AN: Okay guys, this took me forever to research and write. Actually, not really. It took me like two hours. Yeah. So um, this pertains to the story I'll be posting later on. You can tell I got excited later on, because I got to create my own characters for the minor gods and goddesses. It was so much fun! Anyways, enjoy and tell me if I made any errors (gramatical, spelling, historical, ect...) so that I can fix them! Thanks!

Edit AN: HAHA! I ralized there are so many mistakes! Okay, I added Dom's last name... And does anyone know Clarisse's last name? I can't recall... And I am too lazy to go look it up... xD Thank yous!

A special thanks to OwlinAMinor for telling me to add a bunch of stuff (I actually took things directly from your review :P). This guide wouldn't be the same without you! :)
