SANITY; heroes of olympus

[act one; chapter fifteen     -     the remembrance]

Andromeda Storm was, after all, not born in Louisiana. She was born in the late night of July 7th, 1993 in a hidden place in California. Less than an hour later, Adonis Storm joined her, crying into the world.

The two children had been born into the Legion of Camp Jupiter, children of not just Rome, but Greece as well.

They were the children of a Greek god, Dionysus, and the children of a girl who was the daughter of the Roman god, Apollo. There had never been anyone like them before—both Greek and Roman, not just one or the other. They were truly, two of a kind.

The truth of it all was this: Gianna Storm would do anything it took to keep her children alive. So she left the life she once knew behind, as well as all of the people in it.

And that included her siblings, Cassia and Marcus. She had to let them go, and when she did, it resulted in the death of Marcus, and the abandonment of Cassia.

The original Storm siblings were a thing of the past.

The memories of it all—leaving at the night's peak, trying to escape the hands of Fate to a place where they could just be. Beu Kāne had been tasked with taking little Donnie to his grandmother's house, all while Gianna took Andromeda to Luisiana.

The girl was stubborn, just as she would be when she grew older. Kicking and hitting at her mother, she cried, "NO! I want Little Bean! Let go!"

But Gianna couldn't relent. She carried her little girl in her arms, shushing her as they separated from the boys.

If only they knew, at that time, it would be the last time Adonis Storm saw his mother alive.

After days of travelling, trying to stay alive, they finally reached their destination in the form of a small, cottage style house.
