A week later.

Percy's POV

Hi Guys, So a a lot of crazy things have happened. Calypso has run off. She realised she wasn't in love with Leo, and the stress and pressure of modern life got to her. We have had no word from her and we do not know if she is safe.

And, worst news last. Hecate is ill. Because of this, The mortals are beginning to suspect things. The mist is weakening and it barely hides lower level monsters anymore.

Unfortunately, the mortals have seen a few monsters, but luckily they think its just a genetic mutation of lizards or something. Mortals really do come up with the weirdest stuff.

Camp Half Blood has doubled its training efforts, but there is still no luck in getting the gods to help. Rome has closed its borders and Hazel has put up magic walls. She can still control the mist, but she isn't strong enough to cover the entire magical world.

So, us demigods have had to go into hiding and undercover to make sure monsters don't hurt people. It's...not the best. The gods refuse to help because of the dumb ancient laws. I hate them. People are being hurt and dying. There are reports of demigods literally dropping dead from exhaustion because they are so overworked trying to keep everyone safe.

TIME SKIP-

Josh's POV

I'm seriously creeped out, there are freaky mutations coming to hurt us. They look like lizards and they can do crazy things like breath fire. Some of them look like bulls, but with enormous amounts of energy and strength. Some of them even carry weapons!

You may ask how I know this, well my dad is head of the department of containment and removal of animal related disasters. The freaks just want to hurt the world with their demon-gifted powers.

It's time for school now. What if the freaks attack us at school? I'm kinda scared.

TIME SKIP- start of school.

Leo's POV

Hi, its Leo. Hazel and Frank have left, so I don't need to put on an act anymore. So, quick update, I had the idea to record everything that's happening so, if there is a future for demigods, they can learn to work with mortals to keep safe. Hazel has taken memories from mortals, but we cannot see what they were thinking until everything is safe, its one of the ancient rules. Hazel has lost quite a bit of her magical strength, because the spell involved people's emotions and thoughts. I think it has something to do with the caster's will power and general well being. For someone as kind as Hazel, it has really taken a toll on her. Hazel will be fine though, she just needs sleep and rest.

What's the problem? Surprised that dumb Leo could ever be or sound smart.

Well, the truth is I actually am smart, not Annabeth smart, of course, but in the genius IQ range. I hide being smart because my Aunt Rosa did actually take me in for a short while, but every day i was there, she made it her mission to tell me I was worthless and a failure, each and every day. I guess she thought I was a freak. So, my self esteem took a pretty big hit. Ok, so, as you may have guessed, I'm not ok. But all that stuff isn't even the start of my problems ,aside from the

obvious mist thing, of course. I, Leo Valdez, am in love.

I know what you are thinking, "ohhhhh what a surprise, Leo has a crush again."

I am genuinely in love for the first time ever, but with two people. Who are dating each other. And have never showed any interest in me ever. In fact, one of them used to hate me for goodness sake! In case you haven't guessed, it's Hazel and Frank. I'm in love with two people for goodness sake. and one of them is a boy! I've never felt attraction to boys before, Aunt Rosa said it was wrong. I still haven't told the others that I'm Bisexual, but i hope to do it soon, tonight maybe. Anyway, gotta dash, the school bell just rang. We have Greek class next again. because we are very good at Greek Mythology, we have extra lessons in the place of things like social studies and Free periods. Bye!
