Selene Cabin
Selene's Cabin (#21) is the cabin at Camp Half-Blood that houses the demigod offspring of Selene, the Titan Goddess of the Moon, the night, radiance, months, and insanity. In the past, Selene's cabin used to be the Artemis Cabin until Selene faded, allowing her successor, Artemis, to take over her cabin. Later, there was a shrine  made for her at Camp Half-Blood  which was created by her last Demi-Titan child, Cole Harper, as a tribute to Selene.

History:
Many years ago, when Camp Half-Blood was first created, two Titans were welcome to have a cabin of their own for their Demi-Titan offspring before a few of the Olympians. They were Helios and Selene, Helios being the Titan of the Sun, and Selene being the Titan of the Moon. Before Artemis and Apollo, the twin archers, the two titans owned their cabins. Selene having Artemis', and Helios having Apollo's.

For years, Helios and Selene had cabins of their own, but when the twins started getting worshiped less by the Romans, they faded, and after the rest of their children had died, Apollo, Helios' successor to drive the Sun Chariot, had taken over the Helios Cabin. And Artemis, Selene's successor to drive the Moon Chariot, had taken over the Selene Cabin. Although, the remaining daughters of Selene were said to have joined the Hunters of Artemis and so were able to keep their cabin and bunk until they either fell in battle, or left the Hunters.

It was only later, that a new cabin for Selene was made by her last Demi-Titan daughter, Colette Harper, who Selene had created with the last of her lunar abilities for the Sun God Apollo who wanted a child for one of his lover's, Laurel, who couldn't have children of her own.

Description:
The cabin itself is made out of moonstone that’s enchanted to shine brightly at night, collecting moonlight, and saving it for when the sun comes up so then the cabin can still shine a silver light upon the camp even during the daytime.

On the outside along the white moonstone, there are vines intertwined with the temple’s pillars as they spread to the roof where a carving of a moon crescent is located. When going up to Selene’s cabin, there is a golden door with a rooster carved into it (one of Selene's sacred animals), but at first glance, it looks to be a peacock as stated by Percy Jackson when first looking at the newly built cabin. It was noted to have angered Hera when she had first discovered the temple for Selene and saw the door as the peacock is one of her sacred animals.

At night, the gold door with the rooster carved into it turns to silver and shines brightly with the moonlight that is being produced from the moonstone. As you come up two silver stairs leading to Selene’s cabin, there are two golden planters, that like the door, turn silver at night. In the planters there are Datura, also known as Moonflowers, and Moonlace, a native plant of Ogygia. The Moonflowers are described to be silky white night-opening blooms.

As for the Moonlace flowers, they are known to be bioluminescent that glow the color of silver and bloom during the night like Moonflowers. Moonlace flowers can also be blue in color.

On the inside of the temple there are moonstone floors with golden pillars supporting the inside of Selene’s cabin. Like everything else gold on the outside of the cabin that turns silver at night, so does all the other gold objects on the inside.

In the center of the cabin there is a place for a fire which never stops burning like the fire in Hera’s cabin. Like the door, Hera was upset that Selene’s cabin was similar to her own, but Cole had convinced the goddess to keep the fireplace as she said she might need a little source of light when night came around, and didn’t want to use actual lights because of how it would ruin the “vibe” of the “temple feeling”.

In the daytime, the flames in the fireplace are of a normal red, orange, and yellow color, while at night they turn a bright Azure blue. On a full moon, the flames turn silver and make the cabin just a little bit brighter than it usually is. Sometimes it makes Cole feel like as if Selene’s temple were the moon itself because of how silver and bright it had gotten.

On all sides when walking into the cabin, there are golden statues of roosters all along the halls. When coming in to see Selene’s temple, Percy Jackson had judged the roosters and asked why they were put as decoration for the cabin’s inteior. It was later explained by Annabeth that the rooster was one of Selene’s sacred animals.

Once you walk through the hall of Selene’s cabin and go up to the fireplace, behind it is a statue of Selene holding up a torch that is producing actual white moonlight instead of flames in one hand and a moon in the other. Both a torch and the moon were said to be two of Selene’s symbols as stated by Cole.

In a small area where Cole sleeps, there is a medium-sized rooster statue closing in on the entrance because before Cole had moved in the statue used to be in her living space. Cole had gotten the idea from Thalia Grace who had her own small corner in her father’s cabin where she used to sleep when she came back to camp.

Cole had gotten advice from Thalia not to put her sleeping area anywhere in front of Selene’s statue where it looks like the moon goddess is staring at the inhabitant of her cabin. It was stated by Thalia that her first night sleeping in Zeus’ cabin, she had set up her sleeping bag right in front of Zeus’ statue and couldn’t sleep most of the first night as she was forced to move out of the eyesight of her father so that she could somewhat start sleeping. It almost looked like he was staring at her.

Where Cole sleeps, there is a dark blue sleeping bag and two pillows. Right behind it is a small wooden box that once belonged to her mother, it supports a small light that stands on top of it, while inside the box there is Michael Yew’s journal of Haikus, Annabeth’s dagger that Cole found in the Underworld, which was later given to her by Annabeth when trying to return it to her.

Another thing she had was the sketch book Apollo had given her as a child, along with her Healing Poetry Book that was also gifted to her by her father later on once she got to Camp Half-Blood. Right on top of her Poetry book is a Fate Pen given to Cole by Hades. At the bottom of the box there is a small Mythomagic figurine of Hades that Bianca had given to Percy to give to Nico before she died. Percy later gave it to Nico who later on gave it to his youngest sister Cole.

At the bottom of the box there is a dagger given to Cole from Hecate as she is her legacy, along with two keys: one for the house Cole and her mother lived in while they were in Los Angeles, and the other one being the key to their apartment when they lived in Venice, Italy.

On the walls of where Cole had set up her living space, there are pictures, and the largest one up there was made by Cole’s younger paternal half-sister Georgina who had drawn it for her in The Trials of Apollo. The drawings consists of Cole’s foster parents Hemithea and Jo, who were once Hunters of Artemis, like Cole herself. Other people in the drawing were Georgina, Leo Valdez, Cole’s older foster brother, Apollo in his mortal form, and Lityerses, a Son of Demeter and King Midas. This drawing is pinned to the wall by two red and blue thumb tacks.

Other pictures on the wall behind where Cole sleeps is a picture of the whole Apollo Cabin which was taken when both Sons of Apollo Lee Fletcher and Michael Yew were alive, allowing them to be in the picture before their later deaths.

On the other side of Georgina’s picture that she made for her sister, was a photo of Cole, Apollo, and her mother at an Ice Skating rink in Italy where Cole had first learned how to skate with her parents. She had recovered this at her old apartment in Washington when she went with her brother Anubis/Walt Stone, Sadie Kane, Carter Kane, and a few other Demigods from Camp Half-Blood.

The last pictures Cole has on her wall are of her and Yan, Cole’s other half-sister, that they had taken in a photo booth when on a mission together.

Claiming:
It's been a while since Selene has claimed her Demi-Titan children since she is now faded and only has one mortal offspring left. But back when she did have more then just one Demi-Titan child she would claim them by sending a white torch with a ghostly flame that illuminated with white and light blue moonlight, bathing them in her power as she gave all of her children her blessing when they are claimed.

Cabin Trivia:

 * 1) Selene was the first Titaness to have a cabin at Camp Half-Blood, while her twin brother Helios was the first Titan to have his own cabin.
 * 2) Before Artemis, Cabin 8 belonged to Selene, while before Apollo, Cabin 7 belonged to Helios.
 * 3) After Selene had faded and her children started dying out, Artemis took over her cabin for the Hunters of Artemis so that they had some place to live when coming to Camp Half-Blood.
 * 4) Most of Selene's daughters became Hunters either before Selene had faded, or after. The only known daughters of Selene who had decided to become Hunters of Artemis are Thea "Arche", and her youngest sister Cole Harper.
 * 5) Many male children of Selene were known to have fought on the side of the children of Zeus/Jupiter and Poseidon/Neptune in World War II. Their comrades were those of the Ares, Apollo, Hermes, and Athena Cabins
 * 6) Since children of Selene had existed even after their mother had faded, it is unknown if the moon goddess had blessed mortals with her children through her power when she was in Chaos like she did with Laurel di Angelo, Cole's mother.
 * 7) Selene's new cabin is ranked to have the lowest inhabitants next to the Hera Cabin, Dionysus' Cabin, the Hades Cabin, and a few cabins belonging to the minor Gods and Goddesses.
 * 8) Cole had put a magical protection barrier around Selene’s Cabin with the help of her ancestor Hecate so that only children and descendants of Selene are able to access the cabin. It was said that it is possible for other campers to come through the barrier and into the cabin as long as they get Cole’s permission. It is also shown that Hunters of Artemis, and Artemis herself can enter this cabin, maybe due to the fact that Artemis is Colette’s blessed godly parent through Apollo and successor of Selene.
 * 9) Since Selene is the Goddess of Night and the Moon, she has control over both light and darkness. And so, like Selene, her children have the same ability. Because Nyx is the original goddess of night, Selene can control darkness to a lesser extent then Nyx and her children can. Although Selene and her own offspring have a more powerful control over darkness then the children of Hades and Hecate.
 * 10) Children of Selene are known to be very quiet and only talk when needed. They usually like listening in on the conversations of others and gather important information for their camp, themselves, and their cabin.
 * 11) Since Selene is a Titaness more then she is a Goddess her children aren't true Demigods and are most likely Demi-Titans.

Selene Cabin Members Powers and Abilites:

 * 1) Children of Selene can use the rays of the moon to enhance their power.
 * 2) Children of Selene are able to Shadow Travel as well as “moon travel” which is similar to shadow traveling. In order for moon traveling to work, however, moonlight must shine at the place they wish to go to. This form is impossible when it is a new moon.
 * 3) Children of Selene can create miniature moons that can blind enemies for a short time.
 * 4) Children of Selene have control over water and tides as the moon is responsible  for moving the ocean waters at night. Another ability that they are able to master is the bending of all liquids including blood and poison. They are known to rival the children of Poseidon with their ability to bend water and are equals to the children of the sea god.
 * 5) Children of Selene have divine authority over darkness and can stop people, like the children of Hades/Pluto, from shadow traveling.
 * 6) Children of Selene can mimic the moon’s gravity in battle so that they are able to be weightless for a time.
 * 7) Children of Selene can induct insanity on others and can control it however they like. They can only use this power at night and cast insanity over others with the light of the moon.
 * 8) Children of Selene can use darkness or moonlight to heal themselves as well as others.
 * 9) Children of Selene are able to see clearly at night as well as in daylight, and are able to see both the moon and the stars even in daytime.
 * 10) Children of Selene are innately powerful in darkness and shadows.
 * 11) Children of Selene love and are more active at night.
 * 12) The hunters of Artemis and children of Selene, in regards to divine authority over the moon and its light, have very similar powers to one another and often, friendships or rivalries are forged between them. The main topic between the Hunters and Selene’s children is which of their mothers should be the ruler of the moon. However, the Demi-Titans power over the moon outweighs that of the Hunters of Artemis due to the fact they have little divine power over the moon since they are adopted children of Artemis.
 * 13) Some Children of Selene are able to see the past by having visions or touching things, much like some children of the Apollo who can see the future and  the past. This is because their mother has a limited control of time and so her children have the power to see the events that happen in time.
 * 14) Children of Selene are masters at lunar-based attacks and combats, rivaling that of the Hunters.
 * 15) Some children of Selene have the power to shed their flesh and become nothing but raw moonlight. In this state, they cannot be attacked by anything lower than a god, their lunar-based powers are twice as strong, and their endurance and physical strength is increased. After an hour’s time, this form will wear off and the child of Selene will be too stunned to move or will be unconscious. Despite this form’s great power, children of Selene can only activate this ability at night. Due to there never being any actual demigod children of Selene except for Cole Harper this power has been lost for many years and even Cole cannot use it.
 * 16) Some children of Selene can rewind time.
 * 17) Children of Selene are respected by Artemis given that they are her predecessor’s offspring and are allowed to visit Artemis’ cabin as long as they are respectful. Sometimes she will offer to train them with their lunar-based abilities, and if there were more children of Selene then she would select a few to join the hunt if that is what they wished as noted by Artemis when talking to Cole about her powers she had inherited from Selene.
 * 18) Children of Selene can retract fangs and suck blood because Selene was mother to all vampires. They also have different Vampire based abilities depending on the Demi-Titan.
 * 19) Children of Selene are able to slow down time for a short period of time, as well as freeze something or someone. Stronger children of Selene are able to slow down and freeze time for a longer period of time but it drains them and so if they are stronger than their siblings when using this power, they don’t use it to the extremes.
 * 20) Children of Selene are able to fire rays of silvery moonlight from their eyes. The functions identical to how heat vision works.
 * 21) Children of Selene can hypothetically breathe on the moon through its very thin atmosphere.
