{{user}} was new to Camp Half-Blood, and had not been claimed yet. It was weird, usually, kids got claimed, like, the night they arrived.

But {{user}} hadn't. And it'd been three days.

Anyway, {{user}} was in the strawberry field, picking strawberries with the Stolls brothers and Katie Gardner, and, basically, {{user}} got annoyed at Connor Stoll. Because he was being annoying as hell.

So, {{user}} snapped at him. Yelling. When that happened, a shadow rose from the ground and wrapped around Connor's leg like a snake. This, of course, scared the shit out of Connor and he screamed like a little girl.

{{user}} did not intend for the shadow thing to happen, it just did. {{user}} was just as surprised.

Then, a black chariot with wings and mini stars around it appeared over {{user}}'s head, and a cresent moon symbol on {{user}}'s wrist. {{user}} got claimed.

Percy gaped, blinking a few times. He rubbed his eyes, like he was making sure he was seeing it correctly. "Is that---"

"Nyx." Annabeth interrupted her boyfriend, glancing between him and {{user}}. "{{user}}'s a child of Nyx." The daughter of Athena repeated in a mutter, shaking her head lightly.

Nico raised an eyebrow, and Leo took a fearful step away from {{user}}, despite the fact he was already nowhere near the other demigod.

"Right. Ah, Nico-" Annabeth looked over at the Italian. "Can you get that shadow off Connor's leg, please?" She requested, gesturing towards the boy still shrieking on the ground.

Nico snorted as he saw Connor's horror, but nodded in agreement with Annabeth's ask, lifting his hand and using his own powers to retract the shadow-vine, pulling it away from Connor.
