CROWN OF ETERNITY | a blood of zeus fanfiction
NOTE : YOU CAN STILL READ THEM IF YOU DONT WATCH NETFLIX BLOOD OF ZEUS Kassia and Apollo were distant figures, exchanging only fleeting glances and casual acknowledgments. They existed in their own orbits, seemingly unaffected by each other's presence. However, everything changed when a prophecy, spoken by the Fates themselves, altered the course of their lives. Zeus and Themis, adding another daughter to their divine family, brought forth Kassia, a goddess embodying Humanity, Protection, and Power. She became a patron to queens and children alike, her influence extending far beyond her initial sphere. This prophecy didn't just hint at a change; it promised a revolution. Kassia, with her unique blend of virtues, was destined to play a pivotal role in Olympus's salvation. And beside her, Apollo, once indifferent, now found himself tasked with making this prophecy a reality. Their journey was not just about fate; it was about embracing the challenges of a changing world, where ancient powers met contemporary struggles, and where unity was the key to overcoming even the greatest of trials.

Olympus
This is the story of a group of young and powerful demigods banding together against formidable opponents, challenging obstacles and even each other. Follow Nathan Branton and his friends as they discover the truth of his father's identity. This story takes place in modern times and the so called Greek Myths of the past aren't so mythical. I'm aware that Percy Jackson exists and I used it as a massive inspiration for this story among other things.Complete
Hope for the Underworld
'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone. Though some may argue it wasn't a love story at all... I disagree... Cover by AI Updated twice a week.Complete
