AN - Hey, I know I have four other stories to work on, but the ideas just won't STOP! So I'm dabbling in the Greek arts. Now, just so you can be aware, my new character is fictional, and there is no replacement for her character. So have fun. :)


Now, let me get one thing straight here. I'm special. And I'm powerful. And I'm also not to be associated with some dead guy that had a messed up heel. Because he just happened to have been named after me.

Akiles. Goddess of Imagination. Yeah, I know what you're doing right now. You're thinking : Hey, wait a second. There is no goddess named Akiles. There is no true god or goddess of imagination. That's what they want you to think. I have to admit, I've been kept a secret for a pretty impressive amount of time. After all, it's usually thought of as impossible to hide something as big as an immortal.

So, onto step two. If you ignorant mortals are to know of my existence, you must know how to say my name right. So here we go.

Say Ah, like you're pretending to be attacked like a bear, then dial it down a bit. Now say Key, like the metal thing that opens a lock. Then end with Lease, like the word release with the Re.

To make it official, put it all together - Ah-Key-Lease. There you go. So, now that the formalities are over (thank goodness for THAT), I'll give you a moment to process this new information, and give you a chance to google me and try to prove me wrong. I'm sure you will : after all, you mortals think you always have to be right. So have fun with that.


AN - Like I have said already, there is no goddess of imagination, and certainly not one named Akiles. It's been brewing in my head for a while, and when I went to the Rick Riordan book signing at a mall near my house last Thursday - for the book 'The Mark of Athena', which I have finished already - I couldn't help but think that it was time to put my ideas into a story. Now, for those of you craving new stories of Percy Jackson, let me just tell it to you straight. This is my only story where the real characters in the story I'm writing for are just minor characters. Percy and his friends play a part, but this story is about Akiles. I'm not sure when this story takes place, but it's when Percy's at Camp Half-Blood, and it's around the time of the first series. So yeah.
