When everything goes wrong, what a joy to test your soul and see if it has endurance and courage! An invisible and all-powerful enemy-some call him God, others the Devil, seem to rush upon us to destroy us; 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙.

The gods do not pretend to care about your craving for normalcy. Ironically enough, being born with ichor in your veins is a death sentence that you can only avoid for so long. The ancient Greeks invented irony, just as they invented tragedy –– two terms inextricably linked with each other, connected to Greek culture and mythology, the basis of divine psychology.

If the gods are able to love, Amaryllis Kalomiri has never felt it. She has never seen it, experienced it, heard it so how could it be real? The absence of mortality means the loss of humanity, so why would anyone be surprised that the gods sacrifice their children's lives as if they mean nothing?

Ioanna Kalomiri was nineteen years old when she met Amaryllis' father in a local tavern of a small Greek island. She only found the truth about the charismatic man's identity after she got pregnant. After it was too late. She brought the baby girl into a world destined to hurt her, a world full of danger and monsters, both humans and non-humans. A mother's love can do a lot of things, but it can't protect from an awful fate.

And yet, Amaryllis persevered. As her last name suggested, she was determined to make her story have a good ending. The young girl was a ray of sunshine whose brown eyes radiated the kind of warmth that could melt even the coldest heart. A kid full of life, full of light.

As the years went by, the Fates caught up to her and the light inside her began to dim. Strange things always happened to the Kalomiri family and none of them realised their supernatural nature until it was too late; a fire inside a church, a psychotic teacher, a strange looking woman with the power to shake the earth. It all became too much and they finally had to move to New York to get away from it all.

The attacks didn't stop. If anything, they became worse. Even before finding out who her father was, Amaryllis knew that all the pain inflicted on her family was somehow his fault. He was a mystery, the question mark in the young girl's mind. She remembered her mother's stories about him becoming more and more vague by the years, as if he was slowly fading from her memory. When she was eight years old, her mother insisted that she didn't remember anything about the girl's father and that she never did. He was like a shadow looming over her, a missing puzzle piece that just made everything in her life more complicated than it already was.

It wasn't until two satyrs – mythical creatures that definitely shouldn't exist in the twenty-first century – found her and her mother that the truth was finally revealed. The Mist lifted and she was finally seeing clearly. The stories she was raised with were real, part of a world she belonged in but didn't know it until then. And her father... her father was a god.

Camp Half-Blood was home for the kids that didn't have a safe one. She was brought to the Camp to train, to become a young hero or to just learn how to survive. To become a weapon for the gods to use for their protection, for their purpose. But life is supposed to be about more than just surviving. Amaryllis decided that she could be a skilled warrior and the same girl that gushed over small animals, read bedtime stories to her siblings and made unfunny jokes to cheer up the patients in the infirmary. She had a lot of potential and a fire in her eyes that reminded Chiron of someone he could not even speak the name of.

Amaryllis was, in many ways, the golden girl of the Camp. The perfect Apollo kid, the heart of the cabin.

So when the sun rose and Amaryllis was nowhere to be found, everyone was upset. No matter how many search parties were sent to find her, no matter how many times they asked the Oracle for help, they never found her. She was gone, as if she disappeared into thin air. Eventually they had no choice but to assume that Amaryllis Kalomiri was dead. To make matters worse, days after her disappearance came the news of a potential war between gods and the arrival of Percy Jackson, a very special demigod, at Camp Half-Blood.

Every demigod, including Percy, had heard many stories about the Gone Girl, the lost daughter of Apollo. But he never expected that he would be the one to find her four years after her "death" and he most certainly did not expect that he would eventually fall in love with her.

In every way that matters, Percy Jackson brought Amaryllis Kalomiri back to life.

▊ 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒓, the whole universe and the characters belong to rick riordan. however i do own amaryllis, any other original characters that might appear and the plot. some things ill be writing differently than the way canon goes for obvious reasons. please do not translate or republish any of my content without my permission, as it is considered plagiarism and i will not tolerate it. if you'd like to create some kind of graphic for gone girl, go ahead and tell me first so i can show it off in the story, with credits ofc.

▊ 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒔, the two gifs with the pink borders that will be used throughout the story were made by the lovely -CELESTIALAPHRODITE ! go check their stories out!

▊𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔, the story contains foul language and minors swearing a lot, violence, death, blood, mentions of z*us and i think that's pretty much it.

▊𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒆, i love the percy jackson universe so much?? it was my first fandom, the reason why i used to love reading so much. i've kinda thought of more pjo fic ideas so i might write more about it. i also want to reread the books when i have some free time, because though i remember everything from the first five books, i dont remember much about heroes of olympus. plus i want to reread the kane chronicles because it's such an underrated series and i remember i loved it. anyway, amaryllis is the best and her and percy deserve all the love in the world <3 there will be quite a plot twist that will be foreshadowed through the story but i hope you don't immediately figure it out because ill feel like a failure lmao.

#republish, please don't comment any spoilers if you're rereading the story! <3

▊𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚, i hope you enjoy the story! don't be a ghostreader and let me know about your thoughts throughout the story! like every writer, i get my motivation to write from votes and comments, when i feel like my work is being appreciated in general!
