I wake up in my bed to the sound of doves cooing outside my window, signaling that Aphrodite was at my door.

*Knock knock

"My love? Are you decent?" She said, in her usual sensual, calming and feminine voice

"Yes, Auntie."

She had been such an impressive role model, raising me when Hera was to busy, and when Zeus had buisness to attend to, almost taking me in.

"Oh goodmorning, gorgeous! Are you ready for today?" She said after sitting next to me in my bed, referring to my ceremony today, where I would be cast upon the mortal and halfblood world, and given a physical body.

"I think so. I'm just a little nervous still." I say, my ainxiety resurfacing

"Oh darling, don't be worried. You're going to do such great things down there." She said, pulling me into a hug, her scent sweet and floral

"Thank you, 'Dite." I say, hugging her back

"Besides, you're supposed to meet your true love in this battle! You can thank Eros for that one." She said, pulling apart and smiling at me

"Yeah, yeah I know. I'm still just a little nervous." I say, rubbing the back of my neck

*Nock nock

"Ladies, Zeus wants to see Kleio" Hermes said, before we heard him zoom away

"Oh shoot, I have to get dressed still."

"Here, let me." Aphrodite said, as a mist sureounded me, clothing me in a ceremonial toga, laced with gold, white and amber, my sacred colors, as well as some golden dust.

"Thank you, 'Dite. Now we should probably go." I say, looking at the sun outside my window, slso waving back at helios who was dragging it across the sky, with his majestic chariot.

"Alright, cutie. Just remember babes they you have nothing to worry about. The halfblood greeks have been worshiping you for centuries now, especially this camp you'll be attending. They have statues of you, carvings, paintings, and poems written about you at every turn. You can always contact us, just use aunty Iris's messages. Oh and the place you arrive is different for everyone, so just dont panic. Got it, lovebug?" She says, as we both enter the hallway, leading to the great hall, where we would be preforming the ceremony.

'I just dont think anyone gets what i'm nervous about. I'm about to be transformed from a GODDESS into a HALFBLOOD in seconds. It's probably gonna hurt like Hades. OHMYGOD WHAT IF MY CLOTHES DONT TRANSFER WITH ME??! WHAT WOULD I DO?!' I think, starting to spiral

"Haha, there's my girl! You ready Kleio?" My father said, as we walked into the room

"Ready as i'll ever be!" I say, forcing a smile

"Oh dear dont be nervous! Everyone here, your aunties, uncles, mom and dad, siblings, we're all going to be here the whole time, cheering you on, my love. We promise." My mother said, standing up to give me a hug, noticing my nerves through her maternal instinct
