This tale begins in the state of New York on a sinister blood moon night it was raining heavenly and thunder was rumbling as if Zeus knew himself the danger that had just entered the world.Under the sinister blood moon a child was born and the moon stood a witness of the child who held the world's fate in the palm of his hand . He was born at home his grandmother as his midwife ,"I shall name him Kona for he is my strength and my weakness ,"his mother said as she held her in her arm . The child grew up normal but something was different with him not only was he intellectually smart for his age but he never had any illness or futal injuries even when he fell or had fatal accident as he grew something that was peculiar to many except his grandmother who seemed to know what was going on with him. It was in May during the summer holidays when everything begun changing in Kona's life he was going to turn sixteen soon that day when he came home he found a strange man talking to his grandmother and his mother was in her room crying ."What's wrong mum ?Why are you crying mum?"Kona asked his mother ."Your grandmother wants you to go with him ,and leave me ."his mother spoke at her peak of melancholy."Kona come here with your mother here we want to talk with the two of you !"his grand mum called to them ."It's okay mum there must be a reason for this let's go and see what she has to say grandma is wise and she knows whats good for us all ,"Kona said, this made his mother realise how grown a man his son had become ,he had begun speaking like the man of the house ever since he had realised the absence of a father figure in his life not only did he speak but also acted like the the man of the house . In the living room his grand mother begun to speak ," I believe in you Kona and as a man it won't be had to digest what am about to tell you so listen .You've had about gods of Greek well am here to tell you that they aren't myths and you are but one of they're demihuman children and it is time to tell you the truth ,we don't know who your father is since your mother was drunk the day they met but as per now you're not safe with as so we are sending you to stay with the other demigods in the DMD phantom island there your father will reveal himself to you and you'll be safe ." All this was too much for him to take the world begun spinning and then all went blank ,the next thing he knew was that he was in some kind of flying chariot and then he blanked out again and finally when he gained his conciousness he found himself in a room covered with linen on its walls the bed he was on was made of a very soft material,he still felt alittle fuzzy,he looked around and saw a lady who was not so human as he was green and has leaves instead of hair,"How are you Kona you sure got gut I'll tell you that most new comers freak out when they see me ,ow!excuse my manners am Aphilia an nymph and your nurse ."the lady spoke all this while Kona was quite and still like a statue trying to recall what he was missing then with a sharp pain as if he had head-on collision with the memory the words of his mom before he fell fully unconscious,"Don't ever forget that I love you son....."as he remembered this a surge of emotions filled him and he bursted out like a lost two year old ,"Where's my mother ?I want my mother !"he demanded as he went out of the nursing room he shouted and the nymph went to call the man who had brought him .

CHAPTER 5

It was two days later ,Kona was sitting on his favourite spot by the beach speculating about the secrets of the sea and analysis his dream that had strangely reoccurred twice since the previous time and if that wasn't peculiar enough the last had happened more like a vision in broad daylight while in the dinning room just after lunch when everyone was leaving the hall and he had decided to wait for Claire and the others from his team as they had decided on meeting for a few minutes to plan before going fore the evening practice that included dealing with the creatures of the forest and those domesticated in the camp ,it was Claire who snapped him out of the vision and since then the day went haywire, everything taking a horrible turn all the creatures even the most ferocious of them all seemed to avoid him and fear him .He ended up failing the familiar test where he was supposed to find a familiar that would be his best friend unbound by death ,the choices were between the Pegasus(a horse with wings ), the Fenrir (a giant wolve that can manipulate flames )and for the Zeus children they had the option of the thunder bird(a gigantic bird of thunder as the name implies) and the Son's of Paseidon the Hippocampus (half horse with a fish tail) ,all of this greatly feared creatures evaded him .

As he sat on his favourite spot on a rock in the beach he asked himself alot of queries,just as he was sitting here gazing in the vast distance of the blue ocean now pale almost colourless a thunder was heard in the clear skies and lightening hit the landing base everyone except Kona felt their bones attempting to escape their flesh and turned to look at the direction of the sound ,just then Zeus appeared in the lightening,then follow with a purple light that made every one shut their eyes ,Hera appeared from within it ,just as the crowd is still digesting the event there is a reap in space and Athena appears in her majestic Chaos chariot .

What brings Kona back to earth is the rising sea water that reveals Paseidon ,Kona turns to sea the other three gods with Chiron who has arrived with Hera ,he quickly stands and runs and stands next to the crowd that had formed next to Cleo ,what was shocking to everyone especially the older demigods who had never seen such occur not the presence of the gods but the fact that they had come without warning and in full battle gear something they had only seen in paintings .

"Everyone to his or her area immediately,"Willow immediately took charge when he arrived . All dispersed murmuring among themselves no , Willow led the gods with the help of the other instructors to the central headquarters of the island ,the temple of the gods ,Kona who was still digesting the situation tried to ask the others what was going on,"Cleo are we moving or a we under attack by the Titans .""I don't really know ,"she calmly response to him.He nods but at heart is not satisfied with her answer .

Later on a meeting is held without warning in the phoenix fields ,the gods where seated on their thrones ,everyone else stood even Chiron , to add to the days peculiarity Athena stood to speak the congregation became grave silent ,"Okay today we want to do a quick exercise is it okay ,everyone who is turning nineteen on fifth of January next year come forth ."

No one came forth ,she turned and looked at the other gods then went on ,"okay then anyone who will be turning nineteen between first and tenth January next year come forth."This time a group of ten students moved forward,"thank you for your honesty ,okay Willow look for the mark on them
