'when the mists begin to settle over the west,
there shall come a need for heroes to rise.
for from this mist shall spring an evil,
that the world cannot spare itself from.'
there shall come a need for heroes to rise.
for from this mist shall spring an evil,
that the world cannot spare itself from.'
when the oracle gave her prophecy to the great gods of mount olympus in the year 880, nobody was sure of what to do. for even with their mystical powers that made them greater than common mortals, they were not quite clever enough to solve the riddle and explain what was to come. even clever athena was dumbfounded, for none of her answers were terrible enough for what the oracle claimed would befall the earth. in their haste to discover the truth, zeus called together the three greatest cultures of the world in the hopes that together, they could unravel the mystery. but as the gods of greece, rome and egypt all gathered for their conference, the oracle made yet another prophecy.[/size]'there shall come a child who bears ill will,
and seeks to rise the ancient army of darkness.
should the army rise, the world shall crumble,
and all humanity shall be lost in shadow.
only with the birth of one half-mortal,
shall the world be safe from the harms of the dark one.
and with them shall come a hundred more,
to do battle for the right to save or rule the ancient world.'
now warned that there was at least one who would be chosen above all others to save the world that would not be immortal, the gods brought together all of their half-mortal children and tried to keep them safe from harm. but somehow death followed, and many of them were killed before it was determined whether or not they were the one spoken of in the oracle's prophecy. afraid of the coming prophecy, for which no timeline was given, the gods continued to try and protect their children, creating more then they ever had before.
but now, in the year 2010, they fear that the time is fast approaching. in one last effort to spare more of their children from early graves, the gods have banded together and created a school in new york, one not too far from the city, where they keep all of their children from the age of thirteen on. here, they are kept under a watchful eye and trained to use the skills handed to them by their immortal parents....each waiting to see whom the traitor shall be, and who will be destined to save them from the army of darkness.
