One day the goddess of peace/mayhem was 

walking in the woods, wishing for a friend. As a 

child, she was always mischievous. She was the 

one who caused many wars, so Zeus had to 

watch her carefully. As she walked through the 

woods, she sat on a rock and sang a beautiful 

melody. She had gifts from both of her parents, 

Apollo and Athena. She has the wisdom of war 

and many other things, and also the harmony 

and song from her father, but her powers start 

to differentiate at that point. She has the power 

to control hearts. She knows a heart’s melody 

and can use that melody to cause peace or 

mayhem. 

When she was born,   Zeus and Ares fought over where 

she would live, and who she would use her powers for. 

Obviously, Zeus won. Yet, Ares still had his eyes on 

her, waiting until the day that she would come to his 

side. As the goddess sang in the woods, there was 

another girl, a rich girl. Her name was Juliet. She came 

to Olympus to watch the Olympics, but got lost and 

wandered in the woods. She wandered, and wandered. 

She then, suddenly heard a beautiful melody, “What is 

that sound?” she said. She desperately looked around, 

searching for the voice of the melody. 

Then she saw her, a beautiful girl, about sixteen years 

old. She was singing a song with no words, but even 

with just that, it was beautiful. Juliet walked closer, 

forgetting that she could seen. (The song was that 

good) As she walked closer, the goddess instantly 

turned around. The goddess and the mortal looked at 

each other, astonished. “Umm, hi?” said the goddess. 

“Hi.” said Juliet with a shaky voice. That’s when the 

goddess noticed, “Are you a human?” she asked. “Y-

yes.” stampered Juliet, as she actually sees the 

goddess’s whole face, which was in fact, beautiful. 

“Really?!” the goddess stood up from the rock and ran 

towards Juliet. Juliet flinched. 

“Is it okay if we…” the goddess’s voice trailed 

off, “become friends?” Juliet’s eyes brightened. 

“Of course!” “You promise?” said the goddess 

raising an eyebrow, “Of course!” and Juliet 

taught the goddess how to pinkie promise.

They talked and enjoyed their time together. Since 

Juliet was a young child, she believed the goddess, “So, 

I haven’t asked. What is your name?” asked Juliet, as 

looked at her new friend. “Pollena. It’s both of my 

parent’s names combined.” Pollena stated. “Who are 

your parents?” asked Juliet. “Apollo and Athena. The 

poll, is from Apollo, and the ena, is from Athena.” 

“Wow, thats cool.” exclaimed Juliet. “No, not that 

much. I don't see them often. My dad is busy, like, 

really busy. My mom on the other hand…” Pollena 

looked away. “I’ve never seen her.” Juliet was 

confused, “Why?” “Well, because she’s the goddess of 

wisdom and war. She’s even more busy than dad. Plus, 

when I was little, I caused a lot of wars. I must be 

annoying. And she wasn’t supposed to get a child 

anyways.” said Pollena. 

“Why?” Juliet asked again. “Well, she’s a….I don’t know" 

Pollena thought for a moment, "You know Medusa, right?” 

Pollena looked at Juliet. “Yeah?”   “It’s because she fell in 

love with a god and my mom turned her into a…..how 

should I say it…..a bad-looking women, who needs a 

haircut.” she looked at Juliet, hoping for a result of 

understanding, but Juliet only looked confused, “You 

know what, never mind.” She’ll probably get it when she 

grows up. Thought Pollena “Pollena.” said Juliet. “Yeah?” 

Pollena looked at Juliet, “What's your power?” she looked 

at Pollena with curiosity. “Well, I can control hearts.” 

“Really?!” said Juliet surprisingly, “Yeah, but I’m still 

being trained by Grandpa Zeus. My powers haven’t fully 

awakened.” Juliet looked disappointed when she heard 

this, “Don’t worry, I can still sing.” Pollena said grinning, 

Juliet smiled.

Years passed.....

Pollena and Juliet were playing in the field, “This is where 

Persephone was taken by Hades.” Pollena said, looking 

around the flower scattered valley. Juliet looked at her, “Hey, 

Pollena.” Pollena turned around. “When I saw you, you were 

about the same age I am now, right?” Juliet said with a 

questioning look. "How come you don't look any older, from 

the day we met?" Pollena raised an eyebrow, “Juliet, you do 

know I’m a goddess, right?” said Pollena, looking at Juliet, 

making sure she hasn’t forgot. When Pollena said this, she 

felt sad. She knew deep inside that, she’s immortal, and 

Juliet's not. One day, Juliet will… "Pollena, don't you love 

roses, I do. They're my favorite flower." Juliet said as she 

smelled a rose. "Yeah, yeah. Sure." Pollena wasn't paying 

attention. Juliet went across the field in search of more roses, 

then, the sky went black, and Pollena knew what 

that meant.

 She heard a horrid laugh, she turned toward the direction of 

Juliet and heard a scream, her eyes widened, she instantly 

teleported to the direction of the scream. In a second, she 

was in front of Juliet, with her arms in front of her as 

protection. “Seems like you’ve grown to be quite a lady.” the 

god said. The god that Pollena was looking at, was Ares. 

“What do you want?” she said glaring at him and pushing 

Juliet behind her. “Nothing.” he said smirking, “I know you're 

here for something, spit it out.” demanded Pollena. Ares’s 

smirk disappeared, “Come to the world of war, come to my 

side.” he said stretching out his hand. Juliet was trembling, 

“Who do you think I am?” Pollena said, as she put her hand to 

her chest, “I’m smarter than you,” she stares at Ares, “I am 

the daughter of wisdom and war. I am the daughter of poetry 

and harmony.” she points at him, “I am far more greater than 

you!” her finger was so close to his face, that it practically 

went up his nose. 

By this he was so angered, “Since you refused my 

offer, and you insulted me. I will cast a spell of war 

upon you!” as he yelled, he raised his hand and a 

dark cloud surrounded him and he vanished. Juliet 

was still trembling, “I-is he gone?” Juliet said 

coming out from Pollena’s back, “Yeah, but he’s 

going to be back.” Pollena said looking at the spot 

where Ares disappeared.

“Pollena, is what he said, about the war, true?” she 

looked at Pollena with sad eyes. Pollena didn’t want 

to lie, “I don’t know.” Pollena said, as she shook her 

head in anger and sadness.

Juliet returned to her castle, she greeted the 

servents and she was going to the throne room, 

when,“What did you say?!” she heard her mother 

scream. 

“It is true! They have declared war on us!” her 

father also screamed, Juliet burst into the room, 

“War?!” she said almost yelling, “With who?!” her 

eyes were frantic. So it was true! she thought. 

“With a kingdom that we’ve never even met!” 

yelled her mother, Juliet knew this was serious, 

because her mother never yelled. Juliet went back 

to the valley, “Pollena! Pollena!” she looked around 

and saw Pollena staring out in space, singing. 

“Pollena!” Pollena turned around, and from the way 

Juliet is yelling, Pollena already knew. “It 

happened.” Pollena whispered to herself.

“Pollena!” Juliet came running toward her and stopped 

breathless, “Pollena, it happened, it happened. War is 

happening!” she looked up into Pollena’s eyes, with tears 

filling her own. “What should I do?!” she screamed. 

“Calm down.” Pollena said, even though she was 

panicking herself. “Let’s try to fix everything out.” she 

said grabbing unto Juliet’s trembling shoulders. “Talk to 

your parents to try to make them snap out of it, Ares can 

make anyone crazy and blood thirsty.” she pointed 

toward the direction of Juliet’s castle, “Go, I’ll be with 

you in my human form.” instantly Pollena transformed 

into a young lady, about 20. She was still beautiful, with 

long blonde hair. “Let’s go.” they walked straight to the 

castle. With the human form of Pollena, everyone will see 

her as a servant, or of just somebody who's not 

mysterious.  

They went to the throne room, where Juliet’s parents 

were arranging an army and getting ready for war. 

“Mother, stop listen to me!” said Juliet, but her mother 

ignored her.   She looked at her father, “Father!” but he 

too, was ignoring her. She stared at them, “It’s as if 

they can’t hear me.” Juliet said, tears starting in her 

eyes. 

Pollena put her hand on Juliet’s shoulder, “I wasn’t the 

only one who caused all the wars.” her eyes narrowed, 

“This is Ares’s way to get what he wants.” she looked at 

Juliet, “Can you somehow get their attention?” said 

Pollena, looking for a way to snap them out of it. Juliet 

sadly shook her head.

Pollena bit her lip, wishing her powers would awaken 

sooner, so she could make everything back to normal.

Days and days past, and war got worse. One 

day there was a dance in the kingdom, Juliet 

thought it was an opportunity to talk to her 

parents, but she didn’t know it was a 

masquerade ball, so when she attended the 

dance, she couldn’t recognize her parents, and 

desperately looked around for them. Her eyes fell 

on a boy, who was watching her. He walked up to 

her and bowed, charmingly. “May I please I have 

this dance?” he said looking into her eyes. Juliet 

was happy she was wearing a mask, because she 

was blushing. They danced and danced, and Juliet 

invited him to the balcony, they looked into each 

others eyes and fell in love. 

Just then their parents pulled them apart, “Juliet, how dare you be 

with this hooligan!” Juliet’s mother gasped. “Romeo, how dare you 

dance with her.” Romeo's father said looking disgustedly at Juliet. 

“How dare you-” “I’ve never-” “If I could-” their parents argued and 

they separated Juliet and Romeo. Juliet's parents told her that 

Romeo's parents, are the ones that declared war against them.

That night, Juliet could not stop thinking of Romeo, she was 

lovestrucked. She began to cry. Pollena was about to enter her 

room, but she saw everything about Juliet and Romeo, and closed 

her eyes sadly. She truly wished that she could use her powers, but 

she couldn't. She turns away and leaves Juliet.

That night Romeo crept up the castle and met with Juliet, she 

almost squealed, but he hushed her. “Oh my Juliet.” he says in a 

soft voice, “Oh my Romeo.”   they fell deeper in love, Pollena was 

also watching this, she narrowed her eyes and watched as Romeo 

left with a goodbye kiss.

The next morning, “Juliet! Snap out of it! We need to focus on the war!” 

Pollena said waving her arms in the air, “I know you love that human boy, 

but please, let us focus on the war!” Juliet wasn’t even listening. Angry, 

that her friend has totally ignored her, Pollena turns away and teleports to 

the throne room.   “They have killed many of our troops!” the king yelled. 

“Send soldiers to attack the royal family!” the king released many soldiers 

to the battlefield. No! thought Pollena, she needed to stop this, now! She 

went to the king and even though she was a goddess, and even though 

she didn’t want to do it, she pleaded to him, “Please stop this!” she said 

running to the king, disgusted that she’s pleading to a human. “ Please 

stop this! You’ll make it worse!" she screamed at the king, the king just 

stared at her, since she was in her human form, she looked like a servant, 

“A servant, telling me what to do. Ha!” he pointed to the dungeon, “Off 

with you!” the guards came and towed Pollena away, “Please stop this! 

You’ll ruined everything! Stop this now!” she scrambled from the guards, 

“Silence!” the king glared at her, “You have no right to speak to me! You 

are just a mere servant!” he said, little bits of spit coming out of his 

mouth.   Well, you are just a mere human! thought Pollena.

“No! Stop!”something popped into the mind of Pollena, 

“You’ll make the gods angry! Please don’t continue with 

this war!” he stared at her and laughed, “Gods? Ha!” he 

pointed at her, “I am the god here!” he smiled with 

darkness, “I am far more greater than you!” that’s when it 

struck Pollena. Those were my words to Ares, this is all of 

Ares’s fault! “No! Sto-” Pollena was interrupted, “Enough! Off 

with her head!” the king yelled, but Pollena was the one who 

had enough, she teleported in front the king, he was 

strucked back into his throne, by shock, “Listen to me!” 

Pollena pointed into his face, but before she could say 

anything, “We have not accomplish to kill the whole royal 

family, but we accomplished to kill the prince!” said a soldier 

saluting. No! Pollena was pushed away by the king, “Perfect! 

Now let’s kill the whole family!” the king was laughing. He 

laughed a laughter full of evil. Pollena was on her knees.

Before, whenever she came to visit the king in another human form, 

he was always a kind man, he always smiled, but now, as she 

looked at the king, she thought.   He is just possessed by madness. 

The people in the room rejoiced to the death of the prince. Pollena 

looked away in shame. She teleported into Juliet’s room, she looked 

at the daydreaming Juliet. She knew it was better if Juliet didn’t 

know, but it’s better if she told her now, because she also knew that 

it was better than Juliet loving someone, who wasn’t even alive. She 

walked up to Juliet, Juliet turned around, “Pollena!” she said happily, 

but then, she looked closely at Pollena, “What’s wrong?” Pollena 

looked into the eyes of her friend, then she looked away, “Romeo….” 

she closed her eyes shamefully, Juliet looked at her with confusion, 

“What did you say?”
