A New Era

by EmpressDaria

This takes place when the gods are preparing for war and they need the help from some of the most powerful people on the planet. Demigods. The USA is filled with them, there are hundreds of camps for the demigods everywhere. Both Greek and Roman. Who do the gods think are the best of the best? Who would declare war on a country with the most powerfull humans alive? P and A POV.

1. Chapter 1

EmpressDaria~ This is the first story shave ever written that was not for a grade in my English class, or ISTEP. I would love to hear any constructive criticism you could give me. I will also not be one of those people who beg for reviews. I am happy even if only one person reads it. I know it will entertain at least one person.~

Chapter 1

Before I go in and give you my story, I think you should know some things about my "world". After reading about me and my friends you could be in danger as well. This is your first of all, I live in the United States of America. (USA) The US population is mostly made up of the kids of the Greek and Roman gods. We live mostly in seclusion from the rest of the world because people are scared of us, and don't want to mess with us, since we are the offspring of, well, God's. We also don't have to worry about tourists, because we have a bit of a monster problem. Our country has all of those monsters you hear about in Greek and Roman mythology. That is enough to scare off anyone who just wants to snoop. The gods are also our leaders. We have the Olympian council, which I am sure you have heard of before, and then the next 3 biggest leaders are the ones we refer to as the Big Three. Zeus(god of the skies and lightning), Poseidon (God of water, sea creatures, horses, and cyclops), and finally, Hades (god of the underworld, with the two shares of power ; riches and death). It is extremely rare for a child to be born of the Big Three. They outlawed having kids with mortals years ago after they found out about the Great Prophecy, though nobody but them knows what it is. They won't tell us. You have now been warned twice.

You are probably getting bored to death by now, so am I, but there are still a few basic things I should go over with you before I allow you to be submerged in my dangerous world. One of those thongs being tradition and culture. When a demigod is born, they are sent to a camp, depending on whether they are Greek or Roman. There are lots of different camps to go to, but the best are Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. I go to Camp Half-Blood. No one is able to tell you who your God parent is until you are claimed. When a god meets a mortal they change their appearance so you don't recognize them. The only way to get to the camp the first time is if a satyr or faun bring you. They are able to smell demigod. When you get to camp you have to go to the unclaimed cabin. Each god has a cabin assigned to them. Some cabins have more people than others. Each cabin also has a certain table at dinner. You are not allowed to sit at another cabins table. When you get your food you must sacrifice the best of it to the gods in the ceremonial fire. though the camps aren't completely serious, they have plenty of games like any other summer camp. I could tell you more about how we live, but I will leave it up to you if you want to risk learning more. After all, my world isn't the easiest... or the safest. This is your final warning, pay attention.

My name is Annebeth.

Annebeth Chase

I am a demigod.

EmpressDaria~So how did my first story go. I don't think it was very long, but oh well. The next story should be longer, and Annebeth will probably be talking to people as well. I did leave out some big cultural things as a surprise. Just wait till you see'em. Oh, and does anybody else understand the passive and active voice thing?
