Daley Buttons started as a person with grey eyes and a sharp attitude. No name, no story, just she had grey eyes.

Then she was a murder mystery where she was hunted because she was part God and killing her killers.

Then she was a realistic fiction story about how she dies every eighteen years.

After that she was a wizard who hexed professor Snape.

Then she returned to being a Demigod who destroyed CHB.

And now you have current Daley Buttons where Leo was ejected off the ship and she lives in the Mare Nostrum.

Daley Buttons, as you can see, has lived many lives.

Thank you so much.

Daley made Hazel drop the Calvary sword and then brought her in. She sat her down on the opposite sleeping mat and wrapped her in a blanket as she threw herbs into a pot over the fire. Her glasses were firmly in place so they wouldn't fall off, but she had the sneaking suspicion that Leo had announced that her eyes were completely grey.

Hazel was soaked the bone. Her thick, frizzy black hair was matted to her head and the little bit of mascara that she wore was dripping in streaks down her angled face. Her teeth knocked together like the knocking skeleton she so often felt like. The blanket appeared to be a fur of sorts and was actually very soft and warm. She curled up in its embrace and studied Daley. Leo made her sound like she was an alien, but she didn't look all that different. The glasses were the only truly odd thing about her.

"Leo told us a lot about you."

"Like what? He probably told you I was a recluse."

"No. Leo told us that you had swords of extreme power and no sense of humor."

"You suspect I'm an essence."

"Well, Nico and I have been talking and it seems the only reason you would be the way you are is if you were an essence."

"Well you a Nico are wrong. I'm not an essence. I've lived here my whole life with a couple others scattered in the area. There's a lot of magic here, it causes mutations."

"Your eyes are grey."

"I'd been hoping that you wouldn't bring it up."

"Well, it was the general buzz around the Argo II."

"I didn't know I was that popular."

"Well there's one more thing."

"What?"

"You need to come back with me. You may be the person we've been waiting for to unlock the Athena Parthenos."

"News flash, child of riches. You may be able to summon many things, but not me."

Daley's glasses flew off leaving blazing almond shaped eyes where human eyes should have been. Air and grey energy whirled around here and ejected Hazel out of the cave with the force of a flatbed pickup truck. She skidded across the snow and was covered and was stuck in a snowdrift up to her neck. Daley looked at her, roughly shut the curtain and didn't look back.

"Help!" Hazel yelled. She was going to die of hypothermia out here.

A blond figure zoomed across the horizon. Jason swooped down and picked up Hazel and carried her back to the ship. "I take it she said no." Jason said.
