My story starts where the myth ends. Pandora wandering through Ancient Greece meets Nike the winged victory goddess. She taunts Pandora about not a real goddess. She tells her she is just a construct a machine etc. This of course angers Pandora. She reachs out with lightning speed and pulls one of the wings off Nike. Nike falls back in dismay. Pandora then finishs off Nike with the a blunt object
and she falls off a cliff into the Agean Sea.
Pandora suddenly finds she has the
ablity to sprout wings. This amazes her.
She might be able to get other powers
this way as well. She sets off on a
new mission now to become as powerful
as she can. The Greek gods on Mount
Olympus have heard of what Pandora is
doing. They send powerful Greek gods
to assassinate her. She destroys them
as well. The remaining Greek gods
plead to Zues to take care of this
matter. Zues is stopped by Athena
that tells him that he can't destroy
this girl. She has been told that
she is extremely important to the
future.
He must work something else out.
Zues sends a messenger to tell
Pandora that she is to go to a huge
stone circle to the North and gives her directions. Pandora flys there and meets a messenger that gives her a document. The scroll contains a series of tasks that she must accomplish. If she does this she will be rewarded at this spot in the future and be elevated to the status of a full Greek god. If she refuses then she will be cast into Hades for all eternity. Simple choice she picks the the tasks.
Her first task was to save a princess in excile at Ephesus. Arsinoe was actually supposed to be living at the temple of Artemis. She is the younger sister to Cleopatra. She is part Greek and part Egyptian. Her fears are real. Cleopatra has Antony send a force of soldiers which kill her moments before Pandora arrives. The year is 41 B.C.
Pandora gets there to late and finds
Arsinoe dead. She does not like to be
defeated and flys her off to the temple
of Hephaestus and pleads for help.
Hephaestus agrees to help but at a
cost. He then, with Pandora's
permission places her heart into
Arsinoe and she now becomes immortal.
All Greek gifts seem to come with curses
or problems. Arsinoe will now have
to stay in the shadows.
She can no longer walk in the daylight.
Pandora flys off leaving Arsinoe at
The temple of Hepheatus outside of
Athens. Arsinoe doesn't know who
saved her. She sets off to find a cure
or get healing to this strange illness.
The year is 29 A.D.
Pandora is busy with the list of tasks. She must find special mythical ring. This ring will open a portal. The ring must be charged with energy by having it exposed to powerful beings so it can draw energy from them. Once it is fully charged up a portal will open. No further details were given on this except that she is to give it to Arsinoe.
Arsinoe moves to Romania. 1400 where she is still looking for a cure for her illness. She is brought to the palace of Vald The Impaler. His young wife has recently met with a terrible accident and is dying. He has heard that Arsinoe is a healer. This might be due to her having to become a nurse during her travels and attending to people dying of Bubonic Plague.
