Hurrah! I'm here with yet another Smite Story! Not an idea, but a story! This takes places PRIOR to the events of Smite: Civil War. Meaning this story takes place in the same universe. Only this time, it revolves around the two OC Sisters of the story, Astrid and Myra. People actually ended up LOVING these two, and they were my first ever OC's!

Some people did want to know more about their backstory and lives before the events of Smite: Civil War, due to the short flashbacks. So I'm here to take you through the lives of Myra and Astrid before they found out about their powers, and before spending their time in a war between the Gods.

It is recommended to have read Smite: Civil War before reading this story. You know, so you know who this entire thing is about.

Within a casual village in the Greek Pantheon, not too far away from the entrance to Mt. Olympus, lived a married couple. Mayura, a saleswoman, she made and sold some of the finest silk and cloth in the entire Greek Pantheon, at least for a human. And a man named Adonis, not the god, but a lumberjack.

Mayura, a kind and gentle soul, caring for everything and everyone, always trying to do the best for her family. Adonis, a man of pride and courage, strong and tall, honesty is his virtue, a man to look up to.

The married couple had two children, first came a black haired girl, the hair color of Adonis. They named her Astrid, after the first letter of her father's name.

One year later came another girl, a brown haired girl, the hair color of Mayura. They named her Myra, after the first letter of her mother's name.

The family had a steady income, they were doing well. Until rumors began to spread about a war between the Gods. The Elysian Uprising, and the Old Order.

Humanity was in constant fear, which didn't help the economy, enthusiasm, and mood. Adonis wanted to keep his family safe, so he taught himself the art of combat. Using his strength, he could easily wield a sword. And one of the daughters, looked up to this.

"Wow! You're so strong dad!" Myra giggled, she watched her father strike a practice dummy.

"That's awesome!" Astrid shouted, she carefully observed her father's posture and footwork, the way he held and struck with the sword.

"Adonis, please. Not in front of the girls. Come on you two, dinner is ready." Mayura smiled.

"Woohooo! I'm starving!" Astrid grinned; she raced her sister to the dinner table.

"Haha! I win!" She teased Myra, who hopped into her seat next to her.

"No fair, you had a head start!" Myra pouted.

Adonis and Mayura sat down at the dinner table; they began to talk as the sisters ate their food.

"How's the business doing?"

"Ugh...It's hard. Lumber isn't selling too well. People are taking these rumors seriously; they're buying steel and iron to reinforce and protect their homes, and are even investing in weapons and combat training. I don't believe this...What about you?"

"With all this happening...People don't have time to make clothes and knit! My cloth isn't selling well either...But at least I have material to make more new clothes for these two." Mayura smiled at her two daughters.

"Mm...Yummy!" Myra happily ate everything on her plate, except for the vegetables.

"Myra...Eat your vegetables." Mayura smiled warmly.

"But...I don't like veggies..YUCK!"

Astrid jumped out of her seat and placed her clean plate in the dishwasher, she hugged her sister.

"Come on lil sis! You have to eat your vegetables so you can be awesome and strong when you grow up, like dad!"

Myra looked at her father and smiled a big smiled. "I want to be awesome!"

She ate em.

"Astrid...She's such a role model." Adonis whispered to his wife.

"I know. I've seen her defend Myra from the older kids at school too. I guess she has a golden heart...Just like her father." Mayura smiled warmly.

"I...Heh...I guess she does..." Adonis chuckled.

Astrid helped Myra put her plate in the dishwasher, and then pushed her outside to play.

Mayura sighed. "Adonis...What are we gonna do? We're already running low on money...How are we gonna pay for rent and food?"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way to pull through. I promise. Meanwhile, you need to keep practicing your archery."

Mayura picked up her bow and arrows. She stepped out into the backyard, away from Astrid and Myra, and aimed at her target.

Myra heard the arrow strike the dummy in the head no too far away.

"Woah! Mommy did you do that!?"

"Mhm! Maybe you can learn how to do it someday! It's called a bow, a bow and arrow."

Myra's eyes sparkled. "I like bows..." She thought of her favorite blue bow that she always wore in her hair.

Adonis smiled at his daughters, Astrid glaring at her father's sword.

"Hm."

"She always was a bit of a tomboy. Even in school she hangs out with boys." Mayura smiled, she knew what was up.

"Well, maybe when she's older I can teach her a thing or two."

"I think she would like that."

"For sure. Our girls will be ready when wartime comes around." Adonis said sternly.

A few months later...

"Okay Myra...That's how you make a slingshot alright? I already explained how to use it. Give it a try."

Myra held the slingshot in her tiny hands; she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small stone.

"Like...this?"

Myra loaded in the stone, she pulled back the elastic, her target was in the center of the Y shape. She could hear Astrid behind her, training with Adonis using wooden blades.

"Release it."

She did as told, the glass bottle that was her target shattered into pieces.

Bullseye.

"YAY!" Myra cheered, she hugged her mother in happiness.

Someone was watching the girls from a small distance away, and they weren't too happy.

"Hmph. That wasn't cool at all! Right guys?"

A boy with ruffled up brown hair stood outside of the houses fence. Along with three other kids.

"Yeah, she's totally lame; she'll never be as cool as you Jack!" A boy with blonde hair cheered.

"Okay Myra...That's enough practice for today. Go upstairs and wait for me in the shower, there's school tomorrow." Mayura held her daughters shoulders, she spotted the kids outside the fence.

"Okay!" Myra ran off.

Mayura walked over to the fence where the four kids were.

"Hello there! Is there something you need?"

"W-What?! Um...No ma'am!" Jack panicked.

"Oh, okay then. Don't you all have somewhere to go? It's getting dark out." Mayura raised an eyebrow.

The kids didn't bother to answer; they all ran off down the street.

"Jack? What's wrong?" A young girl in the group asked, her name was Tabia.

"I lied to you guys, that slingshot is super cool. I want it. I'm gonna steal it from her tomorrow at school."

"But she's only in kindergarten. We're in first grade with her older sister! You'll never get it." Another boy crossed his arms.

"What do you mean? That'll only make things easier."

The next day...

"Alright Myra...Here, take your slingshot to school. In case you get bothered by anyone alright? Only use it when you're sure you're in trouble. Okay?"

"What?! What are you doing Mayura?" Adonis asked, surprised.

She turned to look at her husband. "There were some children outside the fence last night, watching Myra use her slingshot. I don't like the way they were looking at her. It's just in case Adonis."

"Fine...But there's no way Astrid is bringing her dagger, that thing could actually hurt someone."

"Whoever said anything about Astrid?" Mayura snapped.

The sisters dashed down the street to their school, Myra somehow always going a bit faster than Astrid.

They walked through the gate, and entered the building.

"Okay Myra, see you in recess!" Astrid hugged her sister, she walked into her classroom, Jack, Tabia, and the two other boys walked in after her.

Myra walked into her classroom; she was happy, her old teacher was finally coming back from her absence. The substitute teacher was getting boring. Myra noticed something weird about her teacher, her belly was...bigger.

"Mrs. Crimson? Why is your belly getting bigger? Are you sick?" Myra asked.

The teacher smiled as she looked down at her young student. "You're too young to understand my dear, now go sit down."

"I'm not too young! I promise!"

The teacher rolled her eyes and smirked. "Okay fine, I'm having a child!"

She gasped, her face brightened. "You're preggy!"

The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Well then. Your parents taught you quick. Yes, yes I am!"

"What's gonna be her name...?"

"It's going to be a boy dear; I'm planning to name him Logan."

"Ooh...That's a cool name...The Wolverine..."

"What was that?"

"Nothing! Bye!"

Recess...

"Okay, first we scare her. Then we ask her to hand over the slingshot. Got it?" The boy with ruffled brown hair explained.

"Okay, you first Jack." A boy behind him said.

Jack clenched his weak child fists; he walked up behind Myra in the playground, his friends behind him.

"Hey you! Kindergartener!"

Myra automatically felt intimidated; she slowly turned around, shaking with fear.

"What's wrong? You scared of me? HA! Come on, I'm just trying to be your friend!" Jack shouted, Myra flinched in the volume of his voice.

"G-Go away! I don't want to hurt you!"

Jack felt a little worried, the last thing he wanted was to get a rock to the forehead. He remembered Myra's surprising accuracy when she was training. He envisioned the bottle being his skull.

But he kept going.

"Hurt me? What are you gonna do? You're just a little girl!"

Myra began to reach into her pocket, her slingshot in the waiting.

The boys kept making fun of her, Tabia was making a slashing motion across her neck using her finger.

"So what do ya say? Wanna be our friend?" Jack laughed, almost getting ready to tell Myra to hand over the slingshot.

"Go away!"

Astrid was under the slide, competing for the title of the best hider. But she couldn't resist the sound of her sister's voice in danger. Her eyes darted around, she grit her teeth in anger when she spotted Jack and his friends bothering Myra.

"Gh-COME ON! We know you have a slingshot! Hand it over!"

Just then, Astrid dashed out from under the slide, and then slid in front of Myra in her defense.

"HEY! What do you guys think you're doing?" Astrid yelled angrily, the children's eyes widened in surprise.

Jack growled. "Back away Astrid, I want that slingshot, and I'm planning to get it."

"Wanna bet? MYRA RUN!" Astrid suddenly yelled.

She did, she turned and ran towards the far end of the playground, away from the slide and towards the monkey bars.

"GET HER!"

To the teachers, it looked like an innocent game of Tag, but Astrid was trying to keep her sister from getting robbed.

Jack, Tabia, and the two other boys ran after Myra. Astrid tried to hold them back, but they just shoved her aside.

The fourth boy, he had glasses and red hair, slim and light. He turned the corner to see Myra trying to climb the monkey bars.

"Got you!"

"OH NO YOU DON'T!"

Astrid came up behind him and bashed him into the ground, he face-planted into the woodchips, and began to try and find his glasses that had fallen off.

"One down, three to go."

The third boy, with the blonde hair charged after Myra, he was fast.

"Climb! Faster!"

Astrid tripped the boy as he ran past her, but he got back up and grabbed Myra's leg.

"Get down here!"

Myra fell on her back.

"NO!" Astrid yelled, a deep fury in her voice.

She felt something, a fire deep inside her. She felt her eyes get watery, she rubbed them, then they were completely fine.

"What was that...? OH WHATEVER! MYRA!"

Astrid watched as Myra slapped the blonde boy, and then ran past him. Tabia had her cornered, Jack to the right of her.

"HUPH! AAHHH!"

Myra juked Tabia so hard that she fell on her stomach, Jack charged after her.

"I HAVE YOU NOW!"

Myra used a pole to make her turning more acute, she hit a left and ran towards another pole.

"Come and get me!"

Jack ran after Myra, who then spun around the pole and came back around, she pushed Jack forward using all her strength, making him hit his head on a brick wall he stumbled into.

"AHH!" Jack held his head in pain, and began to cry.

"Uh-Oops..."

"Huh?" Astrid turned to see the scene; she was making the blonde haired boy help the red head find his glasses.

"Come on kids! Recess is over! OH!"

Astrid grabbed Myra's shoulder. "Come on let's go! The teacher doesn't have to know about this."

The sisters were the first back inside the building.

Back at home...

"So how was school?" Mayura asked.

"It was awesome mom! Some first graders tried to steal my slingshot!"

"WHAT?!" Mayura and Adonis said simultaneously.

"It was so much fun mom! Astrid pushed this kid, who lost his glasses, then I made this girl fall, and then I made another boy run into a wall!"

Myra's parents stared at her with wide open jaws.

"Heehee, Myra fought for herself, with my help of course." Astrid nudged Myra, who giggled.

Mayura sighed. "Ah...Well, at least she's fine."

"Good, they work well together as a team. That'll help them. We'll keep training them on their combat skills and weapon usage as well." Adonis responded.

"Adonis...I don't like teaching our little girls how to fight...They shouldn't have to. They're innocent." Mayura said silently, she watched as her daughters playfully kitty fought, and pushed each other.

"EAT IT!" Myra grabbed a spoonful of mashed potatoes and threw it at Astrid.

"ACK!"

"Well...These rumors are getting bad. I fear that in a few years, the two sides will finally break out in a horrible war. If humanity is in the middle of a war between the Gods...We're going to get ravaged. We need to know how to defend ourselves." Adonis said sternly.

"But-"

"No buts. You want our daughters to have a future, right?"

"Y-Yes..."

"Then we need to do this. For their sake."

"Okay...But that doesn't mean I'll like it."

Adonis turned to see Astrid and Myra wrestling on the stairs.

"You don't have to like it."

That's it for chapter one! Hope you all enjoyed ;)
