hey sorry it took me so long to get back to this

so here is the latest news on my progression as a writer. as of this moment in time i am working on a book (that i still have yet to name)about of all things a Nereid. what is a Nereid, you may ask. Good Question! A Nereid is one of the 50 daughters of the Greek God Nereus and his wife Dora (Dora was an ocean nymph and the daughter of the Titan Ocean)the are the nymphs of the sea. Some of them such as AMPHITRITE have stories behind them (Amphitrite was the wife of Poseidon and the queen of the sea).

but i noticed over time that not all of the Nereid's had stories (in fact a vast majority of them don't) despite the fact that the Greek playwrights and stories have given each one of them a name. I decided that I thought that there needed to be more to them than just what those old writers had to say about them. That aside if the gods do exist than so much more has happened in their history than we have recorded. therefore, it is time for a new story, this time based around KALLIANASSA and her name means the lovely queen ... But wait? the lovely queen? Well what is she queen of?

I have decided that poseidon was not the king of all seas, that would be far to vast a kingdom for one man (even if he is a greek god to run) so he shares the kingdoms. Enter Kallianassa, she was born in her underwater kingdom, but carried away on strong waves created by dark forces. she ends up washing up on shore and is adopted and raised on land. the summer of her senior year of high school she is on the Olympic cruse liner when all the sudden the ship begins to sink and she can't get out of her room. She is still on board the ship as it sinks down to the bottom of the sea. It is there that she meets Proteus who is according to most mythology Poseidon's attendant and according to others is his son. I have opted for both.

Convient thing about proteus I have manipulated his age so he is Kallianassa's age, but the really nice thing about him is that I have provided for me by mythology a perfect reason for him to be there to help her. he had two particular powers as a god. One is the ability to pridict the future and the other is the ability to change shapes.

anyways this is the basis of my new story hope you like the idea.
