Chapter Text
"look i didn't ask to be born"
"i didn't want to be a Demigod but fate is cruel"
"how much longer are you going to keep rabbling about your 'sad life" Dario" Mùyáo said cutting off Dario, looked at her "you cannot be talking" Dario said
"come on were almost there" Mùyáo said Grabbing Dario's hand "what color bus are we again?" Dario asked "Blue, now come on" Mùyáo said dragging Dario. "where is everyone" Mùyáo said looking around "hey, Yaoyao there they are" Dario said pointing at them,
they walked over "they were looking for you guys" Winslow said "i had to piss Winny" Mùyáo said annoyed "guys don't start fighting were almost at camp" Auguste said dragging Winslow as they walked down to the bus "can't wait for camp" Winslow said they boarded the bus the counselors did a final head count and they began to unload the ferry
the drive was decent, nothing different from the last few years, Winslow fell asleep face against the window, Josephine took a picture of that "so you think anything is going to happen this year?" Zǐxuān asked poking his head through the gap of the seat "hopefully not" Lana said pulling Zǐxuān back "i do not want to do anything for the gods" Mùyáo said crossing her arms, "i hope we can go swimming!" Zǐxuān said "no, I'm sorry but Zelonji does not like me" Dario said Zǐxuān was about to say something when the bus stopped "oh i guess were here" Josephine said "Josie did you seriously draw on Winslow's face" Auguste asked "maybe?" Josephine said "I-"
"children please start getting off the bus" one of the Counselors said
Dario smacked Winslow on top of his head "wakey, wakey sunshine" Dario said "what..?" Winslow said groggy "get up where here" Dario said, Winslow got up and started walking
"campers please get your bags and start making your way down to your cabins" one of the Head counselors said
"remind me to never let me pack this much again" Sunday said "i do but you never listen Sunny" Lana says
they all walk down the path, a path they have taken many time Dario always gets nostalgic, most of the others go down to lower camp where their cabins are but Azalea, Dario, Mùyáo and Winslow have to go to be in cabin 0 Rhina's cabin though they are not sibling they are the Champions of Rhina
thus they must stay in her cabin to honor her, Mùyáo doesn't mind it she does not like her father, especially not after what he did to her, Azalea loves it she does not like her father either way, Dario is fine with it and Winslow wishes he could be with his twin brother
they begin to unpack Azalea and Winslow share a room and Mùyáo and Dario share the other "hey do you catch vibes between me and Nefertari" Azalea asks "from what I've been observing i would say yes" Winslow said putting his blankets and pillows on his bed "for what it's worth i think Dario likes you" Azalea said Winslow perked up "really?" Winslow asked "i said i think calm down, now help me set up my bed" Azalea said
"hey YaoYao what color blue or this blue" Dario asks holding two blues "but they're both blue?" Mùyáo said "its different" Dario said "i don't know Dario the blue one" Mùyáo said "wow that helps so much" Dario said voice dripping with sarcasm "yeah, yeah" Mùyáo said "do you know what's for dinner" Dario asks "uhh great question I'll ask Winslow" Mùyáo said walking to Winslow's and Azulea's room, she knocked "hey Winny" Mùyáo said Winslow opened the door, he took off his headphones "i told you to stop calling me that" Winslow said voice filled with annoyance "and i wont, anyways i gotta ask you something" Mùyáo said "what is it" Winslow said "do you know what's for dinner? Mùyáo asks "no you gotta go down to the dinning hall" Winslow said "okay bye, bye" Mùyáo said walking back to her and Dario's room
"Dario don't fall asleep dinner is soon" Mùyáo said flipping a page in her book, "ughh, i'm so hungry i cant we just go early" Dario said "i suppose we can" Mùyáo said "go get Winslow and Azalea" Mùyáo said gathering her things Dario shot up from bed and ran to Winslow and Azalea
"here you almost forgot this" Mùyáo said handing Dario his daggers "omg thank you YaoYao" Dario said taking them, "yall ready?" Winslow asked "yes" the three said in unison they went into the shadows and Winslow used them to transport them to the dinning hall "Careful Winslow" Dario said stoping Winslow from falling onto the ground "Thanks" Winslow responded
"Jean!" Josephine yelled as she ran over "hey Josie" Winslow said "hello girls and Dario" Josephine said "hello Josephine" the three of them said in unison "Jean you need to stop overexerting yourself" Josephine said as she dragged Winslow away "bye winny" Dario said
"we should find the others" Azalea said "yeah we should" Dario said, they walked around until they found their friends well minus the children of Hekajm they eat together "Hey you three" Jinna said as they sat down with them. they caught up with each other they talked about school and unimportant things and most importantly they ate "i am grateful for all of you" Dario said "are you giving a speech Ry-Ry" Daniel asked "yes he is Daniel, so hush" Zǐxuān said
"back to what i was saying"
"i know we haven't had the best lives"
"they suck ass Dario"
there was a few chuckles
"but despite our horrible lives we found each other, and to that i am forever grateful that we chose each other and that it's not the family you're born into it's the one that you chose and the one that stays no matter what"
"Dario you're making me cry"
"come here Aeoji" Dario said, he hugged Aeoji "wait i wanna join" Josephine said "Group hug, Group hug, Group hug" Auguste Chanted they all piled into each other "I'm glad that you guys are my family" Mùyáo said crying into Lana's shoulder "Stop Mùyáo we're all going to start crying" Nefertari said
they made it back to their cabin "you okay YaoYao?" Dario asks "can we share you're bed like old times" Mùyáo asks "yeah lets go" Dario said "wait we wanna join" Azalea said running to Dario and Mùyáo's room Winslow trailing behind her, They all piled into Dario's bed "good night" Dario said Winslow was already knocked out and Mùyáo was to tired to respond and Azalea was just doom scolling
