In Sumerian Mythology, Nergal is the God of the Underworld, he ruled with his wife Ereshkigal, all was fine at first, then it got stale, the God's eyes started to wonder and he had many short extra marriage affairs, none where long enough to catch his wife's attention.
Then he met her, Ninshubur. She was the Sumerian Goddess of Servants, and a handmaiden herself to the Goddess Inanna.
Nergal chased Ninshubur until she gave in and a relationship began, which lasted many centuries, Ereshkigal not being the wiser, that was until Ninshubur fell pregnant.
Clearly, Nergal couldn't hide a pregnancy and wouldn't force Ninshubur to raise a child by herself, they announced the pregnancy together, while Ereshkigal held tears in her eyes.
The next meeting of the Sumerian Gods, it was decided that Nergal would raise the child with his wife Ereshkigal, and Ninshubur would continue her duties, and they could work out amongst themselves the schedule of when Ninshubur saw the child.
Nine long months passed and Ninshubur gave birth to a daughter, Lyssandra. She was named the Princess of the Underworld and named the Sumerian Goddess of Darkness and Monsters.
Being raised in the Underworld did have some perks though, the Underworld was a safe haven for monsters, which her father reined over.
There was a school system built, where monsters would feel free and safe to be themselves all while getting one hell of a education.
It just so happened that her father enrolled her in this school, after all she was "Daddy's Little Monster."
Lyssandra made friends with a lot of the monster children, knowing she'd be Queen of the Underworld one day, she figured she'd make those relationships now.
Her first relationship ever was with Deuce Gorgon. Son of Medusa and Poseidon.
They had dated from tenth grade until senior year. Deuce had opted to return to his Greek roots under the assistance of Zeus. Long distance didn't really work for them. Sure, Lyssandra had suitors, but no one really piqued her interests the way Deuce had.
She often found herself missing her high school years. She was in a very tight friend group with Draculaura, a vampire who was the daughter of Dracula. Clawdeen Wolf, a werewolf and Frankie Stein, the daughter of Frankenstein, whom had just recently moved to the Underworld when they started high school.
Unfortunately, her first year of high school, freshman year, she found herself in a problem.
~ FRESHMAN YEAR ~
Even though she's the princess of the realm, she always tried to keep her head down and stay out of everyone's way, although no one would question the princess.
She got along very well with her roommates, Frankie, Draculaura and Clawdeen.
There was a new teacher starting that year called Mr. Komos. Lyssandra liked him enough, he'd assigned them a project to do a report on someone important within the realm, and while most chose her father or Draculaura's father, she wanted to do something more practical.
The girls found a monster, who was the only student to be kicked out of school, he was hunted and arrested then eventually executed for his crimes.
This man had a lab, he was using it in secret to create many different potions, it was left alone for centuries until the four girls and a few other students had found it.
"Wow. Do you guys care if I create just one tiny little explosion?" Frankie asks with a giant smile.
Deuce looked her up and down, wondering if she was sane.
