The office wasn't that interesting. I spent most of my time, waiting for Chiron to come back from some important matter. What ever it was took an aweful lot of time. When he finally returned, he just sat there glare at me.

I told him the entire story, from beginning to end. How I had ran away from home, struggled on the streets for a while and eventually found Nick. Chiron seemed to believe everything I said, but still held suspicion.

"I see." He commented. "Did you get claimed?" He wondered. "Aside from you story, I have a suspicious you have. Besides that, I'm also considered a monster. I can smell your scent. It's harsher and heavy almost like that of the others here. It also smells like that of war. You were claimed right?"

I stared at him for a moment. "Yes, My mother is Bellona the goddess of war." Chiron smiled, he didn't seem uneased or frightened, almost like he knew this would happen again.

"Demigods are becoming more tolerant of each other nowadays." He replied. "Bellona, the sacred war goddess of Rome. She is impresive as a deity, but her children are even more unique. Like you, there has been a time when a Roman came to this camp. Although, his presence was more condicending. He is currently our swordsmaster, alongside Percy."

"So, what you want me to be the swordsmaster?" I asked. Chiron laughed. He seemed impressed to have me think of that. But he didn't say anything. "I want you to prove yourself. Tonight there is a camp anual capture the flag game. If you prove yourself worthy then you could stay, but if not. Then you'll have to find a camp for yourself."

"Ok." I nodded. "I accept. As a daughter of Bellona, I will take the challenge." Shaking his hand, I left the blue house. When I finally made my way out, Annabeth was sitting on the porch.

Her blonde hair bathed in the sunlight as her stormy grey eyes escaped the confines of natural beauty. Annabeth was definitely interesting. Not as an intellecual, but also as a person. She was also beautiful. Which kinda gave me a bit of jelousy in her.

"Your back. So did he answer your question?" She said without opening her eyes.
"Perfectly clear. But I want to know one thing, who's the strongest here at this camp?"

Opening her eyes, she smiled. "Well it's hard to say. But I could be considered the most experienced of the bunch." Annabeth sighed.

"Good, that makes you my rival." I smiled, "Come on, I'd like to see what kind of weapons I could use for the big fight tonight."
