Maria found a bunk she liked, at the end of the cabin, away from the main hustle and bustle of the cabin.  She placed her bag on the lower bunk and then sat down, taking a few moments to think about the last few days and now being here.  She had never known this existed, she was stunned and amazed.  There were others like her, sons and daughters of the Gods and Goddesses.  She was one of them, a demi god.  She was still amazed by the revelation.<br/><br/>Thomas had explained about this place, he had told her it was the only place she would be safe, and she was beginning to think he was right.  Especially after the strange creatures that seemed to be chasing her.  The past year things had happened that she couldn't explain.  She had ended up fighting when she could, but usually she ran, with Thomas at her side.  Now she was safe, Thomas was reporting to the Elders or something.  She would be safe here, maybe this mysterious Goddess would claim her, she would find out who her mother was.  But she wasn't holding her breath.  She hadn't been claimed so far, so why should that change now she was here.<br/><br/>The aromas of food reached her and she stood, seeing the others leaving the cabin, heading out towards the dining pavilion.  She was starved she realised as she made her way across the rolling green grass towards the other campers.  She took a plate and filled it with the food, watching others as they offered food at a burning brazier.  She frowned, looking at the plate and selecting a piece of food.  Then she moved to the brazier and made her own offering, "this is for you mother, whoever you might be" she said softly before she moved to the table where the others from cabin 11 were sitted.<br/><br/>
