-Third POV-

Everything started on that one fateful day.

Dade woke up on a chair. They looked around confused. Just a second ago they were in a wonderful library. It was all old Latin and Ancient Greek stories. 'Wait, Ancient Greek?' Not only that, but they could understand it?! 'Anyways, back to the task on hand.' They looked around, taking in their surroundings. 'Ah. Now I remember.' They were in detention. Something about calling the principal a "Trash bag full of soot." Next to them, also dozing off was their best friend, James. He is the sweetest kid in the grade. Also, he was held back two years. "Hey James." Dade said while shaking him awake. "Hmm? What." He sleepily asked, yawning. "Mr. Carson's back, and he's motioning to you" Mr. Carson is their history teacher, but he mostly teaches myths, like stuff about Hercules and The Hydra. James shook awake, suddenly alert. As soon as he spotted Mr. Carson, he was off. Dade sighed and started packing their bag to head home.

-Dades POV-

Take notice, I'm an orphan and live in a foster home. There is a mom, dad, and another boy. But the mother is pregnant. Her name is Sally Jackson, the dad, Paul Blofis and the boys name is Percy. Percy is the worst. Every time his friends are over and they see me they cringe and and look away. There's even this one kid who was there for his 15th birthday who had the same eyes as me, but I never got his name. We looked about that same age. It's been about two years since that day though. Percy is 17. And I'm 13.

Sally came up to me when I got home and said "Hey sweetie!" Well shoot. "Tomorrow, we're going to drop Percy off at his camp. And then~" oh gosh. She's taking me on vacation. "We're going to a beach cabin!" WHY?? Hades take me now. "Ok! I'll go pack!" I have to keep a happy facade on. Sad Sally Jackson is not something you want to experience.

~The next day~

We were driving along Long Island Sound highway. I was looking at the trees lining the edges when we suddenly stop. In front of us is the largest lion I've ever seen. Then I realized it had... a human face? And a scorpion tail? I looked at Sally and Paul and they looked pale. But when I looked at Percy he looked determined? He hopped out of the car and uncapped his pen that he carries around every where. It flashed and turned to a sword?! The lion-thing growled and said "Ha! Perseus Jackson! I'm not here for you. I'm here for her!" It's stinger pointed straight at me. "MY SIBLING IS NOT A GIRL OR ONE OF US!! ANNABETH" Suddenly a girl with blond hair came running down the hill behind us. Then I fainted, not before thinking 'huh. Percy corrected my pronouns.'

I woke up in what looked like a Hogwarts infirmary but outdoors. "Thank the gods your awake!" I looked over and there was... James. But not. He looked normal above the waist. But below the waist, he was a goat. 'Welp. My only best friend is a faun. I am a failure.' I sighed and said "ok so your a faun. Percy had a sword. There is a manticore. What else?" I drawled out. "Uhh, you're a demigod?" He said nervously. "Oh, of who?" He looked surprised. "We don't know yet, but you'll probably know by dinner." Well then. This is great. I'm half god. This is the best news I've had all day.

One thing I didn't know. Percy is a celebrity. Apparently saved the world. This is the worst news I've had all day. But hey, it's dinner time now. I get to know which gods offspring I am. Yay. After finished my food I just sat. I don't have any "demigod disorders" do I can stay still for hours at a time. Like I'm dead. So that's what I did. By the time I had registered everyone's eyes on me, there was a red glow over my head. Cerberus. Well. Pluto. That's fun. There was only one person at that table. It was that kid with the eyes. Great.
