I do not own Percy Jackson or anything having to do with Rick Riordan
An Authors Note:
There is a certain way this must be read. You must open your mind a little for the world of Percy Jackson. The purpose of this fan fiction is to add a new character to the story. It is also important to remember that there is no mythological evidence to back this character up. He is an idea I created while reading Percy Jackson over and over. So, I take the story back to before Luke, Annabeth, and Thaila ever reach Camp Half-blood, but after they meet Hermes in Luke's house. Please give any feedback you can and enjoy!
Chapter 1: same stuff different day
Dane woke up the same as always at 7:00 AM. He looked around and saw that none of the other orphans had woken yet. Good, peace and quiet. Dane lived in the Saint Katherine's Orphanage with fourteen other orphans. The only difference between Dane and the rest of them was that they all had a basic back-story. Parents couldn't afford them, quickly dropped off in baskets then never seen again, but Dane was different. As far as the nuns who ran the orphanage knew Dane just turned up on the door step one day as an infant and they took him in.
Around 7:30 the other kids got out of bed, and they got ready for school. The orphanage never had enough money, so the kids hardly ever got breakfast, but managed to get free lunch at the various schools they attended. Dane at age 14 would be heading to the high school. Dane arrived at the school, at who else would be standing at the door then Dane's least favorite algebra teacher. Ms. Finke.
"Ahhh, look who finally arrived, none other than our favorite orphan Dane," said Ms. Finke maliciously.
"Hope you pass your test today, Dane. Otherwise that would be another F in that grade book of yours"
And on that note Ms. Finke left, but as she left Dane could have sworn he saw feathers sticking out of her arm sleeves of her black jacket.
"Good," Dane thought "I hope it's really uncomfortable."
Dane didn't have many friends. It's hard to make friends when you can't invite them over to your house. Plus, Dane never really liked other kids. They made stupid jokes, and they always seemed slow (mentally and physically) compared to Dane. So, Dane just waited for classes to start then went inside and of course when Algebra started Dane failed another test. Not because it was hard, but that he figured if enough students failed the class they would fire Ms. Finke. So, after school Dane went back to Saint Katherine's and quickly did all his homework for his other classes. Around 10:00 he went to bed, and thought, "someday I will leave this place"
