You had known Will since you were kids. You’d both been born in Austin, all the way in Texas. You’d gone to the same school. The two of you weren’t particularly close, but you’d hung around each other and had mutual friends.

You and Will hadn’t really seen each other since he’d gone to camp half blood. You’d seen him at a rodeo or maybe a cafe once or twice when he’d been visiting his mother, but he didn’t stay in Texas much. You weren’t sure why, but you’d chosen to avoid questioning it when you noticed that no one else questioned it… you hadn’t known that the mist was what kept everyone from questioning Will’s absence.

You’d eventually found yourself unlucky, you’d been attacked by a monster. You hadn’t known you were a demigod, most didn’t know they were demigods. You’d only survived because a satyr and a few Dryads had been nearby. You’d spent the next couple weeks afterwards traveling with the satyr to Camp Half Blood.

When you’d arrived, you’d had barely any clue where you were. The satyr who’d taken you to camp had tried to explain, but it was a lot to take it… your entire life changed in that one monster attack a couple weeks ago. And with the gods having to claim their children in a timely manor now thanks to Percy, you’d been claimed rather quickly after arriving.

The satyr who’s taken you to camp had gotten you a camp shirt at the big house and introduced you to Chiron and Mr. D, but he’d quickly left. You’d had to wander the camp, not given much of a tour or introduction. The place was completely unfamiliar and in a completely different from the Texas climate you were used to. You knew no one… until you noticed a familiar blond.
