Once upon the time, in a faraway land called Atlantis, there was a man by the name of Fredrick. He was a kind man, smart too, with a big heart. Fredrick was a scholar, which attracted a woman by the name of Athena. The two married, and Athena bore him a child, whom they named Annabeth. But, Fredrick and Athena's happily ever after was cut short when Athena died during Annabeth's birth.

Dismayed by Athena's death, Fredrick sought out another wife. He presumed his daughter would need a mother figure, so Fredrick married Hera, a nobleman's daughter.

Hera, was stunning, indeed. Many men from across the country of Atlantis wished to marry this fair woman. There were some flaws in Hera though. For one, she had been married to another man and had two daughters named Rachel and Silena. Hera had a huge temper, along with a large ego. Still, Fredrick loved her for Annabeth.

Hera and her daughters put up with Annabeth for as long as Fredrick was alive. But when Fredrick suddenly died when Annabeth was 12, Hera's true personality came out. She treated her step-daughter as more of a servant, and her own daughters as priceless gold, therefore increasing their vanity.

Still, Annabeth stayed the same. She had a kind, pure heart, not to mention natural beauty, something that Rachel and Silena did not have. Yes, they were beautiful, but only because they caked themselves with makeup.

The step-sisters completely hate Annabeth, who was far more beautiful than they. Rachel, Silena, and Hera forced Annabeth to clean the house, do the laundry, and run errands for them while the three of them sat lazily on their butts at home.

The sisters taunted Annabeth, calling her "Cinderella", for she sat down at the cinders after a long day of work. Still, Annabeth cared greatly for her step-family, patiently taking the abuse they gave her.

But little did anyone know, Annabeth would do great things. But the story does not begin there, no it begins 2 weeks prior to Prince Perseus' 16th birthday.
