Long ago a great war was unleashed between the world's factions, a war of greed and hate. With an unexpected twist of fate an ancient evil would awaken to mark an age of calamity. Forcing each of the world's factions to discard their prides, acknowledging what was coming would affect everyone. They formed an alliance, with the best chosen among their Elders. Six heroes that would later be know as the world's protecters. A war against a being of despair and malice, was not in the capacity of a mortal. A legend of this ancient battle recited that these six heroes could not defeat the calamity, only imprison it for 5000 years. Such a close defeat of humanity, a heavenly spirit fell and gave the grace of immortality to the six. With the condition of being reincarnated every millenia to keep guard. Yet this legend provided an extra yet more interesting passage, it spoke of a greater hero being blessed into existence. Fate begins to pace, 5000 years have accumulated since. The same calamity that threatened the past will once again ascend.

He later gains knowledge of his unique being when he is forced into a battle of life and death against an unknown threat. Following these strange events, a secret organization seeks the boy's help for they believe he is the hero the legend spoke of. The story follows Alaricus in discovering who he truly is. For the world will need him if it wishes to survive.

DIVINE - A Persephone And Hades Retelling
"I've told you, Hades, I can not become your mistress." she sadly told him. She had always lived in her mother's shadow, and if she followed Hades, she would once again be living in another's shadow. Even though she loved him, she did not think she could stomach it. "I do not want you to be my mistress, Persephone, I want you to be my queen," he confessed to her. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes, searching for any sign he wanted to take his words back, but there was no remorse. And just like that, she fell ever so slightly more in love with him. "Your queen?" she asked, she had to be sure. Strangely the word had slid off her tongue gracefully as if it had belonged there. "Yes, become my queen," he told her once again, taking back the step she had taken. "Rule besides me as the goddess of spring and the Underworld." The words don't seem to make sense in her mind. --- Further description in the book --- #1 - MYTH RETELLING (as of October 1st, 2021) #1 - GODDESS OF SPRING (as of Nov 23rd, 2021) #1 - HADES TOWN (as of Jan 13th, 2022) #1 - HADES AND PERSEPHONE (as of Feb 9th, 2022) #1 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY (as of March 29th, 2022) #1 - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 4th, 2022) #1 - PERSEPHONE AND HADES (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of Dec 22, 2022) #2 - HECATE (as of Nov 4th, 2021) #2 - DEMETER (as of Jan 29th, 2022) #2 - KING AND QUEEN (as of Feb 21st, 2022) #2 - PERSEPHONE (as of Sep 20th, 2023) #3 - GREEK MYTH (as of May 6th, 2022) #4 - MYTH (as of April 21th, 2022) #4 - RETELLING (as of May 10th, 2022) #4 - UNDERWORLD (as of 26th, 2023) #6 - HADES (as of April 8th, 2022) #6 - DIVINE (as of May 6th, 2022) #41 - OLYMPIANS (as of Feb 9th, 2021) #55 - GREEK (as of May 8th, 2022) #61 - OLYMPUS (as of May 8th, 2022)Complete

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
King of the Gods: The Titanomachy
Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life-simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I'm standing before her-Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn't ask. She didn't explain. She just chose me... and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades-the Greek god of the Underworld. You'd think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn't. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They're nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I'm a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me-you don't. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.Complete

I could give you a sob story about how tough Cressida Lynn's life has been, but you're not here for that. You're not here to hear about how terrible her mother treated her and how she only got her first birthday present at age nine or how no one outside her cabin liked her. No. You're here to hear about how her life changed the summer of her 12th birthday. The summer when Poseidon's son came crashing through the camp borders after he'd killed the Minotaur. You're here to hear about how they found the Lightning Thief. You're here to hear about how they ventured through the Sea of Monsters. You're here to hear about how they withstood the Titan's Curse. You're here to hear about how they fought in the Battle of the Labyrinth. You're here to hear about how they defended the Last Olympian. However, I must warn you that this journey is not for the faint-hearted for each quest is more treacherous than the last. And it is most certainly not for mortals. But, should you find yourself feeling brave, should you be a demigod in a past life, a present life or a future one, then I invite you to join me on this adventure. #1 in hades #1 in greekgodsandgoddesses #1 in lukecastellan #1 in titanwar #1 in dionysus #1 in pjofandom #4 in zeus #4 in seaofmonsters #9 in kronos #10 in labyrinth #12 in percyjacksonandtheolympians #17 in greekmythology #23 in annabethchase #36 in poseidon (Lightning Thief - Last Olympian) (Disclaimer: All rights go to the legendary Rick Riordan, I only own Cressida and any original scenes and dialogue I've written.)

Fourteen of the most influential deities electing champions to carry out their bidding, and potentially save the world. Only problem; not one champion appears to have a single clue what to do.

Then we have Nari, a troubled young lady who has spent the last month in an Illinois-rooted psychiatric facility. Or perhaps the saving grace of the group would be Cali, a young Chicano known for his charming looks and lack of manners. Perhaps the hope for humanity lies in the hands of Myrtle, a God-fearing Christian with a loud anxiety response and deep worry stemming from every sentence spoken to her.

The Terrors Saga
In the beginning, there was Chaos. And from Chaos and the Earth, Gaea, were born the first children: the Terrors. Beings of pure, primordial power, their very existence was a threat to the nascent order of the cosmos. Feared by their own parents, they were betrayed and sealed away in a timeless prison, their names erased from history, their vengeance sworn in the dark. Now, eons later, the machinations of the gods have unwittingly shattered their cages. The eleven Terrors-walking cataclysms who command earth, wind, fire, time, pain, doom and death itself-are free. They have returned to a world grown soft under the rule of upstart deities, and they intend to unmake it all. The Olympians, once mighty kings and queens of creation, are broken, their reign ended not by heroes or Titans, but by the vengeful return of their grandmother's firstborns. Forced into a desperate pact, they must now serve as advisors and heralds to these ancient forces, guiding their wrath toward the one enemy who threatens them all: Ouranos, the First Sky, who has returned to claim a silent, sterile cosmos under his sole dominion. As god and Terror alike maneuver for the coming war, an ancient prophecy echoes through the halls of fate, a grim promise of the bloodshed to come. This is not a story of heroes. This is the story of the end of ages. It is a tale of betrayed children, vengeful gods and fallen kings turned desperate pawns, and of a war that will break the sky, where the only choices are annihilation or subjugation to the oldest and most terrible powers ever born. #WattysAwards2026Complete
