Perseus, The First Eclipse

Chapter 1: The Sun, The Moon, The Eclipse

'Screw... You... Hera!' Leto cried out in her head as the pain of child birth was practically unbearable at this point. Scream after scream, the pain only worsened for the Titaness as her first born was finally making its way out of the womb. Within a few seconds, the pain seemed to dial down, even if it was only a tiny beat, and a loud plop.

"Ow," a small feminine voice said from below her legs.

Leto watched as her red headed and silver eyed daughter dusted herself off. She was just born yet she already seem to be around the age of four.

"Bless... Accelerated... Aging," Leto said in between breaths.

"My brothers are being a little slow mother," her daughter said. "Do you possibly have any clothes for me to wear?"

Leto let out a small laugh as she was still in immense pain and pointed over to a bench that where two pairs of child clothing sat for a boy and a girl.

"I heard you say... brothers," Leto spoke up. "So it would seem that... we need to get... more clothes. Make a fire and send... a prayer to Hestia."

Her daughter nodded and quickly ran around gathering what wood she could.

"Thank you Artemis," Leto said after she let loose a small scream. It seemed like her second child was ready to escape.

Artemis saw her mother in pain, but Leto insisted she call Hestia before coming to help her. After a few seconds of quickly gathering wood, Artemis started a fire and sent a prayer to whoever Hestia was. Once she finished she headed over to her mother who was in even worse pain than before.

"W-What do I need to do?" Artemis asked.

"W-WATER!" She screamed. Artemis noticed a bucket by the bench and quickly rushed to grab some water. When she came back she looked in between the legs of her mother to see a head and three arms close to escaping.

'The two idiots are fighting already,' Artemis thought. After a few seconds of trying to guide out one of her brothers, Hestia appeared from the fire. After a quick introduction, she helped Artemis guide one her brothers out.

A blond boy with blue eyes was the first to escape while Leto happily called him Apollo before screaming due to her third child. Artemis helped him over to the bench where she cleaned him and gave him some of the clothes.

"I'm Artemis," she said.

"You're the one who kicked us back into that dark place!" Apollo said while pointing his finger. "That was a cheap shot."

"Maybe it's because boys just suck," Artemis replied with a shrug.

Apollo let a scowl grow across his face while Artemis laughed, but their attention was turned to Hestia who was walking the third born child over to them. He had pitch black, unruly hair and his eyes were where a darker blue than Apollo's.

"Meet your brother Perseus," Hestia spoke up.

"I'm Artemis!"

"I'm Apollo!"

Artemis handed him a third set of clothes, which Hestia brought with her, and the trio began to talk about whatever age to their minds. Being the children of a god and a titan, they aged much quicker than the average person and their knowledge surpass those far above their age. However, they were still in a foreign world and questioned their surroundings and who exactly this Hestia was.
