The Gathering

Prologue

Hello, my name is Vande Wisro, and I am a son of Athena.

200 years ago the gods started a civil war. I wasn't alive for it, so I don't know what it was about, just that it was a bitter war. Each god took seperate sides. Siblings against siblings, parents against children. Along with the gods, their children were forced to also fight, and course most chose to fight for their parents. Relationships were splintered beyond repair and rivalries were made. Because of this, Camp Half Blood was disbanded. Chiron disappeared and no cabin was able to mediate the others, even resulting in the death of the Oracle, Rachel Dare, so there was to be no more quests declared by the gods. Each cabin took off in every direction and distanced themselves from all others, cutting themselves off from all but the hunters of Artemis who, like their mistress, took no part in the war.

What took a greater blow, though, was that of the mortal world. They believed this was the Apocolypse and that God was raining down heavenly fire from above to kill all the sinners and nonbelievers. As the war was mostly centered in America, all mortals left it in the dust, heading every which way about the Earth. Only us demigods were left to keep the gods home in tact, however we could. About 13 years ago Hades was desperate to turn the tides of the war and so he created a soldier that could replenish its troops as they killed their enemies... Zombies. 

50 more years had gone by in the war and the gods had fought themselves dry. Their essences were all but gone so they went into hiding, and left their children to pick up the pieces. When this happened, Dionysus' children tried to reunite us, but as Dionysus was always fighting against Hephaestus, his children didnt recieve this news well and squashed them before they could even get going, and now were all scared to try and reunite all demigods, as grouping us all together with so much inbered hate would be almost certainly fatal. With Hades gone, no one knew how to stop the zombies and their numbers grew... And grew... And grew. We try our best, but it often isnt enough. It's been ten years since anyone has heard from the gods or seen their influence. Our numbers are small, and they are only getting smaller, but it's up to those left to fix this problem whether we like it or not.
