What do you consider a hero? Someone who saves every life possible? Someone who always does what right? The protagonist of a story? Someone who would never take a life no matter the reason? My point is, no one can agree on the definition of a hero. What one person considers a hero may not be what you consider a hero. So I say there is no such thing as a "true" hero. A true hero would ideally fall under all these categories. But that's impossible.
The story I intend to tell you is not a hero's story. Because I simply believe they can't exist. No. The story I intend to tell you is the story of people doing what they can for what they care about. Because that's the best you can get. I simply ask you lend me your ear and stick by me while I tell you this story. All you need is an open mind and some patience as this tale of gods, mortals and everything in between unfurls.

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.

*All Characters are based of off Homer's great work the Illiad You have heard my name before. I am the face that launched a thousand ships. The face that destroyed a city.

My life and outlook changed when I gave birth to my daughter Hermoine. Both Trojan princes were willing to sacrifice themselves to rescue my daughter and I. Taking us to Troy...

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
Omega, angel of Chaos. (PJO fanfic)
A story, according to google, is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. I don't tell people about my past, to many bad memories lurk there, and i don't really trust people either, but today i made an exception. Because today i tell my story. Every little, gruesome detail. Every tear shed. Every injury inflicted. I tell you. Just so you know the stories that end in happily ever after, they are the imaginary ones. But the stories that end in death and deceit, pain and loss, they are the real ones, people just don't like to admit it. I'll let you figure my story out though.Complete

DEVIL ONCE LIVED
PROLOGUE: Our lives are so convulated that we want something adventurous in life of our's. But, actually because of these convulated problems our life is adventurous somehow.

Nevertheless, we all are interested in making future great or adventurous at every cost. Today's world is full of people like this at maximum, causing something wrong to others atleast or say atlast?Complete
Indigo Eyes
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.)

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
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
