An atheist demigod of Mars (A Lucy Tempest rant)
Imagine being a demigod and suddenly finding out that you’re a daughter of an ancient Roman God. This happened to me when I was age 15. I found that instead of my mom, an ugly half-woman half-bat creature (called a fury) was waiting for me downstairs. The fury aligned with Gaia, who wanted to overthrow the gods. And that’s right. I said gods, with a small g and an s at the end. While I may not know if God, with a capital G, i.e., the god of the Abrahamic religion, existed, I know that the gods of many of the ancient pantheon did. Mars certainly did. He and my mom… how do I put it in a PG-13 manner… hooked up. And bam! You get a sassy read haired demigod. Me. Jupiter (or Zeus as the Greeks know him) also existed.

That name accurately describes the Grey Sisters taxi service. Though they are one of the fastest modes of transport across the continental United States, they are very expensive! A Camp to Camp travel will take about an hour but cost upwards of 1200 drachmas or $2400! They charge like 20 drachmas per minute. Yes, you read that right. It's per minute not per mile. Don't think about paying with American Dollars. Their exchange rate is very steep, even worse than what is offered by the Fawns. And the comfort riding one of the taxis is like 1*. It is

Your friendly neighborhood demigod
Being a demigod and a student was extra hard. In addition to deadlines, you will get monsters wanting to kill you every now and then.
But what do you mean, you may ask. A demigod? Does that mean you're an alien like Thor? And to answer your question, no.
The Olympians are beings that supposedly created the Earth. One thing you must know is that these gods are very horny. If you look at Greek history, you will see these beings have kids with mortals, ie non-gods, all the time. Hercules was a demigod. And Perseus.
These were the more famous demigods. No surprise since their dad was also one of the Big Three, a collective term referr
