"She will be subject to Calypso's punishment, Poseidon. Having been born on the island, the ground that bears the curse as well, she will be imprisoned there till the curse is lifted." Athena told Poseidon grimly in the time before the council meeting was to begin.
Poseidon sighed and Athena could see a deep sadness in her rival's eyes. It did her no pleasure to see him in pain such as this. She knew that even he would not wish for this to befall Athena, so why should Athena wish it against him?
Athena put a hand on his arm in comfort. "I am truly sorry, Poseidon. I will visit the child to see if I can limit the curse, but I make no guarentees..."

When Athena visited the child the next day, she knew something was off about the babe.
The child was beautiful even in her infancy, with black ringlets that framed a heart shaped face and creamy moonlit skin. Her eyes, though. One eye was a beautiful sea-green blue, while the other was a terror-inducing bloody crimson. The infant reached out a hand and gripped a locke of Athena's hair in her tiny fist. She was stronger than any child should be and when she smiled with glee, her smile revealed two tiny, yet sharp, fangs.
"How can this be? A vampiric godling? Was she blessed by Nyx?" Athena questioned Calypso, the mother of the baby girl.
The imprisoned Titaness just nodded grimly. "I have been feeding her ambrosia and nectar, but she is only satisfied by blood." Calypso said quietly, terrified that Athena would tell Zeus and he'd kill her daughter.
Athena rocked the babe and was silent for a moment. "I won't tell, but I'll try to contact Hecate to subdue her hunger till she can feed on her own, or until her immortality kicks in." she said and Calyso agreed.

Athena came back a week later with the potion and supplies to make more if they were needed. Calypso thanked the kind Olympian and carefully took in all of Athena's instructions.
When Athena had hold of the child for one last time she asked Calypso for the babe's name.
"Her name is Ambrosia." She responded.
"I, Athena, bless you, Ambrosia, with all of my domains. May you never truly need them all." Athena said, waving a hand over the babe's face and Ambrosia's eyes were outlined in a grey hue.
"Thank you, my Lady." Calypso said.
Before we part, you must know these things. One, Ambrosia will become fully immortal at the age of eighteen just as any godling. Two, her vampiric traits will begin to surface when she is sixteen. And three, she will begin to gain her domains when she is again, sixteen."
Athena gently placed Ambrosia in her mother's arms and walked over to the cavern wall and lightly tapped it. The wall began to shift and change till it was only a doorway to a hall that led to three rooms. A massive library, another bedroom, and a training room that doubled as a altar room.
"I will now take my leave," Athena said as she vanished in a flash of light.
"It's just the two of us for now on, Amby." Calypso said softly as Ambrosia lightly snored.
"Only us."
