woke in a dark room with my head aching I sat up and took around It looked like I was a storage they were a lot of crates laying around I looked down on the bed and it look like does beds in military movies that were used at the work I started to climb out of my bed that's when I realized my clothes were changed i was wear white shirt and grey sweatpants at the foot of the bed there were Nike flip flops I wore and started for the door.
When I reached the door I heard voices from the other side of the room arguing It's Eris and the other person was a man he's voice was violent like he was about to attack her but she didn't seem scared and I remembered what she did in the alleyway, I had hoped it was all a dream I still couldn't remember what happened after the black smoke surrounded us , I decided to ease drop a little.
" He survived,didn't he?, Stop complaining!!!."
" What if he died!?!!!!"
" He didn't!!!?"
" Well he could have !!!"
" But he didn't !!!"
"He's listening" another voice said calmly.
" What?!" Eris and the other man both said.
" I mean he is standing at the other side of the door listening "
I realized he was talking about me, I panicked and began to run as quietly as I could back to my bed I tripped over one of the crates and fell, the door opens and I pretend to be doing press ups.
" What are you doing?" I recognized the voice as the one who was arguing with Eris.
"Early morning push up" I replied.
" It's 12 o clock ,you're being weird, get up and come eat." Eris said.
" This cannot be him, it just can't."
I felt insulted I got and dusted my self I turned to face the door and the man was still standing there he was tall, his hair was rough but he had a pretty face like a model, he had a scar on the left side of his face that ran from his cheek to his chin, he was ripped but not large like an MMA fighter I felt jealous, his eyes were red like Eris's but they had a darker tint, He stood with he arms crossed and looked like he was disgusted I walk towards and try to pass the door without touching him.
" Excuse me "
The room I entered was like an indoor gym and a war room were soldiers were briefed before a mission there was a table with a lot of food and another man probably the man who 'snitched' me , he had on a cream colored suit with a white turtleneck shirt inside he too had different colored eyes, he's was yellow.
I sat down beside Eris and she gestured me to start eating.
" How are you feeling"
My mouth was stuffed so I swallowed hard before answering.
" Ok , Just a slight headache"
" So you don't feel like you're missing a part of your body?"
I choked on my food and coughed.
" I.....think so " ;I said in between coughs.
" You see Diemos he's perfectly fine"; she said facing the man with the rough hair."
" No he needs rest before we begin" said the man in a suit.
Now that I had eaten and I was calm I noticed that they both looked alike, like they were twins.
"I think we should start today" said Diemos .
I didn't like the way they talked about me like I wasn't there,they all pretended not to see me except for Eris who was silently looking right at me.
"Today we explain everything to him and make him understand if he is over the shock by tomorrow then we start, Eris ?, How did you get Apollo to back down."
They both begin at stare at her , She puts her index finger in front of her lips and says: " Our little secret."
They both sigh and then Eris gets up from her seat for Diemos to sit, He scans me asif looking for evidence that I was who Eris said I was .
" We shall begin with introductions, I'm Diemos, that's my brother Phobus" he gestured at the man in a suit.
"And this is my aunt Eris, Tell me Andrew do you know anything about Greek mythology?"
" Uhhhh....Just a bit "
" Well then I'll just give you the details necessary at this moment, In Greek mythology they were two Gods of fear they had fear divided into subdivision Terror and Dread, Diemos is god of terror whilst Phobus is the god of dread, We are does gods. Eris here is the god of choas and your little sister whilst we are your sons although you also have a daughter but she seemed to have disappeared since your demise but we do sense her presence from time to time nobody has seen her"
" Wait! Wait! Wait! hold up, what do you mean sons?,You guys look almost 35 years old I mean....."
"Don't worry no one is asking you to take responsibility and when I say you're my dad I meant the 'you' before not....this you " he said the last part like was the disease.
" Well if I'm Ares why was Apollo trying to kill me I mean we're supposed to be siblings, right?"
"You guys never really had that sibling love if you understand my drift"
"Most have been really bad for him to try to kill me"
"You had your issues but him trying to kill you is a different matter altogether"
I didn't say anything again for the first time I let all this sink in gods really existed and somehow I was in the middle of some type of conflict then I broke the silence.
"So why I'm I here?"
" To train"
" For what?"
" Since Apollo has failed to kill you, his 'employer' is going to send everything in his power at you and believe me he has a lot of power".
" So what chance do I have against gods and who is his 'employer'?"
" Zeus and we've been watching?, You might have lost your immortality but it seems your powers are still intact a bit uncultivated but intact "
I knew exactly what he meant, the way I made things to burn fire, and caused fights in a whim.
" So if I learn to use them then I can take the gods"
Diemos laughed so hard he started to cough.
" No way , but at least you'll have a fighting chance and my Phobus here thinks that if we push you hard enough you could actually access my father's memories and use his skills, and maybe just maybe we could speed up your attention but you have to willing accept our help."
I realized that he was giving me a chance to opt out I look at Eris she look like she was pleading with her eyes, I look at Phobus it felt like he was studying me and I looked back at Diemos, he wanted me to back out,he wanted to say "no thank you" and walk out.
"I'm in."
