Here the seven demigods life clashes with the life of another teenage boy who is something they have never heard of but when he offers to help in the war against gaia, will his presence be accepted by the gods or will they try to destroy him.

JOSH POV

I wandered around aimlessly across the island on which I was currently residing and sighed as I kicked random stones into the ocean. I needed some adventure in my life, living a fake life for over 300 years due to the paranoia and arrogance of a false king and a corrupt council was becoming too boring for my poor self.

I should probably introduce myself ; my name is Josh Hale and I'm the last of my kind called "The Elementals". We were a peaceful race gifted with the ability to control all aspect of the elements by the fates unlike the Olympians who were granted a particular aspect as a domain, Zeus due to his fear of being overthrown disregarded all warnings given to him by the fates and decided to annihilate us knowing that we were never trained to use our powers in a violent way.

I remembered the night it happened,

FLASHBACK TO THE PAST*

" I was five at that time and I was out playing with my friends by the lake when suddenly the air was filled with ozone and crackled with electricity, I remembered seeing the gods in full battle armor with Zeus raining down lightning on the villagers with his master bolt and Poseidon impaling people with his trident while Hades hacked his way through them with his sword. I remembered hearing my mum shouting at me to run before she was run through by Athena's spear, I ran and continued running till I got to an island at delos where I met a peaceful titaness called Leto who adopted me and allowed me to live on the island granting me partial immortality that works only as long as I stay on the island "

Present Time

I went back to the house where I saw my adopted mom cooking lunch,

"Josh, is that you?," she called out."where have you been, it's past noon."

"Sorry, Mom didn't realize it had gotten so late. I was just wandering round the island." I replied.

"Well you better..." She began to say just before she was silenced by the sound of a huge object crashing on the other side of the island, I immediately created a fireball in both hands and I walked towards where I heard the crash and what I saw was definitely not what I had envisioned in my mind. I arrived at the scene of the crash expecting a vicious monster like the python for example but I was greeted with the sight of a warship with a bronze dragon head figurine lying on the floor with smoke spilling from different sides and seven people whom I assumed were demigods and a funny little goat guy whom I pegged down as a satyr.

I was about to announce my presence to the demigods when one of then turned and noticed me first, what I took notice of first were her kaleidoscope eyes which seem to draw me in with every passing moment with their ever changing color unlike my own bright blue before I quickly got ahold of myself and said in my best intimidating voice "Who the fucking hell are you people and what are you doing on my island".
