I receive a Christmas Present I would love to give away...

Remember those old myths about the Greek gods and monsters and whatnot? Haha funny story, there all real. Not lying, most normal people can't see these things because they hide themselves by something called 'the mist'. Ugh, I know I'm still trying to take all of these things in too. Okay so let's start from the beginning, it all started on Christmas day. I awoke to my parents with a grave look on their face. "Uhhhm hello there?" I said confused. "We need to talk, right now" My mother said. "Well merry Christmas to you to!" I responded. As you can tell already, I was off to a bad start to a bad day. We walked down our stairs to the living room to see my best friend Ryan. "Hey dude, what are you doing here?" he said nothing, but his expression told me all I needed to know I'm sorry I had to come to this. "Sit down Aaron" my dad said. "Okay! What is going on? Why is Ryan here? What time is it? Why did you wake me up?" one million questions raged through me and out my mouth. "Oh Hun" my step mom started "I don't know how to say this, so I'm going to come right out and say it. You are a demi-god; we tried hiding you so you would have a somewhat normal life. You're friend Ryan is your protector, a satyr." I laughed and said "Ohhkkaaaaay there mom, are you feeling okay?" "I'm afraid it's not a joke sweetie, as much as I wish it was" she replied. Her tone was dead serious. "As you know I'm not you're birth mom, but I loved you like you were" she said. "Wait… if I'm part 'God' would I not need to have a godly parent?" I asked as it just started to dawn on me. "And if you're not my birth mom that means…" I felt so confused, how is this possible? Me being a demi-god? "Your birth mom is Aphrodite" my dad finally put in. "But there just myths, old legends?" I said. "No, that's what I thought, until I met Aphrodite. She explained everything to me I thought it was crazy too. Then she showed me…" my dad stopped there. Ryan leaned against the wall and looked me dead in the eye. "Your history teacher was a gorgon in disguise. She attempted to come here and kill you, but I stopped her. He continued. "After she showed her true form I never saw her before, not in the legends or anything, she was a new monster. She told me a plan, a plan that involved you and some others." "So what happens now?" I asked feeling a bit woozy. "This pains me to say, but you have to go to a place for you're kind. It's no longer safe here." My mom said with tears in her eyes. "Okay, this is sounding" I was cut off by a terrible screech. "Aaron we'll explain more on the way. Here you're mom wanted you to have this. She said too give it to you when the time is right, I think the time is now" my father said. He handed me a box with a blue boa on it. I opened the box slowly, scared of what I might see. It was a bronze knife; the handle was made carved with pictures of people holding hands and blue hearts. All of which engraved in a small handle. "She wanted me to have a bronze knife?" I asked a little confused. "It's celestial bronze, able to kill monsters" my father added. "So a 15 year old carrying a knife around in public is totally normal?" I said sarcastically. "Press the tip" he responded so naturally. I did a little reluctantly at first; everything inside me screamed I was going to cut myself. But I didn't, as I pressed the point the knife slowly shrank according to my pressure. It morphed into a tiny dagger about an inch long. "Great. Now pull out the strings it makes a necklace" my dad added. I couldn't see any strings on the thing, but I pulled the air by the handle of the dagger. As I pulled the strings emerged, I was honestly flabbergasted. I just defied the laws of physics. "Hey sorry to interrupt but we have to go, like right now" Ryan added. "You're bags are packed Hun. Grab them at let's go" my mom exclaimed. I put the necklace on and I ran out the door to the car. "Aaron… Aaron. AARON HIT THE DECK" Ryan screamed. "What?" I couldn't continue my sentence. I felt something like big hands wrap around my upper arm. It all happened so fast. "Aaron!" I heard my mom but it sounded distant. Then I came to my senses, I was in the air getting higher and higher. I looked up and saw a leathery skinned creature. "Aaron Becker, Do not listen to those fools. Come with me" the thing said "Who are you?" I asked. I looked down at me and looked at me, its black eyes looking like they glazed over. "I am one of the three furies" it responded almost in a trance. That stupid thing happened again. You know that feeling when you see something you really want at a toy store, so you try to ask your parents for it. So you try your most persuading voice? That just kind of comes naturally to me. Once I was at a mall with Ryan looking for a new pair of shoes. I was 10 dollars short, but I had a great idea. Maybe I could trick her into believing I had 60 dollars. I went up to her and said I have 60 dollars can I buy these shoes? Her eyes did the same thing, they kind of glazed over and she responded oddly. But long story short I got the shoes for 10 dollars off. I felt really bad after so I didn't do it again. "Sssssss stop charm speaking child" the creature hissed. Charms speak? What is that? "Okay so put me back please?" I asked hoping he would listen. "Yes, that would be good" the creature said. Apparently this 'charm speak' did not last very long, half way back the stupid creature hissed again. But this time I was ready, I was low enough to the ground that I wouldn't be that hurt. I ripped my bronze dagger off of my neck. A part of me thought 'you can't get it off in time, you'll have to pull it off your neck and put the magical strings back to the magical land they came from' but I didn't bother following the logic. I ripped the charm off of my neck and it obliged it just magically came off and grew into a full dagger in seconds. My blood stream filled with adrenalin. I threw my arm up and stabbed the leathery creature. "Aaaaaaaaak" its hands opened up and I fell, maybe the fall was bigger than anticipated. I hit the ground hard, my feet instantly started to burn with intense pain. "You shall pay child!" the thing screeched, before imploding into a pile of dust. "Aaron!" I saw Ryan running to me, what was with his legs? They were fur? My vision started going black, black, then just darkness…
