━━━━━━━ CASSIOPEIA RAN AWAY IN A FIT OF ANGER, you know when a kid says they are going to run away from home?
Usually they have a bag and can't go past the door, but Cassie knew she could disappear and nobody would go looking for her.
So she grabbed her hot pink hello kitty bag and left, Echidna and his boring ass son soon found Cassie, but lucky her, because Gleeson Hedge appeared. (An old satyr whose soulmate was a baseball bat).
She, the Castor, Pollux and Gleason Hedge went from Los Angeles to Camp Half-Blood in New York.
Cassiopeia wouldn't consider herself dramatic-scratch that, she was dramatic.
But, she wasn't an Apollo kid, she didn't have their clear eyes or blonde hair but she was as good as them (better) in archery- but she couldn't sing for the life of her, she quite literally sounded like a dying rooster.
But the sun god didn't seem to like Cassie, sun usually gave her rashes, miss directed arrows, swan's chased her around (she had to whack them with a book to get them to back of- she wasn't popular amongst the Athena kids).
And in a world of petty gods, when all that happened, you knew you weren't liked by a deity.
She met Annabeth Chase- Annie, depending on how pissed she was, at the beginning they weren't friends, Annabeth couldn't stand Cassie.
But Cassie was very persistent, she was determined to get the daughter of Athena to be her friend, and so she did.
Cassie maybe thought if she was a Hermes kid, she could run fast (specially when she was being chased by angry Ares kids for completely unknown reasons).
But she was clumsy as they came, she also couldn't steal for the life of her, it wasn't for lack of trying (the Stolls were good teachers but she was a horrible student).
Apart from having a long ass Greek related name she didn't know anything about her godly parent- except that he was a guy- having no dad and all.
That day, particularly hot day of summer, she sat in the deck with Annabeth telling her how she had got kicked out of another school and Anabeth sending her a hopeless look and a high five afterwards. (What could she say? Getting into trouble was her natural talent).
They day so far had started well, her forehead pimple had disappeared (which was such a boost), she had gone very very close to beating Luke, who never went easy on her and she had managed to win Ethan Nakamura in a round of cards.
Anabeth braided her hair "have you heard about the boy who killed the Minotaur?"
She lifted her face from watching the water "huh?" She nodded "Oh yeah, he arrived with Grover, didn't he?"
"...I think he is the one" she emphasised the one as if she were a freaky cult leader. Anabeth finished the braid, "let's go to find him, if I have my way this could be my chance"
