~Thalia~
"Thalia your spacing out again. What's wrong?" My closet friend Sara asked. Sara is a 13 year old African-Hispanic, with volcanic hair, Hershey brown eyes, and the daughter of Trivia goddess of magic. Her dad caught her mothers attention because he always put on magic shows for the kids in their neighborhood, and loved everything that involved magic.
As for me. Well I probably wouldn't be your average kind of girl. Most people would think I was goth because I wore black and dark clothing all the time, black leather jacket with a black hoodie underneath, ripped up black jeans, dark red beanie that covered up my short neck length hair that was spiked up in places and part of my intensive electric blue eyes. If the description of my eyes didn't give away my parentage I'm a daughter of Jupiter King of the Gods. I also forgot to mention that Sara and I are in the 3rd Cohort.
"Did you zone out again? Seriously if it weren't for that tat on your arm I'd think you were a daughter of Mars." She teased.
"Haha very funny. I could say the same to you Sara, for someone who is badass in magic I can't help but wonder if your not Apollos kid. Because you hit on every guy in camp."
"Well I guess it's a good thing we both got our tattoos at the same time 4 months ago." She said flashing her left forearm proudly with a tattoo in black with S.P.Q.R, a wand with sparks flying out and one bar symboling only a years worth of service.
I had the same thing on my arm except the difference is that I had an eagle holding a lighting bold in its claws.
"You were trying to remember your past again weren't you." She asked. It wasn't even a question but a statement.
"Yea." I sighed. "Four months Sara, it's been 4 freaking months and I can't remember anything prior to that."
"I know it must be hard Thalia, but come on look at all the cool things that happened these four months." She smiled causing me to as well. Needless to say my life has been one hell of a ride from the moment I woke up.

~4 months ago~
"Hey Eric I think she's coming around." A voice calls out.
"Ugh where am I? Why does my head hurt?" I groaned.
"You're at Camp Jupiter but to be more specific we're in the medic wing. You've been out for three days, and the reason for your head is because something or someone knocked you out. You have a pretty severe concussion. My name is Sara Hodges by the way what's yours?
"My name is Thalia, Thalia Grace. Wait did you just say Camp Jupiter?" I asked to clarify I heard her right.
"Yep I sure did. This place is the only safe haven for half-bloods like ourselves, it was named after the king of the gods myself." She explained.
"Yea I know what half-bloods are and who that ass is." I growled causing her to freak out.
"Wow I don't know what lord Jupiter did to you. But calling him an ass is a sure way to be struck by lightning." Comes a new voice belonging to a boy with salt and pepper hair tied in a ponytail, bright green eyes, blue polo shirt and shorts. "But if you already know about demigods and stuff, this will make it easier. I'm Eric Dunn son of Apollo God of the sun and head healer, you already met Sara she's the daughter of Trivia goddess of magic. He introduced.
"Nice to meet you Eric and don't worry about me. The almighty King wouldn't dare harm a hair on my head." I said dismissively.
"And why is that?." They both asked curiously.
"Because he's my father. I'm Thalia Grace, daughter of Jupiter." I grumbled.
~Praetors~
''There's no way in hell that she's a daughter of Jupiter. a child of Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto would attract all sorts of monsters and be killed with their strong aura, I don't care how good you are.'' Praetors Brendon shouts for like the 100th time. Brendon was a buff guy with short brown hair and eyes, he was wearing a purple cape and shirt, sport shorts and white pumas. But the worst part of it all was that he was my nephew because he's the son of Hercules.
''Calm down Brendon, she says she's the daughter of Jupiter then she is. She even swore on the Styx.'' Maria says trying to calm down Brendon. Maria was the daughter of Venus, and had shoulder length blond hair, Kaleidoscope eyes that kept on changing color, and was also wearing a purple cape and shirt with faded blue jeans.
''Don't you understand Maria? There hasn't been a child of Jupiter or any of his brothers in a long time, not since the civil war. And you know as well as I do that any children of the theirs is dangerous, specially now with the troubling reports we've been receiving. ''
"What kind of reports Brendon? What haven't you and Maria been keeping from the legion?" Eric asked.
"First off Eric as leaders of the legion, we can share what information whenever we want." Brendon says narrowing his eyes at Eric.
"It's as you said Brendon, being a leader also means it's your duty to inform the legion, should any problem arises that could bring harm to Rome." Eric growls getting in the Praetor face.
"Both of you enough!" Maria orders which causes the two stand down, but what was odd is that I also wanted to do what she said.
"It's been awhile since you've last charmed spoke someone Maria." Sara pitches in.
"Charm speak?" I asked confused.
"It's a power that Maria's mother has, and gives it to only a few of her children. Being a the daughter of Trivia I'm hardly fazed by it, unless it's a really powerful demigod." Sara explained.
"So Maria isn't strong enough?"
"She's strong enough to cause me to hesitate in my movement. But she doesn't like forcing people to do things, so she doesn't do it."
"Why not? Sounds like a badass power." I complemented.
"It has it's perks." Maria smiled.
"But to get back on track." Maria said getting everyone's attention. "Eric is right though Brendon. As leaders of the legion it's our duty to inform them of impending dangers."
"Fine. Tonight at dinner we'll inform everyone what's happening." He growled nodding his head toward the door dismissing us.
"Wow I just now meet him and I already to strangle him." I said once the doors closed causing Sara to laugh and Eric to smirk.
"Trust us when we say this, but half of camp hates him to."
