One day on February 12, 2001, in Philadelphia, PA...

"Sunny come get your breakfast!" My stepmom said while the smell of eggs, bacon and pancakes was in the air.

"Okay mom give me a second," I get out of bed and look at myself in the mirror admiring how today marks my 8th birthday and I feel like I'm a year older now. "Alright mom what's for breakfast."

"Well because it's your birthday I decided to make a little bit of everything and later I have a surprise for you!" My stepmom said while grinning and passing me a plate of the breakfast.

"What is it? Is it a new toy? A doll? A trip to Disney?" I asked so ecstatically.

"Well, that's for you to find out now come on you know you have school to get to," My stepmom then quickly packed my lunch while i ate my breakfast quickly.

"Bye Mom see you later!" I say while running out the door excitedly to get to the bus stop.

While walking to my stop I see a man in a trench coat walking behind me, but I don't let it bother me and I continue walking. I see my friends reach the bus stop too and I ran straight at them.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNNY!" They said to me while holding out a cupcake with a candle with the number 8 on it.

"Thanks guys now let's hurry and get on the bus before it ditches us," I say while grabbing the cupcake and blowing out the candle and taking it out to throw out but hovering over the garbage can is that same man who seems to be waiting for something or someone. I threw out the candle and headed to my bus.

Once the bus starts moving, I look out the window and suddenly the man was out of sight. Even though it was a bit strange it was my birthday, so I continued talking to my friends until we got to school. Once we reached school, I get an eerie feeling and suddenly i started to see and feel people's emotions and driving force to get through the day or their driving inspiration to achieve something. I see their wills as different colors and hear their driving force all around me. Suddenly the voices disappeared, and my vision turned back to normal after blinking.

After a few hours of classes, which with my dyslexia and ADHD was difficult, we finally made it to lunch where that man appeared again.

"Hey do you see that guy I swear he was following us earlier when we were walking to the bus stop?" I asked my friends who looked at me funny.

"Uh Sunny are you feeling okay that's the new principal Mr. Gomez?" One of my friends told me while her concern was showing on her face.

"Yeah, um I must have forgotten..." I looked at the man who is apparently the new principal and I focus on him, and I see he has one giant eye instead of 2 and then I saw a blood red spirit around him which I then heard the will start whispering these words

"Kill the girl... Kill the girl... Now... Kill her..."

I blink and suddenly the voice stops, and Mr. Gomez looks normal. I must have been too tired or too excited because it's my birthday and there's no way that Mr. Gomez would want to kill me...

"Earth to Sunny are you in there???" My friends asked while one of them was waving their hand in my face.

"Huh yeah I am ahahaha..." I laughed nervously because what I just saw and heard was very weird and felt so real there is no way I could have imagined that.

I got through the rest of the day when suddenly at the end of the day before dismissal I get called to the office.

SUNNY LANCASTER TO THE MAIN OFFICE

"OOOOOOOOOHHH" All my classmates said, and they all turned their heads as I walked out. As I walked to the office, I kept looking around me and kept hearing the force that drove people with voices bombarding me at the same time from all sides. I entered the office and spoke to the desk lady.

"Hi I'm Sunny I was called to the office?" I asked while hearing the voices again. Then they stopped as soon as Mr. Gomez walked into the main office.

"Come with me..." Mr. Gomez then vanished and appeared down the hall somehow. I followed him until I finally see him enter the basement which was off limits to students.

"Um Mr. Gomez I'm not allowed down here..."

"Die Child of the Gods!" Suddenly Mr. Gomez shifted into a cyclops with one huge eye and a giant spiked gold club.

Out of instinct I reached out and tried to pull the gold club from "Mr. Gomez" which I held on, but I didn't feel his grip weaken. I kept getting madder and frustrated at how weak I am and how if I just was a little older or stronger I could grab his weapon. Then I felt my raw power start elevating at a rapid pace and then I suddenly snatched the club from his hand and struck him with it directly on the head and watched as his body turned into a gold dust.

"Ms. Lancaster you know students aren't allowed in the basement," My teacher said to me while writing me up. "And why are you holding a baseball bat outside of gym hours?" I looked down and I saw the gold club shift between a club and a bat.

"Um I don't remember actually... what happened to Mr. Gomez?" I asked him.

"Who is Mr. Gomez? We've never had such a teacher at this school." My teacher told me with a puzzling look on his face at why I just asked for a random person.

"Isn't he the new principal?" I asked him while examining the "baseball bat" in my hand.

"No, we have the same principal as always." My teacher said before shaking his head. "You can keep the bat since you seem like you want to learn baseball if you really had to take it after gym hours."

"Okay I guess I'll take it?" I said before I ran off to dismissal. As soon as i reached my bus i was already late to leave so I had to get picked up by my stepmom. When she arrived, I went in her car, and she also started shifting in my eyes and she appeared to look like she was a tree person.

"Uh Mom today was weird." I told my stepmom who in my eyes was flickering between how she usually looks and the tree person form.

She took a look at my new "bat", and she instantly sped home without minding the speed limit. "Honey, I know you may not understand at this point, but you are not the person you think you are."

We arrive home quickly due to her speeding, and she entered the house grabbed a bag and packed some of my stuff. She then threw me the bag and we both entered the car again and I saw in her GPS our location was 3.141 Farm Road, Montauk.

"Mom what do you mean and why is my stuff here." I asked her confused and suddenly i blinked and she was a full tree person.

"I am a Dryad a tree spirit to be simple, and I was sent by my mistress a goddess to protect and lead her only child to a camp for people like you so in short... you are half human and half god." She said while hurrying over to New York.

"Half God? Goddess???" I was confused beyond belief that the rest of the 2 hour car ride due to speeding was silent.

We made it to a hill with a single pine tree on top and she sent me beyond that tree with one instruction.

"Your real mother will claim you soon so please have patience."

I looked back and noticed a cake in the car and then I continued up the hill. I made it to a building where I met a half horse man named Chiron and was led to go to the Hermes Cabin.
