Mortal Family
● Ralph Sanford, father ● Sicilia Sanford, step-mother ● Paul Sanford, adopted brother (22) ● Andy Sanford, half-sister (16) ● Anthony Sanford, half-brother (13) ● Amelia Sanford, half-sister (11)
History
Don't be offended if Alec Sanford glares at you when you throw a friendly smile at him and expect one in return. The child of Khione has always been the 'odd-one-out' and never had much friends growing up. In fact, he had a hard time making friends. His step-mom disliked him from the very beginning since he was the child of another woman. On the other hand, his dad loathed him because he was a reminder of his and Khione's bad break-up. The only family member he truly liked was his older brother, Paul, who was adopted. His parents favored his younger siblings because they were their 'real children', which left Alec and Paul neglected.
Paul left for college when Alec was fourteen. It triggered something in him. He realized that he didn't have a reason to stay home anymore. Soon, he was out every night hanging out at a friend's house, shoving drinks down his throat even though he wasn't legal. But his parents had enough of their rebellious teenage son. It was the last straw. They kicked him out just before his fifteenth birthday.
Alec crashed at friends' houses while he searched for a new home. He couldn't turn to any of his Aunts and Uncles on his father's side because they hated him as much as his parents did. Going to his mother was out of the question. He didn't even know the chick. But that would all change when he ran into a sketchy boy who looked around his age. He found him strange at first, but by the end of their conversation, Alec found a new friend. He admit, he found it rather mysterious when the boy offered him a place to stay. But what the heck. He quickly agreed and found himself on a plane to New York City. The boy brought him to a place called Camp Half-Blood where people like him are safe and sound. Alec was soon enlightened about the mother he never knew, and quickly found a home in the training facility for demigods.
* appearance
Physical Appearance
With what appears to be a permanent scowl on his face and an iciness that is almost as cold as his eyes, Alec's physical appearance complements his family lineage. He inherited his mom's pale skin, but his father's striking eyes. You wouldn't have guessed that he and his siblings were related due to the fact that there was no family resemblance All his siblings have been blessed with tanned skin, and light-colored hair.
He is never seen without his aviator sunglasses, whether its hanging on the neckline of his shirt or sitting on the bridge of his nose. It goes perfectly with the leather jacket and dark outfits he usually wears that gave him the reputation of being the 'Mysterious Bad Boy' of the Khione cabin. His looks makes the girls squeal when he looks their way, while his vast shoe collection make guys look at him with envy.
* personality
Personality
To strangers, Alec seems cold and unfriendly. You may think he's unapproachable because he oozes intimidation and thinks highly of himself. But little did those outsiders know, he's actually warm and fuzzy inside.
He possesses the traits of a leader. He's a smart thinker and a fairly good strategist. It's too bad that he's extremely impatient. He doesn't care if you get hurt by his commands. He will do whatever it takes to get the best outcome in the end.
But once you two befriend each other. You'll realize how caring and friendly he is. He gets overprotective over his friends, threatening anyone that could potentially hurt them. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has a soft spot for kids and wants some in the future.
Fatal Flaw
Although generally a nice guy, Alec has a bad temper and easily gets jealous: a bad combination for him. He also doesn't work well when the room's temperature isn't cold.

* mortal life
Mortal Family
● Lisa Bennett (Mother), 39, Waitress at Denny's
History
To the gods, the true reason why the ever-so ordinary mortal, Lisa Bennett, caught Erebus' eye. She was just serving tables at Denny's during the night shift when the pair met. It was no secret: he was dazzled. Despite the fact that she had him wrapped around her finger, she remained humble and warm-hearted. It was unfortunate how she could never enjoy the pleasures of life because of her low salary. Yet, when she got pregnant with Erebus' child, she loved her little Nugget more than anything in the whole world. When Lisa's other half left, she was devastated, but never let it get in the way of the welfare of her beautiful baby boy, Sawyer Gage.
Little Sawyer has always been inquisitive as a child. A few of his first sentences have always been inquiries about the world. "Why is the sky blue?", "How do birds fly?" Lisa had difficulty keeping up with him. When she was away to work her night-shifts at Denny's, he'd always be put under the care of his aunt. Every night would always be the same for the young demigod: he'd look out his aunt's window and just watch the deep blue night sky. He hardly ever slept at all; for some odd reason, he'd hit the hay just before the sun would rise. It was a habit that Lisa wasn't fond of, however she knew it was simply in his blood. Sometimes, having the father of your son be the god of darkness had its downfalls. Nevertheless, she learnt to deal with his unusual traits.
During his elementary years, Sawyer proved to be a clever and cynical child. Although he received top marks in his class, he was very awkward and reserved. He wasn't antisocial, but he wasn't exactly titled Mr Popular. Usually, he didn't mind when people would approach him to strike up a conversation. He just preferred that he wasn't the one who started it. Sawyer was the student who always sat at the back of the class, his nose buried in a book, which may have been hard for him since he was dyslexic.
As a teenager, things grew rough for the half-blood. Money became a bigger problem than before for the Bennetts. Lisa stopped Sawyer from looking for a job, afraid that it might get in the way of his academics. He found it utterly ridiculous. She was practically refusing another source of income. Even with his mother's persistent discouragements, he was able to acquire two jobs: one as one of the contributors of an amateur magazine and another in an underground fight club. He never told his mother about his jobs, instead making excuses for his increasing absence at home.
Everyone at school noticed the bruises on Sawyer's cheeks, the recurring black eyes he'd get, or the cuts on his lips. Since then, people have stereotyped him as a bad boy, unaware of his true nature. The minority who knew of his profession were the boys at Modern Eggs Society, the underground magazine he wrote for. He wrote about unknown bands and trends to follow before they go famous. It was a big hit, in hipster terms. Sawyer counted his boys as his best friends. One of them named Todd grew to be his best friend and he even introduced him to his mom as a fellow writer for the school newspaper. In reality, Todd was a satyr, hoping to bring Sawyer to Camp Half-Blood.
When he turned 16, Lisa brought some bad news to Sawyer; they could no longer afford his school. Fortunately for them, she found a school which would be perfect for him. It bewildered Sawyer. How can they not afford his crappy old school yet be able to pay for one that was seemingly perfect for him? Lisa hushed all questions and told him to get packing. The boarding school was in New York and she pulled out all expenses to bring him there. The drive was 4 and a half hours, but at least he had the company of Todd who was joining him.
It was also during the car ride when Sawyer found out the truth: about his father, her mother's past, and himself, He forced himself not to ask too many questions, hoping that he found find answers in Camp Half-Blood.
* appearance
Physical Appearance
Bruised cheekbones and split lips, it's no wonder why Sawyer has been labeled as a bad boy. He has a wide forehead and a chiseled jaw with a pointed chin. His cheekbones are defined, yet have remnants of fading bruises from being in a fight club. His light brown hair falls over his deep set of baby blue eyes, framed with long eyelashes. His hair is long, shaggy, and unkempt, having no expenses to pay for excess needs such as hair product aside from shampoo. His lips are thin and upturned, and has a faint scar from one of his many fights. His nose is long and crooked after having it broken far too many times. It's evident how much his job affected his looks.
Sawyer is tall, standing at 6'1. He's lean and toned, muscular in all the right places. He also embodies the brooding hipster stereotype with his choice of clothing. He'd often wear jeans with v-necks, beanies, Converse sneakers, or plaid button-up shirts. Whenever he'd read or write, he'd sport his Ray-Ban reading glasses.
* personality
Personality
Quiet and reserved, Sawyer has been deemed as unapproachable. If only people knew how he's, in fact, a sensitive and warm-hearted guy. He'd inherited the trait of being considerate from his mother. Added to that, he was very intelligent as a result of being inquisitive. Sawyer is cynical towards life, his questions always being why and how, as opposed to what.
Being introduced the indie scene has shaped his preferences. He appreciates underground stuff, only if it truly is underground. He chooses to not go with the flow and stays out of the loop.
On the other hand, he can be very timid and insecure. Within the first few moments, he can be awkward and hard to talk to, but those first impressions will be dispersed with his humble attitude. Something most people don't know is that Sawyer is stubborn and insecure. He's afraid of letting people into his life with the fear that they will leave him.
Fatal Flaw
Due to his nature of being distant, his habit of pushing people away has become his fatal flaw. He has a hard time trusting people, which can be his downfall when it comes to battle for he would rather be alone.

Abilities
+ Hydrokinesis & Hydrogenesis + Water Propulsion, Breathing, and Solidfication + Communication with equines and sea creatures + Can innately breathe underwater, but not as long as children of Poseidon + Can stay dry underwater
He's the guy you'd see standing in the center of a crowd in the school hallways. He's the guy who'd usually be rewarded MVP of every season, but instead of shooting hoops and dating girls, Christopher WInchell is learning how to fight monsters and speak Ancient Greek. The eldest son of a retired Olympic swimmer, Topher has grew up in an environment which was a tad bit higher than your average middle-class. Just like his mother, Molly, the young boy has grown fond of being in the water. Being born in Australia, home of the Great Barrier Reef, he was surrounded by water. Added with the strong influence of his mother, he adapted to his mother's lifestyle of being a swimmer.
After Molly retired from swimming when she turned 26, she and her three children packed up and left for the United States of America. Topher was six years old then and whenever he'd ask his mom about the sudden urge to get out of Australia, she's always shrug and say, "A change of scenery."
By then, Topher knew quite a lot about his father. Molly told him that his name was Thomas and together, they were both on the Australian Olympic swim team. While Molly was a breaststroke swimmer, Thomas excelled in butterfly. Topher knew that the two were the hardest strokes to do in the sport, but the two were able to make it as the best of their team. It's no wonder how the two ended up as a couple! They made the perfect swim-team.
But what the young lad didn't know was the reason why he was so absent all the time. He'd attempted to ask his mother about it, but a sad smile would constantly appear on her sad face. Topher forced himself to halt his inquiries if it made his mom sad.
Topher attended a private school in Long Island called Pierce Country Day together with his little sister, Marina. He was 3 years senior than her who was 7 years old at the time. His younger brother, however, went to Temple Emanuel Nursery when he was 4. Although his two younger siblings were the children of another man, Topher cared for them deeply.
Which is why Topher felt devastated when his mother announced that he'd be going to a boarding school around the area. He didn't understand why he had to, but his mother said that his father requested that he went there when she thought he was old enough. He asked if his sister would go there, but unfortunately, he would be alone.
Molly didn't explain to him about his father, much to his dismay. Everything was left unknown, for Topher to find out. Hopefully his new school would answer his questions about his heritage. There was just one thing that he didn't understand: Who would name a school Camp Half-Blood?
* appearance
Physical Appearance
Something that Topher is always complimented on is the deep cobalt color of his eyes. It has been said that his eyes are different hues of blue, as if watching the reflection of the sun on the ocean. His eyebrows are always knit together and his lips turned in a frown, as if he had a million questions running through his mind. Knowing him, he probably did.
Topher's brown hair is always in a mess, as well. It sticks up in almost every direction, seeing as his motto is, 'Why fix the hair when it's just going to get wet?'
He's often spotted wearing different kinds of board shorts with his camp t-shirts with either flip-flops or worn out sneakers. Anything to make it easier for the sixteen year old to shrug out of his shirt or slip off his shoes and jump into the water. He also tends to pick out brightly colored shorts with loud designs in order to stand out.
* personality
Personality
When you first meet Topher, questions will fly from his mouth. He has grown to be inquisitive, constantly seeking answers from different people. While his teachers appreciated his interest in their classes, this got somewhat annoying to others. Sometimes, he tends to ask useless questions that don't necessarily have a point.
Topher is also very sociable. He loves being meeting new people and making friends, being the social butterfly. He enjoys being the center of attention and making people laugh.
Despite that, he is actually loyal and extremely caring. It's very easy to befriend him and once you do, he'll immediately become very protective of you. He would do anything to ensure your safety and make sure you're kept from harm. He rarely talks about people behind their backs and is truly a genuine friend you'd like to keep.
But it's easy for him to lose his trust in you. One wrong doing and you could say bye-bye to what could've been a fraternal companionship.
Fatal Flaw
Topher possesses unusual fatal flaw. First, he has super-hero complex. He wants to save everyone from harm, even with the risk of his own well-being. Due to his status as a demigod, he thinks he's responsible for everyone's safety and therefore, has the image of himself as a hero in his head. He carries the burden of other people's problems on his shoulders with the idea in mind that he could take away people's problems. Second, he is very gullible. You could tell him that you've met a Martian that resembled Johnny Depp that abducted you from your 5-story mansion in Beverly Hills and he would believe you.

Mortal Family
● Rowland Brandon (father), deceased, Pilot
History
Born in the midst of the Ballroom Decade, Isaac Brandon is the epitome of an 'old sport'. He was born in Brooklyn, New York at the break of dawn. Since his father had a job that was introduced back then, it was safe to say that the cash flow was going smoothly. He received good education and had a nanny during times when his father was too busy with work. His childhood was relatively easy.
From the transition from being a kid to a teenager in the roaring 20's, it was no doubt that Isaac made his way to be classified as a decent kid. He and his father had a good relationship and he had never talked badly about his absent mother, being taught to respect adults. He's been working at the same job since the age of 14 at a radio station, a profession that was booming back then. Teenagers back then learnt to work hard to get what they wanted and appreciated the little things they received during Christmas and birthdays.
Yet, that all changed for the demigod in 1928. His father had a dream where he spoke to his mother, warning him about the future of America. She had hinted about the Great Depression which would follow a few years after and it would be best if Isaac was kept safe. Confused and bewildered, Rowland followed Hebe's instructions to take him to a hotel in Las Vegas, where, for sure, her son would be kept safe. Although he didn't know what was in store for the family, Rowland was persistent in keeping his only boy safe. Hebe didn't leave instructions for Rowland, so instead of joining his son, he returned home.
Isaac enjoyed his stay at the Lotus Hotel and Casino. Although he was too young to enter the casino, he found pleasure in the array of activities presented by the hotel. Not a day passed by when he didn't think about his father. The seventeen year old was given strict instructions to never leave the hotel because he was going on a trip and couldn't take care of his son.
During his stay in the luxury of the hotel, making quite a number of friends during his stay. After three months, he was retrieved by a short man in a business suit, claiming to be his guardian. But after leaving the hotel, he was surprised to see how different Las Vegas appeared to be. The satyr in disguise told him he would answer all his inquiries on the way home, which sparked excitement for the seventeen year old boy. He was going home, to see his father! His good mood was short-lived for during the travel time, the satyr told him the truth.
Isaac was no longer in the 1920's, but in the modern era, in the year 2012. The worst news was that his father had killed himself in the middle of the Great Depression after losing his job, and all his money. The satyr told him that he was brought to the hotel for his own good, because his father wanted a better life for him. Isaac had a fresh start at a new life at Camp Half-Blood.
* appearance
Physical Appearance
Tall, with a lean, yet muscular build, Isaac has been called 'dreamy' by the girls back home. Perhaps it was those blue eyes framed with long lashes that made girls want to squeal with delight whenever he'd look at you. Maybe, it was the sweet smile that played on his lips when he'd greet you hello. Either way, it was universally acknowledged that he was the Leonardo DiCaprio of the 20's.
Isaac hasn't fully adapted to the modern era which is evident in the way he presents himself. His hair is always neatly combed and clothes freshly ironed. He's learning to be more contemporary by making it a habit to not brush his hair, but he only does so when he feels like it. It's possible to catch him sporting a Newsboy cap. Although he has started to dress like an average teenager, there are still factors that give away the fact that he's from the 20's, such as his habit of wearing neutral colors.
* personality
Personality
t's an understatement to label Isaac as old-fashioned. Quiet and reserved, he's more interested in living peacefully rather than bickering with other people. Naturally organized and methodical in his approach, he generally succeeds at any task he undertakes.
Additionally, he is very loyal, faithful, and dependable, the foundation of his friendships relying on honesty and integrity. He likes to do the right thing for his family or community and abides by most of the rules. Since his mother was a cup-bearer to the Olympians, it has translated into Isaac in the sense that he's willing to serve for the good of the people.
He spends long periods of time and tremendous energy into perfecting any task, whether it be a project or some work of art. New to the environment, he has a hobby of gathering fun facts from the Internet, one of his favorite modern inventions. He has a great sense of artistic appreciation. Although he is not good with drawing, he has a passion for literature.
However, due to his expanded knowledge on different theories and trivia, he can act like a know-it-all. This has become his most irritating trait. He'd correct your every flaw, and explain what you've done wrong, and tell you the correct answer.
Fatal Flaw
Isaac's fatal flaw is that he jumps to conclusions. What he sees is what he gets, and it's very hard to convince him otherwise.

Mortal Family
● Charlotte Dumont-Marie (mother), 39, Kindergarten teacher ● Philippe Marie (grandfather), 53, Duke of Brabant
History
Nobody would've guessed that the grandson of one of the most prestigious Dukes in Belgium would be a half-blood. Heck, nobody even knew that Duke Philippe's daughter, Charlotte, had a child! It was the castle's biggest scandal back in 1995 when news broke out that the Duke's only daughter was pregnant out of wedlock! Outraged, Duke Philippe threatened anyone who dared to tell anyone outside their manor. Added to that, it had strained the father and daughter's relationship. Tired of all the negativity in their residence, Charlotte Marie fled from Belgium and to the location of the man who was going to father her child: America. The man, whose odd name was Morpheus, gave her an address in New York and told her to come if ever she needed help with the kid.
Much to her amazement, when she knocked on the quaint townhouse in the heart of the Upper East side, she wasn't faced with the hunky blue-eyed man she fell for back home in Belgium. Instead, a dark haired man appeared at the doorstep. He introduced himself as Kenneth Clark. The name rang a bell to Charlotte, but they were only able to clear things out when he invited her in. Turns out Kenneth's father was an old business partner of Duke Philippe. Considering her state of homelessness in America, Kenneth offered her his guest room for the rest of her stay.
Despite her pregnancy, Charlotte got a job as a kindergarten teacher to help support her child and pay Kenneth back. However, it didn't save her from the vivid dreams at night where a beautiful blue-eyed baby boy appeared.
A few months later, she gave birth to a healthy boy, whom she gave a traditional Belgian name to: Mathias Sebastien Alexandre Marie. However, she'd introduce him as Matt Dumont, using the fake name she's had for safety purposes. She was taken aback when she realized her son was the same boy she has had numerous dreams of, yet never associated it with her absent ex-boyfriend.
Growing up, Matt espoused artistic traits, always doodling or molding clay pieces. He had a bright imagination, always writing stories about the dreams he had retained in his mind. While most people only remembered 2% of their dreams, it was clear to Charlotte and Ken that the young boy certainly recalled more.
Everything changed when Matt turned eight. A good friend of Ken recommend that he be sent to a special school because of his dyslexia and ADHD. After a discussion between Charlotte and Ken, who had become his father figure in his life, they decided to go with the plan. That night, Matt dreamt of the same friend of Ken's, but instead of the slacks he wore, he had the legs of a goat.
When he arrived at his "school", he quickly learnt about his nature. How his real father was, in fact, a Greek god. It was hard to process what he had learnt, but in due time, everything would be clear to Matt, just like his dreams.
* appearance
Physical Appearance
Matt is described to be a mirror image of his father, Morpheus. Both have the same light-colored hair that seem to flick upwards, a style that Matt has effortlessly mastered. He has bright blue eyes, and whenever someone meets his gaze, they can't help but be mesmerized with the kaleidoscope of colors that seem to be hidden inside the shades of azure. Given his friendly smile, he air around Matt tends to be very light and open, drawing a lot of people in.
Whenever he grins, he always has a dazed look on his face. As if he were anywhere but on earth. He usually daydreams a lot, evident in the distant expression in his eyes.
* personality
Personality
Laidback and easygoing, Matt has been classified as your typical boy-next-door. When you meet him, he'd be nice and polite. He'd been taught to do be classy at all times, despite being unaware of his royal heritage.
He's not the type to approach people and strike up a conversation. In fact, he can be shy and has a hard time approaching people. This doesn't stop him from being a generally nice person. However, his weakness is that he has a difficult time when speaking to girls he's attracted to.
Matt has been branded as the nice guy, which is why girls often see him as the boy to turn to when you need love advice. He's used to being either friend zoned or assumed gay.
However, if you push his buttons, it has been said that Matt transforms into the nice guy into you know into a monster, something like the Hulk. He can be quite destructive and seeing him in a bad mood is something nobody wants to see.
Fatal Flaw
Matt's fatal flaw is the fact that he's too passive. He refuses to leave his comfort zone and would prefer to not take risks or be bold.

Mortal Family
● Maximilian Stark (Father), 38, Cardiologist, Alive (FC: Matt Bomer)
Maximilian met Kaspar's mother, Mikayla, when he was still in training in Camp Half-Blood and attended medical school together, but their love only blossomed during internal medicine training. The two got married after finishing cardiology fellowship, having Kaspar not long after. Mikayla died giving birth to their first and only son.
Kaspar and Maximilian have a strong relationship. Kaspar looks up to his father and admires his passion for his job. Although his father can't help him with his condition himself, he pulls strings in order to get Kaspar to his best health.
When Kaspar was a kid, Maximilian would always tell him the tales of Mad Max, a superhero who saved the world, but led a double life as a normal boy. Unknowingly, The Adventures of Mad Max were Maximilian's own experiences as being a demigod in Camp Half-Blood and memories of a few of his quests.
Every parent dreams of the life their child would live, embedding even the smallest details to ensure a life better than their own. However when Maximilian, a demigod himself, had a child with a Greek goddess, he didn't factor in a popular disease to his child's life; his son, Kaspar, was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia at six years old. It seemed ruthless; to be a doctor, but not have the ability to save your own child's life since he wasn't a Hematologist, but a Cardiologist. It seemed unfair that he acquired the sickness at such a young age, but young Kaspar knew that life wasn't fair.
It all started with a cold that turned into a raging fever. It was a chilly, December night when Maximilian's friend came over to their house to test a blood sample. The results were devastating: young Kaspar had leukemia. His diagnosis was Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, or CML. It was an aggressive and fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Luckily for Kaspar, he was so young that the leukemia cells didn't have time to spread throughout his small body. His doctors immediately began treatment with three rounds of chemotherapy over a four month period. For a while, it seemed like Kaspar was going into remission. There was a ray of hope for Maximilian. But that light was extinguished by the results of a check-up. The cancer cells had not been completely destroyed.
Shortly after he turned seven, another round of chemotherapy was done and was deemed effective. However, a stem cell transplant had to be done in order for his bone marrow to recover. Unfortunately, no one in Kaspar's family had a close enough match. That's when his fate was made; Kaspar only had six months to five years to live.
Each day was a gift to Maximilian for he spent every single moment away from his job with his son. They'd watch movies together, tell each other stories, but Kaspar's favorite would have to be The Adventures of Mad Max, a story about a young boy who had another life killing monsters. He recalled some of his favorites, such as a hydra, which they had both seen in Hercules too, and a cyclopes, a one-eyed beast. Maximilian didn't tell his son that these tales were actually real-life experiences.
Over the years, Kaspar has received tremendous amounts of treatments. A week before his thirteenth birthday, he was granted a miracle. Doctors didn't think that he would last long, but Kaspar's strength proved them wrong. He received a stem cell transplant that paved the way for his recovery, and eventually, his discharge from the hospital. By then, he was four months away from his fourteenth birthday.
Kaspar believed that since his recovery, he would be allowed to lead a normal life now. His father, on the other hand, didn't think that it would be safe to rush him into new activities. It was unbelievable for him: he finally got the chance to be a normal, healthy boy for once and his father wasn't giving him the opportunity to? It resulted to a small rift between the two and Kaspar retreated to his new room. Maximilian hired an interior designer to completely redo Kaspar's room to his liking. During his recovery, he remembered a kind woman next to his dad, asking him questions about his preferences. It was a nice change for once and the woman didn't look at him with an ounce of pity in her pretty hazel eyes. As he sat on his bed, flicking through channels on his new 70-inch plasma screen TV, his father went to his room. The clock suggested that it was time for Maximilian to tell another one of his bed time stories, but tonight was different. Tonight, he told him the entire story about his mom.
Kaspar wasn't sent to a school due to his father's wariness, and instead, had the same private tutor he had when he was a kid teach him at home.
The next night, Maximilian returned to tell the story about his childhood, how he grew up in a farm in the south and was lucky enough to be granted a scholarship to the school he graduated from in New York. Kaspar's grandmother died of cardiac arrest a few days before his high school graduation, which urged Maximilian to become a cardiologist.
The following nights were the same. Kaspar figured that his father just ran out of stories to tell, but he was wrong. On the last night, his father told him about a summer camp he went to in New York, the same time he was there for his scholarship. The place was called Camp Half-Blood. As his father drawled on, the more Kaspar was beginning to realize that the setting was similar to the one in his Mad Max stories. That is when he demanded the truth. Maximilian sighed and began to explain a side of their family that no one else aside from grandma knew: that they had ties to Greek gods. It was evident that Kaspar didn't get any sleep that night, his mind racing with his father's stories about the camp. But one thing was for sure: he wanted to go to Camp Half-Blood.
Next morning, Kaspar brought up the idea at the breakfast table, igniting his father's outrage. Maximilian didn't believe his son was fit to be sent to the camp, but that aroused Kaspar's own fury and he started to retort every single statement his father said. That's when he realized that the world was not only unfair, but cruel as well. Even with his grandparents being the patrons of good health, her own son had to acquire cancer.
Much to his dismay, his father returned that night. They had a long talk, discussing the pros and cons of going to Camp Half-Blood. It lasted until 2 am and as his father got up to leave his room, he said something barely audible that Kaspar almost didn't catch it. It was just one sentence and three words: "Pack your bags."
The next morning, the two sought to New York. Kaspar almost couldn't contain his excitement as they settled into their business class seats. Finally he was finally going to be seen as a normal boy, at least on demigod terms. He was thankful that he kept fighting his cancer, believing that this was his shot at a normal life. Before the plane took off, he noticed a girl with a cannula looped through her ears, giving her oxygen she needed. A boy by her side, an obvious limp in his walk, and a perfectly healthy mother. In that moment, he realized his mother let him have cancer because she knew that he was strong enough to fight when some people aren't. Hopefully his mother would give him the same guidance when he would arrive at Camp Half-Blood.
