The Adventures of Mara Jade Olympia

Prologue: The Fate of Mara Jade Olympia

Silent. Dead silent was the city of Los Angeles. Streetlights filled the streets with light. Sidewalks slept, getting their rest for the next day of people walking here and there. But most of them had to stay up, for three people in dark cloaks were walking along the dead silent streets of Los Angeles. There were two men, with the names of Poseidon and Zeus. There was also a woman with the name of Hera. Hera had a bundle of blankets in her arms. In those blankets was a small, little baby girl, with a necklace of a lightning bolt around her little neck and bright green-blue eyes.

"Zeus can't we keep her? She would be safe with us," Hera said.

"No, my dear. It would be too dangerous to keep our baby girl with us." Zeus said to his wife.

"Tell me again, why am I here?" asked Poseidon to his brother.

"Because my little girl has a lot of you in herself and the other gods," Zeus explained.

"Oh," said Poseidon. "Who will take care of this child?"

"A couple that was just married a couple months ago," Zeus said.

"I've been watching over them and they seem to be a good family for our little girl." Hera said. The group was silent for a few moments, only the stars watching their presence.

A few minutes later, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus stopped in front of a little, blue townhouse with a great ocean view.

"I like these people. They seem to know good taste of where to live," said Poseidon.

"Poseidon. When will you ever learn?" Zeus said, annoyed with his brother. "Hera. Put the baby on the door steps of the townhouse."

Hera did as she was told but with tears in her blue eyes.

"It's ok my love. Will we soon see our little girl," Zeus said, trying to comfort his wife.

"What will we name her?" Hera asked.

"How about Andromeda?" Poseidon suggested.

"No, how about Mara Jade?" Zeus suggested. Hera and Poseidon both nodded their heads. "Well then, good luck Mara Jade Olympia. I will see you soon."

And the gods of Mount Olympus left the little girl called Mara Jade Olympia on the doorsteps of an ocean front home.
