Prologue
You all believe that Zeus fed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine to make him puke up the rest of his children, am I right? Well, if that is what you believe, then you are wrong. The actual fact is that the Greeks were sexist bas... Oh sorry that's not what I meant to say. Zeus, in actuality, never lifted a single finger. While Hades and Poseidon we're in Kronos's stomach they forged armor by combining their magic. So basically Poseidon and Hades sliced open and cut up Kronos from the inside out.
When that was finished Poseidon took the throne, but was the sea god due to preferring the sea and his more easy going personality. Hades didn't want the throne and was more of the family-loving type guy so he took the underworld and gave Zeus the sky.
A/N: So, I wrote this story through Chapter 7 about 3 years back(that's why it's not exactly my best writing), and it's been up on Wattpad for a while, but I'm trying to get on a schedule, so I'll be posting this story over the next 7 weeks(this week included), and be trying to do so every Tuesday, and then hopefully continue on either with new stories or chapters each Tuesday following the 7 week period.
All hail the Glow Cloud and I hope your week is filled with smiles and laughs,

Chapter 1
So, Tony and Pepper married when they were twenty, okay? And his parents died when he was nineteen. Please, just work with me here.
Hestia was tending to her hearth on Olympus when she felt someone calling out to her for help. A mortal no less.
She quickly flashed to the scene to find a house in flames. She quickly went inside where she found herself in the main room of the small home. She heard the cries of a baby over the roaring fire and quickly made her way towards the sounds. She found a young lady with a blue bundle in her arms, where the cries originated from.
The woman held out the babe to Hestia and rasped out,"Please save her. She is named Persephone Andromeda Jackson. She was born August 18th. Please save her." And with that the woman went limp.
Hestia quickly snatched the infant from the arms of her mother, giving the small child her blessing. She quickly flashed away to a nearby hill as the house crumbled in on itself.
She observed the babe. She had a small tuft of black hair, tan skin, and bright sea green eyes. The child stared at the goddess of the hearth intently, before reaching up with her chubby little hands and giggling.
Hestia knew of a young couple in New York, trying for a child, but couldn't conceive. She quickly flashed into the room in which a young Pepper Stark(formerly Potts)sat on a bed, watching the news.
"Who are you?" Pepper immediately said as Hestia appeared.
"I come in peace. My name is Hestia, Greek goddess of home and hearth. I've noticed you and your husband trying, and failing, for a child. I don't believe you will ever be able to conceive. This is my niece. Her mother recently died in a fire. I would be eternally grateful if you would take her in as your child." Hestia says, getting straight to the point.
"So, the Greek gods are real? And they're alive today?" Getting a nod from Hestia, Pepper continues,"I'd love to take her. May I ask what her name is? And who her father is?"
"Her name is Persephone Andromeda Jackson. Her father is Poseidon. And she has my blessing, so she'll be a great cook and won't be harmed by heat or fire, probably even control it a little." Hestia answers handing the infant to Pepper, who cradles Persephone to her chest.
"She's beautiful. I know you could have chosen another couple, so I thank you for trusting us with your niece." Pepper says and Hestia hands Pepper a small business card.
"One day she will need to go to this address. It's a summer camp for demigods. There will be someone that will find her. He is called a protector. He'll help you find your way to the camp and protect her from monsters. My blessing will also make it harder for monsters to find her until she is about twelve." Hestia explains and Pepper nods still admiring the adorable form of her new child in her arms.
"Alright. Thank you, Lady Hestia." Pepper says again.
"Her birthdate is August 18th. She's only a few weeks old. Be careful with her. I must leave but I might check on her from time to time. Good bye." Hestia says and is gone immediately.
"Tony!" Pepper calls as she jogs carefully to her husband's work room.
"Yes?" He asks, not even glancing up from his project.
"You wouldn't believe who I was just chatting with." She says as she sits, still cradling the babe.
"Hmm?" He hums.
"Hestia. The Greek goddess." She says and he still doesn't look up,"She gave us a present."
He still doesn't spare as much as a glance to her as he hums out another,"Hmm?"
"It's a child." She says, this gets him to look up and see the small bundle in her arms.
"What?" He asks.
"Her niece. Hestia saved her from a fire. Seph's mother wasn't that lucky though. She perished. Hestia chose us to look after her." Pepper explains as he walks over and looks at the child.
"What's her name?" He asks as he dips his finger down that Persephone holds in her tiny hand.
"Persephone Andromeda Jackson, now Stark." Pepper answers looking at her husband lovingly.
"That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He says, looking adoringly at the new addition to their family.
"Yes." She agrees.
Done! Yay, I finished the first part! This will be a series of one shots that goes through some cute little parts of Seph's life.
Love ya,
(Shipping Princess[SP])
