(Amy's POV)
The next morning is the day that Rouge and I build a cabin for our new demigod. I have to admit he's a little cocky but also funny too.
"Here you go Amy" Rouge gave me some planks to make the floor.
"Thanks. By the way, what do you of that new demigod?" I asked.
"He seems charming. His eyes are like emeralds" Rouge said, doing the roof of the cabin.
"Yeah. Mine are like jades" I said.
"But still, green reminds me of that gorgon traitor. I don't understand how he lived longer. Only his aunts were immortal while his mom was killed by Perseus" Rouge said.
"Yes but her blood spawned him along with Pegasus. He must have achieved immortality somehow" I added another piece for the roof, "And now he's probably scared that another son of Zeus will do the same thing to him. But Sonic has no training of being like his father"
"Rookies take way too long to learn everything as a demigod" Rouge said.
"With all due respect, we need to do it as soon as possible" I said.
"Like all of his half brothers and sisters were what, heroes? Can Sonic be like one of them? I say he's cocky" Rouge said, finishing up with the cabin.
"I guess I should start train him" I shrugged, finishing the floor.
"If he trained with Shadow he'll have his ass kicked in hell" Rouge chuckled.
"Right. And you're quite the fighter too" I said.
"Knuckles is too gullible and I'm very sneaky" Rouge said.
"Violence is never my style but defense is something in life to save each other. Just like the time I almost looked in Scourge's eyes" I said, still angry about that traitor.
"You are right. Now go get Sonic to show him his cabin" Rouge said.
"Let's hope he hasn't over slept" I said.
But I did go to my cabin to get him. When I got there he was sleeping really peacefully. I don't want to wake him up like this but I have to so that he can have his own home.
Time to wake him up, "Sonic, wake up"
But he groans sluggishly, "Let me sleep" He puts a pillow on his head.
"Come on, your cabin is done" I shook him gently.
"Done already? How long did it take you guys to finish in the morning?" Sonic gets up.
"3 hours ago" I answered.
"I'd be damned" Sonic was surprised.
"Pack up, we're moving your stuff to the cabin" I told him.
"Alright" Sonic nods and we started packing his stuff.
But I didn't see that coming when he used super speed in 2 seconds, "Wow. That was fast" I was really astonished.
"They don't call me Sonic for nothing" Sonic said.
"Really Sonic?" I chuckled.
"Yup, let's go" Sonic nodded.
(Sonic's POV)
Damn, my cabin is a lot like home than I expected. There's a bed, the bathroom, the kitchen, flat-screen TV, and windows with lightning pattern curtains.
"Wow, yours and Rouge's work really paid off" I said to Amy.
"Well yeah, it really did. We worked really hard" Amy said.
"All morning?" I asked.
"Yeah. Normally it would take days to finish a cabin" Amy said.
"But to a demigod's strength and skills, a few hours" I said.
"Yup. Well I hope you'll enjoy this" Amy said.
"I hope I will. Technology like iPhones, televisions, Netflix, and laptops are my life to keep me sane" I said.
"Heh, kids these days love technology" Amy said.
"Yup" I agreed.
"By the way, Silver is waiting for you to train. That weapon you have is like a bow staff to defend yourself" Amy said.
"Very well. I'm ready to take on the Australian" I took my bolt staff.
"I thought you don't like the water, Sonic" Amy reminded me.
"I don't but I like challenging" I said.

When I arrived at Silver's location I found him standing there, "G'day, mate. I was wondering how long you would show up" Silver said, twirling his trident.
"What's with the pitch fork? Did the devils from hell gave it to you?" I teased him.
He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "It's a trident and my father made it for me a long time ago when I was born"
"Oh right. Now let's see what lightning can do against water" I held my staff tight.
"Just don't let electricity sting me like a jellyfish, mate" Silver held his trident tightly to fight me.
I reared back the staff and we clashed with them swiftly, "Does this make you a fish warrior?" I strained from being pushed.
"Fish is my brekkie! I'm more of a shark warrior" Silver grinned.
"Sharks are not on top of the food chain" I pushed back while deflecting every attack.
"I actually meant in combat" Silver responded with another swing.
But I blocked his attack, the bolt on my staff started to glow. But I noticed Silver's trident glowing blue. Without thinking of what to do, Silver's powers from his trident send out a glowing ghost-like dolphin right at me. I tried to shield myself from it but I fell over right before that ghost-like dolphin disappeared.
"What the hell was that?!" I gasped.
"We demigods don't know but we call it a Patronus. Sorta like an animal guardian from those Harry Potter movies. Mine is a dolphin but we don't know what your animal is" Silver explained to me as he helped me stand up.
"I'll find out later. Now back to fighting!" I clashed my staff against his trident again.
"Like a swordfish, mate" Silver strained.
"Does fish metaphors annoy you?" I asked while straining.
"Not at all! I'm not feeling green at the gills!" Silver pushed back.
As I struggled against Silver again I felt lightning bolts appear on the staff again, "Get ready to dance!" I cast lightning from my staff at Silver.
Silver jumps aside barely missing the lightning, "I don't dance. I swim!" He said.
I spun the staff forming a ring of lightning and then threw them at Silver but he deflects them with his trident.
"I've seen worse thunderstorms in the ocean, mate" He said.
I backed off and put my staff's end to the ground, "Is that so?"
"Yes, and I survived!" He jumps up with his trident to attack me.
But I tried to defend myself with the staff. He shoves the trident but I locked it with my staff. We began to push each other back, each time more intense.
"Don't get cocky, mate" Silver taunted me.
"Don't get naive, cousin" I taunted back, "AAAGH!" I managed to catch him off guard.
"Alright then, let's try these" Silver stops and points at some shields and swords.
"Are they real? I'm no Wonder Woman" I said.
"Oh yes. We fight like warriors from ancient Greek, such as Spartans" Silver said.
"Just don't kill me, cousin. I'm very young" I picked up the sword and shield, for a moment I thought it would be heavy but it felt lighter.
"Alright, ready Sonic?" Silver asked me while holding up his shield and sword.
"I think so. I never fought with weapons like this" I said.
Without a word Silver charged at me with his sword so I blocked with my shield. I managed to clash my sword with his and we backed off and struggled briefly. Each time Silver would try to hit me with the sword I would either deflect the blow or shield myself, he would do the same with my attacks.
"Good job!" Silver said.
"Thanks" I thanked him but he tries to strike again.
"Never let your guard down!" Silver responded and swung his sword but I blocked it again. As I strain to push back I won't give up. Then after getting off his sword I swung at him but I got hit by him and fell near some water.
"Aaaaaahhhh! Water!" I get up to get away from the water.
"Don't be chicken Sonic" Silver taunts me.
"I'm serious! I have hydrophobia my whole life!" I shivered in fear.
"Water is nothing to be scared of, mate" Silver said.
"Drowning is something to be scared of. And the reason why I don't like going near the water is because I can't swim" I said.
"Crikey, you can't swim?" Silver asked.
"No, now enough talk more practice" I came to my senses.
"You've practiced enough. But still, you need a lot to process of being a demigod. We demigods need to know what your...patronus...animal is. You saw mine is a dolphin. Why is mine a dolphin is because dolphins are like guardians of the ocean. My cousin Shadow's animal is a Xolo dog because Mexican dogs guide souls on their journey. Just like his father's three-headed dog that guards the underworld" Silver said.
"Maybe mine can be a cheetah since I'm fast" I guessed.
"Good guess but it could be something else than just speed. Here's an example; you know in wars there are horses?" Silver asked me.
"Yeah. But we'll see if it's true" I said.
"I'm not saying like that. What I meant is in old war stories there were horses around. That would be Knuckles' patronus animal. Since his father is the god of war" Silver said.
"I get it already Silver" I said.
"Well, now that we're done practicing for today, you are free to go" Silver said.

A while later I went to have something to eat. It looked almost like a school cafeteria. I picked up a tray and when to see what they are serving today. Tails was there already. So was Shadow too. I hope he doesn't mind letting me sit with him.
I saw they were serving some different type of Greek food, "Uhhh...do you have all country food like American or something?" I asked the chef.
"Sure we have. But today's menu is Greek" The chef said.
"Okay" I held out my tray and he gave me some gyros. Then I took my drink and headed to Shadow's table, "What's up, cousin?" I asked.
"Hmph. Nothing much" Shadow scoffed.
"Alright. Well I've been practicing" I replied.
"And yet you still have a lot to process of being a demigod" Shadow said.
"Well...yes. I know I'm being clumsy just because I was raised by my mom and had no demigod training in my childhood. And that I had no father until now" I said, eating gyros.
"Well, I get to see my dad in the underworld. But other parents can't because of the law your father made" Shadow said.
"That they lose their immortality if they remain too long on Earth" I said.
"Yes, exactly. But they can make telepathy contact through their children's thoughts" Shadow said.
"Okay. But I heard in stories how Zeus defeated our grandfather Kronos" I said.
"With his two brothers and himself they defeated our grandfather" Shadow said, "The three managed to kill him and Zeus sent his remains into tartaros" He added.
"Yes, and my father becomes the king of the gods. I know this story before" I said.
"Right" Shadow responded with a sigh.
"What's your story about your parents, Shadow?" I asked him.
"My mom thought she loved Hades but she was very furious with him when he had another wife" Shadow growled.
"Persephone" I guessed.
"Yes, and he left me and my mom when I was 6 months old. My mom raised me to be like her relatives but she could not deny that I'm a demigod. She said that I was very special to talk to the dead. Every year on Día de los Muertos her ancestors tell me their stories and I pass it down to my family" Shadow explained his story to me.
"Ohhhh, I see. No offense but your dad sounds really mean" I said.
"What do you expect? It's in his nature of being the lord of the underworld. But sometimes he can be a little annoying whenever I visit him in the underworld along with his grim reaper friend that sails at the river of styx" Shadow said.
"Does he ever give dying people a second chance to live?" I asked.
"I never seen him doing that" Shadow said.
"In other words no" I shrugged.
"Well, I just can't see with my own eyes a dying child in cancer never getting another chance to live" Shadow said.
"I don't know what it's like to see someone die in front of me" I said.
"It ain't a pretty sight" Shadow said.
I turned over seeing Amy talking with Rouge and Blaze at some other table, "Silver said that demigods unleashes an animal patronus thing. Can others do that too?" I asked Shadow.
"Mine is a Xolo dog. Amy's patronus is a dove, Tails is an owl, Blaze is a lion, Nebula is a wolf, Knuckles is a horse, and Rouge is a snake" Shadow said.
"I don't know what my animal guardian is. But I'm guessing it could be a cheetah or something else" I said, not sure what mine can be.
"You'll find out" Shadow said.
"How do I unleash it?" I asked.
"It's difficult to explain, cousin. But only a powerful demigod can unleash the biggest animal patronus" Shadow said.
"Was there ever a powerful demigod today?" I asked.
"No but my dad thinks it could be you" Shadow said.
"But I don't even know these unknown powers aside from my speed" I said.
"But you mastered the lightning like your dad" Shadow said.
"For one day I did" I said.
"Then you need to learn more" Shadow said.
