A note from the author:

Hello everyone I really hope you review. This is my first story. Unfortunately the characters do not belong to me as they are from the Mythos Academy Series written by the amazing Ms. Estep but I have added a few new characters.

Chapter 1

Sixteen years later:

"You can't beat me!" I cried.

Logan grunted and replied, "Watch me!"

We were battling and practicing as Logan's friends watched. Finally I blocked the blade, did some fancy sword work and my cousin's blade hit the ground. I swung close and pointed my blade at him with my back facing the bleachers.

"I win!" I smiled at him.

Logan was my cousin and a childhood friend. He had ink black hair like me hair with ice blue eyes. Everyone was crushing on him but sadly for them, I knew he only liked this one girl named Gwen who was a gypsy. Unfortunately she had touch magic so Logan was hesitant to get close to her in case she found out his secret. He was ashamed that when he was five he hid in the closet as Reapers murdered his mother and sister. I keep telling him it wasn't his fault but he blames himself. They were supposed to come over but we were in a fight, someone stole my dolls, so Logan begged to not come over. His mother agreed and so since his sister didn't want to come by herself she stayed with them rest of the family. Logan's dad was at work then. When we heard what happened we rushed over. Everyone thought he died or was taken because we couldn't find his body. I went upstairs to go to the bathroom after the adults checked the rooms and when I came out I heard a noise and found him.

Snapping back into the present, only a couple of seconds passed, I saw him grinning mischievously and frowned. Whatever it was it could not be good. I started to turn when I got run over by Kenzie and Oliver. I groaned beneath them my face pressed into the mat. They got off me and high fived Logan. Glaring at them I swung my leg and took all three of them down. I laughed and got up taking care to watch their feet.

"See you guys later!" I called over my shoulder.

I grabbed my bag and headed out of the colossal gym. I was headed to my dorm where I could shower before class started. I was sharing a room with the Valkyrie Morgan who was one of my best friends. After she ended being hated because she was cheating with her friend's boyfriend and he dumped her I became even closer then we were since I knew she only did that because she really liked him, loads more then Jasmine did.

I wondered when I would ever find love. That person would have to be really brave because Logan acted a lot like an older brother. Logan was a Spartan like me and so he could scare the words out of people sometimes, not to mention his friends who were very much like brothers too.

I was so into my thoughts I didn't notice when I ran straight into someone else. My weapons were out in a flash and I leapt up. The person I ran into groaned on the ground. I looked around quickly and seeing I had mistaken it as a threat I slid my weapons back into their place and held a hand out for the guy.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention at all." I told him as I helped him up.

"It's fine," he said as he lifted his face to look at me. I held back a gasp. He had hair that looked like gold and his eyes were as green as the first spring leaf. He towered over me since I was only a whooping five feet but that wasn't the reason I gasped; I was used to that because Logan was also extremely tall. I guy in front of me looked like a god. He was obviously very built and definitely well tanned.

He stuck a hand out, "Josh, Viking, and you are?"

I shock his hand and replied, "Azalea but if you call me that your life has suddenly become shorter then you expected."

He snorted, "I doubt it," as he looked me over.

I smiled dangerously at him, "You didn't let me finish. I am also a Spartan and Logan Quinn's beloved cousin."

He smiled at me again, "Okay, now I believe you."

I laughed, "Sorry for bumping into you back there, I was just caught up in my thoughts," we were silent, "I guess I see you around then."

"Definitely," Josh replied and we both walked away.
