"12? Well young one, you are one lucky and powerful demigod." Jake responded.
"How do you know that?" Sarah asked. "What does the number 12 even mean?"
"I know that because the number 12 is very rare for a demigod to have. Usually, a demigod would have the numbers 5 through 9. 5 being a very weak demigod, 9 being a very powerful one. I have never met a demigod who had the number 12 who has never had training before. The number comes on a scale of 1-20. One being nearly no powers. If you happen to reach level 20, you can have the choice of immortality. Or, you can choose to go through the next 10 levels. With each level after that, you get a reward. If you reach level 50, you get the choice of becoming a god."
"Reaching level 50 is very rare. Mainly because people stop at level 20 and become immortal, but the biggest reason why it is so rare is because few half-bloods ever reach level 18! To start at level 12 with a right advancing arrow, is incredible! Nearly unheard of!" Jake said excitedly.
"What does the arrow mean?" Sarah asked.
"The arrow shows how fast you can pass through levels. Your arrow is the highest level arrow you can have. It means that you have a high max power level or you have a high power development level, or both. An arrow with a dot in the middle means that you have a slightly higher than average max power level and a slightly higher than normal power development level, or both. An arrow facing the bottom left corner means that you have both an average max power level and an overpower development level. A star with no line through it means that you will either have a low max power level and a low power development level or you have the highest level, called the royalty level, you have an undetermined but very high max power level and an equally high power development level." Jake explained.
For a moment, everybody stared at Jake. Then all of a sudden, everyone made a mad dash to go back to the home screen that Sarah was still on to see their power levels.
Alex got to his first. "I got a mountain, a star with a arrow pointing to the top right and the number 11!"
Max said, "I got the same as Alex. Mountain, same star and number too."
Trinity looked like she was either going to cry with tears of happiness or tears of misery.
"Trinity. What did you get?" Jake Roo asked when she didn't say anything.
"Umm. I got a mountain and the number 12." Trinity said nervously.
"What about your star?" Jake asked patiently.
"I- My star… My star has no line." Trinity replied hesitantly. She was nervous. A star with no line either meant she was going to be very powerful, or it meant that she was going to be very, very weak.
"Wow really! That's so cool!" Sarah said encourgently. She wanted to make Trinity feel more comfortable. She was obviously very shy. She always seemed to be on her guard too. She probably felt even more uncomfortable because Max, Sarah and Alex all already knew each other.
"So this means that she will either be very powerful or very weak. I am pretty sure that it will be the former because the GSPD should have increased your abilities and power strength." Jake assured. "I will give you guys a moment longer to figure out your Iris Card. Feel free to ask questions."
Everybody nodded their heads and started tapping at the air.
As they were flipping through tabs, Sarah noticed many things. There was a web browser. She clicked it and a keyboard popped up. She typed in the names of the male god's that were on the list and looked at all of them. The first one she looked up was Ares.He popped up with a description. It said
