Chapter 1: prologue

Before the pact of the Big Three.

The nine year old Nico Di Angelo was playing with the nine year old Sam at the clearing. The two were very close that you might think they were siblings. But they were also different. Sam had beautiful green eyes and black straight hair while Nico had brown eyes, sometimes mistaken to be black, and had brown shaggy hair.

"One, two, three! I see Nico behind the tree!, Sam shouted as they played hide and seek. Nico groaned then said," You got me again!" Sam smiled and they began to laugh their heads out. This was their normal routine everyday. Until the day they got separated for the first time.

While they were playing, they suddenly heard yelling and sword clashing. "You hear that?", Nico you heard that? Sam nodded. They both looked afraid. What will two kids do if they were caught in the battle? So they tried to race towards the place Nico had been staying.

Suddenly Hades appeared. A dark aura surrounded him like a shadow. He looked at Sam with disgust and turned to Nico which is standing between his dad and Sam.

"Nico, you must come with me now!", he ordered. "No dad!", Nico stood protectively. Hades looked like he was about to blast his own son into pieces but thought better of it. "I have no time to be messed with your puny attempts." And with that Nico and Hades had vanish leaving only a pile of black ash.

Sam was shaken with fear with what just happened to her best friend. She still didn't know how powerful the gods were. She started sobbing and crying out to Nico.

Of coarse her father took pity on her. At first she was alone in the clearing. Then a bright green light appeared. And standing there was the god of the sea himself. He looked young and charming. His smile was warm and he smelled like the cool ocean breeze.

"Hello child." He greeted. The girl raced towards the man crying. "Dad, Nico's gone away now..", she cried. Poseidon took pity on her and tried to comfort his child. "Hush child. I know you're strong. But please….please listen" Sam held her tears back. And looked at her fathers face. "A war has broken and we need to stand our ground. You need to stay away to a place that no one can hurt you-" he was cut by Sam. "Dad I want to fight too." Sam brought out a stick and began to grip it like a sword. Poseidon manage a weak smile. Ï know you do. But this war is not your fight. You are destined for greater achievements." With his words Sam was transported back to her house.

At first she was dazed by an awful smell but she just shrugged it off. "Mom! Bryan!", she called out to her mm and her big brother. As she turned towards the kitchen, she was again taken aback by the same rotting smell. It was now more intense. Like a dead rat you left in the open for days.

"Mom?..", she fell silent as she saw a man in a dark coat looking down at the now broken body of her mother. She just stood there. Tears flowing down her cheeks while thoughts passed through her mind. She was unaware of her surroundings then. Unaware of the smiling man chanting an evil curse. Unaware of her brother bloodied at thee corner screaming her name asking her to turn around and run. Unaware of her heart shattering to pieces.

She just stood there thinking it was only a dream. Wishing it were only a dream. She was now an orphan. A dead mother lying on the ground not ever moving again. A brother whose last breath is being wasted by screaming for her to run. And a father who she thought she will never meet again. It was just so painful. She felt so useless. For a child with too much pain. She didn't even got to say goodbye. Everyone around her just disappeared without any goodbye. And she hated it.

Then she was brought back to reality by a white hand that seemed to reach out to her little dark hole. It reminded her of Nico. The way ha smiled, the way he laughed. But it didn't matter anymore. He's gone. And she's lying on the floor, not knowing how she got there, and not really caring how. She just drifted to unconsciousness. At least a short break from reality.

She was awoken by mumbling of voices. "She should have to loose her memory for now.", said a woman. "but she'll feel lonely", complained another voice. It was a familiar voice of a man. She did her best to look asleep and keep her eyelids closed.

"It's better that way. Like of those Hades kids."

The man spoke in defeat, "I guess it's for her good with the prophecy and all…"

"And it is for her pain too ease with the curse she's bearing, she's going to need a pain killer." And with that a bright light appeared. So bright Sam could see it under her eyelids.

She lost her memory in an instant. The way her mother would smell. The way bryan would play with her. The way Nico would make her laugh. But the memory that stayed with her are the ones that she held most dear. But it was sad to know her best friend was never in those chosen few.
