Since the very beginning the gods have always been careful when it came to their children and their destinies. They have laws to prevent interfearance with fate. The laws may be broken from time to time, but for the most part they are strictly observed. One such law has only been broken four times in the millenia since it was introduced.

Gods shall not have mortal children with demigods.

This simple law has caused more chaos, war, and catastrophe then any other in any of the Ages.

Each of the four times was more disasterous than the next. The first god to break his vow, was Zeus. He had a son with a daughter of Poseidon. The boy was one of the most powerful mortals to have ever been born, having both power over the ocean, like his mother, and control over the sky like his father. By the age of five, the boy was able to create full scale storms in his bath. He turned against Olympus when he was in his late teens, believing them to be unfair and corrupt. In the end he managed to cause a tsunami that killed thousands of people. As punishment the gods threw him, still living into the depths of Taurtarus. No one knows his exact fate, but it is said he lost his sanity before reaching the bottom.

The second god to slip was Hephaestus. The girl was a daughter of Aphrodite, one who, unlike her siblings, wasn't afraid to get dirty. His mistake resulted in a daughter with power over both fire and emotion. The gods didn't take immediate action because the two powers didn't appear to be too hazardous when combined. The girl was almost as powerful as her predicessor, even possessing the ability to conjure fire at her will. The problem started when she managed to combine her emotional manipulation and fire abilities to create a wall of fire so intense, that it burned anything within a five mile radius. The wall reacted to emotional stimuli, meaning that if someone was angry or scared it would flare, spreading the flames over nearly all of London. Her punishment is one that to this day the gods refuse to discuss.

The third infraction was made by Ares. The daughter of Athena he fell for gave birth to twins. The gods figured these children to be a blessing of sorts, since their natural intelligance combined with their inherited warfare brilliance, could result in them becoming the most powerful military leaders in history. Unfortunatly, the fates were against this. The boys didn't live to see their glory days. They killed each other over a daughter of Hades, murdering her in the process. Now the two reside in the fields of punishment, tortured by the Furies themselves, as punishment for their murders.

The fourth violation was committed by Poseidon, who fell for a daughter of Hephaestus. The resulting child was one constantly at war with himself. He was a child of fire and water. Poseidon managed to keep him secret until one day his warring natures got the best of him and lost his sanity. The boy ran through the streets steaming and setting anything he touched a light. The gods took pity on the boy and turned him into a statue. One that to this day can be seen in his father's realm.

After the fourth violation extra precautions were put into place to prevent further chaos. The gods became even more distant from their children. Oaths on the River Styx were made. This all worked until the day The Oracle made her most dire prophecy yet. One that could mean the end of all that is considered Western Civilization.

A/N so this is an idea I came up with. It will follow the mother of the fifth 3/4 blood. The story will be in her POV. There will be character death. Please tell me what you think of the idea :D
