#Horus: … I am willing to make one (1) exception

[dark-elf-writes]

I personally think that if Carter got with any Greek person Horus would be so pissed because “I HAVE SO MANY PERFECTLY GOOD FOLLOWERS AND YOU HAD TO CHOOSE A GREEK?!” but in a very Horus manner (I haven’t read the books in a while sorry) because he is still bitter about the Greeks

It’s a bit of both. If Carter had fallen for any other Greek it would be a much bigger problem between the two of them but even Horus can grudgingly admit that the little nymph is something truly different from any Greek he has ever known… and it doesn’t hurt that Percy is Percy and her brand of chaos would appeal to… most war gods.

That being said Carter never hears the end of choosing a Greek of all people and there’s a lot of mental muttering about Carter attempting to ruin Egypt right after saving it whenever Percy isn’t in direct eyeshot.

biography

past: Okay, so this is where it gets complicated because Kendra has reincarnated 206 times over 4000 years. So there is a LOT of past history there. Basic story is, in her original life, Kendra was the Egyptian High Priestess Chay’Ara who had fell in love with Prince Khufu. A Priest and Adviser to the King, Hath’Set, discovered the forbidden romance between the pair and struck them down in jealousy as he wanted Chay’Ara for himself. As they lay dying, the lovers prayed to Horus to protect them in the next life so that they may find each other again.

There was a meteor shower that night which held strange powers. It was these powers that granted Chay’Ara and Khufu the power of reincarnation as well as hawk like gifts and abilities. (They got wings. They can fly. Badass, right?). However, the meteors also cursed Hath’Set with immortality and growing stronger each time he killed a reincarnation of Chay’Ara and Khufu.

206 reincarnations later, Chay’Ara was now Kendra Saunders. She moved to Central City in 2016 and took a job at CC Jitters as a Barista, completely unaware of her past lives. There, she met Cisco, they dated briefly and he was able to vibe off her the whole Hawk Goddess thing. Just as they were getting comfortable, along came Carter Hall (Khufu’s reincarnation) in a kind of rude and demanding fashion. He seem to expect Kendra to remember their lives and drop everything and go away with him. Didn’t exactly go that way, except it kind of did when she ended up saying goodbye to Cisco and leaving for St. Roch with Carter.

Carter tried to push along the memories of their past selves but Kendra was stubborn and insisted she remember in her own time. It was complicated but Kendra knew she loved him - just wasn’t going to admit it. Then Rip Hunter came along and offered them the chance to get rid of Vandal Savage (the name Hath’Set was calling himself these days) for good. Kendra didn’t want to go but Carter made her a bet that if she could beat him in a fight, they wouldn’t take Rip up on his offer. 

She lost. So aboard the Waverider they went along with other “Legends”.

One of the first trips they took was back to 1975, where they met Aldus Boardman. Aldus turned out to be Kendra and Carter’s son from a previous reincarnation, who grew up orphaned and became a professor and expert in the mysterious events that occurred around Chay’Ara and Khufu’s first death.

Suddenly, Rip got notice that the Waverider was under attack and Aldus was asked to continue sharing his information aboard the ship. Sadly, Aldus was mortally wounded in the crossfire when making his way to the ship. Kendra was devastated at the death of her son and would only face more heartache when two days after Aldus’ death, Carter was killed by Vandal Savage when the Legends tried to attack him head on. Father and son were buried next to each other in a small funeral attended only by the Legends, and Kendra slipped into a wild depression and had to be sedated.

After some time, Kendra came around and while she still mourned the loss of her loved ones, she knew that the mission to stop Vandal Savage was more important. She trained with Sara and the two formed a friendship, teaching each other things. Kendra also remembered her previous life as a welder and helped Jax and Ray with repairs on the ship. Jax was sweet and developed a crush on her but it was Ray that Kendra slowly began to develop deeper feelings for. Those feelings came to a head when they were stuck in the past for two years and eventually Ray proposed. Kendra said yes but she later began wondering if she was allowed to love someone other than Carter. 

After a visit to the town of Salvation, Kendra heard word that a past reincarnation of herself lived outside the town. She rode out and talked with her and learned that her and Carter were destiny and terrible things happened to anyone that came between them - therefore Ray was in danger. Kendra kind of didn’t listen to the warning at first but eventually destiny won out and she called off the engagement.

Then Savage found Carter’s next reincarnation - Scythian Torvil - and manipulated and used him against the Legends. Kendra somehow managed to awaken some memories in Scythian, who then turned on Savage just in time to assist the Legends in achieving their goal and ridding the world of the evil dictator for good.

present: With Savage gone, Kendra decided to leave the Legends and help Scythian - who had adopted his past life’s name, Carter Hall - regain more of his memories. They headed back to St. Roch and it was hard for Kendra having their roles reversed but she was determined to help Carter. Unfortunately, Carter had a lot of fears to overcome and took off without word to Central City. 

Kendra gave him some time but soon followed and while she still was insistent she help Carter, the pair decided to live separately to avoid the awkwardness of St. Roch. It took a little bit more time, but eventually feelings and memories resurfaced. Not everything, and it was by no means perfect, but the pair decided to take things slow and began dating. 

The quiet life was kind of nice, but Kendra had had the taste of adventure and decided to rejoin the Legends along with Carter. She always had the instinct to help and protect and being a Legend was the best way she could think of to do just that.

para sample:

The smell of brewing coffee hit her senses along with the clashing of dishes and general chatter of the coffee shop’s patrons. Despite the low pay and being hit on at least twice a shift, Kendra missed CC Jitters. Not exactly enough to go and beg for her barista job back, but just the welcoming atmosphere felt a little like coming home to a place she belonged.

Going up to the counter, Kendra didn’t recognize the new barista - not that it surprised her, turnover in staff was always high in these sorts of places - and looked at the menu board. “I don’t even know where to begin with those new items.” She mused to herself before placing her order. “I’ll have just a chocolate malt shake with a tomato and cheese bagel, thanks.”

After the barista took her order, Kendra moved to the end of the counter and waited for it to be ready. Her eyes looked around the room, wondering if she’d spot a familiar face in the crowd.
