THE DAY ASSATA HAVEN was hauled brought into Camp Half-Blood was a day she'd never forget. The sight of her best friend, who she now realized wasn't entirely human after all, and the half-horse, half-man creature dragging her to this isolated wilderness was enough to ignite a fury in her heart. The very concept of the camp, the gods, and the absurdity of it all was enough to fuel a deep-rooted resentment. She found herself questioning why these so-called gods, who had never been a part of their children's lives, would suddenly thrust them into dangerous quests for their own amusement. For the first few days, Assata kept to herself, her hatred for everything around her barely concealed. To add insult to injury, she was claimed by Hades. The idea that her mother had somehow found the god of the underworld attractive enough to bear his child was something she found revolting. The demigods around her, with their undying loyalty for their divine parents, only fueled her disgust. Amid the sea of starry-eyed demigods, only one person seemed to understand her feelings: Luke Castellan. Unlike her, he was a master of disguise, presenting himself as the epitome of a devoted demigod, basking in the glory of his divine parent. This shared understanding led to a deep friendship between them, one that caused many raised eyebrows and hushed whispers around the camp. Their relationship shifted noticeably after the Winter Solace trip. They began to spend more time together, their meetings shrouded in secrecy. It was as if they were hiding something significant from the rest of the camp, which they were and Annabeth Chase noticed. Assata and Luke were conspiring with Kronos, and Assata had secretly stolen the bolt from Zeus's throne. They were plotting something that could potentially overthrow the gods themselves. However, everything changed with the arrival of Percy Jackson. The boy with the beachy golden curls and striking green eyes had a disconcerting effect on Assata, particularly when he was given the task to find the stolen bolt. The arrival of this new teen added an unexpected twist to Assata and Luke's carefully laid plans.
