Random topic: Is anyone other than me excited for summer? I hope this break will be even more fun than the last,- though that'll be hard, since last year was the year I discovered the amazing amazingness of fanfiction. At least, I discovered it after two weeks of boring, forced torture that can be represented briefly in two words: tennis camp. Well, at least I'm not going to have to save the world or anything! (I hope)
Dear Mortals,
This is Jaz. I'm glad to report this chapter is not about romance or shippings or Sadie killing me. I'm writing because I have a question.
Why do some people bluntly favour the demigods?
Like, I know everyone has different opinions, so if you just like how things are done at Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter better than how we do things at Brooklyn House, that's okay. But what I don't like is that some people say that demigods are way stronger, or write off Apophis as some minor thing, and say that Kronos and Gaea were way more epic villains.
Why do you say that?
First of all, demigods may be strong, but so are magicians! Maybe demigods have some special powers, but if we threw a ball of twine and said Tas, than that would wrap up any demigod that's charging. (Except maybe for that son of Hephaetus who can control fire,- he'd just burn threw all of it) Even if that doesn't work, we have more tricks up our sleeves. Besides, while demigods risk getting burnt up after drinking too much nectar, our healing potions don't have that sort of obstacle. So that's beneficial, right?
And while I can't do this, some people at Brooklyn House can become Eyes of the gods. *cough*Carter Sadie Zia*cough* That means god and mortal are totally in balance, and when that happens, it's even more powerful than a regular Egyptian god! I'm not an expert, but I'm sure even a powerful demigod would have some serious trouble beating that.
Okay. Secondly, why do some mortals assume that compared to the "big shots" Kronos and Gaea, Apophis is nothing? Sure, Kronos and Gaea are bad and all, but what makes you think Apophis wasn't?
Apophis is the embodiment of Chaos. All the arguments, all the unbalance, all that's unfair and cheap in the world is him. When fought him, he was in many places at once, and he slithered through many layers of the Duat. Apophis manipulated demons and magicians both to try and obtain his goal. That snake was one worthy opponent.
Not that I'm trying to imply Kronos and Gaea weren't! I bet Kronos was really strong and Gaea is even stronger. But so was Apophis, and to be honest, I think we should get some more credit for defeating someone like that.
Hope you guys take this message the right way and answer my question. Whatever you think, Egypt isn't weak. And if all three pantheons collide and there is a war like some of you put in your stories, than I hope you all watch, because Egypt won't go done without a fight.
True, the Roman empire was supposedly the greatest, and Greece was one of the most rememberable, but Egypt was the first great empire of all time, and that leaves an impact. Egypt is strong, and so are her people. Don't just write us off.
Sincerely,
Jaz
