The Epic Saga of Olympia and Surrounding Planets
Hey. I've taken on a new story. I'm hoping if I update as I write I'm less likey to lose focus. Hopefully.
This is an AU where Olympia is a planet split into two countries, Greek Olympia, and Roman Olympia. There are no gods and the monsters are alien species from different planets.
All my Sci-Fi knowledge comes from Star Trek.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or anything. I'm just warping the story into a crazy AU. I also don't own the cover image. Art belongs t Viria, picture belongs to Star Trek. I hope nobody is too out of character.
Review any questions and I'll answer as long as I don't need to ruin the plot. :)
"Tu violans pactum Olympi. Ugh pronunciation is wrong. Tu vio- what the hell was that?"
The last thing Piper McLean expected was for a small spacecraft to crash in the park near her house. She knew most of her neighbours would be asleep, and so Piper knew she was the only one who could help.
So much for another night studying for her exam. Piper was training to be a foreign ambassador for the Greek Interstellar Armed Forces, and her Latin exam was in two days. She was confident about the reading, writing, and listening aspects but she still could not speak it. And if Piper ever came into contact with a Roman she would probably have to tell them they were violating the ancient Treaty of Olympus that forbade interaction between Greeks and Romans after centuries of bloodshed.
She slammed closed her book and slipped on a jacket and boots and ran out into the park. The winter air chilled her. She reached the smouldering, mangled remains of the ship to find a man dragging himself out of the side. His blond hair was matted with blood and was a little burned too. He groaned and collapsed in the snow.
Piper rushed over to his side and sank to her knees, frantically asking if he was okay. She could see he wasn't. He had a sizable gash on his leg and blood trickling down the side of his face.
"I- agh, my leg. Agh, Rey will kill me," he said, more to himself than to Piper. He seemed to be swaying a little and losing focus. His eyes started to close.
Piper tapped his cheek repeatedly. "No. Stay with me. Can you tell me your name?"
The man's eyes just rolled into the back of his head and he passed out.
"Oh damn it!" Piper cursed. "He's gone into a concussion. I find a cute guy and he's dying on me. Oh hell."
Piper quickly grabbed a chunk of snow and dumped it on the guy's leg wound. Maybe it would stop the bleeding? She then ripped a bit of her blouse and tied it around the injury.
In a panic she stared around at the ship, looking for any clue of who he was. It was quite large, enough room for three people to sit comfortably. On the side where the name usually was there was a large scorch mark, but she could just make out JU-TER. Even with the large scorch mark in the middle Piper could deduce that this was a shuttle belonging to the Jupiter, the most infamous Roman spacecraft.
She pulled down her sleeve to her smartwatch and tapped contacts. A hologram of her best friend, Leo Valdez, showed up. He had fallen asleep in a strange position on some machinery of some kind. It wasn't harmful, or his AI, Buford, would have woken him up.
"Leo! Wake up," she hissed at the image.
The brunet snapped up instantly. "Wassunt me I swear," he said blearily, before noticing the hologram of Piper. "Oh hey Beauty Queen. What's up?"
"Tell me you know a medic that lives near me? Someone you trust?"
"Uh? Pipes, it's like four in the morning. Why are you injured already? Ugh never mind, tell me later when I've had a coffee. Yeah. Uh Will Solace? You know him? He lives next door to me and Jake, remember?"
"And I can trust him?"
"He knows about my incident so I'd say yeah."
Piper closed the message without saying goodbye and pulled up Will Solace instead.
"Oh good morning Piper. What's up?"
"I heard you're a trustworthy medic. How do you feel about hiding a body?"
"A what?" Will exclaimed in shock. "I tend to prefer the living to the dead, you know."
Piper laughed. "Don't worry, he's alive for now. Can I come over? He's hurt."
