"Some people aren't loyal to you,

They are loyal to the need of you.

Once their needs change,

So does their loyalty."

His Story

It all begins with Percy Jackson, and the Second Titan war. It all begins with a simple meeting about new recruits, and the ethics behind recruiting newly found young Demi-Gods in a time of war. It is not, in theory ethical. Many Demi-Gods fall during war, but Percy had enough of watching thirteen year old's die. He himself was merely twelve when he began his journey and he even told himself it's what turned him into such an amazing hero, but it's also what cost him his childhood and naivety. It's what cost him his intact personality, and restful nights not plagued by nightmares. So the decision was made one late night after Percy and Annabeth had Iris messaged the CHB counselors and Chiron to hold said simple meeting with all the camp Counselors, the decision to retrieve every Satyr and Demi-God watching any potential newbies from the field, and hope to the Gods that after the war, they will all still be there.

Some were, quite a few actually. Sons and daughters of Aphrodite, children of lesser God's who went relatively unnoticed during the war, a couple kids of Demeter and Apollo. Percy could breathe a breath of fresh air because he hadn't actually screwed up this time, he'd saved some kids lives by keeping them from the war, and retrieved them after the fact with little to no hassle; but Chiron warned him there were strays, and these strays though alive and well were not happy. These strays were street kids, and unfortunates who had been brutally searched out and attacked by countless creatures during the war, kids who were asked to join Gaia's forces by lesser Gods and Goddesses on her side of the war like Khione and exposed to the war despite Percy's best efforts. Chiron warned him that one day; this may turn and bite him in the ass.

Because it's true, one stray's story began when he was forced to enter Gaia's forces at the ripe age of thirteen after being snatched from a perfectly functional home, a son of Apollo exposed to torture and terror. He barely escaped with his life not even a year after the fact, near the tail end of the war, and then he met a Satyr in Seattle who went by the name of Sage, a Satyr who'd been sent away from some Safe Camp for Demi-Gods due to his younger age, and the resentment bloomed. He talked with Sage about the war, without mentioning his own involvement, asked questions about the camp, where it was, what it was like, how old are the Demi-God's there and over and over again the name he heard was Percy Jackson. Then Sage began to talk about Percy and Chiron's unanimous decision to halt the processing of potential Demi-God's in America and bringing them to safety whilst the war was ongoing and it was game over.

Then began his army building, slow and unintentional at first but it grew nonetheless. He would save helpless, stranded Demi-God's of all ages; he'd tell them of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, of the war and the other Demi-God's decision to leave them to their own devices. So they decided to build their own, personal camp in the backwoods of Dakota. With over thirty young Demi-God's living together in one area with no adult voice or help they had many issues, many injuries and a death or two along the way but in the year and a half after their numbers grew they established a stronghold protected by mist developed by the two sons and three daughters of Hecate that had join their forces, and were hardly approached by monsters due to their odd, and difficult to locate area; but when a monster did happen by their stronghold it was easy enough for thirty some Demi-God's to fight it off.

Then the time came for a war, a war against the injustice done to the Demi-God's who'd lost their lives, families and childhoods to the ignorance and well-meaning yet destructive decision of their kind, who had no right to make that decision in the first place; and so a scouting party was created led by the one true leader of the rogue Demi-God's, the first Stray.

Connolly Lorn, Sixteen, son of Apollo, and the rogue Demi-God who vowed to take down Percy Jackson, if it's the last thing he does.

But you can call him Knoll.
