What happens when two freshly-new hired demigods who share the same cultural heritage get sent to a quest expected to uncover past conflicts, someone stealing something the experienced demigods don't know about, their names already being chosen before they were born, and trying to search for something that may not have existed.
Also they have a 'Child of Victory' tagging along cause the Oracle said the Child of Victory will . . . Well, you guessed it, bring them victory.
Follow how a quest goes when you're not a child of the goddess of Wisdom, the god of the seas, the King of gods, god of invention and fire, god of war, god of the underworld and riches and absolutely new to the demigod system.

"Everything alright, Auri?" I asked tentatively and glanced around the forest awkwardly. I could hear distant shouting, shrieking, clanging, thunder and other things in a war, but they sounded really far, further than usual.
Auri blinked, her brows were furrowed. "You... you were there, too, Ianna," her voice was barely above a whisper, and she sounded uncertain. I don't remember being present when she was claimed, maybe when I was asleep in the big house? I felt really uneasy. "I think I ought to ask you about this now that I'm feeling... better," she placed her fingers on her forehead before shaking her head. "I tried to avoid this but were you possessed?" She's s really straightforward, it surprised me.
"I'm sorry?" I raised a brow, and clutched on to my satchel. "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Auri, I don't think I follow. I was not there during your claiming nor was I possessed." I pointed at myself in disbelief and shook my head to add emphasis to my words.
Auri looked away and sighed, she looked a little guilty. "Sorry. I know people told me not to mention this but I guess curiosity got the best of me." She shrugged and continued trudging downhill.
