lucas friar always knew he was different -- it was part of the reason why he had such anger issues. not knowing WHO or WHAT you are can do that to a person ( at least he thought that was the only reason ). it was when he was fourteen that he found out the truth. the GOD ares had claimed him as his son when lucas started showing certain abilities. 

after finding out the truth, he could no longer be around his parents ( especially since his father wasn’t his REAL father ). ares came to him in dreams mostly & told him about camp half blood -- a place to train & make him WORTHY of being ares’ son. for the past two years, this is where lucas has lived, trained & made friends -- despite his anger issues.

❝ hi rachel, welcome. how long have you been at camp now? ❞

     “ oh, man, not too long, like, a year? yeah –– a YEAR. ” 

❝ and you’re not the regular camper, right? that is, a demigod? ❞

     “ Why would you ASK me that, if you know I’m not ‘ a regular camper ’ ? ” Her brows raise, a challenge in them. “ No, I’m not –– I’m just the Oracle of Delphi, no godly blood here. Just ambition and a few traces of acrylic paint from that time I accidentally ate paint chips. ”

❝ is it true your middle name is elizabeth, and your initials spell–– ❞

      “ RED? Yeah. ” Her life is just one giant meme, from her crimson-top curls to her HILARIOUS name. 

❝ so, how did you become the oracle of delphi? ❞

      “ I have Lord Apollo to THANK for that. ” The oracle, he’d explained, was given the choice to take on the spirit of the Oracle of Delphi, Pythia, a priestess of Apollo who could foresee the future and made prophecies. Rachel, who’d always lived with visions, and who’s been able to see through the mist for all her life, was given the chance to take on the spirit when a CHANCE encounter –– though she suspected there was more to it now –– with Apollo exposed her sight to him. “ He explained what I’d be giving up. ” Dating –– or rather, sex. The Oracle had to be a virgin, after all. PURE. An outdated concept, but what could she do? “ And I accepted it, and now... here I am. Sometimes my eyes glow green and I sprout green smoke, but it’s NORMAL, really. ” 

❝ was it hard giving that up? ❞

    “ Not really. I was never really interested in sex to start with. Anyways, I’m only 17. ” What she wouldn’t say is this though: it was the dating part that now worried her. The love part. “ Plus, I like being the Oracle. Life at camp is... It’s an amazing ADVENTURE. How could I turn it down? ” 

❝ and what do you do, as the oracle? ❞

     “ I make prophecies. They’re not in my control, or even Lord Apollo’s control, and they usually come RANDOMLY and without warning. ” Embarrassingly, sometimes she even fainted. “ The prophecies are kind of an ON button for demigods, I’m told. When I make a prophecy, it means demigods are about to start dying. ” She smiles. “ Kidding. ” 

❝ okay, so do you live here? where are your parents? ❞

   “ Not always. I go to school in Manhattan, but I come down here when I can. So I’m mostly a summer camper. ” She frowns at the mention of her parents. A small WINCE, really. “ They don’t really CARE as long as I’m going to school. I just say I’m working on my exhibits or something. ” 

❝ well, thanks rachel, anything else you want to add? ❞

                                                                                                                                      NANCY WHEELER / 17 / DAUGHTER OF HECATE / NATALIA DYER
