Prologue:
A storm is raging along the coast of New York City. The waves are crashing on the sandy shore of an abandoned beach. A flash of lightning cracks along the beach at the same time the waves crashed back onto the shore. Two figures suddenly appeared on the beach. One was a teenager with curly black hair dressed in baggy jeans and a t-shirt.
A tall man stood next to the teenager. He was dressed in a Hawaiian print blue buttoned up shirt with green tridents decorating it as well as brown beach shorts and a fisherman's hat in his black hair. His sea green eyes shined in the black night like twin polished emeralds. A bolt of lightning flashed across the beach and the teen and the man were gone, leaving the beach as desolate as it had been before they'd arrived.
In New York Memorial Hospital, one room has drawn the attention of unnatural powers. In the room, a woman with long brown hair, matted and unkempt, lay still on a hospital bed. The white sheets were all disarray. Next to her a heart monitor stood its lines as flat as paper. She was dead. On the other side of the bed was a crib. Inside the crib lay a baby boy, only hours old. He was fast asleep
In the shadows of the room, stood the man and the teen, both silent in their movements as the man moved to the bed and the teen moved to the door to keep watch. The man ran a figure through the silent woman's hair in a caring way, like a husband would to his wife.
"My darling, Amanda. I'm sorry I was not here before you passed. I-"
"Master, we don't have much time" whispered the gangly teenager from the door. He glanced into the hall, worry creasing his forehead. "The humans will be back before long and your brothers will not be distracted for long."
The man nodded as he removed his hand from the woman's hair and moved to the crib next to the bed.
"My son. How cruel the Fates are. That you should both lose your mother and yet I cannot be a part of your life yet." The man gently placed a finger in the baby's hand. The baby grabbed and nuzzled it to his cheek.
The man smiled but it didn't reach is eyes, full of sadness and worry. The man took his finger out of the bay's hand and untied a brown cord from around his neck. He pulled it from the seashell on cords and various other baubles to reveal a blue coin on the end of the brown cord. On the coin was the impression of a trident impressed into the coin.
"Wear this always my son and I shall protect you with all my power." The man tied the cord around the baby's neck as the baby yawned and curled at the man's touch.
"Goodbye my son. We shall see each other again in fourteen years, hopefully under better circumstances." The man and the teen vanished from the room as lightning streaked across the window. The room was empty once more save for the baby and his deceased mother. With a shout, the baby woke up and cried aloud for the father who'd left so sudden.
A nurse ran into the room to quiet the child. The nurse failed to see the blue coin around the child's neck. She picked up the child and whispered words of comfort to quiet him. She laid the child back down in the crib and walked out. As soon as she'd left, the blue coin glowed. A man's voice, deep and soothing, emanated from the coin.
"I will protect you, Luke Tempest, all the days of your life."
