Waking up to a four armed goblin staring down at me was not what I had planned for the day.

I did as usual and improvised by grasping the first solid object that I felt by my hand and chucked it at its ugly face. He didn't look too happy but what did I care? I had been living like a savage, escaping the clutches of death about what, five times these last two days?

I took off running and left the monster chasing after me. It wasn't something quite new to me. I had been running ravage through the forests while being chased by dozens of creatures since last month. Why? Well, I'm a demigod. Half-human, half-god. The only reason I know this is because I've been getting chased by monsters who call me a daughter of Olympus. Now, I might just be going crazy, actually, I'm hoping this is all just some big nightmare. You see, before this, I was living with my mother and my deranged step-father in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had a normal middle school life with friends and books and everyday teenager stuff. But approximately two days after turning thirteen, everything changed. I started seeing monsters all around that no one else could see. I had these strange chills and anxiety attacks that caused slight blackouts in my house. And worst of all, I kept having this recurring nightmare of these strange events happening, and with each event, I see a group of people that I have never seen before but I feel like I know them somehow. To sum it all up, I was attacked by this weird bird with a metallic mouth during my step-father's guest meeting. Yes, you heard right, an oversized metal-mouthed bird attacked me. From there, everything went completely downhill. So I decided to leave and listen to the voices inside my head. So far, they've led me to a forest somewhere in Nevada.

Whether I believe all this, well I don't see why not? I used to read about Greek mythology when I was young. I remembered stuff like demigods and gods and all that stuff. But I never imagined it to be real. Now I can't be too sure. I've been called a child of Olympus so that's one. I'm pretty sure little kids aren't supposed to be chased by their childhood "monster under the bed" so that's two. And I'm pretty sure that I should be dead by now.

If I'm not going crazy and I am a demigod, whoever my godly parent is...WOULD IT KILL YOU TO HELP ME!

I felt a swipe at my feet. I sped up and looked for an escape.

'Dang it. I have to think of something.' I thought.

Up ahead stood a low tree branch. Of course I did what you'd expect me to do and ducked as the goblin took the full on hit. "Ha-ha stupid monster." I teased. Though I probably should've kept my mouth shut. It got back up and faced me with a menacing expression.

"Uh-oh." I took off again and looked for somewhere to hide. But where? Nothing but a bunch of high trees and plants lay everywhere. If only I could climb trees or find a cave to hide in.

I ran as fast as I could, though it was kind of hard to do so with all the tree trunks and large plants everywhere. I shot to my left and scattered past a few trees in order to slow him down. I kept running until something stopped me. I abruptly found myself starring down at the floor. Something rough was around my ankle, and realized I was hanging from a rope.

"A trap, really?" I groaned. The goblin looked up at me, his menacing grin only inches from my face.

"Perfect. I didn't even need to get my hands dirty." He said. He threw a knife at the tip of the rope and I fell to the floor. However he began to tie me and slung me over his shoulder.

"Hey! Where are you taking me! Let me go!" I yelled out.

He just grunted. I struggled to get out of his grip but it was no use. Great. Now I'm about to become dinner.

After what seemed like an hour, he dropped me down. I looked up and saw a small rugged house. I faced the goblin and he stared down at me like he was getting ready to feast at a buffet.

"I am not becoming dinner. You hear me?"

He didn't listen and walked closer.

"How about we make a deal? You let me go and I will…I will give you a free pass to the ultimate Vegas style buffet."

He raised an eyebrow. "Vegas style? I've heard of such a buffet. A delicacy of the heavens themselves."

"Yeah the heavens, so deal?" I asked.

He rubbed his chin. "Tempting indeed. Very well, where is the free pass?"

I jumped in shock. "Oh well, you see I left it in my other jeans. If you could just untie me I can rush off and bring it right back to you?" I spilled.

He was about to untie me, but then snarled. "Wait a second, I know this trick. You think you can fool me just like all the other little half-bloods!"

I wiggled back a few feet. 'Dang it. He's gonna kill me, he's gonna kill me.' I thought. The goblin peered over to grab me. Before I could think, an arrow skewered his shoulder. I watched as two more impaled him and heard a voice from behind.

"Leave. Or I won't hesitate to kill you."

The goblin snorted and ran off. I sat up and saw someone walking toward me. He wore a white cloak over some leather armor. He looked rather older, with strange gray hair and glasses.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

I stared at him and nodded. I wasn't sure what was going on. But I sure was thankful.

"Well it seems that you must be a special one. That particular type of goblin doesn't chase after just any demigod."

I dropped in confusion. "Eh, who are you?"

The guy cut the ropes and gave me a hand to help me up. He had these strange markings on him, they seemed liked stitches but they were scattered all around his skin. He must've gotten into something brutal. He sheathed his bow before responding. "Just call me Stein. I'm a fellow demigod myself. Consider yourself lucky, my gang and I don't save just any demigods. Why is a little girl like you all alone out here?"

I wasn't sure what to respond honestly. That I, a thirteen year old girl from Las Vegas, decided to run away from home after having various encounters with all things supernatural. Or that I had been living in the forests just trying to figure out what the heck was going on with the whole demigod thing and trying not to be eaten by monsters?

Apparently he seemed to catch on, because he pushed up his glasses and gestured for me to follow him.

"You seem like you could use some answers." He stated.

I nodded.

"Well, you do know that you are most likely a demigod right?"

"Yes." I replied.

"Well, you seem to be new to this subject. I'm guessing you just found out. It usually starts at the age of thirteen. But let's just put it the short way. We demigods are sons and daughters of the Olympians. We have to fend for ourselves using Greek weaponry and our inherited powers. And at the same time, many enemies lurk to feast on our flesh and souls. As children of Olympus, we have many dangerous foes."

I comprehended what he told me. It was still a little too much to take in, but why shouldn't I believe him. If he's a demigod like me, maybe he can help me out.

We came to a deeply vegetated area. I had to duck under some vines and watch to make sure my feet didn't sink inside any mud patches.

"Careful, this area is strictly armed in traps. Follow my path closely." Stein commented. As he walked, I realized the plants were clearing a path in front of him, as if they were alive. 'How strange.' I thought. A sheet of vines opened and we came inside this enclosed area.

"By the way, I never did catch your name." He stated.

"It's Maka. Maka Albarn." I replied.

My gaze fell up ahead. We seemed to be in some kind of jungle fort. There was some pretty insane looking tree houses up ahead. They were connected by bridges and rope ladders hung down under each house. I counted about ten of them, all scattered throughout like some sort of village. Some people were visible along the bridges, they seemed like normal teenagers, like me.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"This is where demigods like you and I lurk around. I gather them up to protect them. We call ourselves Spartoi."

"Spartoi? You mean Spartan?" I asked.

Stein chuckled. "Half correct. Spartoi was a Greek term for The Sown. They were men who sprang out from dragons teeth in order to combat insanity. That's what we do, we fight against insanity."

I nodded, though I didn't quite understand how you can fight insanity, or why. We arrived to a camp fire area of the fort. A few people caught sight of me and gave me a weird look.

"Hey Stein who's the new chick!" A blue haired guy came jumping down from one of the houses and landed on his face.

"Black*Star. This is Maka. I saved her from a goblin out in Prestige Rock."

The kid got up instantly and examined me, which I wasn't quite fond of. He scratched his head. "What are you, a daughter of Apollo? Hahaha! Apollo! Ah, how dumb. Everyone knows that no god is bigger than Ares!"

I gave Stein a look.

"Yes he isn't your everyday guy. He'll take some getting used to." Stein replied.

Just then, another guy came down and walked over to us. He seemed kind of intimidating wearing all black and having a gloomy look on his face. He also had these white stripes on half his hair, what kind of style was that?

"Stein. Who's this?" He asked.

Stein coughed in discomfort and proceeded to answer. "Kid, this is Maka. She was being chased by a goblin out in Prestige Rock. I saved her."

The boy glared at me with fierce golden eyes. I've never met anyone with golden eyes before, though I would've enjoyed them more if they didn't seem so threatening.

"Who is you godly parent?" He asked.

I didn't answer, which made him angry.

"I asked you a question."

"I don't know." I managed.

He scowled. "What do you mean? How do you not know? You're a demigod are you not?"

"Well yes but..." I didn't finish. He was making me so nervous. It's like his own presence was just trying to kill me.

He faced Stein. "I would think you would know better than to bring a complete stranger to our hide out Stein." That's all he said and he walked off.

"Tough crowd." I said.

"Yes. He is...how would you say, different. His name is Death the kid. He's a son of Hades so he is of the highest level here. You won't see him much so there isn't anything to worry about. Though he is right, you don't know who your godly parent is?"

Again I didn't answer and just shook my head.

"Well that needs to be fixed. I'll let you stay here. You can stay in the girl's cabin until things are figured out." Stein gestured for me to follow him.

"Wait what about that Death guy? He seemed angered about me." I asked.

"Don't worry. I am the one who rescues demigods, he has no say on the matter."

We went up to the houses. I'll admit, it was pretty cool. These were ordinary everyday houses just up on trees. And a lot of them were decked out with incredible luxury. Stein went to knock on the door of a medium sized light blue house. A short, pink haired girl opened the door.

"Stein. What sup?" She asked.

"Hello Kim. We have a new visitor. Her name is Maka, is it alright if she stays with you girls for the night?"

The girl looked at me and nodded. "Sure."

"Alright Maka, don't worry they don't bite. I'll come get you in the morning to figure things out."

I nodded and he was off. I took a breath and walked in. Everyone stared at me but I just smiled and played it cool.

"So Maka right?" The pink haired girl asked. I nodded.

"I'm Kim. I'm a daughter of Apollo." She introduced me to everyone else. They all seemed nice. It felt nice having some company again. "You can sleep in this bed right here. Make yourself at home." She smiled.

I sat down and stared at everyone. It wasn't bad I suppose, it was kind of like being back at summer camp. I looked around the room. There was a flat screen TV over on the left wall and next to it sat an average sized book shelf. There were three other doors, probably bathrooms and closets. "This seems like a nice place. How long have you guys been living here?" I asked.

"We've all been here for a while. I was the first demigod saved by Stein so I've been here for a few years. Everyone else has been here since last year." Kim replied.

"So who's your parent?" She asked.

"Uhh well, I don't quite know." I managed. They all stared at me wide-eyed.

"Then how are you a demigod?"

I took a breath and proceeded to explain my situation. "Well. It all began just last month."
