Notus was attracted to Katy - Anson's mother - when she was helping her family harvesting their farm in Oklahoma. She just finished college and decided to take a break by helping her family when she met Notus for the first time. Notus didn't reveal who he really was to Katy at first, he just said that he was a backpacker that was staying in a town near Katy's family farm.

Katy found Notus as a charming man - a little brash at times, but funny and energetic. It was no wonder that they became close in a short amount of time, until finally they shared a bed together not long after they first met.

A couple of days later, Notus had to go back to his duties and so he left by saying to Katy that he needed to continue his journey. Katy was sad for loosing a good company like Notus, but she decided to regard her relationship with Notus as just another fling. Unfortunately, three months later she found out that she was pregnant. Her parents were livid and disowned her so that she was forced to live with her friend for a while.

One night Notus appeared before Katy and revealed who he really was. After accepting that Greek gods still exists, Katy was being informed by Notus that their child will be a demigod and therefore Notus was forbidden to help raising the child himself. He also explained about Camp Half-Blood and advised Katy to send their child to that camp after the child reached the age of twelve, where the child will learn things about being a demigod and also be able to meet other demigods, and more importantly it will be saver for the child there, since demigods attracts monsters' attention and it'll be very dangerous for the child to live outside of camp after the age of twelve. Notus finally left, but not before leaving a silver pendant for Katy to give to their son.

Katy started her life alone at Oklahoma City, working as a staff in a contractor's company. In time, she gave birth to a baby boy that she named Anson. As a demigod of a minor god, Anson didn't attract much attention from monsters, and so he was able to live normally with Katy. If only Anson weren't a dyslecsic and also had ADHD, their life would be a perfect single-parent-family life.

Although Anson was mostly able to live his early years as normal as any mortal child, there were times when some monsters attracted to his presence. There was an incident when Anson was still in kindergarten involving a horned snake that hid in the sandbox and tried to bit him, but somehow the snake ended dried up like a shriveled prune. His teachers said that it was just a strayed horned viper, but Katy was not so sure since horned vipers usually didn't have four antlers above their heads. Then she remembered what Notus said about monsters likes to attack demigods so she started to read more about Greek myth and she found out that it was a Cerastes that had nearly bit Anson. Another time when Anson was still in the first grade, he found a weird snake-like animal while he was practicing with his junior soccer club. It had two front legs without any hind legs, but that wasn't the weirdest part about the creature he found since that creature had two heads, one on its supposed place on its neck amd there was another one at the tip of its tail. This time the creature nearly did get to bit Anson, but when its mouth nearly got to Anson's calf, it was suddenly caught up in some kind of invisible tornado and flung away. This time, when Anson told Katy about the creature, she immediately recognized it as Amphisbaena.

But Anson's encounters with those two snake-like creatures are nothing compared to one other creature that approached Anson when he was in fifth grade. This creature was more dangerous since it had a woman-like form, and it approached Anson with a very friendly manner. Anson who didn't know anything about Greek mythical creatures welcomed the creature's friendly advances, but thankfully Katy found out about it in time. When she got home from work, she saw Anson was walking home accompanied by a woman dressed in white. At first Katy didn't think much about it, but when Anson turned his head away from the woman, Katy saw that the woman's face turned into a face with hideous features. She shouted to Anson to get into their house, and the woman's face reverted back into its normal face. That very evening Katy brought Anson to sleep in a hotel, and the next day she sold their house and find another place to live. If there are any good reason to move, having her son being stalked by a man-eating Nife might be the best reason ever.

Apart from those - and some other - random encounters, Anson grew up to be a healthy and happy boy. When he reached the age of twelve, Katy decided to keep him close to her and didn't send him to camp, and also didn't reveal to Anson about his identity as a demigod. She knew that she was tempting fate by keeping Anson from camp, but she just wasn't ready to let her son go.

When Anson finished school at the age of 18, Katy gave him the pendant from Notus as a graduation present, telling him that it was a memento from Anson's father but she still refused to tell Anson anything about his father. Anson pestered Katy for information about who his father really was, but Katy never said anyhting more than that his father was a "very charming traveler".

  Anson decided to continue his education to college at Oklahoma University. He just started his first semester there when one day he noticed that sometimes a large man was following him at campus.

One night, after a night out with his friends, he was walking towards his dorm when he felt the man's presence again. This time, Anson decided to confront the unknown man about why he'd followed Anson around all this time.

The man just grinned at Anson's question. Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew, and somehow Anson saw the man's features blurred like as if a 'mist' had been covering the man all this time, and now the wind had blown that mist away. When the wind stopped, Anson saw that the man was not only large. He was gigantic - more than two feet tall with bulky body - and one thing that made Anson nearly thought that he was dreaming was that the man had only one eye right above the bridge of his nose.

The one eyed giant had a thick wooden club in his hand, and he suddenly attacked Anson with it. Anson barely dodged the attack, but he fell down because of it. The giant attacked again, but this time Anson didn't have time to move away. Anson screamed a little while raising his hand to try to protect his head. Out of nowhere, Anson felt a hot gust of wind rotating fast around him and it created a barrier that protected him and deflected the giant's attack and even flung him away.

<font size="4" color="White" face="Sylfaen">Anson felt his strength was draining, and with it, the wind barrier also died down. He fell down to his knees, his head dizzy from his depleting energy and all those strange things that had happened. The giant slowly regained his wits, and continued making his way toward Anson who was still unable to move.

<font size="4" color="White" face="Sylfaen">Suddenly an unknown person ran toward the giant and attacked him. While the man was fighting the giant, a faint voice echoed in Anson's head, telling him to touch his pendant. Anson did just that without thinking, and to his surprise he felt that his pendant was transforming into a hilt of a sword, and when he pulled it away, he saw that he really was holding a sword in his hand. Groggily trying to stand up, Anson recklessly decided to join the fight and he ran straight toward the giant Anson felt a strong gust of wind forming behind him, pushing him faster. The monster was busy fighting the other man, so he didn't feel Anson was coming from behind. Anson raised his sword, and he slashed it right onto the giant's side. The giant was only able to screamed a little when he slowly changed into golden dust. As the dust dissipated, Anson lost all his strength and let go of his sword which clattered onto the concrete ground and slowly disappeared. That was the last thing Anson remembered before he fell unconscious.

When he came to, Anson found that the person that had attacked the giant was tending him. He introduced himself as Michael. He explained to Anson that he was a demigod, and so does Anson. Michael said that he was once a camper in a camp that he called Camp Half Blood, and he was wondering what a demigod as old as Anson was doing outside of camp, seemingly didn't know how to use his own powers, or even how to defend himself against a cyclops.

Anson was confused with all the things Michael said, and so he decided to bring Michael back to his dorm to continue their conversation there. In Anson's dorm room, Michael continued his explanations. He said, the fact that Anson was attacked without reason by a cyclops was proof that Anson was a demigod. That, plus the fact that Anson was able to summon a wind barrier to protect himself, left no doubt about Anson's identity as a demigod, although Michael didn't know who Anson's godly parent was since there were more than one wind dieties exists.

Michael continued to explain to Anson about Camp Half-Blood, where demigods like Anson and Michael himself went to learn about being a demigod, and also learn how to fight against monsters that will always try to attack demigods. When Anson asked about why Michael was not at camp, Michael said that he'd had enough of camp, and he wanted to start his life outside of camp as a normal person. He was in the middle of a journey to find a place where he might stay permanently, when he wandered into Oklahoma University's campus and found Anson was being attacked by a cyclops.

Maybe it was the adrenalin rush, or maybe it was just Eros playing his usual tricks on him, but Anson found Michael to be very attractive. Anson just wasn't able to look at Michael's face for too long without blushing. Michael also noticed Anson's behavior, and he inquired about it, but Anson couldn't bring himself to answer. Michael touched Anson's arm, and it felt like an electric current ran from where Michael touched him all the way to his head, and Anson knew that his face was blushing fiercely at particular moment.

Finally Michael understood what was happening, and he smiled a little. Slowly he moved forward and land a soft kiss on Anson's lips. Anson unwittingly lost his control, and he reacted to Michael's kiss by embracing him. From a soft kiss, it evolved into a more rigorous things, and the next thing he knew, Michael had become the first person that Anson had slept with.

Anson had always knew that he was attracted to man since he was in middle-shool, but he never really thought about it or acted anything because of it. It was a mad thing, Anson just knew Michael for a couple of hours, but he was already unable to resist his desires toward him.

In the morning, Michael accompanied Anson to Anson's home to talk to Katy - Anson's mom. When they got there, Katy was just preparing to go to work, and she was surprised to see Anson came.

Anson told Katy about what happened with the cyclopse, how Michael had saved him, and also about him already knowing about Camp Half-Blood from Michael - leaving the part about what had happened between him and Michael. Katy finally realized that the time had come for her to explain everything to Anson. She told Anson that his father was Notus, and he had advised Katy to send Anson - their child - to Camp Half-Blood, and she also explained about why she didn't send him there when she was supposed to.

After discussing it further, Anson decided to drop his college life for now and go to the camp. After saying their goodbyes, and promising that he'll be back after he learned how to fight to protect himself against monsters, Anson departed toward New York by plane accompanied by Michael.

After they arrived in New York, they hopped on a taxi and went to a place that Michael called Half-Blood Hill. It was already late evening when they got there, and Anson was barely able to see the pine tree on top of the hill in the evening sunlight.

Michael continued escorting Anson until they reached the camp’s borders - the pine tree. There they parted ways, but Michael asked Anson to look for him if he ever decided to leave camp, and Anson gave his promise to do that. They shared one last kiss before Anson turned to walk across the camp borders.

As his feet touched the camp grounds for the first time, Anson was circled by gusts of wind that seemed like a hug that his father may never give him. As the wind stopped, Anson saw his head was bathed in light that came emanating from a symbol that hovered above his head, the symbol of Notus.
