Percy P.V.P.

A long, long time ago, a child was born. She wasn't like any other child though, she was a child of the primordial goddess Gaea. Gaea owned the earth and taught her daughter to use powers just like hers, and made her hate anyone under her. She never liked the rule, but she had to listen to her mother. All her life she worked on getting stronger and faster at using her abilities. One thing that was different from her mother. She could shoot anything with a bow. If you were her target your as good as dead. 

One day she was playing with flowers and the different pollen's that were floating in the air created a reaction that turned the child into a  half human baby. When Gaea found her child she decided that all hope was lost for the little baby. So she decided to leave her child in a small forest where a hunter could find her. She would have many problems even as a small child, Gaea just couldn't look at her daughter anymore. Before she could leave the child she put a note around the baby's neck. It read 'This child will encounter many dangers and hardships. She will suffer thanks to my weakness. She will be hunted thanks to my blood. I believe she will be protected by the best to keep her safe. For she is a treasure. One that many will come after. She will live many lifetimes. Just as the earth does. Be warned this child can cause severe harm to anyone or anything, but doesn't know the difference between real or fake.' 

For once Gaea thought about someone other than herself. She took one last look into the dark brown eyes that were flecked with green and grey. It almost seemed like there was a pattern in her eyes like there was an arrowhead stuck in a tree. Then Gaea turned and sunk back into the earth leaving her child alone in the forest she had laid her in. The small child closed her eyes and went into a blisful sleep that would keep her young until someone could find her.

Years after the goddess Artemis saw the child and looked into the extraordinary eyes of the small child. She knew she couldn't keep her, but she could hand her to a villager in town. When she saw the note she didn't know what to do. The child was a demigod. Although who's child it was, confused her. She had not heard of a new baby when talking with the other gods. Although Apollo did mention a prophecy he was worried about. Artemis gently picked the child up and secretly set it down on a family's doorstep. She left a tag around her neck saying one only a few words. 'Her name is Arrow.'

Eventually the parents got tired of taking care of the child and had her move out. She went on many adventures writing to her parents all the time. Until one adventure... her foot slipped on the side of a mountain and she fell all the way down to the bottom of the ravine below. No one has seen or herd from her since that one tragic day, but legends say that she still lives trying to find her protectors before she is robbed of her gift.

"There's no way that's true!" I told Annabeth as she closed the book. She shook her head.

"You don't know that. It could all be true," she replied calmly. I let the thought sink in Gaea caring for someone. All I could get my brain to agree on was a big fat whopping no way.

"Oh no I almost forgot. Annabeth we have to get to Mount Olympus. Come on!" Annabeth and I rushed over to the bus that was supposed to take the seven (Minus Leo), Nico, and Reyna down to Mount Olympus. Once the bus started we were nearly there.  The doors to the bus opened and everyone stepped out to see the doors of Olympus. The doors were the size of a normal sized god give or take ten to twenty feet. The doors opened before us revealing the amazing city of the gods.
