Chapter 1: Percy POV

The day it all went wrong is when the gods took away the mist. Mortals could see monsters and demigod power now, we came out of hiding. Showed the world what we could do, showed them we could help them. They didn't like that, 'too powerful' they said, 'will destroy us'. None of that was true, but they didn't believe us. So they made us wear a sign.
