Hello! Welcome to Not so Mortal After All! If you're new to this, I basically had people PM me their OCs and now I'm writing a story with them :) These are the characters that were submitted:

-Julia Vincent (submitted by Wisdom's daughter)

-Alison Minerva (submitted by Myusernameisoriginal)

-Mika Florence (submitted by Tybee10)

-Isabelle Fray (submitted by Booknerd4622)

-Dalilah Bryony Eneiss (submitted by Linnea-chan)

-Lucy Quinn Johnson (submitted by Percabethlvrknowsall)

-Phoenix Glace (submitted by Pepsicola541)

-Leila "Lei" Musique (submitted by Smiling Sunflower)

-Rose (submitted by Guest)

Let me clear something up quickly- they will all be in the story, but they won't all be main characters. In the next chapter I'll let you all know who the main characters will be- I was going to let you know in this chapter, but I'm having a pretty hard time deciding, so the next chapter it is! :)

Also, this chapter is really just to get this story up and running, not so much for plot or story purposes… sorry 'bout that!

Disclaimer: Camp Half-Blood belongs to Rick Riordan, the characters belong to various reviewers… so, yeah, I own nothing. :(

Isa's POV

I sat in Chiron's office, waiting for him to find the folder. We had new campers coming today, and I was interested to know what to expect.

"Ah! Here it is!" Chiron turned toward me, triumphantly holding up the large vanilla folder. He opened it on his desk, and papers spilled across the hard wood surface.

"That's a lot of papers," I commented, eyeing one picture of a girl with dark hair and a mischievous smirk on her face- I might have to keep an eye on that one.

"We have an…interesting group," Chiron replied. I nodded, my eyes falling on a small sticky note that had keep away from Aphrodite campers scrawled on it. The note was stuck to a picture of a girl with amber-brown straight hair who looked to be around 15 years old.

"Interesting," I echoed. "Do we know all their parents?"

"I believe so, yes. Apollo, Poseidon, Ares, Aphrodite, Khione, and even one Artemis."

"Artemis?! How did that happen?!" I asked, shocked. Artemis did not seem like one to break her vow to be forever single.

"I believe the girl was a deer who was shot by a hunter. Artemis took pity on her and turned her into a girl- something like that," Chiron replied, scanning one paper with Alison Minerva written in neat cursive across the top.

"Oh," was all I said. As one of the oldest campers as well as Chiron's assistant, it was my job to train new campers. I'd never trained an Artemis camper, though. And did Chiron say that one girl was a future Aphrodite Camper? My eyes flashed back to the sticky note that warned to keep Aphrodite campers away from the amber-haired girl. Oh gods. I bet that was a fun car ride.

"How many campers?" I asked, picking up yet another picture. This one showed a girl with skin so pale it looked unreal and blue-gray eyes so light they looked almost as white as her pale blonde hair.

"Eight, I believe," Chiron answered matter-of-factly.

"Eight?" I asked in shock. Normally we only got two or three campers at a time. "That's a lot to train all by myself," I told him doubtfully.

"Rose can help you," Chiron said, dismissing my concern with a wave of his hand. I grinned at the suggestion- Rose was a huntress sent to Camp Half Blood by Artemis to seek out potential recruits, as well as a good friend of mine.

"When do they arrive?" I asked, glancing at the clock on the wall that read 1:45 pm.

"Two, I believe," Chiron replied. "Argus was going to drive them all here at once. They'll be waiting for you at Thalia's old pine tree."

"I'll find Rose and get over there, then." I said, accepting the folder from Chiron. "Thanks, Chiron."

"Good luck!" He called after me as I left his office. I almost didn't hear him mutter under his breath "With those campers, you'll need it."

Like I said, just kind of a set up to the story. The next chapter will probably be in one of the new camper's POV. Reviewer's question: Anyone ever been the "new kid" at school? (Thinking about new campers made me think of this.) I have, several times. Until next time!
