First I want it to be known that I am not following mythology by the legends for this series. I love mythology especially the Greek and Arthurian and I know a lot of the myths, but in my mythology series I've changed some stuff to fit the stories.
I am starting with this story Greek Magic, this isn't the prologue, I decided to add this page to explain my story better, so that you won't get lost, hopefully. I have made a lot of changes to the myth and I thought it would be easier if I explained everything about the Greeks beginning before I start the story.
Immortals: strong magical being who are considered witches only stronger, the 12 major immortals can cast spells, power over the elements, and most witchy powers, and have powers that they were given rule over.
My myth (for the story): the Greek 'gods and goddess' weren't really gods or goddess, they were strong magical being known as immortal's. Zeus and Hera were the first; they married and had two children Ares and Athena. Years after the birth of their children they noticed that many of their brethren were being killed by werewolf's and vampire, enemies who were banning together to take down the immortals, who they feared. Zeus and Hera sent their mightiest warriors Ares and Athena to defeat their enemies, and they did as they were told, but when they returned they told their parents of the many children, who were all strong but were orphaned because of the war, so Hera took it upon herself to adopt the orphans, twins Apollo and Artemis, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hermes, and Hephaestus. When the orphan's reached adulthood Zeus who was power hungry decided to ask his children to help him, together they took control of the world, but all wasn't well. After years of ruling Zeus had turned evil and had plans to destroy humans, so the other 11 immortal rulers had no choice but to kill Zeus. And ever since they have watched the world, keeping peace, and protecting the ones who don't realize that the things that go bump in the night are actually real.
