Vagrant
He was a vagrant, yet again. He wondered when the God's would finally do their own dirty work. When they would show their own mortal children, who they claimed to love so very much to Camp Half Blood. But no, he will again be leaving the confines and safety of Camp Half Blood to go be a teacher at a school, because a satyr had found another half-blood, who was very powerful, in his opinion. The kid's name, Percy Jackson, is the age of twelve, and weight, he didn't know. Now don't get him wrong, he loved his students, and found teaching to be a wonderful experience. He loved to share his stories form millenniums of experience, and safely guide a half-blood through life until hey reached an age where they could fend for themselves in the world of monsters, demons and evil. However, with the great prophecy seeming to come true before his eyes, he did not want to see another one die. To become attached and loose another student hurt him deeply.
However, his least favorite part of leaving home was about to come up. The government paperwork. America is a democracy, much like Ancient Greece was a Republic. They debated everything, and needed a whole lot of forms filled out so they could appropriately keep track of everyone. However, being so old, every time he left he needed a new identity. And with this creation of a new identity, he had no priors to show on his "applications." A tedious, and boring questionnaire that was his ticket in the door, and the manipulation of the mist his answer to a securing a job. However, sometimes, when they looked through his application at a later date, they noticed that he had no address to contact job him at, prior job experience, or even schooling. Of course they never fired him, but it raised unnecessary questions.
And so he wondered how long until he not needed, and faded into oblivion was. Or how much longer he was to see his students die early deaths. Or even, when the Gods would actually claim all their children, and lead them to the safe arms of Camp Half Blood to guide them into adulthood. He wondered how much longer he would seem to be a vagrant on his applications until someone changed the system. Well, possibly this Percy Jackson would change that.
