(Silver's POV)
Every morning routine I just swim underwater in the ocean hearing the whales singing softly really calms my stress. And mostly play with the dolphins too. Talking to aquatic creatures is really my super power. Being the son of Poseidon really is awesome.
"Don't get too comfortable, son. You have a lot of training to do" I can hear my father's voice in my thoughts.
"Come on, dad. The ocean is my life. I'm the only demigod that can breathe underwater and talk to fish" I chuckled, playing with my trident.
"Just like your mother loving animals. I know you adore them but you have a lot to do on land" My father said in my mind.
"Okay, and perhaps the son of Zeus might need my help to learn how to swim sooner or later. Anyways, call you later, dad" I said as I swim in super speed to head back to the island.
I shook the water off me and headed to my cabin to dry off and maybe comb my quills, "Good morning" I waved to my goldfishes in the fish water tank, "Thank you for keeping my cabin secured. Like always, my fishies" I said to my fishes.
"You should remember to lock your doors, Fish hog" A familiar voice came in the room.
"You know how I am, Blaze. The ocean is my life. Son of Poseidon, remember. I have tuna fish sandwich in the morning and I go for a swim in the ocean" I said and Blaze decides to take my comb and comb my quills.
"You're so young and naive. And don't forget, you're half mobian and you walk on land. If you were pure god like your father, you would be spending your entire life in the ocean like a mermaid" Blaze said.
"And singing like a siren to attract prey" I joked.
"You're so naive as always. I hope you were not wrestling with sharks again" Blaze said, finishing my quills.
"Nope. I value most lifeforms in the ocean" I said and got up.
"Heh, including fresh water creatures?" Blaze chuckled.
"Well not exactly the fresh water crabs and other fresh water fishes" I said.
"What about piranhas?" Blaze asked.
"Well as long as they don't eat people I'm okay with them" I said.
"You talk to fish but not fresh water creatures" Blaze said.
"Hey there are fish in fresh water, but it's difficult to speak to non-fish" I said.
"Why?" Blaze asked me.
"I have no idea. Maybe I need to learn more" I shrugged.
(Amy's POV)
I showed Sonic the statues of all his half brothers and sisters.
"They are all my relatives, incredible" Sonic was amazed.
"Half relatives. Perseus the legendary founder of Mycenae and of the Perseid dynasty" I pointed at the statue of him, "Hercules was the Roman equivalent of the Greek divine hero Heracles" I point at the next statue of him.
"He performed twelve tasks to meet the gods. I like the one when he strangled the Nemean Lion" Sonic said.
"Heh, maybe you'll do the same like him. That is if you have demigod strength like your half-brother Hercules" I smirked.
"So my half siblings were all human. But no mobian" Sonic said.
"Until now" I said.
"Then it makes me the first of Zeus' children to be mobian" Sonic said.
"As well as the rest of us" I said.
"But I'm amazed that they had amazing histories" Sonic said.
"Yeah. They sure had" I smiled.
"But still, my father made a lot of children. Don't you think it's enough? Especially that he is married to his sister, Hera" Sonic said.
"It's too weird. Though she tried to have Hercules killed" I said.
"Oh yes, because she was jealous" Sonic said.
"Yeah, but that's history. Anyways, we need to train you. So you can get the hang of your demigod skills. Knuckles likes to bring statues to life. But he prefers those chess pieces" I said.
"Like those giant chess pieces from the first Harry Potter movie? If that's what it takes to learn my demigod strength, then yes" Sonic said with a cocky smile.
"Well then blue boy" I said as we walk to where Knuckles is.

Upon arriving, we saw Knuckles raising a sculpture, "Hey Sonic and Amy" He noticed us.
"I see you're trying to bring a sculpture to life. Like a statue warrior" Sonic said.
"Yep. I use them in combat practice" Knuckles said.
"And?" Sonic asked again.
"And for game plays" He continued.
"Hmm...how tough are they?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Wanna see?" Knuckles allowed a huge statue resembling a Spartan warrior approaching to Sonic.
"Damn, that is one hell of a warrior" Sonic said.
"Now, are you ready?" Knuckles asked.
"Hell yes" Sonic too out his bolt staff.
(Sonic's POV)
This is gonna be tough like hell but I think I can manage to kick ass.
"Round one FIGHT!" Knuckles shouted.
I struck my bolt staff against the statue but it blocked my attack, "Agh!" I lost my balance but I stood up, "Tough statue are you?" I struck lightning at it but no damage on it. Looks like I'm gonna have to do my eagle patronus again. Even if it means getting tired out last time.
The statue prepares to hit me when I summoned lightning forming my patronus in front of me. An electric shaped eagle came out from my body, "AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" I screamed with a lot of strength and power as the patronus eagle flew at the statue. And destroyed it into two halves.
"Phew!" I wiped my forehead after using my patronus.
"Good but here comes the big ones. Round two!" Knuckles showed me more large statues.
"Oh crap! You giving me harder ones are you?" I gasped.
"A warrior needs hard training" Knuckles said.
Damn it! Me and stupid ass cocky attitude! Just as I was about to unleash thunder, Sky appeared out of nowhere and stomped one large statue.
"Thanks Sky" I gave him thumbs up. Sky neighs and flies off to let me finish this.
I summoned thunderstorms from the sky and lightning struck the other statue. One approached me from behind but I shattered it.
"Incredible!" Knuckles gasps.
"That is one powerful demigod" Amy said.
"Now you got some more?" I asked Knuckles.
"Heh, I don't wanna make you pass out. And I see that your patronus is an eagle. Just like your dad" Knuckles said.
"I know. And I'll train some more to finally see him" I said.
"That's not how it works Sonic" Amy said.
"Why? Hercules did it before" I said.
"Well the 12 tasks was something for him. But it's gonna be different for you" Amy said.
"You have no idea what it's like to only know one parent. My whole life I thought my father abandoned me and my mom" I looked away in sadness.
"I understand Sonic. It's gonna be alright" Amy said.
"It's just so painful to not know my father in real life. Why hasn't he tried to contact me in my head?" I sobbed.
Amy gave me a comforting hug, "There, there, Sonikku"
Her sweet hugs sorta calmed me down for a few seconds, I guess she's the daughter of Aphrodite after all, "Thanks, Amy" I smiled at her.
(Shadow's POV)
I saw her hugging my cousin for comfort. I know what that's like to not know who your real father was. My mom married my stepfather when I was 8 years old. She never talks about my real father because she was very furious when he left me and her a long time ago.
I shook off that thought and went to see my other cousin doing archery with Nebula. Since when has he ever tried archery?
"Okay steady, steady, Silver" Nebula instructs Silver how it's done.
"I'm trying to aim like a swordfish" Silver said.
"Trust your instincts, Silver" Nebula said.
"Tell me again, your mother made a vow to never have kids or get married, why did she break it?" Silver asked her.
"I have no idea. Perhaps she needed a descendant I guess" Nebula sighs at that thought.
"Okay. Now fire away!" He fires the arrow at a target. But he hits the inner circle, "Crikey! Well I did my best" Silver shrugs.
"So, my cousin is into archery I see" I said.
"No, just doing something else than swimming with dolphins" Silver said.
"Hmph. You've been talking to your father in your head" I guessed.
"Yeah and he wanted me to try something new than having sushi, mate" Silver joked.
"Hilarious. Our cousin is becoming more and more impatient to talk to his father. Is there any chance you can convince your father to tell our uncle to speak to his son?" I asked.
"I'll try, mate" Silver said.
"I don't know why our uncle is not talking to his son" I shook my head in disappointment.
"Who knows" Nebula wondered and then whistles out loud to call her pet deer, "Ciervo!"
The male adult deer came running and stops right before her.
"Just like your mom" I said to her.
"Yes she is fond of deer" Nebula said.
"But was there a hunter that she turned him into a stag or something? As punishment?" I asked.
"Yes she's sensitive of her privacy after being caught bathing. So my mom is not really that good" Nebula said.
(Sonic's POV)
I was at the cafeteria place; they were finally serving American food. My favorite is the chili dogs which I really wanted for the past few days. And again, no word from my father yet. It's like he doesn't want to talk to me.
Tails came to join me but can see that I'm not in my right mood again, "You're still upset about your dad are you?"
"Yeah. I just wondered if he's such a cool guy" I said.
"And the powerful god in all Greek history. And you really want to get to know him in person?" Tails said.
"Human or mobian, I don't care what he appears as. But he's got a lot of explaining to do. Leaving me and my mother is no excuse" I said, eating my chili dog.
"Because gods turn mortal if they remain by their mortal partner. Zeus would lose his powers" Tails said.
"Yes, but also something else besides that. Is there any way to communicate with him?" I asked.
"Well...there is one way. But do you remember the Disney movie Hercules where Herc talks to his father's statue in the temple?" Tails asked me.
"I'll give that a try. Is there any statue of him around?" I wondered.
"No but Knuckles made one a year ago" Tails said.
"I'll go there later in private" I said.
