So, since I've started watching Game of Thrones this idea came to me and won't leave me alone. This whole chapter is just the backstory before we really get into it. I'm planning to do smut but since I've never tried before I'm a but wary to try. And don't worry, all the seven and Reyna will be worked in, though it might take a few chapters. Enjoy!
Of all the noble houses in the land, three stood above any other in terms of influence, wealth, and power. They were the houses Jupiter, Poseidon, and Hades. Commonly known as the big three.
House Jupiter currently sits on the throne and stands as protector of the realm. The head of the house and King if the land rules with an iron fist. Commanding respect of his subjects, and invoking fear in the hearts of his enemies.
There are those who believe, however, the the Queen, the Lady Juno, is far more fearsome then her husband. Amongst them are anyone who has had the misfortune to see the Queen enraged. This rumor is largely fueled by another rumor that she smothered her own son shortly after childbirth, because he was born deformed and ugly. Weather there is truth in this or not, only the Lady Juno knows.
In any case, the Queen has tried and failed many times to have other children. Only one son would live into manhood. His name was Prince Mars. He grew into a fine fierce warrior who led his troops bravely into the Battle of Bridgewater where he was cut down, shortly after leaving his wife and unborn child. This left the throne without an heir and the Queen barren. To solve the problem, the king shamefully confided in her that he had, in fact, another son. A bastard. And he would serve as heir to the throne. Since the kind did not trust his brothers, and would only trust his own son as ruler.
When Lady Juno heard of this plan she was enraged. That she should be ignored in favor of a common whore! That her husband would try replace their lost son, like he was nothing more then a broken sword!
But there was nothing she could do. The child was brought to them in great secret and raised as a prince. Only the King and Queen, the child, and his whore mother (whom they kept silent) knew the truth. The King named him Jason, his wife's favorite name, in hopes she might grow fond of him. But it was in vain. As the boy grew so did her resentment and hatred for it. She made him her personal champion and bid him all manner of dangerous tasks, in the hopes he might die.
Likewise, Jason resented his stepmother. He completed all of her daunting tasks as a way to defy her. He lived to see the spite in her eye, to know he had won a silent victory over her. He wanted her to know that no matter what she did, he would not die. Not on her terms, anyway.
To the south if the land, was the Kings youngest brother Hades. He ruled over much land with few people in it. Nearly all of his land was the formidable Black Forest and the all nearly all the country's mines, making Lord Hades a very rich lord. But people tend to avoid his land if at all possible. The soil is ashen and horrible for farming. The Black Forest has a reputation for housing thieves and creatures of nightmares alike. The mines are worked mostly by slaves and criminals with a violent reputation. This leaves Lord Hades a bitter man, trapped and cheated by his brothers. The only one who stands behind him always is his son and heir Nico.
Nico is a curious boy. Though he was once a cheerful and talkative lad, he has grown reserved and thoughtful since the death of his sister Bianca. He cares little for the glory of swordplay or horseback riding or other things young noble boys often get consumed by. He instead prefers wandering about the grounds with a book under his arm.
About a year ago, Nico happened to be at one of the mines checking their quota when the tunnel collapsed around them. His keen eyes saw the cracks just before the stones fell and, on instinct, he grabbed the nearest worker and ran. He saved her life but there was nothing to be done for her family. Being a boy of a gentle heart, Nico couldn't stand to see the girl cry. So he brought her back to the palace an convinced his father to adopt the girl.
Her name was Hazel. And though he came to love her new brother and new home dearly she was acutely aware that she did not belong there. She was a replacement for Bianca. A stone masons daughter with no place in a palace.
To the West lies the sea. And roughly a day's sail from the coast lies the Scattered Lands. A collection of islands all fairly close together ruled, along with all the cost on the mainland, by the middle brother Lord Poseidon. The Scattered Lands are home to many noble houses, horse breeders, and of course fishermen. It is the site of the largest marketplace in the kingdom, as merchants, traders, and craftsmen of all sorts are also regulars on the white sanded shores. Making it a very prosperous region. The people live in rather steady peace, their largest problem is that Lord Poseidon is known to mood-swings and an unpredictable man is perhaps the most dangerous, as they say.
Lord Poseidon had only one son whose name was Percy. He was an adventurous and heroic young man. Skilled with a sword and armed with bravery his unending loyalty to his family and handsome face have won him the heart of many suitors. But he would have only one, Annabeth of the house Athena.
Despite the famed rivalry between their houses Percy had met Annabeth when they were still children and they struck up a great friendship. It didn't take long for this to melt into the purest sort of love. Before long Percy asked Annabeth for her hand in marriage, which she readily accepted.
At first, his father and her mother refused the engagement but eventually were swayed by their children. They agreed in hopes that their children's love might end the long lasting rivalry between their houses.
