Prologue

My name is Kara Godeleus and I'm a demigoddess. You wouldn't know that if you saw on a good day. On a bad day no one, sane, would want to see me, because they usually end up scorched or clawed pretty bad.

I live in Camp Half-Blood usually, but I sometime go visit Olympus. I'm different from most demigods because I have been alive since the Trojan War.

That is probably why I'm not well known in the Greek world, because everyone one was praying to Ares, Athena, or whoever their patron is.

"Please don't let me die, please let me see my family again, or please help me not to pee myself when Achilles charges at me in battle, or something like that."

They really didn't notice a new child of the gods come into the world, and when they did Rome was almost done destroying the Greek empire. Rome did take notice of me, though, I was said to carried Bellona's war helmet and weapons when she went off to war, in their history, but nothing big to write about.

I did many things for the gods, I solved their fight, I got objects they needed, I slayed enemies of their children, and I also watched over their kids as well.

That is what got me know in the immortal world, and the ability to watch the most powerful demigods.

It was kind of a surprise that I was given another child to watch after what happened to John F. Kennedy, powerful son of Notus. But he wasn't considered a big deal because of his father being a minor wind god. It was my first failure, even if it was a minor god child, I wasn't asked to watch any children for awhile.

I went into a downward spiral after his death, not much of me was seen for the first ten years. I became short-tempered, easy to anger, and more willing to kill someone.

It was probably good that Athena gave me Annabeth to watch over. Annabeth helped me heal so much, and she definitely needed me to protect her when she was younger.

Well, that is enough about my past, let us get to the events leading up to Annabeth and my life together.

-This is a line break-

The summer solstice meeting had just concluded, and I really wanted to get out of there quickly.

I was so close to my goal until, "Kara, can I please speak to you for a moment," I turned around to see the speaker, Athena's hard steel eyes meet my lavender eyes.

I bowed to her and replied to her," Of course Lady Athena," she lead me to a private alcove.

"As you know I have been seeing a mortal by the name of Fredrick Chase, she said slowly sitting down on the ground.

I shook my head no, I had been out of the affairs of the gods for quite some time.

She sighed at me before continuing," Well in a month or two I should be welcoming another Athenian into the world."

I looked at her head, it did seem to be a bit bigger than normal and the gods did not argue as much as they usually did in this meeting.

"So why are you telling me this Athena," I asked as she signed, for a second time, at me again.

"You are really giving me a headache, Kara, I want you to watch the child, it feels differently than most of them do," she said rubbing her temples.

"I will watch her if you truly want me to," I said as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Thank you so much, Kara, but you will have to stay on Olympus until I have it," Athena whispered into my ear.

I groaned, I hated staying on Olympus for more than a week. I could never find a place to sleep for more than a day or two, I didn't have a temple because I wasn't a god yet.

Athena laughed at me. Wait she laughed, she stopped and cover her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened in fear," What is child doing to me," she said shaking her head.

I walked away from Athena, wondering if I could find a place to stay for however long I was stuck on Olympus. Maybe Hestia would let me sleep in her hearth, or Artemis in her temple, it is not she ever used it with her hunting with her hunters and the moon.

It turned that I didn't need to find one for so long because the child was born two weeks later.

"Athena, what is it," I said handing Apollo some gauze to wrap Athena's head.

"It's a girl," Athena said as Apollo wiped some golden ichor off the baby.

"Are you going to name her, or is Fredrick going to do that," I said as Apollo wrapped the girl up in blankets and handed her to me.

"I am going to leave it up to Fredrick, but could you recommend the name Anna to him," she said as Apollo summoned a golden basket.

I handed her the child," I wish you luck, Kara and hope you do better this time," that struck a nerve, but nevertheless," and I wish you luck little one," Athena kissed her forehead before handing her back to me.

The baby let out a cry of delight as Athena passed her back to me. I put her in the basket, and finally got a good look at the baby. She already had a tuft of blonde hair on the top of her head, light gray eyes looked back at me, almost like they were studying me.

"Zephyrus is waiting for you, Kara," Apollo said opening the door for me and the baby.

I walked out of Athena's temple and was met with Zephyrus leaning against the front wall. I cleared my throat, as I walked over to him, and he turned to glare at me. The wind gods hated had a thing against me after Kennedy's death.

"I guess you come with the big bad goddess, don't you little one," Zephyrus said in the most annoying baby voice I have ever heard.

"Let us get this over with I'm heading to Virginia, right," I growled at him, my teeth sharpening with each word I said.

He just snapped his fingers and a windstorm swept the baby and I up into its grasps. I spun around like leaves being blown around by a leaf blower.

I finally managed to right myself in the vortex, and yelled at nothing in general," You better not drop us, or I will wring your neck when I see you," the storm darken and howled more in reponse.

"I hoped that means you'll think about it," I yelled before I was hit in the head by a rock and blacked out.
