I sat there petrified.
-Wh-Wh-What do you mean?-What does this guy mean? The hell? What is going on here?Questions swirl around in my mind. What is this old guy saying? Wasn't my mother a mortal? I mean I was accepted into camp as a demigod. That means I am a demigod right?
-In truth you are not a full fledged demigod. Your mother was a daughter of Athena, who died while giving birth to you. Your biological father is Hades. This gave exceptional reflexes, less dyslexia, but even more ADHD than normal. This gives an incredible amount of possibilities to learn im
-I get it. Can you tell me why you are telling me this?-I interrupt his speech, impatient with the man.
-I'm getting there young one-He gives me a glare that instantly shuts me up.-Now where was I... Oh yeah. The fact that you have even more apparent ADHD than a normal demigod and less dyslexia, means that you have chances the others don't have. And then you even tricked the gods except Hermes to give you blessings, and the blessings took hold even though you weren't a baby. Blessings only take hold on Baby heroes, but because you are ¾ god and only ¼ mortal, the blessings took effect, and if you try hard enough you can become either the one to raise Olympus, or the one to destroy it. The choice is the Curse that you were cursed with can be broken, but first let me hear your questions.-the old man finally finished talking.
-I understand all that, but first of all where am I?
-You are... umm... let me ask my mistress if I can tell you.- as soon as he says those words, he stands up, and walks out the door, leaving me alone in a room with no escape routes. I lay down on my bed to take all this information in. before I know it, sleep has taken me once again.

-We need his powers
-Yes but what if he won't help us?
-We can wash his memories cean in the river lethe, and implant new ones. fake ones.
-but how do we get him to the underworld? he is banned from entering it.
-Then what do you suggest if you're so smart?
-Convince him with words.
-I don't think that will happen. I knew him in camp. He is extremely stubborn, and managed to trick even Athena. That takes some skill wouldn't you say?
-Yes. but we can probably convince him. I mean the titans aren't any better than the gods. infact they're worse!
-I know you speak from experience my dear Cal
-Stop using that stupid nickname. My name is Calix
-Sure sure handsome guy.
-Your name isn't any better.-Calix almost yelled. My eyes popped open. So I was still alive. That's good i guess. although now that I woke up I realized I've been transported into another room. This one was like a hospital room, except slightly confier. the voices were coming from the door, so I dared to look around more. I tried getting out of bed, but I was handcuffed to it.-Cosy- the man continued.
-My full name is Cosmas, and I would appreciate it if you dropped the nickname.-Venom lay thick in Cosmas's voice.I rattled my chains, and they came rushing in to the room. I finally got a good look at the two guards. Both wore traditional Ancient greek armor but neither wore their helmet. One was a black haired boy, and looked to be about ten years old. The other was a blond man. They were both handsome by human standards, but neither gave the aura of someone trained in battle, hardened by living, and both gave off this peculiar aura. More godly than a demigods. I gazed into the childs amethyst eyes, and it struck me. They were like me. People who were born of a god demigod relationship. or they might've been more.
