It was 14 years ago when the incident happened. Despite his young age when that incident happened, he can still remember everything, vividly. It was this massive fire that engulfed an entire neighborhood. The firefighters took about a half of a day to extinguish the fire, the damage it caused was massive that international organizations have stepped in and helped the victims. But the most devastating thing is that the fire has reportedly claimed 3,000 lives, leaving a lot of children and families behind. But to him, it is different. He was in the room where the fire started,"We have to get him out of here!" yelled a panicking woman's voice,"Go! Take him with you! I'll stay behind and cover for you!" a man's voice replied.Crackling of fire can be heard everywhere, and the heat and smoke were just everywhere and is covering the whole place,"We can't escape them! We have to trust him. This is our fate." The man spoke again and this time, his voice was calm and has seemed to have acce
Since he is all alone now with no one to take care of, Alphonso then went out of the house and locked it as he is now going to the forge where he is working. He arrived at the forge earlier than expected since there was no traffic in the street,"Boss!" Alphonso greeted as he entered the forge."Alfie! Thank goodness you're here! The orders, they are needed tomorrow. I need you to finish it all until midnight. We will lose a valuable customer if we are late, understand?" the bearded boss ordered."Right, I am just going to change and put on my gloves." Alphonso replied.Alphonso then went into the locker room to change to his smithing clothes and then put on his gloves and he just went to work like that. He started heating up some metal to create knives from it, 200 of them,"By the way, I heard about your aunt and her family leaving you for good since they hit the lotto." The plump boss says."Yeah, but don't worry about me. It doesn't affect me at all, I'm already old enough to take
The tour began with Alfie having his questions still unanswered. However, seeing the villa while being toured was something that distracted him. The fact that this place is literally a replica of Manila was mind blowing. It even has its own malls, cinemas and other shops that one will look for to pass some time. As the two walks down what Finn calls as the Snack Street, they stopped in front of food stall that sells candy apples,"2 please. Oh, and the normal order for me!" Finn told the stall keeper.Alfie who was busy looking around finally looked at the seller. He was shocked, but not that shocked since nothing can really make him feel very surprised anymore. However, the girl that is selling candy apples have long green hair with pointy ears. She was beautiful and all, not to mention the fact that she looks good in her store uniform. But the thing that Alfie noticed is that her skin was so pale, like she has some sort of sickness,"Here's your candy apple!" the girl smiled and the
"I'm really a son of an Olympian." Is the first thing that came inside of Alfie's head.The fact that he is now standing in front of a God was something he can't really explain. He has mixed emotions. He was shocked, confused and angry at the same time, he can't really tell."I know you're shocked but hear me out. I, Hephaestus, God of fire and the forge is your father. It's a surprise, I know, since you grew up believing that Richard was your father. However, this is the truth, I am your father, and you are a demigod. Now, what is your first question? Remember that we only have a few minutes to talk." The God says.And with a wave of his hand, a stone bench appeared behind them. Hephaestus then walked towards the bench with him dragging his right leg with him. Alfie then remembered the tragic story of Hephaestus. He is the son of Hera, but when the queen saw the ugliness of him, she threw him out of Olympus, causing his right leg to deform and will never turn back to normal again. He
After the marking ceremony, there was a huge feast. Since this is the first marking ceremony in years, Jack wants to celebrate it as much as possible. However, before they can go and eat, everyone took a portion of their food and dropped it in a fire placed in front of the entrance of the Temple."Offering to the gods," Finn says as he put three apples in the fire.After the offering, everyone went to have some fun. Before anything else, Alfie first approached his siblings from Hephaestus. There were 6 of them and are all from different countries,"Welcome to the circus! I'm John, by the way. The eldest among all of us, I think. I'm 23!"John Berg was the oldest among all of the children of Hephaestus, and he is currently the leader of their family. Their family is smaller compared to the rest, but John assured that their family is not the only one who has less members. In any case, John advised Alfie to enjoy everything while he still can, since his training will probably start tomor
Eleanor then swung her sword forward, and when that didn’t work, she tried again by swinging her sword to the gut of Isabel, trying to catch her off-guard. But the guard of Isabel are just too tight, and Eleanor can barely see openings. Even if she earnestly tries to break the defense, it was just too strong. Both defense and offense are what Isabel is boasting, she is overconfident that a wimp like Eleanor James wouldn’t be able to beat someone like her who has the mark of their lord. Isabel is clearly underestimating Eleanor, and the freshman swordswoman is not happy about that. The only thing she hates most are people who underestimates her. She has been there and has experienced that. She can remember crystal clear her sufferings in the past. She was orphaned at a young age of 7. Having her family killed in a car crash, along with her two brothers, she was left alone. She was born in a wealthy family, however, when her parents died, her other relatives, took advantage of it and th
At the once amazing dome in the campus, the fight of Jonathan and Sevie against the twins is there to be fought. The fighting was intense, and not to mention the synchronous attacks of the twins as if they only have just one single mind and that they are using it against their two opponents who are confused on how to beat them. Even the strategic mind of Jonathan fell in this battle as he cannot quite grasp on a decent strategy to pin these two down. Sevie then swung her sword down, and it was caught by the girl twin. As she pushes her way through this girl’s defense, Sevie looked at Jonathan in the eyes, ad Jonathan knew exactly what to do. So, in order to do that, Jonathan conjured up a powerful blast from his sword, and then, he set it off and an explosion erupted, separating the siblings from each other.“Joan!” yelled the boy twin as he tried to follow where his sister was.But Jonathan blocked his path and then pointed his sword at him,“I am your enemy, remember?” Jonathan smir
The much-intensified battle of Jonathan and the boy twin commenced. The twin was having a hard time parrying and countering all Jonathan’s attacks, as it was all much faster and stronger than what it was earlier. Even with his already enhanced abilities, he still couldn’t keep up,“What’s wrong? Tired already, minion of Damnatio?” Jonathan asked as he swung his sword to the left as the twin blocked it with his sword.“Don’t get cheeky, you freaking bastard!” cursed the twin.He then swung his sword at multiple directions. Jonathan deemed this struggle as calculated. Unlike random attacks that can hit almost anywhere, the attacks this man is making was reckless, yes, but it was not random and is not uncalculated. It is just a mess, and one hit from this would be fatal. But, sensing his energy is already depleting significantly, Jonathan needs to end this fast or he’ll drop dead and be killed pathetically by this twin boy that is because of his pathetic low energy. Jonathan then created
