A/N- Hi guys! This is just a quick chapter to clear the air on some stuff. A friend I know who is reading this fic asked me to explain how some of the things were possible, so here's some answers. Heads up, some of these may not follow what Rick Riordan has said, but it's how I imagined it. I hope that's ok!
1) Isabella had never encountered the aria before because she'd never killed a monster while in the mortal world, so nothing had been able to place a strong curse on her (strong meaning strong enough to attract the aria), but once they attacked, all the little curses that had been put on her by monsters she killed in Tartarus came to life.
2) Damasen never told Isabella about the gods because he's a giant, so he doesn't much like them anyway, but he also assumed she kinda just... knew. He thought that if she'd fallen into Tartarus, it must be because of the gods. Because he apposes Ares, he is peaceful, and he didn't want to start an argument or annoy her by mentioning them.
3) The monsters couldn't smell that Isabella was a demigod because she's never been claimed, and she hasn't yet fully realised her powers. Also, she's been in Tartarus for 71 years, and only spent 15 years in the mortal world, so she kind of just smells like Tartarus and all the other monsters now. Also, I hate to drop this in there, but... think of Smelly Gabe. His scent covered Percy's demigod scent, right? Well, there aren't any showers in Tartarus, and she's been there for 71 years so... yeah, she covers her own scent. And it's good because it's saved her life XD
4) Damasen hasn't told Isabella her godly parent yet because he doesn't know it yet himelf. Her godly parent will be revealed in a later chapter, and probably make it clear how no one knew who it was.
