Sally, Sally Jackson was a good child. When her parents Jim and Estelle left her to her uncle Rich's home her uncle thought as usual he would be able to spend with his niece, then his brother would come home to receive her.
Surely as far as Richard could not remember, having a brother ,he was born as the only child of his mother. So when Jim 'James' Jackson offered him a brotherly relationship he was overjoyed to be exact.
He never married anyone thinking if his wife doesn't approve of the niece whom he adored as his own daughter.
So when Richard heard about the plane crash he was devastated to be exact, but as he has no job in the moment he decided he would spend his life taking care of Sally with the small fortune Jim has left for them.
One thing about Jim unnerved Richard how much small the possession of Jim seemed but they would never end, it's was mystery.
Richard taught some initial things to Sally for the preschool. But it looked like the fates could not interfere with their grandpa, Chaos for sure but they decided to run out the luck of the mortal family of the creator as the never ending money of Jim started to end. Rich knew it would happen oneday.
He only thought may the gods help her if he dies , he knew some unknown disease started to spread in his body. But not thinking about his own future and misery Richard decided to admit Sally in school sure he can waive the fees demanded and he also has started to work in many stores. Sally when was 6 she started to get to know her world she was told that her parents both died in plane crash in Ontario, she was thankful that her uncle worked hard day and night so that he could feed her well.
Sally was proud of her uncle so when someone asked her about parents she would respond about her uncle her head held high. Apart from all the financial problems and lower middle class status Sally had also a problem which she never shared with anyone even two times she told her uncle when he suggested to go to pschyologist for the cure or probably headache she stopped asking anyone else about it. It all started when she was going to a school trip with her classmates. Then she saw a scene which run shiver down her spine. A big dog not like you see in everyday of size like the Mastiff breed or the Chihuahua dogs but it was size of a large truck and for sure when young Sally exclaimed, "Look Sarah, a big doggie is coming towards us". To her horror her friend Sarah said, "You think we are idiots aren't you, that you make us believe a truck to be a giant doggie." So apparently her friends could not see it or if they saw it as a truck, Sally got curious. Sally saw the beast was a giant hound it was not pursuing her probably it was watching some other person who had the misfortune, because the beast's red eyes held swirl of anger from the ancient times.
When Sally was a child of two her dad Jim has made a good habit of her in knowing about Greek mythology as well as Roman which tradition her own uncle Richard still complied. Previously she would hear stories of great achievements by Olympians and the demigods who descended from the gods to fight the wars and to establish peace and to ensure the safety for their own people. When Sally was growing up and could read ,her uncle made it to routine to read mythology twice in a week, Sally was thankful for it. Despite the education system Sally had a soft spot for mythology and as she first watched one of them yes they did not act as though in their eyes she didn't exist. So Sally watched them curious eyes and in her uncle's home , library she discovered the hound whom she observed in her school-bus journey she actually saw a hellhound, normally serving in the underworld specially near the field of punishment in Hades's palace ,the mythological guard of Hades's palace, Cerebrus was their most famous kin. But they were mythological beings so they should not suppose to exist but instead Sally saw it regardless. Upon studying further Sally was able to know upon the sorcery of Lady Hecate or Lady Trivia in her Roman form, a veil cover the mythological divine world from the mortal non mythological beings. But only demigods and some gifted mortals like her could see through. Days led into years.
She have seen womenish dragons or Dracanae with misfit clothes trying to blend in with mortals and surely the mortals even bought for them being normal, sure over time these monsters probably have learnt to bend the mist in their favours of survival of themselves. She even saw bunch of teenagers running with weapons and couple of monsters chasing. At first she thought she would help them. Surely after the discovery of Atomic Bomb and knowing the real cause of lightning in the sky or the moon to be the only satellite of the Earth, even men sending Apollo 11 mission to venture upon the moon Sally felt it was quite impossible to believe they, the mythological beings which science couldn't explain and told as folklore not only existed but also, they have their own world.
Sally never got the chance to explain to others . Her only living guardian Richard's health was not good in condition. And Sally never wanted to be in risk to be in the business of demigods like helping in journeys because if the all mythological beings who called themselves to be Olympians, then surely Lord Zeus must not be patient to her life as she has lost both parents in his domain. Sally was very good student, not only in education but her humble, benevolency towards fellow students didn't go unnoticed by her teachers. Upon her uncle's request she could not apply for scholarship for which she was proud of. Uncle Richard could not take care of her more as his health condition was deteriorating, he had to leave his job which he was doing in the 175 th St. of Queens. For sure when Jim 'James' married Estelle they wanted to be near the New York, as Jim had a hunch that if the luck runs out they would have to leave their daughter to earn herself. As a result they moved on to Queens an alleyway after Richard's shop. The fortune given by Jim slowly run out, Sally was in her upper high school, she was in her senior year when probably the three fates probably turn back back to them fit for the time. Her uncle was diagnosed with the dangerous disease cancer, despite the utmost request,pleas of uncle Sally decided to drop out from school, she would serve the only person whom she had won as her father and mother. Sally had always a hidden desire to be a famous writer to go to college but she had a motto, family first in any case. But as the disease had no cure despite many praying and hard determinations, crying Richard died at the age of 48. In the grey of world Sally was left alone. Sally started to work in different jobs, but problem was people didn't want her as her appearance was of a delicate family and some people told she was too much young to earn her money. Sally had heard from people that life in Manhattan was with various scopes sure the cost of lifestyle was much but if you can manage to lay by money which Sally came across that her uncle had saved from spending despite his health, she would be able to be in the city. So Sally sold the house in Queens. Sure after selling ,many memories of her parents came by , surely she could not remember her parents but the photographs which mainly focused her mom, and her uncle Richard living in their room these came by in her mind. Her eyes welled up in tears. But she knew bad times would come and pass by but she would be going, she would surely survive. So Sally bought an apartment near the Manhattan. Sally tried for many jobs in the city, after many jobs, and failures she was suited with a job offered in 'The Sweet In America' a candy shop where the shop-owner lady was kind to provide her. In those years Sally was feeling an attraction towards the oceans, it's tides always çalmed her down, apart from many beaches she was touched with the beach near the East-end of Long Island Peninsula, Montauk village which was a calm village having beaches touching the blues of Atlantic Ocean, sure there were modern technology's as in 1796 lighthouse, or WW2 radar bases, bunk. Sally went to the beach in her yearly holidays there she also thought to make a cabin where she would come by and stay as there were not so many hotels and she would not have to bear the bills in her every vacations. Sure her life changed but she still saw the mythological beings, more than she observed in Queens like they were greater numbers in the city of Manhattan. on her way to Montauk Sally has seen many running children in groups of two or three, but she didn't bother to ask in fear. Thus the years were passing, Sally went to the beach time to time. Oneday, in month of July, Sally observed some unusual things in Montauk. From her cabin she saw a lonely person holding a fishing tool was like conversing with a dolphin, and to her wonder the man was far from the shore. The man had a unusual aura, if she was a huntress or a half-blood she would bow or grovel towards the person. Again the mist was too much thick around the area that people in the beach didn't give the person their thoughts like you could see a person communicating with sea creatures in everyday basis. After Sally promised to herself she would not bother about the mythological world in her trip. After when Sally was wandering she accidentally ran into the person of her previous watch. The man helped Sally to her feet. Sally said timidly , "Hi I am Sally Jackson". Upon closer look Sally deduced that the man has an authoritative aura surrounding him specially like there, like the man should be dealt with respect. And the person was observing with curiosity, amused expression. The man said in a heavy,warm voice ,"Hello I am Poseidon". Then Sally did a double take, sure in these days you could not see a person whose name is based on Greek Sea god. Sally thought it cannot be, upon observing closely Sally saw which resembled fishing tool in his hand, was originally a three points trident, the great weapon welded by the famous sea God. Sally put the pieces together, she said her voice cracking in tension ,"As in the Greek god of sea, earthquake, storms, horses." After completing her sentence she bowed to Poseidon. Poseidon's eyes which held curiosity mixed with worry as it was against rules to discuss about divine world to regular mortal as long as they were not clear sighted. Poseidon only nodded and said, "I can call you Sally alright , can you show me a secluded spot where we can make a conversation?" Sally was in shock never in her mortal life she thought a deity none other than one of the big three Olympians would be interested in her, by tales Sally could tell Poseidon was famous for his kindness unless you count the flood incident in Athens and to drown humans upon Zeus's pestering. Poseidon didn't smite people in flick of finger. So Sally showed him the cabin where Poseidon closed the door. Then he said, "Sally as you know when time to time you come here we have watched you in great enthusiasm. If you noticed previously or not I can't tell that on your behalf that we Olympians are still present in the civilization and the main cause of influencing it. We moved continuous towards west and now we are in Manhattan. As the mythology says, we kinda still fall in love with mortals like you based on our interests. As I can say that time to time you visit the beach I have developed feelings for you". Sally was in joy sure she was not greedy and always hardworking lady but to give birth a son with the sea god is an honor, he had sired many greatest heroes walk on Earth like Theseus,Bellerophon, Atlas the king of Atlantis, unless you count the infamous Orion. Sally saw wrinkles of worry in Poseidon's face she asked , "What are you worrying m'lord, sure Lady Amphritite would be offended with you but your offsprings are very famous indeed". Poseidon said nonchalantly, "Sally my brother is the problem in this case both of brothers, in case you would not know the great world war 2 was a mortal war fought between my and Zeus's kids against the Hades kids which ended up in violence. After the war we vowed we big three would not bear children in the peace treaty. Hades had taken his exile in underworld and is welcome in thorne room. But my brother Zeus would not be very happy if he heard about I am seeing you. But from many nymphs and water spirits I have heard that he was seeing a drunk actress the famous Beryl Grace lately. So probably I can threaten if he tries to endanger our offspring. But it doesn't change that we Olympians can't take care of children, mortal family for the ancient laws set by Zeus in the days we lived in Greece. Nobody wants to anger the king. And if my offspring comes along he/she would be very powerful indeed and the monsters would be after him/her." Sally was hearing all conversation with rapt attention. She said sighing, "Look Poseidon I also have gotten close to your domain, I have also developed feelings for you, as for our protection I would try my best to protect our child. What would happen in future we can not dwell upon it. We should go on in our own ways." Poseidon nodded in apprehension after Sally's deduction. Poseidon only knew if fate was against them probably the future of Olympus would rest upon his future child. After the day they both started to see each other lately and lived for night the cabin. Soon the fateful day of 18th August,1993 Sally and Poseidon welcomed a son whom they both named to be Perseus Jackson, sure Persus was Zeus's child, but from all demigods' history he was the one to have a happy ending in his life. Poseidon would watch over the kid resting in crib. He could not be involved in the lives of his mortal family but the nerieds have developed great interest towards the boy, they would see the child of sea after waiting many years. They would rise from waves to watch over as the mother would take her child in the warmth of sun. In Manhattan Sally's business was fairing well atleast for raising her child. She had appointed many maid servant to assist her child. But problem was the monsters started taking notice of them for first time in time of journey she watched one pair of red violent eyes of hellhound following her as if noticing. Oneday after her work in candy store returning she saw her apartment door was open and the maid servant assigned to look after her child was missing, she immediately smelt danger. When she went for her baby a shiver ran down her spine, her child was holding a big python snake in his todddler little hands, somehow he was able to strangle the vicious beast. Sally didn't need anybody to know that the maid had been a monster all along. Probably used the mist well to blend in for their gain. Despite the situation Sally could not help but admire that her baby boy was able to kill the snake as Hercules did in all those years ago but Sally doubted Hera would know her child's existence and would want to kill her son endangering the wrath of sea God. Sally knew she had to make a decision, she had to marry a person who would raise her baby boy and take care as his own. She knew it was a serious decision so she prayed to fates to be with her son. But the fates probably laughed at the face of Sally as she met with the person Gabe Ugliano, who played poker game and seemed good despite his taskless walrus like appearance, if only Sally knew how bad he was, but nonetheless his odor was too much Sally thought it would be enough to protect her baby boy and the man could not be a monster for sure. So she married Gabe when Percy was 4 and she knew Percy would go to the camp in the farmroad of Long Island sound in 12. So Gabe started to live with them after the marriage. Surely the monster pursuers have decreased by alarming rate which Sally took as a good sign.
