Greetings, new demigod:
If you are reading this letter than you have doubtless been claimed as a half mortal and half god hero, more widely known as demigods. If by some unprecedented reason you have gotten this letter and you are a moral, I suggest you put this letter down right now, or the consequences will be terrible, including have giant monsters including dracaenae, empousa, and other monsters to terrible to name as of now.
Please find an enclosed a short introductory guide to being an adolescent hero, which you must memorize, and then eat to prevent security leaks. (Due to an unfortunate fatality last week, it is now requested that you cut the papers into small pieces before eating.
Camp half blood starts during June 27, when I hope that you will arrive with your satyr, and hopefully without any monsters chasing behind your back, and when I trust we will have the pleasure of seeing who your godly parent is. Please remember to bring your satyr, alive, to the Big House. It is very distressing when we have unaccounted for fatalities.
Yours truly,
ChironSO YOU WANT TO BE A DEMIGOD?

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat happens if a god gets angry with me?
In this case, the best you can hope to do, is to get on his/her good side again. If not, I strongly suggest that you write your Will and Testament quickly, for a god or goddess will surely kill you very soon. Cases of death and torture include:
Being impaled by a giant boar
Being killed by some cunning and devious plan
Being shot between the eyes
Being burned in a vat of boiling oil for the rest of eternity
Being forced to run through giant cactuses
Generally being killed in any way possible
Getting stabbed in the heart if they are in a hurry or are unimaginative
The only person who has offended a god and has gotten away with it without being hurt, was Percy Jackson. You may ask him for details.
Could I die?
Well, of course you could! What kind of demigod would you be if you couldn't get killed by any of the ways listed above
What is the salary like?
There is no salary. Consider living your salary. There are no raises, unless a god or goddess favors you and asks you to become immortal.
What happens if I am not determined by a god or goddess yet?
You will have to stay in the Hermes cabin and suffer from terrible pranks until you are determined. Oh, and make sure you always know where your valuables are.
What should I do if Kronos is slowly put back together piece by piece by a young boy named Luke?
This circumstance is so unlikely that there is no point devising a protocol to deal with it.
Will I get to visit Olympus?
If you stay year-round, yes, you will be able to see the Winter Solstice council meeting
When is it certain that I will be determined by?
By age 13
When will I get a quest?
Quests are completely overrated, and you should hope that you never get one. Ask Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, or Grover Underwood, for details.
Health and Safety:
Being a demigod is a naturally a dangerous job. Camp half blood accepts no liability for pain/suffering/torture/impalement/loss of limbs/grievous bodily harm/disintegration/insanity/imprisonment/loss of soul/death which you may experience.
However, in order to protect half-blood's, we have designed these safety rules for both during leisure times and missions.
Do not try to destroy the Titan Lord yourself. Leave it to Percy, who has much more experience.
Employ masterly deceit to make sure that no one knows of your existence as a half-blood. However, if they do think you are a half-blood, simply say, "what is that?"
If this does not convince them, contact Mr. D immediately
Keep your weapon on you at all times.
Do not use cell phones unless under serious circumstances
Yours truly,
Chiron
