Chapter 1

Azure's POV

I was now waiting inside the elevator of Empire State Building until I have reached the 600th floor. I know what you are thinking; you probably think that I am crazy, right? Well, I'm not. There is a 600th floor in the Empire State Building. And how do I know, it is because this is the place where my father lives and all the other Olympian Gods.

And let me guess, you don't believe that Olympian Gods exist? And if you do, stop believing that because the Olympian Gods has been living with you mortals for more than a hundred years and they have been helping you without even you knowing. And that my friend is a true fact.

"Ding," Then I saw the elevator's door opening. Then my eyes widened up because of mesmerizing beauty of Olympus. Everything I see here right seems like I was simply dreaming. All I see here is perfection of the tress, stones, sky, mountain and the temple on where Gods live.

After marveling the beauty of Olympus, I quickly walked to the place where I was supposed to meet the 12 Olympians to talk about something.

"You are right on time, Azure." I saw a giant looking man who looked quite familiar man. And he bent over to look at me eye to eye. "My name is Apollo."

"You're Lee's father," I suddenly pointed out.

He chuckled. "Well, yes I am. Let me help you lead your way to the Olympian Hall (let us just pretend this is where the Olympian held their meetings)"

{:::}

"Seeing that you are both here, we can now start up the meeting," The mighty Lord Zeus, God of the Sky and Lightning, the King of the Gods and also known as my father announced.

"We are all gathered here to talk about if Azure Dirdle could take up the position as ambassador." The Goddess of Athena said.

I can't be an ambassador; I am still too young for that. And why on Earth would they need an ambassador for? And an ambassador for what?

"She is just a ten year old girl, how could she do such a heavy task?" Demeter asked.

"But she is the only one who is capable in doing the job." Athena disagreed.

"Put some trust on the kid," Hermes intervened

"I can see this young girl is strong enough to take up the task," Artemis said.

"She needs more training," Ares simply said.

"She has been training for almost 7 years." Apollo said.

And the Gods kept arguing if I should take up this task or not. They kept talking and talking, and I still don't know on what task that I should or should not be taking.

I raised my hand and said, "Can I ask a question?"

I then caught all their attention. And my father looked at my way with pity, and the reasons why, I don't really know. "Ask away my child."

"What is this task exactly?" I curiously asked. My father then looked at the other gods as if asking permission if I should know about this 'task'. Thankfully they all agreed.

"We are all deciding if we should let you be the one who will help us to create an alliance with minor gods." He said.

"But how will I do that?"

"Simple, by serving the most influential minor god, Hecate," Athena answered.

That sounds like a big task. But how could do that? I never experience a quest in my life. So how would I know if I'm doing the right thing or not. Why not give this task to more experienced campers like Luke or will?

"Why did you choose me?" I asked.

Everybody except for me took a deep breath. And all the gods looked at my father. "You should start explaining," Hera said while crossing her arm.

"Explaining about what?"

"Your mother," my father said. I am still confused. How can my mother be related in all this?

"Your mother is a witch who is under Hecate's realm, so since your mother is a witch, you inherited the magical genes." My eyes widened up in surprise. No one told me anything about my mother and I never imagined that she was a witch.

"Witches don't exist," I unsurely said.

"The mortals call us mythological being but here we are alive and well. How could you know that witches and wizards are not real?" Apollo simply said.

"But how could know that this magical genes were passed on to me?"

"Ever since you came to camp, Chiron has been reporting about things happening around you. And he observed there is magical kind of accidents happening around you. And that served as evidence that you are truly a witch." Dad said.

"But I never noticed them." I said.

"They happen all the time when you were still a toddler."

"Could we now move on? I am already for one of the best parties of the whole year." Dionysus said. How are parties included in the topic that me and dad are currently talking about?

"Since now you know the truth, you have no choice but to accept this task." Zeus, my father said finality. I know I couldn't say no to that now.

"Don't I need a prophecy?"

"You wouldn't need prophecy since this isn't considered as a quest. It is more of a task actually." Apollo replied.

"Now, all you have to do is to go to 9 ¾ platform in King Cross Station, London by 10:00am tomorrow. And Hecate will meet you there to give all the information you need."

"How can I get to London by tomorrow?" Even if I used a plane, I still couldn't be there in time.

"And this is where I come in. I would be the one to help you out on your transportation to London." Hermes said.

And this is my life story on how it becomes more complicated as it is.
