AN: Due to a reviewer being confused about Daniel's powers and how he uses them here is a summary of his abilities aside from the common Demigod abilities.

Aerokenesis: Due to his disability and subconscious suppression of his Beauty Allure he gained the attention of the domain of Air and Wind. He has the ability to create Wind Blades and Wind Blasts anywhere near him. The Wind acts as his eyes allowing him to 'see' all around him to a degree or focus on an area away from himself which leaves him vulnerable. It also colours his perspective of certain people as his trust in Wind is absolute. His 'sight' is not perfect and several problems will be addressed during the Quest of the Lightning Thief.

Amokenesis: Daniel can manipulate love like his Mother but ignores this due to not knowing what people look like together (He doesn't want to be the reason for ugly coming into the world). However, due to his past with his Father he cannot use this ability in regards to himself i.e. he cannot manipulate someone to love him or sense if they do even on their own accord.

Beauty Allure (suppressed): Like all children of Aphrodite, Daniel is beautiful and gives of an aura that draws out his Mother's domains. He sees this as the reason he lost his eyes and ignores it to the best of his ability which in turn has caused it to be suppressed by his subconscious.

Chlorokenesis (limited): Inherited from Aphrodite, Daniel can encourage growth of flowers and maintains a small healthy garden outside his Cabin.

French: Daniel has an instinctual grasp on French that rivals his Ancient Greek.

Reality Warping (limited): Due to his suppression of his Beauty Allure he manifested this ability from Aphrodite. It is limited to conjuration of simple objects or altering existing objects. Daniel can not use this to conjure or manipulate godly metals or food. He also cannot alter something imbued with godly energy by another Demigod no matter their power.

Swordsmanship: Initially guided by instinct and the Wind, Daniel was a formidable swordsman from first grabbing a sword. Since then he has worked hard to be a competent swordsman and is one of the few to make Luke work for his wins.

In Short due to the loss of his eyes Daniel has been forced to evolve spiritually. While not as vain as his siblings he dislikes ugly things whether they are physically ugly or feels ugly. Due to him not being able to see beauty anymore he has given some more thought to what his Mother's domains are about and is able to respect anything peripherally to do with them as seen when he met the Hunters of Artemis who gave up lust towards Males (their thoughts on Lesbianism is unclear but I doubt it is too harsh) in favour of gaining a familial love.

I reflected on my life for the past year as I waited to be called into the classroom I was going to be stuck in for the next nine months as I acted as backup for a satyr that had found a potentially powerful demigod. I was chosen since I was powerful myself and had a weak scent, however that worked. I also wanted to spend some time away from my siblings since they had gotten it into their heads that it was time I started dating. I had nothing against it but no one in Camp caught my attention that way and I was at odds with half the Camp since I couldn't help but be hostile towards Luke Castellan because the Wind really didn't like him for some reason that not even I knew but I trusted the domain and as such didn't trust him.

I had made it to Olympus just as the Demigods had settled themselves and earned a small amount of respect from Hera for being willing to take her as she treated me. Thanks to that small fact Zeus had not only let me keep my connection to Wind, whose whispers I would have dearly missed, but made a point to talk about some of his children that used Wind themselves and what they could do with it. Whoever said Zeus wasn't subtle was in for a shock when it came to bite them in the arse. After that I had focused mainly in gaining new tricks with Wind and Reality Warping.

"You can come in Daniel." Chiron said in his Mr Brunner disguise knocking me out of my thoughts. I walked into the class and heard their mutterings about my blindfold, I wasn't going to waste effort using the Mist to hide it especially as Hecate would most likely have fun with where my 'eyes' would look. "Please introduce yourself."

"My name is Daniel Lake, yes I'm blind but that's because I have no eyes and no I don't have any special needs that will inconvenience any of you." I said politely before a dark smile appeared on my face. "Also don't be too surprised if bullies suddenly find that I'm not an easy target, I don't stand for it." I knew it wouldn't actually deter the bullies but with the warning out there then anything I did was seen as there fault. It wasn't like they would get any sympathy for trying to pick on a blind kid.

"Yes, well…" Chiron said slightly exasperated with my attitude but not surprised in the least. "There is a seat next to Percy. Three up and on our right." I nodded and easily found it despite 'accidently' standing on someone's ankle when there foot appeared in my way.

"Hi, I'm Percy Jackson and that's Grover Underwood behind me." The boy to my right said trying to be polite. I knew right away that he was the Demigod and not because Grover was near him. It was because the Wind sang around him much like it did around Aphrodite, it sounded like an Opera around Zeus much to my discomfort.

"Thanks." I said with a smile wondering who his Parent could be as not many had a connection to Wind.

"You would thing they would give up after seeing how bad their aim was." I complained to Percy, who had quickly became a friend even if his habit of acting before thinking was annoying, and Grover, who was the target of the paper balls being sent at us.

"Bullies aren't known for their mental capabilities Daniel." Grover said sending me a grateful look since he knew I was the reason the ones that were on target missed. I gave him an almost unnoticeable smirk as another paper ball was thrown but hit the thrower in the face as the wind picked up.

"I'm just glad you stopped saying Nancy has a crush on me." Percy said shaking his head while I sighed inwardly. The reason I stopped saying it was because it was clear he didn't believe me. That and the fact Nancy had been one step off of begging me to stop saying it as she had a reputation to uphold. I did it on the condition that she stopped picking on Percy and Grover, citing that bullying them would only bring negative feelings to her. Aside from a few names and calling Percy out an a few stupid things he did she had kept up her side.

"So do you plan on heading to your Mom's for the Christmas Break? I know you miss her." I asked with a smile liking how much Percy loved his Mortal Parent. It was good that not all of us had bastards like mine. In fact, the way he spoke of her reminded me of my Mother and how she was with me and my siblings, just minus the whole heartbreaking encouragement, love for drama and annoyingly detailed sex talk.

"Yeah I do and guess what. I asked her if you could come with too since you didn't have any plans and she said yes." Percy said with a smile in his voice surprising me. I had mentioned that my Mother was often out of the State, not a lie considering Olympus wasn't a State, and that I stayed with a Family Friend that Fostered a lot of children that didn't have anywhere else to go, Chiron's eye had twitched when he overheard that.

"Are you sure that's okay? I don't want to impose and I don't want trouble to start." I asked hinting at his stepfather who sounded like a right dick. It would also explain how Percy had gone so long without being found.

"Mom insisted when I explained things and Smelly Gabe won't start anything with a blind guy." Percy said before snorting. "It isn't like you don't get in trouble anyway. Somehow everything always ends up someone else's fault when you're around." I merely allowed a smug smile on my face at how easy it was to get the bullies in trouble.

"Alright I'll come but only because she insists."

"You know, I've always wondered how you get around the city." Percy said as we got our bags out of the cab he hailed for us while I paid the driver exactly what was due. "I mean, this place is always busy and a lot of people can knock you a bit."

"Actually people are considerate for the most part. They see the blindfold and make some space for me while I can avoid the few that don't. It also helps that most store owners are willing to give directions." I said with a laugh as I took my bag from him. "Well let's get in there before your Mom starts worrying."

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up." He said as I followed him, adjusting to the difference of the Wind with practiced ease. When he opened the door to the apartment I almost fainted from the smell alone. "Are you alright?"

"Sorry, the smell just overwhelmed me for a moment." I said wafting the smell away from my nose and using the wind to keep it away from my nose from now on. Of course this confirmed my theory about how he wasn't found. I'm pretty sure that even Monsters would gag from this stink.

"Sorry about that." He apologised before turning away from me. "MOM I'm home!" I shook my head in amusement as we reached the Sitting Room only for Percy to be engulfed in a hug by someone female. I couldn't help but be impressed by the amount of love the two had for each other.

"Oh Percy, you grow every time I see you. It won't be long before you will tower over me." She said causing Percy to whine a little much to my amusement. Unfortunately we three weren't the only ones in the room.

"Yeah he's back with a friend. Now can you finish making that dip?" An unpleasant voice demanded making my skin crawl. I could tell from the way Percy acted that this was Smelly Gabe, and by rights did he deserve that name, and my vanity was having a heart attack at being so near him. I had to wonder how ugly he was that a blind boy could tell.

"One moment Gabe, we have a guest." Sally said in a tired voice that she tried to hide making me wince inwardly. It couldn't be easy living with such a man in order to keep your son safe. "Hi there I'm Sally, Percy's Mom."

"It is nice to meet you, I'm Daniel." I said with a nod and smile. I would have a chat with Aphrodite to see if we could get Sally a nice guy once Percy learned the truth of Greek Mythology. I could tell that staying here was going to be a mixed bag.

"What do you mean Percy is being blamed? He doesn't even know about all of this so how could it be him that stole the Bolt." I demanded of Chiron after returning from the Christmas Holidays. "Although, it does explain why Mom gave me a sword for a present when she dislikes that I train."

"It is believed that Percy is Poseidon's son." Chiron said making me groan as that was all Zeus needed as proof. "All we can do is watch over him and keep him safe." I sighed knowing that would be more difficult than before as I wouldn't put it past Zeus to send a few Monsters after Percy and that wasn't counting whatever Hades would do after finding out Poseidon also broke the Oath they force him into.

"I will keep that in mind when I patrol to get rid of the ones I attract." I said in annoyance. While I didn't have much scent there were a few Monsters that tried to go after me thinking I was easy prey. They quickly found out otherwise, except one hellhound that just loved to challenge me for some reason.

"On another note, I need you to follow Cecily home today. I believe that she would be best joining the Hunters if my suspicions are true." I sneered as there was only one thing that would have Chiron recommend exposing our world to a normal person rather than just dealing with the problem. It was also something some of my siblings had to go through when Aphrodite misjudged a lover which gave me a special hatred of those that thought it was fine.

"Fair enough, do you know where I can get a rainbow to talk with the Hunters?" I asked making him reach to his side and pull out an inactive water feature. I got a drachma out of my pocket as I shook my head. "Well that is handy. Lady Artemis."

"Hello Daniel, it has been a while. I take it I'm about to have a new Hunter." Artemis said with a hint of respect to her tone. I had been sending any girl I didn't think would do well in Camp her way and none so far had regretted it.

"Chiron has seen certain signs in one of my classmates. I think it is time for her and her Father to disappear. Are there any Hunters that are needing to work on their aim?" I asked with a smirk that I knew the Maiden Goddess was mirroring.

"There are always a few that wouldn't mind pushing themselves. I'll send Zoe to collect her, I assume that you're at Nancy Academy." The Goddess said with pain promised in every word. I nodded knowing she could see it. "Good, we aren't too far from New York. How was your Christmas? Your Mother and siblings missed you and made sure everyone knew it." I chuckled imagining how annoying that was for the other Gods and Campers.

"Mostly good. Sally reminds me of the less embarrassing parts of Mom so I'll be speaking with Mom about getting her someone worthy of her. Percy is the same as always and clearly clueless about our world. Gabe, let's just say that you and Mom would both agree that he is everything bad about the male gender." I could tell she was surprised by that considering that no one knew better than the children of Aphrodite and Hunters of Artemis how the two Goddesses hated each other.

"Be that as it may, you have a classmate to take care of."
