As soon as she pulled me into her room, I realized something was wrong. She would've never willingly tried to seduce me. She looked drunk, or enchanted. "Natalie",I grumbled. Natalie is the daughter of Eros, Greek god of love. She has the same kind of bow and arrows as her father, and this allows her to do the same kind of magic. Now I knew it was a prank. "Miranda",I said unsteadily,"you're not yourself". Miranda's mother is the Greek goddess Athena, goddess of wisdom, skill and war. Miranda was smart, talented, wise, beautiful, not to mention my crush. Now I knew it was a prank I could see the glowing luminescent shaft of an arrow protruding from the small of her back. Natalie knows I like Miranda, and keeps making me think she has finally felt the same way about me, but every time I get my hopes up Natalie arises from her hiding place to laugh at me. This time she came out of a room down the hall."that's it", I said letting go of Miranda's shoulders and conjuring my staff out of thin air. You see my name is David and my mom is Hecate, goddess of magic and witchcraft, so I'm a battle Mage. In conclusion to this badass statement, I hurled a fireball down the hall at Natalie. I could see her scramble back into her hiding place, narrowly avoiding my flaming projectile.
"Ok,ok, I'm sorry." She yelled. With my staff raised I watched her exit the room and stroll down the hall the opposite way saying,"people these days, can't take a fricken joke!". From where I stood I could here Miranda moaning my name. As soon as I turned around to confront her I was knocked over by Matt son of Hermes, messenger of the gods.
"Sorry David, gotta go, Kevin is at it again" he muttered exasperatedly. Kevin is the son of Dionysus , god of wine, pleasure, and festivities. Needless to say he's sorta crazy. We heard a loud crash and before I could figure out what Kevin had done, Matt bolted in the other direction, he was quite fast. When I turned around I could see Kevin with a lighter in one hand, and a can of hairspray in the other. He was running around setting curtains ablaze. Mentally reaching out for my magical connection to the universe, I smothered the flames by depriving them of their precious oxygen.
"Damn it David, I never get to have any fun!"
"Shut up and get ready", I replied "we leave in half an hour."
"Sweet was his reply as he turned and walked away. Today is Friday and that means its game night between the four groups(Sparta, Argos, Athens, and the Romans). Sometimes the games consisted of mock battles, or gladiator arena challenges. Sometimes the games would only take a few hours, sometimes they lasted a couple of weeks. But today was different, today was the day we are to test out our new game board. We all helped but it still took a few months to finish the construction of a fake empty neighborhood. This is we're we will all be blindfolded and transported to a random location inside and try to not be injured by your fellow piers. We hold these dangerousness games every Friday here at DGHS(demigod high school). We are a lot like camps half blood and Jupiter except every one is welcome here, even though we have a lot of fights. Sometimes it's Greeks versus Romans, but we usually stick to our own groups. Sparta is made up of mostly Ares',Apollo's and Hade's children. Argos(that's my group)are usually Poseidon, Hephaestus, and Aphrodite's kids. And Athens is mostly Zeus, Athena, Artemis, and Hera's children. The other less major gods( like my mother) are spread out throughout the three groups. The Romans however all band together in their own legions. But tonight I had a feeling we from Argos are gonna kick some Roman, Spartan, Athenian ass tonight.
