I'm determined to resume the torrid updating pace that I used to work at around August. So, instead of waiting until I have decent time, I'm going to start this now and hopefully finish today. Well anyway, this is set later in the story a little bit. Time has passed, probably two or three months or something like that, I'll decide when I'm writing it. Kallista has some new abilities, mastered some abilities, and is about to change something that she really wanted to change for awhile now. Forgive me if I'm a bit rusty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am about to turn off reviews for the guests, if you guys don't get your act together. Also, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. It's your own first amendment right to free speech, but whatever happened to manners? If you are a guest, do not give me writing suggestions like "Get Percy and Apollo together" or some stupid shit like that. Point blank, don't do it unless you're willing to give me a five paragraph essay on why they should be together. I am writing the story here. Shut up and read.

Kallista's Perspective

PERCY's Log: Day 109

IT HURTS. GOOD GODS IN OLYMPUS IS HURTS LIKE HELL. WHY IN TARTARUS DID I EVER AGREE TO DO THIS? THIS IS AGAINST THE GUY CODE. IT IS OKAY TO WONDER ABOUT BECOMING A GIRL, BUT IF THE OPPURTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF, DON'T TAKE IT.

Now that I got that bit of anger out, I feel a little bit better. No matter much I pray for it to stop, the pain in my lower area never stops. I mean, it's been almost four months, and even though I've gotten this "period" four times, I still haven't been able to shake these feelings of extreme pain. Aphrodite gave me some pills to make me feel better, but I still feel like shit.

Don't even get me started on Aphrodite. You couldn't have picked a worse goddess to teach me how to be a lady. I would've taken any other goddess, hell, I would've taken Gaea. At least she has a sense of humor. Just kidding. Anyway, Aphrodite is terrible. She has the pure intent of turning me into the girliest creature alive. I mean, this whole thing has been an eye opening experience. I never understood how hard girls really have it, as far as attire and bodily issues. This whole thing has given me time to get in touch with my feminine side. All the same, I never want to be anything like Aphrodite. Her style of beauty is all about makeup, perms, and clothes. No, my post as the god of beauty will be about all around beauty. A lot of girls have beautiful bodies, but not so beautiful minds. I want to bring a new style of beauty to Olympus, it might bring some humanity back to some of the girls today.

Now that I've knocked that out, let's talk about the last three months, since I haven't written in this since summer. I finally mastered changing my appearance today. After four months of lugging around those ten pound jugs on my chest, I finally changed myself to flat. I changed that luscious blonde hair I had to a short, mousy brown, and I got rid of that giant ass and my near 55 inch hips. I changed my height down to about 4'11. I'm sick of being looked at everywhere I go. It's plain ridiculous. Aphrodite wants to kill me for changing the way that I look, but she's going to have to deal with it. I want to instead blend in with the world, giving blessings to passing strangers who need it. Poor boys who've been rejected too many times. Insecure girls who don't trust their one beauty.

I also mastered my powers of love today. The way I see it, I can do some of my friends a couple favors. Like Grover for example? Her and Junipher were in this terrible fight today, something about too much hanging around with other dryads, but I smoothed things over right away. He's my buddy; it's the least I could do for him. I also helped Tyson with a lady Cyclopes that he told me about before the battle of Manhattan. He seems very happy now.

Also since becoming a god, I have a lot of information at my manicured fingertips. It's rumored that I was supposed to be part of the Great Prophecy, the one about the Doors of Death. There's also a Roman camp, on the other side of the country! I can't see it, because I am a Greek god, and have no Roman aspect. It's a shame; I would have loved seeing something like that. I'll get in sometime, but still. Oh, and apparently I ruined one of Hera's plans when I became a god. She confronted me the other day.

"Kallista, come here, I need you a second."

"Hi Hera, how are you?"

"Fine. I just wanted to let you know you ruined a plan of mine when you accepted that request to become a god."

"And how exactly did I do that?"

"You were supposed to be part of my plan to unite the two demigod camps."

"There are two?"

"That's beside the point! Get your father to explain it to you. Anyway, I was going to send you to Camp Jupiter, and send a powerful son of my husband", she gave a snort at this point, "to Camp-Half Blood, so the two of you could unite the camps. That plan is out the window. Thanks."

"Well, how was I supposed to know? I was offered to become a god, did you anticipate that? I certainly didn't."

"I guess I can't blame you. Still, who do I take on this quest now? There's no other demigods at that camp that are nearly as powerful as you."

"Let me show you something." I led her to my crystal ball that I had for keeping tabs on the love in the world. I had discovered another son of Poseidon in the world. When Poseidon had told me that he might be sending me a few more siblings, he wasn't kidding. "Do you see him?" She nodded swiftly at me. "That is another son of Poseidon. I discovered him nearly three months ago, living in a forest. I don't know how he's been able to live, but he has a celestial bronze sword, armor, and sword fighting skill that could rival my own. I don't know him; I've been trying to figure out who he is without revealing myself. All I know is that he once lived in Wisconsin and a load of hellhounds came to his home and killed his mom. They lived next to a lake, so he ended up killing the hellhounds with his powers of water, but didn't realize what he was doing.

I paused. "Somebody taught him how to control his powers, and how to survive in the wild. It may have been Poseidon, it might've been a nymph, water spirit, anything. But he's living in the forests of Colorado right now, barely surviving. Send a team after him and send him to Camp Jupiter, he's probably a better fighter than me. Make sure he's found by Camp Half Blood though, otherwise this whole plan is ruined."

Hera considered her options. She could send Annabeth, the second most powerful demigod in the camp, or she could try to track down Nico or Thalia and send them. But this occurred to her, as she said:

"It will be a hard job, finding him. I could always send Thalia Grace, but she has a team of hunters to lead. The Fates also tell me she has a part to play in Jason's path." She paused and thought for about a minute. "Nico D'Angelo…" she said under her breath. "No, no, he has a role to play to. Damn Hades for interfering." I felt the ground shake beneath me at this point.

"Well listen, it was nice to see you Lady Hera, and please stop by anytime! But as of now, I'm very, very busy!" I really didn't mind Hera being there, but I had a feeling Hades was going to shoot a hole through the floor if she bad mouthed him again. "Goodbye!"

I saw Hera to the door, and she walked down the street, clearly conflicted with herself.

So that's how Hera's visit went. Her plan went through. Camp Half Blood found the other son of Poseidon in the woods, fighting off three different Cyclopes at one time. He hasn't even dipped himself in Styx, and he's this powerful! It's crazy. If we had him in the battle of Manhattan…we wouldn't have suffered such huge losses. Oh well. We got though in the end, didn't we? So…what else has been going on around here…

Oh! Along with changing my appearance at will, I can also change other people's appearances too! Gods, it's been so much fun! I've turned Aphrodite into a pig a couple of times now when she's keeps telling me about etiquette and manners. That felt really satisfying. Along with changing Aphrodite into a pig, I've also satisfied some of my fantasies. For instance, there's this little girl named Lacy in the Aphrodite cabin. Jumpy, nervous, very small, and often bullied by her other cabin members. I lent Lacy some of my powers, so she can take back a little bit of control in her cabin. She hasn't been too successful with it lately…but hey, she'll get the hang of it eventually.

I also learned how to do that teleporting thing that the Gods can kill mortals with. I traveled all the way from New York City to the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean, just in a second! I traveled all over the world yesterday, visiting important landmarks, temples dedicated to my father, and all the places I wanted to go! I finally visited the Parthenon…after seeing hieroglyphs and drawings of the Athena Parthenos…I really wish it was there. It's such an amazing piece of architecture. I can see why people have wanted to find it for a millennia. I heard a rumour going around about it that its disappearance has something to do with the next Great Prophecy…but I can't say anything for sure.

Annabeth and I have been going wonderfully lately. She would've rather had me consult her first, before accepting turning into a god, but it seems as though Annabeth has had some thoughts about the otherside…and she isn't hesitant to explore me. We haven't done anything sexual exactly, but she particularly loves the way I can change my appearance. When it is in that form, she likes to hug my curvy body against hers and squeeze me tight. It's strange to think Annabeth had some wonders about the other sex. Honestly, looking at her, she seems like the straightest girl ever. I think that if her and I were ever to break up, I've made an serious impact on her sexual interests forever. But hey, I'm just happy she'll accept me the way I am. Because if there's one thing I CAN'T do, which pisses me off a lot, is turn myself into a guy.

Maybe I'm not trying hard enough at that. I asked Aphrodite, and she told me "No Kallista, you are the goddess of beauty, not god." But shouldn't beauty be a unisex thing? Honestly, a guy can be beautiful if he wants to. Guys are more naturally on the handsome side, but you know, once in awhile, there's a guy out there that has a perfect EVERYTHING about him. He's just beautiful. I think I prefer being a girl…you know, when I'm not spewing blood out of my vagina. No more awkward boners in public, no more balls sticking to my leg when I get sweaty, it's actually pretty nice. My boobs do get sweaty once in awhile though…that's the only downside, except for that stupid period! If I could skip my period when it comes and turn into a guy for a week or so, it would make being a goddess so much better.
Wow…it just occurred to me, that I was sitting here for about an hour, just thinking to myself…I have work to do! Couples to pair! Love to make! Well…not literally, but yeah, that's what's been going on! Bye bye!
