Neil I bite the pad of my thumb as I nervously wait for my parents’ arrival. I telepathically called my father and asked him to come here and bring Mom with him. Sven said it wouldn’t be a problem for my parents to enter because we’re related, so they would not be stopped. I told him that was a good thing. Not many could stop Hades from going where he wanted. Sigrid – that is still taking a little getting used to – and I are waiting for them in the parlor. But my stomach is in knots, and I feel like tearing my hair out! I don’t know what my parents are going to tell me, but I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m terrified they will tell me I’m not really their son. I know that’s stupid when the truth is right in front of me. But I’m about to lose my identity. It was bound to happen sooner
