Nathan's POV

"It can't be him," I heard a deep voice say and then murmuring began in the background.

"Dad, what in the world is going on here?"

"Oh my gods Percy he looks A LOT like you."

"Wait, Annabeth. Don't say that! …. His eyes are prettier,"

"Gods Thalia, they ARE the exact same color as mine!"

"His arm is pretty beat up. It looks awful."

"We can see that Nico,"

"Wait how could a mortal enter camp? Did someone summon him or what?"

"Oh Gods Seaweed Brain, he can't be a mortal. Isn't it obvious? Look at him! He has a celestial bronze sword! "

"But-"

"Wait all half-bloods are supposed to be claimed by their thirteenth birthday. They swore on the River of Styx. He can't be a half blood!" (A/N- Nico said this. I wanted to make sure you readers knew who was saying what. The rest above is easy to figure out.)

Everything went silent. I couldn't hear anyone talking anymore. My head and heart were pounding. This man knew who I was and these crazy teenagers were talking about half-bloods, Gods, and mortals. And I thought Iwas insane!

I suddenly heard soft footsteps come my way. I felt something being pushed into my mouth; it was small and cube-shaped.

"Chew." I heard someone with a soft voice say.

It tasted like my favorite food, brownies. Soft, gooey, chocolate brownies. Like the ones my mom used to make.

I suddenly felt re-energized. My head was back on track. I slowly opened my eyes and everyone was staring at me. Oh and might I add, the man with the scruffy beard, had the lower body of a white horse. What were they supposed to be called? Centaurs? I wasn't really surprised though. These people were NUTS.

"Hi…" I said awkwardly.

They continued to stare at me. The boy with the same color eyes actually did look like me… except my hair was spiked up and his was natural. The man with the green eyes walked towards me, stopped right in front of me, and gave me a stiff hug.

"Hello Nathan."

"Uhhhhhh hey. I'm really sorry for interrupting you guys, it's just something was chasing me and my arm was bro-" My left arm wasn't broken anymore. WEIRD.

"Nathan, I know this is all really crazy. I haven't seen you in eons it seems. You're all grown up now. You look a lot like Percy over there." He pointed to the boy with the same eyes at me. Percy smiled awkwardly.

"Ok? Wait….. How do you know my name?"

"Nathan, I am your father."

I kind of believed him. He said it with so much certain and confidence, but if he really was my father, all I wanted to do was punch him square in the face.

"No way! And I'm Santa Claus! Please, who do you think I am?"

"Santa Claus?" The Goth looking boy answered.

"Nico, shut up!" The girl with the electric blue eyes hissed.

"My father" gave Nico a death glare and continued to speak.

"Nathan. Nathan Marquez,"

"Wait how do you know my last name!" I yelled. This guy was creeping me out. Was he some crazy stalker?

"I am your father, Nathan. You must believe me. For a fact, I know you have your shark tooth necklace in your backpack at this moment. I can feel its aura because I gave it to your mom, Elena, to give to you." He paused.

"Oh Elena was beautiful. It broke my heart to have to leave you after leaving Percy just years before. I had other responsibilities Nathan and I don't expect you to forgive me."

I was lost at words. So supposedly, this dude was my dad. He had Percy (my half-brother?) years before and left them. Then he hooked up with my mom and when she had me all he did was give her my shark-tooth necklace. Then he left us because he had other responsibilities. What type of guy was this? Why was my arm suddenly not broken anymore? What was chasing me earlier? Why had one of the girls said I had a celestial bronze sword? Wait, what in the world is celestial bronze? I didn't know what to do. The teenagers, my half-brother Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and the younger one Nico were watching and hearing our whole conversation as if it was the most interesting thing on Earth. And the centaur was also watching intently, but it looked like he already knew all of this.

"Well can you explain what was chasing me earlier? Where am I? How do you know SO MUCH about me? Why is he," I pointed at the centaur (I didn't even know his name!) "Half horse? Why is everyone here saying God as plural? What is up with you people!" I finished fuming. These people thought this was one big joke. Any second now they were going to jump up and shout, "Just kidding!" And the dude that supposedly was my father would take off his costume and actually be my best friend Chris.

The man took a deep breath. He looked me straight and the eye and began to answer my questions.

"Nathan, you do know about Greek mythology?"

I nodded.

"You have dyslexia because you're brain isn't hardwired for English. Your brain is hard-wired for ancient Greek. You have ADHD because those are your battle instincts. You can't sit still and that is what keeps you alive in battle. You are a hero, Nathan. A demi-god. Half-human, half-God. All Greek mythology is real. All the monsters, the animals, the creatures are real. Chiron here,"

He pointed to the centaur.

"Is the great Chiron who taught many of the famous heroes such as Hercules, Achilles, and Percy right here."

Percy blushed like crazy and the girl with the blond hair (I think Annabeth) began to giggle.

"The thing chasing you was a monster because being a demigod Nathan you attract tons of monsters. And you are in Camp Half-Blood. I assure you, you're safe. Monsters cannot enter,"

Everything came rushing at me all at once, but if I was half-human, half-God, than who was my Godly parent?

"And I Nathan, am Poseidon. God of the seas."

I had forgotten about everyone else in the room so I didn't really expect Percy to walk over to me and say, "Welcome to the family man," he shook my hand and grinned. And for the first time in a VERY long time, I felt like I actually belonged.
