What do you think of my prologue

What do you think of my prologue?
Prologue On a mountain top somewhere in Greece a goddess was giving birth as the father watched. It was snowing and as the flakes fell on her face they melted and rolled down her cheeks. With a final push and scream the child was here. “Is it a boy or a girl?” The mother asked straining her neck to see the child that the father was now holding standing in front of her. “It’s a boy” the god said stunned “but he’s not immortal like us.” And it was true the boy had no glowing aurora like the two others around him. He’d been born with a full head of thick dark brown hair and had sharp green eyes that were already alert even though he was only minutes old. Yet the eyes didn’t gleam or shine and the child couldn’t talk or move like a newly born god should be able to do so. Tears began to roll down the face of the goddess along with the snowflakes. Her eyes had taken on the abnormal color of blue in her sorrow. “It’s just as we feared then breaking my vow of virginity has cursed the child.” The father handed over the child to its mother “what shall we name him?” She looked into the child’s eyes for over a minute before saying “Xander.” With a flash of light she puts a bundle of white blankets around the child that he soon becomes comfortable in. She loved her child but knew she couldn’t hold on to him long. If her father found out about him it would be the end for the child. He would kill the boy without hesitation. “A great name for the child” he said; he really meant it too. However he knew what his love was thinking that the child needed to be hidden. “Give him back over to me I must take him away you know your father will see him soon.” It took all her will power to hand over the child she was well aware that it would probably be the last time she ever got to see him. He walked over to the mountain’s edge and whistled and a white pegasus soared out of the clouds and landed next to him. Mounting with a grace only a god could manage he was ready for flight. “Where are you going to take him” she asks suddenly knowing he won’t tell her but she has to try. “You know I won’t tell you now I have to be off” he says kicking into the pegasus and flying off into the night air. His flight is a long one that last all night; his speed is fast and constant. Most of the flight was over the Atlantic ocean this he doesn’t mind he would have preferred the Mediterranean oh well, but soon he finds a small city along the coast he figures what town could be better. Landing in the tide of the beach he dismounts the baby had slept the entire trip and it continued to do so. There was a neighborhood only a mere fifty yards away from the beach he strolls up to the nearest house leaving his ride behind. Finding the porch he sits the child down on the welcome rug in front of the door. Whipping out of thin air he makes a scroll and a pen appear in his hands. Briskly he writes down the name Xander and set it atop the child in his bundle. Later that morning Lisa and Ted Chance would find the child… thanks for the help guys I've taken it all into consideration I don't know what to do about the Hercules thing is it good or bad that it is reminding everyone of him? thanks for the help guys I've taken it all into consideration I don't know what to do about the Hercules thing is it good or bad that it is reminding everyone of him?

“You know I won’t tell you now I have to be off” --- I feel like that part could be edited so it was a more smooth...if ya know what i mean. other than that it sounded interesting and pretty cool :) reminded me of harry potter a bit though...just the whole setting the kid down a doorstep in a neighborhood part haha
5 :
kind of strange... i wasnt able to finnish it because i wasnt pulled in at all, but that is probably because it does seem like hercules and i enjoy different kinds of fantasy
6 :
nice mixture of ancient greece and modern times. seems captivating usually i skip prologues coz their boring. i know this is random but i kept thinking of feta cheese as i read this. must be hungry.
7 :

That sounds brilliant id definitely read that have you finished it? only one small suggestion for this part “Where are you going to take him” she asks suddenly knowing he won’t tell her but she has to try. “You know I won’t tell you now I have to be off” he says I would leave out the father's reply and change it to something like "he turned to face her and she knew instinctively her thoughts were right" Just so your not repeating those sentences too close together That's just my opinion though i love it very intriguing EDIT: no i wouldn't worry thats just the prologue if the reat of the story is nothing like Hercules then no one will remember

1. Don't change tenses. You started off in past progressive ("a goddess was giving birth") then you moved to present ("with a flash of lights she puts a bundle...") 2. It's not an "aurora," it's an "aura" 3. This sounds kind of like Hercules
