You, Luke Castellan, and Thalia Grace were demigods who had run away from home and ended up bumping into each other. The three of you were walking around the streets of Virginia after getting chased by a monster. You all had heard a sound coming from the alley.
Carefully, Thalia held out a dagger as she walked into the dark alleyway. But, instead of a monster, it was a little girl. Probably around the age of seven with blonde hair. The three of you didn't want to take her and drag her into any more danger, but when you all saw her fight... oh boy, your perspective changed real quickly. The girl's name was Annabeth and ended up coming along on your journey.
Along the way, you fought monsters, protected each other, and created temporary shelters every now and then. As of now, you all were walking through a forest on guard. Luke on your right side, and Thalia on your left with a sleeping Annabeth on her back.
