Leo POV

This guy I was about to fight (again) had been different from all others I knew (or remembered) fighting. I tried remembering our fight and after an intense headache I saw pictures in my head.( I guessed that they were my memories but considering the day I have been through I won't be surprised if they were just overactive imagination or the result of magic mushrooms.)

I (and those girls from earlier) had escaped from the forges where we were being kept forcefully. The girls had managed to defeat a few guards and some of them were taken care of by me and the weapons I made in the forges.

However the girls were tired so I decided to go ahead and make sure the coast was clear. That's when I met him.

He had said that his name was Cake... he might have said Jake but I don't really remember.

He was the same height as me but he was not human. He had bragged about being the only Cyclops child of Aphrodite.

Since Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty she never had Cyclops children but when Cake, I mean Jake was born she apparently decided that having only a single eye suites only Pirates from 18th century and nobody else (An observation I completely agree with) and so she did some godly thing and turned him into a human like Cyclops. And as her last words to him she told him to become the follower of the most handsome and powerful mortal he meets.

Which had sadly been the Orion guy.

Anyway, after realizing that he was not about to stop boasting (about being the most advanced Cyclops) or let us escape I decided to attack him. So I pointed the net throwing gun (Yes, I know it is not the most original name ever but I was busy planning a way to escape from those forges) at him and pulled the trigger.

However he managed to dodge it and then to my astonishment dug his hand into the wall beside him and pulled out a chunk of it. This made me realize that although he looked human he still had all the powers of a Cyclops like super strength, construction knowledge and fire proof skin.

I jumped to aside just as the chunk flew through the place where my head was located just a few moments ago.

I tried thinking of a plan but was interrupted by another piece of wall which had learnt flying.

I quickly threw the few smoke bombs I still had in my pockets towards him and hid behind another wall.

I tried thinking of a way to get rid him but nothing came to my mind. I was not in the best physical condition (and considering that he could break walls with his bare hands) fighting head on was not an option, Running would not work as some other guard might catch me and I couldn't really leave my friend alone.

Which left me with just one option… Fighting Leo style.

I felt a tingling sensation in my hands right before a small fire appeared in my hand.

After that the memories were hazy. Plus I can't really risk having flashbacks while facing Cake… I mean Jake.

Jake POV

There are those who fight for justice, those who fight for love, for money, for power, for fame, they are people who are forced to fight and then there are those like me who fight

because we are not survivors.

We are warriors.

After all how much can you know about yourself if you have never been in a fight?

And that is the reason I am so excited at present. This little dog in front of me had given me one of the most interesting fights of my life.

When I first saw him I had thought that he can be scared easily and isn't worth fighting. But I quickly found out that it is not about the size of dog in a fight but the size of fight in the dog.

He had summoned fire and fought me head on to become the second demigod to survive a fight against me. It was such a pity that the fight was interrupted and his memories were stolen by us. But I am not going to fight him without making sure that he gives me all he's got so I decided to taunt him a little.

"Hey runt! Why don't you come at me with all you have got? An army of monsters has been called to destroy this place with everyone in it and they will be here soon enough. If you defeat me then I might even let you and your little friends go. What do you say? You know what I will let you fight one of these Cyclopes to get you up to speed." I turned back to look at Antaeus for his permission even though I find it annoying that he was placed higher than me.

When Orion defeated me I agreed to work for him but he placed me under Antaeus's command. While he was not like those kids who would only fight you on the internet (What's the worst they can do? Caps Lock me to death) and is a decent fighter, he considers himself more developed and never stops boasting. The only reason I don't fight him is because he keeps healing himself. Plus I was told by my mother the great goddess Aphrodite that I must follow the most powerful mortal I meet to achieve my destiny and since Orion is the most powerful mortal I know I have to follow him.

Thankfully Antaeus decided not object probably because he wanted to watch them fight himself.

One of the Cyclopses moved in front and raised his fight to fight as I moved back to enjoy the fight.

Thank you for reading.
