I heard soft footsteps approaching. I looked towards the source and saw three individuals. One male and two women. While two individuals looked like a couple, he couldn't take his eyes off this beautiful woman who seared glasses inside a house. She was the most beautiful person I have laid eyes on if not for her ever moving hair. Snake for hair; this was my new biological mother.
Unlike in the movies, she had the most amazing looking honey brown skin, which looked as if it glowed; thankfully I couldn't see her eyes. However, if I'm her son, would I be able to be turned into stone because it said I could heal people from it, shouldn't I be immune? She held me, as if I were the most precious thing in her life.
"I held you in my wound for centuries and now that you're here, I can't help but love you, even if you were a product of that man. I love you with every fiber of my being. To protect you, I can't stay with you little one and I hope you understand when you get older. It was to protect my precious little boy," Medusa said in the most melodiously spoken voice I could ever imagine.
I decided from then on that her head was definitely not going on some damn shield. I wanted to look her in the eyes without her hesitation at being able to hurt me. While she holds me, a tiny droplet appears from nowhere and went into her temple. Startled, she shook and her glasses fell. Frozen in fear, thinking she would have killed me. But I wasn't turning to stone, nor were the people in front of her.
"My little McCoy, you are a walking miracle. I wish I could stay with you forever, but I make sure that I visit from time to time so you never forget me as your mother."
With that she left after introducing me to people whom I learned were my new adopted parents. Tasha and James were their names. They were a great-looking couple, but not as beautiful as my new mother however but they had great genes. James was Dominican and black, while Tasha was Puerto Rican and black, they could be models. People dubbed them Medusa followers who sympathized with her and abandoned their faith in Athena, a seemingly new religious faction. Her newfound status as a Titaness allowed Medusa to feel the literal faith her followers had in her. During her pregnancy, she discovered she possessed greater strength and immortality than before; she believed her baby caused this, as he healed her curse, though she retained the ability to petrify at will. She was now as powerful as her sisters, which were excited now they wouldn't have to worry about her dying one day. The conflict over her child didn't stop them from promising to protect him. Even though they loathe Poseidon with every inch of their reptilian heart, especially Athena, when she left her in solidarity.

True to her promise, she came every holiday and birthday, though she could not stay long or her scent along his own would amplify and cause powerful beings to take notice. I had the system down pack; it would give random task for skill level ups and gaining new skill; it was three years and being a toddler again is no joke. At first I had a hard time reading, but with a drop of water I could read and understand information faster than I thought was possible. I kept it secret that I was older than I seemed, though I always was in touch with my inner child so it became instinctive to crave fun, sweets and childish laughter.
I received my first task when my family took me to the zoo for my fifth birthday. It told me to release a black snake from the small glass exhibit. And in return, it will enhance every ability I have and gain another. Although I didn't blink the glass away, however I break it with my fangs, which were awesome for pranking people when the mysterious fog let me. Nobody believed it was real and that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
After I pierced to glass, it shattered like it was a Prince Rupert's Drop. The snake thanked me and sneak into my pocket, seeing as it was small. It hated being caged, and it was only a baby. However, it was a lot more dangerous than it seemed. It was a basilisk. Its very breath could cause something to turn to stone, and a terrible death caused by its venomous fangs. It was a good thing I had it and it imprinted on me for being able to release it. I named him Slytherin because how could I not? We got along great because we both shared fangs and surprisingly, my adoptive parents supported me. They treated me as if I was royalty, but still were firm with outrageous things.
Speaking of fangs, I scared plenty of people over the years because of it; my adoptive parents say I'm a little adorable menace to society. I had a love of jumping out from objects that kept my body hidden and scaring the daylights out of people. When I don't get yogurt or bananas pudding, I hiss and shake the very foundation of the mansion; sometimes I was a brat because i was bored and wanted to test my powers subtly. I know I should be better but if you think about it, this is how large margin of children act. They crave attention and to get a thrill out of things. And I was the best at causing laughter.
Unfortunately, good things have to end and I had to go to school; my parents wanted me to go to a private school but I cause a tantrum once I saw how snobbish the little children were. I could not give in and after many arguments with the house shaking later, it the first time I lost an argument with them.
I was officially a student of the Yancy Acedemy. It was Private School for special and rich children. So anyone who was struggling not to get kicked out or were selfishly rich was there; or a Demi-titian that needed to be hidden went there. I may be a work to deal with, but I wasn't a prick. Of course, my parents made sure I didn't use my powers outside their care, and they hired a bodyguard in disguise to help keep me safe. I checked my status to see what I earned.
