Chapter 3

Hey mom! welcome back- I said to my mother who was standing in the front door of the King Fortress wearing her military uniform and carrying her brown travel bag over her left shoulder after returning from a special training overseas. It's been five years since I discovered that my olympian father was Hades, son.

I'm back kid !- she said, clearly I could see how exhausted she is from her trip and training, she has black eyes bags from the lack of sleep and all her body seems that its barely standing up.

-Come on in and sit, grandma will arrive soon from the grocery shop and grandpa it's in the backyard -I tell her while grabbing her bag and take it to the living room. There the moment she sits on the couch she falls asleep and then I covered her with a blanket so she will be more comfortable.

After letting my mother sleep in the living room I went to the backyard where my grandpa had to make the shed there in his workshop was he usually give maintenance to his guns and hunting rifles, to let him know that my mother had arrived and she was resting a little bit.

We will wake her up when supper is ready, want to help me out with the guns today?- he told me without looking away from his gun. In the last years when I stayed with them after my eighth birthday, he started teaching mi about guns names and how they worked and last year he let me help him cleaning them and show me how to dismantle them to give them proper care and how to assemble them. I enjoyed to learn about guns, and always asked him to teach me to use them but he will say the same thing " you're to young wait a couple of years". SoI refused his offer and went to my room which was my mother's room when she was young. It is a simple room not to small and no to big I have a single bed on one side and there a desk where I do my homework, how I hate to do homework one of the many disadvantages of been young again.

In the last couple of years I have been training in my free time to get fit, with running, some push-ups, crunches and more in my daily routine, and I don't know but I think that my immortal half boost the results and I could expend 3or 4 of training without getting exhausted and every time I feel with more energy.

In school I´m finishing the 7th grade while skipping to years you could say that being an I reincarnated it something easy to achieve, but I tell you now it is one hell of a challenge when your mind it's easily distracted by anything and you can't focus, but somehow I managed to train it with a lot of meditation and will. Focus on one thing but always alert to my surroundings so when someone tried to trowing me something at class I could evade them easy with a simple move of my head or leaning my body to the side so it attempts it fails instead.

So now in being in my room I will start my daily training with my powers that I have been discovering and also by recalling some from the books. The first part of the training consists of getting 5 rocks around me on the floor while sitting and make them float and spin around me, that's to train my geomancy, I could move the earth a little now and make stone float and throw them. Also, I can identify any kind of metal or gemstones when I'm in contact with them or if it one in the underground or close if I focus a lot, I have big plans coming soon with this power to survive you need more that by trained and have powers that help a lot but you need money, people, gods and monsters are greedy and with enough money or gold you can do many things so I have some business project coming along when I perfect my power over the mist that's a tricky one to manipulate and I don't have a teacher yet to master it. So I usually train with my cousins by trying to make them change what they think or in school with some bullies that try to harass me thinking that because I'm younger they can make me do stuff so when they tried to something I try using the mist to make them think I'm not there hiding my presence.

-Alex your grandma arrived! come and help her out- Emily shouted when. So I interrupted my training to go help them out carrying the bags and the groceries. When I get downstairs my mother was at the door stretching and yawning.

-Hey let me grab those grandma you should sit down now!.- I took the bags she was carrying.

After finished downloading the stuff we wait for supper to be ready in the living room until the call us to sit at the table. At the table, we hold hands and start praying and giving thanks for the food.

-Dear God thank you for ..... - My grandparents start praying and bowing their head a little bit. I did the same but instead of praying for god, I start praying to my father, " Hey Father, King of the underworld you can take this chicken wing as and offering to you and that everything goes well down there" silently in my mind while opening in the floor a tiny hole and throwing the food through it hopefully, It arrives to someplace in the underworld I don't know but one thing I know that its a bad thing having gods against you so whenever I can pray I give him a small prayer just for having his good side whenever I need a favour for him hopefully I will never need it.

Hey mom, can I ask you something? - while sitting at the table before everyone fins eating I asked my mother.

-Yes honey?-

-Can you and your team train me how to defend myself?-

-Why you said that?- she asked with a concerned look.-

- I'm the smallest of the year, you know that and I don't want to be bullied-

- We will go talk with the school principal if someone is picking on you, tell me their names.-

- No mom !!! I need to this as a man- I replied hear while looking at my grandfather. Knowing he will agree.

- Well said Alex, If you don't agree Emily I will contact some friends so the train him.- My grandfather helped me.

- You should let him do that Em- My grandma also joined to my plea- Men will always be men

"Wow thank you, grandma." I said in my mind never expecting her to join and help.

-Ugh, - she sigh- Okay I will tell them to teach some self-defence and I also will teach you some tricks myself.

And with getting some military training scheduled the rest of the dinner went normal and then I went to sleep while my mind was full of plans. It was already 1 year for me to go to the half-blood camp.
