Percy Jackson | Ideas #1

So... I had an idea on my mind, and decided to share it. It goes something like this: One day, both Hades and Persephone, unbeknownst to each other, decide to create an Avatar —a term that might change. In essence, an Avatar is a human saved from being stillborn when a god or goddess imbues them with a fragment of their own divinity. This act turns the infant into an extension of the god's being. Gods typically do this when they're bored but too busy to personally engage in entertainment. The Avatar remains unaware of their divine origins, and the god or goddess only gains access to their Avatar’s memories and experiences upon their death.

In this scenario, Hades and Persephone each secretly create an Avatar while apart —Persephone is staying with her mother during the warmer months, and Demeter, as always, tries to keep her and Hades separated. To combat her isolation, Persephone creates her Avatar in secret.

By a strange twist of fate, both Avatars meet while at school. They spend seven years together, eventually marry, and have a child. Tragically, a year after the child's birth, they are murdered and their house is destroyed. With their deaths, Hades and Persephone suddenly receive the flood of memories, emotions, and experiences of their respective Avatars.

Now, Hades and Persephone face a dilemma. Hades had sworn off fathering any more children after the events of World War II and the Great Prophecy, while Persephone had never had a demigod child before. Nervous, Persephone confesses to Hades what she had done, barely giving him a chance to react. To her surprise, Hades isn't angry. Instead, he reveals that something about her story felt familiar—because his Avatar was married to hers.

They are now confronted with a new, even more perplexing problem: Their Avatars had a child together... but what did that mean for the child —and for them?
