Katherina Harfield was the daughter of a two Irish doctors. Being the youngest of 5 kids, she was hardly ever noticed, the only attention she got was from her friends. Despite this, Katherine grew up to be the smartest of the Harfield Children, her two sisters becoming house wives at the ages of 20 and 22, and her brothers moving abroad as soldiers, one to Russia and one to Australia. At the age of 24, Katherine was already a graduate from Oxford University and was returning to Belfast to become a nurse.
One bright summers day, in the hospital that she was working in, Hermes approached her, with a warm, welcoming smile, in which Katherine was attracted immediately. She and the God started to date, and three months later, the two had sex and the god left soon after, but he told Katherine who he was, and said he'd give her any support from wherever he was, when she wanted it. Nine months, on the 5th August 1994, Seamus and Danny were born.
Seamus and Danny grew up well with each other; rarely being seen alone. They were always commonly known as 'Seamus and Danny; the trouble makers of Belfast', since they were forever playing pranks on people, and were often compared to Fred and George from the Harry Potter Series, Seamus being 'Fred' and Danny being 'George'. Seamus would always call Danny 'Georgie' as Fred did, and Danny would call Seamus 'Freddie'. When they were 11, their Mum got married to John Petite, Seamus and Katherine took up the last name 'Petite' and Danny kept Harfield. When they got older, Seamus became more quiet and funny, whereas Danny became more rebellious and loyder. When they were 13 and walking down an alley way to get back home, they were attacked by a hellhound. In an almost natural instinct, they both grabbed the nearest weapon, which was two iron poles, since it was the famous alley where people dumped their rubbish and unwanted items, and began to defend themselves.
Eventually, the hellhound went away, and then twins were left alone once more in the alley way.
When they were 16, their school had a trip to New York for photography. Seamus, who was deeply interested went on the trip, and Danny stayed back in Ireland awaiting his brother's return. About one day before the end of the trip, a letter appeared to the Petite-Harfield's door, saying that Seamus had left the trip, but was in safe hands. Katherine knew that he was now at the Camp that Hermes/Dionysus/Eros had once talked about. Danny, now depressed, became closed up.
Two years on, Katherine who got letters from Seamus all of the time, hated seeing Danny depressed, so on his 18th birthday, took him to Camp where the twins were reunited.
His mother had taken him on his 18th birth day, to America. Danny didn't want to go to stupid America. He wanted to stay in Ireland with his friends. Upon arrival, a man. Holding up a plack reading Danny Harfield. This man stuck in Danny's mind as he was amazingly hairy, he had the hairyest arms and legs he has ever seen. He had a small goaty and a large baseball cap. His mother urged him forward. Are you Danny Harfield? The man asked. He answered Yes. Come with me the man replied. He got into this run down looking cab. He saw his mother, in the airport, she got on a plain at waved him good bye
As they drove, the hairy man explained every thing, that he was a Satyr called Crios and that Danny's father was a god. Danny though this man was crazy, and at one point attempted to jump from the car. But is was locked. After about an hour drive they came upon a man, he seemed scruffy and he wanted a ride. Crios just passed his without a seconds though. Danny asked him to turn back and pick the man up. Crios refused. As Danny looked back at the man. Wings seemed to sprout from his back. Danny rubbed his eyes, but the man had actually sprouted wings and was now flying after them. Danny informed Ciros who stoped the car and hoped out. Ciros un-heathed a pen which the turned to a spear. He threw it at the thing, and it pierced it heart, it then burted to dust and slowly floated to the ground.
Crios re-entered the car and carried on driving. After an hour of silence, they reached the bottom of a wooded hill. Crios jumped out of the car again, Common he said. Danny followed, they came up to a big arch, and Ciros passed through, he also passed through. At the bottom of the fally, he meet a boy, this boy looked like someone he knew. It was Seamus. He had found his brother
