Author's note: Well this is my first story with the Percy Jackson universe, but with my own characters. That's not to say that eventually I won't have the characters meet some of the old characters. Please don't have too much criticism for me. I haven't really written for a year and a half. Anyway I hope you enjoy this first mysterious chapter to my strange story

BEN

I am Ben, your friendly neighborhood mortal. Which means no gods, monsters, or evil entities around to influence my actions(believe me that's happened once already). Of course that means I am no demigod or in any way related to the greek, roman, norse, or any of the other mythological worlds. Despite my mortality I am very much aware of the other worlds. I can see through the mist so to say, although perhaps I am allowed to see through the mist because of who I once was. Any-who, let's not focus on these trepidatious things right now. I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear them. Back to the what is happening right now.

This is the story of my… We'll call them my sons: Ace, Arrow, and Archer, triplets. I am reluctant to tell you some very important details because I haven't yet told them and I don't want you to go and blab to them(I know you would). Today are their 16th birthdays. That is very important for teenagers because they can get their licenses. There is however another reason as to why all of their 16th birthdays are important, unfortunately I am not going to tell you. I promise you that I am not being an ass, I am just trying to keep my sons safe.

Now let's go meet my sons shall we.
