Prologue/Intro
My character came from a mix of the goddess Iris and the god Apollo, when his twin sister (Artemis) heard that they had a baby, she was furious, so to represent the greed of the two, she turned the baby into a coin to show the similarity of greed and selfishness in money. Apollo pleaded his sister to turn the baby back, but since he had done wrong without her approval, she said no. After years of pleading she finally gave way and gave them a hint, on the coin she put his face on it, and wrote a hint on how to get their child back. It said in Greek,
"When the time comes of storm and light, say thy name of request, and out shall come right"
They soon figured out that it said to go to a rainbow after a storm and to say their name of their child, when they did this, they not only got their child back, they invented a new way of communication to the gods on Mt. Olympus. Then a new prophecy was set up to easily remember it.
"When time comes of storm and light, pay thy messenger and for you shall receive the name of one's self.''
Soon their child and Iris (to set up the rainbow) set up a way pf communication between all gods, if you find a rainbow, simply throw in a drachma (doesn't matter if it has engravings or faces on it) to pay the messenger (the messenger is Chrimata because ring from a coin, he got the work of finding the person requested, but he usually paid his mom b/c she was the one to set up the rainbow, he only got part of the profit) say the name of the person wanted to speak with, and he will go and find the person requested. (their face will appear in the rainbow) In the end Iris got most of the resignation of finding the way to communicate, but really had help along with their child.
