Wanna know what I love? Greek mythology. Or any mythology in general. It’s so interesting! And I certainly wasn’t expecting it to be true. I mean I read Percy Jackson when I was little… It took me 5 years to read every book related to camp halfblood, because I am Deslexic though, thankfully not too bad like I said I like to read, yet I typically use audio books. Now what you might find interesting is that I also have ADHD. I physically cannot sit right in a chair… I will sit still for short periods but I’m pretty antsy and when I’m listening to music to where I’ll run around the apartment since we’re not rich enough to own a house. At all. Yet what I love, is that I’m… well was, homeschooled so I never got kicked outta school like Percy did, every year, except for his last school he went to where Paul worked. So I liked to think it was real, and that I was a god’s child and one of my parents was my step parent.

Well… then I had to get a blood test done and learned they’re both my blood parents when I was 10 so I kinda gave up on the idea of having a godly parent. But wanna know the crazy thing? Both of my parents are demi gods… My mom a child of Apollo and my Dad a child of Iris. So I have two god’s blood in me and powers… The way I found out was on my 14th birthday. Both of my parent’s godly parents came to my birthday party and Apollo got so excited for my birthday that he caused a power outage within a full 60 mile radius of our house. And then Iris had to fix it by turning the power back. I was shocked. Cause… I’d found out the gods were real. But they didn’t tell me they, my parents, were demi gods because they didn’t think I was a legacy because yes I do have Dyslexia and ADHD but, I didn’t show any signs of powers. Which plot twist! I do!

Yep… We figured it out on that day of my 12th birthday because when I figured out gods were real and all that… I accidentally may or may not have also… caused a power outage. That lasted 3 minutes in our building. Not as large but still… I caused it. And also… apparently what we through we hazel eyes were actually rainbow color changing eyes that changed with my mood. But it was too dim to tell the bright colors of the rainbow so my parents assumed I had Hazel eyes. I didn’t. And just in case they had a togo bag packed and we drove right to Camp Half-blood as thats the camp my parents went to, not camp Jupiter. Which was quite the journey since we lived in the state of Iwao.

Anyway, We were about 4 hours still away from camp half-blood and I was sitting in the back of the car. My parents were in the front seats, my mom driving and my dad in control of the playlist, using old CD’s. I had a bag of Takies, party size, in my lap and was looking out the window since I couldn’t bring my phone for obvious reasons. I was a bit scared though… like; what if we ran into a monster? Like Percy did? But I also had a lot of questions. Was Percy real or someone made up and it just so happened to be true? Did he write it as a biography? If he was real, how old is he now? Is he still alive if he was real? But also a lot more. I was really intrigued. I felt the need to know. But I couldn’t just yet.

“Dad… how much longer now?” I asked.

“According to the map…” which was an old paper map, “… we’ve got about maybe 3 hours and 50-some minutes left. You asked 11 minutes ago Archie. Are you getting antsy?” My dad asked in return.
