Hello, this is a new book based on the Percy Jackson TV series that has started launching on Disney + and the Atlantis BBC series that aired from 2013-2015. I take no credit for these TV series only my made-up characters and ideas. Credit goes to the creators and not me. Also, any ideas already sent to me for this story by reviewers will be acknowledged and praised in this book. Hope you all enjoy this beginning prologue.
Prologue:
Look I didn't want to be a half-blood. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time it gets you killed. So, if you're hearing this, you probably think you might be one of us. But my advice is: turn away while you still can because once you know who you are, they'll sense it too. And they'll come for you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
My name is Phoebe Jackson.
I'm twelve years old. Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that.
Bad grades, bullies, all the normal stuff. And then there's some other stuff. Some stuff … that's maybe not so normal.
When I was in second grade, I saw something so beautiful. But the problem was no one else could see it. And I winded up in the principal's office. He tells me it's all just my imagination. But if it happens again, I should make sure to tell someone.
But it happened again. These impossible things felt like they walked right out of the stories my mum told me. I would always draw everything I'd see but the other kids avoided me, thinking I preferred to be friends with all the imaginary things I saw.
Then I met Grover. We had a lot in common. And not just because we were at the bottom of the food chain. It felt good to talk about these things with him. And I knew I could always count on him to have my back.
I never knew my father. My mother told me he was lost at sea when I was little. She told me she still remembers how he cradled my head when I was asleep in my crib, looking at me with such love in his eyes. I still have something to remember him by. A blue pearl pendant. Still, I always keep asking myself this very question. Who was he?
My name is Jason. I don't have a last name. I don't even know where I come from. I've lived in Camp Half-Blood my entire life. I've never seen the outside world beyond the pine tree that stands on the hill. I'm pretty much stuck in this summer camp with no idea of what it's like out there in the real world.
Chiron wasn't like any other caretaker as far as I could imagine. He was a centaur, always hiding his horse legs in public whenever he went into the outside world. He's raised me since I was a toddler. Don't get me wrong, he's raised plenty of other children in the thousands of years he has existed. But I'm just an exception. I'm not even meant to be here.
I'm not even a demi-god. I'm human. All the other demi-gods consider me an outsider, not one of them because half my heritage wasn't special like theirs. I've had to deal with big bullies and scared mythical beings and I'm always thinking one day a god or worse Zeus might come into this camp and toss me out, saying I never had or never would be one of them.
But it wasn't totally bad. I still have friends. More like family.
Luke is the closest I have to a big brother. He and I share a bunk in his cabin. And he always makes me feel like I'm special, even if I'm not a demi-god. Annabeth is the closest I have to a sister. She's sweet and always teaching me her new combat tricks. And don't forget Cody, he and his wolf companion are such loyal teammates in our rounds of Capture the Flag. They make me laugh. They make me feel wanted.
All I have left of my birth parents is this golden charm. A pair of golden horns. Every night I've dreamed that one day perhaps they would come to this camp to get me. But the older I got, the more I stopped believing that.
Why did they even leave me here?
Did they even love me?
And who am I?
What am I even doing here?
Those are the questions I have asked myself for years. And if Chiron and no one was going to answer, I was going to find out for myself. I am twelve years old. I am not the same helpless baby who was abandoned here all those years ago.
What did you all think? I hope you all liked the two perspectives idea. Please let me know what you all thought. Don't worry you can all expect an alternate Avatar chapter hopefully tomorrow and a Dragon Prince chapter next week. I just wanted to publish this and see if anyone likes it before continuing. Please send reviews and let me know what you all think.
