An Introduction
A/N: If this looks boring to you, skip over it. Chapter two is the beginning of this fanfic. This chapter has my thoughts about the fanfic and a little bit of information about the characters.
F.A.Q:
What is the summary to this fanfic?
Dionysus, the god of wine, madness, theater and festivity. Patron of the arts, insane PAC-MAN player, wearer of leopard skin. Does this god really have what it takes to be a father?
What is it rated and why?
This fic is rated T because I am a teenager and my sense of humor is different from that of a ten year old. Also, since Dionysus is the god of wine, wine and drinking will be mentioned. (You've been warned) So, if you're uncomfortable with that, don't read this story.
Who are the characters?
Mainly Dionysus and his kids.
Do you own the rights to the wonderful Percy Jackson and the Olympians series?
Unfortunately, I do not. Everything you see here is owned by Rick Riordan. (Please don't sue)
Do you have an authors note for this?
As a mater of fact, I do:
A/N: I wouldn't really call this a chapter but the information below here is necessary to this story as a whole (sort of). Either read on and understand a bit of the story or skip this chapter and be confused.
Happy reading

Anything else?
Yup:
Warning I refuse to believe that Dionysus only had two kids at camp half blood. To satisfy my belief, I created Antigone and Ismene Carter and maybe a few other half-bloods. I also have a theory about Dionysus having a lot of twins... Long story short, in the myths, Dionysus had two births (Look up the myth if you are unfamiliar with it.) so it sort of makes sense for him to have multiple children.
Names:
As seen throughout Greek and Roman mythology and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, names hold deeper meanings than just a name. For example, Percy Jackson is named after the Greek hero Perseus. Perseus was a very successful demigod. He went on a quest that involved bringing Medusa's head to King Polydectes. He succeeds with the quest, turns Polydectes to stone, and gives the head to Athena (thus creating Aegis). In the Lightning Thief, Percy gets sent on a quest. In the quest, he and his friends come across Medusa. Like Perseus, Percy beheads the gorgon and gives her head to the gods. At the moment, Percy and Perseus are unimportant (hence the word example).
Castor and Pollux Morril (yes I made up their last name) are named after the twin sons, Castor and Pollux, of Zeus and Leda. In mythology, Pollux was a boxer and Castor liked horses. Castor gets killed and Pollux really misses his brother. The two were inseparable. Zeus allowed the two to always be together by making them the stars on the constellation Gemini. In the Percy Jackson series, Pollux and Castor are the twin sons of Dionysus. The two are not really friends with the other campers. I have decided that Pollux and Castor are very shy. Pollux is good at fighting and Castor likes training pegasus and horses. Like the myth, Castor dies; leaving Pollux alone. Only this time, the brothers are not reunited.
Antigone and Ismene Carter are named after Sophocles' characters Antigone and Ismene from the play Antigone. In Antigone, the two sisters have very different views. Antigone breaks the king's rules to prove that she believes that the gods' rules are more important then mortal rules. Ismene goes along with the king's rules because she fears being killed. The two views separate the sisters. Antigone gets mad at Ismene. In this fanfic, my characters of Antigone and Ismene are best friends. Their mother is a Broadway performer and they have been in a few plays. I probably won't kill the girls but I might split them up during the war.
