The Eleven Warriors of Olympus (book one: The Titan of Darkness)

Chapter One

Chapter One: Kya Elune 

One dark and blizarding night, on July 24th, a young woman was running through the snow and the harsh, cold wind. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if a storm was expected. The nearby ocean was churning up to the shore with anger. The woman was carrying a small blue bundle. Looking at the bundle, it was a small baby, all cudled up and asleep in the woman's warm arms. A piercing shout was heard all around the area. The woman cocked her head up into the sky and yelled, "Ha! More beautiful than me, eh? We'll see! Your own daughter will pay for your incompitence!" She sprinted even further. From a close distance, she could see a majestic palace standing in the middle of the cruel snow. "Perfect" the woman smiled evily. "I thought so. HE is really perfect from the start" and ran closer to the palace gates. She laughed coldly and regarded that she's near the palace. 

A guard was on duty that night. He saw a small figure running towards the palace. He squinted his eyes and saw the woman running towards him. He thought that she was an intruder. "Halt!," he ordered. "Who goes there?"

The woman took her hood off and revealed her face. The guard was completely awestruck. He cannot remember what his name was or where he is. Standing before him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He cannot decide what she looked like. He cannot even decide her eye color or her hair, but it was getting to his idea of beauty, like she was reaching to his thoughts. She was really and naturally beautiful. She was dressed in a simple knee-length white Greek Chiton and golden laced sandals. Her lips were blood red and she had the perfect make-up. But, only one thing was unnatural about her; she had a pinkish aura surrounding her. 

Before the guard could return to his senses, the woman lifted her hand upon the guard's face and released a white light from the palm of her hand. For a moment, the guard was in a trance. "You will forget that you have seen me." she ordered and the guard only nodded. The woman gave him the baby. "Take THAT child to the King" she pointed at the baby as if it was a piece of trash to be taken out. " and tell him that she was left here at the palace gates and saw no one. Also, give him the note pinned on her blanket. Go!" she ordered. The guard spun around and went inside the palace. When the guard was gone, the woman smiled evily again. "You have done well, Aphrodite" A voice spoke out of nowhere.

Aphrodite didn't looked troubled. She folded her arms to her chest and scowled. 

"I know I have done my job well, disposing of that insignificant brat of theirs"

the voice laughed manically. "You will be rewarded greatly. Now, go back to Olympus. They will not notice your,ah, sudden absence" it said.

Aphrodite only nodded. Her body glowed and vanished, taking with her the voice of evil.

In the meantime, the guard entered the throne room, breathing heavily. Behind the throne is an indoor waterfall that fell cascadingly. The floor is made out of solid blue obsidian rock and marble pillars held the ceeling. Sitting on his throne of silver and marble is King Okinawa. The guard knelt. Okinawa has ocean-blue eyes and long black hair that almost touched his shoulders. 

"What is it, Mundre?" he asked. Mundre stood up as he cradled the baby into his arms. The king noticed the baby. "And whose child is that?" 

"Someone left her at the gates, your highness. I did not see who did" Mundre told him. Okinawa only nodded, stood up and walked towards Mundre. Mundre gave Okinawa the child and the king carried her onto his arms. The baby was finally awake, gurgling. She has sea-green eyes that turned ocean-blue when light reflects it and pale ivory skin. What caught Okinawa's attention was the blue aura that surrounds her and a trident tattoo on her left wrist. Then, he noticed a note pined on her blanket. He began to read it;
