//PLEASE NOTE// This story will be taking a break since I'm busy and have lost inspiration but during the few months that I'm off, I will be back telling you the story of Raven and Percy better than I have been! Feel free to read the first 9 chapters but I'm just letting you know that I won't be updating it for a while! Thanks! //
