*Chapter 1*

I Battle the God of War

Yeah, don't yell at me for thinking this but…I hate all the gods! Yes, the twelve Olympians! Gods! How longs does it take to get this through mortals minds! It was a breezy day as I remember it. I was walking down the hall at my new school. A huge motorcycle drove up. The man he was huge! He wore these sunglasses and through them his eyes burned fire in his sockets. I can remember his first words to me perfectly: "Are you Hunter Graves?" he asked.

"Y-yes sir, whatever your name is" I said feeling angry. The guy laughed. I remember my first actual fight with a god like it was yesterday (but it was two weeks ago).

"Don't call me sir! Call me Lord Ares!" snapped Ares. I was blown to the floor.

"Stop that brother!" cried the most beautiful girl in the school, Amanda.

"Can't you stay outa my way Aphrodite!" cried Ares.

"Um…Lord Ares, who are you two?" I asked.

"God of War" said Ares.

"Goddes of Love" said Aphrodite.

"What country are you from?" I asked backing away.

"Ha, ha! Greece! You are very much needed there" said Ares.

"Why me?" I asked crashing into a locker.

"Zues wants you" said Aphrodite.

"Zues…Mythology god of the sky" I said staring at Amanda noticing she had gotten as tall as Ares.

"Just come with us boy!" cied Ares grabbing me up.

"Cruiser of Love or Motorcycle of War?" Aphrodite asked.

"I'm going with you."

What scared me was seeing the heart shaped ride. It was filled with fluffy pick interior.

"Like it?" asked the goddess I was riding with.

"Uh…it's pink" I said.

"I was gonna get it red but Getta was being lazy" said the goddess of love.

"Getta?" I asked.

"The minor god that made this car!" cried Aphrodite.

"So, if the gods are real…that must mean Kronos is real?" I asked.

"That's why we need you. You are a powerful Half-blood and we can use you on our fight against him" said the goddess looking at me.

"I thought Zues killed him?" I asked.

"Another mortal myth? He's still alive. He can't die unless he is killed by a half-blood like you" said Aphrodite.

I was lost. Her eyes were beautiful. She was calling me closer. But she was like a million years old and I was only…how old was I? I had totally forgot staring into the goddess eyes.

We still hadn't noticed Ares was throwing daggers at us…well I hadn't but she did.

"What's a half-blood?" I asked.

"Mortal parent Olympian parent" said the goddess.

"Do you have any half-bloods?" I asked wanting to learn more.

"No. Married to Hepaetus" said the goddess.

It was a strong felling…being in here…Amanda…I mean Aphrodite (used to calling her Amanda) but still you get the point. A lovely radition came off her. Ares tore off the door and ordered me out.

"I think Zues told you not to make him fall in love" said Ares.

"I didn't mean…" started Aphrodite.

"Who cares! Let me kill the boy!" cried Ares withdrawing his sword.

"Take this!" cried Amanda (did it again!) handing me a sword. How was I, a mortal, going to take on a god!

I jumped on his arm. "Geroff!" cried Ares.

He through me in the air. I soared to his face. He held up his sword. I was about to go straight through it! I spiraled. I held out my weapon. My sword drove through Ares' left eye. Golden blood (later I found out it was called Ichor) shot everywere.

"GGGRRRAAAHHH!" cried Ares. He fell to the ground. There was a small earthquake.

Aphrodite grabbed my hand and ran into the Cruiser of Love. She through me into my seat and we took off.

"Why does he hate me?" I asked the goddess in the seat by me.

"He wants to kill all Half-bloods. Says they don't deserve to live. Except his, of course" she said.

"First day with the gods and one already hates me"

"He hates all Half-bloods. He has some minor gods on his side so you'll have to watch out for them" she said. I strongly remember this conversation. I mean, you'd remember every detail if you talked to the goddess of love.

Soon we came upon a motel. I paid for me a seprate room because I could not stand it with Aphrodite. I laid down on my soft pillow. Fethers was in it. I had a dream that Ares had my neck, hard.

It's either you or him! cried Ares.

Take me! cried Aphrodite.

A grim smile spread over Ares face.

No! I yelled. Ares withdrew his sword. I jumped up. Aphrodite was in trouble. I had to stop it. Me son of…who ever my father was! (I have a mortal mother) had to save the Olympians from Ares. My dream didn't give that much clues but, there's a spoiler for you!
