Chapter Nine
Now that they were on Long Island and out of Riverdale the weather was completely normal and not below freezing. Veronica went straight to her cabin to change into her clothes. She hated wearing the mortal clothes for too long. Once she was done she began to show her friends around the camp.
Hundreds of kids within the ages of anywhere between nine and twenty-one, dressed in both modern, and ancient clothing, are everywhere around the camp. The five of them walked passed a small outdoor amphitheater with children sitting inside of it, as an old man was reciting Homer's The Odyssey. That was how the young children learned about mythology history.
"I know this might sound scary, but here is where you will learn and train yourself to harness your powers. This is so you can become leaders, artists, warriors, and heroes"
"I'm no hero" Kevin said looking around the large woods that surrounded the camp
"You all can be heroes with training, it just takes some time"
They walk past other kids who were firing arrows in a shooting range; throughout javelins. While some were crafting weapons in a blacksmith's furnace and others were making objects on a pottery wheel. Betty was not paying attention to the group when all of a sudden an arrow was fired and it grazed the tip of her head and she ducked to the ground. Veronica ran over to help her to her feet and confront whoever shot the arrow.
"Don't be such an asshole Jasper" she stated holding onto Betty
"Relax Lodge it's only an arrow. If you bring anymore so called heroes here one day I won't pretend to miss"
"Shoot another arrow at the newbies and that arrow will follow up yours, on your way to the Underworld" she said scowling at him as they all walked away
As they continued walking they passed all of the camps houses with a specific color on the outside and greek letters to match it. All Demigods stayed in the house dedicated to their Godly parent.
The first house that they passed had many smokestacks outside of it belching smoke into the air. Outside, there were a few kids who were both young and older teenagers were covering in black dirt and sweat working. "Meet the heirs of Hephaestus; God of blacksmith and weapons" Abigail said as the group was looking at all of the different houses in complete shock
As they continued on Veronica decided to stop the group for a second. They stopped in front of a house that resembled an ancient fortress Barbed-wire fencing surrounded the lawn of the fortress. A dozen big, mean, and ugly guys were on the lawn yelling and some were physically fighting one another. While the rest were quietly listening to music on the other side. "Here we have Archie's house. The heirs to Ares; God of war. Some are exactly like their father while others are not. Archie this is where you'll be sleeping from now on" Veronica said laughing knowing that Archie didn't want to be with all those big scary guys
