Lore & Legends

The uses of stories in civilised society in modern and ancient history are innumerable. From cautionary tales to the basis of national holidays stretching back millennia.
The legends and Lore in these pages has been kept alive only by those willing to keep it alive. Word of mouth and commitment to memory held these sentences and paragraphs together until we decided to make them more perminant. Placing them on stone tablets and scrawled on parchment because we believed them to be useful.
And perhaps I make myself redundant by saying we've gotten these down before, but it never hurts to make sure. After all, what's a piece of lore or legend without being read?

From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology
A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!

To Be A God (God of War Story)
"Mother!" I called out, hoping for an answer. The screams of my people filled my ears. I felt tears go down my face as I begged for her answer. "Calliope! Big sister!" I cried, racing to the temple where I last saw them. Suddenly, I heard the chains of my father's weapon rattle. "Father!" I screamed, racing to the entrance of the temple and my eyes widened as I saw the horrific sight: bodies of the monks I used to play around with were slain and I saw as the hand of my mother's fall onto the stone ground. My big sister's limply looking leg was barely visible from the entrance. My eyes widened as I realized what had happened. I stared as the culprit began to mourn them and I glanced at my father's weapon, soaked in the blood of his victims. I was in shock, unable to speak, afraid that my father may kill me just like he did Mother and Calliope. I slowly backed away and threw down the necklace that father had crafted for me for that was no longer my father but a merciless murderer with a cold heart. Kratos. ******************************* My name is Adoni of Sparta, daughter of the Spartan General Kratos and the beautiful and strong Lyssandra. I had a sister named Calliope but... They're gone. My father killed them, traumatizing his other daughter as she ran away from the scene, afraid of her father, afraid that he may kill her in cold blood. Luckily, I was saved by the gods and goddess of my home, who have molded me into a strong, beautiful, fearless, intelligent and talented warrior woman. One who is perfect to take revenge on her father. Strong enough to kill him if needed but intelligent enough to get the answer to the question I desired to ask him: "Why did he kill our family?" #1 Ranking in #Sparta
Children of Zeus || A PJO and HOO fan fiction.||
Y/N L/N was a regular child, what stood out was his personality, dark hair and vibrant blue eyes. Also the fact that he could never seem to stay out of trouble, and his almost superhuman strength. So one day when his small cabin in the woods is surrounded by women in sliver and an arrow nearly goes through his head, he freaks the hell out. PS (If you don't like the PJO series don't read the story man, sounds like common sense to me, or you just don't like my story in general.) PS TO THE PS ( I don't own PJO or the HOO series, that right belongs to Rick Riordian respectively.)Complete
The Mark of Athena
NOT REAL STORY AND ALL RIGHTS GO TO RICK RIORDAN: This is when they reunite. Percy Jackson and Jason Grace are here to make up the Prophecy of the Seven to defeat Gaea once and for all but not without a stop in Rome. The Doors need to be closed and Nico Di Angelo needs to be saved. The fate of the world rest upon their shoulders without the gods' help. All that including love problems, regular teenage angst, and a whole lot of near death experiences. (P.S. I have posted this story on FanFiction.net under the pen name of NataliaHallows so no copyright there.) ALSO: There are many, many grammar mistakes and I know that, but being me I'm not going back to edit bc that means I have to read my terrible writing from 2 years ago:-)Complete
Olympus' Biggest Mistake
The Olympian gods messed up, big time. They believed in false accusations about Percy and Zues feared his power would lead to a mutiny. Out of fear, mostly, Zues banished Percy to Tartarus to suffer. But not before an unlikely camper turned everyone against Percy and stole everything he held dear to him. It isn't until 30 years of peace later that they realize their mistake and find an impossibly powerful enemy to fight without their hero. What will happen when a prophecy about the downfall of Olympus appears and the campers aren't prepared for the coming war? I don't own Marvel, PJO, or HOO, all rights of characters and the books go to pimp daddy Rick Riordan and Marvel belongs to Marvel. #1 in Jack Frost as of 02/04/2021 #2 in Zoe as of 04/11/2021 #1 in Perlia as of 04/11/2021Complete
The Great Serpent, Jormungandr
This is a rewrite of the original Jormungandr's story , little more Mythologically accurate and no random bullshit. So let's begin... Loki the God of Tricks and Lies bore four children. Odin Lord of the Aesir was afraid...afraid of the Prophecy of Ragnarok and the Children's part to play in them. The first three born were taken, imprisoned and killed. The Fourth was born years later as a gift to the Alfather from Loki. Now centuries have passed, the Gods have died and gone to Valhalla...Ragnarok was thought to have been stopped with the death of Jormungandr. He was not dead...
Zelus (Perseus Reimagined) (BXB)
We all know the legendary tale of Perseus-the demigod, son of Zeus, and slayer of Medusa, the half-snake, half-human Gorgon. But what if I told you the story of Perseus isn't what you think? What if he didn't kill Medusa, marry Andromeda, or save her city from the Kraken? What if Perseus had a male lover from our time, the twenty-first century? Jonathan Hank, a troubled young man, can't seem to catch a break. His home is filled with misery, especially from his alcoholic father. He would've taken his own life if not for Alexander, his deceased boyfriend, who showed him that life has its bright moments. After a devastating incident at his younger sister Valerie's birthday party, Jonathan's father takes something precious from him-something that keeps the memory of Alexander alive. This loss drives Jonathan to a fateful encounter with a strange man, or perhaps something else entirely-an entity offering him a wish. A wish he never imagined he'd get, one he's longed for even before meeting Alexander. But is this stranger human? Or is there something darker at play?Complete
