My two best friends all but adopted me when we were younger and they weren't even 18. I ran away from home at 7. Thalia was 12 and Luke was 14. I nearly brained Luke with a hammer before I realized they weren't monsters. They got me to Camp safely. I'd go on, but it's a very long story and very much what you'd expect of a story about demigods. So I guess I'm hoping to be a little more like they were then.
Yes. That's my mom. I'm a brain child in case you were wondering about the virgin goddess thing. Thought into existence. Yes, I still have a belly button, please don't ask
