The Grecian Seven

Prologue

Olympian Academy is a renowned Academy in Athens. It is a compilation of ancient Greek-style buildings that sit to the west of the Parthenon. The architecture of the academy is interesting due to the age of each building and the style of the layout. This typically would not raise any eyebrows considering how normal the school sounds thus far; this however all changes with the students, who attend the prestigious academy, for they are what make Olympian Academy especially interesting.

Olympian Academy has three types of students: pure-bloods, half-bloods, and clear-sighted mortals. All of the students are in some way descendants of Grecian warriors. The pure-bloods can trace their family trees all the way to the ancient warriors they are a descendants of. The half-bloods are indirectly related to ancient warriors. And the clear-sighted mortals are able to see minute things in the world that regular mortals miss. For example, they could be seers or gypsies and see the aura of warriors and, by extension, the little bit of godly blood within some of the stronger warriors who are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Gods. All of these students are identified because they're causing "trouble", taking part in special advanced learning programs, or "hallucinating".

Due to the modern age where everyone relies on computers and phones instead of good message runners or parchment, Olympian Academy teaches its students history, music, art, medicine, and how to protect themselves from "mythical" monsters. One might say that mythical monsters do not exist. Hence they are mythical. But the monsters are very much real. Take the Percy Jackson books, for example. These were written by a clear-sighted mortal. Each monster is real, just like the Gods. The mortals are just unable to see the ancient world due to cultural pollution.

Achilles Yixon, a respectable man in the community and well known as the Headmaster of Olympian Academy, School of Heroes and Heroines. Achilles was sitting in his stone seat facing the empty mess hall that, in mere hours, would be filled with students ready to start training. As he gazed out, he thought about the quiet three years that Greece had experienced since Nemesis fled.

Nemesis. The name tasted foul as he muttered it to himself. Nemesis was a previous student at Olympian Academy. She was a star pupil, and she was destined for greatness. Be it bad or good, no one knew. That is, until fifteen years ago when she banded together a group of highly skilled warriors and started spreading fear and terror. Thirteen years ago, Achilles ran a legion, with warriors of all types. These warriors were the best in the Academy, and they fought Nemesis and her Immortal Rhamnousia bravely. The legion began with 300 men; by the time of victory, only 170 of them survived. This legion had masters of doru and sarissae, toxa, akontia, sfendonai, and xiphos. It was times like this that Achilles wished his students would arrive to distract him from the loss of his friends and family.
