It's my birthday this Saturday (12th of November!) On that random note... The poll scores so far are Ares 4:0 Prometheus. Poll closing whenever I update chapter 10 or 11. Depends when I add the kissing scene. Enjoy this chapter :) I might not update again soon though... It might take a while but I will update as soon a possible. Send me ideas and possible sentences for the story in Reviews or Private Message me. I like the ending of this chapter more then the start- send your opinions to me if you want. I'll add proper fighting in the future but you'll get the idea with the story (I hope...) :)


Chapter 9 – did that really just happen?

Prometheus POV

Poseidon made the first move like he always did. I was surprised at the ferocity at which he stabbed forth with his sword. I was about to stop him from skewering her when something unexpected happened. She span to the side and jumped behind him before he even had a chance to respond. He had expected his sword to contact with something but when it didn't the momentum made him fall forward. She put the edge of her borrowed sword unto the back of his neck.

"I feel like an idiot." Poseidon grumbled after she let him stand up.

"You are an idiot." I heard her mutter to Poseidon who in response replied,

"You weren't supposed to know that trick." He glared at her. I felt like I had to say something.

"Wow." Ares said beating me to it.

"That was awesome!"Hades agreed, "Want to have a practise fight with me? While Poseidon goes to wherever he's late to." He stared pointedly at his brother referring to earlier. Poseidon angrily stomped off.

Hades and Athena got into ready positions.

Athena POV

How did I do that?

All I could remember was my mind going to autopilot but still my mind was still reeling from my fight against Poseidon. Why did he hate me so much?

I stood facing Hades. Hades prefers defence to offence so he would be harder to attack but easier to defend against. My mind automatically reminded me from earlier.

Neither of us moved. He was still trying to analyse my technique I realised. I stabbed randomly forward and he immediately came forward to intercept it even though it hardly reached him. I used that moment to quickly move back and disarmed the reached out sword. The sword made a satisfying clang as it hit the floor. I smiled at the stunned God in front of me.

"Sorry?" I said unsure whether I should be apologising or not.

"Don't be." He grinned. For a god of the underworld he sure was cheerful. He went to pick up his sword so I turned slightly to see Ares' and Prometheus' reactions. Prometheus was shocked but Ares was grinning like Hades had.

Prometheus POV

She just defeated two brilliant sword fighters with years of practise. She only had her first fight yesterday! Zeus needs to know about this! Maybe it's best he doesn't know a voice insisted in my head. I ignored it. Too bad that voice was called common sense.
