Finding the Hero
The picture above is of the two new campers. They are twins. Their names are Ambrosia and Flare.
Sorry for taking so long to update. I had a crazy summer of sleep away camps.
===============================
Ambrosia P.O.V.
When Mom brought me and Flare to camp I wasn't sure what to expect. In case your wondering, Ambrosia and Flare aren't our birth names, but we were in an accident and couldn't remember our old names. Anyways, when Mom brought us to camp I expected something kind of like a military base. In reality, Camp Half-Blood looks like your normal summer camp, if your normal summer camp has a lava climbing wall and an arena where real weapons are used.
"Hey! Ambi! Come over here!"
Ambi is my nickname.
I'm torn out of my camp-half blood memories. Flare is calling my name. You see, we were on a quest to find the 'frozen hero'. We were in Antarctica and it was freezing cold, but our fire powers were keeping us from freezing.
"Look at this!" My twin sister said and pointed at the ice. I looked to where she was pointing and saw the gleam of a bronze, metal object peeking out of the snow.
"Help me uncover it!" I shouted to Flare, hoping the metal object could help us find the 'frozen hero'.
We uncovered a sword and saw two hands wrapped around the hilt. We continued to move snow away from our discovery and uncovered a body. We gasp at the sight of the peaceful looking boy in the ice. Flare turns to me.
"Do you think this is the frozen hero that the prophecy was talking about?" She asked me.
"I think so, sis. Let's melt him out of the ice, then we can ask him some questions." I replied.
We used our powers to melt the ice, and as the ice melted and turned into water the boy began to look less frozen and dead. Once he was completely thawed out he jolted up, holding his sword at the ready.
His eyes looked around wildly and I noticed their sea green coloring.
"The frozen hero with the gleaming sword." I said and turned to my twin.
"Frozen ocean thawed out by four." She finished in awe.
I looked at my watch and saw it was 3:59, and I realized that it didn't mean four people, but four o'clock. We had lost the other two demigods, a daughter of Hephaestus and a son of Aphrodite, on our way here.
The boy with the sword heard us talking and turned to us.
"Who are you guys? Why couldn't you just leave me in the ice?" He asked us, anguish evident in his voice.
Flare stepped forward to answer his questions.
"My name is Flare, and this is my twin sister Ambrosia. We are the adopted daughters of Hestia. We couldn't leave you frozen in the ice because we were sent on a quest here by Hera with a prophecy." She told him.
His stance drooped when he heard the quest was from Hera.
"Haven't you messed with my life enough Hera!" He shouted up at the sky before looking at us. "What do you guys want?"
This time I stepped forward and answered his question.
"We need to take you back to camp half blood."
He sighed and nodded his head.
"I can take us there faster than walking all the way across this wonderful, cold land. Come on."
We listened to him and he put a hand on both of our shoulders. I felt my body begin to lose form and I watched as we disappeared into a mist. It was colder than the flame travel Mom used to bring us to camp, but it wasn't cold. We reappeared in the big house where we saw Mr. D and Chiron playing a game of what looked like poker.
Percy let go of us and stepped to the side, glaring at Chiron and Mr. D.
Chiron noticed us and called out.
"Ambrosia! Flare! You're back!"
"Yep," my sister said, "and we brought back your missing demigod."
I guess Chiron finally noticed Percy because he spread his arms wide like he wanted a hug (I don't think he did) and called out.
"Percy, my boy! Welcome back!"
Percy just glared with his arms crossed and replied, "Why did you take me out of the ice. I was just minding my own business after the war, so what do you want from me?"
"Well..."
