Cabins At Camp Half-Blood: Part 2

Let's look at a few more cabins, shall we?

Cabin 5, Ares

The god of war has had a lot of “interaction” with humans and has given rise to numerous offsprings. They are the occupants of Cabin 5. The building is badly painted with red and has a large boar’s head over the door (I wonder why they put it there), and barbed wire on the roof. It is rumoured that there are land mines surrounding the cabin, the location of which only the inmates know. Walk close to the cabin and you’ll definitely hear loud rock music blaring from inside.

Cabin 6, Athena

The cabin is dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy and is grey in colour with pure white curtains. There is an owl engraved on the door. There is a library and a workshop inside the building (well, they are nerds). The library is supposed to have thousands of books and scrolls whereas the workshop is apparently crammed with tables and workbenches. The living area is filled with 3D models of buildings, blueprints, war maps, and armour. The books written in the later part of the Percy Jackson series indicate that the cabin also had smartboards, and numerous other things usually found in classrooms. It’s a typical Brainiac’s workshop. Annabeth Chase is the current counsellor of the cabin, which houses a few kids of Athena.

Cabin 7, Apollo

The sun should probably shine the brightest on this cabin, which houses his children. The Apollo kids, who are expert archers, musicians and healers are the ones that stay in this solid gold building, which glows during the day. The interior has bunk beds along the walls with cots lined up in the centre as well to treat the wounded. Cedar beams hold the ceiling up, and the walls are bare plaster. Walk in, and the smell of cleanliness and sage would greet you. The only decorations are the flowerpots on the windowsills which are filled with plants from the island of Delos, and which bloom yellow. The plants grow in and around Cabin 7 but nowhere else in Camp Half-Blood. There is a bookshelf which houses reference materials which the healer kids use. The books are the property of Will Solace, the current counsellor of the cabin.

Cabin 8, Artemis

The building is made of silver, and has silver curtains, as this is dedicated to the Moon goddess, Artemis. This is where the hunters of Artemis stay, as she does not have any offspring of her own due to her vow of staying a maiden forever. The interiors have never been described in the books, perhaps because of the fact that most of the hunters are not mainstream characters, making it irrelevant to describe it, I guess.

Cabin 9, Hephaestus

This one looks almost like a factory, with the sound of hammering and tinkering heard loud if you walk close. The walls are made of brick. There are numerous forges within and smokestacks to remove all the smoke from burning. The kids have high tech murphy beds to sleep on, which they have built themselves. The interior walls are metal, with gems encrusted. Countless tools also line up the walls, along with power tools and weaponry. There are also workbenches which overflow with scrap metal, screws, nuts and bolts. The kids of the god of fire, metalworking, stone masonry, forges and the art of sculpture are the occupants of this cabin, whose counsellor is Leo Valdez, Bad Boy Supreme.
