Author's note: Hey what's up guys and welcome to another story, well mainly a collection of one shots that are designed not for long readers. Since on my poll, Riptide got 50% and Aegis got 50%, I will do both, with one chapter for Aegis, and one for Riptide. On with the chapter!
Chapter one: Aegis I.
Her eyes, sharp and grey, were literally piercing the shield as she examined every bit of it in awe. This shield was golden, sleek, lightweight and very strong. The golden decorations and silver outcrop gleaming in the torchlight of her ancient temple. She was thinking about whether or not she really wanted to do this.
Aegis.
It was perfect for her, as she thought of it. She would proudly announce it's name in the face of battle and make the enemy know and fear the very name, as it would be wielded by her. It had a medusa face, making the enemy flinch and tremble in cowardice.
No monster would dare attack her once it was done.
She then set off into the mortal world, in hopes of finding a special someone, a relative and make sure she would keep it safe.
Hesitant about her decision, she flew off Olympus, into the park where a boy and a girl were sleeping.
The girl had raven hair and sky blue eyes. Odd for a daughter of Zeus. The girl was nesting on a piece of old cardboard and her leather jacket was ripped in places. There was a long bandage that was quickly wrapped around her wrist.
The boy was sleeping, unaware of what was going on. His sandy hair was untidy, exactly what a son of Hermes would look like.
Athena sat on the ground, pondering whether or not to give the shield to her. Her father after all, begged to give his daughter the shield. But in the end, she decided that it was out of sympathy, not of parentage that the goddess would help the girl.
The shield transformed into a bracelet, as the goddess silently wept and placed the bracelet on the ground.
She softly whispered to the girl: "It's name is Aegis. Keep it safe. Please." Then, with a tear in her eye, she flew off into the dark, night sky, where her half sister would be flying across the world, her black hair was swept in her face, covering the sad expression she wore after giving up her prized possession.
She flew into Olympus, where several people noticed her sad expression, but didn't say anything. Athena walked into her temple, then her red, puffy eyes began to close and she fell asleep. She could only think of one thing before she fell asleep. Aegis.
Well, that's one of my Aegis chapters down, next one will be Riptide. Stay tuned for more and check out my other story, the Kin of 3. See you guys later!
