Dear Diary,
Some people came today; odd people. If there is a god - and not many gods - then I would've prayed that they didn't come. Why did they flip my life upside down? Is being an orphan not enough? Not that I particullarly love moving around place to place.
They say there are gods - many gods, and not just one. The Greek ones we learn about in school. Poseidon, Zeus, Athena, Hades, Hecate. All of them. They say I'm a half blood - and a powerful one at that. I never knew any of my parents - I've been an orphan forever - so why is my godly parent? Maybe I'll never know. Maybe I'm okay with that...
But, still, my parenthood is a mystery. Some part of me wishes I knew; though the other part warns me that chaos will ensue if I did know. Oh, the price of being a demigod!
But, I worry. Though, not for myself - how selfish that would be! - but for Nico. He thought this was the coolest thing ever, didn't he? Didn't he know the price of this all? Of course not; he's too young to have all this on him. Maybe I wish that I were an only child, so that he would have some normal fate. We're just two small beings in the grand scheme of things.
Artemis came for us today - she helped. Oh, how shocked I was to see her and her Hunters! Scared me half to death when they came. I wasn't sure why they shunned all of the boys at first - there were only three - as I didn't care much for them in my studies. Hades - god of death - was my favorite. How underappreciated was he!
Artemis wished to know if I would join her hunt. And leave Nico alone . . . Some part inside me willed myself to stay, but how could I? I've never had any friends . . . Only Nico . . . I wanted a life outside of being a sister.
So, I said yes, but I left Nico alone! And all Nico ever had was me.
Oh gods, I'm sorry, Nico.
I'm immortal, and now you're alone.
Bianca
