"Okay let's go and meet the future creter of Percy Jackson series" Rowan said to himself as he went outside waving his hands at the fans and paparazzi then sat into the car and motions the bodyguard to drive away.

Because of how much trouble these paparazzi are Rowan needs to move out otherwise he didn't have any problem staying in this house.

20 minutes later, Rowan was standing infront of Flame Entertainment Agency. Since Rowan is being constantly followed by the paparazzi for now, Mary had called Rick Riordian here so that they can meet without any problems.

As he entered the agency he saw Mary standing there waiting for him.

"Didn't I tell you, that you need not stand there waiting to receive me" Rowan said

"And I told you as well that this is the minimum I need to do for my most successful client" Mary said as she walked with him to the lounge room where Riordian was already waiting for him.

"Mr. Stark it's really good to meet you my son is a really big fan of your works, I have read him all of your books" Rick Riordian said as he stood up and shook hands with Rowan

"Oh, your son is the reason you wanted to meet me" Rowan said as he shook hands with Rick.

"Primarily yes, my son loves your books a lot. Since he has dyslexia and ADHD, I read your stories for him once and after that he tried to read it by himself that alone was enough of a reason for me to meet you and thank you. So really really thank you for writing those stories Mr. Stark." Rick stated

Rowan was surprised by the heartfelt thanks of Rick and felt a little off as they weren't really his stories but after few seconds he smiled and said "Just call me Rowan, you are older than me Mr. Riordian no need for such formalities."

"Then please call me Rick as well." Rick said to which Rowan accepted.

The two than sat around talking about their writing experience.

"So Rick, are you going to try writing children's story now?" Rowan asked

"Yes, I want to try writing one for my son." Rick Riordian replied,

"So have you thought about what to write it about?" Rowan asked

"Yes, a fantasy-adventure novel based on Greek mythology, the main lead is going to be a young kid who has trouble in adjusting in school because of his dyslexia and ADHD but it's because he is a demigod" Rick stated

Rowan raised an eyebrow in surprise as he didn't think that Rick would have thought so much about it already, but he was also confused that if he suggest head this much idea why did it take him until 2005 to publish the first book. But he didn't think much about it as chucked it to butterfly effect.

Rowan nodded his head " That is actually a good idea, the Greek mythology is rarely used and as one of the oldest mythology it has enough matter to write whole series "

The two than continued to talk for an hour with Rowan giving insights on the idea of story.

"Rowan I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about Greek mythology" Rick stated

"I just like reading interesting things and Greek mythology has some interesting stories especially their demigod's life story is unique whether it's Hercules, Perseus, Achilles, Aeneas or anyone else it's full of tragedy. I hope you don't do that for the one's you create " Rowan said as he shook his head.

"I will make sure they have a happy ending." Rick responded with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Rick, Rowan went straight to Sunset Villa in West Hollywood Hills and moved in.

Around nine o'clock in the morning on Friday, November 6, Rowan came to the coffee shop next to the University of California. He was here to treat Mr. Peter the professor who helped him at the beginning when the waited come up to him and congratulated him.

"Hello, Director Rowan. Congratulations on winning the box office champion this week." the waiter said

"Thank you,." Rowan said with a smile. Early in the morning of May 8, Rowan received the information about the North American box office this week:

The first place, "The Man from Earth", had a cumulative box office of 34.38 million US dollars and a box office of 21.85 million US dollars in the second week.

The second place was Touchstone Pictures "He got game," which was released in North America on May 1 and has a cumulative box office of 9.5 million US dollars, and a box office of 9.5 million US dollars this week.

"I am a big fan of your work" the waiter said again gaining Rowan's attention.

This time Rowan paid attention and recognised the waiter as the future Hawkeye Jeremy Renner.

"You are an actor as well aren't you? I am pretty sure I have seen you in one of the National Lampoon right" Rowan asked

"Yes, yes I was in 'National Lampoon's senior years trip' I didn't think you would recognise me after all that movie ranked really bad." Jeremy stated

"It really was a bad movie but it really wasn't your fault the writers did a bad job at writing the script the rest was done by the director" Rowan stated, "Anyways haven't you gotten any work after that?"

"I have done two movies since then 'A friends betrayal' last to last year and 'A nightmare come true' both as a supporting actor and not much after that so here I am waiting tables while my agent finds new roles for me." Jeremy replied

"Ok, now tell me truthfully did you come here just now to make an impression on me!"

Renner scratched his ear and said "I try to make an impression on USC students who knows if someone becomes a producer or director and may remember be and when I saw you I thought why not give it a try"
