Revelations of Carina Persidus

The Revelations of Carina Persidus were a series of memories given to its namesake by the River Mnemosyne. In it, Carina witnessed both the Battle of Mount Othrys and the Battle of Olympus from the perspective of her former life, the Greek goddess Demeter; she is the reincarnation of the goddess following the latter battle.
==Background==
In the later stages of the Prophecy of Thetis, the Minor goddess Deicidia became enraged at all the Olympians, which led her on a rampage across the Hellenistic World. The result of said rampage left all Twelve Olympians (except Hestia) dead; Hades was killed as well, not before utilizing his Dying Wish to reincarnate the gods.
==History==
===Visiting the Bathhouse===
Following a night out with friends, Carina Persidus woke up one morning with a large hangover, which she talked about with her mother. Despite Selpy's suggestions otherwise, Carina decided to go bathe in the Larissa Bathhouse to clean herself off.
Upon arriving to the front entrance, Carina began hearing voices coming from one of the niches in the walls, telling her to "Discover. Remember. Follow.." After this, a tunnel opened up in the wall, revealing a staircase that led deep underground. Initially hesitant, Carina slowly walked down the staircase, eventually having to use her hands to be able to see, as it was too dark.
===The River Mnemosyne===
Once Carina reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed a loud sound similar to rushing water, as her eyes slowly adjusted to the dark. When calling out into the darkness, Carina received a response from the water spirits, telling her to bathe in the rushing stream. At once, Carina felt an involuntary urge to do just that; dipping her feet in and lying on her back, allowing the rushing water to wash over her completely.
===Memories of Olympus===
One of the first memories to appear for Carina was that of a large, marble hallway. One gilded from top to bottom with fine metals and decorative artwork; an artwork depicting the Battle of Mount Othrys drew Carina to it. Once pulled inside, Carina witnessed the battle first-hand from the body of Demeter. A fact which, at the time, Carina was not aware of.
In the memory, Demeter is atop a cliff strategizing while witnessing the battle below, when Hera calls out for Poseidon and the three attempt to find a way to weaken Mount Othrys. Moments later, Hades runs up to the group in total exhaustion, just in time for Demeter to ask if he could cause minor cracks in the mountain, to which he replied yes before collapsing on the ground.
Little by little, Carina discovered who she was after each wave hit her in the River returned vivid imagery of the battle. Upon being on the cusp of finding out which goddess she is, Carina was violently awoken by the River, which caused her to shiver uncontrollably. She then had a minor breakdown as the River encouraged her to find out who she is, giving Carina the hint of Delta (Δ).
