I do something extremely stupid

It all goes to show that you can be too awesome.

Charlie and I were having a conversation. A conversation. Simple as that. And a god had to be eavesdropping.
I would say it's bad luck if the Fates hadn't had it in for me.

Another story for another time.

But we were talking about our fears.

Charlie had to get all mushy and talk about losing Leo, even though I know she's secretly afraid of clowns. Who isn't?
Now, I'm not afraid of much. Just the dark, spiders, clowns, spiders, underground lava tubes, spiders, scorpions, spiders, aardvarks (don't ask), spiders, drowning, spiders, did I mention those horrible Black Widow things?

But I wasn't gonna say that.
"I'm not afraid of anything!" I declared after Charlie was finished with her lecture about what she would do if Leo died, which included throwing herself into Tartaraus (a bit drastic, if you ask me) and never eating oreos again.
BIG MISTAKE.

If you're mortal, it's pretty safe to admit that you're not afraid of anything (even though I know clowns make you shiver). But if you're a demigod, you should probably know that there's a GOD of fear before you say anything of that sort.
