Dora hopped into her bed. Her flaming red hair was cut in a short bob, and it matched her Elmo pajamas. Her mother came and tucked her in with a goodnight kiss. Then Dora's father came in.
"Daddy? What happened to the princess?" Dora asked.
"What princess?" Her father walked over to the window and closed the blinds.
"The one who moved to America."
"Oh, you mean Aphrodite. You want to hear it now?"
Dora nodded. Her father sat himself in the rocking chair next to her bed.
"So she left him.
"And she raised the boy in New York City, and he grew more like his father than his mother, even though he was still a toddler. She waited one year, then two, then three. Each day, her hopes of finding him shrank. Eventually, she feared he had been killed during the war.
"She was heartbroken, and she knew she would not be able to take care of a young boy in this state. She could not bear to see a boy who looked so much like his father. She dropped Jordan off at the orphanage and fled. She was not heard of for many years.
"Jordan grew up in the orphanage. He became very popular with the boys in the orphanage, but he always felt different from them. When he was eleven, he ran away. Somehow, he made his way into the countryside. One day, he stopped by the road near Long Island. On the top of the hill, he saw a strange creature. It beckoned, and Jordan came close. He saw that it was a centaur, a half –man, half-horse named Chiron.
"Chiron became a close friend of his. He told him he was a half-blood; half human, half god. His mother was Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He lived and trained with the other half-bloods, and never went back to the orphanage. When he was fifteen, he started wondering about his parents. He barely remembered his mother, and he didn't remember his father at all. Chiron told him his mother seemed to have disappeared from the face of the planet, and she was under the impression that Thomas had died in the war.
"Jordan went on a quest to find his father. He traveled throughout Europe and searched for three years. He looked in records, asked people, and eventually, he found him in England. He sent a message to Olympus to ask where his mother was. The gods and goddesses searched for her, and found her, and she was reunited with her true love.
"Jordan, now being eighteen, went back to New York. He lived in the city, running various jobs for Chiron and helping out in camp during the summer. He was there for six years. Then Chiron sent him to England to keep an eye out for half-bloods to send back to camp. Europe was a mess, and another war broke out, even worse than the one when Jordan was little. He also fought against another half-blood, Hitler.
"When he was twenty-four, he met a wood nymph named Dora. Now, wood nymphs aren't human. They can turn into trees, and they have green hair. They fell in love, got married, and had a baby boy. His name was Theodore.
"So Jordan continued to find half-bloods, and Theodore was stayed home with his mother. One day, when Jordan was home, there was an air-raid. The three of them ran to the subway. They heard bombs drop above while they waited for hours in the crowded subway. Halfway through, Dora became pale. She seemed to have fallen asleep, but she never woke up when it was over. When Jordan went outside, he saw that Dora's tree had died during the raid. Her life force was gone. Theodore was only three."
Nymphadora had fallen asleep already. Her father kissed her forehead and left the room. He could continue tomorrow.
