The twelve Olympians, Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, Ares, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Dionysus, sat around a table.

"It will work," Zeus said, pounding his fist on the table intensely. "She will be the most powerful demigod to ever live."

"What if it's too much power for the poor girl to handle? It could make her life a living Tartarus," Artemis asked.

"It won't be. She'll be unstoppable!" Zeus exclaimed, getting more and more heated with every word he uttered.

The gods had to reluctantly agree to Zeus's plan. They didn't want him to kill them or anything. You know, it's always a risk these days. They each cut their hand and squeezed some blood into a bowl. Slowly, the bowl became full, with twelve different gods' blood.

Then, Zeus took Prometheus out of his eternal punishment. He unchained him from the rock and brought him to Mount Olympus.

Meanwhile, Hera wandered the streets of the mortal world, dressed as a poor old woman. She knocked on a blue house's door.

The door was opened up by a beautiful young woman. "Hello deary, can you help me? I just moved in next door, and I need some help," Hera said, in a low, raspy, smoker's voice.

Now, the woman probably should have known that there were no houses for sale anywhere near her, so the old lady had to be lying, but the woman wasn't the smartest.

"Oh sure, of course," the young woman said. She was around twenty five, with long brown hair and deep, caring, brown eyes. She was petite, around five foot three, with an extremely small waist.

"What is your name, dear?"

"I'm Lorraine," came the answer from the woman.

Lorraine let Hera lead her out of her house, unknowing that there was something else in store for her. She stepped down her front porch steps, and before she could move an inch more, Apollo and Hermes jumped out of the bushes and tackled her.

She fell to the floor and started to scream, but before she could fight back, they whisked her up to Mount Olympus.

With the two new guests, Zeus had everything he needed for his elaborate plan. Zeus cut the mortal's hand and made her bleed into the bowl.

Then he gave Prometheus the bowl. Prometheus made a human out of it, just like he did to make the first ones ever to be on Earth.

Zeus gave the baby to Lorraine. She looked just like a normal mortal, even though she was an extremely powerful demigod inside.

Zeus explained about the gods to the woman. Lorraine promised to take care of the girl and keep her out of danger. Well, more like Zeus threatened her with lightning, and Lorraine was forced to agree.

Hey! So this was just the beginning part. The rest of it is fourteen years later and in Electra's point of view. Please keep reading!
