Prologue
-Quinn's POV-
March Break
I sat on the couch in my house, wondering if life could be any worse. My parents had died in a car crash, and to be worse, I had 2 siblings to take care of. School starts up in a week, and I STILL haven't gotten hold of my two-year-old brother. Seriously, he's more trouble then Ares himself! My arm starts to twitch.
"What now, James?" I ask my Puma.
Whoa, hold up. Go back a few steps.
You see, Earth is very different then - in the past. Today, we're in, like, I don't know, 4017 A.D. Nowadays, we have Half-Bloods, Greek Gods, Cahills, Marked, and Wizards. I have Wizard blood in me - but I can't make a fluffy cat turn into a pair of fluffy slippers.
I'm also a Cahill - but I won't tell you my branch until later. That's a surprise.
I'm also Marked - meaning that I have a Spirit Animal. As I said before, my Spirit Animal is a Puma. I'm also 14 - meaning that I have summoned one legally.
And now you're thinking: Which Greek God are you descended from?
Well, it's complicated. You see, my parents happen to be Demigods too, but with different Greek parents. My mother's a daughter of Athena, and my step-father is a son of Poseidon. (Key word: step-) My mother had an affair with Hermes, so I have Hermes blood in me. That explains my sneakiness. Oh, time to mention one of my Cahill branches.
I'm two-sixths Lucian.
Yeah. I have an arsenal of poison darts in my room, which no one saw since three years ago. But that's for later. Back on Track. OH MI GOSH I JUST MADE A GEOMETRY DASH PUN!!!! LET'S GO GRAPES! Oh, I really need to watch those puns. My grandfather was a son of Dionysus.
Anyways, I'm also related to Poseidon. Zeus visited and gave me some Poseidon-y powers. I annoy my friends at school with water. It's perfectly normal - two of my friends are Demigods.
-Phone rings-
"Hello?" I ask?
"Is this Quinn? Quinn Qiu, owner of 24 Bladeview street?" The other man — or woman said on the phone. With my other ear, I heard my little brother crying. Really... Always making a fuss at the worst time.
I cupped my hand over the phone and yelled "Querida! Can you calm Quentin down?" Seriously, I keep getting confused with the Q names. Geez parents, why Q? "Yes," I said to the phone.
"We have some news. You and your siblings will have to move out of your house, considering that you don't have any parents. We will give you the amount of money that you need for a month or two of living, and the amount you would have received for the house — $2.7 Million. Then, we will take you to the adoption centre by your house, and you will live there until someone chooses to adopt you. But sadly, you and your siblings will not be living together."
"WAIT A SECOND!" I yelled. This person was Crazy, with a capital C. "ADOPTION CENTRE? NOT LIVING WITH MY SIBLINGS? MY LITTLE BROTHER IS ONLY TWO, MY SISTER IS SEVEN, AND I'M ONLY FOURTEEN! AND WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?" Unfortunately, my little brother chooses to throw the most insane temper tantrum ever. "I need to go. My little brother needs caring."
This will explain my loud voice - I'm one-twelfth Tomas.
"But—" I hung up, ignoring him. I ran upstairs to soothe Quentin.
Things will go hectic very soon.
Question of the Chapter: Who gave Meilin her "Nectar" at her ceremony?
