4 My ‘sight’ and day

{7 Months later}

Days tunred into weeks, weeks turned into months I continued 'seeing' things and people more frequently first was the nymphs and the satyrs, then my dad and the practice monsters around camp, then the other demigods around camp and finally objects started appearing as shadowy figures.

I had told my dad about the shadowy figures I could 'see' and he just replied that it could be an ability of my blindness but I didn't think that was quite right.

As I made my way with the Apollo kids to the archery range, I was driven out of my thoughts by a voice.

"Hey, Ozzy." I turned my head and saw a shadowy figure with a slight blue aura around it.

"Hey Clark." I replied to the person who the voice belonged to.

"Are you ready for practice today?" Clark asked me.

"Yeah, I am all warmed up." I replied as Clark and I grabbed our bows and enchanted quivers that replenish our arrows.

As Clark and me, stood in our form, grabbed an arrow from our quivers, strung our bows to full draw and let it fire. As the arrows flew with tremendous speed they both quickly reach the targets Clark's arrow almost completely piercing through the middle of the target and mine struck the inner rim.

Clark turned to me and said "Looks like you are getting better."

"Yeah, but I still have a long way to catch up to you." I replied.

We both continued drawing our bows and firing our arrows continuously until practice was over, by the end of it my arms were so strained that as soon as the adrenaline stopped flowing through me I couldn't lift up them up.

As I left my bow and quiver on the practice stands I started walking to my next session, not before saying goodbye to Clark.

My next 'class' as my dad liked to call them was Pegasus riding, one of the class I honestly hated the most. As I made my way to the stables I caught up with the group who I took this class with, the Aphrodite kids, a black shadowy figure with a blue aura around her came running at me and yelled in a distinctly feminine voice "Oh cute little Ozzy." Emma came to me and quickly started pinching my cheeks. As soon as Emma had spoken the shadowy figures of the other Aphrodite kids started turning to me and yelled "Oh, cute Ozzy."

Then both boys and girls came around me and started pinching my chubby cheeks , but I continued trying to slap them away. I couldn't help but think, seriously Aphrodite kids are the worst. Our group made our way to the stables with the Aphrodite kids continuing to surround me and touching my face.

We finally made it to the stables and the greenery where the Pegasus where kept and as I watched how the Aphrodite kids approached the shadowy figures of the pegasi, all pf which had a distinctly grey aura around them.

The demigods quickly approached their favorite pegasi and mounted them, of the few pegasi left I made my way to one, but as soon as it saw me it quickly started running away from me and flying.

I couldn't help but sigh at this development since it always happened whenever I approached them. I started 'looking' around for one pegasi in particular I finally found him, he seemed almost exactly the same as the other ones except for the slightly green aura that surrounded it. I made my way to it, with caution it approached me and started nuzzling me with its snout.

"Thanks, dude for always letting me ride you." I whispered as I scratched its mane and it neighed at me in approval. I then jumped on its' back and the pegasus stared running before taking off into the air. I felt the wind in my hair, I tried trying to control where the Pegasus flew with careful maneuvers since this was the point off the class.

One hour later the class had finally finished, and my pegasus landed on the ground. A shadowy figure with long flowing hair who I could only presume to be Emma came to me and said "Wanna go to the campers lunch with all of us?"

"No, thanks Emma, I will go later, I am gonna go and find dad." I replied.

"Well, have fun then and say hello to Mr Chiron for me." Emma replied back. I then waved goodbye to everyone from the Aphrodite cabin and they did the same.

While making my way across camp, shadowy figures walking around with green and blue auras. I continued walking closer to the Big House where dad should probably be. I climbed the stairs and a voice surprised me "What are you doing here kid?"

"Ahgg!" I yelled jumping backwards.

"Shouldn't you be at lunch with the other campers?"

"Oh, hi Mr D.I didn't see you. Yes, I will go later just came home to talk to dad for a bit." I replied.

"Well go right in Chiron should be in there." I opened the door and went in and I couldn't help but think about Mr D for some reason he was the only thing that I hadn't been able to 'see' even once after several months, maybe because of his olympian status.

I walked around the house and heard the clopping of my father's hooves in the attic, I made my way to the attic and just as I was about to open the door I heard a voice which wasn't my dad's saying "A child of the eldest shall be born."

I decided to not think too much about it and said "Dad." as I knocked on the door, "Yes, son come in."my dad replied.

I opened the door and there was my dad looking more serious than I had ever see him. He turned to me and asked me "What is wrong son?"

"Nothing Dad I was just wondering when you will let me fight in spars or capture the flag.I feel like I am ready and I want to improve." I said.

" Well, if you think you are ready, I guess I can't stop you." He replied "I will make a new schedule for you and your lessons."

After having a rather long talk with my dad, I left the house and made my way to the lunch fire. There I grabbed my food and threw the best part of it into the fire for the gods but the entire time I couldn't help but think what was that voice in the attic.
