Greta Femke was living in Belgium before start of World War I. Greta's fiance and lover, Alexander left for the Belgian army at the age of twenty much to her dismay. She met Stefan Niels (Ares, Zephyrus and Aeolus) while she was out in the market. This accidentally let to an argument when he spilled milk all over Greta's dress. Stefan and Greta did not became friends when they bumped into each other again. Stefan apologised for his actions later. Greta asked Stefan to stay with her for the day. While at her home, Greta talked about her family who died of an illness and her fiance who left for the Belgian army. Stefan smiled explaining that they was nothing to be worried about. Greta for the first time since her fiance left, felt happy. Stefan and Greta soon stayed with each other more and soon fell in love. After a few weeks of staying, Greta and Stefan got drunk and soon made love. The next morning, Greta discovered that Stefan had slept with her but could only remember fragments of last night. The horror of it, Stefan was nowhere to be found. However, he had left her a note telling her that she was sorry and had to leave urgently. This shocked Greta who went into depression afterwards. Months later, Greta was found in her labour by a neighbour. Since the child was ready to come out, the neighbour helped Greta gave birth to Angelien at home. Angelien was taken care for by Greta.
When she was six, the first World War started resulting in clashes of countries in Europe. Germany's plan to defeat France and Russia was to quickly take out the French before Russia could mobilize and take them out later known as the Schlieffen plan. To take out France quick enough (avoiding French frontier defences on their mutual border), Germany had to go through Belgium — a neutral country. However, the country resisted but they were terrible outgunned though they were later aided by the British. As the troops raided Brussels, Greta and Angelien were forced to flee. However, they were unable to. Greta was accidentally gunned by a soldier. Angelien escaped somehow meeting a group of kids around her age, 6 - 15. The oldest named Clara LeFevre asked her to join them. She relunctantly joined not knowing what was going to happen. Clara LeFevre revealed herself to be the daughter of Athena whom she explained about the gods and monsters to Angelien. Clara discovered the information from the satyr who was scouting demigods to a "Camp". However, the satyr died unfortunately. The weapon used for combating monsters "Celestial Bronze" could not be found. So they had to use their powers to defend themselves, but the more people joined, more monsters attacked. Angelien joined the team but she had not discovered her abilities as a demigod. The gang also have another objective, to kill every German in Belgium and liberate it.
Angelien as her age grew, sharpened her intelligence and became quite cold. She could fight well and use a gun perfectly. Meanwhile, Angelien's romance with a son of Iris, Rich blossomed. Rich and Angelien managed to get on a date in the wartorn world. However, a group of German soldiers near the area found them telling them to leave. Before they could say something, a hellhound appeared. It attacked. The other members of the gang arrived. They were only able to stall the hellhound. Rich started shouting in German catching Clara's suspicion. With nothing else to do, they all ran to safe place trying not to catch the monster's sense. Meanwhile, Clara asked who Rich was really. Ignoring Angelien's shouts that he was innocent, Clara pushed him against the wall and asked again this time with the gun. Being a bad liar, Rich tried to lie to her about himself. Clara believed none of it. Angelien's protests fell upon deaf ears. Being their objective was to "kill every German", Clara killed him in Angelien's shock.
This resulted in an argument with Clara and Angelien. The latter in anger tried to kill her. Clara merely dodged and managed to disable her. Clara explained their objectives again to Angelien. The girl broke her nose and left. Angelien decided to leave the gang enraged with Clara. As she journeyed on, she managed to hide herself from monsters. Angelien stumbled on to a cottage owned by a woman who kindly received her. However, she transformed into a Lamia and tried to devour her. Angelien tried to escape her but she was too fast. However, at the same time, a group of huntresses was around the area searching for a rogue monster. They managed to save Angelien before the Lamia could kill her. They tended her of her wounds and Angelien told them her story. Feeling pity for her, one of the huntress, Azalea decided to let her stay in the hunt. She explained to Angelien in more detail about the Greek gods. Angelien decided to become a huntress later.
While she was out hunting in the woods, Angelien began to reconsider her decision of joining the hunt. Realizing that this was mostly due to Artemis and her huntresses saving her life, she decided to leave the hunt wanting to find love again. With the permission of Artemis, she left the hunt. One of the huntresses gave her the map back to Camp. There she was claimed by Ares.
