Chapter 1
I woke up to a light shining in my face. I knew it was early because my alarm had not gone off yet. I sat up in my bed to see my dog, Twilight at the foot. The thing is, Twilight isn't really a dog at all; she's a Spirit. All royals get Spirits when we're born and they grow and age alongside us. They can change into any animal that their master desires and some can even change into humans. Wait, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I am Princess of the Seas, Elizabeth Melody Kaimana Koa Jackson and I hate it. I've always hated people giving me so much attention. I live with my father and siblings in our underwater palace. I don't know my mother and I don't think I'll be ever be able to. She disappeared right after my sister was born and my dad never talks about her.
Each of my sibling have abilities that they can do like control water and talk to sea creatures like every other child of Poseidon can. But they can also do a whole lot more. Percy, my brother can create fire, fly, and read minds. My twin brother, Kai has super speed and shape shifting. My younger sister, Mila has telekinesis and can also talk to other animals other that aquatic. They each can do so much more but it would take forever to name them all. But I'm different, I can't do anything. Not even the abilities that I should have gotten from my father (of course i can breath underwater). All I can do is talk with Twilight but that's a given seeing as everyone can talk to their Spirit.
Ok, now I'm getting a little too far. So I sat up in bed grabbed my glasses and walked to my bathroom. Twilight got up and followed me. She had the same color of ocean blue eyes that I have. She had black fur everywhere but on her paws and on the tips of her ears and tail where it was white.
My whole room including my walk in closet and bathroom were the colors of Navy, Teal, Aqua, Mint, and White. I brushed my teeth but left my hair alone because there was no use in trying to brush out the tangles so I just put it in a bun. I looked at my reflection and frowned. I hated the way I looked. My brothers and sister all had the perfect wavy hair, tan skin, and bright eyes. All I have is a mess of hair and somewhat bright eyes hidden behind my glasses.
I left my bathroom with Twilight following behind me and walking into the sitting room outside my door. There I saw Percy, Kai, and Mila. Ok, this is how it works. As you are walking outside in the castle halls you'll come across a door that has four sea creatures. Only me and my siblings can open the door but once we do you would see a room with a round table with four chairs around it, two couches an two chairs around a coffee table and rug, on the wall across from the main door is a bookshelf ceiling to floor with a circular window in the middle showing the water and fish that swim by. There were four doors on the last two walls that had the same four animals on each door. They were me and my siblings symbols per say. Percy was the Sea Horse, I was the Dolphin, Kai was the Shark, and Mila was the Sea turtle.
"Hey guys!" I said as I entered the room. Twilight went to play with the other Spirits in the corner of the room.
"Hey Elli! What's up?" Percy scooted over on the couch so I could sit down next to him.
"Tired."
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to go to breakfast." Kai said getting up and walking over to the door.
We all got up to follow him. "You guys didn't have to wait for me."
"We know." As we opened the door we saw a large window. On the other side of the window we could see water and all sorts of sea creatures swimming. The palace is the only place in the kingdom that doesn't have water in it. It only took us a couple of minutes to actually reach the dining room. Our father, Poseidon God of the Seas was already sitting at the table waiting for us. Him being a god in all means we're Demigods, half- god half-mortal.
Dad smiled as we entered and sat down. "Welcome, Children I must speak to you on some very important matters."
"Yes, what is it?" Percy asked
"I have been thinking and its time that you start socializing with other Royals and Demigods."
Mila spoke up "Meaning?"
"Meaning that you all will be going to school in the mortal world. Olympia high school. At Olympia High all the princes and princesses attended there. But no one knows that you four exist so you'll be there as legacies of Hecate."
"How come no one knows of us?" I asked
"Because if they did then they would fear you. My children have always been known to have a crazy amount of power and if someone made a wrong move they would lash out. My brothers made me swear to never have children again. I couldn't do that so I left Olympus because your mother, the woman I love was pregnant with Percy. But I want you four to have a chance at a normal life. Well as normal as you can get."
Percy asked "So why do we have to be legacies of Hecate?"
"Because your mother was a daughter of Hecate."
