Introduction

Hello! My name's Calista Alayla Lavino, but you can call me Cally if you want, I'm good with any non-offensive nicknames.

I used to live in Greece with my mom, but we moved to New York when I was 10, due to mom's job offer in NYC. My mom is actually half Greek on her father's side, and half American on her mom's side. I never met my grandmother before, until we moved to her condo in New York. She is a fun grandmother and her stories usually involve the Ancient Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses, and she claims she met one, thanks to grandpa Alexander.

Grandma said she also met my dad, even before I was born. She claims that he was a nice man, always treating mom like a queen. She also said that dad was a God, God of the Sea actually. I don't want to believe that, since they were only myths, despite I'm really interested in Ancient Myths.

My life changed, ever since my mom told me everything I need to know...


"Cal?" I heard my mom, Karissa, call. "Yes mom?" I found her sitting on her bed, holding a stack of pictures.

She smiled at me, and gestured for me to come sit next to her. "You know how your grandmother has been telling stories of your father?"

"Yeah, that he was a Sea God." I rolled my eyes.

"She's not lying." She confirmed. Is my mom crazy? "Mom, they're myths, how could dad be a Sea God? You said he was a cute, chubby fisherman that smells like the sea almost every date you went out with."

Her smiled softened as she kissed my forehead. "Sweetie, just believe me. Once he claims you, you'll understand."

"Claim me? What do you mean 'claim me'? Mom, please, tell me the truth."

No response. Just tears falling on her pictures...

Everything became blurry after that. I never spoke to mom until the day before my birthday (September 18)

"Mom... Tomorrow's my birthday... I thought, you could tell me the thing you said before... About dad claiming me." I whispered, tears already forming. "I guess, it's the right time to call him to pick you up." Pick me up? "Mom, what do you mean? Please, I'm already confused."

She gave me a hug, the last hug I ever had from mom. "He'll explain, he'll bring you to a safe place." She kissed my head one last time, before pulling away and getting my backpack from my closet. "When did you packed my things?" I asked, dropping all the sadness in my question. "2 months after our last conversation about your father." She answered, swinging my backpack on my bed. "Cal, promise me you'll stay safe"

"I promise."


That was the last thing I said to mom, after Demetrios, my best friend who is surprisingly a satyr, picked me up and drove me to a place called Camp Half-Blood, where "special" kids like me stay and train for safety.

The day after, I was claimed. A glowing green trident appeared, shocking everyone in camp, even a guy named Percy, who is now my older half-brother.

"All hail Calista Lavino, daughter of the Sea."

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood"

Was all the head counselors can manage.
