Memoirs that an adult, Roman version of Poseidon's son known as Percy Jackson writes in a personal log that he uses to deal with the madness of a demigod's life, but despite being more disciplined and better trained, he has the same sarcasm and irreverence, especially when he needs to relax.

Percy Jackson's Log
Entry Four: Time to Be Interrogated
Location: Central Park, New York
Date: It's still September 10, 2019
It's me, again. I know, this is becoming almost a cliché: "but when life gives you storms... write about them." But let's face it, if I had a dollar for every time I'm treated as the prime suspect for something I didn't do, especially when I'm, you know, saving the world (or at least protecting a decent slice of Central Park), I could fund my own escape to the Bahamas and put all of this behind me. I still hope that happens, but in the meantime, here is the last episode of the tragicomedy that is my life.
To make you understand the picture: after having stopped a new wave of invaders that arrived thanks to that "dimensional portal" (yes, it sounds like something out of a bad low-budget movie, I know), which mysteriously appeared in Central Park... I couldn't leave and I can bet anything that if I did, it wouldn't be even 10 minutes before the whole city was looking for me and in a few hours, the whole country would put me in the number one position of the most wanted... although for different reasons from the rest.
So there it was, waiting in the park while an army of police, SWAT agents, who were later joined by members of the National Guard quickly filled it up. They all spread out around to "monitor" me (and probably decide whether or not I was plotting against humanity) while mobile control centers of the various armed forces, law and order were set up in the park.
By the time the sun finally decided to peek over the horizon, it was already one of those mornings when not even coffee wants to exist. That kind of tomorrow.
Seriously, is it too much to ask for a single day where I can stay home, watch TV, or sleep without being interrupted, and can avoid all this absurd burden of responsibilities?
But of course, the real fun started around nine in the morning... after waking up from a fog brought on by saving the city twice in less than 72 hours, from unleashing two storms, bringing the park statues to life (to be clear, I didn't create them, I just activated them, I'm not a Roman or Greek son of Vulcan, not a wizard) and in general, by doing what a demigod with or without bad luck usually does...
I managed to unleash total chaos among... everyone.
But who would have imagined that a medieval army, monsters and soaked policemen would generate so much scandal?
I joke, the world is very different since humanity dismissed the supernatural from legends and myths as stories invented by ancient peoples trying to explain how the world works. So everything that has happened must have shaken everyone's perception.
When the police approached me, it was like a scene straight out of one of those cheap police dramas. Although they didn't put the handcuffs on me (at least not immediately), they took me to a makeshift interrogation room, where they looked at me as if I were a rare specimen, with expressions that mixed disbelief and suspicion. The first question was something like, "Are you even human?"
"What the hell are you?" a detective asked, looking at me as if I were the protagonist of a paranormal investigation show.
"Have you ever asked Neptune?" I replied sarcastically, because, let's be honest, who wouldn't? "You know, the guy who has a great sense of humor. Really, the old one can flood you with storms and good weather vibes"
They didn't seem so funny. Who would have guessed that police officers have no sense of humor when it comes to jokes about the sea? I tried to explain to them some of the chaotic and, so to speak, epic adventures of my life, but they kept taking notes, as if I were confessing to a serious crime related to some kind of robbery on the coast.
It all ended with me trying to give them a little scare, shaking the ground under their feet. The result was widespread rumbling and screaming about an earthquake. To be honest, I know it wasn't the smartest or most sensible idea, but, in my defense, I had the need to release some stress. Sleeping would be a good plan, but that doesn't seem like it's going to be part of my daily routine in the next few days.
Anyway, they decided to leave me several "nannies" to watch me, more armed officers who almost shot me when I got this diary out. Although they tried to bully me into handing them over, but a look I learned from Lupa as a kid (and have honed over the years) was enough to push them back... and I was almost shot again
At this point, I'm going to add "the terror of fourth-rate medieval-Roman soldiers" and "creator of frightened and confused policemen" to my unique resume of chaos.
Personal note: I must find a suitable therapy for demigods after all this.
Now I say goodbye, before I keep this diary to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. If you happen to witness a suspiciously medieval police interrogation, remember: blame it on the storms.
Until next time, to my future self or whoever gets to read this. Please keep my secrets safe.
—> Percy Jackson, your sarcastic son of Neptune, constantly in trouble and, of course, a little cynical.
