Summary
Percy was seven the first time he woke screaming, the taste of blood in his mouth and the howling of hounds resounding throughout his head. His mom rushed into his room to cradle him in her arms. When she asked, he bit his tongue, told her only of dogs chasing after him. He didn’t tell her of the boy with the goat legs, the pain of being torn apart, and the warm light that engulfed him at the end. She held him until he fell back asleep. Elsewhere, a young daughter of Zeus made her final stand.
Percy was nine when he opened his eyes, phantom lightning crawling over his skin and the echoes of a woman’s last moments still ringing in his ears. If he closed his eyes, he could still see the twin onyx eyes staring back at him.
When his mother told him the story of his namesake, of Perseus the son of Zeus, he didn't tell her he already knew. Had already seen a mother and her infant set adrift in a raging storm, watched a boy travel far and slay monsters for the sake of his mother’s safety. But he didn’t tell her this. He was young, but he knew already what happened to people like him. People who see.
He was no prophet; he would not suffer their fate. He would bite his tongue and let the prophecies pass him by.

Summary
New York, 1946
“At their smallest components, humans are indistinguishable from forest fires.” Logan Sul swirled his glass of scotch around idly, watching the ice clink together. “All it takes is the smallest spark to set them off.” He casually took a sip, amber eyes piercing each member of the assembled group.
Virgil Avery, the paranoid security guard.
Patton Parker, the far too-cheerful nightclub owner.
Roman Torres, the high-strung star.
Viper Salem, the obsessive widow.
Dorian Arya, the mysterious ex-business partner.
“Any singular person is more than capable of being a murderer.” He set his glass down on the side table, dabbing at his mouth with his handkerchief. He turned back to the group and smiled viciously, a hunter with his sights set on prey. “And one of you is.”

Summary
For sides who are supposed to be so good, the lights sure seem to lie a lot.
Janus would know. He can taste them.
But it's not any of his business what the lights do. He has no reason to get involved at all. Helping them could come at serious cost to himself, so why should he? It's not like he cares if any of them get hurt, anyway.
(But maybe that's the biggest lie of them all.)

Summary
He is whatever puts Thomas first. But that changes so often that he doesn’t know what he is beyond that.
He is Janus when he is alone, but only when he is not someone else.
Janus has never minded the fact that his identity is fluid, ever-changing. He acts as whoever Thomas needs him to be in the moment, and if that means he doesn't know much about himself as an individual, well. It's never been a problem for him.Until he gives away his name, and then it very much is.
