Ok, so here is what you need to know about being a demigod, or to find out. You usually have ADHD, ADD, or dyslexia. You mave have them all, but you still might not be a demigod. Usually you have instincts, like why Starbucks is so popular and how that hobo on your block looks super suspicious. Things like that. Also, horrible irrational fears. Spiders. Nope, they live in Nopeville population; Not Me.
Anyway, you will also experience monster attacks. Let's work on how to spot them before they spot you.
Instincts are key, they honestly are life and death responses. Just because to your mortal friends it may seem silly that you think the cashier at your supermarket is off and your friends find them hot, don't dismiss the instinct. As much as you want to, it will always be there, and embrace it. Do all you can to get away, make excuses, just plain run off. Always carry some form of Celestial bronze with you, it kills monsters.
Monsters don't stay dead, they just wind up in Tartarus, regenerating to kill some more people. Trust me, when they are reforming it is pretty gross. You have to be on high alert all the time, I had a friend who woke up to a monster at her window.
The monster lost.
Back on track... Where was I?
Oh, monster identification.
You can't always spot them, but be ready. You will fall victim to the Mist and wind up dead if you don't focus. That is all I can tell you, since Seaweed Brain really wants to get his chapter over with.
