I think it's best not to question this or how its possible, this is a thing with god's and goddess's and theres ton of weird stuff with them just enjoy it. even though she's not really a new-born either i hope this counts.
Indigo hadn't expected to be a mother of a demi-god child. She hadn't thought she was EVER going to be a type of mother at all. She just thought that maybe in her 30's or 40's she'd find a man and get together. Maybe even have twins together if they both ever wanted kids.
Though here she was, Barely in her 20's as she just turned 21 a few days ago and with a kid. Not even a normal kid, a half god child. The daughter of Iris the goddess of rainbows and messenger of the gods. She hadn't even believed the gods were real until she met Iris and all of this happened.
She had named her child Harmony Who had dark brown hair with eyes that seemed to change color's everyday and was 3 years old. Indigo Had to cut holes in all the shirts as Harmony had wings like Iris (though not the same color like her mother, just the wings.) so that they could fit.
She knew Harmony would start flying at some point because what would be the point of having wings if you couldn't? Though that wouldn't be the worst as she knew Iris could create rainbow's and Shape-shift so she knew Harmony would start to try and do that. she just hoped it would be easy to take care of a half god child.
When she had first had Harmony she thought of bringing a friend to help her, but decided not to at the last minute. how would you react to a friend having a half god child?? what if they brought in a scientist? she didn't want to find that out.
-2 weeks later-
Indigo watched in the corner as it seemed like Harmony was spreading her wings and getting ready to fly. she thought that she would have started to try and fly at around 9 or 10 and not this early. Was she going to have to help her with this? she didn't have any experience with any type of flying. Maybe she SHOULD get a friend to help her, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
Indigo took out her phone and looked at her contacts, waiting for the right moment when she should call a friend. She noticed Harmony's wings spread apart and then go up as she suddenly started to go up. was she flying?? she's like three and shes already a bit good at it! woah.
She watched in awe as Harmony flew, though it was decent and she wasn't to high up because she must know not to try and go up that high. "uh...good job sweetie!" Indigo smiled. This was like Harmony walking except it was flying, it was still good though. she was proud of her.
She continued to watch it the corner of the room, she didn't want to mess up anything. She was just accepting all of this stuff that HAS happened and that WILL happen. It may have been unexpected with Iris but she kind of liked having Harmony with her. It wasn't what she expected, but hey why not.
Harmony giggled as she flew around until suddenly she yawned a bit and her wings went down. uh oh. this mean't that harmony stopped flying as she started falling down. Indigo gasped as she quickly ran over and caught her. that was a close one! she seems alright...
Indigo sighed as she hugged harmony who seemed to be asleep, She didn't understand how she stayed asleep during that or fell asleep that quickly.
-age 7-
Indigo watched in the corner again, having no control of this as Harmony was laughing and shape-shifting into things that was around the room. she was still just accepting this, she knew harmony was getting used to this as well. Indigo had still not decided to call up a friend to help, she felt like she could handle this.
"hey mom look at this!" harmony said with another small laugh as she then shape-shifts into indigo. woah. was she always able to turn into a living thing or did she learn that? maybe Iris could do it as well.
"Thats...interesting sweetie..." Indigo said surprised. Iris was able to turn into someone's loved one or someone they knew to deliver a message to someone. Indigo then guessed that Harmony was always able to do that.
"i love you mom"
-age 11-
Indigo and Harmony were sitting outside of the house as Harmony was starting to fly more. she needed to be outside to do this now, the house would be to cramped for that. Indigo wished that she could fly, it looked amazing to be up in the sky just being free. she wondered if Iris ever watched or if she was ever going to visit.
the truth was with that, probably not or a 100% no. The god parent's never seemed to visit and if the kid ever met their parent it was probably a very rare thing. Then again Indigo didn't know anyone else who had a half god child so maybe she was wrong.
Indigo started to sip on some tea when she then heard from up above "Mom look at this!" she looked to see Harmony flying around when then suddenly, a rainbow appeared! a rainbow. Harmony just created a rainbow! Indigo gasped, it was amazing.
"its...so beautiful..."
Harmony laughed happily as she continued to fly around in the sky creating a few more rainbow's. She was loving this, and so was indigo. At first when she had learned she was going to have a child, she was first kind of against it and thought she would hate it. but no she wasn't, she loved her.
She sometimes wondered what her life would be like if she hadn't met Iris and had Harmony. she sometimes thought it would just be a normal life. But other times she sometimes thought that it would be a terrible and sad life. Late night thoughts right?
She also wondered how Harmony's life would be if it had been with someone else. Would they be as caring as she was? what if they kicked her out or hated her? she didn't ever wanna know if she was correct about that second one. any living thing deserves to life no matter what.
-age 16-
Harmony's brown hair was now past her shoulders almost to her bottom as her eyes were now a dark blue, though she knew they would change the next day again. She wore a black and white crop-top as her wings fit perfectly through the holes. she had grown so much over the years, her mother, both of her mothers were proud. even if Indigo didn't know that, Iris was also proud of her and Indigo.
Indigo had never even went for help with anything over the years, she had thought of it a few times but never did. Though a few of her friends did at least KNOW about Harmony and wasn't kept a secret. They had all made great impressions when they met two years ago.
Indigo and Harmony left the house with harmony carrying a few things. Both of them knew where they were going, Harmony wanted to go there. It would be fun, there would be others like her there. It would be a while until they got there and Indigo wouldn't be able to go with her, but it would be worth it.
They soon reached as far as Indigo could go with her. It would only be for the summer, maybe another one if she liked it. She was proud of her daughter, she hoped she would be safe here. she didn't want anything bad to happen.
Harmony gave Indigo a hug, indigo hugged back with a small smile. "ill see you soon sweetie..."
"i love you mom..."
part 2? and anyone wanna guess where they are? it should maybe be easy

This story is very sweet and innocent. I am giving it a 10/10 for the story! A few recurring mistakes, here and there, but other than that, it is beautiful. Keep writing! 😊

Thanks im glad you liked this story ^^ i'll try to maybe use Grammarly in my other stories so i won't keep making the mistakes later on. if you want to see more there are two others by the name of "The camp" and "not his fault" if ya wanna go and give it a read. make sure to leave a review if ya do. did you also maybe have a favorite part or character ^^

Heyoo. You asked me to read and here I am. This is good; kind of unique with all the semi-god stuff, I like it.
Things to work on; somewhere you've capitalized randomly in the middle of the sentences and somewhere you haven't capitalized even when starting a new sentence. That would definitely annoy the judge. He/she may as well dismiss it and you wouldn't want that...
Overall, a good job. I don't usually rate stories but here is a rate for you 7.25/10 .
Reply
Thank's im glad you enjoyed it. Yes i know i have to work on the capitalization parts, maybe i'll try and use grammarly or something to help me with it. There'll probably be a part 2 for it real soon and thanks for the rating ^^ do you maybe have a favorite part to the story or a favorite character out of the two so far?

Lia has to be my favorite... Yeah!

That was a well written story! Good job! I'm really excited for part 2!
Reply
Aw thank you im glad you liked it ^^ for part 2 or really any of the parts is there maybe something you want to see?
Reply
I would love to see Harmony become some sort of Super Hero that fights crime. The development of her powers sets up for a perfect sequel for a Hero/Villain story!

I love your take on a mythology! Harmony was an awesome character!
Reply
Thank you i'm glad you liked it! ^^ there will be more parts to this along with more demi-gods from Greek gods/goddesses along with Roman Demi-gods and all that. is there maybe something you would like to see in the next part?
Reply
I’d find some consequences or bad experiences as a Demi god/goddess to be an interesting take.
Reply
Alright, is there also maybe a certain god/goddess that you'd want a demi-god to be the child of? it can be either Greek or Roman
Reply
I'm always a sucker for stories that involve hades and/or persephone. Of if you wanna go further, you could do melinoe the daughter of the two. I love her and rarely see anything about her.
Reply
wait they have a daughter?? i never knew that. i could try to add her but first i gotta do some things for her. jeez she must never be in anything then
Reply
Hey there, so I read your story and I found it really sweet although I don't know anything about greek God and goddess but this one is quite unique and I like the way you portray the characters of indigo and harmony. Great job ❤
Reply
I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^ maybe you should look up a few Greek god and goddess myths along with just The gods and goddesses in general to maybe understand more. There's going to be a part 2 with a few other parts that has Both Greek demi-gods and Roman Demi-gods. Did you maybe have a favorite character so far in the story or a favorite part?
Reply
I found harmony kinda cute 😂
Reply
What did you think about indigo?
Reply
I loved watching Harmony grow up, it made her feel so real! I'm a big fan of Percy Jackson and all the other series' Rick Riordan has written on Greek and Roman mythology, so this was a real joy to read! I noticed a few sentences that could've flowed a bit better, such as "this mean't that harmony stopped flying as she started falling down." but the descriptive vocabulary you used was wonderful. There were also a few mistakes on capitalization that I noticed, but other then that this was an amazing story!
Reply
Thanks im glad you enjoyed the story! at the end harmony is going to a camp, but its my own one and not camp half-blood. There will be some more Demi-gods that are both Greek and Roman because at first i only thought of it being a greek one. part 2 will probably be my first new story when the new prompt is out, so ill try to tell you when its out. Did you maybe have a favorite part to the story at all or maybe a favorite character out of the two so far?
Reply
This is a very unique idea for the prompt! I love how you made cute little "vignettes" to take the day-in-the-life aspect further into these little snapshots of their relationship and growth. A few things I may suggest - if you're able to pre-write your story in a document editor (such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word), this can catch some grammar, spelling, and capitalization errors for you! As a formatting tip, I think putting your authors notes in italics can differentiate between your thoughts and the actual story :) Again, adorable idea you submitted!
Reply
I actually used to make stories on google docs for a while before joining this (i still sometimes do from time to time) and i used to have a friend read the thing when i finished the full story (they were longer than these short ones, they were like full on stories) Yeah that seems like a good idea, if i ever do an authors note thing in my other ones then ill do it with the italics. There's going to be a part 2 and some more parts as well from this with other Greek demi-gods as well as Roman demi-gods. I'm really glad you liked this and i hope you like the other one i suggested as well. Did you maybe have a favorite part to the story or a favorite character in it?
Reply
hey part 2 is out now, "the camp" give it a read and tell me what you think ^^
Reply
It's an unusual story. I liked the way the story was told as time moved on. It was a difficult prompt so I think you did well with it.
Reply
Yeah i wasn't planning on doing it because i didn't really have any ideas and it didn't sound good to me. Then i remembered i had been wanting to do some demi-god type stuff and went with this. i'm glad you liked it, did you have a favorite part?
Reply
I liked the part where she realised Harmony could create rainbow's and Shape-shift so she knew Harmony would start to try and do that.
Reply
Thank's im glad you enjoyed it ^^
Reply
I really like this story. I love the goddess iris amd think she's super underrated. The narrative was beautiful and watching harmony grow was fun.
The only minor problem is the grammar i think.
All in all, awesome job!!
Reply
Thanks i'm glad you liked it. I decided to Use Iris Because she is one of my favorites and i don't think she's in a lot of things there will be a part 2 at some point with some other demi-gods. Is there any God or Goddess that you'd want a character to be the son or daughter of?
Reply
Your most welcome!! I like Iris too, her job as messenger was pretty cool. And rainbows? I also liked how you made her gay in this one btw. I look forward to part 2 then!! Btw, are you doing roman or greek gods? I personally prefer roman. My favorite Roman goddess is Lupa, goddess of the wolves. She's badass, raised Romulus king of Rome, and represents strength and power. So, I'd love a half-wolf fighter sort of child. What do you think?
Reply
there's a goddess of wolves?? i love wolves! i learned about Iris from my cousin who also really likes the myths and all that. So far i've only looked at Greek gods and goddesses and the camp probably would have only been for greek demi-gods. But now that you mentioned Lupa i could add a child she has along with some other roman demi-gods. i could have the Camp be for both Greek and Roman instead of just being Greek.
Reply
Yes there's a goddess of wolves!! Lol i love wolves and myths too. Btw something tells me your reading the pjo and hoo books. Are you??? I finished the series it's amazing. You should have the camp be for both. It's a great idea.
Reply
Yes i've read the books from time to time. I'll have the camp for both Greek and Roman and maybe one other but probably just the two of them. I've never actually heard of the goddess of wolves but just taking a guess, is she able to turn into a wolf?
Reply
Hey Saron, Part 2 is out now go ahead and give it a read ^^ i'm excited to see what you think. "the camp" is the name
Reply
This story was lovely! It reminded me of Percy Jackson. (I'm a fan) Good Job!
Reply
Thanks im glad you liked it, im a fan as well. do you know where she was going at the end of the story? it gets better
Reply
Amazing! I loved this story very much! :-)
Reply
I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

This is such an interesting premise. I love how you followed Harmony through all the stages of her growth. I'd love to see this fleshed out into a really detailed short story at the very least. It feels more like an outline that could really take off.
You have a few grammar problems, nothing that Grammarly or ProWritersAid couldn't deal with in a hurry though.
I enjoyed this immensely. Nice job.
Reply
Thank you i'm glad you liked it. There will actually be another part to this and maybe a few other parts and not just a part 2. I'll try to still use Grammarly or ProWritersAid on my other stories. Did you maybe have a favorite part to this?
Reply
This is a great story! I loved the juxtaposition of the goddess theme with Indigo's ordinary human life. I also really liked how you took us through Harmony's childhood and adolescence. I love these characters and am very much looking forward to a Part 2 - keep 'em coming!
Reply
Thank you, im glad you enjoyed it ^^ once the new prompt comes out ill continue because i already did all the little stories for this prompt. Part 2 will have much more stuff from this as Harmony is at the camp, there will be more demi gods introduced. like maybe a daughter of hades (just an example im not sure if there will be) and even after part 2 there may be a few other parts :)
Reply
Can't wait!
Reply
do you maybe have any ideas on the camp name? i dont have any ideas but i dont think it should still be half-blood
Reply
I will think about it and let you know if I have any suggestions....but you are so creative yourself, that I'm sure you will come up with the perfect name!
Reply
i do have a few names in mind but if you do, i would love to hear your suggestions for it. i have ideas for who the kids parents should be since there'd be more than harmony, it would be greek and Roman gods and goddesses. maybe there'll be a few of your favorites.
Reply
Part 2 is out now, give it a read. "the camp" is the name, tell me what ya think :)
Reply
Aww, this was really sweet! I love Greek mythology, so I especially enjoyed this one.
Reply
I've kind of been obsessed and interested with all of it because after watching Percy Jackson i started talking to my Older cousin, who got me interested in all of it because they really love greek mythology as well. Thank's im glad you liked it, did you maybe have a favorite character or part?
Reply
Wait...watching Percy Jackson? Watching? *Cries in fangirl.*
Reply
Yep watching. I've really only seen the first movie though (i think there's three movies of it) but i've watched the other ones for a while as well. along with reading A few of the percy jackson books. Besides that though i got interested into all of the other stories of the greek gods like all the stuff with Zeus and some other ones like athena.
Reply
As a diehard book fan, I sorta hate the movies with passion, lol. But I'm looking forward to the Disney plus series!
Reply
I mostly only watched the movies whenever we were at school but i dont fully remember. This will be something that'll have more parts and not just 1 :) so when i make the second one i'll tell you, i'd think you would like it as well ^^
Reply
Really lovely story dude.
Reply
thanks, i'm glad you liked it :) there will be a part 2 soon when the other prompt comes out so i'll tell you when its out, maybe you'd like it as well. Did you maybe have a favorite part of the story or a character?
Reply
You know, when I was younger I'd scribble all my stories on a word documents and then never share them with anyone. I'm glad you're not doing that. Receiving feedback is great, even if you only see writing as a hobby.
I love fantasy stories and this had this magical girl vibe that I liked. Keep writing and creating magic.
Reply
Thank you i'm glad you enjoyed this. I've been into the greek god type stuff lately so i decided to try and make a story for it finally. If you do, do you maybe have a favorite part of the story?
Reply
When she's about to fly. It's lovely. Keep practicing. I'd say cut a little bit on the physical descriptions without eliminating them, and add more scenes like that one. Flying is exciting, show us exactly how exciting it's for the character and you'll have readers hooked in (who wouldn't like to read a good story where someone is able to fly?).
Reply
There will probably be a part 2 for this as she is a demi-god and she's going to some type of camp. kind of like in the percy jackson stuff but different. She's going to fly a lot during the next parts so i'll describe it as well. Thank you i'm still glad you liked this.
Reply
Wow, cool story! I love how her powers slowly evolve! Oh, and is she going to Camp Half Blood?
Reply
thanks im glad you liked it. and yes in a way she's going to camp half-blood but im thinking if the camp should be a different one. though i can't think of the name for it. Did you maybe have a favorite part of the story and a favorite character?
Reply
You're welcome! My favorite part was when Harmony first flew!
Reply
what are some things you'd maybe want to see in a part 2 whenever i would make it?
Reply
Hmm...maybe about the other demi-gods she meets? And also her first reaction to the camp?
Reply
I can try to do that and if you have any other ideas what kind of demi-gods would you want to meet? and i can kind of mean like by who their parent is (zeus, Ares, etc)
Reply
ARE THEY GOING TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD? I loved that series! Anyways, this story is great, B.W.! I usually promise myself that I read at least one story of each of my followers. It think I’ve gotten to most if not all. I was not disappointed with you! Despite some typos, the plot is sound and the characters are awesome!
Also—congrats on starting a novel! I read your bio and it sounds interesting. I’ve always wanted to write a novel but I haven’t gotten any ideas.
Bye, and great job B.W.!

Hi, I liked this story (big fan of Greek mythology) and think you created a good premise for the start of a story.
I think to take your writing to the next level you can add depth through more emotion. Sometimes the description tends to be literal - flapping wings and flying, but you could also show the rush of air to demonstrate the power growing in her wings, or blowing things over, blowing her mother's hair. These things can really embed the reader in the scene, no longer just the actions of a person, but also how they effect the space around them.
Another thing you can add is more emotional fears/desires to drive the story telling. For example the fear of the mother, worrying what life will be like for her child, will the other gods/goddesses be jealous or make life hard (which they often do in Greek mythology). A mother wants to protect their child, so these add normal fears in an abnormal situation. Could also be excitement of what powers she will develop, what the future holds for her.
But overall interesting characters, and a great story.
Happy writing.

Hm i'm glad you liked it and thank's for more of the advice with it ^^ if you wanna there's some other parts you could check out:
the camp
Not his fault
Getting her back
Reply
I liked how the story was from the parent's perspective(ik that was the prompt, but still) it was really interesting to compare it to a demi-gods perspective like in Percy Jackson. I would say don't forget to captialize, it makes it sound kinda more professional in my opinion, and distracts less from the story
Reply
Thank's im glad you liked it ^^ yeah i'm still trying to work on that and some other stuff. did you maybe have a favorite part to it? there's also still a few more parts to it if ya wanna read those maybe ^^

Good Story!

I love the dynamic between Harmony and Indigo. I love you you saw this prompt and decided "yup, that's it, I'm gonna mythologise this". I love how you gave Harmony two moms instead of the usual mom-dad combo seen in the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series. Besides a few grammatical errors, this was a really creative interpretation and adaptation of both the prompt and Greek mythology. Keep up the great writing!
Reply
I would normally suck at what the prompt is and then remembered i wanted to do something with Greek mythology so i just went "nows my time to shine" and did it. Yeah i kinda thought it would be cute to do as well instead of a mom and dad, and yeah i know but i can't edit them anymore. theres still "not his fault" and "getting her back" to check and leave a comment at ^^ did you maybe have a favorite part or character in this part of it?
