Her name was Malivina; a mysterious goddess who preferred to stay away from the world of gods and man. With her sea-colored hair, she was the envy of all when she emerged. Yet, she preferred to stay with her green-eyed lover. And... okay, this was not Lea's world. This was also a bit page five-oh-eight on pornhub. Malivina, girl, you are very kinky. Lea needed to get the hell away from there.
Her name was Aurelia ; the lights of heaven lived with her eyes. Her Father was the King, and the Queen was her stepmother. She was to be married away like common cattle to the infamous Giant-Killer though no one knew who he was. This wasn't Lea's world either, and as pretty as she was, she just wanted it on record that Carla was right about blond not being her color. She still made it work. Poor Argos though especially when Hermes counterpart came strolling through with his eyes on a cloak.
She is Clara, and the rain and rivers were her brothers. The clear skies were her parents. She was everything that was right in the world; at least until the world gained her wrath then everything that went wrong was at her hand. The only one that could stave her rage was also not Lea's Hermes. Though the daughter of Poseidon; not however the fuck you pronounced that, Lea certainly wasn't going to try— the daughter of Poseidon could admit that she was beautiful even if her hair was somehow curlier than Alkína's had been and was probably a violation of the geneva convention. And if she turned into another damn horse, there was going to be a problem!
Cordelia was a mystical goddess; one to never be called upon unless the situation was dire. She stood as tall as fifty men stacked on top of one another, and she moved faster than the speed of light. She was here and there and everywhere; only to be heard within the whispers of the wind. And untouchable force of nature though there was one that she allowed in her space, and he still was not Lea's Hermes. And it was a good thing that she was a goddess because Lea was sure that they would never find her size at a Big and Tall Store.
She is Kaia; and the stars lived upon her skin. The heavenly bodies were hers to command, and the raging seas were hers to live within, and the sleeping death were hers to control. She was kind and forgiving and she was jealous and wrathful; she was everything and she was nothing. She was a creator and destroyer. An endurer and a fighter. She was a Queen, a being of nature, a force uncontrollable by the will of man. And though a Queen was much better off without a King, there was only one whom she wished to share her crown. Only one that could lay claim to her heart, and seas and the winds sang within his veins. Her friend. Her lover. Her person that was not Hermes. Lea was starting to get a little sick of this shit, though she had to admit that she was loving the dress. It was fitted and baggy just the way she liked it, but it was nothing like those old fashion upper class dresses with corsets and all that fluff.
It was hard for them to recognize the wild forces within until they were overwhelmed by their power.
Lea screeched as she landed in the middle of a lake, and as she swam upwards, she had to duck in the next second from an explosion soaring over her head.
It was just her luck to appear in the midst of a damn battle.
Alright, so maybe Ariadnê had been right about it not working out all that well. Good thing the girl was in another universe so she wasn't there to tell her "I told you so".
Absently, she took note of the latent abilities that she inherited from her Father keeping her from being soaked by the lake water. Attentively though, her gaze immediately landed on a person with her face and looking her age staring at her in confusion. "A secret sister too?"
Lea sighed deeply. "I swear to god. On Jesus Christ daddy. Not this again."
Strolling out of the water and automatically assuming her armor, she took note of how much similar this one look to her than Ariadnê did. Honestly, the only difference between the two of them was the tattoo on her forearm and her eyes... her eyes; they were...
The girl's blue eyes flash with something that made the hair on the back of Lea's neck rise. And then she smiled lightly, a little flash of her teeth, and her eyes... oh her eyes... They were—She had the skies and ocean in her eyes—the heavens and the earth. The light and clouds and seas, everything and the void, they all show themselves in the celestite carved and polished to make up her irises. She had that impossible hue the gods mixed themselves with sanctity and their creation. The eyes that are written in sonnets, spoken of in decades to pass, debated on by the meaning of each emotion reflected within. The kind of blue eyes that were one bad tide away from a sudden maelstrom.
She winked at her.
Leaneíras decided right then and there that she hated this bitch.
Even if she did have her face.
"This is great news," some gigantic playdoh creature laughed as he looked at Lea. How did Lea miss that? "There are two of you. My brother and I can both have a bride."
"Ew." Lea recoiled in disgust. "Do I look desperate to you! I wouldn't touch you in a game of tag. Seek help."
The girl laughed in amusement, running up the giant's arm to the point that the shoulder connected and stabbed down ferociously. The giant screamed in pain. She flipped off his body, twisting through the air to land at Lea's side. "You. I like you a lot more than the boy. Tell me. Are you just as strong as us though? What are your powers?"
"You are very mean," the giant snarled down at them. "I will have to remember to train that out of you."
The girl sniffed, turning her nose up. "Train me? Please. You would never have the chance. Hmp. You look like you snuck onto the earth, and you have the audacity to think that you were worthy enough to have me?"
"No seriously, she's right," Lea nodded. "You look like some hills have eyes version of playdoh. I wouldn't want you if we were the last two people on earth and the gods put an AR 15 with a hundred round drum to my head telling me to repopulate with you."
The girl turned to her. "Yes, I like you very much. You remind me of my brother."
"Funny," Lea stated dryly. "I could say the same thing about you."
"What is your name?" the girl asked as the two of them dodged the giants' feet. "My name is Livia."
"Leaneira."
"Cool. Anything that can get rid of this freak? I assume that you have some kind of power since you just teleported into our lake."
Cackling something wild and unrestrained and just the slightest bit unhinged, Lea nodded her. "Oh man yeah. I do have a few powers. I call this one my 'I'm about the fuck out of you' technique. I haven't used this since my Alabaster is a fake ass bitch era." Around her hands, her mageia curled around her fingers and snaked up her wrists. It was a new spell that she hadn't actually used when battling Alabaster; at least from what she could remember of that fight through the shades of green. The lake behind them bubbled and boiled as her mageia sank into the land and the waters, reaching deep into the depths of the sea that even she hadn't explored the few times that her Father invited her and Percy down there.
And then...
"Oh, my gods, is that a yellow-bellied sea snake?" Livia gasped as she flew around the air on top of two mini tornadoes. Hmp. Someone certainly took after the storm part of their powers.
Lea nodded smugly. "This is a bit different though." She teleported out of the way of a giant foot. If this was world was similar to hers then... "This is an offspring of the Trojan Sea monster and a regular yellow-bellied sea snake." Swiping her hand towards the giant, she smiled. "Serpent Bind." Her mageia flared around the beast as she shot it towards Jack's hated nemesis. "The spell goes deep into the depths of the sea touching the ocean's floor and grabs hold of the strongest sea monster near it. This one in particular will wrap around its victim and there's enough venom in just one of its fangs to put the entire North American Continent on the freeway to Haides!"
Lea cackled again, her hand reaching out for the other giant that she could see running around. Her mageia coated its body as she slammed it into its friend. The snake hissed, letting the giant go, but then Livia whistled loudly. Tentacles shot out of the lake, and Lea stepped back as a monstrous animal emerged from it. "Is that a Stygiomedusa?"
Livia smiled smugly, mimicking Lea's earlier expression. "A gift from Father for my sixteenth birthday."
Lea felt something in her jolt. How old was she now with all these different lives that she lived?
"You," the giant that she treated like a war hammer stated as he sat up. He placed his beady little eyes on Lea. "Who are you?"
"Ya mama."
Both of the giants' eyes darkened. "Hippólutos, why have you not destroyed this one yet?"
"I was going to make her my consort, but it seems better to just kill her."
Leaneíras scoffed, throwing them back with another blast of mageia. The two of them landed back into the holds of the sea animals. "Bitch please, I wouldn't fuck you with somebody else pussy!" Thundering feet caught her attention, and Lea was startled to see Percy there. Considering that this looked nothing like Camp Half-Blood and the parts that weren't turned into rubble and ashes looked like Medea's city-camp, she guessed that Percy was roman? in this world. It was a bit confusing.
"A secret sister too?"
"That's what I said," Livia grumbled before the realization came over her that if Percy didn't know her and Livia didn't know her, then where the hell did she come from and just how many kids did Sally Jackson abandon for her precious little boy.
Lea ignored them both, turning back to the giants. "I suppose you guys are the ones that MILF Mama G was raising while we were off kicking titan ass."
"None of those words are in the bible." Someone said.
"I'm an atheist." She said automatically. Shaking her head, she turned back towards the giants. "You should really leave. Things will get as ugly as you if you keep pushing my buttons."
"What can a puny thing like you do to me? I am Polyvotis, the son of Gaía! The bane of Neptūnus! In olden times, I rose from Tartara, the abyss of my father, to challenge the gods."
How the hell did a planet have an arch nemesis?
"Blah, blah, blah. You done boasting?" Lea mocked, allowing her mageia to manifest around her. "I am Leaneíras Jackson, Daughter of Poseidon Aigaion, the Khaos-Blessed of Hērmês Maiados Huios, and earth-shaking Perseus that bares a brave heart is my brother. I am the Twice-Blessed Enchantress. I have been baptized in the tears of my enemies. And their children's children fear my name."
"You cannot defeat me. You need a god to ackkkk..."
"Mhm," Lea hummed, stabbing him through the throat with another tendril of mageia. "The last time someone claimed that I couldn't beat them up... I left them hanging from the Statue of Liberty with their thong out. But hey, if you want to get jumped..." A dark smile curled upon her lips, her eyes glowing green. Her skin peeled away like flakes, dropping to the ground where it began to morph. Around her, hundreds and thousands and millions of illusions of herself surrounded them. Some shifted into different animals, others into different people. Some levitated in the air while others teleported from left to right. Some held blasts of mageia around their hands like energy blasts while others manipulated the closest water source to them. Some held daggers, others held staffs.
Lævateinn gleamed in her hand, pulsing with her mageia as she peeked beneath her bangs so the only thing that could be seen was the greens of her eyes. "Let's get active."

COMMENTS FROM THE AUTHOR:
1) Welcome to the Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams! aka Lea meets another sister!
2) Again, since I'm writing overpressure out of order... I've written the ARGO 2 attack scene, the battle at Charleston, added a scene that wasn't in the original (Well i added a couple of scenes that weren't in the original tbh) and i'm in the process of writing the battle(s) at CHB.
3) I spent most of my day at work making a spreadsheet to track my writing. Very proud of it. I might even think about NaNoWriMo for one of them. I don't know yet.
4) I'm looking at about 125-130 chapters. Probably less than that because these scenes in HoH; not including the Tartara parts, were really Rick trying to meet his word count lmfaooo. Like a 5-10 minute conversation with Hekátē took up all of Hazel's first few chapters. And it's also less because this is not in any of their povs, but it's going to be broken down to account for Lea's parts. And um, I get real mean to Piper at one point so like... if you're a fan, just leave now. And I am sorry.
5) I'm so excited about this arc because I'm ready to post these scenes. Drew and Medea go dumb! I keep reediting and reading them because I want them to be nothing short of perfect. Like... oh em gee. And we're about to hit a plot point that i've mentioned like once or twice, but its building into a crescendo now.
