Get back here you little brat!"

As I'm running from the man who's hoge and money I stole, I spot an alleyway and duck inside. I watch as the man runs past the place I was hidden and breathe a sigh of relief.

I guess I'll introduce myself. My name is Andrew Young and I've been homeless since I was five years old which would add up to seven years since I have just recently turned twelve. As many of you may have guessed I'm also a demigod so my life has been extra sucky. I've had to learn to survive and fight all one my own-

"Grrrrrr"

I turn around only to see four extremely hungry looking, red hell dogs. I've encountered them many times before but not so many at once. What can you do with the luck of a demigod? Fight, that's what you do! You fight and survive at all costs!

I quickly summon my dual daggers with a determined glare at the hell dogs. My daggers are midnight black with blood red ancient greek writing on them, the one in my right hand is named καταστροφή which translates to destroyer and the one in my left is named πόλεμος which translates to war.

As I get into my custom fighting stance I toss my stolen sandwich and ignite my blades in flames and charge. Once I reach the first one who looks to be the runt of the pack, it lunges at me with its jaws open but I'm faster and I slash at its open mouth leaving a wide gash almost the length of his body. Soon after it bursts into golden dust. The other three, having seen this, roared in anger at their brother's death. They charge. Now listen I may be an amazing fighter If I do say so myself but can only do so much. After what seemed like hours of dodging and running I've finally had enough and shot a wave of fire at them killing the two weaker ones but only slightly weakening the biggest who I would guess is the leader.

Bye now I'm exhausted, barely able to stand. Screw it, I am not gonna die here!

"You big overgrown hell puppy I won't lose to you!" I shout

That only seemed to anger him in the end. My blades ignite in its usual orange flame and I charge, it swipes its massive paw at me. Using the flames to boost my jumping power I jump above it, again using the flames to maneuver in the air I charge straight down at it jamming my blades in its back with all my might but it's not enough. This hell dog is too strong. It simply roars and throws me off it's back. I managed to land on my feet but as I said I'm reaching my limit.

That last attack took all my remaining energy, as I'm starting to lose consciousness I see a flash of silver, the hell dog is gone and in its place stands a knight in shining silver and gold armor. Then it all fades to black.

My eyes flutter open but quickly close again because of the light. I try to sit up but wince In pain. I hadn't realized all the scratches and claw marks that littered my body until now.

The noise I'd made earlier had gotten the attention of the man in silver and gold, as he's walking over to me I realize he's easily seven-feet tall and has a five-foot broadsword hanging at his side. Even though he looks intimidating I don't sense danger as he approaches.

"Ah I see you're wake young Andrew". Came his strong yet kind voice.

I nod my head yes, not really knowing who this man is and not wanting to speak to him anyway.

"Your mother has sent me to look after and train you so you'll become a fine warrior". he says sternly.

"My mother sent you? Does that mean you know my mother? Where is she? Who is she?" I spit my questions out at rapid fire courtesy of my ADHD.

"Calm down young Andrew. It is true your mother did send me and that obviously means I know who and what she is." He said in an attempt to calm be down

"So who is she? I already know she's a god but I've never been able to figure out which one." I say in a low voice. There might be a chance for me to meet my mother and I won't pass that up!

"You will learn in time but first you must train. You need to be able to survive the upcoming war!" his strong voice came once again. "You will be revered as one of the finest heroes of the age once Your training is complete"

Hearing this I can't help but get excited. My mother has finally acknowledged me, even if indirectly so she still did

"Ok I'll do it" I said with determination. "But first tell me your name, who you are, and where we are"

"That's the spirit, young prince!" He says with excitement "My name is Igris, the commander of your mothers army and we are currently in the mountains of Virginia inside of a cave. Where you'll be training for the next three years!"

Just like that my training has begun and I aim to be the absolute strongest, unmatched by anyone!
