History

Silvester Prescott, a playwrite living in Charlotte, North Carolina and working in a theater, was taking down decorations from a previous play done a few nights ago. A young woman with a pretty face came and offered to help him and as the two took the decorations down, they chatted and talked. The pair found that they had more than a couple things in common and they went to a small cafe across the street.There, the young woman told him who she really was; Aglaea, goddess of joy. It didn´t take long for Silvester to fall for the joyous goddess and soon a baby girl was born from their union. To Silvester´s dismay, the pretty and jubilant godess had left, leaving only one request: for the baby girl´s name to be Ophelia, after a character in the play Hamlet. Apart from the naming request, she left him a dagger that according to her was for "the time of need of the baby girl". Silvester cared for Vanessa and treated her as a princess for he was quite a rich man.The girl grew up in Charlotte and went to Miss Jane´s Academy. There, she was very popular since everyone just seemed happy to be in her presence, they also said she qas very pretty and "they'd like to have her prettiness". Vanessa also was good at making decorations sometging that just came naturally to her. She was also living proof to justify the quote, "diamonds are a girl's best friend", loving gems of all colors and sizes. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD but it didn't seem like it made her any less likeable, people, teachers and students alike just seemed to like her. At the age of 11, Silvester started talking to his daughter about Greek myths only he implied that they were somewhat real. He told her that she was related to one of them, a certain female godess of joy.

One day, at the age of 13, Vanessa was at home alone due to a funeral that her father was attending in a town two hours away. The young girl was trying to sleep but she heard snapping and crunching sounds coming from outside, so she went outside. She followed the loud chomping sounds to the forest behind her home when she saw a monster. It was a bird, the size of a chubby pigeon. It had black wings but the feathers on the tips looked bathed in gold. It had black eyes and it was devouring some kind of animal corpse.The girl screamed and ran into her home, the Stymphalian bird flying after her, it's eyes murderous. She tried to hide but she remembered something her father had told her. He had showed her a golden dagger and said that it would be in his bedroom, waiting for her time of need. The brunette ran up to her father's bedroom, the loud and dangerous bird shattering glass,launching sharp feathers all over the place. She searched for the dagger and when she found it she unsheathed it. She rolled away as bird barelled toward her. It's wingss were lodged into the wood of the wall, it flailed, cried out. Vanessa raisrd the dagger up and then plunged it into the head of the bird. It vaporized to sulfuric dust and she did the same with the last one. And she dropped the dagger,looked at the yellowish powder that was on the floor. Stymphalian birds, it was real. The myths, the gods....the monsters. It was too much. She quickly ran and got $350 she gad saved up from her bedroom, a backpack and she stuffed a picture of her dad and the wad of cash into the backpack. She contemplated going to her father but no, if she went to him maybe more monsters would come and they might hurt him...no. Vanessa, once she arrived to a small town named Woodsboro, met a goat boy. He was tall, strong with green ees and curly hair. His name was Vinnie and he revealed to her goat horns, furry legs and hooves. He called himself a "satyr" and told her he was going to take her to a place where she would be safe from the monsters and that all would be well. She relucantly complied and once they made it out of town, in a large field of ferns and grass, they were attacked by harpies. Vinnie pulled out a set of pipes and started playing a song that made the grass grow and reach up, trying to smack and ensare the bird women.Vanessa unheathedher dagger and stabbed two harpies that were screaming and trying to get out from the iron-hard grip of the grass blades. The other ones screamed and frantically flew off, cawing and leaving Vanessa with only some scars. Vanessa instantly trusted the satyr from that moment on. She used some money for a train ticket to a town a half hour away. At first the man at the ticket-buying booth refused to give her onedue to her being a minor but suddendly he seemed happy; smiling and bidding her a good trip, the dazed-looking man gave her the tickets. They celebrated Vanessa's 14th Birthday in New Hampshire, Vinnie being quite happy, even sneaking into a bakery and bringing her a cupcake.They made it to New York and Vinnie and Vanessa boarded a small boat with the letters CHB and he assured her they were close. They arrived at Long Island and walked from there until they neared a place Vinnie called ¨Camp Half-Blood. They arrived and when they did Vanessa was surprised at what they told her. Greek Gods, centaurs, nymps...all true. Vanessa made ammends with her father while she and Vinnie were in Annapolis, he is currently trying to make arrangements for her to visit Charlotte in the summer. Upon arriving, Vinnie gave her a small little welcoming gift; a sterling silver charm bracelet that when a certain twinkling ruby is turned clockwise, l a Celestial Bronze sword with a red ruby encrusted in the middle of the crossgaurd.She wears it all day, all hours.
