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. He dipped the steel blade into cold water and looked at it and smiled. He was off to a strong start.
