from a young age, vasily always knew he was different. he didn’t know how, exactly, but there was always a feeling. plants thrived around him, even when he did nothing to help them... or when he forgot to water it completely. it was odd and vasily just figured he had a really good green thumb. it wasn’t until he was nine, a blonde woman came to him to tell him she was his mother.
demeter, the goddess of grain and agriculture, had claimed him as her son. young vasily assumed she was lying and only when his father confirmed it to be true, did he finally believe her. ( vasily would understand the ramifications of such an action when he was older ).
admittedly, it made sense. his affinity for plant-life riveled even that of his brother, who was good at... pretty much everything else. it was cool until he was sent off to camp half-blood that summer, away from his parents and brother.
things did get better once it was revealed that his brother was also a demigod, since he was finally not alone when he would go to camp every summer.
vasily isn’t the best swordfighter, not even a decent one. so he tends to try his best to avoid training and will sit out during capture the flag as much as he can. he can be found either in the demeter cabin high or bothering his brother in the poseidon cabin.
