1. Prologue

June 5th, 1998

Melinoe could disguise herself as a human very well.

She could do it better than any of the other gods. Probably because she was the most like a mortal in terms of looks. She dressed in a tight black dress and strappy heels. Tonight, Melinoe was going clubbing.

She walked into the club and bought a few drinks. Ordinarily, She would not get drunk, but she willed herself to have the alcohol sensitivity of a mortal twenty two year old woman.

Needless to say, she was very tipsy after a few martinis.

Thanatos, coincidentally, had decided to try this "clubbing" thing the same night. He dressed in a very nice suit and tie. He, too, was very good at disguising himself as a mortal. Not as good as Melinoe, but pretty close. He had a few shots, and got very drunk, because he had willed himself to have the alcohol capacity of a man.

He noticed a girl looking at him from across the dance floor. She was also drunk, more so then he was. He walked to the girl. She wore a tight black dress and strappy heels.

It wasn't completely clear what happened that night. All Melinoe—or should I say, "Miranda"—knew when she woke up in her car the next morning was that she had just given her mortal form's virginity away to a man in a dark suit.

She peeled herself away from the sticky car seat and slipped her dress back on. She transformed into her godly form and transported back to her underground cave. And somehow, she knew, that she was pregnant with her first demigod child.
