She was one of the guardians of Zeus's kingdom; she's silent, unknown and mysterious. No man, nor God have seen her name for ages. They thought she was gone- forgotten, lost, dead.
Her mother knew not of her absence. The deathless river goddess always knew her child was somewhere in between Olympus and Earth. The waters of Tartarus contain all secrets. She knew her grandson was born three hundred thousand years after her daughter disappeared.
Eli; she named him, after her husband's father. Then she left him, when he was three years old, telling him she's leaving because she wanted to protect him.
The three year old Eli did nothing but cry for several hours, begging his father to take him to wherever his mother went; but the man was non-movingly dazed to even reply. His eyes were empty, his world fell apart; because he knew-from the very beginning, that having a child with her would cause them their separation- but he took the risk three years ago anyway, telling her that she'd never be discovered, he told her that their family ties was strong enough to shield them from anything she could ever imagined. But he never listened to her whims and reasons; he was very stubborn in his own way. He never believed that the great Gods still exist. He never knew that they'd want her back in Olympus. He never realized that the time would come that she'll leave his arms, and the only reminder of her presence in his life, was their only son, Eli.
Fourteen years have gone. Andrew has been bringing home different woman every night a month after she left. He never got over her. His eyes were still empty; and his son, Eli, has been a wreck of his own.
He's seventeen years old, tall, fair skinned and an Adonis of his own. He used to be very sweet and charming as a child, but after the abandonment of both of his parents, Eli grew up to be a strong, notorious kid in town.
He is known as someone not to be messed up with- or even crossed. He knew not of reprimands and believes that he is always right, whether the situation is uncalled for or not. He has been to jail countless of times, mainly because of drunk driving and drug possession, his father's secretary or his grandmother Susie always bailed him out. He'd always listen to the cries of her grandma when they'll be driving to their home, his grandfather would always make her grandmother stop. Deep in his mind, Eli knew that his grandfather knows something he does not.
And he is determined to find out old Colonel's secret.
