I have given you a little guide to better understand who all of my OCs in the story are. This is because I don't expect you to remember who everyone is. They will be organized first by parent and then by age. So, I would list the older sibling, then the younger siblings. Also, if they have a nickname that they are called by instead of their name I will put that in parentheses. If I add more characters, later on, they will be in the guide in later chapters. Any characters that are just normal demigods will only be in the cabins section and not in the parentage section. Also, any characters that don't go to camp Half-Blood will be put in the parentage section and not the cabin section. Other than that, here is the new chapter, enjoy!

I tried to put at least one person in every cabin, but there are more people at camp than this. As time goes on I will most likely add more people. If you have any characters you would like me to add to the story. Send me their full name, appearance, personality, and what cabin they are in. Just don't get offended if I turn them evil or something.
Third POV (Zoe is 4)
"Charles! Ethan! Luke! Zoe! We're home!" Will called as he opened the door to the house.
Annabeth and Percy, as a gift from the gods, got a large beach house. It was so empty when they moved in that they invited Will and Nico to live with them. The house was on an isolated island. They walk through a portal to Sally's apartment. They got around from there.
When the had their first twins(Charles and Ethan) Will and Nico helped out. Most of the time it was just Nico and the kids (Nico was the only one without a job). The kids were not the biggest fan of Nico, so they mainly left each other alone. This was true for Charles, Ethan, and Luke, but not Zoe. Zoe liked spending time with her 'uncle'. When Zoe came along, the 4 adults made the decision to not tell her how they got her. As far as the kids knew, the Jacksons had 2 sets of twins.
The adults had also decided that none of the kids would know they were demigods until they were ready to fight off monsters. They were protected in the house but they still went to school. Though, they were not too concerned about monsters until later. This was because the children were legacies, this meant hey had a weaker sent.
Will and Nico decided that they should have their own child instead of just taking care of Percy and Annabeth's kids. They decided that they would look for an orphaned demigod and then adopt him/her. That way not only would they be helping a demigod, but he/she would not feel left out. They called Grover since he is able to sniff out demigods and went searching.
Zoe POV
When I heard Will I raced downstairs. I was so excited to meet my new cousin. (AN: In this story, all the kids called and treat the adults and other kids like family. Even if they are not their direct uncle, aunt, or cousin.) I was thinking about heartstrings and my dreams. At the time I did not know that no one else had the same dreams I did or saw the heartstrings. I did not even know what they meant. Now I do so I might as well explain it.
I have the blessing of Aphrodite. Why? I don't know. The blessing of Aphrodite gives a demigod the ability to see their own and other's soulmates. When a soul is created, it is not created with a soulmate. It is created with possible soulmates. As soon as a soul connects with one of the other possible souls, the two souls become soul mates. After they die and are reborn as different people, but they keep their soulmate. The more lives the people go through, the stronger the connection. If they go through one more the number of lives they have been together alone in a row, their connection breaks. (This means if you have spent 3 lives together and then spend 4 lives in a row without each other the connection breaks. Or if you have spent 5 lives together it would take 6 lives apart to break the connection). As soon as one of the souls has gone through enough lives without his/her soulmate, the connection breaks. After the connection breaks, they go back to having possible soulmates. Only certain beings know about this, a hand full of gods and me.
When looking at it, it looks like a string coming from a person's heart. Whenever I look at a person I see their heart glow a certain color. The color is based on how many lives they have spent with their soulmate. White means they have possibilities. Maroon=1, Red=2, Orange=3, Brown=4, Neon Yellow=5, Tan Yellow(a shade a bit more brown than honey yellow)=6,Neon green=7, Light green=8, Dark/Hunter green=9, Neon/bright blue=10, Light blue=11, Blue=12, Indigo=13, Lavender=14, Purple=15, Grey/Silver=16, Black=17, Gold =18+. After 18 years together their hearts and strings glow gold. That means their soulmate is set in stone and they will never break apart or have a different soulmate, no matter how long they spend apart. There are a few pairs that Aphrodite blesses. She turns their hearts gold to never have another soulmate.
Here where the strings come in. If a person's soulmate is within a 30-mile radius of each other, a string appears connecting their hearts together. Since they are not real strings, they do not get tangled with each other, they just fade through each other. Since our house is on an island, the only strings I saw were The ones between my parents and Will and Nico. When I go into more public areas it can be hard to see over all the glowing colors and it will often give me a headache. It is, for this reason, I internally thank anyone with a white heart. If a person does not have a soulmate and instead possibilities. This means no strings. When a person connects with one of their possibilities, a white string is tied between the two people. Then I have to deal with white strings. Ugh.
For reasons unknown to me at the time, I had (and still get) dreams about my previous lives with my soulmate. I don't know the exact number of lives we have gone through together, it all gets jumbled up. I do know that my heart glows gold. These dreams don't come with the blessing of Aphrodite. I know about my past lives because I am a child of Hades. It is a rare ability for children of Hades, but I can only see the lives I have spent with my soulmate. That or I have not spent life without my soulmate. There are a few other things I can do, but I did not know any of this when I was four.
Now that I got that out of the way, I ran downstairs to greet my new cousin. My brothers were not there yet so I was the first to meet her. When I came downstairs I saw a girl 6-year-old girl holding hands with Will. She had short choppy brown hair and blue eyes. She had a slim but strong build. She was wearing old ratty jeans, worn black flats, and a plain white polo shirt. She stood strong even though I guessed she must have been scared.
I walked over to where she was standing and put my hand out, "My name is Zoe, it is nice to meet you."
She gave a mischievous grin, "Selina."
By then Luke, Charles, and Ethan were behind me. They introduced themselves and Charles and Ethan took Selina on a tour of the house. Charles and Ethan were seven years old, making Selina closer to age with them than me and Luke, but we all got along. Within the next month, Selina was pranking the adults with Charles and Ethan. She did not spend all of her time with them though. She would spend time playing with me and Luke, and she would spend time talking with the adults. To this day I will never understand where or how she fits in. I just know that she is part of the family.
Done! I really meant to have more action for this chapter, but I had to explain the whole soulmate thing and by then I was tired. If you have any questions on how it works I will be sure to elaborate and mention it in future chapters. The next chapter will most likely be me explaining other characters, but stick with me! I made a very elaborate world in my mind. I promise the next chapter will have more interactions. Till next time!
