The Pureblood & The Demigoddess – Prologue 1
Summertime 1995, Long Island
One day in a blistering hot summer, a young woman named Elena Mikaelson was walking along the beach in bikini's, shorts and flip-flops while drinking an ice-cold soda. She had taken off her flip-flops and stood in the water. She sighed in relief at the feeling of the cool water lapping at her toes and took a sip of her drink.
"(1)χαιρετίσματα μου άρχοντας Ποσειδώνας, Ζεύς και Απόλλων" said Elena in Greek (A/N: translations at the end). She was fluent in the language and could read & write in it too as she was terrible with English, as she was a descendant of Apollo, as her father Grayson Mikaelson was a son of Apollo.
As though the three deities heard her greeting, the sun shone warmer and brighter (not that the extra heat is needed thought Elena, its already stinking hot today), the sky was a brighter azure and the sea sparkled and a bubbly wave splashed against Elena's legs, making her laugh and slop her drink.
"Oh come on fishy! That's plain cheeky!" Elena said then broke into giggles. Then around 25 metres away from her, a mass of bubbles started forming, in the distance Elena could see the three bronze tips of Poseidon's trident, then the rest of the trident. Soon after that Poseidon himself rose out of the foam and glided over to Elena. "(2) Έλενα, έτσι καλός να βλέπω εσείς πάλι!" he said, enveloping her in a hug, causing her to turn coca-cola red.
"(3)Καλός να βλέπω πολύ απίθανος" Elena replied. Poseidon chuckled at her nickname for him. It actually kind of fit, as all the mortals that weren't clear-sighted could see was two people. A tanned young woman with auburn hair, golden/bronze eyes and golden-brown skin in a turquoise bikini, denim shorts, white flip-flops and a bottle of soda and a small satchel on her shoulder walking with a mid-20's guy who wore a blue Hawaiian shirt (which he left open – to Elena's delight), red board shorts and black billabong flip-flops.
Poseidon currently had tanned, freckled skin, messy black hair that refused to be tamed, eyes that were blue as the sea and said to mimic the currents of the ocean depending on his mood. Right now they were a blue topaz/azure color and swirling peacefully with an occasional wave as he was in a great mood.
He also carried his celestial bronze tipped trident but the mortals only saw a fishing rod and a bucket (which they guessed carried bait and maybe a few fish). They walked for a little while then they sat down. "So Elena, how've you been?" "Not too bad, though my mother is still trying to set me up with the most awful bloke I've ever had the misfortune to meet, not counting the creeps that try to hit on me at camp" Elena replied.
"Besides I dont want to settle down with any of them as I think I'm in love with someone else, and I'm not sure how he feels about me" said Elena, who fiddled with a guitar pick which was a present from her grandfather Apollo, and it could turn into a bow and quiver of golden arrows that always returned to her whenever she shoots with them. Poseidon quirked an eyebrow curiously at the end of Elena's little speech, as he knew how annoying her mom could be. She had even tried setting him up with a – for lack of a better description – OTT Barbie doll.
He grimaced at the memory, not one of his better moments on earth, though Aphrodite had to tease him about it back on Olympus – Poseidon suspected it was a prank from her, though he never bothered asking about it. "I'm a curious guy Elena, even if I am a couple thousand years old, so I'm curious as to who this mystery guy is" Elena snickered and replied "well, he has a tendency to dress in Hawaiian shirts a lot"
Poseidon nodded while mimicking taking notes with a mock serious expression on his face which Elena found quite humorous. Elena rolled her eyes and continued, "he also has dark hair, eyes that make you think of the sea, a fantastic body – especially for his age – and clusters of gorgeous freckles. Oh and he carries what the mortals see as a bucket & fishing rod, but what is actually a trident.
And he also looks hot in Greek armour come to think of it and has a trident tattooed on his arm" Elena finished, looking anywhere but at Poseidon while turning coca-cola red again and kept fiddling with her guitar pick (she had ADHD as part of being a demigod – she didn't mind it but it got annoying now and again).
Poseidon just sat there in stunned silence. Elena likes me?! But I'm a god, one of the big three, one of the 12 Olympians! Blimey... he thought. "Y-you like me?" he asked nervously. Elena looked at him and nodded, her skin returning to its normal colour. "Yes, Poseidon. I do like you a lot" she replied with a small smile, blushing slightly.
"Well I have a bit of a confession to make myself I'm to be honest here" he said, sitting up and looking her in the eye. "Ok" Elena replied, wondering what he was going to confess. Poseidon sighed and took her hands which were quite soft, despite how often she practised archery and gripped her wand as she was a witch as well as a demigod.
I wonder how she handles being magical as well as being a demigod... Poseidon thought. "What I wanted to tell you is that I have grown very fond of you Elena, as more than a friend, like a boyfriend and his girlfriend" said Poseidon. Elena sucked in a breath. Oh my gods he likes me! Even though mortal and immortal doesn't exactly work out... wow! Elena thought as a bright smile graced her features.
"You really like me?" she asked, just to be sure. Poseidon grinned and nodded. "Yes Elena Mikaelson, I do have feelings for you" he whispered, slowly leaning into her while gently brushing her hair out of her face that had fallen out of her messy ponytail. She leant in and the pair closed the remaining distance and their lips met in a glorious combination of the sun and the sea. Man and woman. Mortal and immortal. God and demigoddess. Their kiss had started out slowly and gently then increased in passion until they felt the need to breathe. They broke apart, their chests heaving. "(4)ότι ήταν απίστευτος!" Elena exclaimed. Poseidon grinned and replied "(5)δεν μπορώ υποστηρίζουν με ότι" Elena laughed and said "What'll we do now fishy?" Poseidon thought for a moment, his eyes darkening in lust while taking in Elena's body.
"Why dont we take this to the bedroom?" he said in a low husky tone that sent shivers down Elena's spine. She smiled back and grinned. "Sure thing" she replied, standing up, putting her guitar pick back into her satchel and holding her hand out to Poseidon. He took it and he mist-travelled them to her room where they dropped their belongings and kissed again, with more passion than they had on the beach.
Elena kicked off her flip-flops and (almost) ripped off her shorts while Poseidon ditched his clothes. While he was taking his shirt and shorts off, he saw her eyes darken with undisguised lust as she took off her bikini. Then the two fell onto her bed, passionately making out when their bodies joined in the most intimate way possible.
Mid-late afternoon found them tangled in Elena's bed, while Elena was sleeping, Poseidon held her and gently traced patterns on her skin. Elena sighed softly in her sleep and snuggled closer to Poseidon. He smiled and chuckled quietly so as not to wake her, though several seconds later her eyes opened and she saw the handsome sea god gazing at her. "Hey" he whispered softly. "Hey yourself" she whispered back.
They leant in to kiss but her stomach growled, ruining the moment. Elena let out a peal of giggles and untangled herself torturously slowly, causing Poseidon to groan. Elena snickered as she got dressed again into denim shorts and a gold sparkly halter-neck top and gold high heeled shoes. Then she waved her wand, making her hair style itself into a fancy yet casual curled up-do, then her golden hair accessories float and clip into place.
Then she charmed her makeup on and packed her things that she took everywhere into her satchel. Poseidon had gotten dressed in the meantime and had been wondering how she managed to fit everything she needed in. "How do you fit everything in that?" he asked while doing up some of the buttons of his shirt. "Undetectable extension charm" Elena replied, looking around for her money pouch that she stored her drachma's in.
Poseidon held it out to her as he'd added some drachmas into it for her. "Thanks fishy" she said and added it to her bag. Then hand in hand they walked down to the kitchen where Poseidon quickly prepared them some food. Elena made them both a cosmopolitan and conjured a mini brazier and she scraped a small portion of her food and said "(6)Απόλλων" then they both dug in after Elena charmed the flames to change colour.
Then when they were finished Poseidon quickly changed his clothes to a beach tank top and green boardies, though he kept the black billabong flip-flops. Then Elena apparated them to the beach where there were tiki torches set up for the beach party that afternoon, most likely going into the night. "(7)Έλενα! Έλενα, επί εδώ!" Elena's close friend Mark Evans called out from the 'music station' as they dubbed it. Elena jogged over to mark, taking her heels off as she made her way over with Poseidon close behind.
"(8)Σημειώστε! Μεγάλος να βλέπω εσείς φίλε!" Elena chirped back, both friends slipping into their habit of speaking Greek which they had studied intently at Camp Half-Blood when they stayed there. They even decided to get the Greek editions of the textbooks they had used at school as they were able to read them without translation runes.
"Oh Markie! You're finally here! Go away Mikaelson, we don't want you here" said Mariana Nash, one of the snobbiest girls Elena had the misfortune to meet, not counting some of the Aphrodite campers at Camp Half-Blood where she spent her summer, most of the time. "Seriously Nash? 'Go away Mikaelson, we don't want you here'? That the best you can come up with? (9)Εγώ θα έτσι αγάπη να προβολή αυτήν μόλις τι εγώ μπορώ κάνω ότι αυτή δεν μπορώ!" said Elena, the last sentence in Greek to Mark and Poseidon.
She knew full well that Mariana wouldn't be able to understand her. "(10)Αυτό θα ήθελα να δω, κανένα αδίκημα στο Λόρδο Άδη, αλλά Φοβού σαν ημίθεος απαξιωθεί!" said Mark who was struggling to hold in his laughter. "(11)Θα ήθελα να πληρώσει σε δραχμές για να δείτε ότι" said Poseidon who was also struggling to avoid laughing.
"(12)Μετρήστε μου σε πάρα σήμα" said a beautiful feminine voice, the three of them turned around to see Aphrodite, the goddess of love & beauty standing there in the same outfit as Elena, except her top and shoes were pink. "(13)κυρία Αφροδίτη" said Mark and Elena in unison as they bowed in a polite gesture out of habit. "(14)Γεια Σημειώστε, Έλενα" Aphrodite, giving both demigods a hug, holding Mark for a bit longer. They broke apart and partied into the night.
A/N: Welcome to my new crossover "The Pureblood & The Demigoddess". I've decided to make this in the same timeline as "Not Just Werewolves" for the same reasons. Speaking of NJW, I'm hoping to have a new chapter up, I just need to research 1500's lifestyles a bit more thoroughly. Anyway this is a marauder era fic and in the PJ sector I've decided to make it after the Giant War (you know, all the hoo-ha with Gaia AKA Terra) and I'll try to incorporate as many of the characters as I can to the best of my current abilities. The other prologue should be up soon, this is pretty much the intro of one of the demigod/witch characters, the other prologue will be for the other demigod/witch and then the story should kick into gear. See ya, JediGirl95
Oh before I forget, here are the Greek translations:
1 – Greetings my Lords Poseidon, Zeus and Apollo (Elena)
2 – Elena, so good to see you again (Poseidon)
3 – Good to see you too fishy (Elena)
4 – That was incredible! (Elena)
5 – Can't argue with that (Poseidon)
6 – Apollo (Elena)
7 – Elena! Elena, over here! (Mark)
8 – Mark! Great to see you buddy (Elena)
9 – I would so love to show her just what I can do that she can't (Elena)
10 – That I would love to see, no offence to Lord Hades but hell hath no fury like a demigod scorned! (Mark)
11 – I would pay drachmas to see that (Poseidon)
12 – Count me in to Mark (Aphrodite)
13 – Lady Aphrodite (Elena & Mark)
14 – Hi Mark, Elena (Aphrodite)
And if there are any readers that speak Greek, your assistance with translating would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not sure how accurate Google translate is and I (sadly) can't speak Greek though I would like to learn at some point...
