His Goddess ---L. Castellan

Seph

"Who's that?" someone murmured as I sat on the front porch of the 'Big House', sipping on a glass of non-alcoholic grape wine. It's been a few months since Percy informed me of what happened to him here at camp, and while I'm not as furious as I was before, rage still simmered beneath the surface. My eyes drifted to a particular group of people, consisting of a tall stocky blond in glasses, a black girl, a tall baby faced asian, an elvish latino, a chocolate-skinned girl with choppily cut brown hair and a blonde girl with gray eyes. I refrained from hurling the glass cup at her face, reminding myself that Dion would sulk if I broke one of the cups from his favorite set - though that would be so~ cute. I adjusted myself on my seat, crossing a leg over my knee. Today, my absurdly long hair was done in a simple braid and adorned with jewels from Uncle Hades' realm. I wore gold sandals and a gorgeous white dress with gold decorations. I was the epitome of beauty and grace as I stared down the demis like an empress. How dare these fools cause my brother pain?!

"Demigods!" Chiron called for attention, stamping his foot. I nursed my empty glass, glancing at Dion to refill my glass, which he did happily before sitting next to me, a proud smirk directed at his brothers, who'd escorted me here for some reason. They glowered at him, huffing angrily. Apollo and Hermes looked so cute with their cheeks all puffed up~!

The blonde female dog raised her hand as Chiron talked about our arrival. "Chiron, who's she?" I smirked at her glare. She must've remembered me from that IM she apparently did. Chiron spluttered, as he too didn't know who I was. I glanced at Ares who instantly jumped at the opportunity, he stood in front of me like he was some bodyguard and proclaimed - "She's my prized cousin of course!" he laughed boisterously, his nose in the air. I rolled my eyes.

Apollo shoved him away "If you're not gonna say it properly, let me do it" he cleared his throat "This gorgeous specimen is the Apple of Olympus' eye, the Prized daughter of the seas, Beauty personified, Queen and mother of Sirens, and our beloved cousin - Persephone! Goddess of loyalty, courage, ocean voyages, heroes, romance, beauty, passion, motherhood, sirens and the seas, Daughter of Poseidon and Aphrodite!"

Silence. I sipped out of the wine, moaning slightly at the pleasurable tingling of bubbles popping on my tongue. "What?!" I sighed blissfully, watching the confusion pass through the crowd. "Isn't there already a goddess named Persephone?" one of Athena's children asked nervously. It was a little boy, looked around six. He's so cute~. I felt my heart melt.

" 'Sephone's name is originally Kore," I said, placing the cup gently in Dion's outstretched hand. "We share the same name, but to avoid confusion just call me Adora" I smile. I saw the Athenian bitch pale "It's nice to meet y'all"

"If you're a god how come we're just knowing about you now? How come there's nothing documented about you?" Annabeth asked harshly. I rolled my eyes. "A couple of years after I was born, The General had someone kidnap me. I was playing hide-and-seek with my older siblings when a rogue cyclops knocked me unconscious and brought me to him. He ordered me locked in a cage, to await The Crooked One's revival." I said slowly "I was to conceive his heir when he did, a heir so powerful he could destroy the gods -"

"How would you be able to bear such a powerful heir?" I glared at her for interrupting "My father is one of the oldest gods, with frightening power and my mother was formed from the mixture of two primordials' essence - please tell me how on earth I won't be powerful and be able to bear a powerful heir for Kronos" she flushed red, her hands clenched.

"Anyway, at some point he changed his mind. It was recently, before my younger brother had come to camp. Apparently Kronos had refused me, despite not rising yet — he refused to mate with someone that wasn't his precious wife, Rhea. You'd think I'd be released by then, but no. Instead, I became a sort of reward to those that did well in the army. But I was usually Atlas' plaything" I let out a shaky breath "But someone was able to convince Atlas to leave me be. He hesitated but agreed to it, and gave me to the person as a gift of service. That's how I was able to return."

"Where is this person?" The baby-faced asian asked, curious. "Dead". Awkward silence filled the room. I rested my chin on my palm feeling bored of life - Why had I come here anyway?.

"Mom! You're here!" I smiled, catching my baby girl before she tripped on one of the loose wooden boards. "Hi baby" I cooed, kissing her forehead. She grinned, seating herself on the arm of my chair. The others look on, confused. "Aren't you a child of Hermes?" Annabeth growled. "My father is a child of Hermes - grandpa claimed me because mommy doesn't have a cabin yet" Andy chirped, munching on one of Dion's brownies. He glanced coldly at her, but said nothing.

"Ahem!" Chiron cleared his throat, bringing us back to the subject at hand - me. "Lady Perse - Adora is here to take over from Dionysus. She's our new Camp Director and Supervisor" Whoops were heard and I smiled.
