"What is the square root of 16?" asked . I wasn't paying attention. I was busy looking at my chromebook, searching up pictures of epic ocean battles.

"Ethan, would you like to demonstrate to the class how to solve this problem?" I looked up in complete confusion, not hearing what my teacher said at all.

"Excuse me?" I asked. "The square root of 16", repeated . I walked up to the smartboard and racked my brain for answers. What times what is 16? I was pretty sure it was an easy problem, but I couldn't remember it. I decided to go through the multiplication table and see which one it was. 2x2=4 3x3=9 4x4=16

"4", Ethan answered, just as the bell rang. He went back to his desk and shut down his chromebook, putting it to charge before joining his best friend, Grover. Laughter can be heard as I walked down the hall with Grover, but I didn't care. They always called me names, because I was an orphan and I lived on the streets. Life wasn't fun, but Grover was always there for me. He would find food in the woods near us and we would sleep in piles of leaves. Sometimes, when we could find anything to eat, I would go to the river and fish would just jump up in my face. He would start a fire, don't ask me don'how, but his guy is a nature survivalist. He was the one who got me into this school somehow.

"Hey man, what's for lunch today?", I asked.

"Um, paper pla- sandwiches in a paper bag."Grover answered. This was what Grover said everyday. Don't know why he starts with paper, but he always forgets. He was only correct 95% of the time.

"Alright man, save a spot for me, would you? I'm going to the bathroom." Grover nodded. With that, I turned and went in the opposite direction down the hall. After I finished my business, I went out the door, only to be confronted by the huge giant, Wilson Zuna.

"Son of the sea" he said, "you shall be my dinner today." I looked at him in complete confusion.

"Um, excuse me?"I asked.

You cannot fool my senses, you have hidden for long enough!" With that, he transformed, 2 eyes merging into 1, turning even bigger than before(How is that even possible) and roared at me. He tried to grab me, which I escaped by slamming the door right in his face. That didn;t stop him. 2 seconds later, he bashed through the door and roared again. Suddenly Grover came, putting a paper bag on Wilson or what it was now's head, and threw the lunch bag at his face. As Wilson frailed, Grover grabbed my hand and ran down the hall.

"What the hell is-" I started, but Grover interrupted me.

"No time to explain dude, just run!" I turned to see 3 of those things chasing after me, with a few dog-like things with long fangs with them as well. Not hesitating, I grabbed a metal bar and threw it at the huge giant, but it went right through him. I was beyond shocked at this point. Grover was chewing nervously on a piece of wood as we ran. We were now on the DuSable Bridge, going to the south side of the town. Grover stopped abruptly.

"Wha-" I said before I saw 2 snake women on the other side.

"Demigod, you will die today" the snake hissed.

"I won't let you take him!" yelled Grover. I looked at him as if he was crazy. He wasn't anything muscular at all.

"Little satyr, you think you can do anything? Here is a newbie demigod. You would make nice goat soup for dinner, however" the other snake said. Satyr? Isn't that from greek mythology? Why is Grover a satyr? Memories from the book my mother read to me when I was 3 popped up in my memories. However I was taken out of my thoughts as the Cyclopes, I think, kicked Grover, knocking him to the side of the bridge. Grover grunted in pain.

"Little goat thinks he can fight me, hellhounds take him" The Cyclopes said. The creepy dogs started advancing towards Grover, and he looked scared. Anger consumes me as I watched the dogs bite my friend and make him shriek in pain. He was the one who cared when I was alone at this school after leaving the orphanage. He was the one who always found me shelter.

The water from the river started rising up as I (idk what happened here) shot a huge torrent of water at the vile monsters, sending all of them falling off the bridge, screaming as they disintegrated to dust. A pure blue sword appeared in my hands as I rushed at the snake women, stabbing them, leaving the shocked monsters screaming as they dissolved. I turned and sliced the head off of a Cyclops thinking it was gross, but I wasn;t really in possession of myself. I looked around me and all I saw was piles of golden dust. I looked at Grover and saw that he was safe, looking at me in awe. The power surge left me as I fell to the ground, completely exhausted. The last thing I saw was Grover running towards me.

Can you guess who his godly parent is? Answer in the comments below!
