Everyone grows up wishing they were special. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who used to watch flashy action movies and daydream of myself in the place of the protagonist. Saving people in daring rescues and getting the girl at the end of the day — that was always something that seemed like a distant dream. Then one day, I find out that I might not be so ordinary, and get whisked away into the magical world of gods and monsters. Naturally, there were some first-time jitters involved, but after a while, I got used to it. This is right about where you're expecting me to burst out into some elaborate and amazing tale of my adventures as the protagonist of my new life… but that my friend is where you would be sorely disappointed. Life doesn't always deal you the perfect hand; sometimes you're the most basic and average child of the gods to have ever live. Just like in the mortal world, I'm not the hero. I'm not the savior. My name is Damien, and I'm just about as average as demigods come. If you're expecting high-flying action, heart-throbbing romance, and heroic self sacrifice in the face of insurmountable odds… you might as well just turn back now. This is the story of that time the world almost ended from the eyes of 'the background guy'. If you're wondering about the inter workings, social circles, and general day-to-day drama that takes place in Camp Half-Blood, well then strap yourself in, dear reader. I'm about to take you for one Hades of a ride.
