It had taken Elektra nearly 5 days to travel from San Francisco because her Aunt Polly had booked them on a scenic train trip through Canada finally arriving in Long Island, New York. Elektra was still in mild disbelief that she go to Camp Half Blood wondering why she couldn't just continue to learn her skills under Polly, her fellow demigods sounded mad though the idea that she might meet a true daughter of Aphrodite did intrigue her.

[Color=LightSeaGreen][B]"Now Elektra as I said you will be staying in the cabin for Aphrodite's children where you should be welcomed with open arms. Be nice to them and remember it has been over 1,000 years since your mother had a child so many won't even know your position in the pantheon. Watch out for offending Mr. D and also his wandering hands, he was always in need of self restraint. Keep safe and remember that your mother and I love you.

[Color=lightsteelblue][B]"I'll be fine Aunt Polly, you worry too much"[/B][/Color] answered Elektra as she slipped the shoulder straps on, 

Polly suddenly hugged the beautiful Platinum haired girl she'd come to think of as her own daughter.

[Color=LightSeaGreen][B]"Goddess I wish I could go with you as your serving maid"[/B][/Color] said Polly just before kissing Elektra and letting her go. 

Tears glittered like liquid crystal in Polly's eyes as she stood by the SUV and waved Goodbye but soon the nymph was hidden by the trees as Elektra walked down a faint trail. She had listened to everything Polly had told her about the Camp but till she saw with her own eyes what lay ahead of her was still more fantasy than fact. She moved so quietly that she was halfway past a doe and fawn before they realized she was even there. It was not with stealth Elektra moved but a natural grace that made her flow over the landscape like a gentle wind.

She stopped at something that she couldn't see yet sensed a puzzled expression on her face, it was the barrier of the fleece and for a moment she thought of turning back. The thought was banished by her curiosity and she took her first step into a strange world that she knew deeply was her birthright and destiny. Adventure lay ahead and though coupled with danger still promised a life worth living whether long or short and she meant to have it.
