Tori loved her life, even if it meant getting into to situations where she almost gets killed. When she was little, the only family she had was her mom, Marrisa Payne, and her older brother, Chris, and she loved them. She never met her father, but when she asked, her mom would always tell her and Chris that he was a very important, strong, and handsome man. They only spent 8 years with their mother before she died of Leukemia. Before she died, Marrisa told Chris and Tori the truth. She told them all about the monsters that would look for them after she told them this, about their father, and how he was a Greek god, and that they were both demigods, half mortal, half god, and how she was a demigod too, a daughter of Demeter. After that, she told Tori and Chris that she loved them and to run, run as fast as they could, and that help would find them soon. And she was right, because the day after they started to run, a satyr named Grover Underwood, along with another demigod Tori's age, Luke Castellan, found them. He brought them to Camp Half-Blood, but as Chris was fighting off the last of the monsters, he sacrificed himself to save Tori, Luke, and Grover. Tori lost consciousness after all that had happened that day. And at dinner the next night, after she recovered, she was claimed.
This is the story of Tori Payne, daughter of Hades.
Ashe Argentum, the now 13 year old daughter of Hades, has never been better. She's no longer in abusive foster care, she survived her quest to retrieve the lightning bolt, her father claimed her (except she's not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet), and despite the withering and fearful looks that the campers give her, she is thriving at Camp Half-Blood. However, her peace is quickly disrupted when an incident occurs while her best friend Percy Jackson is attending mortal school. Now, Ashe is on her second quest, trying to retrieve the Golden Fleece. However, Ashe is still a bit new to this demigod thing, and she hasn't quite gotten her powers under control.
And even with all that going on, she's still got a lot on her plate. Her mom, for one, and of course, her dad. She discovers another camp full of godlings that aren't exactly half-bloods, and she goes through a
Very.
