Snippet #2475663

Joe woke up around 6 am to the sound of his alarm. He sat up and looked out his bunk. He saw his other sibling snoring softly in their bunks as he stretched. He was always the first one up he took it upon himself to be at the forge early so that he could fire it up and have a head start on his projects early and so when his siblings or anyone else for that matter got there the forge would be hot and ready to go. He grabbed his jacket and stepped outside into the chilly morning air.

He walked across the large field that separated the cabins from the forge and he began the rather slow process of getting the forge hot and ready. After about an hour he stood at his station his tool-belt wrapped around his waste buckled tightly. It was a gift from his father the belt would give him any tool he needed as needed. As he pounded away the metal he was shaping into a small dagger for a friend of his in Athena cabin he reached in and grabbed a hunk of metal to add to the sword. Finally around 8 am Joe had finished the blade portion of the sword and saw the rest of his cabin heading towards the breakfast pavilion.

Joe put the sword in a safe that was secured with an eye lock, a hand-print lock, and finally a voice lock. This made it so that no children of hermes could break in and steal what he was working on. He washed his hands quickly in the sink and ran toward the pavilion where he ran into Chiron. "oh hey chiron sorry I'm late I was just working in the forge" he said. The Centaur nodded "joe I actually was hoping you could do me a favor" He said

"of course anything Chiron" Joe said. "Well I need you to sit with Alex at the Hades table for breakfast today and get her outfitted with a weapon, we have capture the flag tonight its ares cabin and Hephaestus cabin for team captains tonight so I thought she could fight with you guys." he said

Joe nodded I can do that no problem Chiron" joe said as he walked to the table and grabbed a plate filling it up and finally burned part of it for his father. He then walked over to Alex and sat down across from her " hi there alex" he said with a smile.
