Athena’s cabin held the other flag and my friend Annabeth was their captain.Īnnabeth is not somebody you want as an enemy. The bad news was that for once Athena and Ares – both war god cabins – were against us on the red team, along with Aphrodite, Dionysus and Demeter. On the blue team were Hephaestus’s cabin, Apollo, Hermes and me – the only demigod in Poseidon’s cabin. Well… they’re always out for blood, but this night especially. They’d captured the flag from Ares – with my help, thank you very much – which meant that the Ares cabin would be out for blood. The night before, Hephaestus’s cabin had pulled off a huge upset. We were all excited because that evening capture the flag was going to be totally vicious. Typical summer-camp stuff.Īfter dinner, all the campers were hanging out at the dining pavilion. The campers were playing pranks on one another and our camp director, Dionysus, was turning anyone who misbehaved into a shrub. I’d come back from my most recent quest about two weeks before, and life at Camp Half-Blood was returning to normal. I’ve fought single-headed dragons, double-headed, eight-headed, nine-headed and the kind with so many heads that if you stopped to count them you’d be pretty much dead.īut that time with the bronze dragon? I thought for sure my friends and I were going to end up as Kibbles ’n’ Dragon Bits. I’ve been snapped at, clawed at, blowtorched and poisoned. Trust me, as a demigod I’ve had my share of bad experiences. I am not scared, okay? Anybody says different, I’ll rearrange their dental work. Biding my time and waiting for the right moment to strike. One of these days, he’s going to be sorry. No disrespect intended.ĭid you ever get revenge on Percy for soaking you with toilet water?Ĭlarisse: Oh, that little punk has been bragging again, huh? Don’t believe him. Of course, it’s easy to be brave when you’ve got an arsenal of super powerful lightning bolts. I mean he took on Typhon and fought Kronos. Some day, mark my words, I’m going to pulverize Michael Yew and his whole wimpy cabin.Īside from your father, who do you think is the bravest god or goddess on the Olympian Council?Ĭlarisse: Well, nobody comes close to Ares, but I guess Lord Zeus is pretty brave. He thinks Apollo is so much better than Ares just because they can use ranged weapons and stand far away from the battle like cowards. I would love to break his bow over his head. There’s this new guy in Apollo cabin, Michael Yew. Oh, you mean specifically? So many choices. Who do you most want to pick a fight with at Camp Half-Blood?Ĭlarisse: Whoever gets in my face, loser. But again, you do not want to be a demigod. You need to make it to Camp Half-Blood right away. They might walk funnily because they’re trying to hide their hooves inside fake feet. They laugh weirdly and they eat anything. If you do think you’re a demigod, find a satyr fast. Seriously, this may sound fun to read about, but it is bad news. I thought I’d lost my mom forever, and I was stuck on a hill in a thunderstorm fighting this huge bull dude while Grover was passed out wailing, ‘Food!’ It was terrifying, man.Īny advice for kids who suspect they may be demigods, too? I didn’t even know I was a demigod at that point. Percy: I’m going to have to say my first fight with the Minotaur, up on Half-Blood Hill, because I didn’t know what the heck was going on. You’ve had a lot of close calls, but what’s been your scariest moment? I’m still not sure I’d trade my sword for that, though. And it doesn’t exactly make a fashion statement, you know? So having clothes that morphed into armour would be really useful. I guess it would be cool to have a set of armour that melted into my regular clothes. Percy: Hard one, because I’ve really got used to Riptide. If you had to trade Riptide for another magic item, whose item would you choose? I can’t get through the year without getting kicked out or blowing something up. I’m probably not the best person to give advice, though.

You’ve got to make it clear right away that you’re not somebody they can pick on, but you also can’t be a jerk about it. I mean everybody wants to fit you into a box, right? Either you’re a geek or a jock or whatever.
