It all started one night at a Night Club. She was there at the bar sitting there when at the edge of her eye she saw a handsome young man. At that moment she fell in love with him, and the same was for the young man. She introduced herself and then got to the man, Nick Connor Anderson. He left her with his phone number on the table.
But it wasn't long when on a business trip to Orlando she met a dazzling man named Zeus. She was walking down the street with him to her hotel after having dinner, she heard a footstep behind her, and when she turned around she saw a man holding a sword. Right away Zeus ran after him, he then out of his bag he took a lightning bolt out of his pocket and it emit a lightning bolt at the man. Then shock caused the Eidolon possessing the man to reveal it self and then it fled away. Then Maria began to wonder, why would a normal man wield a lightning bolt, then it came to her mind that a Greek God that shares the same name as him also wields a lightning bolt. Then she went to Zeus and asked, "Are you Zeus, then king of the Greek Gods." Then Zeus replied, "Yes, I am." That night she realized that Zeus was not just any regular man, and that he was Zeus, the king of the gods.
One day at school, he was at a Greek Pantheon Museum with his class guided by his supply teacher Ms. Garton, who he found weird as she always had her chihuahua with her. As they entered he saw Ms. Garton wave to him to come with her. Out of curiosity he asked: "Ms. Garton, why do you always have your chihuahua with you?" "Why this is not a regular chihuahua!" Then the cute Chihuahua morphed into a hideous Chimera. It came charging at him and breathed fire onto Andrew. To save himself, he jumped into a nearby fountain extinguishing the fire. All soaked he jumped out, he ran to her and out of rage he created a giant field of lightning stunning her. Utilizing that time, Andrew ran to door and he saw that his class was leaving he ran after them and look back to see that Ms. Garton was not behind her. On the bus he asked his friends about Ms. Garton, but nobody new about her, it was like she never existed.
In the next few weeks they went out and then two months later Maria became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, Andrew Vince Anderson. He lived a normal life until one day. That day was his tenth birthday, they were heading to New York City to celebrate his birthday. They were on the road for two hours already and then it began to rain. The storm became worse. They were driving until they saw a god, when they came closer the puppy morphed into Hellhound. The Hellhound attacked the car and flipped it over. His dad trying to save Andrew's life told him to leave and told him to head north, do not stop until you enter a camp known as: "Camp Half-Blood."
He pulled himself out, he was in pain as every step was draining the life out of him. He was hurt but he won't give up, he must live to get revenge for his parents. He slowly limped towards the woods. He tried to move quietly and not reveal his location. But he could not take it anymore, hew was just so much in pain. He snapped a twig on the ground, this caught the attention of the Hellhound and it came towards him, Andrew knew that it was ready to end his life. Then a lighting came and struck down from the sky, the Hellhound vaporized into dust. Before he blacked out he heard a voice in his head: "Son, I'm sorry that I was never there for you, the only thing I could do to help you is to save your life." Although the voice seems familiar he had no idea who it was. Then he blacked out.
When he woke up he was in a cabin, there were people beside him. He got up, and he realized all of his wounds were healed, although every part of his body ached. "Hey welcome to Camp Half-Blood! You're in the Hermes' cabin because you never got claimed yet. You've been knocked out cold for five days!" He was full of anger, that day he vowed that he would one day slay the Hellhound that had killed his mom and step-dad. That night he had dinner with the rest of the demigods. They were all friendly to him and he began to feel more comfortable at camp. He got to know the others and Mr. D and Charon. This was a very special night for him, while they were chatting, a lightning bolt sign appeared above Andrew's head, although he did not know what it meant, everyone knelt and said, "All hail Andrew Anderson, son of Zeus, the god of honor, justice, lightning, and the skies and the lord of Olympus." Then he realized he has been claimed by his father, Zeus. This began his demigod life and that was just the beginning of the rise of a new hero!
After spending time at camp for four years, one night at his cabin, he had a dream, in this nightmare he saw his parents trapped in Tartarus, in the background he heard a voice, "Andrew, come to me and give me your soul and your parents will be freed!" Then he woke up, and he realized it was all a dream. But it wasn't what he though it was, every night he would have a different dream, yet in very dream he could see his parents in pain. Then at midnight he confronted the Oracle, she spoke to him the prophecy:
Deep in the realm of dead
In the abyss of Dread
The souls of the two mortals has been vanquished
By a enemy that stays dormant in the deepest part of Tartarus, banished.
The next day, he along with two demigods, Katie, daughter of Athena, and Derek, son of Poseidon, and a satyr, Gerald, embarked on a quest in hopes of rescuing Andrew's parents and finding the identity of the banished stranger. Their quest went well. But all good things have went downfall. On their way home, there was a storm, unable to head back to Camp Half-Blood yet, they stopped at a hotel to rest, Lotus Hotel and Casino. They walked in and a man came, offering them a nice suite, they accepted it and they toured the hotel. Before having dinner, they decided to play some games. Andrew walked down the rows of games, a weird thing was that the people in the hotel wore some pretty old day clothing. After passing some people he found a game with nobody at it, it was "The Apocalypse", which was a first person zombie shooting game. He was a huge fan of these types of games, he loved to play them back at home. After ten minutes, a waitress offered him a Lotus flower. Meanwhile, Gerald was walking around the hotel, he asked a man, "What day is today?", he asked, as he hadn't kept track of time on the quest. "Today is July 24th, 1975." Then something came to his mind, people are wearing these different clothes, and one person said the year is 1975. Then he realized what was happening, people came here at different times, only to be brought into a trance and kept in here for years. Then he ran looking for the others.
Andrew was walking to the restaurant inside the hotel when he heard someone call his name. He saw Gerald run to him, Gerald told him what he found out, but Andrew didn't want to leave. When a waitress came to offer them a Lotus Flower, Gerald just knocked it out of her hands. He took a bottle of water from the table and splashed it into Andrew's face and he said, "Andrew, Snap out of it!" This woke Andrew up and made him snap out of the trance. He ran and found the others. They also did not want to leave, the only way they could get them out is by dragging them out of the hotel, denying all upgrades and free casino cards. He went to a newspaper stand and checked the date of today's newspaper, it said: January 2nd, 2012. They have been stuck in the hotel for nearly a year.
They went home on a taxi, paying using the casino card they got from the hotel. Back at New York, he decided to spend time with his family, after almost losing them. Pretty soon one year has passed and he decided to go back to camp so he can go back to training.
