History
Hi! I'm Alec! Son of Iris. I've only been here for a couple days, but I've always known I was a half-blood. My father was always against withholding information, especially from his own kid. I was always told that I was a half-blood, and I was told plenty of stories about my mother, Iris.

Dad always had a weird thing for rainbows. He always liked looking at them and would wait for the rain to be over, just to see if one would show up. One day, Dad was out at lunch with a friend when a woman walked by. Instantly, he was transfixed, and absolutely in love with her. He caught up to her and the two started talking as they walked down the street, eventually exchanging contact information so they could meet again.

I was born around a year after they met, probably from some accident during a heated night. I grew up being told stories about the Greek gods, being told exactly who I was. I knew that no one would ever believe me if I told anyone, and Dad always told me to keep it secret from everyone. When I was growing up, I wasn't particularly popular. I spent a fair bit of time reading, especially reading stories of the Gods. I mean, who wouldn't be more interested in mythology, knowing that those events really happened.

I didn't really do well in school, honestly. Obviously, the ADHD didn't really help, but even then, I still just had a hard time really paying attention in class, had a hard time really doing the work. I never really had many friends, and didn't make any real connections with the other kids in my grade.

My twelfth birthday was pretty fun, I guess. I had a bunch of friends over from school. Okay, I had one friend over from school. At least it was that one kid who actually liked me, you know? He was a couple years older than me, and seemed like he cared about me. Especially when we got attacked that day.

I guess the scent of two half-bloods was too much for this harpy to resist. As it swooped down, it struck me across the chest, sending me flying back. My friend drew a sword from nowhere, swinging quickly at the harpy. I completely froze up, scared to death of the creature I was seeing. All my life, creatures had been described to me, but seeing a harpy in real life was so much worse than I ever imagined. The claws reached towards me, but out of nowhere, the sword swung down, slamming against the hard claws and pushing them aside. All I could do was back up and try to avoid getting hit. By the time I was able to bring myself to move, my friend had taken the harpy down, and we both watched it disappear in a small cloud of dust.That was when I was given the ring. The one that magically turned into a dagger, but people didn't ever notice the dagger.

I didn't really focus to hard on the monster attack, and it only took a few months for me to let the memory fade away into the back of my head. I knew it was a risk, and that the creatures would absolutely find me again. I never formally trained on how to fight or anything like that, but I got by. A lot of scratches, a lot of scrapes, a few broken bones. I managed to pull out a few kills across the years. A Hellhound just before my thirteenth birthday, a pair of Stymphalian Birds a few months after, and, closer to the end of my 8th grade, another Harpy, although I got lucky when I ran into the street and watched it get steamrolled by a truck driving down the street.

After telling Dad about my last attack from a Harpy, he decided that it was time for me to move somewhere I could train and learn how to be a proper Half-blood. With my dagger on my finger as a ring, and a bunch of books in my bag, Dad drove me all the way to Camp Half-Blood himself, dropped me off at the front gate and said goodbye for the summer.
