Born from fire chapter 2

i woke up in a tent. i was a big tent, filled with silver pillows and a brazier in the centre. I was lying on some pillows with a silver blanket draped over me. I pushed it off and sat up. my head was throbbing and i felt weak to the bone.The curtains pushed back a beautiful girl stepped in. She was about 12 or 13, and had blonde hair tied in a side braid. her was thick and i envied her for that. She wore  a Greek goddess crown, and wore white skinny jeans, a silver top under a parka. her eyes glittered silver.

"So she has awoken" She said smoothly, and walked out. She came back in with, wait was that Aaron? Aaron looked different, his golden hair was a mess, and he wore a Laurel. he also wore a Greek tunic, and his skin illuminated gold. "Welcome to Camp Achilles Bella, I'm am Artemis, goddess of the hunt and moon" the girl said softly. Artemis gestured for Aaron to go next. " And I am Apollo, God of the sun and music" Aaron said. Artemis and Apollo, they were twins. I gave a really intelligent answer, "uh" Apollo laughed and helped me up. "maybe she needs food" he suggested. Artemis waved her hand a a small table appeared. on it was a slice of pizza, a golden Chalice with apple juice looking liquid inside, and a plate with what looks like a lemon square with Graham crackers crumbled on top.

"Nectar and Ambrosia" Artemis said, reading my thoughts. i ate the pizza, and gingerly had some ambrosia. it tasted like jello vanilla pudding. After, my muscles tingled, and my skin felt hot. But i still felt strong, the nectar had the same effect. my clothes were burned, and dirty, but i took no notice. they led me out into an open field. it was nice, the field was green, and flowers and clovers dotted here and there. But then i noticed kids with Swords, spears and bows. they were fighting dummies, riding unicorns, and spearing things. I shrunk back, as Artemis explained, how i was half human half god. And this was where I'll be training.

It took awhile to sink, so Artemis got a girl my age to help me choose my weapon. She had chocolate brown hair to her elbows, Glittering Auburn eyes, and olive skin. Shw wore tattered jeans, and a red top over a leather apron. her hands were smeared with oil and grease. "Hey i'm Cardinal daughter of hephaestus" She said grinning. "Bella" i said quietly. She took my arm and led me to a worn out shed, with a tin roof. "here just choose your weapon" She said her voice quavering. " i don't know what to do" i said wincing. She stifled a laugh. So i closed my eyes and took a deep breath. i was drawn toward a sword voered with a tarp. I pulled off the tarpo, and gasped. it was a sword made out of silver, with a glittering Diamond hilt. If i put it agaisnt my leg from the bottom of the hilt, the edge would reach my knee.

i strange word was etched on the side. Κυδοσ. "kudos" i read out loud. "it means fame and glory, and compliments" Cardinal said. i smiled. This was my new sword. Cardinal gave me the grand tour, there was a pavilion to eat, and lots of choices for training. She took my by the cabins. three were on a ledge, and the others made a U around them. The first was was made out of white marble, it had silver doors, with two big lightning bolts and a glass roof. The doors had Ζευσ written on them. it meant Zeus. The other looked like crystal except you could see through it. It had a small pond, and dock in the back. The doors were blue and had Ποσειδαν written on it. Which is poseidan. The other one was dark, made out of black marble, its doors were big, and had Ηαδεσ written in gold on it. it was the cabin for hades. "no one lives in these cabins" Cardinal sighed.

With that we moved on. my first class was greek class, and i had to write down all the greek gods and goddess in greek. it was fairly easy, since i was a half blood. Ζευς, ποσιεδαν, ηαδες, ηερα, ηεστια, Δεμτερ, Απροδιτε, Αρες, Αρτεμις, Ατηενα, ηεπηαεστυς, ηερμες. but there was one thing i worried about, which one was my parent?
