Son of Hades, blessed by Persephone

Arius is the son of Hades and a demigod, Morgan, the daughter of Hekate. He was conceived when Morgan, who had fallen for Hades, went down to the Underworld and disguised herself as Persephone. It took a couple of months before they realized what had happened, which made Persephone angry. She planned on going after the demigod but Eileuthyia, the goddess of Childbirth, and Hekate, goddess of Witchcraft, Magic, and Ghosts, stopped her explaining that she was pregnant.

Hekate and Persephone made a deal that once Morgan had had the child, Persephone could kill her for her deeds. Once the child was born, Morgan was killed and Persephone went to bring the child to the Underworld to raise him as her own, Zeus stopped her saying that the child was a demigod and couldn't be raised by her and Hades.

Because of this, Arius was raised as an orphan and was constantly being tossed from home to home because of his ADHD, Dyslexia, and his notoriously short temper. He had very few friends until he met Neith, another demigod.

Daughter of Athena, Hunter of Artemis

Neith is the daughter of Athena, and a mortal, Johnathon, an archeologist. She decided to join the hunters after watching one of her half sisters get eaten by a cyclops. She is the second-in-command to the Lieutenant, because of her natural intelligence and battle prowess though her fear of spiders does get in the way.

She met Arius when her and the other hunters helped Camp Half-Blood bring demigods back to the camp. While she was undercover at a highschool, she found multiple jocks attacking a 13 year old kid but before she could intervene, she watched as Arius lashed out and took all four jocks down by himself.

She quickly realized what he was and took him to Camp Half-Blood, which is where their friendship blossomed as Arius had taken to following her around like a small brooding duckling. At first she was agitated but after closer examination she realized that he didn't really seem to fit in anywhere.

Son of Asclepius, blessed by Apollo

Aeson is the son of Asclepius and a mortal woman who could see through the mist, Avana, who was actually already raising a daughter of Apollo, Merida, who was already going to Camp Half-Blood. Because of this, Apollo decided to bless his grandson.

As he grew up he expressed in interest in being a doctor or a healer which excited his 'sister' and his mom, who both thought it would be a good fit for him.

His best friend is also another demigod who had been going to the same school as him since kindergarten. Felix and Aeson were almost complete opposites but that actually made them closer.

Son of Dionysus

Felix is the son of Dionysus, and a mortal, though it unknown who she was. He grew up in a foster home with surprisingly good parents. Felix was an absolute wild child, who loved to play outside and adored parties, and grape juice.

He was normally a happy child but sometimes it was almost like a switch would flip and he would be thrown into a wild rage. Most people tended to avoid him because of that, but Aeson didn't see anything wrong with his temper and befriended him.

When they were finally taken to Camp Half-Blood when they were twelve they both instantly began trying to befriend the hostile Arius. After awhile they began to wonder if he had any friends but when the Hunters of Artemis came to visit they saw how close him and one of the Hunters were which shocked them as the Hunters of Artemis were notorious for their hatred of men.

^^ i have a story for this funnily enough

so all my life i've told my parents that i'd never be a nurse cuz syringes and large amounts of blood loss in real time trigger me

now imagine their reaction when i ask for a caduceus necklace for christmas cause, hi Lord Hermes devotee here :3, i want it for worship purposes- hell it wasn't only them, it was my whole fuckin family (i live in a big family of nurses)

all of them almost in unison just go "are you going to be a nurse after all?"

KEEP IN MIND I ALSO ASKED FOR BOOKS ON GREEK MYTHOLOGY ALONGSIDE THE NECKLACE SO IDK HOW I COULD'VE MADE MY SEMI-CLOSETED HELPOL ASS ANY CLEARER

i obviously said no and they explained to me that it was a symbol of medicine and me being a pretty well versed in the mythos just got so damn confused and proceed to explain the confusion between asclepius's staff and hermes' caduceus to them :)

+ NYC has trash cans from the department of sanitation that have the caduceus on it and it gets to me a lot even though i use those trash cans as an indicator that Lord Hermes is with me (i sometimes feel like i hear his confusion whenever i pass by them)

+ the only medical center i know that uses asclepius' staff instead of the caduceus is an urgent care/hospice place that's in front of a highschool near my home

so ye i rage daily knowing that our government uses the wrong symbol for healthcare :,)

A little fun fact I love is that the reason why many hospitals and medical things have Hermes' staff thing on them,dispite him not being a medicines God, is simply because someone at some point mixed it up with the God of medicine (not Apollo) who's staff has only one snake and no ones fixed it for some reason.

Blessed Asklepia! 🐍💛

On the eighth day of Elaphebolion, we honor the goo Asklepios, the immortalized son of Apollon and god of healing. We ask for health and wellness from the beneficent Asklepios, and honor Him with offerings. To celebrate today I have given Asklepios offerings of wine, milk, and honey, along with incense and candles anointed in frankincense & dragon's blood.

I hope they can protect you of any sickness and if you have one,they can heal you,have a good Sunday ☀️⚕️

Digital Offering to Lord Apolo and Lord Asclepius

I am not devoted to either of them (yet),but I really need their help for a sick relative and since they are gods who heal, I hope they can listen to me (plus today is Sunday, the day of the sun, the day of Apollo).

The fact that Python is Apollo's greatest enemy and snake is Asclepius' sacred animal will always be funny
