Chapter 1: Unexpected
Three women stared at a murky screen featuring baby twins sleeping in a cradle. The baby boy was sleeping peacefully while the girl was positioned protectively in front of her brother with a pure white etheral aura surrounding her.
"This should not have happened." One of them muttered, shifting uncomfortably.
"We can't see her fate at all, it's like she was protected by HIM."Grumbled another.
The last smiled," Having captured such a powerful being's attention, she must be destined for great things."
DOWN ON EARTH
Sally Jackson smiled tiredly at the nurse who assisted her birthing. The nurse, holding two babies in her arms, told her cheerfully,"You have a pair of healthy twins."
"May I hold them, please?" the Sally hopefully asked.
"Certainly!"The nurse replied and handed them to her.
She smiled lovingly at the wailing male child, proclaiming," I will name you, my dear boy, Perseus, after the hero with happy ending." She turned her gaze to the slumbering female child and said tenderly,"And you, my dear girl, Atalanta, with the hope of you going through your challenges with bravery and having a happy love life."
FIVE YEARS LATER
Atalanta wasn't sure if she should be surprised that she is not as bubbly and cheerful like the other children. Insted of going outside to play after prep school, she opted to stay at home or go to the library to read books that should be too advanced for children her age and those with , by accident, she found a book on greek mythology. Being the curious child she was, she flipped open the book and was quickly absorbed into it. Strangely, whenever she is reading books, her ADHD lessened to a degree that she can read books without getting overly restless. After a few minutes into the book, she discovered that the heroes her mother taught her and her brother about via bedtime stories have special powers, like the ability to control the sea, etc. Out of simple curiousity, she summoned her will and tried to manipulate the jug of water on the table by the end of the hall. Surprisingly, the water bent to her will, twisting into different shapes. Smiling grimly, she decided that she must be a demigod daughter of Poseidon, the God of the Seas.
Once returning home from the library, she wandered up her shared room with percy and tried using her powers once more, drawing the water droplets from the glass window in her room to her. Increasing the amount of water bit by bit, she was able to pull about half a cup of water to herself before collapsing due to exhausion. She was interrupted suddenly by the sound of her door opening.
"Sis, what awe you doing?" Her curious twin brother asked.
"Nothing." Sighed Atalanta. She loved her older twin (by two minutes), but Percy can't really keep secrets from their mother. To become stronger to protect her brother from the cruel reality of monsters, she'll have to train in secret from her mother. If her mother caught wind of what she was doing, she will definetly stop her in fear of her baby girl getting so begin her secret training.
