It was a normal night. A very large man stood in front of a building. On it, it read "North Portland Orphanage". The large man laughed darkly. He would finally have his revenge against that damned Goddess of Wisdom and her stupid husband. That damned sea-spawn turned god will pay. He had his revenge, at least in part, already. Separating the child from them, and then taking their memory. HA! No one will ever remember him. Only one thing could ever do that, and he highly doubted that that stupid old Titan will ever help them. Especially it being that Titan. He laughed to himself again. His first part of the plan was complete. He looked down at the child and smiled slightly. He honestly had nothing against the child, in fact, in the time he had been with it, he had grown fond of the child. He had made the child a half-blood, so no god would ever sense him. It made sense to the large man. They had named the child Kai. Kai meant Spiritual Ocean after all. It made him chuckle slightly. He should probably just kill the boy, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He honestly liked the child, which is why he was letting him stay here. The man left a note on the child's chest and sighed. He honestly felt for the boy, deeply confusing him. His father had killed the his mother after all, before she could rise, and the boys mother. That damned Goddess would pay. The man stood up, and left. But not before growing to his full 20 foot tall form. He knew he would see the boy again some day. After all, he was born to appose the wisdom goddess.

Kai grew up like a normal kid. Well, as normal as he could be, being an orphan. The caretaker there was nice enough, so he was treated well. She told him that he had simply showed up one night, with a note that read "For whom it may concern, this boys name is Perseus. Tell him to one day, go to New York. He will need to someday." That day was coming up fast. After 13 years of being in that Orphanage in Portland, he was finally leaving. He had worked any odd jobs around the town, from painting and babysitting, to sweeping after the starlight parade. But of course, he would not be going alone. His close friend Colin Crandall, who was pretty much as moody as you can get. He was handsome, in his own way. Yes his teeth were a little crooked, and he had freckles. But his eyes, those dark dark eyes that could glare the life out of you, were the most amazing things to Kai. No, Kai was not gay, but he had to admit Colin was good looking. He would not talk to anyone ever, well except for the few that had gained his trust and companionship. Kai was one of the very few that had. Colin and he had been friends for years, and were now going to New York, as Colin did almost every summer. (Thank you colin0513 for this OC) Kai on the other hand, had always been a very outward person. Always talking loudly and being friendly with anyone, he was looked upon with weird gazes and always did his best to make people laugh and feel good. He hated seeing people sad and did anything he could to make his friends, and even stranger, happy. He was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia as a young child. That didn't stop him from being the best student in his school though. He was practically a genius. Though most people only ever noticed his physical stature. He was 6' tall and was well built, having very defined muscles. He had medium length hair. His eyes were a sort of gray-green, and always full of excitement. Kai had been looking forward all year to this trip. He and Colin were boarding the plane. It was gonna be a long time before they got there.

"So, Colin, you excited bro?" Kai asked. poking his friend in the shoulder. Colin rolled his eyes.

"Oh ya, so excited for a long ass plane ride, with a hyped up child." He said before he smiled and laughed a little, a rare occasion.

"Oh, shut up Colin. You know you love me. Anyway, what are you gonna do when we get there?"

"I have camp, remember? That's why I go every year. What about you, Kai?"

"Well, I think I'm gonna just explore Ney York for a while. You know, I really feel like I should go to the beach there though."

"Well, you have fun with that. I'll see you around when we get there, but not too often. Okay?" Kai started to look a little more depressed at that, but lightened up. He could never stay sad for long, and when he did, it was always a bad time for everyone.

"Okay Colin. Oh look, we're about to land." Kai said and waited to de-board the plane. When they did, they each said looked at eachother and sighed.

"Well, Colin. I guess i'll be seeing you sometime. Hey, be safe though okay? I don't want my best friend getting hurt. I'll be seeing you Colin!" Kai told him as he pulled him in for a bro hug.

"You to Kai, be seeing you. You stay safe." Colin said as he started walking away. Kai then began to walk around the city. It was so pretty, but to him, nothing would ever beat Portland. A few times, he thought he caught people staring at him weirdly. He ignored them and kept walking. Maybe he looked out, because of his tan. After a while, he felt himself at the beach. The sign said Montauk. Kai had always been drawn to the beach, but he truly felt like he belonged here, at this beach. And that made him feel weird. He saw a woman there, talking with a man. Kai let his better judgment go to waste, and walk over to them. He was about to say hi when the woman looked at him, jumped up, and hugged him, thoroughly confusing him.

"PERCY! IT'S BEEN FOREVER!" The woman yelled.

"Uhmmmm, excuse me? My name is Kai. I'm sorry." He chuckled nervously, and the lady grew very red. She let out a small laugh.

"Oh dear, i'm sorry. You look so much like my son. I'm sorry. Haahahaha. My name is Sally, Sally Blofis, and this is my husband Paul Blofis. You said your name is Kai?"

"Errr, yes. I'm from Oregon. I'm sort of new around here. I absolutely love the beach, and this one I just felt drawn to. I've always been attracted to it you see. I feel like the water is part of me sometimes." He laughed and watched as the woman eyes grew wider before becoming normal. This greatly confused him.

"Really? That's interesting. So, what brings you here?"

"Well, i'm an orphan and when I was younger, I was left with a note that told me to come to New York when I was older. I', thirteen now and i'm just waiting for something to happen." Sally looked mildly surprised. As she was about to say something, Kai noticed a man walking towards them. Kai remembered that he had seen him looking at him earlier. He looked angry and hungry. As he approached, Sally let out a scream, and the man's form flickered, between a man and some sort of creature. When it finally rested on the monster form, a dangerous looking beast was left in its place. It stood tall, on the legs of a man, but his torso was hairy. But the most suprising thing of all, was the bulls head that was where his head should be. The beast snorted and pulled out an axe, shaped like the greek Omega. Kai simply looked on with fear, when out of now where a voice sounded.

"Kai, your time has come. It's time you realized your true identity. Fight with this weapon, the last weapon I used, in a fight I lost my life in. The Giant thinks I would not help you, but he was wrong. Now wield my sword, and defeat the Minotaur!" the ancient voice sounded. Kai, while being incredibly confused, looked to Sally and Paul, who looked fearful for their lives. Kai had no clue what was going on, or who that voice had belonged to, all he knew is he would not allow these two people to be hurt be this creature. He felt a new weight enter his hand, and looked down in shock. Because where nothing had been in his hand before, he now had a sword in his hand. A beautiful, and very deadly looking, half bronze and steel sword. He looked up, and looked at the beast with a deadly glare, and let loose a guttural roar as he charged the beast with his weapon.

Well that was interesting guys. Hahahahahah btw, I changed my pen name. Anyway, what do you guys think? Longer eh? Sorry if doesn't match up with Forbidden Fruits exactly, but I just made this up on the spot. Hahahaha, anyway, read and review. Love you all. And again, thank you colin. Also, check out Anaklumos14, he's probably my greatest inspiration to write now-a-days. Love you all. Peace out.
