September 20th, 2003, Eleanor Jackson: age 10

"ELLIE STAY THERE" I watched my mother scream while my stepdad beat her, tears slipped down my face, I knew I was next.

A few moments later my mother was dead, I looked at her limp body. As bruised and bloody as she was, she was beautiful.

Gabe smirked showing his yellow teeth, I resisted the urge to gag.

He grabbed me by the hair and gave me a punch, I screamed.

"Stupid girl, I might spare your life if you become my slave" Gabe sneered while delivering more blows to my body.

"Never!" I screamed.

Gabe stepped on my stomach, I heard a loud crack. Pain shot through my body.

"Life insurance should cover rent" Gabe muttered as he gave me another kick.

I made a 3 fingered claw and pushed outwards, I read in a book that it kept evil spirits away.

Gabe aimed a punch at me towards the stomach just to miss. He kicked again and he was blasted backwards.

"This family would be alright if you weren't here" I heard a light voice say, "such a shame she's a daughter of Poseidon."

Gabe groaned in pain

"Poseidon, god of the sea"? I thought.

I opened my eyes forgetting the bruises, there was a pretty woman with a crown and a sparkling dress that was... greek?

The woman sighed, "don't worry, you shall be safe, your mother will come to you when the time is right."

That was when I realised my mother was covered in a golden light, and she was smiling.

A million questions were blaring in my head but all I could ask was, "I'm sorry, but what is your name ma'am, and why did you save me?

The woman sighed again, "So polite and pretty, but your bloodline ruins it all, I am Hera and usually I wouldn't save you but that walrus" she gestured to Gabe "He defies what I live for.

I gasped, "Isn't Hera the wife of Zeus, the queen of the gods? I read that in a book about myths."

"Foolish girl, we are not myths, we are real, your father is one of the olympians, now, you can choose to believe me, or think this is a lie

"I believe you" I said firmly, It would explain why so many weird things happened in my life.

Hera blinked surprised, "You have chosen well young demigod. Now we shall go to a camp for, for your kind" Hera spat this out "things shall be explained."

A golden light enveloped me and for a moment all I saw was stars and an eagle swooping around.

And BOOM! Suddenly I was on my feet, I collapsed and cried in pain.

I heard hoof steps and I looked up and saw a man on a horse, Wait, there isn't a horse head... WHAT!

Hera helped me up, " Thank you Lady Hera" Of course I added the Lady because she was a goddess, who knows what she can do to me.

"This is Chiron" Hera introduced

I gaped at the half man half horse, I think it was called a cen- censomething er, center, centare, oh yeah, centaur!

"Hello Demigod", greeted the centaur " Come inside and i'll answer some questions and before I forget, what is your name?"

"Eleanor Jackson, are you really the Chiron"? I couldn't help but blurt that out.

Chiron chuckled and nodded, "Now come along, we need to decipher who your parent is and I'm sure you have many questions tha-

"Unfortunately her father is Poseidon" Hera cut in, "I wonder how he gave birth to such a near perfect child" she added as a afterthought.

Chiron's jaw dropped, rapidly he began to mutter

Ω, όχι, είναι ότι το παιδί προφητεία; όχι αυτή δεν μπορεί να είναι, αλλά από τον μεγαλύτερο θεό, όχι, δεν είμαι υπερβολή, αλλά θα μπορούσε η ίδια, ο Ποσειδώνας γιατί πρέπει να σας περιπλέξει (Oh no, she could be the prophecy child, one born to a elder god right? No i'm over thinking this, Poseidon you need to help your daughter )

Weirdly , I knew Chiron was talking about a prophecy and something about Poseidon.

I hurried off to a wood cabin where he told me to go, "What am I doing"? I thought.
