For those who really don't know I have been running an rp that was originally called "Greek Mythology RP" and has only recently been renamed just plainly "Mythology".
Well we had a good 500 pages of posts from a bunch of great people and I didn't want all of it to go to waist. So I decided to change ALL (yes I said all) 500 pages into a type of fan-fic. Or is it the rp in book form? Hmmm . . . *shakes head* Either way here it is if you wanna read it ^^
If you feel like commenting on it then feel free ^^

Prologue-Chapter 4 (Teaser of Ch. 5) (Click to View)
Prologue-
The world is full of wonders and mysteries. Civilizations come and goes, each leaving something behind for future generations. The gods of ancient Greece, like many old gods, have left behind mortal beings for which their pure blood still courses through their veins.
However, in a time long forgotten, something is amiss as evil spreads like a plague. Now the descendants must aid their parents or calamity and strife will become the norm.
Chapter 1-
The sun rises as yet another day begins in the modern world. The sunlight breaks through the curtains and a single beam of light lands on a sleeping girl’s face. The warmth of the sun makes her stir and she gets up stretching, her mouth open wide in a gaping yawn.
Cali nervously walks towards “Burking Academy for the Gifted Youth.” Her foster parents had fought long and hard to get her into this boarding school, so like it or not Cali would have to make the best of it. Cali had been orphaned when she was just a baby, both her parent’s dying in a freak car accident. She was eventually adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham and moved to Greece about a year ago. Now being an orphan isn’t what makes Cali noticeable, it is her appearance that draws the eyes of anybody passing her. She has incredibly fair skin, almost to the point that she looks like a living porcelain doll. Her hair was also an odd color, as she dyed it in a light silver tone which caused her brown eyes to stand out greatly.
As she walked through the masses of students and other pedestrians her cold feet began to get worse with each progressing step. While attempting to get the courage up to finally head into the main building a voice calls out from the crowd. Shaken out of her nervousness Cali looks around and spots the one who had called her name. Even though Cali was new to the area doesn’t mean she didn’t have time to meet a few people. And it was one of those new friends that had called her name.
“Hey Cody, do you go to the same school?” Cody had bright reddish orange hair and a light tan, making his hair look even brighter than it naturally does. He smiled when he finally wedged his way through the onslaught of campus goers.
“Yup, but I’m not sure if I’m going to be in any of your classes so you might have to live without me,” Cali lowered her face and gave a playful smile as if she was saddened by the news. Cody was one of those few people that no matter who he met they seemed to warm up to him quickly, “Oh! Did you hear the latest news going around!? It seems that you aren’t the newest kid in school anymore.”
Cali’s eyes widened with the prospect of not being known as the new person on campus anymore. To be honest the idea of being the new person always bugged her for some reason, although she could never explain it. “So what’s his name?”
“His name is,” Cody scratched the back of his head as he pitifully tried to remember what the new persons name was. Unfortunately the biggest flaw Cody had was he had a terrible memory and it took him awhile to retain some things, “Well I can't remember. You know how I am with those kinds of things Cal.”
“Its okay Cody, after all it did take you four weeks to remember my first name.” Cali and Cody both smiled at the joke as they walked through the giant glass front doors to the boarding school.
Chapter 2-
The morning mass was all but over when the final bus had pulled up to its routine stop. The late comers and over sleepers rushed out in hopes of getting to class before the final bell rang. The bus driver looked into her rearview mirror and noticed that one of her teenage passengers hadn’t left yet.
“Hey son, you going to be late if yew don’ hurry now.” The boy got out of his seat and pulled the hood of his jacket over his head as he reached for his things. He quietly walked off the bus and then toward the school. The driver shook her head while the doors closed, thinking to herself how strange that boy had always been since he first got here.
And that was the way most people viewed Cain Abel. The morbid silent kid who hardly spoke and seemed to enjoy being all by himself; it didn’t help that his habits seemed to confirm the others suspicions. He always stood on the side wall during lunch, and didn’t have a lot of friends you would consider “close”. Even if Cain tried to make friends with people the reality was most wouldn’t. When he was still the new kid there had been a whole lot of rumors that his old man abandoned him and his mother had committed suicide because she was so depressed. Although no one knew much about Cain, the stories stuck.
Cain walked into the boarding school he has been attending. He heard rumors on the bus ride that some new person was going to arrive; people never seemed to think he was listening in on their conversations. The thought of someone new, someone who hadn’t yet heard the rumors about him caused him to grin.
Chapter 3-
The second hand ticked closer and closer and then with a loud buzz shook and rang. A hand jutted out from under the comforter and patted around the desktop in an attempt to shut the annoying thing off. Soon a head peaked out of the sheets and lazily glared at the alarm clock. In a few minutes the clock was off and Tarr hopped out of bed.
She set the clock down and went to make her bed. “What on earth? How’d so many feathers get in my bed?”
Tarr quickly scooped handful after handful of feathers from her bed into the trash bin as she made sure every single piece was gone. “One of my pillows must have ripped open when I was asleep.”
Tarr then shook her head as the idea of having to rummage through the house to find the old sewing kit her grandma had to fix the pillow. Pushing the thought out of her mind for the time Tarr dressed herself for school and dashed out the door, while simultaneously grabbing a piece of toast from the kitchen table.
After a good sprint Tarr made it to the boarding school as the first few buses arrived; one of the few benefits of living so close to the school you attend. Not even a few minutes after arriving Tarr was ready to turn around and head back home. School was mediocre to her and she hardly felt like she got challenged by the lessons given to her. Passing by a group of football stars her mind wandered to a fast approaching event she was completely unprepared for, the school dance.
“Man, it sucks that everyone has a date but me. If I had the chance I could blackmail one of the football players into taking me.” While her mind raced with wicked thoughts of blackmail she found herself trying to hide a grin. Deeply in thought Tarr didn’t or couldn’t see where she was headed and walked right into Cali.
Chapter 4-
Cali and Cody’s laughter is put to an end when Tarr unknowingly walks straight into Cali, “Hey!? Who pushed me?”
“Oh! Sorry Cali, I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
Cody watched as the two friends awkwardly apologized to each other. Soon all three were smiling and just enjoying themselves before the teachers ruined it. “Hey Tarr, thought you’d already be in class”
“Well . . . ummm . . . I was on my way.” She said with a small tint of red rushing into her face. While the group talked amongst each other the hairs on the back of Cali’s neck stood on end. She looked towards the door and spotted Cain walking to them.
“Hi Cain,” Cody walked over to Cain and offered a high-five. Cain looked at Cody’s hand. Cody slowly put it down in embarrassment and then walked off.
Finally the bell for call rings and students all around rush into their classes. Cali and her friends go into their class- Mythology. As each person takes their seat the teacher walks in front of her students and begins to write on the blackboard, letting out an ear shattering screech with each downward stroke. When we finished writing the letters everyone sighed in relief and then cringed as she made a long line underneath the words. It read ‘The Odyssey.’
“Class, for the next few weeks we will be reading and studying this classic Greek story. Now students take out your text books and turn to the opening page,” The teacher watched as her pupils took out the humongous school issued books and turning to the appropriate page. She then left the class to enter her little “cubicle” she had in the far corner.
Knowing the teacher couldn’t hear them unless they yelled out loud; the students looked up from the pages and began to quietly talk amongst each other.
“You got to be kidding me!” Christina shook her head when she heard that neither Cali nor Tarr had a date for the dance yet. She shook her head in disbelief, even though she herself didn’t have a date.
Chapter 5-
The buses finally arrive at their destination and the students run off to find and meet their friends so they can catch up on everything they did over the three day weekend. One of the first to get off the bus was a boy everyone knew as Grim. He is known as grim because of his unusual red eyes and his jet black hair. He also carried around a small wooden stick as if it was his very own scythe; which he had been sent to detention on numerous occasions because he refused to part with it.
He walked into the school fairly easily, since most of the others do all they can to avoid him. Grim looks around and the crowd of brightly colored shirts and shook his head, wondering how people could stand such bright colors and making others cringe as his red eyes stare at them. The time passes as he observes people, only stopping when the bell loudly echoes through the hallways.
