A/N: This is just a longer introduction to the masterpiece that I call Decoy. It takes place in an alternate universe, and the characters are somewhat OOC. Many details, like family and interests, don't directly correlate with the masterpiece that is PJO, and I am aware of that. This is MY spin off.

Reviews are motivation.
