Chapter four Kloud I'm currently practicing how to summon and dispel darkness around me when all of the sudden I see a small fire dance along the trees. "Odd. There shouldn't be any fires in the woods. Unless some kids are trying to kill themselves." I say to myself. I get up to check it out. I spotted a kid that looks to be around my age holding fire in his hand. It's one of the new arrivals, the son of Hephaestus, that came in with Annabeth. He seemed to be looking around for something. I decided to melt into the shadows and follow him. He kept walking until he stopped at a crater. It was one of the traps the kids at camp put up for the bronze dragon. If that was what the kid was here for then I would have to stop him now. I ran into the dragon a few times and it is not stable, I barely got out of those situations alive. I had to shadow travel every time to get out of there. I melt back out of the shadows and walk over to him. "It's not safe here, you should leave and head back to camp." I tell him. He looks at me, startled for a moment before he says. "If it's so dangerous, why are you out here?" "Because I've been at this camp for ten years now, and I know these woods," I answer him. Now that I look at him, he's kind of cute and an inch or two taller than me. I wave away those thoughts. "Yeah, well, if you can't tell I'm looking for something. Since you know these woods so well how about you-" He cuts off because the ground starts rumbling. "Dam!" I exclaim.
