I love to think that in camp halfblood children of muses have one big table in dinner pavilion near cabin 7 table ( as Apollo is usually depicted as their master and even specifically in rrvers he has connections to them)

Oh probably, but that's assuming the Muses demigods can only fit on one table 🤔 They probably would do it to group the Muses demigods together as a reflection of the relationship between Apollo and the Muses themselves; but if there are more and more Muse demigods, they probably have to reconfigure the cabin tables' placements-

since back to canon, even if there was only one demigod for one cabin, they have to sit alone in their table- like Percy sitting alone in his table at the Poseidon table. The muses demigods are probably given the exception to sit together because the muses are often grouped together, but otherwise, it'll be like Percy.

And with that, the Kane Chronicles Egyptian Gods are done! Thank you to everyone who has commented, liked, re-blogged, and especially for reading these works! I hope not only they made sense but also were entertaining to read! Catch you all later with my regular updates for the Miscellaneous Greek Demigods H/Cs!

a/n: Alright here it is everyone! I’m going to be writing this with the Riordanverse in mind (Or I’m really trying to at least) and this will be the point of view that while the gods do not themselves have direct offspring with mortals, they do inhabit people as hosts to interact with mortals and some of their godly essence is transferred to the mortal, and what if the original blood of pharaohs operated more like they are the representation of their godly parent. Can be interpreted as a direct demigod offspring of the Egyptian god, bloodline of or using the power of the gods with the Path of the Gods that the individual is hosting. It's been a while since I’ve researched Egyptian mythology in great details and depth, so don’t take this as an actual presentation of Ancient Egypt and its culture and mythology.  I know there are just a handful of Egyptian demigods mythological and I’m taking some liberty with it.  Also forewarning, it has been years since I’ve read the Kane Chronicles and I haven’t been able to re-read it because I realized my collection of the books are either in deep storage somewhere or were lost in the house fire years ago. If I’m mis-remembering details or something, I’m sorry and consider them as very headcanons or written with creative liberty. 

There won’t be any story paragraphs like I usually do at the end because I don’t know how to write it also my brain is fried from doing this.  Sorry if the tags seem all over the place. When I was tagging them, apparently other than #thekanechronicles  ||  #kanechronicles, there weren’t any other premade tags in Tumblr so I literally had to make my own 😩 If all fails, use those two tags PLUS #egyptian gods ||  #egyptian gods and their magicians || #path of the gods ✨‧₊˚✩⋅☆✨‧₊˚✩⋅☆UPDATES ON FRIDAYS ✨‧₊˚✩⋅☆✨‧₊˚✩⋅☆

☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS:  𓌂𓐍𓏏𓁐 SEKHMET: GODDESS OF WAR, DESTRUCTION, VENGEANCE, OF PLAGUES AND FAMINE, OF HEALING, (FIRST) EYE OF RA, DESTROYER OF WICKED, THE GREAT HUNTRESS, LADY OF FLAME 𓁴

A/N: I sort of took some bits from writing Bast into here, especially since some stuff overlapped as Bast came from Sekhmet and all that, but Sekhmet is a lot more passionate and wild than Bast. I really tried to write more of a connection from Sekhmet but considering in the Riordanverse, she is still mostly a bloodthirsty and wild individual, there’s not a lot I can write of a good balance between her persona as well as someone you can communicate with normally.  EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}

Sekhmet, what a bold connection to have! Definitely those with a burning hot passion with ambition who face things head on will definitely have a better connection with the lady of flame then above else. She is “Who is mighty or powerful” and pursuing her path will take a lot of willpower and trial.

Sekhmet is a lioness through and through; graceful and fury all in one. As long as you find your own strength and resilience, not just in battle but as a healer, to challenge your own fear and overcome challenges that may come your way; while also taking care of those under your care and protection with compassion. You are a fierce protector and avenger on whichever front.

When you begin to communicate with Sekhmet, you can feel her observing and judging you, if you have the conviction and drive to pursue her path. Once you do, you’ll be able to access her path which contains Fire Magic, Healing Magic, Combat Magic, and animal charming (lionesses).

Sekhmet’s Fire Magic is powerful and hot as the sun, and dry as the desert. If you are already leaning towards fire magic and already have your spark, then pursuing and tapping into Sekhmet’s fire magic is going to be less daunting. Tapping into Sekhmet’s fiery passion is overwhelming and isn’t the faint of heart; however once you are able to do so, you are able to bring warmth to those under your care and burn down the evil who threaten to dare to encroach in your territory.

If you have a talent or affinity with Air Magic and/or Earth Magic, then you are able to unlock Storm/Chaos Magic as she is also the goddess of War and Destruction. Alongside this, you awaken something akin to Desert magic/Sand magic with Sekhmet’s Fire Magic as it was said that Sekhmet’s breath created the desert. Though reception to unlocking this magic may be wary, as connotations with this magic reminds people of Set who is the god of the Desert or may be reminded of Sekhmet’s more ravage, bloodthirsty persona- which you might end up displaying when tapping into Sekhmet.

Healing Magic is one of Sekhmet’s most well-known aspects of her, alongside manipulating demons or evil spirits (bau) that are related to curses, diseases and plagues; particularly the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet who are powerful plague spirits born from Sekhmet.   You can’t learn one without the other and mastering one is also the other; and they are both very intense.

With Healing Magic with Sekhmet’s Path, you end up working with Jaz and you both work together healing others and continuing to harness your skills on each other so when the time comes, you are there to address any wounds, sickness, and whatever patients come your way. You both share tips and learn new skills to apply to healing magic, as well as tasting many kinds of potions to make sure they are up to par for consumption. Jaz also teaches you about using figurines for certain patients, allowing you to heal them when the time comes or using it to monitor patients to make sure they are okay. 

Once you and Jaz end up working together like a pride of lions, especially if you two are both ‘lionesses’, you can feel Sekhmet humming in content at the pride you’ve essentially created with each other.

With Sekhmet’s Combat Magic, you have the power prowess of a lion; powerful, graceful, yet absolutely terrifying. Sekhmet’s power is incredibly overpowering and you can feel her fury when you assume parts of her form. If you can use Sekhmet’s form to cover your arms and legs to allow you to run as fast as a lion and bat at your enemies with her mighty paws. Hopefully you don’t assume parts of her head or her entire head because that’s when Sekhmet will take over and both you and her jaws will taste blood. The problem is that you won’t be able to tell friend from foe because of Sekhemt’s bloodlust so it's definitely a last resort.

Another way to use Combat magic is to take on aspects of Sekhemt’s lioness form into your own by channeling her eyes. You can use her eyes to see in the darkness, not allowing those who slither in the darkness and shadows to sneak upon you, or use a lioness’ sight to stay focused.

In terms of weaponry, if you decide to pursue or already pursue archery,  you’ll have a better communication with Sekhmet for she is known as the Great Huntress- and with the connection of the Seven Arrows of Sekhmet, it is a great way to sympathize with her. Combine these with Sekhmet’s eyes, none may escape your sight. It is also a great way to fend off enemies while also keeping your place stationary next to your patients and those under your protection. If they manage to get close, well, you have claws of your own.

Animal Charming with Lionesses may be few and between in most settings, unless you also want to extend your ability to domesticated cats or somehow ethically acquire lioness. However, in this case, unlike what I said with Bast, you may be able to communicate and charm with the Sphinx, given that the Egyptian Sphinx was seen as a protector of pharaohs and Egypt. Paired with the Sphinx having the body of a Lion and Sekhmet who is the fierce guardian of Pharaohs, and as a magician with the blood of the pharaohs, you definitely have a higher chance of forming a bond or kinship with the Sphinx.

Communicating a connection with Sekhmet will always have a risk because her tendency for rage and wrath, with her constant bloodthirst is always present, especially the more you use her combat magic. However, probably reaching out to Sekhmet or balancing her more violent tendencies with nurturing acts (such as healing) helps a lot. When you demonstrate your pride and ambition with your compassion, you can feel Sekhmet accepting you as part of her pride. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

A lowly rumble fills your head.

“Either you have enough bravery or are a fool to step into a lion’s den, especially a Lioness’ den. I can smell how your blood boils with ambition and fire so I will grant you this mercy. If you want to continue my path, I will treat you like a cub and train you to be strong or be killed. Show me your claws and teeth so I can judge you if you are worthy to use my power to protect your pride or destroy those who dare challenge you. I am Sekhmet, The Eye of Ra and the Lady of Flame; Destroyer of the Wicked and Great Huntress, Goddess of War, Destruction, Vengeance, of Plagues and Faminine and Healing. Now, Hear me Roar!”

Headcanon about your headcanon! I think child of Persephone would be able to grow pomegranates but depending on the season it's deferent kind of pomegranates

Summer and spring - normal fruit

Winter and autumn - underworld pomegranate

Oh yeah I can see that happening and makes a lot of sense. They probably could grow other kinds of fruit or the other season fruits in their off-season if they want to, but depending on the fruit and time, it just takes more effort and is still prone to failing; much like growing off-season plants.

The only thing I'm iffy or want to say is the underworld pomegranate because that's very specific and has a certain effect. The underworld pomegranates were particular in general because they grew in the Underworld so eating it, binds the person to the underworld which is a different realm and spirit. Even if the Child of Persephone could eat it, it may still affect them much like a child of Hades eating the Underworld Pomegranates like Nico eating Persephone's Pomegranates when he was captured by giants to put himself into a Death Trance to survive.

What about twisted Aphrodite’s child being parented by a trickster god like Loki/Anansi or a trickster gods child?

Ohhhh, okay so this answer severely depends on which trickster god is raising the Twisted!Child of Aphrodite. This is mainly because not all trickery or trickster gods are bad nor good and can't be categorized in a black or white way either. Heck, Hermes is a trickster god and civilization doesn't perceive his trickery as malevolent.

Loki can be considered and seen as 'bad', especially after he was the one who caused Baldr's death and prevented his revival, from that point on, but he isn't inherently and wasn't always 'evil' either and his role as a trickster god has helped his fellow Norse gods and the worlds and 9 realms itself. He functions mostly as a gray moral god, as typical of gods, but more so to a darker gray morality. I can't say for Anansi much for myself, mostly because I am not that confidentially, knowledgable in African Mythology and stories and I'm not of African descent either so my words are to be taken with a grain of salt and skepticism. From what I know of Anasi the Spider God while yes is a trickster god, he's also the associated with stories, wisdom, and knowledge (as well as a psycho-pomp as he maintains the connections between the living beings of the known world and the spirits fo the dead), and he's symbol as a god leans more benevolent (as far as I know).

With that said, all I can see if Anasi or his (demigod) child were raising the Twisted child of Aphrodite, I doubt they would suggest or encourage using their powers for lesser or selfish intents; espescially if it actively harms others. Pulling tricks onto others is fine, espescially to those who don't uphold their word and values, but never actively harmful unless they deserved it. Anasi or his child probably would encourage the child of Aphrodite to use their alluring persona to tell and captivate others with story-telling, stories, and heeding to their voice to do good deeds or spread knowledge as Anasi is the King of Stories and a wisdom god.

Loki however, particularly if we're going off Riordan's use of Loki in "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard", is a whole nother matter. We know Loki can manifest himself in a temporal matter away from his prison and based on his actions towards the Asgardian gods and actively either starting Ragnarok or to free himself if we're going before the events of the books, I can see Loki taking in the Twisted! Child of Aphrodite one way or another under his wing and use it to his advantage and amusement. If we're going off that the Aphrodite Demigod having Charmspeak and using it for malevolent intentions, it functions just as much as what Loki does; who uses his words to trick others into doing malevolent deeds to his own amusement and whims; and this also applies to some of Loki's demigods who work as Loki's agent/command (especially since because it is shown that children of Loki can be commanded to do what Loki wants because they are half of him).

Whether Loki makes himself known to the Child of Aphrodite or one of his children parents them either on behalf or for the benefit of Loki, I can see how it being a reason who or why the Child of Aphrodite became twisted in such a way because it does fall in align with Loki's morals and his ream with mischief, lies, artifice (meaning: deception or trickery) and how that frames their reasoning behind their actions because if Loki and others can do it, why not them? Add in using their charisma and looks as a child of Aphrodite, then they just have more to work with.

Hey! Obsessed with you child of Amphitrite headcanon! ( I keep thinking about them lol ) Do you think her kid would be able to breathe underwater?

I don't see why they wouldn't or couldn't normally. Amphitrite is the goddess queen of the sea, and the eldest of the Nereides, the mother of fish, seals, and dolphins so a demigod of Amphitrite would be able to breathe underwater just like a demigod of Poseidon. The only reasons I can see why they wouldn't is either they believe they can drown (i.e. Percy when he first heard the prophecy that a son of Poseidon would drown) or they are cursed to being unable to breath underwater or something.

[audreyscribes]

What do you think the dynamic of Nyx, Erebus and Tartarus demigods are?

So basing this off my story works from when I did the PRIMORDIAL DEMIGODS H/CS so I had the dynamic of the Nyx, Erebus, and Tartarus demigods as siblings or cousin-like vibe. Not because they are technically siblings and cousins if you take into god genetics, which we aren't because the PJO verse says so, but because of the similarities in the domain and associations of their divine parents.

You have Nyx the Primordial and Personification of the Night, Erebus the Darkness, Tartarus the (Deep) Abyss. There's a whole lot of overlapping similarities with each other like the night is dark, and the dark is associated with the Night; Darkness and Abyss go hand in hand; the deep abyss of the night that your eyes cannot see; and so forth. There's also not to mention, at least in the PJO verse all three primordials inhabit in the Underworld (in mythology, Erebus and Tartarus are also places in the Underworld) so there's also that connection as well.

So yeah, I tried to emphasize that and take those relationships into the demigods since they more or less communicate with each other, hence the children of these primordials have a close relationship with each other that sibling or cousin like; if not, there is definitely a familarity where you could say be like close childhood friends, friends that became friends because their parents know each other, and something along those lines.

I just meant Bayonetta and the characters interacting think it would be hilarious

Ahhhh-

yeah it would be hilarious to see this provactive, eccentric woman and other eccentric characters connected with demons, fairies, and etc interacting with Egyptian gods and magic.

I think the fact Bayonetta has guns for heels would be the thing people get hung up on.

I can see Sadie being super into Viola with her demon Cheshire because Viola looks super cool and she has a large demon cat. Especially how funny/goofy it acts at times.

I just went off the deep end as a force of habit from my old fanfiction days cause there was a time either it had to explicitly written and stated as a crack-crossover OR had to be argued enough that it could happen; back when Fanfiction.net was popular as a fanfiction site. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[audreyscribes]

Imagine a Bayonetta & Kane Chronicles crossover 😂

gods I don't even have an single idea how that would work- Especially with the latest Bayonetta 3 game and just *gestures to the multiple bayoenttas, universes*

Probably mostly because I haven't actually played the Bayonetta games and only watched them a while ago as a casual fan. I don't even know how much of actually tying in the Encohian mythology and all the other mythology ties shown in the games either AND Crossover that into the Kane Chronicles and by extension, the PJO verse. Like I guess you could have the same base line of the witches and the magicians having their respective power deity with them but like....eh???

And I wrote so much PJO crossovers- Fairy Tail x PJO mostly.

You could and someone could honestly write a Bayonetta x Kane Chronicles crossover if they really wanted to. I found out if you like two fandoms enough and spent a lot of time thinking about the worldbuilding, you'll figure out something to make it work. I've seen crazier crossovers so why not?

What do you think the big three’s reaction to their wife’s kid would be since they’ve all got demigods of their own? Like Poseidon’s reaction to Amphitrite’s kid/Zeus’s reaction to Hera’s kid/Hades reaction to Persephone’s kid

🦭 AMPHITRITE DEMIGOD H/CS 🐚 [PART1 | TUMBLR] \ [PART 2 | TUMBLR] \\ [AO3]  || 💀 PERSEPHONE💐 [PART1 | TUMBLR] \ [PART 2 | TUMBLR] \\ [AO3]  ||  👑 HERA 💒 [TUMBLR] [AO3]

I’ve mentioned the Big Three’s reactions in their wives’ demigods but here’s a summary.

Poseidon may feel over-react a bit towards Amphitrite having a demigod, but its less because she has had a demigod, but more so that Poseidon didn’t know about it because she didn’t tell him. Otherwise, Poseidon doesn’t necessarily react badly to Amphitirite’s demigod(s), whether because Poseidon isn’t bothered by Amphitrite having demigods or because it’s equal treatment since Amphitrite treats Poseidon demigods rather well, at least by most standards of little to no cursing, harassment and other such extreme treatment and at least stated in the PJO verse lore (like Amphitrite baking cookies for Percy when he comes over). Poseidon treats Amphitrite with more freedom and everything, and according to the Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods on the portion of Amphitrite and Poseidon, the sea god was rather insistent on Amphitrite marrying him cause he fell in love with her. So we can say that Poseidon loves Amphitrite so he won’t treat the Amphitrite horribly outright for just existing.

Hade’s Reaction towards Persephone’s Kid isn’t that bad considerably because Hades really, really loves his wife. Will I say that he completely accepts Perseophone’s demigods as his own? No, not exactly. But given he is the God of the Underworld and everything, he honestly could treat others worse (i.e. when Theseus and Pirithous tried to take Helen and Persephone respectively because they think they deserve taking daughters of Zeus as their wives and Hades bind them in the Underworld with snakes to chairs). I think Hades is also aware that going having affairs behind his wife’s back is wrong and Hades as a fair god, doesn’t react too much to Persephone doing the same and given Persephone’s temper, occasionally turning his kids temporarily into plants is on the light side of what gods do in refutation and pettiness. As long as the Persephone demigods doesn’t over-reach or push the limits of Hades’ goodwill, being respectful of him and his role in the underworld and everything, Hades will not bother or harm the Persephone demigod otherwise. Basically, it’s more because you are Pesephone’s kid and she loves you, and he loves his wife, so he will care for you in return. Just don’t push your luck.

And now finally for the most extreme reaction: Zeus’s reaction to Hera’s Demigod is going to SEVERELY DEPEND HOW THE HERA DEMIGOD CAME TO BE. Look I know it was a giant cop out in my Hera Demigod H/Cs, that Hera demigod either came to be either the esoteric way of just Hera giving birth alone to a half-demigod or either Hera or Zeus became mortal temporarily and had a child with the other who was still godly. Also Hera is a god and gods do not change outside of what they represent and what they stand for, hence why Hera is always stated to be solely dedicated to Zeus because she is the Goddess of Marriage and Wife of Zeus. Entertaining the idea of what if Hera did have an affair with another man entirely just for the sake of the argument: Zeus is going to be absolutely furious that Hera, as the goddess of Marriage and his wife, had an affair behind his back with another man and that’s how the Hera demigod came to be. Punishment includes the Hera demigod being forever in the service of Zeus and being condemned to doing almost impossible quests and requests, Hera being on permanent house arrest and being kept mortal for as long as possible under Zeus’s hand, the Hera demigod being subjected to punishment and torture that may resemble like Prometheus’ level of punishment, being straight up smited, and so forth. And any of this could be happening as one punishment or all at once. Zeus is really possessive of his wife and he does love her, but his temper is also a huge factor. And if you think I may be over-exaggerating, I may be but it's not too far-off from what Zeus has done before, and that was to other people! Now imagine if it was the by-product of your wife’s affair! 

And I know we like to think about the possibility with Hera being in her right to do so because Zeus has had many affairs before, but Zeus as king of the gods he’s in his means to punish Hera for betraying what she represents and well, its Zeus. You have to also be aware when Jason died, Zeus wasn’t all bothered by his death and feels that that was his punishment because Jason disobeyed and argued against Zeus because they may be father and son, Zeus is all above else, a god and the King of the Gods and no one should be disobeying him, much less his own son. The only saving grace to the Hera demigod and Hera is Themis stepping in to keep Zeus from actually going overboard and having fairness dealt out, and whether the Hera demigod is a boy or a girl. If the Hera demigod is a boy, I can’t see Zeus treating him well because they may look like their mortal father and everything. However, the Hera demigod is a girl, Zeus may not decide on more harsh punishments solely because of their sex but also looking like Hera. So not exactly scot-free, but definitely in between in Zeus’s service or being cursed in such manner. 

Because in all terms of fairness, Hera has punished the women he had been with and caused numerous trials and trouble towards his own demigods. As the position of the King of the Gods, Zeus by all means in his own right to do the same to Hera and her demigod because she too has done the same and then they would be equals.

Talking about summoning Horus’s arms is it like Bayonettta summoning Madama Butterfly’s arms?

as far as we've seen in the books, its mostly shown depicted like an metaphysical extension of your pre-existing limbs. So it's 1:1.

However, I can imagine with enough time and skill, it would be very much like Bayonettea summoning Madam's Butterfly's arms, or just in general having multiple arms and doing the anime multiple punches sort of kind thing- since all we've seen the possible use are still in the hands of children and they're re-discovering the Path of the Gods so its capabilities haven't either been fully explored nor utilized.

☥ KANE CHRONICLES' EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIAN'S HEADCANONS: 𓅃 HORUS: GOD OF WAR, THE SKY, KINGSHIP, OF FALCONS AND HUNTING 𓅃

A/N: Y’know with how important and powerful Horus is technically, there isn’t actually a lot for him to write on based on attributes wise. Horus was really hard for me to write but that could be just that Horus was never a god that I vibed with even when reading the Kane Chronicles, despite how prominent he is in the books. Hopefully I did him some justice to the Horus lovers out there.  EGYPTIAN GODS AND THEIR MAGICIANS MASTERLIST {A03} || {TUMBLR}

Ah Horus, another popular choice in terms of gods. Definitely leans towards those who strive for leadership and have a more forward attitude. If you have a more bold, headstrong personality, then you’ll find yourself attracted to the Path of Horus….which is a good thing, considering when communicating to Horus who has been known to be arrogant, annoying (at times), self-centered, while also being brave and honorable. He's straight to the point and firm in his decisions, so if you have an alternative idea, you need to present your case and stick with it.

The guy doesn’t understand sarcasm and at best, you can say light metaphors. This means be careful on what you say and what you decide because Horus will take it at face-value because as the god of war and King of Gods, he has to be firm in his decision as a leader lest he misleads his people. So if you’re going to commit, you have to commit.

Horus’ path of the gods isn’t much but they are certainly powerful and you can focus and pour all of your energy into learning and perfecting it. His path contains Combat Magic, Animal Charming; preferably falcons but any (predator) winged bird is also the next best thing. You can still learn other magics, of course.

I’d imagine you might have a great affinity for Water and Air elemental magic if you are pursuing the Path of Horus. As Horus is the God of the Sky, air and water elemental magic fits this case, more so with Air magic, and Water secondary. I’d imagine with enough training and sympathetic magic with Horus, you might be able to achieve minor Storm magic, however how successful your chances are unknown.

While you only have to learn Combat Magic with the Path of Horus, it is going to be both the most powerful and most difficult to master as Horus is the most powerful deity in terms of Combat, aside from Set. Channeling his magic into a Combat Avatar will be difficult because Horus is a powerful god and if you’re not sufficiently trained in Combat Magic or as a magician with experience in the field, it will take time to summon his whole avatar.  It is most common to summon Horus’ fist to be an enhanced arm or another hand in battle.

Your next best option for combat magic with Horus is to use it for Weapon summoning if you don’t have a Khopesh or any other metal blade on your person. You can be a little creative in weapon choice that comes most naturally to you. The Khopesh as is standard and iconic amongst Egyptians but as Horus is a war deity, he has sufficient knowledge of all kinds of blades and even if you go outside of Egyptian weapons, they all function the same.  If you do have weapons on hand and are familiar with them already, Horus will praise you for your choice of weapons and demand a demonstration of your skills. If it's a weapon outside of the Egyptian spear, like a Katana, he would be very interested (though he would always suggest a khopesh). He may not be too warm to the idea of weapons like bows and arrows but he won’t disagree on its usefulness. Just as long as you don’t use a greek or roman weapon, you’re all good (cough if you know what I mean cough cough wink wink cough wheeze)

I feel like if you know some war tactics or knowledge (like the Art of War by Sun Tzu) or are keen to learn (more), Horus will be very favourable to you. He’ll guide you and give you insights of battles he witnessed or was a part of, teaching you both how to move individuals in a fight or how to command others. Though some of his advice may be a bit too hardcore at times but times and the stakes were different.

The good thing with Horus’ Animal Charming is you can take up on Falconry legitimately; as in you can walk around with a falcon in public without much problem so you’re always ready for whatever happens. Though you best get a falconry license to be extra sure, though I wonder if the House of Life can get you it. Surely they could.

Another option for Animal Charming under Horus is the pigeon. You’re not entirely sure why Horus says the Pigeon is a noble bird and when you go to ask Carter, you don’t get much of an explanation except for his face turning like a cat who looked at a banana wrong. Though you showed Horus some of the fancier pigeons. Though its going to make it awkward when you need to use your falconry to manage the pigeon population-

Note: Please do not attempt to deliberately seek and tame a griffin on your own. It is discouraged as Griffins are generally dangerous and Carter Kane was able to tame a griffin because he used the Eye of Horus. He is the exception and is not the norm for users of the Path of Horus. Freak the Griffin is also an exception and griffin care is to be approached carefully.

Speaking of Carter, as the former host of Horus and Eye of Horus, he’s going to be your mentor as much as he can with his current duties. He’s a very good mentor and general person to look up to whenever you have a problem or question about anything, providing you a lot of context and content to go off with both historical information and personal experiences. You two, along with Julian, end up figuring out how to make future pursuers of the Path of Horus easier and share your own experiences with each other.

Talking to Horus and Carter, you start to realize they are two sides of the same coin- so you’re constantly having both Horus and Carter talking to you, but one is more prideful and the other more lecturing at times. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

“Excellent, another magician who desires to seek in my power and greatness! I am Horus, King of the Gods; God of War, the Sky, of Falcons, and Hunting! I will lead you to greatness and power with my guidance and you will achieve great greatness under my leadership! Now show me your bravery and honour!”

“He’s rather… loud” you noted.

Carter nodded. “Well he is better than what he seems. He has his moments for sure so give him some time.”

For a child of Selene or Helios, do you think eclipses would have any effect on their demigods?

Oh yeah, they totally would have an effect on their demigods, even other solar and lunar-related demigods. 

This is a bit of a spoiler for what I’ve been writing the Selene and Helios demigods H/Cs later on, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Prepare for another long post!

To start with, traditionally and culturally, Eclipses were symbols of great ill omen because you have to remember, the sun suddenly going dark is pretty ominous and feels like the end of the world because well, we need the sun. Like really need it. This is reflected in mythology as well.

For Selene, mythology-wise, whenever there is a Lunar Eclipse, it was believed that this phenomena was caused by evil magic cast by the Thessalian witches (witches from Thesselian and was also known as Aeolia, appearing in the Odyssey), who were forcibly drawing down Selene from the sky in order to extract her blood. You can see examples of this in the “MEDEA” which the sorceress Medea has passages of blocking her father, Helios, and her aunt, Selene.

For Helios, it was almost the same for him where they believed the sun eclipsing was caused by witches, like Circe and Medea, or many believed something has gone wrong believing either something has made Helios suddenly cut his daytime in half or he was punishing all those living below as he hides in the clouds. 

So with that, an eclipse would have an effect on the demigods of Helios and Selene, because their godly parents are basically the representation of the Sun and Moon itself much more closely. 

For the demigods Selene, I can see their magic becoming much more powerful because Selene is much closer to Earth than before, as she is brought down to the Earth, however it is also much more wild and dangerous so it is a double-edge sword. I also like to think the Eclipse would also make her demigods almost have their personality be different. Whether it's darker or more wild, it depends, which adds to their power of madness and chaos they can affect others with since it's been told that Selene’s moon could make others go mad. Though its just as likely it would make the demigod of Selene be incredibly weak because Selene is ripped away from her position in the moon, so there may be a disconnect with her and her children. On the other hand, if the Nemean Lion comes back, it would be easier to kill it. Probably. Since the Nemean Lion is one of Selene’s children. On another note, I think this is the only time the Huntresses of Artemis’s blessings are also haywired as well. I wouldn’t say their eternal youth is gone but if it is temporarily disabled, they don’t immediately age aggressively. Otherwise, their blessings like enhanced physical prowess, ability to talk to animals (except for those who are nymphs), and their silver glow are gone during the Eclipse. It really emphasizes their actual battling skill, If they are ever attacked at their moment of weakness because that would be a great moment to do so. Hence, probably the hunters of Artemis taking refuge at Camp Halfblood or somewhere safe to wade out the Eclipse.

For the demigods of Helios, I can imagine that they feel almost snuffed out and want to hide, referencing how Helios hides behind the clouds. They’re powers and vitality within them is so much lower as if they’re lethargic because the sun is hidden. Their personality may also be affected to be reversed or darker, reflecting the sun being blocked out in darkness. They would feel incredibly weak, as if their flame was being snuffed out and prolonged exposure to the Eclipse would make them be incredibly ill or even dangerous to their life. Alternatively, I can also imagine this having an effect on children of Apollo and effecting the Huntresses of Artemis because the sun and moon are being blocked out. The children of Apollo can’t use their powers temporarily like the Fire Benders of the Fire Nation from the Avatar the last Airbender and if they can, it's wild and dangerous to them. They may feel incredibly weak, especially those with strong light powers, like Will Solace, since the sun is being blocked out, reflecting when he went down to the Underworld and got weaker as he and Nico went deeper into Tartarus. 

Good thing normally Eclipses don’t last that long because I have a feeling that this would also affect the medical-side as well for the children of Apollo which would be a problem for those who have entered the medical field.

The only time the Eclipses that doesn’t severely impact on Lunar or Solar deities and their related demigods, probably be Hecate and her children given Hecate is associated with the moon and has already different phases and all that.  Given how they can cause Eclipses and probably induce witches for power, I can only imagine that Eclipse magic gives them another edge and power, especially if we go with the witches drawing out Selene’s power and blood by bringing her down or pulling at her moonlight, hence cause the Eclipse or something like that. This is evident in Circe and Medea who mythological have caused Eclipses to occur.

what if you were lesbian or bisexual and you joined the hunters of Artemis and you fell in love with one of the other huntresses. Would they be able to date each other or something?

Short Answer: Unfortunately no, it doesn't matter if you're heterosexual, lesbian, or bisexual, you cannot date each other or anyone once you've joined the Hunters of Artemis, both in Mythology and in the Percy Jackson series books, as that goes against what Artemis stands for as a virgin goddess who isn't interested in any romantic love.

※ L O N G A N S W E R B E L O W ※

Both in mythology and in the PJO Books, the Hunters of Artemis do not do romance; including date, express or commit romantic gestures of any kind. This is because Artemis is the Goddess of Virginity/Chasity as a Virgin Goddess and the opposite of Aphrodite, and her hunters are her maidens, her followers, following what Artemis represents which includes any kind of romance. So it doesn't matter if you're a hetero, lesbian, or bisexual, because they denounce romantic love for as long as they live, in exchange for joining the hunt and gaining eternal youth and semi-immortality for as long as they don't break their vows, or are slain battle. So no, you can't date each other. Because you have to remember, you're voluntarily and vowing, devoting yourself to Artemis herself; not just join to be in a group of female hunters. Book-wise, we see this in the PJO Books, it is implied in the "Titan's Curse" that Lesbian relationships are not allowed, and in the Trials of Apollo where two former-hunters, Josephine and Hemithea were once followers of Artemis but when they fell in love, they left with Artemis' permission to be in love and pursue a romantic life together. Though I should note that Josephine and Hemithea's case is particular as normally when a huntress of Artemis betrays or go against Artemis' oath, they don't normally walk away scot-free. Maybe its because they asked to leave first before they actually started their relationship with each other, hence they didn't technically break any vows or acts. Mythological, there's a long line of actual mythological hunters of Artemis figures who suffered worse fates then we see in the PJO Books. It doesn't matter how they violated it, but once you break Artemis's oath of being a virgin or involving yourself in any kind of love, you effectively went against Artemis' being. There's Kallisto, who caught the eye of Zeus who disguised himself as Artemis and after coupling with each other, and discovering to be pregnant, Kallisto was turned into a bear which she would later be known as the Ursa Major. Many other Hunters of Artemis either died or were turned into various objects, like plants and animals. Look, look, its not like I don't see the appeal and understand of lesbians and bisexual femmes finding love in each other as they follow a group of female hunters to be in their company forever. But this is Artemis' Hunters we're talking about; followers and maidens of Artemis. If we had to label it, Artemis and her hunters are mostly composed of those who are Asexual and any of those within the Asexual spectrum. And while her oath and blessings only apply to females (※in the books※), because that is who and what Artemis is, Mythological-wise its not like there weren't men in Artemis' entourage; like Orion or Hippolytus; and they respected Artemis where A.) they didn't interact or pursue any romantic intentions with her huntresses (Orion) B.) weren't just were interested in romantic love and instead loved hunting (Hippolytus).

Trigger warning: Mentions of abusive relationship. Mental breakdown. Mental Spiral. Unauthentic love. Gaslighting. Physical abuse. Manipulative relationships. NOTE: This is an anon ask and their headcanon take on the TWISTED!Child of Aphrodite of why and how they became twisted; starting from their mortal parent and the demigod's own experience with (unfortunate) love. There is no descriptive details and only alludes to it. I write how I did allude to this kind of scenerio and expanding my context on the twisted! child of Aphrodite. There is no detail descriptions but are talked about. Take caution and feel free to skip.

Oh yeah, I sort of alluded to that may being the scenerio the TWISTED!child of Aphrodite may have come from that could explain how they became how they are and how that influenced their actions and consciousness. I just didn't say it explicitly because this is a real problem people face and I don't want to trigger my readers who have experienced this in some way or form. Or simply they don't want to read that kind of thing unprompted due to their own mood. People just come to my blog sometimes to escape from reality for a moment, to be indulged in, to be entertained and that's alright! All i have been writing is because I want to write for fun! Although there are individuals who take part in physical and mental abuse and manipulation because they can and not entirely in part of some tragic childhood or environment, it still doesn't make it okay. Understandable? Sympathetic? maybe but at the end of the day, it's still abuse and manipulation and it isn't okay.

its hard to see your parent and especially your only parental figure, spiral mentally because they are your only strong supporting figure. Then there's he disconnect of emotional support that as a child automatically expects and requires suddenly becomes missing or turn negative, especially directed at said child, it does something to your brain and you own mental psyche. And in later relationships, I know there are people out there who have fallen into abusive relationships to fulfill something they were deprived of or believe that it's normal and okay because their only experience is similar to it. Because they're used to it. And its hard to get out of it.

And you don't know the truth if 'your' truth is the only one you know of. And this applies to not just romantic love. This goes for all sort of kinds of relationships; any kind of familial unit, friends, platonic, coworkers, even. And the Twisted! Child of Aphrodite could take part in their own physical and mental abuse, do emotional manipulation because of their own experience and feel justified doing the same to others because they went through it themselves, or just simply they can.
