We just sat there and relaxed in the sun for a bit. I felt an energyburst coming up, and I jumped up. 'I am going to do it!' There it was my ADHD guided me, I began to run towards the wall, ignoring the boys that told me to not do it. I jumped as high as I could and grabbed hold of a grip. I knew the lava below me had began to run. I looked up to see the first rock coming at me. I swungto the left and heard it hissing in the lava below me. I saw the first platform about 9 feet away. Well, Ren you have a plan, now do it, go from platform to platform. Show those boys what you are made of. I started to get there, dodging rocks and grabbing new grips at the same time. I was almost there, I stretched out my arm and grabbed the edge of the platform. I gave myself a little lift-of by pushing if the foot grips. I was hanging from my arms, noway I would get them stretched. I kicked the air and got on the platform. On to the next one! I planned out my route. Not to long as the lava was catching up on me. I jumped up and started to climb upwards. I made it about six feet when a rock scratched my arm. Ouch! 'Come on Ren!' I heard from down below. I smiled, it was Luke. I reached out for the next grip, and the next one. I barely got hit by a rock, and missed it by a few inches. I made it to the second platform. The third was way higher than the others, this would take me way longer. Again I jumped, managed to dodge rocks and stay ahead of the lava, I was a quick climber, so lava wouldn't be such a problem. I was on the part where I was going to make a weird turn, there was this part where there were less rocks falling down every once in a while, I was trying to get there. I was in the middle of a turn when the pattern of the rocks changed. I was now on the part where most of them fell down. I got slammed on my arm, and stupid enough let go of the grips as a result. I fell down. This is so not going to be a repetition of Luke, grab something Ren! I reached out for the nearest grip. And of course it had to be a small one... None other where close. The nearest platform was-luckily- next to me. I was holding on with my right arm, the platform was on my right... I'd either have to switch holding arm, not an option, or make a wild jump. Jumping it is. Maybe use some air? I kicked the air and reached out for the platform. Yes, I missed,naturally I did. I fell, yet again. I let out a scream as I fell. Some people might have thoughts racing through their head, the only thing in my brain was AAAAAAH! at the moment. I prayed to dad that I wouldn't die just yet. Closed my eyes and hoped with all my heart that my dad, Zeus had heard me. Oh yes, the 'helpful' thought got turned into words.

I watched as Ren sprinted ahead of me and before I could warn her she jumped straight at the dizzying slope of rocks that had almost melted me into a pile of liquified teen spirit. I couldn't blame her, it was a demigod thing to be impulsive in the face of a challenge, but I felt responsible for her in a sense. I knew I had just known her recently but right now she was the only person remotely related to me, and I didn't want to mess that up. I gave Carmine a wary gaze before tentatively walking towards the lava wall. I stood at the foot of the wall to provide some sort of spotting for Ren as she made her way up the climbing wall. She did a lot better than expected as she stretched over the rocks and pulled up with a spring to her step. My heart jumped as a rock grazed her arm and I blurted out words of encouragement, hoping that would keep her going. That was it, I was going up. I gave Carmine a look that he probably took as 'I'm going to be stupid again so someone has to keep an eye on the both of us.'
I started at a section that wasn't covered in lava and began to diagonally scale the wall in a direction I've never been through to try and uh, compete. Yeah, compete with Ren. I didn't want her to think my building anxiety was for loss of faith in her. I mean, I just fell so I hoped she wouldn't take it too personal. Before I got too close Ren lost her grip against the rocks and began to fall. Adrenaline pumped through me as I turned into spiderman and threw myself in her direction at a speed I didn't know I was capable of doing. There was no way I was going to make it and I let out a deep sigh of relief as she grabbed a hold of a grip. I kept on pushing through as she swung towards a tricky platform and I jumped down on a platform underneath and slightly to the right of her. She missed and I ran with outstretched arms towards her, hoping the platform would help support our weight. Gravity pushed down on me with great force as I wrapped my arms around Ren. I almost fell off the ledge as she brought me down with her. My pelvis his the floor of the platform with a jarring thud as Ren hung off the ledge, clutching onto the back of my shirt for dear life.

There had to be some unwanted gene we shared that gave us such bad luck. Thanks dad.

Carmine was startled when Ren jumped up and yelled. He almost fell over from the shock of it. "Just. . . try not to fall, okay?" Ren didn't hear him, she was already at the wall beginning to climb. There was no way it could happen twice, right? After a few shouts of encouragement from Luke and Carmine, Luke stood up and started climbing again.
So one of the youngest kids was acting as a chaperone, cool.
Carmine sat back and calmly watched both children of Zeus scale the rock wall. If you had just started watching, you could never tell both of the campers had almost died five minutes ago. After a few close calls, there was a really close call and Ren almost toppled down into the lava, but she managed to get a grip and stay on. Carmine looked back and saw that Luke was gaining on her, even with his scraped hands and knees. That ambrose stuff must work wonders, or else his legs would still be sore and bruised. Watching them now, it seemed unfair that Ren had used the winds to propel herself up, but Carmine could manipulate the entire thing, so he couldn't call the kettle black.
The rock wall does look kinda fun though, Carmine thought.
As if on cue, Ren took another nasty slip and began falling. Carmine's heart did jumping jacks and he had hot and cold flashes all at the same time as Ren fell on Luke and sent them both over the edge. Luke managed to hold on, but it looked bad. Why did all of this excitement have to happen on Carmine's first day? He stood up quickly but slipped on something.
"Were those rocks always there?" Carmine said in a quizzical tone.
He pried his eyes off of the tiny piles of rocks and ran to the wall. Luke was losing his grip and he had to act quickly. Maybe Ren could use the winds again? She was a daughter of Zeus, it came natural to her. Carmine couldn't climb up though, he had a phobia of heights but could never admit it to Ren when she asked him to climb the first time.
"You only get better with practice, right?" Carmine said to himself as he looked at his hands. It was a cheesy line, but Carmine was going to do the same exact thing he did when Luke had fell the first time, but he didn't have enough in him to make something that big again. He had a new plan, and it was crazy. Carmine unsheathed his great sword effortlessly despite it's size and got a running start. After a few steps, Carmine threw his sword into the ground where it sunk to the hilt. At first nothing happened, but after a few seconds the ground began to rumble and the sound of a fissure opening up was heard slightly, although it sounded muffled. The lava level appeared to be lowering quickly by the second. Thank the Gods that his plan worked. The sword and his demigod powers had created an opening in the ground that could drain the lava. His expression went from relieved to panicked in a split second. Did this place have some underground tunnels? Were there people down there? It was too late now, most of the lava had drained to Gods know where, hopefully not onto other people. He didn't feel the chills anymore, so he hoped everyone was fine. Carmine noticed that he got cold when bad things happened, like when Ren was passed out or . . . or when Luke and Ren were still hanging onto a rock suspended above lava. The lava was drained but the fall was still nasty even from this height, and Carmine didn't think ambrosia would heal crushed intestines.

I was so lucky to have an amazing brother, he had just almost died and here he was, climbing after me. Once I fell I felt something, so I grabbed it. It was Luke, he had been on a platform below me. Here I was, hanging on his shirt, above lava. I heard a noise from below me, as if a giant drain had appeared. I wasn't planning on finding out just yet.
'Hold...on...to....something!' I called to Luke as I hung from his shirt and tried to grab the edge of the platform he was on. He grabbed a pointy part of the wall which sticked out. 'Got something!' He yelled back. 'Ok.' I said. I kicked my legs to get up, without using the wind, I could do this without my Dad for once. I grabbed the edge of the platform and started pushing myself up. I let go of the shirt and somehow managed to get on the platform. I crawled to Luke. 'Are you alright?' Why do you even ask, does he look like he is alright Ren, not really right? He had obviously hit his side when we fell. Now the adrenaline was gone I could feel pain in my arm, but I didn't look, seeing something would only make it worse. I was just glad we were save. No we weren't... I carefully looked over the edge of the platform, but no lava to be seen. Only a sword, that of the son of Hades. It had been a giant drain. 'At least we do not have to worry about lava anymore. Now what do we do Luke?' I said as I sat next to him.

When I realized the lava disappeared and had no means of engulfing me or my half sister, relief rushed through me. I collapsed onto the platform, pressing my sweaty back against the sun-warmed rocks of the wall, sticking out a thumbs up in the direction of Carmine. I looked to Ren with my jaw still unhinged from my heavy breathing and my eyes wide, as the adrenaline and terror was still in progress of getting out of me. After heaving out my last hyperventilated sigh, I figured out how to talk again.
"I'm... fine..." I breathed.
Alright so my arms and knees were bleeding along with my throbbing pelvic bone and aching muscles, not too much to handle. Not to mention the tingling sensation in my jaw from being hit in the face by flying rocks. Okay and my stamina was depleting from me faster than Apollo could make a haiku. My ankles also stung a lot. I didn't feel all that fine.

I looked upward, squinting past the sun to look at how much much distance left that we had to climb as Ren asked me her next question. I struggled to stand up against the pain in my legs as I tested myself to see if I could climb the amount we had left to go. We were a bit past halfway so I somehow decided the possibility of climbing up to the end was a good idea. Maybe I was just really tired of this wall screwing us over and wanted to just finish what I've already started- twice. As I tightened my grip against the hand holds, I stepped onto my footholds. My attempt was over before it even started, however, when I tried to pull myself up to a higher platform. I stumbled back onto the platform, almost falling off the edge in a state of exhaustion.
"Uh, maybe climbing down is easier, now that the lava is gone." I mumbled, my words slurred with drowsiness. "There's always another day at the climbing wall, and I' not a big believer of 'three's the charm'."
I mustered enough strength to force myself to keep going as I began to climb down the wall, hoping Ren would oblige and follow. It was a tedious task to keep yourself properly suspended but I finally touched ground again. Definitely not as strenuous as climbing up. I stumbled back onto the grass and almost collapsed onto Carmine on my over there but managed to crush no one as I face planted into the soft earth.
"How did you do that?" I asked, my voice muffled as my face was pressed against the ground. "I need you on my team for capture the flag I think."

Carmine felt kind of sorry for letting Luke collapse like that, but Carmine think he deserved it a little. Nobody should of climbed it again so soon after almost falling, but maybe it was a Zeus thing. Carmine was lost in thought about the subject until he heard the words Capture The Flag. Carmine looked away from his sword still in the ground and looked to Luke, "Wait, did you say capture the flag? I. . . I love that game, I always used to play it with some buddies from school, until those buddies tried to kill me anyway. I stopped them though." Carmine tried to look all cool in front of Luke, the guy was tall and confident, something Carmine wasn't. It was hard though, he tried to control his breathing from causing the fissure, but he was tired from it. Carmine also tried to contain the excitement in his voice from hearing about capture the flag, which wasn't working either. You could almost hear him about to yell and be super ecstatic. Carmine seemed to calm down after a few seconds. "You okay though? Those cuts look pretty bad." Carmine looked at Luke's blood stained clothes, but maybe the ambrosia stuff would work again, Carmine didn't see why it wouldn't. He walked over to his great sword in the ground and picked it up with ease, the ground seemed to spread apart even more when he needed to remove his sword from it. He thought about where the lava went, but if Luke hadn't freaked out, then it seemed okay. His paranoia faded and Carmine's supposed guilt slipped away. "Hey," Carmine walked back over to Luke and sat down next to him, fiddling with his king's crown necklace. "You should of went to the top, after all of that intensity. It would of been badass." Carmine chuckled. "I'm probably dead though for breaking the wall. I heard Mr. D was a hard ass."

I started following Luke down the wall, thinking Well that went great didn't it? For the first time we all almost died, how nice? I grinned, sure I had to get used to this stuff. Before Camp I had had Caty to protect me, now I had to learn to protect myself. I jumped down from the last grip, almost tripping over some of the rocks. 'Wow...' I said as I looked at the destruction our little climb had caused. 'I hope this isn't as bad as it looks...' I ran over to Luke and Carmine. 'Capture the flag? Oh my Gods that is s-' I stopped my sentence. I shouldn't break into other people their conversations. 'Sorry...' I said as I sat down in the grass next to Luke. Carmine worried about Mr.D getting mad at him. 'He would get that you saved our lives, right?...'

I decided not to ask about Carmine's friends' attempted murder. Weird stuff happens all the time in a demigod's life and this probably wasn't the best time to ask. I smiled at his excitement over Capture the Flag. It was one of my personal favourite activities in camp and it was comforting that someone else shared a sort of childish joy at what normal people would consider an elementary school game.
"You know what? Ambrosia actually sounds fantastic right about now." I mentioned, hoping Carmine had more of that 'sweet bread' wherever he got it from.
I watched as Carmine retrieved his sword from the ground as if causing fissures was no big deal. I only saw something like that once when Leslie almost swallowed the Ares bully, Gary, whole by opening a hole in the training arena floor. I raised my eyebrows in a light hearted Are you kidding, fashion.
"Dude, I'm still unsure if you want to kill me or not." I pointed out with a smirk. "If I went one step further, my organs would've stopped working or something. Next time, it's you on that wall."
I was secretly hoping I could've achieve this 'badass' stature that Carmine offered but I guess those brave-to-the-point-of-insanely-dumb moments were reserved for quests.
"Yeah, you're right. Mr.D's gonna kill you." I said as-a-matter-of-factly. "That's what you deserve for saving lives, Carmine. Shame on you."
Ren took up a seat in mother nature's grassy cushions and I was insanely glad she didn't decide to continue scaling the wall. I would've pulled my hair out.
"What are you saying sorry for? Those who almost die together, converse together." I assured her as I laid down on the soft grass and stared at the clouds in a leisurely manner.
I needed something soothing to take the edge off and take my mind off my injuries.
"Mr.D isn't exactly the god of reason, but he won't do anything you should worry about. I doubt he even cares about the wall. Chiron is the activities the director anyways, but he would understand so you don't have to worry about him." I informed Ren and Carmine.
"Now, this Capture the Flag dream team..."

Carmine made a mock frowny face and said, "I guess I had a good run. I'll just go mad and talk to daisies all day." He tried to keep up the act and quiver his lip but he ended up just laughing at himself. "Heh, alright, alright. I'll take your word and hope Chiron is cool." Carmine listened quietly after that and only talked after Gin finished talking about CTF. "Totally dude! You, Ren, and Me! But isn't there some rule saying you can't have a lot of Big Three members on each team? And isn't there a draft too? What happens if I don't get picked on your team?" Carmine fired off a hundred questions rather quickly, and kept moving his hands. "But if we were on the same team, oh man. You could fly me into their base, and I could be like a human earthquake and just destroy their defenses. I have gotten used to controlling the ground now, so I think I could even just dive-bomb through it and take the flag like some kind of human mole. Or I could cover the flag in rocks so only the top shows, maybe shadow travel back and forth really fast, or maybe even just collapse the entire enemy team's forest and walk over the rubble and take the flag." Carmine got really quiet after the last choice, but got his excited face and voice back on rather quickly. "But I'd love Capture the Flag! You think any of those strategies would work?"

I started laughing at the strategies of Carmine, they were rather extreme. 'I think you'd be dead if you'd use those strategies on capture the flag, or if you won't die of exhaustion, the other team would die. We would make a good team though, don't get me wrong.' Capture the flag was always something I wanted to do, but never really had the chance. 'I'd love to be in a team with you guys.' I let myself fall down in the grass. 'Though you have a point there, three of the big three, we would be an overkill team. And for three people to form one team, aren't we a bit small?' Nah it would be really cool anyways. 'When do these capture the flag games happen here?'

((Sorry for the late reply, guys))
I grinned as Carmine and Ren shared their positive thoughts on our tag team trio. I realized I was the only one who has actually played CtF before, and had a good grasp on camp rules. Thinking about Hades and Zeus on the same team for Capture the Flag gave me bad memories of our last game with the daughter of Hades, Leslie, which was full of awkward moments and our team being disqualified from winning. In spite of this, I felt an added comfort knowing that Carmine and Ren would be on my team.
"Oh no it's fine." I told Carmine when he voiced his concern over us being on the same team. "There's two teams in capture the flag, which goes on every Friday after dinner by the way , and they're separated by cabin anyways. Either way there would be at least two Big Three cabins in one team. We can leave the Poseidon kids in the dust though."
A playful grin tugged senselessly at the corners of my mouth. I haven't had a good capture the flag game in ages.
"We'll have half the camp on our side, but we can play in a group. Just... Ah trust me when I say shadow travelling is a bad idea. Sorry Carmine. I'm sure if you don't decapitate anybody then you can used your cool rock powers. I think you're right though, I'm not completely sure we're on the same roster. I bet if we put on a sad 'I'm new and shy' story to Chiron he might allow us to be on the same list. Wanna go do that now?"
I began to stand up impulsively, wanting to waste no time. Before I could balance on my two legs, I toppled over and my face landed on the grass again. Unfortunately I somehow forgot about the seering pain in my legs.

Carmine laughed at Gin, but quickly stopped and decided to help him up. Carmine grabbed his hand and lifted him off of the ground, helping him remain standing this time. "Capture the Flag sounds great, but you've got to slow down. Eat some more of those lemon squares, then we can go at it." Carmine was really excited for capture the flag, he loved the game back home and he thought it would be even better at a place like here. He could barely contain his excitement. "Hey Ren, you think we could go play now? I'm up for it once Luke is all fixed up."

'Carefu-' I said but Luke fell down in the grass. 'You OK?' I asked him giggling. 'Sure Carmine, let's follow the plan Luke had. New and shy.' I said as Carmine helped Luke up. 'It fits you, shy...' I told him jokingly. He smiled and handed Luke a bit of "Lemon squares." 'You know, those squares are called ambrrr-ptff.' 'Why is it such an annoying name to pronounce?' 'Ambrosia?' Luke asked, and I nodded. 'That stuff...' I sat up in the grass, I looked at my arm, only a small cut was still there. I pushed myself up and jumped up. 'Can you walk yet Luke?' He could, luckily, we started to walk towards the Big House. We passed some groups of campers doing their own activities. I waved at some people that I had met before. Camp Half-Blood is actually some sort of gigantic family with hyperactive kids who can do all supernatural weird and amazing stuff. I saw the familiar blue building ahead of us. 'Pray to the Gods we won't meet Mr.D there...' We walked up to the porch, and I saw the rocking chair that Mr.D liked to sit in. It missed some parts. I knew that there had been a group of Hermes children who set up a trap on that chair, I hoped they didn't get caught for doing so. 'Here we go!' I swung the door open.

Woo you go, Luke, a good idea for once. I congratulated myself as the others seemed on board with my weird solution to all being on the same team and as soon as the post-ambrosia effects began to sink into my injuries until they were nothing more than bruises and thinning scratches, we made our way to the Big House. I hesitated as I made it up the porch steps.
Last time I was here, Mr.D and I didn't really see eye-to-eye, resulting in unresolved tension between the two of us. I took a deep breath as I opened the screen door and I began to wonder if this was that good of an idea with me involved. Fortunately I saw Chiron first, sitting at his office with his door ajar, back turned and typing furiously on an outdated desktop.
"Chiron!" I called out to him to get his attention.
A series of snorts and grunts responded to my call and I looked down in shock as I saw Mr.D passed out on the couch, his whole body stretched out and his belly poking out of his hawaiian shirt as he snored in his sleep.
"When did gods need sleep?" I hissed out in quiet frustration to the others.
We tiptoed around Mr.D and entered Chiron's office, who noticed us call for him and swiveled his wheelchair around to face us.
"Sorry for that." He apologized as he wheeled over to close the office door, surprisingly ineffective at blocking out the loud snores. "Luke, Ren, Carmine. What brings you all here?"
He had a nervous look to his eye, as if he could only imagine what went horribly wrong for three of the children of the big three to come speak to him at the same time.
"Eh, nothing potential fatal or anything," I began in attempt to reassure him it wasn't a big deal. "It's just that, Carmine here is having a bit of trouble making friends around camp, and we're not sure if he's completely comfortable playing capture the flag this friday without anybody he knows on the team. SO, being the good kids we are, Ren and I were wondering and just double checking to see if Zeus and Hades are on the same team together this week."
I hated lying, especially to someone I respected like Chiron, but it felt like such little of a deal to either of us. Just a little white lie that didn't harm anyone. Just something made up because telling the truth would take too long. I could only imagine Carmine explaining to Chiron his master strategy for the capture the flag games.
Chiron's dark eyes narrowed in thought, probably wondering if I was playing an April Fools trick on him.
"Carmine, is this true?" He turned to look at Carmine with a look of bewilderment. "What about Fletch? You didn't get along with him?"
I didn't think Chiron meant to pry on Carmine's relationships, but having been rubbed the wrong way by Fletch is probably against the laws of physics.
"Well I mean, Fletch can join too, but like, he's more of a ranged fighter." I nudged him on.
"I... suppose so, but don't make this a regular thing. Fletch will also be on your team, Carmine. Take as long as you need to get settled in. The world of Greek Mythology is a headache, so whatever way is easiest for you to get used to it. However, I expect no trouble from you next week. Got it?"
Chiron seemed to shrug off our suspiciousness and my brain did cartwheels. I just convinced someone to do something, oh my gods when does that ever happen?
I nodded so fast I almost gave myself whiplash.
"I got it, do you got it?" I asked, turning to Carmine.
