POV Salia Anderson
'Greek Gods and Goddess are still here Salia.' The woman who I knew was my mother said, apparently she was Khione, Goddess of snow. To prove her point she made snowflakes appear.
That was how I learned the truth, my mom is a Greek Goddess, I am a Demi-God. Now this is how the day started;
It was finally there, the morning of my departure for this summer camp for special children, as my mother had told my dad. That had bothered me, she was never there, then when she did visit it is because she wanted me to go to a summer camp for special children, yeah "special" probably just meant "troubled" children. I should've never told dad about this monster that had wanted to kill me. When it seemed human it was all nice and stuff, then suddenly he had felt like I was his lunch. Then it had attacked me, and the weird part was that I had launched a snowstorm at it, then it had disintegrated and only left a heap of dust. I had told my dad and somehow my mom had found out about it. It was more than a year ago, the day that I was leaving. I could either stay there the whole year or summer only, definitely summer only I had though when leaving, and I still do.
'Salia dear are you up yet?' my dad called to me while I was looking out of my window, overlooking the town where I have lived all this time. I was lucky in a way that I have never had any good friends, I would't miss them. It has always been better that way. I had my stories to write or just read about stuff. Looking at the sculptures my dad makes, trying to make my own. I lived a happy life. Now this camp was going to ruin it all... Maybe I shouldn't think this negative I thought while walking down the stairs. I had my favourite backpack swung over my shoulder. It was made of fabric that looked like ice crystals. I wore light blue pants, those bleached ones. And a baby blue shirt that I got on a midwinter festival. I could smell something that I loved so much, pie, fresh baked apple pie. 'Morning…' I said to my dad. 'Why so dreadful Salia?' I gave him a "I-know-you-know-why-so-just-let-me-be-look" and he sat down at breakfast. It was only pie, a thing my dad and I ate on special occasions. This was one for sure, though I didn't like it. What I did like was the pie. Once we were done my dad told me he'd drop me off and my mother would take me to the actual camp, something about she needing to tell me something.
Once we arrived at the spot I could see my mother waiting for me, and I walked over to her. 'Hello…mom' only then I realised that I'd never heard her name. 'Karin.' she said as if reading my mind. She told my dad good bye and I hugged him telling him I'd be back and to keep save. I heard Karin mumbling that I'd be the one having most trouble with that. And when I turned to her to ask her she just waved her hand to come over. I looked over to my dad but he was gone. Weird...
'Karin where am I going exactly?' I asked heras we headed for the woods. 'Camp Half-Blood, the only save place for Demi-Gods.' 'Demi-Gods?' I asked completely confused. 'Half human half Greek God or in your case Goddess, I am not Karin but Khione Goddess of snow.' I stopped in my tracks, this was ridicules. ' Yeah and I am Zeus, like he exists and controls the weather and all.' I heard a thunder rumble behind me. 'He does, and mind your words about us Salia, insults are not appreciated. Greek Gods and Goddess are still here Salia.' The woman who I knew was my mother said, apparently she was Khione, Goddess of snow. I was completely confused. To prove her point she made snowflakes appear. My mouth dropped open, this couldn't be real. 'Khione, I-that-I-those snowflakes, I can also do that.' She nodded and explained me to beware of my powers, and of hot objects, they could possibly hurt me when using snow something if I would fight my biggest enemy would be heat, it'd melt my snow. I never liked hot stuff so that wouldn't be a problem. My touch was cold from itself, but I had to be careful not to accidentally freeze somebody. Khione swung her arm and a cloak appeared, she handed it to me and I saw a dagger in the lining. The cloak was dark blue with white warm furry stuff at the top. The fabric was like something I'd never seen, heard of or felt before. 'It fits perfect Salia, now let's get going shall we?' 'Khione what is this?' I took the dagger out of the case and held it in my hands. 'It is made of ice, extremely strong ice, although it is a little weaker than celestial bronze, the cold kind of compensates it.' She explained 'I figured you are going to need a suitable weapon, why not made up of ice? I have had so many of these...' The dagger was dark ice, the hilt was decorated with ice flowers. A pretty dagger. We walked on after I placed it back where it belonged.
When we arrived at the hill that was called Half-Blood hill Khione had to leave. 'Thanks mom.' I didn't know what to do, I was probably never going to see her again. Khione took my hand and squeezed it lightly. 'Stay save, try not to freeze anyone innocent, and try not to die.'
'I...won't... thanks mom...' I walked towards the gate, looking over my shoulder but Khione was gone, only some snow melting on the spot where she had been. 'Hello?!' I said as I passed through the gate.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood"
