Before you read any further: I claim no ownership of the similarities to that of Percy Jackson, RWBY, and Harry Potter. They are owned by their own respectful authors. I did mix their books, movies, anime and fanfictions with my own ideas . I do claim ownership over any character and setting in this story that isn't from Percy Jackson, RWBY, and Harry Potter.
I am a school student in their final year of high school, and this is a side project to the frequency of when each chapter will be out, and the length of the piece may vary but I will aim for one chapter every two weeks and around 1000-1500 words. Thank you for your patience.
Chapter 1: The Beginning (Narrator and Josh)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------First before reading this story,
Think of anytime you thought you saw something like a monster,
Those ones your parents warned you about,
Then close this book, wait for your letter, then they will bring you to us,
Before They get to you.
For those who think it's all fantasy, fun and wonder, keep thinking that,
Never wonder if we are real, we are figments of the authors imaginations
And continue reading,
Welcome to the New Myths, New heroes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Narrator's POV:
Welcome to Asteria, the Academy of the Gifted and Talented.
Welcome to the academy, if you have been invited, you are special, different from the no-mag.
All those stories of mythology and fairy tales are real, told by the descendants of the original heroes of this world.
Demons, Angels, the Fallen, Gods, Heroes, all real, and you are one of them.
This is a paradise for people like us, a safe place from the evils that rid the outside world.
A place to make friends, make alliances, or enemies and thrive to defeat the darkness.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Joshua's POV:
"I got the letter; I got the letter." I think to myself
I walk down the stairs to show mum, she's in the living room reading one of her many books.
She's not really my mum, more of my adopted mother, but after she blessed me, she looked after me more than my real parents, so she inherited their title, Mum.
I walk into the study to see this wonderful lady, with long licorice-black hair, and warm brown eyes you could lose yourself in, appearing tall and graceful, sitting cross legged reading a story, partially seen title "…and The Titan's Curse ", looking disappointed in the book.
I walk up to sit across from her, "bad book?" I question.
"They got me all wrong, silver hair, SILVER HAIR, since when did I have silver hair, eww gross, no offence darling" She responds upset.
"Well I do take much offence; I mean me and arty make it look good." I smile and giggle as I say it.
She replies by rubbing my long shiny silver hair and looking into my discoloured eyes, "Yes you do, my little starlight."
"Eww stop calling me that, I thought you forgot about that nickname." I push away from my mum.
"Never, never will I forget it, it's the nickname given to you by your real mum, and I will always remind you where you are from." Mum replies, warmly smiling.
"Anyways Mum, I got the letter." I read it

"That's very good sweety~ maybe you find some friends, we all know you need some~" Mum says, as she giggles and smiles warmly.
"It's not my fault that the others were afraid of me." I reply with a sigh.
"Sure it isn't, cause you definitely didn't start a fight over some dumb comment another kid said right? Never…" she says sarcastically.
"One time, and he deserved it, I mean I didn't even throw a punch." I tell her, explaining myself.
"No, they just happened to find his perverse notes on some of the teachers and got himself suspended for 2 weeks." She rubs my cheek and smiles warmly knowing I did good as she dislikes violences very much.
See this kid, Matthew I think his name was, bullied me for a few weeks about my 'strange eyes' and 'girly long hair' so to stop further abuse, I may or may not have slipped perverted notes degrading a few of the teachers I hate, and got him suspended.
I mean I couldn't just let him get away with it, and if I threw the punch, then I could get in trouble, so I found the cleanest solution.
"Anyways, how do I send the invitation back, I've signed it and all." I wonder, speaking instead of only thinking.
"Oh don't worry, may I?" She releases her hand out for the note.
I hand her the note, and after a white flash the letter is gone.
(About to break the fourth wall, only to show people, will not make it a normal thing)
Oh I think I forgot to tell you about myself,
Hello, My name is Joshua Astrofengiá, son of Selene, Titaness of the beautiful moon.
and my lovely mother is Hera, the Queen of the Greek Mythology, Goddess of women, marriage, family and childbirth.
After divorcing Zeus, she grew weak as she broke one of her own domains, and when she was at her lows, she found me in an orphanage. I healed her by helping her with another of her domains. Family.
"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what." - quoted by unknown, definitely not mine.
(I didn't make that quote, I found it)
"I guess we will have to see when we get there, it said where it was right?"
