I thought sitting at the Hermes table in the Pavilion was a madhouse. I was clearly mistaken. The counselor meetings were a bit more organized but it was pretty crazy. And I had an odd feeling like this was the tamer version.

I sat in between Nico and Jason who were both helping me out with names and stuff.

"Leo when Argo II be ready to fly?" Annabeth asked the elvish boy who was fiddling with something in his hands.

"That's Leo Valdez from the Hephaestus cabin," Jason whispered to me.

Leo looked up at me and gave me a smile. He reminded of an Elf. If elvish had dark skin with curly brown hair and wore suspenders. "But you can call me anything you'd like." And if dwarves were flirty.

I looked away trying to ignore the blush on my cheeks. Nico grumbled something under his breath.

"Festus has been hooked up so probably a couple of more days," Leo responded to Annabeth as he looked at the thing in his hands.

"Do you know who's coming with you?" The blonde boy next to Nico asked. His blue eyes landed on me noticing my curious stare. "I'm Will Solace from the Apollo cabin."

I nodded in understanding. He looked kind of like Jean besides the eye color and lack of glasses. But he also seemed a lot more mature.

Everyone looked at Jason to answer his question. Jason immediately looked around. "Well its Annabeth, Piper, Leo, Percy and me. Along with two others from the Roman camp."

I felt the tension in the air from the mentioned Roman Camp. According to Jean apparently, the Romans and Greeks have a lot of tension between them. I like to think it's because Rome did steal Greek mythology with a few tweaks here and there. Also because Rome did conquer them like they conquered everyone in the Mediterranean.

"Do you even know if Percy is alive?" The muscular girl from the other say spoke up as she sharpens her sword.

"Of course he's alive, Clarisse," Annabeth said glaring the girl challenging.

"Ares cabin, the god of war," Nico mumbled to me.

Clarisse's eyes immediately snapped up glaring at me. She clearly already hated me. "Maybe there's a reason Fish Brains two point zero showed up now."

Fish Brains two point zero. She was talking about me. I could feel everyone look at me.

"And don't forget she already knew Poseidon." She added her glare getting more intense. "What was that about?"

I fidgeted with my necklace finding some comfort with something to mess with. I finally understood Leo just to fiddle with something.

"Well you see I've actually known him for years," I admitted looking down at my lap.

I heard the mechanical clicking noises stop meaning Leo was actually paying attention. "The Big Three weren't supposed to have kids." Conner from the Hermes cabin spoke up.

"They aren't." Nico agreed. "How long have you known him?"

"He started appearing when I was about five years old. He wouldn't stay for very long and he only came like once every ten months." I told them. "Until about a year ago he started showing up more."

"The Battle in New York," Annabeth said like she discovered how the puzzle went. "But why was he visiting you in the first place?"

I shrugged still messing with my necklace. I didn't want to tell them about my parents leaving months at a time leaving me alone most of the time.
