In a village of 12 families, everyone knows everyone. Little sisters gossip about older brothers, teen girls chat about crushes, and rumors spread quickly.
Each family has a mythological patron. 12 houses for 12 Greek Gods and Goddesses. You know the spiel.
But when a rumor of Demeter's patron family, more specifically their oldest daughter, starts up, more than just the village knows of it. Towns over, cities three hours away know of this quaint village girl, remarkable in the fact that she...
Got chosen.
None of the children from the village of Athens have ever gone to the ceremony. Maybe as a guest, a visitor or as an audience member. But for a girl of her stature, background, and talent, she's far from the most impressive teen there. To be front and center is merely a child's dream.
Make no mistake, come Friday morning...
"Kore Blythe Nikolaidis, age 15, from Athens!"
The village is surprised, confused, and frankly a little jealous. How? Why?
And, more specifically,
Where did she go?

The gods are only human. | Hestia is known as the virgin goddess of the hearth, architecture, domesticity, family, the home and the state.

Now imagine if all the other gods and goddesses came to her doorstep whenever they had problems. Imagine if she was the go-to girl because of her calm and nurturing nature. Imagine the words she'd have with her philandering brother, or the conversations she'd share with her nieces and nephews. Imagine what it's like at the fireside.Complete

It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her.

Hearth's Home
It was suppose to be regulare Winter Solstice. The first one after the second war. The usual boring meeting of the gods that was to take place. The event to happen after was what many gods, satyrs, nymphs and demigods looked forward to. The party that would be hosted on Olympus. All Olympians were together. Some of the demigod children were also in the throne room talking amongst themselves, ironically most argued with the children of the gods their parents were arguing with. Though it all came to a halt when Hestia stood up and walked through a door that appeared in the middle of the throne room. Worried for their sister/aunt the other Olympians followed. The demigods that were also in the room followed suit. They were all greeted by the sight of a simple hearth inside a rustic looking home. A little girl whose form seemed to shift. Though their attention was drawn to the young male who was adding a log to the fire before he noticed them. "Ah, come take a seat. Welcome to the Hearth's Home." Came a warm greeting from the male. Without noticing they all put their weapons away.
