This is one of the few secrets I'll reveal to you: I am a demigod. Half Greek-god, half human. Also another one: of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. If you start reading this and you feel what I call the "Stirrings", you must find help immediately. Of course, I go around recruiting people like you who have powerful Stirrings so I can get you guys to safety, but really, I can't teleport whenever you need me to. So listen carefully. You're already in immediate danger. And they're right near you.
Monsters. Remember the Greek myths, the tales of the great heroes like Hercules, of the great Olympian gods like Zeus, and of the vicious monsters like the Minotaur? Well, they roam the country. I expect you to live in the United States, as the US is the glowing coals of Western Civilization these days, but monsters can really, be anywhere, so if you live somewhere else, you might not be that safe either. Anyway, whenever a demigod uses a piece of technology- magic and technology usually equals ka-boom, but whenever they do, you must know- monsters can sniff you aura. Yes, your aura. Anyway, since the Modern Civilization started to combine with Western Civilization, monsters are more linked to modern technology then ever before. they can trace your aura through the very complicated routes of electromagnetic waves of the internet satellites, TV, anything you use. You ought to be careful.
Before you run out of time, I want to tell you what I can about the Stirrings. Do you know the Percy Jackson books? Yes, the one you craze about- by the way, the Blood of Olympus should come out, shouldn't it? Anyway, yes, they are real. Rick Riordan tries to explain things, but he tends to drift off into stories of quests and whatnot, so this website- er, blog, will be your ultimate Demigod Guide to surviving in the world. So far, did you feel something, flurry within you? A passion? Perhaps even hunger, at least? If you felt anything at all, anything, you have a high chance of being a demigod. If you felt a sudden surge of anger or adrenaline, you're probably an Ares kid. Wanted to throw a lightning bolt in my face and electrocute me? Zeus. Wanted to splash me with a bucket of salty water? Poseidon. Did you suddenly seek to kiss my lips and flirt? Aphrodite, undoubtedly? This is another unusual one, but did you suddenly want to hammer a sword? Unusual for that kind of Stirring (actually, no Hammering Stirring has happened in about... 18 years..), but probably Hephaestus, and so on and so forth. There will be many more chapters describing how to live, eat, and manage yourself on your trip to Camp Half-Blood.
