Luke's Point of view

The Romans, and hunters had left in the days following the capture the flag game, the Aphrodite cabin spread rumors about who was dating who, we had capture flag every Friday, overall things had returned to what they would normally be at camp half blood. One of the rumors was that Annabeth chase was dating Demetrius, the son of Hermes that she had escaped from Tartarus with. That rumor was proven false though when Demetrius came out as gay.

Annabeth was just a good friend of his. Over the summer some of the campers began to accept Annabeth and Demetrius despite their mistakes. By the end of the summer Demetrius seemed to be growing close to a son of Dionysus whose name was Jordan Stewart. Annabeth also seemed to be getting close to Adam Mason, a son of Eros.

The idea of demigods dating other demigods had seemed weird to me at first, because I thought that we would have all technically be related, but I was told that gods don't have DNA so it doesn't matter except for half siblings of course.

One thing that I wasn't enjoying as much about camp though was the amount of attention I was getting. I wasn't used to being the center of attention, in school I was either the kid getting bullied, or the loser that everyone ignored. Now after what I had done in the war, and because of who my dad was I couldn't avoid the attention I was getting.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against my dad, but being his son has gotten me a whole lot more attention than I'm used to. One day I was sitting on the beach thinking about that, and everything else that had happened this summer when my grandfather came walking up out of the water. I hadn't spoken to him since the day that my dad had taken me to meet him and my grandmother at his palace. I'd seen him at the rewards ceremony after the war, but we hadn't spoken.

At one point during our conversation he said, "I think you are more like your father than you realize. It is clear that you have his fatal flaw, along with many other traits that you have shown since arriving here.

It is quite obvious how proud of you he is, as am I. I know that I haven't seen you as often as your father, but you grandmother and I also care about you."

I smiled and thanked him, I told him that my dad had already told me how proud he was of me a couple times. That caused my grandfather to chuckle.

He changed the subject and asked me, "I can't help but wonder what is bothering you?"

"How do you know something is bothering me?" I asked not meaning to sound rude, I just wondered how he could tell. 

He looked to be slightly amused, but he said, "I don't imagine you would have been sitting there if you didn't have something on your mind, that and like I already said you are a lot like your father, and back when he was a camper here he did much the same thing."

After that I admitted what had been bothering me ever since the war ended. I told him that I wasn't used to getting so much attention, and it was making me uncomfortable. He basically told me that in time I would get used to it, I would never enjoy it, but I would just have to help anyone who came to me looking for it, and in time I would get used to it. He said that my father had always been the same way, he had never really enjoyed all the attention he had gotten, but he accepted it reluctantly, and been the leader that the camp needed. I knew that my dad didn't really like formalities, and now I understood why.

When my dad told me that he had convinced the other Olympians to allow my mother to become a goddess, so he could marry her I was happy for them, all I wanted was for them both to be happy. I had known for quite a while that my mom still loved my dad, and it didn't take me long to realize that my dad was the same way. Due to that I was happy for them when they were married. I could clearly see how much happier they were, and that's all I needed to see to know that I had made the right decision.

Late in the summer my grandmother had my new uncle.... Okay that's a weird thought, but since this is the demigod world it's the truth. His name was Andrew, and he would get the position that was taken from Triton after he had betrayed us to Tartarus.

Camp continued as usual. I took part in the various camp activities with varying degrees of success, I was better in some activities than others, but I knew that eventually all my skills would improve if I practiced enough. I figured I would get lots of practice time since I would be staying year round.

One evening as the end of summer was getting close, that year's beads were handed out. I was given my own necklace, and that year's bead. The bead was pitch black, but it also had the names of those we lost on it surrounding a gold hourglass. Obviously the black represented the war against the Tartarus, and the names would remind us of who we lost. The hourglass represented me, the first, and most likely only son of Perseus at camp half blood.

I didn't really think that was necessary, but obviously I couldn't do anything about it. I didn't think I had done enough to warrant all the attention I was getting but I knew basically everyone else disagreed. The next morning I saw a form letter on the table beside my bed, it had to have been Mr. D. that wrote it because he had gotten my name wrong. I had gathered from the other campers that he does that to everyone, so he doesn't have a grudge against me, even though he and my dad aren't on the best of terms.

I obviously knew that I was going to stay year round, and I'm sure that he and Chiron knew it as well, but I guess they give the form to everyone anyway, even if it was obvious what they would do. I had certainly had an interesting summer, I had learned the truth about my dad, fought in a war, and once that was over I just had fun at camp with everyone else.

Camp had become a second home to me, but it was going to be my home year round now. I didn't have a problem with that, I knew that although I wasn't quite used to all the craziness that comes with being a demigod, in time I would be. I had friends at camp, and I knew that my parents would visit me whenever they could. I still missed Christina and the friends that I had lost, but I knew that they had sacrificed themselves, and they didn't want me to be upset over them.

The only thing besides their deaths that sometimes dampened my mood was the new prophecy. We knew hardly anything about it, so we had no idea what was in store for us during the next war.
