So please try to sympathize with me as this is my first fanfiction that I've made so far. So please leave comments, I want to know what you think! Also I want to know if I should try to continue on with the story or try something else.
My name is Ariella, and I'm fifteen, also I'm the daughter of Thanatos. Of course I didn't find out until my 13th birthday when my father finally came by for a visit.
-Flashback-
It was right after school, on a warm September day. I had just walked into my living room when I hear my mom arguing with someone in the kitchen.
"Mom, I'm home!", I yell.
All sound stops. I hear them slowly into the living room. My mom is tall with pale skin and dark hair, and dark eyes. The man next to her makes her look tan, he is as pale as a ghost with jet black hair and black eyes. He is wearing complete black and a long black cape.
"Ari, this is your father," my mom says.
"My father is dead", I replied
"Have you ever heard of the Greek gods?", the strange man asks
"Of course" I scoff
"Well my name is Thanatos, I'm the Greek god of death, and I'm your father" he explains.
"My father? What father could leave a woman and her new born child alone for 13 years and then suddenly reappear say ' I'm your father the Greek god of death'?!" I say angrily
" I'm sorry, I could not be there, but I must follow the ancient laws. I have come because you need to start training, you will be needed in the future, and depending on the power you inherited from me you may get wings like mine," he says and what I thought was a black cape turns out to be giant black wings.
"Wings? Training? Mom why did you let this nut-job in the house?" I question
"I'm sorry, honey, but he is your father and you need to go with him to start training.", my mom said with tears in her eyes.
"Fine, I go with you, but wherever we are going, I want my own room!" I say,
"That can be arranged," Thanatos says
-End Flashback-
It's now been 2 years since that day, and I've become an expert in hand-to-hand combat, weaponry, and gymnastics. I insisted on gymnastics, because I thought it might be cool to include some flips in my fighting.
Anyways, I've been living with my father in the Underworld for 2 years now, and as promised I have a room to myself and its awesome! The walls are a light gray with black floors, with dark furniture with silver accents. When I hear a know on my bedroom door, I open it to find a skeleton holding a note for me. I take the note and the skeleton crumbles, now I know it must have been pretty startling, but I got used to it after the first 3 times that happened. I open the note and it reads,
Ariella,
Come to the throne room in Hades palace, I need to speak with you about something.
Also wear something comfortable.
-Thanatos
Feeling confused, I dress in my usual black tank top and grey sweat pants with black sneakers. As I leave my room on the way to the throne room, I wonder what Thanatos could possibly need from me, that I would be needing to wear something comfortable. As I walk I'm lost in thought until find myself in front of the doors to the throne room. I enter as quietly as I can, seeing as my father and Hades are in conversation. When I get to the center of the room, I kneel on one knee and bow my head.
"Lord Hades, Father" I say
"Ah Ariella, you may rise. It seems that your father thinks that its time to see if you have enough power to gain wings like his own, if you wish to see if you do then just answer 'yes', if not then you will not get another chance", says Hades
"Yes," I reply
My father comes forward and taps his finger on my forehead. Suddenly, my body is filled with pain, more pain than I have ever felt, even when I just started my training. It felt as if my back was being ripped in half. I fall to my knees and scream, it feels like forever before my vision turns black and my body falls to the floor.
