Chapter Twelve: Camp Half-Blood and a Quest
We walked around the camp as Alec and Claire gave us a tour. There were lots of kids our age running around and fighting with one another. "This place is amazing." Hermione said. I was holding Serafina and I nodded. Suddenly two teenagers ran up. "Alec!" I heard a male voice call. Suddenly I saw a dark haired boy who looked like Alec. "Percy!" Alec said, smiling at the boy. Standing next to him was a pretty blonde girl with grey eyes. "Hey Annabeth." Claire said with a smile. "Who are these two?" The blonde girl, Annabeth, asked looking at me and Hermione. "This is Victoria Cedrella Peverell and Hermione Granger. They're both demigods but we don't know their parents yet." Claire explained. Annabeth sighed. "Picked a heck of a time to show up." Annabeth said quietly. "Why?" Alec asked. "Someone poisoned Thalia's Tree." Percy said quietly. Annabeth looked down at the ground. Claire and Alec looked absolutely horrified. "What?!" They both asked in shock. "And and Chiron's been fired." Annabeth said, looking close to tears. Claire looked like she was going to cry as well. "Who did they get to replace him?" Alec asked. Suddenly there was a conch horn blowing. "Sounds like dinner." Alec said quietly. He walked me and Hermione to a dining pavilion. I was confused at where to sit so Alec directed Hermione and I up to a big table up front. Claire went with us and introduced us to a grumpy looking man in a Hawaiian shirt and a thin man in a prison jumpsuit. "Mr. D, this is Hermione Granger and Victoria Peverell. They're the two demigod Alec and I were sent to find." She explained. The man in the Hawaiian shirt looked at us and nodded. He stood up and cleared his throat. "Attention everyone, we have two new demigods. This is Hermione Granger and Victoria Cedrella Peverell." He said, everyone looked at us and then back at their food. He gestured for us to go to an overcrowded table when suddenly there was a gray glow coming from Hermione. When I looked over at her she was wearing a beautiful gray Greek style dress
and her brown hair was put up
with sliver laurel leaves around her head.
There was a glowing gray owl above her head. "All hail Hermione Granger, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and warcraft." Mr. D said. Everyone stood and knelt towards her. Hermione had a blush on her face. I smiled at her. "Congratulations." I said. Mr. D gestured her towards a table with a bunch of blond hair grey eyed kids along with Annabeth. Suddenly everyone was gasping and looking at me. I had been surrounded in a glowing green light. When I looked down I was in a blue green Greek style dress
and my hair was up,
and a crown was on my head with a matching necklace and earrings.
Above my head was a green trident symbol. Alec was grinning at me from his spot besides Percy and a one eyed boy. "All hail Victoria Cedrella Peverell, daughter of Poseidon, god of the sea." Everyone stood up and knelt again, this time towards me. I immediately looked around in shock as I was ushered towards the table that Alec was at. "I knew you were my sister." He said with a huge grin. I smiled gently at him. "Welcome to the family Victoria." Percy said. I was hugged by the one eyed boy. "This is Tyson, he's a cyclops, but he's also our half brother." Alec explained. I smiled at Tyson as he let me go. We began to eat and I smiled. Once we were done we walked towards what looked to be an amphitheater, where there was a large campfire in the middle. There was a badass brown haired girl standing with a satyr looking extremely proud. The two were talking to Mr. D, who glanced over at us. "Peter, Allen, just the two I was looking for." Alec grinned and walked me over. Percy followed but he was grumbling. "Clarisse is looking for a third member to join her quest, preferably someone like the two of you." He explained. Alec smiled. "As much as I would love to, I'm a little busy, but Victoria would be perfect." He said. The brown haired girl looked me up and down. "Fine, she can come with. We leave tomorrow at noon." I nodded and smiled at her. "I won't disappoint you." I said with a smile. After the campfire the boys and I walked back to our cabin. Once there the boys set up a sheet wall for me to give me some privacy as I changed into my pajamas. "Goodnight everyone." I said, climbing into bed.
~Time Skip~
The next morning I had changed into an outfit that Alec had laid out for me.
Serafina was in my arms and purring loudly. I had a backpack full of supplies that I might need and a dagger strapped to my leg. Alec walked me to where Clarisse was waiting with the satyr. "Ready to go kid?" Clarisse asked. I smiled and nodded. She gestured me towards a ship ran by dead people. I raised an eyebrow and she grinned. "A gift from my dad Ares. The souls of those who were on the losing side of a war are forced to serve me." She explained. I smiled. "Neat." We got on the ship and set off for our quest.
