History: Edward Murray had worked at the same graveyard digging up graves since he got to Chattanooga back in the 1960's. Around town he was known as old man tomb stone and parents warned their kids to get away from him. Despite having absolutely no friends Edward was happy with his life living in the small house at the edge of the graveyard provided for the on site undertaker. You would think it odd that he would be happy being all alone for fourty years only recieving scorn from his fellow man and you would be right it is very odd. However Edward had a secret that he never told a soul or at least a living one.

Edward Murray was born with the rare gift of being a psychic medium and communed regularly with the ghosts who shared his home, He was never truly alone and he always had someone to talk to if not touch, His only regret in life was that he could not touch any of his friends. In particular he wanted to touch one of his dearest friends Melody Black who was a beautiful ghost who started showing up off and on in his graveyard sometime in the 1970's. He new that he would only be happy in death where he could persue her to his hearts content.

However in truth Melody Black was actually Melinoe in disguise and to be honest she had become quite fond of the quiet hard working man who had fallen in love with her years ago. One night in late october she decided to visit him sensing that he was only a week from joining her eternal haunt so she decided to grant him his last wish, With that in mind she waited til the old man who loved her went to lie down for the night so she could have privare time with him.

Just as edward had finished putting on his sleeping robe Melinoe appeared before him and she revealed all that she had hidden from him. Though he was hurt by the secrecy he forgave her because he could not harbor ill feelings towards the one he loved. However he could feel confusion towards her especially since he did not understand why she revealed herself to him now instead of after his death. That is how Melinoe revealed her desire to grant his last wish.

Edward and Melinoe spent that night wrapped in each others arms and though it was just one more man in a long chain of men for Melinoe, she was the only woman Edward had ever been with in that manner, As Edward finally released himself he drew his final shuddering breath and joined Melinoe forever, Or at least that was the way it was supposed to work after all old men are supposed to lack potency. However Edward surprised Melinoe that night and together they concieved a child.

Which is exactly how young Agatha was left on the doorstep of the local catholic church nine months later with her ghostly father anxiously watched as his only child was whisked into the arms of the local priest who immediately called 911 to tell them someone left a child on his churches doorstep. As Agatha grew within the Tennessee foster care system she was avoided by her pears. Though she was unfailingly polite she was also very creepy to the other children. At the age of five Agatha picked up sewing learning to make her own clothing from the ghost of an old civil war seemstress. Just like her father before her she was lonely to the untrained eye but with the spirits around her she was never alone.

Old Edward never truly left his daughter and knowing what his daughter would one day face he taught his only child to hunt with a bow and arrow. She learned from her father how to make her own bow from trees and she learned how to shoot from a distance. At the age of 12 having had enough of the other girls stealing her clothes and leaving them shredded Agatha ran off into the woods to take care of herself,

One day when Agatha was about 14 she saw something rather strange while she was hunting. It appeared to be a giant black wolf with red eyes. Scared that she would be hurt by the gargantuan beast standing before her about 15 paces away she drew an arrow and fired straight into the middle of the beasts head. She was therefored terrified when her trusty arrow went right through its head.

Immediately Agatha turned around and began to run for her life with the beast who she couldn't shoot began to chase her in earnest. Agatha didn't even bother worrying about her beautiful dress she had made just last week from the hide of a buck she had shot for her dinner and so the dress began to rip and tear horribly. Finally unable to take the suspense any longer Agatha turned around and as it tends to happen in every movie ever when you turn around to look you trip over a root. Just as Agatha was preparing to die and the beast was preparing to lunge Agatha heard the oddest sound which she later learned was pan flute music.

Agatha watched in wonder as the tree she had landed on when she tripped reached up and grabbed the beast just as it began to get off the ground. The tree then proceeded to squish the poor beast until rather confusingly the giant beast which should have fed her for a month went and turned into golden dust. Immediately following that rather anticlimactic ending her savior came out of from behind the tree. Poor Agatha had apparently had one to many shocks because as soon as she saw her saviors goat legs she passed out.

Only to come to infront of a campfire in her forest with her savior using her pan to deep fry some potatoes he must have brought with him and chopped up. After seeing Agatha was awake her savior explained everything which was backed up by her father who confirmed it for her. So with this knowledge in hand and some celestial bronze arrows added to her normal ones made from sticks, sharp stones and game bird feathers Agatha and her furry companion began her year long journey to Camp Half-Blood only this time Agatha was determined to go to tartarus before she allowed herself to be an outcast again.
