Lydia Brown and the Quests for Olympus

***Spoiler warning:** Plot and/or ending details follow.*
**Lydia Brown and the Quests for Olympus** is a Greek mythology-inspired story about a demigod named Lydia Brown. Over the years, the book has developed two different plots; therefore, the first version of the story written between 2014 and 2015 is called the "First Draft" while the second version written after 2016 is called the "Second Draft," though the stories are very similar.

## History

#### Second Draft

Lydia lives in a boarding school in New York City since she was orphaned. One day, she walks to the cafeteria in a pleasant mood. She gets in line and gets pancakes, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, and orange juice. Lydia sits down with her friends, Hannah and Owen Jenkins, who are twins, and they comment on the food. Then, they turn their conversation to Jaden, the new kid. Jaden looks at Lydia, and she becomes frightened by his muscular, violent-looking physique and his yellow eyes. Lydia eats her food, thinking about Jaden, but doesn't notice that it starts raining outside. Hannah snaps her out of her trance, causing her to spill orange juice all over her uniform. Her friend mentions how the skies were clear just minutes ago, and then, it suddenly started to rain. Disgrunted, Lydia goes back to eating her food, but Hannah grabs her face, turns it towards her, and whispers that Jaden is staring at their group. Lydia wonders what the big idea is, and Hannah begins to talk rapidly, not making any sense of her words.

Then, Jaden stands up and walks over to their table. He demands Hannah's breakfast, and Hannah says no. Jaden transforms into a dragon, and the kids in the cafeteria scream. Lydia and her friends run out the doors and the cafeteria explodes. They dash through the hallways and Jaden follows them. He gets the tip of his wing caught in a slot in a locker and tears it out, causing the lockers to fall over like dominos. One crashes down on Hannah's toe, preventing her from moving. Owen throws a fork at Jaden's eye and Lydia follows suit by chucking a heavy math book at the dragon's head. Jaden falls over, his head crashing through a locker and gets it stuck there. Lydia and Owen take out all the things in the locker crushing Hannah's toe and pull it off her, noticing that it was quite swollen. Jaden then melts the locker on his head and swings his tail at Hannah, sending her flying.

Lydia grabs the fork that Owen had thrown at Jaden. The dragon lunges for the improvised weapon and bites it out of Lydia's hand, nipping her finger in the process and causing it to throb. Owen jumps at Jaden, and the dragon bellows at the boy, causing him to loose concentration. Jaden hits Owen in midair and he crumples to the ground, clearly injured. Jaden tells the injured teenagers that they are foolish if they think they can take on him, and Lydia asks for his purpose in being there. Jaden tells them that the threesome were prophesied for many centuries to bring destruction to many, and Lydia expresses disbelief.
