Lucas Friar had a secret, a secret that he couldn't spill until the time was right. The time just happened to be right, today.
"Okay, today we are learning about the Ancient Greeks," Mr. Matthews once again tried to gain the students' attention, yet everyone groaned again, "Hey! This is funner than the sixties!"
Suddenly, a very ugly dog-type thing crashed through the window. Cory and Lucas knew exactly what this was, a hellhound. Their eyes locked,brown on brown and they nodded.
"Riley, Maya, Farkle, and Lucas come with me into the hallway." Cory said, hoping the Mist covered it up. Riley nodded, looking in fear as Maya and Farkle followed close behind. Running out of the hallway, the three had no clue of what was happening.
"Lets leave, right now." Lucas said slapping his palm with the back of his hand.
"What's going on, Ranger Roy?" Maya had no idea that this was no time to joke.
"I'll explain on the way! Mr. Matthews will give us a coverstory." Lucas yelled.
"But-" Lucas had to cut Riley off.
"Trust me!" He boomed.
The three nodded and followed him as he ran out the door. Lucas put two fingers in his mouth and whistled.
"Stthi, " he shouted in Ancient Greek. " hrma diabols!"
How everyone understood that, well... you'll see.
"You can speak ancient greek?! I can understand it?!" Maya freaked out.
"Why did you say, 'Stop, Chariot of Damnation!'" Farkle asked.
Lucas ignored the two and through a silver coin onto the street. Then, just where the coin had fallen, the asphalt dark-ened. It melted into a rectangular pool about the size of a parking space bubbling red liquid like blood. Then a car erupted from the ooze. It was a taxi, all right, but unlike every other taxi in New York, it wasn't yellow. It was smoky gray. I mean it looked like it was woven out of smoke, like you could walk right through it. The passenger window rolled down, and an old woman stuck her head out.
She had a mop of grizzled hair covering her eyes, and she spoke in a weird mumbling way, "Passage? Passage?"
"Four to Camp Half-Blood." Lucas said and looked pleadingly at everyone to get into the cab as he opened the door.
When they reluctantly nodded and got into the cab, they noticed there wasn't one- but three ladies with stringy hair jammed into the front seat.
"Give me the eye! I'm driving!" One said.
"They only have one eye?" Maya questioned, her eyebrows raised. Lucas waved it over as if it were normal.
"You had it last time!" Another said.
"SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE EYE!" The last one yelled.
This continued for another ten or so minutes.
Time Skip!
They finally reached their destination. Farkle was drooling at the sight of all of the architecture. They walked inside all of them looked at the place in wonder.
"Lucas! Your back!" a girl squealed as she hugged him. Riley stiffened, tears about to escape. "Oh, you brought friends."
"Sarah! I'm not interested!" Lucas said as calmly as possible. Riley relaxed and her smile returned.
"Ah, I see you've completed your tasks of finding the demigods!" A centaur said, pleased, "Well, to explain everything, Lucas shall take you on a tour."
Lucas waved for them to come, "This might come as a shock, but the greek gods of Olympus are real."
"Puh- lease." Maya said.
"Well, they are." He looked at Maya and back at all of them, "Anyways, they still find humans and have offspring with them. The babies are called half-bloods"
"So, your saying we are half-bloods?" Farkle asked.
"Yup!" He pointed to himself, "I'm a son of Apollo. You three are Un-Claimed. They will claim you soon." He also mumbled, "Hopefully''
Riley froze in her tracks, "W-whats that?" She pointed above Farkle, who had an Owl on top of him.
"Farkle! You've just been claimed! Athena is your mom." Farkle mouthed, 'Oh, that explains a lot.'
"So, I'm not a clone! That explains why I don't have a birth certificate!" Farkle looked relieved.
"Technically, since Athena is a maiden goddess, the baby comes from her head." Lucas said as Farkle put on a blank face.
"Now that everything is explained, I'll give you a tour-" Riley cut him off.
"But, I'm Cory with Topanga's hair!" Riley said, "Remember! Uncle Shawn said he was there when I was born!"
"Mr. Matthews said you were adopted," Lucas started, "I know this is a lot to take in..."
"How!" Riley didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it.
"It was sort of a mis-carriage" He rubbed the back of his head.
"So, did you come to pick us up?" Farkle asked, "To send us here too?"
"See, you are a true Athena kid" Lucas praised jokingly. "Now, lets actually start the tour."
They walked around Camp as Lucas guided them.
"Who was that horse-guy?" Maya asked, her eyebrows knit together.
"That's Chiron, he helps train everybody." Lucas said as if it were obvious. "Let's go to the arena, it's where you usually get claimed"
"We have three new demigods today, introduce yourselves."
"Riley Matthews, I'm un-claimed." Riley said sadly, she wished she knew.
"I'm Farkle, Son of Athena"
"Im Maya-" The Lyre appeared over Maya's head
"Daughter of Apollo" Lucas finished smirking.
"I'm your sister?!" Maya said shocked.
"Huh, I was right!" Lucas voiced his thoughts, "Missy owes me ten drachmas."
"Missy?!" Riley's jealousy perked up.
"Drachmas?" Maya was just generally confused.
"Drachmas- The basic monetary unit of Greece, notionally equal to 100 lepta. Also, a silver coin of ancient Greece." Farkle said, flaunting his Athena brain.
"Anyways, Missy is a camper here, she's a daughter of Aphrodite." Lucas explained, "You know, she's not all that bad. She just tries to be like her other half-siblings."
Riley frowned in envy, 'If only Lucas saw how much I liked him...' She thought.
Oh, he will, a woman's voice rang through Riley's head before she shrugged it off and sighed.
"Hey, where do we sleep?" Maya asked.
"You sleep in a cabin according to your godly parent." He took a walk down memory lane, "The ones you saw on the tour."
"Where do I sleep?" It was bad enough she was un-claimed, she at least wanted a place to stay.
"The un-claimed campers go to the Hermes Cabin." Lucas said.
They all said their goodbye's and went to sleep in their cabins.
