Arthur:
You have successfully rested!
HP and MP have been restored to 100%!
"Urgh. Did anybody get the number on that bus?" I mumbled to myself.
I set myself up and dusted off the debris that now littered my small frame. Plaster, pieces of glass, and concrete where all over me.
"What the hell hap… oh."
Dismissing the screen away I got a view of what happened to the airport or at the very least what was left of the airport.
Debris and bodies were scattered all over the place, parts of the building looked like a tank crashed through them, and the stench of death hung in the air.
My thoughts went back to the message I'd received before I blacked out.
"This is one hell of a consequence."
!
Quest issued!
Quest type: Crossroad
You've woken up amongst debris and dead bodies, yet you have no idea what happened. Survive and escape by any means possible! If you're feeling a bit adventurous then try and figure out what happened.

Do you wish to accept?
[Yes/No]
I gulped and selected the yes button as fast as humanly possible. If this is what happens when I deny one crossroad quest, I really don't want to know what would happen if I denied a second one.
+1 to WIS and INT!
Ignoring the system mocking me I went over my options.
I could either find out what happened here and where my dad went or I could escape by any means possible. Which I'm guessing also applies to that necklace my dad gave me.
Reaching inside of my pocket I pulled out the silver omega necklace and debated on what to do with it.
It must be magical. After all, Richard had implied it would transport him somewhere when he chanted Ianuae Magicae, which his brain somewhat autocorrected into magic doors.
So basically I have an escape rope type of item if I needed to get out of here that would take me… somewhere.
He didn't quite say where it would take me.
Speaking of here.
"Sheesh, it looks like No Russian up in here."
Pulling myself to my feet I looked around at eerily silent area, the only sound coming from some small fires that were burning around at random.
'Alright let's try to remember what happened Arthur. You got a new skill that said someone was after your ass and a warning from the system, then you saw Richard summon a magic sword before everything exploded.'
I just shook my head, this was just wonderful.
Looking around I noticed a distinct lack of Richard. Where the hell did he go?
*Gurgle*
"What was that?"
There was a wet-growling sound coming from somewhere and whatever it was didn't exactly sound human.
*Gurgle*
Now actively looking for the sound I followed it to an overturned table.
I don't know what exactly I was expecting, but what I found certainly wasn't it.
"Grrrrrrrr."
On the ground was something that was definitely not human. Pure black eyes glared at me with pain and rage as two crimson red limbs with black talons thrashed towards me when it caught sight of me.
I would have taken off running if it hadn't been for the fact that it's lower body was cut off and was barely making any progress moving towards me.
"What the fuck are you?" I said in slight disgust and leaned in a bit closer to get a better look at it.
I don't think a monster like this was ever described in any of the books.

New skill created: Observe
Observe, Lvl (MAX): An ability that lets you see information on almost every object and being in existence.
The notification screen stayed for a second before popping out of existence, only for another screen to replace it.
Minor Imp, Lvl: 12
[HP] - 120/800
Bleeding Affect: -5 per minute
[MP] - 20/1000
A Demon from the depths of Hell that has been enslaved to serve? the heir of the devil house of ?. Like all demonic entities, they are weak to light and pure divine energy.
My eye started twitching rather violently. Besides the fact I had just gotten an ability that was far superior to just looking at words above people's heads, apparently, I was attacked by demons.
Fucking demons!
When I choose to be in the Greek pantheon I expected to be dealing with greek monsters. Not Christian demons or devil lords.
Because apparently there was a difference.
I dismissed the screen and looked back down at the bottomless Imp still trying to swipe at me.
I had two choices I could make. I could use that necklace to get the hell out of dodge or…
Scanning the ground now know what I was looking for I saw within the bodies of civilians scattered around that there were some demon corpses mixed in there. Most of them were dead, but a couple was still clinging to life in a very injured state.
Easy pickings for a level 1 looking to level up off things I shouldn't be able to fight. Sure I didn't have a weapon, but I had something far more effective up my sleeve.
A smirk came to my face as I met the eyes of the demon below me, "So I've heard you boys don't like the light."
One of my perks said I had an innate ability to use Photokinesis. Might as well give it a shot.
Percy always described a tight feeling in his gut when using water. So it probably should be something similar for me. Closing my eyes I did my best to try and find the power in my body.
Fortunately, it didn't take long. Right under my skin, I could feel a slight humming as if something was just bouncing about waiting to escape. I focused on that hum and tried to bring it to the surface.

New skill unlocked: Photokinesis
Photokinesis, Lvl (1): An ability that allows you to manipulate light.
- 60 MP per minute
- "Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do."
Nice.
Opening my palm silvery white light swirled around and formed into a small orb the size of a tennis ball.
"Now this was awesome. But now how to kill you with this without having to get near your ugly ass."
"RAAAAAAHHHHH."
Maybe I should try and take some inspiration from my heritage? My dad was the god of archery after all.
I imagined a basic arrow as best as I could and willed the ball of light into that shape.
!
New skill created: Light Arrow
Light Arrow, Lvl (1): A bolt of pure light shaped like an arrow.
-50 dmg per arrow / 50 mp per arrow
Well, that worked.
I summoned two more arrows into my hand and let them fly at the imps head.
The three bolts slammed into the demons head and immediately began the disintegrating the monster.
Critical hit because of elemental weakness!
It let out one last screech before it went limp and disintegrated into embers.

"Time to grind."
Leveled up!
Arthur Arc, Lvl:10
!
+10 to physical stats because of Demigod perk!
The last imp died with a violent screech and faded to embers, leaving me once again alone in the airport.
Swiping away the notification, I held up my right arm and flexed it slightly. I could actually feel the strength flow into my muscles from the stat increase.
Even if they still looked like the stick arms of a 12-year-old.
Those little bastards had indeed been a good source of XP. I had gone from level 1 to 10 within twenty minutes of when I started killing those things.
Thank god to who or whatever had crippled them. If they had all been at full health my ass would have been imp food considering it would take all my mana to even just kill one.
Now the question was why would demons do this? Last time I checked pantheons weren't just this brazen about killing humans even if a demigod was among them, but this…
My eyes trailed over all the bodies of men, women, and children who laid lifelessly on the ground.
This was a massacre.
It really hadn't hit me earlier on just how many dead people there were. And all for what? Me? Why would demons want to attack me? I wasn't even of their pantheon, I was a Greek!
Thinking back to the quest I was issued I looked farther down the terminal where Richard and I had come from. With no lights on it looked like the massive hallway led into a sea of darkness.
Almost like a dungeon.
If these Imps were here than what lied that way? Because as much as I wanted to explore and find out what happened, I also didn't want to die. Who knows what other types of demons had attacked the airport.
Really didn't feel like running into them or potentially that devil lord the Imp's bio talked about.
Of course, Richard was still missing, but I'd cross that bridge later. He could obviously take care of himself if he knew magic.
"Time to get the hell out of here before something dangerous finds me," I muttered pulling out the silver omega necklace.
"Smart boy."
I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sound of a deep voice coming from right behind me. Turing around my eyes almost popped out of my head at seeing who was behind me.
It was a relatively tall man that looked to be in his late 20's and was covered neck to toe in black plate.
But what really stood out was an almost unnaturally handsome face framed with dark blue hair and sulfuric yellow eyes that bored into mine.
Magdaran Vassago, Lvl:?
Title:?
Seeing the question marks above his head put me on edge since it probably meant he was way above my level.
Maybe an observe would work better?
!
Magdaran Vassago, Lvl:?
Title?
[HP] - ?
[MP] - ?
The devil heir of house Vassago. Magdaran was considered a prodigy among devils back in his youth and since has joined the ranks of some Hell's most elite fighters. Despite some of the older generations seeing it as a weakness, he loves his family immensely. Especially his younger siblings. He is currently interested in the son of Richard Winchester
When that was a bit...enlightening.
"I knew Richard had multiple children, but a demigod son? Now that's a surprise." Magdaran mused, "Even in death, that bastard is still finding ways to one-up me."
That got an eyebrow raise from me. Getting over the fact that this devil seemed to personally know Richard, it seems he had also died.
"Did you kill him?" I asked.
Magdaran gave me a sad smile which somewhat confused me.
"Indeed I did boy."
Huh. Well, that's somewhat of a shame. I didn't really know the man, but he seemed like an alright guy and before I blacked out he seemed willing to stay behind so I could escape.
That deserved some respect at the very least.
"And are you going to kill me?"
"No. I was only here to fight your father and what a fight I got." Magdaran chuckled while rubbing his shoulder in slight pain, "I have no quarrel with you boy."
Reaching behind his back he took out the sword I saw Richard wielding early and tossed it to me.
"This sword was your father's. He would go on to become one of the most feared warriors in the Biblical faction with this blade."
Wait a minute Richard was from the... I'm going to fucking smack myself.
Richard.
Winchester.
The fact I couldn't even see his level and the complete weirdness that was this family meant that I was a complete moron.
So what the hell was Richard then? Some warrior in service of the church? A Fallen Angel? An angel? A demi-angel? Some type of magician in the vain of Harry Dresden?
I sighed.
All questions that could be saved for later.
The devil heir turned around and began to walk away.
"And now it is your's boy."
I digested his words and looked at the greatsword now in my hands. What made this thing so special?
'Observe.'

Abyss Watcher: A sword composed of holy steel, a metal made in the forges of Heaven, and cooled in the Cocytus river. This blade is deadly to any supernatural enemy whether they be divine or monstrous in nature and is outright lethal to demonic beings.

-'For when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.'
Well, it sucked that I couldn't wield it yet, but I guess it made sense. This thing was a greatsword after all.
In fact, it actually looked kinda familiar...

Do you wish to accept?
[Yes/No]
'Well, at least this one is flat out telling me what will happen if I deny or somehow fail it.' I thought with a sigh, 'At least it's giving me the option about how to go about it.'
And while I didn't really care all that much… it would be pretty bad to start having godly beings hate me right off the bat.
'Yes.'
If I had to take a guess at what was happening then it would be that the system was still trying to set up a prologue and an interesting/tragic backstory.
I'll play along if it meant it would stop forcing me into this kinda crap for a little bit.
Time to make an arch nemesis.
"What's your name?" I called out despite already knowing it.
Be kinda weird if a 12-year-old already knew the name of some devil heir.
Magdaran stopped and turned around, and inquisitive look dancing in his eyes.
"The name's Magdaran Vassago boy, heir of house Vassago and one of lady Lucifer's 7 knights of Hell." He answered, "Why do you ask?"
Oh, fucking joy. He was a knight of Hell. Please don't tell me I need some special mark and blade to gank this bastard.
"Because I want to know the name of the thing I'm going to kill," I said in the angriest voice I could muster.
Might as well make it convincing as possible.
That got the devil to raise an eyebrow.
Wanting to avenge your father? Alright then boy, I suppose I can understand that." An amused smile appeared on the devil's face, "But not today."
Magdaran snapped his fingers and a fiery portal appeared behind him.
"Look me up when you have hair on your chest and some blood on that blade." He said before vanishing through the portal.
The portal closed behind him and the ruined airport descended back into darkness.
"Welp, that was a thing."
Looking down at the greatsword in my hands I wondered where to put the thing. I had no idea where the necklace would take me and I really didn't want to explain to mortal police why I had a sword, or whatever the mist disguised it as, in some public venue if that's where I was transporting.
"If only this thing came with an inventory."
!
You're having an absolute laugh. This would have been great to know beforehand. You know, like in the tutorial maybe?
This is your inventory system! You can store just about whatever you want in it.
A large rectangular window appeared in front of me with tons of storage spaces.
Now that's what I call useful!
Hefting the sword up I tossed towards it the rectangle and it dispersed into a bunch of digital lines.
Now since that was out of the way it was time to get the hell out of here.
Holding the necklace in my hand I chanted the words Richard told me.
"Ianuae Magicae."
*Pop*
*Pop*
"Shit!" I cursed as I popped into existence mid-air.
15 feet above the forest floor to be exact.

Crossroad completed!

Oh, well that was nice. Too bad I couldn't savor my first completed quest as gravity caught up to me and I discovered what the ground felt like in a very intimate way.
Damnit, Richard.
"Oof."
Pulling my face out of the dirt revealed to me that I was in a forest of some sort. Judging by the sun I'd say it was early afternoon.
But exactly where was I? I swear to god if that damn necklace took me to some random forest in the middle of nowhere that I was personally going to the afterlife and kicking Richard's ass.
"Oi! Who in the Hades are you?"
My head snapped around the find four armored and armed teenagers pointing their weapons at me.
My eyes were drawn to the burly boy in front who was looking at with a sneer that looked permanent.
Ulysses Lafayette, Lvl: (30)
Title: Son of Ares
Well wasn't that just stupidly convenient. This necklace transported me near Camp-Half blood. Of course, I would slightly prefer Camp Jupiter since it was far safer than the Greek camp.
But considering they were stiffer than their Greek cousins and they didn't have the sarcastic wonder that was Percy Jackson I'd guess this would do.
"Sup." I said casually, "Name's Arthur, but you can call me Arthur."
The three demigods behind Ulysses exchanged glances and lowered their weapons a bit.
Sneer boy, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes, "Alright than Lexie, next question. What are you and why did you appear outside the border in a flash of light?"
The insult game already? Alright than jackass.
"Well bitch face besides the fact that's two questions."
The son of Ares growled.
"I'm a demigod like you. As for the second question, I was attacked by monsters and my guardian gave me some necklace to escape."
One of the demigods behind Ulysses chuckled before a glare from the son of Ares shut him up.
"Alright then let's see this necklace than brat."
I tossed him the necklace in my hand and he examined it for a second before tossing it to a different demigod.
"He telling the truth Grant?"
The demigod known as Grant looked closely at it for a second, "Yeah, that's teleportation magic alright. Most of its used up, but there are wisps of it still hanging there."
My eyes flashed towards Grant. How could this guy identify magic just by looking at it?
Grant Brewer, Lvl: (26)
Title: Son of Hecate
Cheater.
The son of Ares nodded and fixed his glare back on me, "Well maybe you're telling the truth shitstain. Last test, step through the boundary over there."
He pointed a few feet away from where the air seemed to be covered by a membrane of some kind. Must have been the boundary that Thalia's tree creates.
Walking up to it I didn't even bother stopping as I passed through it. Turning around I gave the group a raised eyebrow.
Ulysses mumbled something under his breath about weird shit happening the last couple of days before addressing the demigod to his right.
"Bryan take this kid to Chiron while we continue to patrol."
Bryan walked over and clapped me on the shoulder.
"C'mon kid. Let's get you to the Big House and get you sorted. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood."
With that Bryan steered me towards the Big House and I got my first full view of the camp.
And I have to say, the books and movies didn't do this place any justice. The Greek architecture mixed with some modern aspects, the crystal blue ocean rolling onto the beach, the gardens and strawberry fields? This place was goddamn beautiful.
I could only imagine what Camp Jupiter looked like. Especially since even Percy thought it was more impressive than the Greek camp.
Though that got me thinking. The Greeks and Romans weren't supposed to know about each other yet I already did for obvious reasons. Does that mean I'd get a free pass and be able to contact them or would Zeus smite my ass before I even tried?
Hmmm, I wondered if the other Pantheons who were capable of having demigod children had safe havens as well?
Thoughts for later I suppose.
Walking up to the house Bryan knocked on the door. A couple of clops later and a centaur answered the door.
"Ah, Bryan! What can I help you-" Chiron paused when he caught sight of me, "Well hello my boy, I don't believe we've met."
"New camper Chiron." Bryan answered, "Found him why doing border patrol. Apparently, he got sent here with a teleportation spell."
"Teleportation?" Chiron said with a raised eyebrow.
Bryan shot me a look and I tossed Chiron the necklace.
"Hmm yes, while I haven't seen this type of magic in a while it's definitely teleportation. Nevertheless, welcome my boy. Bryan, you may return to your duties."
"You got it Chiron," Bryan said and left without another word.
"And you…"
"Arthur Winchester"
"Need to watch the informational video on this camp before we go on the tour."
"Nah I already know the basics." I said not wanting to waste time on a video, "This camp is for the children of the Olympians and minor gods, we train to be heroes, monsters want to kill us, and they never die."
The old centaur looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"My guardian knew I was a Greek demigod and told me about some of the stuff before he sent me here."
"Ah, I see. It is rare that the mortal parent knows about the gods as only a few are clear-sighted. But there are exceptions." Chiron said, "Did they happen to tell you who your godly parent is?"
I shook my head, "No, but I have a pretty good idea."
"Oh? And why is that?"
Holding out my hand I summoned another ball of light using photokinesis.
"You know of any other god of light?"
Chiron stared at the ball of light for a moment before his eyes flickered back to mine, "How interesting."
That wasn't the response I was expecting.
"Interesting how?"
"Interesting as there are only two Olympians who jointly control light, Apollo and Artemis." Chiron said as he stroked his beard, "And yet I have no memory of any of Apollo's children ever having the ability to use light and as Artemis has the oath to stay a virgin forever, she has no children."
"Which means what?" I asked.
"Which means you potentially will be a powerful demigod. Those who have been blessed with rare gifts by their parents generally are, but for Lord Apollo to give you such a rare ability…"
I swear I heard to old centaur mutter something about "dark times".
There was a pregnant silence that followed the next few moments.
"But nevertheless come my boy," Chiron broke the atmosphere as he walked off the porch, "I'll give you a tour around the camp before we settle you in the Hermes cabin."
"Why the Hermes cabin? I'm obviously a child of Apollo. Shouldn't I be put in his cabin?"
"I'm sorry Arthur, but the rules are that you may only be assigned a cabin if you are claimed by your parent."
Well, it was worth a shot.
"Now the first thing you need to know is where we eat. Do you see that pavilion there to the east." Chiron pointed out.
Following his direction, I did indeed see a rather large pavilion sitting out by twelve large cabins.
"That is where you shall go to eat. Breakfast is at 8 in the morning, lunch is at noon, and dinner is at 5. Each table is for a specific cabin to sit at-"
Chiron proceeded to drone on for another half an hour as we made our way through camp. All the while I actually had to pretend like I was listening even know I knew most of this shit from the book.
I could get away with knowledge about the gods and what the camp was about since other demigods like Luke and Thalia also knew beforehand.
But convincing him that I was already familiar with the entire camp and what was in it from someone who wasn't even affiliated with Greek pantheon?
Even I couldn't bullshit that.
"And this is the Hermes cabin. As he is the god of travelers, all demigods who are unclaimed are allowed to stay here." Chiron explained to me, "Now go on and knock, Luke, should be in there. He's the counselor for the Hermes cabin and will get you all squared up."
Nodding I went up and did what he said.
Almost instantly the door swung open and a handsome blonde guy fixed me with a dazzling smile.
Luke Castellan, Lvl: (?)
Title: Son of Hermes
I didn't even bother using observe on him. It would just tell me what I already knew from the books.
Good guy turned bad with some serious daddy issues.
"Hey Chiron, this is the new kid that everyone is talking about?"
Wait, hold the hell up. They were already talking about me? I was here for barely an hour and a half.
Though to be fair though I did just drop in on that patrol in a flash of light. That probably did draw some attention.
"Indeed, this is Arthur. He'll be staying in your cabin until he is claimed."
I noticed Luke's face temporarily darkened at the mention of being claimed before it disappeared as fast as it had appeared.
"Awesome. Well, we already have you a corner and some toiletries set up for you." Luke said, "Careful not to step on anyone's stuff while you walk through. We're kinda over capacity at the moment."
"Thanks, Luke," I said and made my way to step into the cabin.
Only the son of Hermes put his hand out to stop me.
"Sorry kid but it's only one midday and we need all the time we can get if you don't want to get utterly destroyed tomorrow. You can get sorted after dinner."
I looked between Chiron and Luke, "Get ready for what?"
Luke smiled, "Every week we have capture the flag, and I don't mean your average elementary school capture the flag. I mean capture the flag Greek warfare style. Weapons, battle strategy, and everything goes with exception of killing."
"And…."
"And tomorrow's your first game!"
"But I just got here like an hour ago. Can't I skip it tomorrow?" I asked.
I wasn't an idiot. Most of the kids here had been training for years and would cream my ass in a straight fight.
"Nope!" Luke said, "Every camper who is healthy enough to participate has to fight. That's why we need to get moving if you don't want to get your ass completely handed to you. I'm thinking we can start with sword tr-"
"Actually Mr. Castellan I have a different suggestion on what you should start with." Chiron interrupted.
Luke looked away from me and to the old centaur, "And what is that?"
"Archery." Chiron stated.
"Archery?" Luke repeated back in confusion.
"Indeed. We believe that we already know Mr. Arc's parentage."
Luke seemed to put the dots together pretty quickly, "You think he's one of Apollo's?"
Rolling my eyes I lifted my hand and created a couple of light arrows.
Luke stared at me as if I'd grown a second head and looked back at Chiron.
"And he's being put in the Hermes cabin why?"
"You know the rules Luke."
"The rules?" Luke sighed, "He can make light arrows! Light arrows! You'd have to be as blind as Polyphemus to not realize he's Apollo's kid."
"The rules are the rules, Mr. Castellan." Chiron repeated tersely as if he had had this conversation one to many time already, "He has to be claimed first to be put in his parent's cabin."
I noticed that Luke's face was turning a little red.
"Well, why hasn't he already? Even if he's only been here for an hour, have you ever heard or seen a demigod who could wield light before Chiron? By the gods, Apollo himself should be down here parading him around and bragging about his kid having such a rare ability!"
"Yes I am very much aware, but it is out of our hands." Chiron said, "Now are we going to argue on a subject we already know the answer to? Or are you going to help Arthur prepare for his first capture the flag tomorrow?"
Luke looked back down at me and the anger in his visage faded. It was once again replaced by an easygoing smile.
"C'mon Arthur, let's go and get you set up with a bow and some arrows. We'll see how good you are in archery."
!
Skill leveled up!
Archery, Lvl (5): The art of shooting projectiles with a bow.
-5% bonus damage
-I love the sound of a good 'thwack' in the morning.
So apparently I was pretty damn good at archery for a beginner. I was by no means bullseyeing every shot, but some of my shots where hitting somewhat close to the inner circles of the target. The archery skill also seemed to be leveling pretty fast even if I had no baseline to compare it to.
Now I would normally call bullshit on someone picking up a skill so fast. But considering I was half god, was possibly in a video game, and Percy was so naturally skilled with a sword his first few times that the camp's best swordsman in 300 years was even astounded by it…
I think I was in the clear.
"Well hot damn, Chiron was right Luke! I don't think I've ever seen anyone, even my brothers and sisters, take so fast to wielding a bow and arrow so fast." Michael said as he clapped me on the shoulder.
"I'll say." Luke said while admiring my riddled target, "He's definitely already better than my lousy ass shot.
"Pretty true, you and that Percy kid couldn't hit the broadside of Olympus if you tried." Michael admitted, "Though I guess I should include you in the category of my siblings shouldn't I Arthur? Because judging by the way your shooting and those blue eyes of yours there's about no way your not. You sure you've never used a bow before?"
I nodded, "Never touched any sort of projectile weapon before this."
Michael tightened his grip on my shoulder, "Well ain't this a stretch of good luck. When I heard we had another newbie I thought we were going to be screwed with having to babysit them during the game. But Percy already being a better swordsman than half the campers here and Arthur apparently being the same with a bow, I think we're gonna do alright."
Huh, so I was just about on time with the Percy Jackson timeline. If Percy was still a newbie and this was also his first capture the flag, then this was the one where he would get claimed when the hellhound attacked him.
Maybe I could get claimed as well then. The gods did occasionally take note of when their children did great deeds or killed powerful monsters.
A 12-year-old killing a Hellhound?
Apollo may just claim me and get me out of sleeping on the floor of the Hermes cabin.
!
Quest type: Normal
Hellhounds are known as some of the fiercest of Hades minions and killing one as a child who just learned about the supernatural would be quite a feat. One that your godly parent cannot ignore. So and slay one.
Rewards:
Your godly parent will claim you.
Failure:
Nothing
Do you wish to accept?
[Yes / No]
'Yes.'
In the distance loud noise echoed across the camp.
"Alright, I think that's enough archery for today." Luke said as he motioned me forward, "That's the dinner bell and while I would love to see how much progress Arthur can make with a bow and arrow…"
"He should also know how to use a sword at the very least?" Michael guessed.
Luke nodded, "After dinner, I'll spare some of my recreational time to show him a proper stance and how to hold as sword before we go to sleep. We'll hold off the more mundane training for after capturing the flag and dedicate tomorrow to more archery and sword training. That sound good Arthur?"
"As long as it means I don't get my shit smashed in during the game than yeah," I replied.
"That's the spirit!" Luke commended.
You know I can see why so many people looked up to Luke before he betrayed the camp. He was good-looking, charismatic, and had an easy going personality that just seemed to invite you in. He had been nothing but nice to me ever since I had gotten here.
Too bad he was willing to kill everyone but Thalia and Annabeth to raise the titan lord from his grave.
And considering I very much liked living, that just wouldn't do
