Shortly after Kronos had been defeated on olympus.

I can't understand why he turned me down said Zeus.

Some things simply can't be explained said Hera... Like why you were so generous to the boy

Generous? He saved us all and still thought of the well being of the other demi-gods instead of himself. He deserved a reward even if you dont believe he does said Zeus. Some of us do have gratitude and generosity even if you don't.

What? you accuse me of being stingy?How dare you! Hera slapped him deeply offended by his minor insult

Zeus turned his head back to his wife ,murder in his eyes. The skies thundered lightning rained down from the sky so that the night was as bright as day. You are and you know it! You are the MOST jealous,stingy,and proud goddes of all. You always have been and AWAYS will be.

NO I AM NOT! And I will prove it. The angry goddes erupted in a pillar of fire and set off to go prove her husband wrong.

9:30 am Tampa,Florida

Derek layed in bed dreaming happily. His dog cupid licked his faced and pulled the covers from his bed. Mmmm...cupid why did you do that? he asked still half asleep. He was awake so he thought he might as well get ready for school he ooked at the clock 9:30. Oh no no no! NO! he missed his bus he quickly got dressed ,brushed his teeth, and fed cupid. He ran out the door like an olympic nearly got hit by a car. There was an alley through the neighborhood usually it wasn't safe but he didn't care the teachers at school would be worse than whoever could be hiding in the alley if he didn't run fast enough. getting to school was his only thought at the moment he never saw the women in front of him until he ran into her.

im so so sorry he said the woman didn't look like she wanted to accept his apology. He got up and ran away

Derek is your name she said. He stopped and looked back at her great he thought a stalker lady knows me now he started to run again when the woman appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Ahh! who are you?,what do you want?,how do you know me?

She looked him over hmmm...tell me boy do you believe in the gods?

What? he was surprised by this question.

i said do you believe in the gods. The greek gods.

What kind of question is that? of course i dont

Alright then she said she reached out with her index finger and touched his forehead he was frozen in place he wanted to move but he couldn't. At her touch the world around him started to go dark.
