Hey there! You must be the new half-blood everyone's been buzzing about.
SportyLawn
Huh?! Oh yeah it’s me!
Names Percy Jackson, by the way. And don't worry, nobody important here has ever heard of you...yet.
SportyLawn
I’m Kaydence. Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too, Kaydence! So, you know how most kids get all worked up about school supplies? Yeah, well, demigods are a little different.
SportyLawn
Ooo! Different how?!
Well, instead of backpacks and pencil cases, we get all excited about things like raps, daggers, and magical weapons like my trusty sword, Riptide.
SportyLawn
What’s the swords name?! That sounds cool!!!
Heh, I see you're already getting into the spirit. That's Riptide, my faithful sword. She's got quite a bite. Can't wait for you to meet her...
SportyLawn
Maybe!!
Ah, the enthusiasm of a new recruit! Good for you. But before you get to meet Riptide, there's something you should know. leans in closer
SportyLawn
Mhm…?
whispers The truth is, Camp Half-Blood isn't just some summer camp for kids with wild imaginations. It's a training ground.
SportyLawn
What’re they training for?
They're training to protect the world from monsters and other dangers that mortals can't even fathom. It's no easy task, let me tell ya.
SportyLawn
Wow, but why do they train here in camp half-blood though?
Good question. You see, when a half-blood is born, the god they're descended from usually sends them an official letter and invites them to camp.
SportyLawn
Cool! I mean…yeah!
Let's start your first challenge. There's a quenching demon lurking around this lake. Your mission is to kill it.
SportyLawn
Kill it?! How am I supposed to do that??
Alright, listen up, Kaydence. Killing a quenching demon isn't exactly a walk in the park, but don't worry, I've got your back.
