Chapter 1 - Andromeda Persephone Jackson


Hello. My name is Andromeda Persephone Jackson, and you are about to hear the wild story of my life.

When I was born, my father was Poseidon. He had no idea I existed. Why? The fates had decided make my scent very faint, and make me invisible. My younger brother, Perseus Jackson, knew I was there. We had a faint telepathic connection. My first memory was of looking up at the hospital ceiling. The place looked nice and clean, until a bunch of cyclopes rushed in.

"There the kid is. I can smell her." "Can't we take the other one and then eat him?" "Remember. We'll get killed." "Oh yeah, I forgot." "Now let's take the girl and get out of here."

I was lifted up. A cyclopes fed me some Ambrosia and Nectar, and I became healthy. The cyclopes were about to take me off to their master, but then a man in robes carried me off. I was whisked to another dimension.


When I woke up, I realized I was five years old. And I had the brain of a ten year old. There was this man with a really long white beard, and these weird looking glasses. Back then, I thought they were sliced in half (now I know they were bifocals). He raised his head, helped me up, and spoke only four words.

"Welcome, Andromeda Persephone Jackson," a ghost called "AD" bellowed.

I looked around, and I saw a dome shaped window at the top. Maybe I could escape, but I had a few questions.

"Is my name Andromeda Persephone Jackson? Where am I? How did I get here? Why am I named Andromeda Persephone Jackson?" I wondered, pushing my messy hair back over my shoulder.

"Ah, good questions. You were named Andromeda, because you and your brother were supposed to always fit together. Your brother's name is Perseus. But when time comes, you will save your brother. The princess saving the prince? I suppose the fates can be cruel. Your middle name is named for Persephone, wife of Hades, who is the Greek god of Underworld. Some cyclopes were going to kill you. Persephone transported you to the underworld, and you have slept for 5 years."

AD paused to catch his breath. "You still are sleeping. I have pulled you into a dream, because right now I am supposed to be dead. Which still feels weird. Andromeda, I have one last message for you. When you truly wake up, follow the bones. It will lead you to Chaos", and with that, the dream fell away, and I bolted upright.


A/N: Welcome to the first piece of writing I published on my own! As a first for me in both exploring writing and fanfiction, this is obviously not the best work I had to offer at the time and now; however, despite all of this I tried my very best. Since I knew nothing about writing characters back then, Andromeda is a Mary Sue which is what also defines her. Please enjoy however long you stay here and have a great day!
