Pit of Despair

Pit is an unclaimed demigod. He's been at the camp for 6 years, training and learning the ways of the gods.

He's about to be claimed by the one person he didn't want to be claimed by.

Chapter 1 - The Art of Shutting Up

 * "Dodge. Swing, no swing!" I called from the sideline. I was training the Hermes cabin in the art of using a sword.


 * I used a bow and arrow.


 * Kayla, a real daughter of Hermes, lowered her sword. "Since when are you the counselor?"


 * "Yeah," her twin, Finn, agreed. "You're not even claimed. You're not even a child of Hermes."


 * "Just because I'm bad at stealing doesn't mean-"


 * I was cut off by Kayla. "Shut up, Pit."


 * I glared at her. "You could at least be more sensitive," I snarled.


 * Kayla tossed me a slab of meat. "I stole that from the kitchens. I was going to eat it myself, but you can have it if you shut up."


 * Meat! The boy part of me couldn't resist. I bit into it.


 * Kayla smiled. "Now, leave me and Finn in peace, and train the new Apollo kid or something."


 * I made a face at her and walked away.


 * I chewed and thought as I journeyed down to the lake.


 * I needed to think about things.

Chapter 2 - Powers

 * I tossed the leftover meat into the lake and watched it float away. I collapsed to the ground and pulled an arrow out of my quiver.


 * After the attack, Chiron had commanded us to carry weapons at all times.


 * I notice that people around me are going at a considerably slow pace, which is what I need right now.


 * How it was determined I was a demigod, I don't know.


 * Every kid talks about horrible dreams, one from a pit.
