One more thing...please forgive this dyslexic writer for any mistakes on the writing, I try my best to avoid them but there is always some mistakes that pass trough this dyslexic eyes.
To the story
Chapter 1
What can you do when most of your life was to stay hidden from most of the world? Well the answer is easy, you stay hidden and take advantage of what you can. Being born in this crazy type of world, a world where in every turn you may find an enemy, doesn't make it easy to keep yourself hidden. Ohh no that only makes things ten times worst. However, there's a different way to stay away from all those fights that one might encounter in the middle of the streets. What way you ask? Well, you have someone with more power over the world to help you out. The thing is, my situation it's way more complicated that just that. I didn't have the chance to choose between going to the world or staying hidden. No, no I was forced to stay away from all eyes I could since the day I born.
Well that and been an easy task, and a very easy one. Until now. This was moment when all my future would change for the first time since I had born. After this moment, I would be free from what I called my prison. After today I would not need to hide anymore. I was surrounded by the ones that would decide if that would be what really happen.
This may be confusing to understand, so let me explain from the beginning. My birth was kept a secret since the very beginning, why was that? Well from what I was always told, I was born with too much power. For that there are a few people to blame, everything started after Rhea had been given a prophecy in her dreams about a Millenia ago, after that she decided that the best was to curse my father with not having any more half-blood daughters. The thing is it wasn't a simple curse, she knew that the prophecies aren't that simple to avoid, and not just that. For a prophecy like that one to come in the way that came she was sure that it was also unavoidable. So being her, she put a little twist on her curse without my father knowing it.
And so, when I was born it was a surprise to everyone except for Rhea. Without much explanation she ordered my father and the rest of the Olympians to hide me from the other Gods and the world. That meaning only Rhea herself the Big three and the rest of the Olympians knew of my existence. And that brings me to this exact moment.
"Do you really think this is the best time to do this, Mother Rhea never told us when we should let her go." My Father asked.
"She also warned us that we would probably know when we would need her help. I cannot see any other time besides when the Oracle his gone and there is still something threating us, while we are blind without the Oracle." Lord Zeus replied.
"Still, until now the heroes were able to take care of everything. They even defeated Gaia just a couple of months ago. I really can't think of anything more powerful that Gaia as an enemy." Lord Hermes commented.
"We can't just trust that, not when Mother Rhea warn us. She born for a reason, we need to assume that something or someone worse that Gaia is coming." Lord Zeus continued.
I couldn't listen to them talk and murmur between them any longer.
"OK, that's enough. If you want to send me down just send me, but please stop." I said a little louder so they could hear me, and I continued after them where all looking at me. "Anyway, I have been hidden for too long, I need some fresh air, and some vacation from all of you."
They all look at me very serious for a few seconds, oh no they weren't mad at me. They were used to me to talk back at them all the time, I was one of the few that could do that without facing their wrath. You could say it was one of the privileges of living all your life hidden in Olympus with them.
"I guess if you really think it's the right time to send her. Then we should send her." My father finally spoken.
"Then its decided, you will be going to camp half-blood. Still we can't tell them everything, so for now it will be best to keep your true identity a secret. So, try to keep your powers in check." Lord Zeus warned me. "And also for now they will not know who your father is. It will be safer that way."
"Fine by me. But what are you going to say to Chiron? Everybody will think it is weird for a half-blood at my age to just show up now out of nowhere." I questioned.
They went back to murmur between them, trying to decide what was the best solution. I kind of hate when they did that, it always gave me a headache.
"Just decide on something." I said impatiently.
After a few seconds, they finally came to a silence, I look at Lord Zeus and in his hand a gold envelope appeared.
"When you reach camp give this to Chiron, it will explain the situation without reveling who you really are. He will not question since it is from me." Lord Zeus explained.
This was it, I was finally allowed to leave Olympus and join the camp. I had try asked once before to go there. However, the Gods didn't allow me, saying it was too early for me to go there. Anyhow I had left Olympus to go to Earth one time before, it had been hard to convinced them but after some discussion I had been able to reach an agreement with the Big Three, and they end up allowing me to go for a sort time. But that is a story for another time.
I pick up the envelope that Lord Zeus was handing me, what was with the Gods and the color gold?
"I will be going then." I said turning my back to them. "Have fun and don't fight too much."
For the first time the walk until the elevator door felt shorter and longer at the same time. I guess it was because I was eager to leave, but also didn't know when I would be back and was already missing what had been my home for the past 22 years.
This was it, the elevator door wasn't just the door down to Earth for me, it was also the door that would lead me to the what had been waiting for me all these years, on the other side was the answer to the reason why I had been born. This would be my first quest, and it could be my very last too.
