AN: This is my first published fanfiction, but I will not say no flames. I want all the criticism. Firstly, I want to thank my close friend, and sister, SummerRushes (You know who you are!) for helping me write this. I also want to thank my close friend and sister, Tanya (You also know who you are!) for inspiring me. And lastly, I want to thank my new friend,(and I hope we can be like sisters) Courtara, for convincing me to publish this. Enjoy!
Sincerely,

Prologue
The year is 3000, and the Greek gods have all but faded. Some of the minor ones are still left, and some of the Olympian council, but depressingly few. Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Hades, Hestia, (AN. She is the last Olympian after all.) Hephaestus, Demeter, Zeus, and Hera, as well as Khione. Apollo, Dionysus, Hermes, and Ares all faded giving Zeus, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Athena their respective jobs.
Ares' presence in the council was so much missed that even Athena started crying, something no one thought possible. It turns out that she was in love with the god. It was the most shocking thing since Hercules.
So the remainder of the once proud Olympian Council came to a decision; to break apart the mortal world into four countries, the kingdoms of weather. They would each bring their respective season to the world. But these kingdoms needed to be strong and stable. So they were to be ruled by the gods, until they had heirs that were good enough to rule.
So it came to be that Zeus and Hera were king and queen of summer, Poseidon and Khione winter, Hephaestus and Demeter fall, and Aphrodite Artemis, and Athena had spring. These Kings and Queens ruled fairly for a while, until old arguments got in the way. Summer became an enemy of winter, and vice versa. Spring tried to ally itself with everyone, for it was governed by wisdom grace, and care, but ended up with an enemy of fall.
Where are our heroes of old you say? Where are Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Nico, Bianca, Percy, and Annabeth? What about the rest of the campers? They are all in Elysium, where they should be. That is until the day Chaos came. He washed their spirits in the River Lethe, and removed every memory they had, except for their soul mates; for he knew that the world would need them again soon. Their love for the world they had lived in – and for each other – just might save it.
Now it came to be that each child was born to the same immortal, even Frank, who was the last child of Mars. All except Piper. She was borne to Khione of a mortal man, (I know old habits die hard) but she still kept the gifts of Aphrodite. She also had blood of all the different countries inside of her. So by law, when she turned sixteen, she had to continuously travel the world, until she married. She spent winter with Khione, and the rest of the year with Aphrodite in Spring.
The new world, and its leader were happy. But a darkness loomed; a darkness that could only be stopped by a demigod with mixed blood. The gods were afraid of the last prophecy of the Oracle of Delphi that went something like this:
The daughter of winter,
Spring planted,
Summer blessed,
And fall kissed,
Will darkness' bane become.
On her 208th full moon,
Her powers will appear.
She must find the soul of winter,
And it's bane.
Become one with her mate,
And rule as the Snow Princess, Summer Peasant.
Now may I present to you the story of Piper McLean, Snow Princess, Summer Peasant.
AN: I hoped you liked it! I want to continue, so please review, flames or no flames, I care not. I just want people to read it.
