The Tale of Nemesis' Stone
Once upon a time in Ancient Greece there was a beautiful maiden that was admired by many, both godly and mortal. She was an absolute beauty with her long auburn hair, that shined in the sun like a beautiful caramel apple and brown eyes that glistened with humor. Such beauty that some said could rival Lady Aphrodite. This beautiful maiden however caught the eye of the God of Death. The maiden loved the God as well and had seen the softer side of him but she would only accept the suitor that gave her the best gift. Hades, who had quickly fallen in love with her, gave her a sparkling red stone. The stone would allow anything or anyone to rise from their fallen state, how he got the stone was a mystery but the maiden gladly accepted it. The maiden hoped to raise her mother from the dead, who had drowned in a lake when she was a young girl. This however angered Persephone when she heard about her husband's affair. To break them apart and get revenge she went to her friend Nemesis.
Nemesis was angered and jealous that a simple mortal had somehow caught Hades' eye. She set out to get her revenge and drowned the maiden when she was taking a bath at a nearby lake. After drowning the maiden, Nemesis hid the stone from Hades and the other Gods. Hades suffering from grief and anger believing his brother Poseidon had killed the woman of his affection, cursed the stone. The curse stated that if a child of the sea grabbed the stone they would pay the price of almost instant death.
And that is how many of Poseidon's innocent children fell at the hands of that sparkling red stone. The stone was lost and forgotten as time passed on. That was until a son of Nemesis set out to find the stone, an order from his mother, to help the Titan Kronos rise once again...
