Dear d̶i̶a̶r̶y̶ journal,

Hi! I'm Perseus Jackson, almost 9 this year.

Well, obviously not my awesome famous grandfather, Perseus Jackson the First. He and Granny died peacefully, together in bed on the same day. How freaking awesome is that?

Whoops. Sorry Mom! She says I need to be sad and stuff, but I don't get why everyone's sad about Grandad and Granny's deaths. It just means they're in Elysium now. That's the Greek version of Heaven. Isn't it cool that I know all this Greek stuff?

Whoops again. Mom says I have this thing called ADHD, which makes me get all excitable and stuff. Anyway, my mom's Zoë Sally Jackson. Her dad was Perseus Jackson, which is something to be proud of. At least, that's what she says.

My dad's Sammy Zhang. They had me and my sister Lukia, though she calls herself Luke, after Uncle Luke.

So, lemme do this all again. I'm Perseus Jackson, I'm turning 10 in three weeks (how awesome is that?), my mom and dad are Zoë Jackson and Sammy Zhang, I have a really annoying little sister called Lukia and an even more annoying little brother named Andrew, after Granny. He just cries all the time!

We have our mom's last name because of the legacy or whatever. I'll get to that part later.

Anyway, I also have a cousin named Sam Jackson, Uncle Luke and Aunt Esperanza's kid who's five years younger than me. He's so lucky to be an only child.

Mom said all this stuff about how "Uncle Luke and Aunt Esperanza tried for ages before a baby" and blah blah blah.

Anyway, I'mma go all serious now before I forgot.

Mom gave me this d̶i̶a̶r̶y̶ journal because she wants me to continue on the "Jackson legacy". It's sounds so weird, right? That's why me and my sister and brother's last names are Jackson.

She wants to keep the Jackson name alive by letting us continue the legacy. Me and my siblings! Yeah, that's pretty crazy. But I guess my grandparents were reaaaally cool, so I have to make 'em proud with this.

So, when I grow up, I'm gonna have kids of my own and stuff, then pass the Jackson legacy to them, and they'll go on and on and on. I think I'm gonna have to start the legacy sooner than I thought, because my friend Feistia (after Feisty, Aunt Connie's nickname) Grace is pretty gorgeous...

Perseus Jackson (the Second) out, dude!

~the end~(for real)

AN: Well, that was one heck of a ride!

Thank you so much everyone who's stayed with this book till the end, and by stay, I mean read every single chapter then reread them and begged me for updates till I finally gave in.

Go reread this book if you can't get enough, and give me a follow! 😉

Bye!
