Madelyn. That was her name. And the last word she ever heard before showing up in Elysuim.Nobody knew her name though when she arrived. She had saved the world, but nobody knew shehad. The heros on the Hill of Legends had scorned her for it. She had tried to find her mentor and gethis help but they all looked the same, shiny and arrogant. After a while, she couldn't take it. Shecouldn't take the scowls, the scoffers, and the insults. So she tried to prove her worth against thebest, but, it didn't go well. But this isn't the story of her depressing death, its the before story.buckle up.Madelyn was a daughter of Apollo and when her mom dropped her off at the ancient version ofCamp Half-Blood, her dad claimed her. It was a pretty fast claiming which made her adored andhated. She found two best friends, Saul and Helia. She was really talented and did very well in thegames. She was an expert with a bow and could hit a target hundreds of yards away. But, not manypeople noticed her. Mainly because the hero of the century, Bellaphron, was getting all the attention.Not that she cared a ton, I mean, she was living the good life. She had friends, a crush, and a safeplace to call home. Then, while she was patrolling, her and Saul were ambushed and... she couldn'tsave him in time. Her and Helia seperated themselves from the camp for a time and Madelyn wasnever the same. The Oracle came by to the camp every 6 months and most times she didn't sayanything. But this time she did, and she gave it to Madelyn. Most thought this was odd and scornedit. All but Helia and Bellaphorn. Surprisingly Bellaphron didn't. Since Saul was gone and Helia washer only friend remaining, she really didn't have anyone else to choose. So she chose the only otherone that didn't hate her, Bellaphorn. Their goal, defeat a new evil that had come to the world. Οσημαδεμένος, or The Scarred One. They set off and Madelyn started to fall for the dashing hero whorode his stubborn winged horse. He had even taken her flying on it one night. That was incredible.Maybe she was falling for the guy, but she really didn't have time to think much about it. Soon theyacross their enemy and Madelyn had to do some pretty insane things to make it even POSSIBLE tohave a shot at killing the thing. It was massive and hideous and incredibly strong. Sure bothBellaphorn and her were the best at camp but even they couldn't do anything. Helia had gottenseverely injuried and she had to stay on the outer edges of the beasts cave. Madelyn had carried herthere herself while Bellaphorn had kept the thing at bay. She had bandaged her up the best shecould but she worried her healing powers weren't enough to save her best friend. Bellaphorn hadyelled for her help and she had to leave her alone. She had charged in and fought bravely against themonster but it wounded her and Bellaphorn to a point where she could barely stand. But still shefought on. She would do her friends and dad proud. She, in an epic battle, climbed onto Pegasusand charged the beast's one weak spot and succeeded. But, at a cost. The monster managed to getits hooked claws on her and she went flying back. She had watched as the thing died and thenBellaphorn running up and trying to carry her to safety but it was no use. He had set her up against astone wall and tried without success. He called her name over and over but she slowly faded away.and thats how she got to Elysuim. But your probably wondering, "Why didn't anyone know hername? Seems like she would've been hailed a hero." Well she wasn't. In fact, Bellaphorn, whoseemed like he cared a lot about her, turned out to be a jerk and he took all the credit since shecouldn't testify.But your wondering "But wasn't he like this honorable guy from legends?" well he was, but only oneperson knows the whole story.Me.And telling it would ruin another story so i have to keep my mouth shut.And Helia? What about her? Well she lived actually. Madelyn did a great job patching her up and shesurvived, though the pain and grief of her losing her two friends and almost dying made her silent.she didn't say another word. not even when she died.Thats Madelyn's backstory. Kind of sad you know but she was a great person and acheiving Elysuimisn't an easy thing.
