I stood on the bridge at midnight as the clocks were
striking the hour, in the exact place, where two years ago, our destiny met. He
was besotted with me, a little too much for an earthly man. Such relationships

With the final strike of clock, a portal opened. I stepped

 “A Demigod!! that’s

Confused and heartbroken, he couldn’t acknowledge the fact

Note:
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman equivalent is the goddess Venus (wiki)

books, where many of the characters, including Percy Jackson himself
are demigods. In Riordan’s work, a demigod is strictly defined as an
individual born of one human and one divine parent (Wiki)
