Ω PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS: 🏔OUREA: PERSONIFICATION OF MOUNTAINS AND HILLS 🗻

Author’s note: *put head into hands* Alright, so I may or may not have went off from the usual formula (Do I even have a formula for writing these at this point?) and I think I may have made the primordial demigods here more cryptid cause they’re the literal by-product of primordial beings that are also half-mortal? I won’t be including the usual blurbs at the ending cause all of them are probably pushing the word limit Tumblr has but worry not, I made up for it by putting more storylines into the whole thing. PRIMORDIAL DEMIGODS MASTERLIST: [LINK]

Like the child of Gaea , you were created when the bones of humanity became one buried within the mountains. You lay dormant, forming and silent, until Narcissus’ blood was spilt onto your rock. The blood was absorbed in the rock and then the final piece was added. When the time was right, the rock split in half and thus you were hatched out of it. You let out a cry that shook the mountains and you wailed, with Ourea rumbled and shook you as if to rock and soothe you. Your cries were answered by The Orestiads, nymphs that inhabit rocky terrain, are possible but any notable ones if you were born and raised in an incredibly mountainous, valley-like or ravine-like, environment.

They cooed around you, marvelling at the gem you were, until a nymph who spoke no words picked you up gently and smiled at you as she cradled you. And that nymph was Echo. 

You were practically raised by the Orestiads, each cooing at you while teaching you. You would think Echo would be not so great at teaching how to speak however she helped you pronounce things together as you tried to learn how to read and talk. Turns out even if the words are a bit jumbled and less than eloquent, she can still repeat the word how it’s supposed to sound like. 

Eventually, when you developed enough of a consciousness and was able to walk heavily and steadily on your feet, Ourea rumbled to you about Gaea’s child and told you to go to their aid. Through the echoes, vibrations, and rumbles that travelled through the earth, you had an idea of where they were and set off; bidding goodbye to the Orestiads and especially Echo who didn’t want you to leave. As you set off, you travelled through the earth while getting occasional updates about the other primordial children. 

You emerged from the mountain when the child of Ouranus rudely kicked your rock in their tantrum and you tumbled into the hands of the other primordial children, all the while watching dizzily the child of Gaea launch themselves at the child of Ouranos. You went to cheer on the child of Gaea but then they started literally breaking Earth and Sky in their battle, your cheer dying with the crack of the earth, then the other primordials children started duking it all out and it was all too much. You just curled back into a ball of rock, waiting for it to die down while trying to think back to your happy place with the Orestiads.  And the next thing you knew, you got dragged into darkness and found yourself with the child of Gaea and the primordials that were following them. 

On one hand, you were already going to follow the child of Gaea and her group anyways because your primordial father said so, but on the other hand, you were having second guesses when you saw Gaea’s kid look vastly different then you and the last time you saw them; their form no longer reminiscent of a human mortal but was starting to look more monstrous. You assumed this was par of the course but as you glanced at the other primordial children, you could see their own nervous looks as the child of Gaea screamed and roared much like a monster; their behaviour snapping at them when they tried to get them to calm down. 

As you can imagine, being a child of the primordials of mountain and hills, your powers lends to more earth-based elements. You can move rocks and the ground to your will, but your specialty is making large barriers of earth that act as great defence. You can also make the mountains and hills come to your aid, moving them to your will which lends itself more as a prison or fortress depending on what you want. 

As a side effect of being raised by the Orestiads, but more specifically by Echo, you developed a very loud voice. Your screams and cries can literally make the mountains shake and in battle, you used this roar to literally blow back your foes and make them quake in fear. That is if you can gather the courage and energy to yell as much. 

Your key feature is your hardened body, that makes you more of a tank in battle. Your form is bulky and hard which can take a lot of hits but much like a pickaxe, you can only take so much damage before your protective layer peels off and you’re vulnerable to the core. However, don’t hide behind your hardened skin for your inner self, your core is just a beautiful geode that is waiting to be appreciated. Your eyes reflecting the jewel underneath.

Young Eris (ft Nyx and Echo)

I let go of her sleeve, teeth flashing in what might’ve been a smile.  Us goddesses of the dark were not skilled in such arts, the ones of Aphrodite and the nymphs above.  I was not born to lure gods to my bed.  I was not born to fall in love.

My fingers twitched.  The nymph I saw on the mountain flashed before me, her gaze sparking like flint against stone.  I knew not why I felt so drawn, why my heart beat as it never had before.  Perhaps she knew something.  Perhaps she had the keys to my fate, and was only waiting for me to grasp them.

Morpheus can wait.  I brushed past Mother with a softer, less toothy smirk.  I need to . . . I trailed off.  Wander.

Why I was keeping this secret, I didn’t know.  If it was important to me, surely it would be important to her.  But Mother only waved a hand, pointing to the mountain in the distance.  Hurry.  Gone was her warmth, and even amusement.  Eos is beginning to rouse from her rest.

I hiked up my chiton and made for the rocks, stumbling over them as my eyes scanned for my nymph.  There she was, clustered with her kin, perched on a stone as a river flowed at her feet.  She tossed back her hair, green as the moss dotting the jagged ground.  “Minthe!”  Her voice was high and bright, a lotus in full bloom.  “Have you heard what Ouranos said to Mother Gaia?”

The Goddesses and Echo The Gossip Nymph

“Why are you following me?!” the Nymph asks angrily as Persephone responds, ‘Why are you repeating everything you hear?” she asks Echo. 

“Why do you care?! do you think I care, Aphrodite, is flirting with Desire?!” she yells as Aphrodite stammers to explain herself. 

“I don’t care! I don’t care about your problems with hades and Minthe! I care about something way bigger!” 

Persephone gasps as Echo knew about her problem with Minthe.

“Echo. You gotta stop doing this or you’re gonna get yourself killed.” a goddess beside Aphrodite and Persephone said. 

“I’m not doing anything wrong!” echo exclaimed angrily at Y/n. “Yes, you are. You’re spreading rumors of Aphrodite having an “affair” with Desire of the endless and Persephone fighting Minthe over Hades!” Y/n exclaims back. 

“Well...What about you?! You’re laying with Dream of the endless! behind Zeus’s back!” she yells and the goddess gasp. 

“You have no proof of this and even if you did. I wouldn’t let you speak of it and it’s none of your business!” The goddess yelled at the nymph. 

“I swear, by the Gods keep spreading these nonsense rumors Some God or Goddess is going to curse you!” Y/n yells as the nymph runs off.

“Just leave me alone or I’ll everyone your dirty little secrets!” Echo screams.

(After Hera steals Echo’s voice) 

“Now, what have we learned?” Y/n said looking Echo dead in the eye. Echo looks sadly at her and looks down at her feet silently.

Thinking of naming the AU Iliad Echoes as it’s not a complete or fully faithful retelling of the Odyssey. It’s simply heavily inspired and there are moments and story beats that echo from the past to the present.

A man who thinks himself too clever and witty is felled by his own pride and guilt snapping at his heels in every turn.

An automation brother who thinks himself too clever and witty and he too is felled by his own pride as he loses his memories and sense of self but clings to what snippets are there. All while the guilt from his past self from before comes bearing its teeth and ready to pounce on the brother made of metal.
