THE BEGINNING

                    In Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief a young boy named Percy Jackson is a dyslexic teenager who on a field trip for his school finds out he is different from most of the kids his age and later that day finds out he is a half-blood. Half-bloods are children of Greek gods and mortals and evil monsters of the darkness like minotaurs, while on his way to camp half-blood located in a secret forest outside of NY city, and his mother is killed by a minotaur. Percy soon finds out that he is the child of one of the three major gods, Poseidon. Poseidon has not had a child with a mortal in hundreds of years and Percy has become the only half-blood who's father is Posiedon, King of the Sea.

Everyone at camp half-blood was startled that Poseidon had finally had a child with a mortal and I could only imagine what Percy was thinking when his life turned from having an average life completely flip flopping into being known as a super star at camp half blood having powers that none of the others showed. Could you imagine your life being turned inside out at a random time in your life?
