Before the half-gods were born there was King Amphitryon. King Amphitryon was a man with a thirst for power and warmongering. He was once just the king of a small city but he's lust for power drove him to expand his reign. In his expansion he took his men to the shores of the Kingdom of Megara. Two massive armies faced each other, preparing for battle. Amphitryon knowing he could take his enemy struck a bargain with the rival King Galenus: the two would fight to the death, to the victor goes his adversary's kingdom and army. The two engage in combat and Amphitryon easily defeated Galenus and seized his kingdom. As his own sick custom after defeating a king Amphitryon would kill all of the reformer king's children and family. Than as the ultimate conquest he would take that king's queen as wife. By the time he had seized the Kingdom of Megara he had already conquered to other kingdoms, the Kingdom of Salamis and the Kingdom of Beotia. He had three queens, Queen Lucretia of Beotia, Queen Alcmene of Salamis and Queen Saphirra of Megara. King Amphitryon while a great warrior was a mad man and a tyrant who all three queens and his subjects loathed.
The royal queens were all forced to leave their homes and were sent to live in a palace in the city of Peristeria. Locked away in the palace the woman were left with only each other. the servants, guards and the king. Their husbands, children, family and friends had all been massacred. This tragedy that they had all lived through bonded the three queens. In desperation to end the power-hungry king's reign the three woman prayed to the goddess Juno for guidance. A woman appeared to them declaring herself to be Juno, wife of Jupiter, and prophecies that Alcmene, Lucretia and Saphirra will bear the children of gods and these children would be the savior of their people. The only other witnesses to this were the queens loyal advisers.That night, as Amphitryon celebrates another victory, Alcmene is visited by Jupiter, Saphirra by Neptune and Lucretia by Apollo. Nine months later each queen on the same day gives birth. Alcmene gives birth to a healthy baby boy named Ajax, Saphirra a beautiful baby girl named Dalila and Lucretia births twins named Jasunr and Mira into the world.
Twenty years later, Chiron, advisor to Queen Alcmene, has become a secret mistress of Amphitryon. She acts as a lover and informant to the king telling him everything that Queen Alcmene does or speaks. Chiron wishes to be more to the king than a secret and asks that he give her gift of allowing her to bare his children, he refuses her. Enraged by this she reveals to Amphitryon that none of any of the queens' children are his telling him of the night Juno came to the three queens with her prophecies of how the four children would prove to be his downfall. In her anger she also tells how each queen laid with a god on the night they conceived. The whole conversation is overheard by Queen Saphirra's loyal advisor who runs to tell her queen as Amphitryon kills Chiron with a blade to the heart. When she finds the royal queens she tells them that Amphitryon knowns about Ajax, Dalila, Jasunr and Mira not being his and the queens run off to find there children.
When the queens find them they tell them everything including the fact that they are not only not the children of Amphitryon but of their true lineage. None of them truly believe what their mothers say thinking it to be nothing but madness. Each of the queens order their children to flee the palace and not return just as the guards charge for them. In a state of utter confusion they know that if what their mothers say is the truth that Ammphitryon will kill them all. Heartfelt final goodbyes are said before the half-gods flee the city together knowing it was the last time they would see their mothers alive again.
They stay together for a month after leaving the kingdom until they determine that they are far to great a target to stay together. Disbanding they all go their separate ways. One went north, the other south, east and west. Ajax ended up being captured and not knowing who he was he was sent to the Kingdom of Salamis were he was trained to be a gladiator. Jasunr found work in the mines doing everything to not draw attention to himself and stay under the radar. Mira coming across a starving village in the forest integrated with them and taught them the way of the bow and arrow. Dalila left land all together and went to sea. Her half-brother Triton found her claiming to be sent by their father to find her he brought her to with him the his underwater golden palace.
