Zeus

Zeus was allotted the dominion of the sky,having waged war against Kronos and the other Titans. Zeus caused the Trojan war,so that the load of death might empty the world. Zeus got the thunderbolt,his ultimate weapon,made by the cyclopes. Both Gaia and Uranus foretold Kronos that he would be dethroned by his own sons. To avoid this sad fate,he swwallow his children at birth. This bizarre behavior,however,enraged his wife Rhea,who being pregnant with Zeus,went to Crete and gave birth to him in a cave of Dicte. In the meantime,Rhea wrapped a stone in clothes and gave it to Kronos to swallow,as if it was the newborn child. This is how Kronos,the second ruler of the universe,was deceived. Amalthea was one of Zeus's nurses. She was a naiad,famous in the Cretan Mount Ida,who nursed Zeus when the newborn god had to be concealed and protected from his father Kronos,who,out of fear asked metis to against his father,and she gave Kronos a drug that forced him to disgorge the stone and the children he had swallowed. And with the aid of his brothers and sisters,Zeus waged war against Kronos and the Titans,and being victorious,Zeus became the ruler of heaven. Metis turned into many shapes to avoid Zeus's embraces,but she neverthless became his first wife.

Curse Of Achilles

The curse is named after Achilles,the Ancient Greek Hero,who was famous for his invulnerability. When one bathes in the Styx,they will be granted the power to remain uninjured by any means. They must get their parent's blessing. When one bathes in it, the person must envision one thing that ties them to the living. They also must imagine a single spot on their body with a rope tying them to the mortal plane. If they do not do this, they will turn into ash. Though not proven, the thing a person usually envisions is someone often close. An example of this is when Percy Jackson bathes in the styx,he envisioned Annabeth Chase,the girl he loves. The most obvious weakness is the mortal spot the person chooses,as it remains the only place that can be injured. Should this spot be injured,it's generally fatal.

The Great Prophecy

Zeus Has just gotten a huge prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi. The prophecy says that one of the "big three" would have a child that would protect or destroy Olympus on their sixteenth birthday. Zeus was a kind of guy that took precautions so that the risk was non-existent. He wasn't sure about his brothers, so he called a meeting. He was going to force his brothers never to have children again.

When Poseidon arrived,he knew what was going to happen.He understood why, but he was hesitant to agree such promise.

Hades,on the other hand,was feeling sorrowful. He knew Zeus would have all the existing children of the three sent to Camp Half-Blood.He was angry at his brother,Zeus, was forcing him into this pact. Reluctanly,Hades took his place in the counsel. He and Poseidon vaguely listen to their brother explain why they were making this pact.Zeus concluded that their children were too powerful.He felt that it was the exact reason why they shouldn't have any more children. Zeus managed to persuade his brothers to swear upon River Styx never to have children again.

About two months later,in seattle,washington,a baby girl with dark hair and sea-green eyes was born. Her name was Andrea Mitchell and it was Poseidon's child.This child could very well be the child of the prophecy.

Around the same time,another girl was born. She was born in New York. Her hair was brunette in colour.Her eyes were startling electric blue. This child was named Nicole Jacob as well as Zeus child.

Andrea Mitchell and Nicole Jacob had similar fates. They both could be the child of the great prophecy. Unfortunately,only one was destined to uphold the propecy. And that was a never good thing to begin with.
