History: Neal Colton Winchester was born to Nora Winchester on the 17th of February, in 2014. He was always the happy child and was provided with whatever he wished for.

Whenever he asked his mother about his father she'd always say that he's busy working overseas and described him as a very kind, gentle person who loved her and Neal deeply. His mother had met his father on a vacation in Maui.

Ever since he was a child, Neal loved the water. He loved to swim and always felt comfortable when in it. But that didn't explain the "weird stuff" that happened to him over the years.This one time when Neal was 3 years old he fell down from the stairs and into some construction work and go some cuts and dirt all over him. Then it had happened.When he was being washed all his mild cuts had vanished his mother seemed totally calm about this. Or the time he emerged completely dry from the pool when he was 7. Yeah, that was completely normal...

There was this other time when Neal was 10 his school had taken him on a trip to a water-park, Oh Goodie!.....NOT. There was this ride that takes you through mini-waterfalls and tunnels on giant wheel with seats and rims attached to it with seat-belts  and bars. Completely safe. But, Neal managed to fall from a mini-waterfall of height 20 feet and survive without any wounds or any broken bones not even scar. Everyone was freaked out about it. It managed to reach the whole school and everyone knew about it. Of course, that wasn't always a good thing...

He was known as a freak, despite his friendliness and kindness towards others,

" a freak", "demon-spawn". And the ADHD and dyslexia didn't help.

But then again, that doesn't mean he didn't have any friends..

Wally and Cass were his best friends. Wally was a new kid, and they met when Neal was 11 and Cass came a year later.

Wallace Tristan Harper was an American kid with short red hair and blue eyes (Well, that's something you don't see everyday) and a hyperactive demeanor and Cassandra Garfield a cute girl with jet-black hair just like Neal's and icy-blue eyes that went well with her laid back demeanor were his closest friends. And they had ADHD and dyslexia, too. The similarities were uncanny, Neal always thought.

Wally's father was also "working abroad" and his mother was Megan West and like Neal's parent's, weren't married. Cass' father on the other hand, was the famous Jared Garfield, the frontman and lead guitarist for 'Before Aviation', a world-famous rock band. Her dad had met her mom on a world tour in France and were together for a while after her birth until her departure.

The three of them were very happy together for 2 years being the "outcasts" in Maplewell Academy until "that day". The thing is their groundskeeper, Baxter had always been "keeping an eye on the three of them, because Wally and Neal were usually caught playing pranks on other kids. Well Wally did and Neal helped, honestly. They got a note from one of the senior cheerleaders that the coach wanted to meet them in the gym after school hours.The three of them headed towards the gym when they noticed Baxter staring at them through the window and decided to ignore it. When they reached the gym, it was empty. Completely empty. They'd been punk'd, or were they? The cheerleader who'd given them the note earlier, Karen along with her "friends", were standing there.

Suddenly, the cheerleaders didn't quite look like cheerleaders anymore..They all looked quite the same with flaming hair, white skin, red eyes, fangs, and one prosthetic bronze leg and one donkey leg? The trio freaked when they saw them. And one of them hissed "KIIILL THEM" and they ran towards the door which was sealed shut. They were surrounded for a moment, then the unthinkable happened, Baxter broke into the room through the window from the playground (which was deserted, thankfully) and ran towards us, screaming in"GETTAE AWAY FREM THEM YE DAMN VAMPIRES" and pulled out his  6 foot long garden scythe and pressed a button that made an other blade slide out from the other end a made the normal one slide back in. The new bronze color blade cut through one of the three creatures like she was made of butter and the creature turned into dust. Karen attacked him and he managed to dodge it and he swung his scythe and managed to turn the other "cheerleader" into dust as well. The only remaining one was Karen and he managed to dodge her attacks and with the final blow, turned her into dust as well. "Are they dead?", asked Wally who was in shock much  as Cass and Neal were. "Nae, they'll be back" replied Groundskeeper Baxter. Neal never noticed his Scottish accent until now. "Come on, we should get outta here before someone shows up. I'm sure you lot have questions. I'll explain everything on the way to camp" Baxter was a middle-aged Scottish man with curly red hair and always wears a cap.

"Camp?", Neal asked. "Yea, camp", Baxter replied, smiling for some reason.

They hurried out of the school after packing all of their stuff and got in Baxter's car. It was a classic Black 1955 Chevrolet Townsman 210 wagon and we got in and drove off.

"Soooooo, nice weather today, huh?" said Neal and Baxter immediately replied "Haud yer wheesht, Winchester". "What were those things back there?", asked Cass, who'd been silent the whole time. "Yeah, I heard you call them vampires", Wally followed.

"Empousa"

"Emp-who-sa?", Neal asked jokingly

"EmpOUSA or Empousi fer plural, Baxter replied "Or kids these days call them. Vampires"

"Vampires exist....? " asked Cass

"Sure and everyhting else too"

He then explained to them how they were Demigods, or half-bloods, a race of beings who are half human, half god. And how they possess human souls and are vulnerable to old age and death; however, their godly blood endows them with special abilities that allow them to achieve feats not usually possible by humans.

"Huh. That explains so much", Neal answered

"Really, dude?", Wally asked,rolling his eyes

"No, not much" Neal replied

Baxter then explained to them about 'Camp Half Blood' and how it was the safest place for their kind. He said that it was a 4-hour drive from Boston to Long Island, New York where the Camp was Located.

He told them about the twelve Olympian gods,about Olympus about the war with the Titan Kronos and Gaea that had ended 15 years ago about seven demigods and their quests and had told them that he was a Satyr. And how Satyr's are responsible for the bringing the demigods to camp. He removed his cap and revealed his goat horns which Neal and Wally laughed at. Later when Cass asked about who their were, he said that they'll get claimed by our godly parent once they reach camp. He also mentioned that our parents know about the whole demigod deal and had arranged for them to reach Camp Half Blood and be trained there for a while and could contact them through "Iris Messages"

Three unclaimed fifteen year-olds, apparently that wasn't a bad thing.

Once they reached camp, they were greeted by a centaur, whose name was Chiron and since it was night by them invited them for dinner.

The dining hall was out in the open and the scenery around the camp was Beautiful and by the time they finished eating, Cassandra, started to glow pink, literally and in a flash of Light she was this beautiful young lady whose hair had been braided and let down on her right side and she was wearing a beautiful pink dress that went really well with her perfectly tanned skin. Everyone started saying that Aphrodite's child, which meant that she belonged in Cabin 10. It wasn't long before Wally got claimed as the son of Apollo and was placed in Cabin 7.

Neal felt left out as he was the only one among his friends who wasn't claimed yet. But Chiron kept saying that he felt a powerful presence around Neal and was expecting it as much as he was. Soon when Chiron was done welcoming the new claims a weird thing had happened. A truck that read "Hermes Express" had arrived near the stables and a middle-aged man, with a muscular build got out of the truck. They said that he was Hermes himself and he started talking to his children from Cabin 11 and greeted Chiron. He said that he has a letter for a Neal Winchester. Neal went upto him and greeted him. Hermes handed over a white envelope with a blue seal that had a trident on it. "Straight from old Poseidon himself. Read it out-loud Chiron", said Hermes.

Chiron took the letter from Neal and opened the seal and read it:

"Neal Tristan Winchester is my child. My second-born who is being sent to Camp Half-Blood.

~ Poseidon

P.s- Press the Trident on the seal for claim."

When Chiron pressed the trident a bright blue light glowed around Neal and a blue Trident had appeared above his head. Just like it had appeared for his older sibling, Percy....... Neal, Wally and Cas underwent vigorous training under senior members and Chiron. Neal was trained how to use Swords, Tridents and Escrimas. He was finally where he actually belonged. Going on quests, training and having fun at Camp Half Blood with his friends. He is happy.

Weapons: A custom made Modern Trident with one celestial broze tip and the other made of Imperial gold. It is 7-feet long and has a grip for Neal to hold it. It has a switch like thing that when twisted disguises the pen as a ballpoint Cross Pen. It was crafted by a Hephaestus cabin member, Logan Drake as a token of gratitude for saving his life when he was on fire and no-one else was around to save him.
