The Earth is her canvas to paint black with her unrelenting desires to cause mischief. Banned from Mount Olympus, Atë, the Goddess of Mischief and Ruin, wrecks unsuspecting havoc wherever she goes, with no one ever remembering she was there.

Atë's curiosity gets the better of her, wanting to figure out why a resurrected witch, able to wield monumental power, would need her help.

Amaurosis
[Nico di Angelo x OC] Completed! "A life for a life. So, I gave her half of mine." For twelve years, she has kept herself hidden, detached from the crowd, preventing any mingling as to protect them from the danger only she and few others knew existed. And for twelve years, he had sworn he would find her. He had sworn an unbreakable oath. He had sworn on the River Styx. He was the manifestation of her dreams--no, her nightmares--, but new allies have surfaced. She is not alone anymore. And they must do everything in their power, combined forces, to ensure not only their survival but the entire world's. However, it is kind of difficult to do that when the most important piece does not trust you. But why should he? She is a safe to which no one knows the code--the unknown, and people tend to fear the unknown. Nothing about her makes sense. But she can inflict the amaurosis. ☆ Disclaimer: I do not own any characters or places displayed in the Percy Jackson series nor the Heroes of Olympus series.

Ascension
In a modern world where ancient gods walk among mortals, the balance of power is disrupted when Zeus, the king of the olymyan gods, commits a heinous act: the rape and murder of Persephone, the beloved wife of Hades and queen of the underworld. Consumed by grief and rage, Hades, ruler of the underworld, embarks on a quest for vengeance against his brother Zeus. Leaving the confines of the underworld, Hades seeks allies among the gods, rallying them to his cause in a bid to overthrow Zeus and restore justice. As Hades traverses the mortal realm, he encounters allies and adversaries alike. Athena, goddess of wisdom, joins his cause, appalled by Zeus's actions and eager to see justice served. However, not all gods are swayed by Hades's call to arms. Some remain loyal to Zeus, while others harbor their own agendas, complicating Hades's mission. Amidst the turmoil, mortals become unwitting pawns in the gods' power struggle. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, Hades must navigate treacherous waters to confront Zeus and avenge the death of Persephone. But in a world where gods play by their own rules, the outcome of Hades's quest remains uncertain, and the fate of both mortals and immortals hangs in the balance.Complete

The Myth of Phaedra
Curiosity, never before had Phaedra considered how much trouble she could get into because of it. She never stopped to consider the consequences of asking questions, never thought the punishment could be so severe. But, in the town of Zaesria, something as simple as curiosity is the cause of her sorrows; or, it is when it involves questioning the gods. This is a myth I wrote for my mythology class :D it was supposed to be at least five microsoft pages long (and had no length limit) so what do I do? Write a FIFTY page myth, that's what (I couldn't help it, once I started writing I just couldn't stop!) Sooooooo this is the myth I turned in, and I just wanted to share it with you guys :) hope you enjoy!Complete
