I have a sweet, caring and compassionate nature. I love to read and get lost in the books pretending I'm living in that world for awhile. Daydreaming comes easy to me probably too easy. Especially when I'm doing my chores, and my dad is laughing usually by the time he gets my attention back to the present. I'm not one to fight or go against anyone. I try to be friends with everyone and not exclude people.

The early origins of the Drakos family are uncertain but they probably take their name from an early warlord called Poulios Drakos (lit. transl. dragon), who was the progenitor of the family. The original village in which the Drakos family came from was Kamarina-Martanion, which still has families bearing the Drakos surname. After a failed revolt in Epirus, conducted together with Theodoros Bouas-Grivas and Malamos, other Armatoles, the chief branch of the family migrated to Souli where they were hereditary warlords of the Souliotes. Poulios Drakos' descendants remained chieftains of the Souliotes through the following centuries and his descendant Dimos Drakos was a powerful warlord who entered the Russian Army in the run-up to the Orlov Revolt. His son Georgios Drakos was a leading general of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. Georgios' descendants entered the political life of the new Kingdom of Greece and entered into marriage alliances with many other powerful political families like the Botsaris family

Before this though it was rumored that the Drakos family were descendents of Atlantis. Plato told the story of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human. They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center.

Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.

Santorini, known since ancient times as Thira, is one of the most famous islands in the world. The fact that you can sit in front of the caldera, enjoy local dishes, a drink or a coffee while gazing at the remarkable beauty of an active volcano is priceless!

The island is actually a group of islands consisting of Thira, Thirassia, Aspronisi, Palea and Nea Kameni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades.

Following the volcanic eruption mentioned earlier in this post, many believe the destruction of Santorini was the inspiration behind the lost continent of Atlantis, which is often described as, a ‘great civilisation disappearing beneath the waves.’

For centuries the Drakos have lived in Santorini. They ruled the island and made friends and enemies. My great great grandfather fell in love with a lowly servant girl, and had a child with her. His father forbade him to have anything to do with her. So in the dead of night he gathered his belongings, the woman he loved, and their child. Boarding a ship in darkness, and fleeing Santorini to live his own life.

Unfortunately his father caught up with him. In the chaos that ensued his beloved was knocked overboard along with their baby. He dove in after them only able to rescue his baby with the rough sea. His father fished him out, and in a rage he attacked his father. In the end his father stood over him with a sword to his throat, and banished him. Saying he was a traitor to his own family. He went to kill the child to punish his child even more, but he was unable to do so as he looked down at the squalling baby laying on the deck of the boat.

The ship sailed on with my grieving great great grandfather, and his son. The ship docked in the Americas, and he left the ship with his son, and made a new life for him in what became the United States of America making a name for themselves here.

As for my mother's side of the family Andreas I know my grandparents came to America when my mother was a toddler. She has no idea or if she had any family from before. Her parents died when she was a teenager while she was at prep school. She knows they came from Greece, and that's it. Her parents had told her she was better off not knowing their history that it could be deadly if she were to look into it so it was better to leave it in the past. She wasn't even for sure if Andreas was her real surname or not. She was curious sure, but after she met my father at the private school in New York they attended, her priorities changed. Marrying him the day after graduation, and starting to have a family of their own. They became bounty hunters working as a team, and became quite legendary as the Drakos Bounty Hunters. They also went on to college and got their teaching degrees. Both of them work as teachers, but my father was disowned from his family when he became a Son of Anarchy soon after graduating from college.

My mother was a big buff of the Greek Goddesses and Gods so us kids were named after them. Starting with my older sister Aite. Astraea was born two years after Aite. Next came Artemis a year later. After her came Antheia. Next in line was Aphrodite. They had settled on Galveston Island shortly after they were married. My parents raised us on a teacher's salary, as well as bounty hunting money, which sometimes was a lot of money, and other times not that much of a bounty. Which to be honest isn't really a salary it's called a bounty. Mom also comes from old money so she wouldn't have to work if she didn't want to.

Two years later my sister Apate was born. Apollo was the next year, and a year after that I was born, and I'm Alectrona. My parents waited a couple of years before having Ares. three years later the baby boy Atlas was born. With him that made ten of us kids. Dad was always getting teased by the Sons about having so many kids, but he just grinned and didn't say anything. For the most part we all got along, but there was the occasional fight or two between us. Which usually got broken up pretty fast. I was a year old when my family moved to Stockton, California with my parents getting better teaching jobs.

Our family moved into a cozy old Victorian home in a small quiet neighborhood. We quickly became fast friends with the kids next door growing up. Romy Hart was the same age as me and we became best friends. We were in the same class in grade school all the way through. It wasn't till junior high that we were in separate classes. That took some getting used to. If I wasn't hanging out with Romy or out for sports my nose was usually buried in a book. Or I was daydreaming. Speaking of daydreaming I more than often found myself sitting in the office for getting caught daydreaming more than once during a day. Romy or one of my brothers was always nudging me out of my daydream. Sometimes it took me awhile to get pulled out of them so lost in my own little world. Mom told me to try and keep my head in the game while dad would just laugh.

Romy and I will be starting our sophomore year this year. I can't wait. Then dad dropped a bombshell that we were moving. I put up a fuss saying I wasn't going not when Romy was going to be here in Stockton. Dad just smirked and said well then Romy will be lonely without you up in Washington. It took a few minutes to sink in what he was trying to tell me. Yes I am a blonde, and have some really dumb gullible moments. I'm really smart though which surprised my parents. I had a 4.0 GPA, and helped my brother with their homework if they needed it.

Well I guess it's just a waiting game now. Even though my parents are getting new jobs teaching at a brand new school he still has to transfer. Same as Romy's older brothers. So until that goes through guess were still her. As long as I get to stay friends with Romy I don't care where we are. It's exciting to think about going to a brand new high school that no classes have been held in before. My sisters can even go to college there with remote learning. Though there are on some site professors teaching college there I had heard my parents talking about it. My parents were planning a trip up there this weekend to check out the house the Astors were getting us and the new school. I begged to go along and they finally gave in telling me as long as I didn't get lost in the new school. I rolled my eyes not realizing how big it was going to be.
