Son of the Hearth

by MHCynogriffon

When a virgin goddess gives birth, the world trembles at the power of her son. But the child will live a life of misery, cursed from the day of his birth to always be outcast for he should never have existed. When he sees another half-blood, one born of a god who swore never to have another child, being accepted into Camp Half-Blood, he feels the fires of jealousy burn within him.

1. Epigraph

"No one will ever write epic poems about the deeds of Hestia. But that is no matter. I keep the peace. I yield when necessary. "- Hestia

"One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way." ~ Vincent Van Gogh
