Rue

Imagine having a friend that disappeared one day and suddenly appeared at your house when you were having a cookie? Yeah, that’s how it feels like when Sydney appeared in our school. Now she was riding on a pure black Pegasus while we were being carried by the wind. I have been asking for explanations ever since she appeared but all she said was always the same, “Save it up, keep up your energy, you’ll need it. Explanations when we are there.” Which wasn’t very helpful.

Finally, we arrived in a forest. She rode on her pegasus while we walked alongside her. She steered her pegasus along a zigzag way following a small order to an opening, and we saw a beautiful campsite. “You can go now, Diana.” She ordered.

“So,” She began and turned towards us, “Welcome to Camp\-Elements. This is the only safe place for us, half\-bloods. I am the daughter of Arianna, the goddess of air and hunt. She is responsible for the sun,clouds and birds, but Night the goddess of fire and night is responsible for the moon, night, stars and any other animal that stays up at night. There are 5 main goddesses” she said and led us towards the cabins, “There are also 5 other goddesses that aren’t as important as the 5 but they are also useful. Anyways, as I told you, my mother is Arianna, the goddess of the sky, air, clouds, and whatnot. She can also control weather like rain and such. I am her only child. Then this is Night’s cabin.” She took a deep breath like this cabin was dangerous.

“Well, this cabin doesn’t have any children and most people assume she is a maiden goddess, well, the goddess never really reveals themselves that much. Anyways she is the goddess of night and fire, as I said. She can control the moon, fire, and more. She is the mother of wolves and she\-well sometimes she can be a bit too fierce.”

“Great, I think I fit here.” Nyx exclaimed happily and bounced up and down. “Woah, you need to get a claim.” Sydney stopped her before she could enter.’’ “Whatever that is, ugh. Fine.” She complained and grunted angrily.

“As I was saying, Night is a good mother too. Next cabin.” She continued talking about the cabins like Adzela, Hola and Levanna. Finally, we stopped in front of a big blue and purple house. “The meeting house,” Sydney announced. “This is where our director lives and where the cabin directors have meetings. Also, this is where we send each other to the quests. The water goddess is friends with auras\-wind nymphs. So she sent her water dragon in this house to send us off for missions.”

“How? Ride?” I asked. “Nah,” Sydney made a half scoff half talk. “He spits us out to the place we want to go.”

“Oh...” I said disappointed, I loved water and I also liked dragons, “Thought I’d be able to ride on one. I’m definitely rooting for that goddess.”

“Who’s your director?” Cayla asked, “Y\-”

“Did somebody mention me?” A voice sang as the door flung open. A ghostly\- OMG GHOSTLY??!! “WHY WOULD THERE BE GHOSTS IN THE CAMP??!!” Nyx shrieked.

“Respect, miss” The ghost said with a smile and bowed, but then as if she got hydrated, she started acting crazy and flying around and looking at them up and down. “Oo, new half\-bloods! Wheeeee!”

“Miss Cruna, they are unclaimed.” Sydney said with a sigh, then whispered to Cayla, “She is heavily hydrated with caffeine.”

“Noted with thanks,”

she sighed and shifted her backpack on her shoulder. “Um, hello, uh, Miss\-” Nyx began but got interrupted by the aura.

“Miss Cruna. I am an aura, welcome to Camp Elements, half\-bloods!” She said and did a little dance. “Now, the cabins, probably someone will tell you about it. Let’s go explore the meeting house!”

Miss Cruna is totally hydrated. She was swarming up and down and all around. She giggled every once in a while and did a backflip, easy for her, she was flying. I was getting tired and I wanted to get a claim. Unfortunately, I want a cabin even more. She grinned and giggled, making us all uncomfortable, even Sydney who had lived here longer than I did.

“She’s totally getting on my nerves.” I heard Sydney grumbled, then she called out. “Miss Cruna, it is dinner time in the pavilion, I should bring them to the dinner pavilion now.”
