A Warrior's Past Revealed-Training

A year has past since coming here. Olympus, the home of the gods.

Training with the gods, was never fun. Unlike other kids, I didn't have a normal teacher, I had the goddess of wisdom herself as one. She taught me battle tactics, strategies etc. I knew she probably hated me because of the rivalry between Athena and Poseidon, and of course he had broken the oath twice, and sired me. Because of that, Athena was harsh, making sure everything I did was perfect.

Next was training with Ares, I hated that time. I would usually end up bloody and bruised at the end of it. I would block, but he would immediately counter attack and send me falling to the ground. I remember I would cry if that happened.

"Don't cry!" Ares would exclaim. "You are a warrior. Trained even in the mouth death to look proud and storm into battle! Do not be so weak!" And from that day on, I never cried, ever.

Next would be Aphrodite. It wasn't really training, it was more that she would fix me up, heal my wounds, made sure my clothes were not crumpled, and my face free of dirt. It was probably the most relaxing part of the day.

"No that won't do." I remember her saying than taking a comb and combing my hair. Then she stopped at took a good look at me, deciding if I was up to her standards.

That was pretty much my childhood. There were no other kids like me there, even for a demigod my life wasn't normal.

I had no idea what the word "play" meant or "school", heck I didn't know what a T.V was. My life was so different then. It almost as if it wasn't me who lived that life.
