First off, the characters in here are made and owned by Rick Riordan. I did not make them unless they are childhood friends of Silena or Charles, or their family. In that case, they are characters that I have made up for the sake of the story. This is a Charlena AU here they are not children of the gods, the respective parents that were in Rick Riordans story, Aphrodite and Hephaestus both are deadbeats and left their families, but never met each-other. Charisse and Chris are included, because I just love Clarisse's and Silena's friendship so much, I had to. This AU is set in the Village Silena and her Father lives in. She still helps out in the shop, she was never a daughter of Aphrodite. She is just like she is in the books except her powers though. Charles Beckendorf moves there Junior year in high school, after his mom wants to open a shop in a small town, quaint and quiet town. He is just like he is in the books too, except with those extra powers he get from Hephaestus. They both meet in high school, and become best friends. They both have struggles of their own, and struggles their families have to face. But what happens if there are mortals in here only? No gods and goddesses to screw with their life.
