(Sonic's POV)
I head to where this girl who kissed me for no reason. Man, no girls at my school ever had any interest in me. And I never get kissed by girls.
Well, time to get to know this girl named Amy the daughter of Aphrodite.
I saw her sitting there painting, "Hi there Amy" I waved to her.
"Oh hello there Sonic" Amy saw me and waved back.
"So since I'm new here is there something I need to know about being a demigod?" I asked her.
"Well, we do not share immortality with the gods but we do have access to Olympus and the other realms" Amy said.
"And skills?" I added.
"Some demigods have god strength just like Hercules. I have the ability to sense negative emotions and I can simply blow a kiss on them to regain love" Amy said.
"As they say, only love can conquer hate" I said.
"And that's why I had to kiss you because you were having negative emotions of panic and fear" Amy said.
"I didn't need to get kissed! I just thought I was having a dream or a hallucination!" I glared.
"Heh, try pinch yourself and you'll see the truth" Amy just laughed.
"Already did when Tails explained everything to me. And it's not funny that I got kissed by a girl who just sees me as a handsome demigod. Please, I don't need a lady to worry about me" I huffed and crossed my arms.
"I didn't know who you were when you got here but I have a lot of compassion in me. So I do have the right to worry about you since you're new here. When I kissed you I sensed you had a lot of loneliness and sadness of being mistreated by normal people. I know what it feels like too" Amy said to me.
"Eh, thanks Amy. I owe you one" I smiled at her.
"No problem. I'm guessing I have to share a room with you" Amy said.
"Well then, we'd say so roommate" I shook her hand.
"Yeah, better get your stuff unpacked" Amy said.
"Uh...I didn't bring anything with me" I said.
"Rouge has all your stuff that she brought like 20 minutes ago" Amy said.
"Oh alright" I went inside the cabin with Amy, "So this cabin is your home?" I asked.
"In a manner of speaking. I got some of my mom's gifts" Amy said.
"Your mother? Gods can't get in contact with their demigod children or face to face" I said.
"Well she left some in my father's home" Amy said.
"But you never saw her?" I asked her again.
"Yes, but my father revealed it to me. In an old photo when I was 6 months old and she had to leave before she was turning mortal" Amy said.
"I just wonder about my dad too; when he left my mother. We'll see when I meet him" I said.
"And don't kiss me again when I'm sharing a room with you for one day" I said seriously.
"Sheesh, you boys are like afraid of becoming zombie cooties or something" Amy rolled her eyes, "And I did that to save your heart from a heart attack"
"I get it, and again thank you" I said.
"You're welcome Sonic" Amy said.
I went to my stuff and unpacked them; apparently Tails packed them while I was unconscious.
Mom sent me an envelope as I opened it and it revealed to be a picture of her and Zeus, along with me as a baby. Is this what my father looks like? But do gods take the form of mobians and humans when having affairs with mortals? What does my real father look like? Does he look like a tall bearded man?
People on earth believe that Greek gods are just stories or a myth. And a lot of people don't believe in them anymore. But they only believe them in movies and stories. But there are still statues that represent them too along with paintings.
"Well, if my dad can contact me with telepathy, maybe I can get to know him" I said.
"But how, he hasn't spoken to you yet" Amy said.
"That's what I'm wondering why he hasn't" I said.
"The time will come Sonic" Amy assured me.
"How do you know? I never had a father in my life. I was only raised by my mother and I have no memory of my father" I said.
"I had my time to get to know who my mother was" Amy said.
"But you never met her face to face" I said.
"Yep, but maybe one day. But enough about that, I hope you enjoy your stay here" Amy said.
"I sure will" I agreed.
"Rouge and I will build a cabin for you tomorrow morning. That way it will look like you have a home" Amy said.
"Thank you very much Amy" I said and she hugged me.
I was stunned by this, I never get hugged by any girl in my life.
"No problem Sonikku" Amy said my name in Japanese.
"Uhhhh...is that my name in Japanese?" I asked shyly.
"Of course. I'm from Japan you know" Amy said.
"And how long did it take you to learn and speak English?" I asked.
"It took me five years to learn it" Amy said.
"I see. I've been speaking English my whole life. I don't speak any other languages. So I guess we just have to speak English to each other" I said.
"Yes. Just like the others" Amy said.
"Sometimes I wonder if English is the best language in the world" I smirked.
"Everyone says that, though Spanish has most countries" Amy said.
(Shadow's POV)
I was still giving my blessings and honor at the ofrenda again. It's one of the traditions I learned with mama when I was a child.
My ears perked when my annoying cousin Silver came to interrupt.
"What do you want now, Silver? Can't you see I like being alone in my life?" I growled in frustration.
"Come on, mate. You've been talking to the dead, praying to the photos, and you haven't woken up your sense of fun for years. What has your father filled your head with? Resentful feelings?" Silver crossed his arms.
"Don't ask" I replied, not in the mood to answer him.
"So you are being resentful. I know you're not like your father but deep down you still have your mother's kindness" Silver said. He was right that I have my mom's kindness but I still have the half blood of a god, my father.
"I'm not being resentful, I just don't show my enthusiasm" I said.
"Have it your way" Silver sighs.
"I'm being honest, Silver. Back at my Mexican school, kids call me emo because of my fashion and fur color. There's no point in showing my enthusiasm like everyone else. So I stay arrogant" I said.
"You're gonna end up lonely with no one to help you anymore" Silver said.
"I have two cousins now that I'm related to. Solitude is what I'm used to. There were times that bullies made fun of me for talking to an imaginary friend when apparently I was talking to ghosts of classmates that died years ago in that school" I said.
"And what happened next?" Silver asked.
"Nothing. But that's when the Aztec pyramid lead me to the demigod village of the island. Sorta like a transfer portal or something" I said.
"Same thing when the Sydney Opera House lead me to the island too" Silver said.
"Si Amigo" I nodded.
"There are some mortals that can speak and see ghosts just like you. You're the only demigod that can talk to the dead. I talk to fish. Back as a kid there were times that I was bullied because they were jealous when they see fish not swimming away from me" Silver said.
"You're like Aquaman. You talk to sea creatures like him" I said.
"Yes, well, I love aquatic creatures. Just like my mom loves Australian animals" Silver said.
"And I like alebrijes. Mythical creatures of Dia de los Muertos" I said.
"Yep. I know that Blaze loves birds" Silver said.
"She likes the jackals of Egypt. Jackals that walk around the gravestones like Anubis" I said.
"Well she still is an offspring of Greek gods" Silver said.
"So are we. Anyways, I got praying to do on the ofrenda. Por favor, leave" I said, politely as I did.
"Alright, mate" Silver leaves me alone.
I sat back down resuming what I did since this is what I like to do, talk to my dead ancestors.
