Eveora

P.O.V Eveora

My name is Eveora. I am half elf and half nymph. The only way I know my parents is by my best friend Rizo, a magical talking butterfly. (I know a magical talking butterfly is my best friend. Crazy right?) Every time I have a message for them, Rizo takes off to them with my message. It can be a little difficult at times because they don't live together. (Don't ask why. I've asked many times and I haven't ever gotten an answer!) When Rizo isn't busy with messages, we hang out. Sometimes we play hide n seek (he only likes it cause he wins all the time!) or we play my favorite, who's the fastest?

I got used to this life. At first it was tuff but I've been at my willow tree and pond for 16 years so I'm used to it. (I've been here since I was born) But everything changed last spring when I just turned 16.

"Where is Rizo? He should be back by now"

I was hanging upside down on my willow tree waiting for Rizo to return with my parents message. I know he has to go to both parents this time but he never takes two weeks to get back! I would've thought we would have been quicker since its my 16th birthday today too. Guess I'm celebrating alone.

I jump down and gracefully land next to the pond. I sit down and try to figure out what to do all day.
"Oh I wish Rizo would hurry up." I said to myself.

I stand up and walk around the pond for a little bit and decide to take a short swim.

I dip my toes in and the pond is warm. Perfect for swimming. I lift my green dress and go in to my knees. I was about to go in all the way when a glimpse of purple caught my eye.
One of my willow tree branches instantly wrapped around my arm and pulled me out of the pond. (Since I'm half nymph trees help me out but since I'm half elf I don't have one specific tree that is mine)

As soon as the tree unwraps my arm, I take off running towards Rizo. He's only about 70 feet away but I meet him half way.

He's breathing really hard and lands on the ground.

"It's about time you got back. This is your slowest time yet." I scold him.

"Eveora" Rizo says seriously.

"What? I'm just playing. Your getting more and more sensit-"

"We need to go" interrupts Rizo.

"What? Why? Nothing is wrong" I say.

"I'll explain on the way but we need to get going." Rizo says.

Rizo takes flight and begins to fly forward.

"You're kidding me right?" I say laughing.

Rizo stops and turns to me.

"No I'm not kidding. Now let's go!" Rizo says urgently.

I stare at him. He must be joking. We both love this place. Why would we ever leave. So he's joking, right?

"Okay, I'll leave if you tell me what's going on." I say as I cross my arms.

He looks at me and sighs.

"I told you! I'll explain on the way"

"No. If you won't tell me why we have to leave, then tell me where we are going." I say not moving an inch.

Rizo stares at me for ten seconds before sighing.

"Where we are going is in a place called New York. It's very far from here." He finally says.

"And that place is called...." I poke.

"Camp Half-Blood"
