I know that. I thought about it. All twelve Olympians offered me immortality. I didn't want it. I asked for something in return, and I at least got something.

For the record they were also voting on whether or not they should just kill me moments before.

I'm not an idiot. Gods aren't human. It doesn't work the same way. Gods sometimes visit their demigod children, but they don't raise them. Their human parent does that. It sucks but it's the way it is.

I didn't say they were doing a good job. But better is better than nothing.
