Way of The Halfbloods |Page 2|

–sounding a little uncertain. Suddenly another kid appeared calmly, slipping into Jason and the girl’s conversation. “Capture the flag, you say? What cabins are leading the teams this time?”. “Uh, no clue,” said Jason, turning to face rain “I think I overheard on my way here that it may be Hades and Aphrodite cabins, but I may be wrong,” Ky said as he emerged from the treeline around the archery grounds.

“Bet,” Jason said, a slight grin on their face. “Hopefully you’re right.” “Yeah… But hopefully, if I’m right, Hades cabin doesn’t lose because I’ll never let myself hear the end of it.” Ky scratched the back of his head, appearing to be partially lost in thought. The other person, who had butted into the conversation a few moments before, began to laugh. “What side shall I be on? I’m friends with both teams.” Ky moved to face the individual in a hurry and said, “Please join our team! I would rather not lose! If I do, my mental stability will never allow me to move on.” “Join the Aphrodite team for all I care,” Jason growled, rolling his eyes. The individual gave Ky a smile and gave him a quick pat on the head, which seemed to ease Ky’s anxiety. “Sure, sure, I’ll join you guys; we’re going to win, don’t worry,” the person said. Jason grinned and said, “Unique powers” to rain. “So I guess I might join a team; I just don’t know which team is correct.” She turned to clearly consider her options. As they said, “We have to keep in mind the older campers; we need to watch out for the Aphrodite children; some of them have charm speak; like Piper McLean, we have to watch the older campers; they are experienced, and we need to choose the cabins with the best people; we chose cabins, not people.” Jason appeared to know a little bit about the strategy for capturing the flag at Camp Halfblood. “This is correct, but I guess I’ll be on Aphrodite’s team.” I mean, they seem like a strong team, so I’ll join Piper just to make it fair for the new campers at least, or do they choose us?” She groaned, obviously feeling a little disoriented. “They chose you, or we chose you,” was Jason’s prompt response to her. “So then, I guess I’ll wait to be chosen,” she shrugged. “I’m hungry,” a rumbling in her tummy started. Jason raised his eyes to the sun. “Breakfast should be soon” . Ky looked at Jason and abruptly became alert, asking, “Food?” Jason trembled slightly and said, “Yeah, now I’m leaving. Too much social interaction.” Ky grinned and said, “All right! I’m going to talk to everyone here as well. If there’s toast or bacon for breakfast, please save it for me.” After replying, “Uh, ok,” Jason turned to go. With evident curiosity about their disparate characteristics, the Nyx girl gave the others a questioning gaze. At the sound of the morning bell, Jason started to move toward the dining pavilion. With her stomach still growling, the girl from Nyx cabin started to move towards the dining pavilion. Ky didn’t even pause when he heard the breakfast bell; he just started sprinting toward the dining tent and shouting, “Food!” The girl grinned, “Finally,” and started racing along Ky as a result. Ky noticed the girl and turned to face her. “Hello! I’m Ky , and you are. ” When they had received their meal, Jason sat at the Hades table and started to eat in silence. “Nova, and it’s nice to meet you, Ky.” She gave a small smile and slid to a halt, her eyes falling on a structure. “It’s so beautiful.” Ky came to a stop next to Nova. “What is?”-
