Chapter Text
News circled around camp half blood everybody heard about the new boy who defeated the minotaur , rumours were spread and assumptions were made regarding his godly parent (half of the campers were convinced he's a son of ares)
Percy jackson son of sally jackson woke up after three days at the infirmary under intense care, he was lost and confused where the hell was he?
Until slowly memories came back to him. Mrs.dodds, grover, the weird old ladies,the minotaur.....his....mom...and finally collasping on the wooden floor of a farm house
He wanted to cry ....he really did...but for some reasons it just didn't came,grover passed by and apologized he brought him the minotaur's horn thanked him for saving his life and said something along the line "i think you might wanna keep it"
Which was true but as percy looked down at the horn placed inside a shoebox on his lap all he could think of was the exact moment his mother disappeared in a shower of golden dust
Grover led him to the big house where to his shock and confusion was his latin teacher mr.burner standing
-mr.burner?
-Ah! Percy i see that you are awake how are you feeling?
But percy didn't register a thing he said because his latin teacher who usually used a wheel chair was STANDING and the lower half of his body was one of.....a horse?
Somewhere in his mind percy remembered learning about it in class what was it again?...a... a...senator? no the fuck that's the politician dude...a c....c..centipede the fuck no those are insects
Chiron noticing percy's deconcentration cleared his throat
-percy come sit with us
Percy did so eyeing mr.d and the table of pinochle as chiron said
-let me introduce you to mr.d our camp and activity director be polite
Percy was THIS close to rolling his eyes when mr.d heaved a sigh and said
-ugh i suppose i must say it welcome to camp half blood yada yada don't expect me to be glad to see you
Percy frowned and scooted away from him if there was one thing he had learned from living with gabe it was how to tell when an adult has been hitting on the happy juice , percy turned to his latin teacher
-mr.burner what's going on?
-not mr.burner i'm afraid that was nothing more but a pseudonym you may call me chiron
Okay sure no problem percy was more lost then ever , it didn't help clear his confusion when mr.bur- no CHIRON told him that he was a centaur and the trainer of heroes that monsters exists apparently and that the greek gods are real and one of them could be his father.....his father was never lost at sea... he was a deity probably with a WHOLE domain and powers.... yet he let him and his mom suffer at the hands of smelly gabe....
he shook his head to clear his thoughts and tried to focus on what chiron was saying as he gave him a small tour around camp
Camp is beautiful honestly but it seems like no one is ACTIVELY taking care of it , some cabins looked abandoned and untouched while others were overcrowded and falling apart
He asked about the locked cabins and chiron said they were "honorary" ,percy frowned he was liking this place less and less he also noticed that the campers and satyrs were mostly older than him and all of them bear scars
Chiron called over a girl with blonde curls and piercing grey eyes, she looked his age, percy remembered seeing her in the big house when he first stepped in
-percy this is annabeth a daughter of athena she'll continue showing you around and will take you to cabin 11 where you'll be staying until you are claimed
Annabeth pointed things out for him her voice neutral , when they came to a stop in front of a small wooden cabin with a silver caduceus drawn on it a symbol of hermes
-this is cabin 11 follow me
Percy followed behind her nearly tripping making annabeth roll her eyes at him and mutter something that sounded suspiciously like "i can't believe i thought he was the one"
-this is luke he'll be your cabin counselor for now
Luke was a handsome older guy with blonde curls blue eyes and a nasty scar on his face
-for now?
Percy asked softly confused
-you are undetermined so you'll be staying with us until you are claimed by your godly parent
Luke explained gently
-and when does that happen?
Campers around him laughed at his words causing percy to shrink back on himself but he noticed how dry and humorless it was , luke said in a carefully masked bitter tone
-when they decide to claim you
For some reasons percy didn't like the sound of that at all
