Aaron Heller's life has never been normal. Even before he was born his parents knew his life would never be. Well, one parent did anyways. You see he has never had a normal life because he isn't even human. Well, he is half human at least. Notice how I said half. You see, he is only half human because the other half is god. Greek god to be specific. Yes, they still exist, and sometimes they come down to Earth and have kids. But enough off topic, this is Aaron's story, and it is about to be told.

500 years ago. Mount Olympus

Zeus could not help but fell bored at the situation he was in. All the Olympian gods, including Hades and Hestia, were called to Olympus for an unknown reason by an unknown caller. As far as he could guess it was just Hermes playing another prank, but as soon as the god of messengers told him that it wasn't him, and he had Artemis read his thoughts just to make sure, he immediately called a meeting for the gods. Whoever this person was they were powerful. Powerful enough to shake the room Zeus was in while it spoke. So he could only assume this person was older than the gods. His train of thought was interrupted by a portal of darkness opening in the throne room and a figure stepping out. The figure was male as far as he could tell, he wore a black tuxedo with stars and constellations on it and his voice was loud and deep. In the deep voice the figure spoke words that echoed off the walls of the throne room. "Greetings gods and goddesses, my name is Chaos, ruler of the void and creator of all" he said to the shocked Olympians. Many of them rose to bow but Chaos waved them off. "No need for bowing," he said ", the respect goes both ways". Zeus rose from his throne and spoke " lord Chaos, " he said " what brings you to Olympus". "I have come this way with warnings of the future, the titan Kronos shall rise again in around five hundred years" he said "however, I have a plan to defeat him" he said. "The fates predicted, that sixteen years before Kronos rises, a child of the big three shall be born and shall be the great hero of the prophecy depicted by the fates at that time" he said. " I however, as I said before, have a plan. You see, around five years before the great prophecy there will be an outbreak of a disease known as the mercer virus. The man who released the virus is a man named Alex Mercer. During his life he released the virus twice. Once by accident, and once on purpose." "But lord Chaos", Athena said" what does any of this have to do with this new prophecy?" She asked. "Well Athena, the second time he released the virus he ended up indirectly killing Collette Heller, wife of James Heller and mother of Aaron Heller and Amaya Heller" He said" The fates decreed that the boy had a gift, you see, as his father gained powers from being infected with the mercer virus the powers were magically transferred into his body, however being alone and on the run from viral beasts, he had been lucky enough to find some, ahhh, godly assistance by his father, Hades." He said, gaining wide eyes and gaping mouths. "Hades? The parent of the great prophecy to come?" Athena said. "Yes, is that okay Athena or must we ask permission? You forget your place Athena, this was decreed by the fates AND me. or do you wish to defy my direct command?" he growled, earning a look of fear from Athena. "I didn't think so. So, that was what this meeting was called for, see you in 500 years." he said, and with that he was gone.

510 years later. New York city. Four years before present day

Aaron, for the past five days had ran. He ran from his dead mother. He ran from the people who looked like monsters. He ran from the MONSTERS that looked like monsters. He just ran. Until he couldn't run anymore, and by then he was outside of the city. All he could think of was his mothers final words. "Look for your daddy sweetie" she said in between sobs. "What do you mean mommy? What's going on" he said confused. "Look for your daddy sweetie" she said, before putting him on the fire escape and telling him to run." Do you mean James?" the boy said, utterly confused. "No sweetie." she said before kissing him on the head." Your other daddy" she said simply before the banging on the door intensified and there was a loud crack. She looked over in horror at the infected pouring through the door before she told him to run and closed the window and the last thing little Aaron saw before he escaped was the monsters attacking his mother, and all he could do was run.

Aaron pushed that thought from his mind. All it would do is make him sad again-'young one', a male voice spoke in his head. He looked around shocked at what he heard. 'It's alright, you'll be safe' the voice said to him. 'How', he thought on his head 'how will I be safe?' he asked. 'Soon, you will have great power, young one very soon', the voice said to him, 'just wait...now' it said and all of a sudden Aaron felt pain surge through his body. The pain ripped and tore and terrified Aaron. He looked down at his hand and was shocked to see that his hand was glowing red. As it glowed small tendrils of flesh and skin erupted from his arms then disappeared back into it. by the time the pain finished, Aaron was crying, and praying in his mind to whoever had spoken to him 'please don't make me a monster' he begged. 'You aren't a monster Aaron.' It said, 'you have great power within you'. 'but what do you mean?' he asked. Before he could get an answer, one of the monster people came out. It made a screeching noise and staggered towards him. 'No', he thought 'not the monsters again. No, No!, NO!' he thought as his hand flew forward in a punch. To his shock, the monster flew back at least fifty feet, impaling itself on the branch of a tree. Aaron looked down at his fist in disbelief, then felt his body collapse and himself start to drift into unconsciousness. Right before he fell asleep he saw a man appear out of the shadows beside him. The man had thick black hair and dark black eyes. His hair was odd but what struck Aaron as familiar was his eyes. They were dark black, just like his. The man picked up Aaron in his arms and before Aaron fell asleep the man said "you are ready". "Who are you mister?" Aaron said before slipping unconscious. The man responded with two words that caught him totally off guard. Two words that made him shudder with what else he didn't know. Two words that changed his life forever. "Your father"

While he was unconscious, Aaron heard snippets of conversations.

"It's him, I'm sure of it." was spoken by the man who said he was his father. "Can you be sure of it Hades?" another voice said, this one was young and female. "Yes, I am." and that was the last thing he heard before he slipped away yet again.

Four years later. Present day. Westover Hall, Maine.

Aaron shuddered as he walked towards the military academy ahead of him. He couldn't help but notice three things. One, it was freaking cold! He wrapped his leather jacket around himself more tightly. He always wore a leather jacket on all his missions and this one was no exception. Along with the jacket he wore a cotton long sleeve shirt, black jeans, converse high tops and gloves with no finger tips from the second knuckle up. He thought about shape shifting another jacket on but decided against it. Now most would be thinking the same thing right now, shape shifting? Yes, Aaron was a shape shifter. Ever since he was ten, after his mother died he had gained incredible abilities over time, which included but were not limited to shape shifting, super human strength and agility, the ability to grow weapons from his hands, a tracking system and a bunch of other goodies. Now, back onto the subject on hand. One, it was cold ,two, the building looked like a medieval castle, how did he know? You see, he spent the last four years of his life living with the gods, one or two at a time. With Athena, she had taught him all about architecture. At first he had thought that what she was teaching him was a bit strange. Why would an operative of the gods need to know about buildings? But he kept his mouth shut and listened. He had learned a long time ago not to damage her pride, and soon he learned that architecture was a very important thing to know. Because his line of work involved a lot of jumping on and climbing on buildings it was useful to know when it was going to collapse beneath your feet or not. All of a sudden he mentally slapped himself. If he wanted to be warm all he had to do was use his powers of his patron, Hestia, goddess of the hearth. You see, after he was found and brought to the gods, they each gave him a blessing, Hestia fire, Poseidon water, Athena wisdom. Thus making him a very powerful demigod. The third thing he thought about was the group of kids walking towards the school in front of him. There was something... off about them the way they talked, which he heard with his super sonic ears, the way they moved, with urgency, and the way they smelled, like... demigods. He decided to test his theory with a small pulse of his radar, a gift from Artemis, goddess of the hunt. When he used it his vision turned orange as a wave of orange washed over the three. As the wave washed over the three his suspicions were confirmed. The girl on the left lighted up blue, signifying a daughter of Zeus. The boy in the middle also was blue, yet another child of Zeus. While the one on the left lighted up grey, a daughter of Athena. He tuned his ears to listen to their conversation." Why are we here again?" the one in the middle whined. Aaron immediately did not like him, he could literally smell this kid's ego. "Because Grover said he found two demigods, and strong ones too." the daughter of Athena said. "If you hate it so much Devin why don't you run back to camp?" the daughter of Zeus said. Devin huffed and kept walking towards the school. All of a sudden, Devin stopped and caused Aaron to walk into him. "What the hell was that for?!" Devin screamed, Aaron simply kept walking. Then Devin made a big mistake, he said "hey jackass! I'm talking to you!". Aaron stopped walking and turned around. The three paled at what they saw as he turned, and for a good reason too. Aaron's face was ruggedly handsome, or at least Aphrodite said so, but what made him scary was the scar he had on the right side of his face. It was jagged and ran from his right temple to his cheek. Aaron had gotten it from when he was attacked by a hell hound when he was 11. Devin froze with fear as Aaron turned slowly and walked towards him his 5'10" posture dwarfing Devin's 5'7". "What was that?" Aaron growled at Devin. "Uhhh...errr..." Devin stuttered as Aaron slowly turned away from him, hearing the two girls laughs at the son of Zeus as he entered the school.
