So, you've decided to click on this. No doubt you're looking for a story to take you on an adventure to a far off place you'll never visit yourself, but I have to assure you this all very real. Everything I tell you here is just another chapter in the messed up story that is my life.
My name is Alexis. Alexis North, to be specific. I'm a demi-god. Half god, half human. Before we go any further, I just want to warn you of something. If any of this at all gives you just a tiny little stir inside you, click away, close your browser, and go smash your computer.
Okay, maybe not to that extreme.
Point is, if you feel like you can identify with any of this, stop reading. If you're one of us, then you don't want to be. Our lives aren't fun. They're terrifying and the fact that death constantly looms over us doesn't make it any better either. Look away, distract yourself, just forget you ever felt that way.
Once you're self aware, the monsters come. If you're unfortunate enough to be anything like me, they will come fast. It's up to no one but you to survive, if you don't already have a satyr or a nymph at your side.
But hey, maybe you do. Who am I to judge? I didn't know I did until she turned into a bush right in front of me...but that's besides the point. The point is, if you're willing to take everything I say as fantasy, then please, be my guest and read on.
My name is Alexis North, and this is story of how my life was flipped upside down.
