He was born at home his grandmother as his midwife ,"I shall name him Kona for he is my strength and my weakness ,"his mother said as she held her in her arm . The child grew up normal but something was different with him not only was he intellectually smart for his age but he never had any illness or futal injuries even when he fell or had fatal accident as he grew something that was peculiar to many except his grandmother who seemed to know what was going on with him. It was in May during the summer holidays when everything begun changing in Kona's life he was going to turn sixteen soon that day when he came home he found a strange man talking to his grandmother and his mother was in her room crying ."What's wrong mum ?Why are you crying mum?"Kona asked his mother ."Your grandmother wants you to go with him ,and leave me ."his mother spoke at her peak of melancholy."Kona come here with your mother here we want to talk with the two of you !"his grand mum called to them ."It's okay mum there must be a reason for this let's go and see what she has to say grandma is wise and she knows whats good for us all ,"Kona said, this made his mother realise how grown a man his son had become ,he had begun speaking like the man of the house ever since he had realised the absence of a father figure in his life not only did he speak but also acted like the the man of the house .

What if she does not feel the same ?" The question built up inside him unable to find reasonable answers to even a single one.

As times went by their friendly relationship grew a rift , they begun avoiding each other , this rift grew large to the point that everyone around them noticed it , Andrew (son of Zeus)was quick to take the opportunity he tried getting close but Cleo who didn't want anyone apart from Kona sent him away tail between legs like a hyena that had stubbled into a den of a lioness with cubs .

Jack (son of Paseidon) hunged around Kona making his life a living hell like a scavenger , Kona was confused for the first time in his life he felt like a fool since he didn't know what to do .
