Things change. They never stay the same, and if they do how long will that last. One act can make every thing into something it was never to be. So who's to say what life can bring up.

AUSTIN QUEEN

"Austin?" I heard a voice call from my left snapping me out of my thought.

"Hmmm" I looked to the flight tenant. She was smiling nicely down at me.

"Will be landing in Florida soon please put on your set belt." With that she walked off to help another flyer.

Here I was Florida. I haven't been here yet and I thought starting on the south beaches would be fun. See I never stay in one place for too long. I want to see the world and I have seen a lot of it, too. It takes me a long time to travel from place to place because I like to live the places in full. Going to every great landmark or store they have.

I left the airport with no heavy luggage just my backpack that had a few clothes in it that's all. I get a lot of odd looks sometimes. Being a sixteen year old boy traveling all alone is something to question, but I don't mind. My father, Robert, would come with me but he's an CEO of his own company so he does not really have the time to. He wanted me to have fun so he let me go. There was not much for me to do at home being an only child and all.

Suddenly the noise in my stomach brought me to my senses to find a Wendy's or something.

I didn't find a Wendy's, but I did find a hot dog stand. I bought two hot dogs and three bottles of water. Weird right. Not all that food is for me. There was a homeless man sitting ten feet away so I gave him an hot dog and two bottles. He thanked me, I said just happy to do my part.

"Hey! Wait up." A male voice called from behind me when I stared walking on the docks.

I turned to see a boy my age sixteen or seventeen, I would say. "Hello friend." He looked shocked I called him friend. He was just some random person after all, but that's how I am. Just a friendly guy. "Is there something you need help with?"

"I'm Luke." He said holding out his hand.

I shook it, as it would be rude not to. "Austin."

"I think we can help each other."

I did not know what he meant by that, but after saying there's a reason why I can control plants I had to go. Okay he did not say plants. Just that there's a reason why I have a strange gift that no else has.

He toke me to his ship 'Princess Andromeda' and on that ship he showed me a coffin. Kronos' coffin. You know the story of the Titan that ate his kids. Yeah, that titan.

"The gods don't care about us Austin. They never will. With the Titans ruling it would be so much better for everyone." Luke tried to tell me but I was having a hard time hearing him.

I tried to laugh like this all was a big joke but it sounded like I was trying to get out of something kind of laugh. "The gods aren't real. This Titan is not real. They're just stories, myths."

"No my friend they are real, they live and they would sooner watch you die than help you." I just stared at him. He had to be insane. "I am Luke, son of Hermes."

"Yeah that's, uh cool. So who's my god?" I could tell I was looking at him like I was talking to some mental patient by the hard look he gave me.

"I can't tell you that. You godly parent has to claim you but most children never get claimed."

"Oh that sucks, I guess." He glared at me.

"We- " Luke go cut off when a bear man started waking to the door. "What is it!"

"Intruders." Was all he said.

"Agrius, Oreius get them." Luke said. Oh, I forgot to mention that they are twin brothers that look like half bear and half man.

They stomped out and I could hear the foot steps of other people running. This kid was crazy. "Grab him." He said, looking at me. That just proved it.

They brought me to a cage far down in the ship and locked me in for what felt like hours. I was alone for a while, and then the guard brought three more teens down and put them in their own cages.

They must have seen the look on my face because one of the boys soon said, "I'm Percy."

"Austin." Was all I could say. I was too busy staring at the other boy, who had one eye in the center of his head.

"That's Tyson. He's a cyclops. This is Annabeth." The girl looked really upset.

"Why are you on this ship?" Annabeth asked.

She looked like she knew the answer but wanted me to say it. "Luke thinks I'm a son of a god."

"Demigod." Percy said. "Are you?" I just shrugged. Like I knew. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. Annabeth is daughter of Athena."

"Okay." I sounded like a fool but I did not know what was happening and part of me did not want to know.

"We need to get off this ship." Percy was now looking around the cells or cages. "We have to get to the sea of monsters."

"I know Thalia's tree won't last much longer." The daughter of Athena said with a sad tone.

"I might be able to help." I sputtered. As they just looked at me a pulled some seeds out of my pocket as they just looked at me I put them in the lock of my cell and green leafs stared goring out of it. Vines rapped around the backs and the lock broke.

"You can help us more then you know." Percy said as I broke there locks the same way.

As we ran out the cells Percy stopped. "You have to go to Camp Half-Blood."

"Camp what?"

"It's a camp for our kind." Annabeth said looking around to make sure no one was coming. "I can tell you how to get there but it will be up to you from there."

"I'll try to get there fast."

"They can tell you more about all this, but we have no time right now. So let's go." Percy said starting to walk once more

ALEX LUPINE

My ebony boots clanged against the black marble floor along with the rest of my armor as I walked through my mother's castle in the Void.

I guess you might want to know who I am and who my mother is. Well, my name is Alex Lupine and I am the only mortal son of Ananke, Primordial Goddess of Necessity and Fate and mother of THE Fates. The armor wear is a dark ebony with gauntlets and boots being made to look like wolf claws and my helm was formed into a snarling wolf's head. My enchanted pouches are always strapped to my thighs and my sword hangs at my waist. It was a katana made of a mix of Celestial Bronze and Stygian Iron.

Under the armor though, I had a defined runner's build and stood at a solid six feet. My skin was a light tan from my traveling, my hair was a dark brown, almost black and my eyes are ever shifting from light brown to deep red.

I reached a pair of ten foot tall doors but continued to walk as they opened before me and closed as soon as I passed. At the end of the room in a large black throne raised up on a dias was a women with very light, but not quite pale, flawless skin. Her eyes were a rosy red and her hair was glossy black with strips of light brown through it. She wore a black strapless dress with a large silver book on her lap.

I stopped a few feet in front of her I got on one knee before speaking in my deep, yet smooth voice, "I have completed my quest mother."

She gave a kind smile and made a gesture for me to come forward. I did so with a matching smile of my own as she got down off her throne and gave me a gentle hug that I returned.

Her voice was gentle and caring as she spoke, "I always get nervous when I send you out. I just wish you would accept godhood already and be done with putting you life in danger."

I gave a little chuckle, "and waste all my time watching everyone else risk their lives while I sit idle and do nothing? You know I can't do that, my pseudo immortality is more than enough."

Sighing she got back up on her throne knowing that another attempt to make me a god had failed.

"Well then you better get ready for your next quest because this one could very well effect the fate of Olympus and those arrogant Olympians."

Oh Chaos, do those stuck up immortals annoy me. I may have never met them but I know what they have done in their lives and from what I have seen, the only level headed immortal is Hestia.

I steeled my nerves though and sucked it up, "what is my quest?"

Closing her eyes for a second she opened them and said, "you must find the Spirit of Sparta in Death Valley. From there you must find the chosen demigods to aid you. When that is done you must bring them here. Now go forth champion and remember, be nice to your sisters." She said that last part with a smirk.

Giving my own in return and disappear in a red flash courtesy of my mother. When I reappeared I found that I was in the middle of Manhattan.

Groaning in annoyance I say, "Mooom. Couldn't you have at least put me in California instead of all the way across the country."

Steeling my features I headed off west to find this Spirit of Sparta and get on with the rest of my quest.

DARING VOLT

"Where are we going? Why do you need a walking stick? Is that a bird? How long will it be?" I tried to tune Thea out but it was hard.

I turned to look at the girl. "Stop! We'll be there soon."

I was hoping for that to be the end, but it was not. "STOP? We have been walking for like seven hours, let's take a break."

"It's been one hour."

"Whatever! If you're a goat, why are you wearing pants and shoes?"

"I'm half goat! I told you this! It's called being a Satyr. And I have to wear this stuff when we are around people." I said looking down at my clothes.

I guess I could see why she was questing me. I had green shoes, dark blue jeans and a pink zip up hoodie. I had the hood up and I was wearing an gray beanie. I did have to carry a cane around to make it look like I had a walking problem. I have brown hair. The hair on my head is shaggy and goes over my eyes a little. I have a goatee that hangs an inch or two from my chin and kind of goes up the sides of my jaw a bit. My eyes are deep light-brown. I don't have big thick muscle like the other satyrs, but I'm tall at 5'9 and have tough muscle over my body. I have a nice smile but I can not give someone a good death glare to save my life. My skin is tan because I spans all my free time it the sun. My ears are pointed like a goats. My horns go back in a wave. They are about 8 inches long. When I'm at camp I don't wear any thing but my black belt that has pouches on it and a orange cloth around my right ankle.

"You look stupid."

"Oh you one to talk! An orange and yellow and white tie-dye long sleeve shirt. Pale gray shorts and brown ankle sandals. AND three metal chain necklaces!"

"To be fair if her hair was not auburn and her eyes yellow it would look weird but she pulls it off." Jessica said.

Jack just nodded. "It makes the little 5'6 girl look normal."

"Little! You're 5'7 Jack! That's one inch more you fool." Thea was an emotional one.

I just sighed, they stated another random conversation, with nothing of importance.

Another one of the demigods I picked up, Jessica Stalen, 16, light brown eyes with a gold ring. Her hair is a glossy black with a platinum streak through it. Straight and reaches to her mid-back. Shes 5'9 too. She looks lightly muscled but still very feminine, very agile and fast and can draws guys attention. While we're traveling she is wearing a white tank top with a peacock on the back, lightly faded pair of skinny jeans, silver running shoes, and a mood ring on her right hand. When I first meat her she was cold but she soon warmed up to

me-ish, she warmed up to me-ish.

Now Jack is 18, 5'7, with sandy blond hair. Stormy ocean gray eyes. Thick muscle that makes him look like a surfer. He has four claw mark scars on the left side of his head, they look like they could be made from a large animal. A white hoodie with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black jeans, and black converse. A gold and bronze bracelet that is four inches in width. A bronze bracelet on his other wrist. The gold and bronze bracelet turns into a dark gold and celestial bronze roman shield with a three and half foot long celestial bronze sword strapped on the inside. He said he got it from his mother when he turned fourteen. Oh, his mom is Athena, by the way. He was cold to me, too. We're friends now. I think. But he's still sarcastic.

I think I should just say this Thea's 16. And Thea is now playing mind games with Jack making him very confused.

"WE NEED TO MOVE!" I yelled. They stopped and so did everyone else who was walking on the sidewalk. I pulled Thea wrist and the other followed. "So Jessica If you made it to camp why did you leave?"

She looked at me with little to no shock. "I wanted to do more then just sit in one place." I think she's bored. Yeah, getting chased by monsters is boring to Jessica.

"Well thanks for helping me. It's always fun to have a friend with you."

She smiled. "The company's nice when traveling."

"Well, I think we should try to get back to camp now." They all seamed to be fine with that. I wish we could have just made a beeline to camp from Texas, but there are a lot of monsters in the way if we did that. So we need to go northeast, if we have to. Which we do. This will be a long journey.

I wish it started off on a better note, but I found Thea first. She was hard to talk to at first. Her mother Gwen had to tell her she had to go. After a few hours of hard interrogation we left and ran into Jessica. Well, Thea ran into Jessica knocking them both into an old lady, who was not an old lady. She was an Sphinx and asked "What goes on four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"

I thought we where going to die, but Jack walked up next to me and said, "Man, who as a baby crawls on four legs, then walks on two legs as an adult and in old age walks with a cane as his third leg..." The Sphinx looked out raged. "If you wanted to trick us you would not ask the same you asked of Oedipus." That made her really mad because she attacked us and if it was not for Jack and Jessica we would have died.
