Selene's Heir

Prologue

"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Selene, the Titaness of the moon. She leaves behind a grandchild. The child's mother died protecting her from the Nemean lion. The child's name is Serena Zornes. Is there any other business we must discuss?" Zeus said, more than ready to end this meeting and get back to his newest girlfriend. "Shouldn't we send a satyr or a group of campers to bring them to the Camp? If they are related to a Titaness, then they would probably be even more powerful than a child of the Big Three." Athena said, and there were murmurs of agreement from the others. "Father, I would like to volunteer myself and the Hunters for this task. I would be able to teach her to control her powers and she would have the Hunt to protect her, and we could escort her to Camp Half-Blood." Artemis spoke up. "Very well, she is currently in Los Angeles." Zeus said, looking for her. They saw a child with platinum hair and light blue eyes running from what looked like a lion, only this lion was huge and its fur glinted in the streetlights. The girl already had numerous cuts and scrapes and she was holding her left arm close to her body. "I must alert the Hunt!" Artemis said and flashed out.

Chapter 1

I ran hard, my breath coming in hard, short little pants. I heard the lion running behind me, getting closer and closer. I could feel its hot breath on my ankles. I wasn't going to make it! I grabbed my moon necklace, and prayed for help. I slipped on a pile of something and went down hard, hitting my head on the concrete and saw stars. The lion was getting ready to pounce and roared. As he did, about 10 silver arrows buried themselves in his mouth. "Yeesh, that's gotta hurt!" I thought and winced as my head pounded. The lion turned into golden dust except for his coat. I saw a girl in a silver coat reach down and picked it up and looked at me. She looked about 12 years old, with auburn hair, a silver diadem, and silver eyes. My head pounded again and I put my hand on it and felt wetness on it. I looked at my hand. It was blood. And then everything went black.
