Pantheon Secondary School for Young Immortals and Demigods

Tales From Troy

"Girls, how was your first day at Pantheon Secondary School for Young Immortals and Demigods?"

"Fun. I got in my first fight, met Luna's Mother, made some more friends, an enemy. You know the usual grade 9 drama." Pearl tells Achilles as he makes the girls a snack. Adagio being Adagio is sitting at the kitchen table doing her homework. Luna on the other hand is on her phone playing some game.

"Naturally,"

"Who did you fight?"

"Dardanus,"

"Ah the son of Zeus and Venus," Achilles shakes his head. "what gave you the means to fight him?"

"He dumped a slushie down my back,"

Glued to her device Luna makes a sly remark. "Pearl, I thought children of Poseidon don't get wet." Pearl snaps her head in Luna's direction and Luna simply ignores the young goddess glaring at her.

"You know what, I oughta dump water on you. Then we'll see who's waterproof."

Luna saves her game and turns off her phone, before engaging with Pearl. "I'd like to see you try, that is if you can catch me."

"You're on!"

"Girls not now, you can have a water fight in training," Achilles yells over the two. "Now, come an eat your snacks."

"Snacks!" Luna jumps over the couch and lands beside the table. Pearl snorts at her friend's immediate change of character.

"Never would have guessed that Luna would love snacks."

"You're so sarcastic." Luna states with her mouth full of green apple slices. In return, Pearl sticks her tongue out and shoves apple into her mouth. Both Adagio and Achilles snicker at the girls.  Neither the ghost or young goddess can tear their eyes from the pair.

Adagio eventually turns her attention to "So Achillies, we're supposed to watch the movie Troy tonight, is there anything we should know?"

"Uh...the movie is dreadfully accurate, aside from Patroclus."

"What about Patroclus?"

"...he should have been my lover instead of cousin."

"What! Why did they change it?"

"It was the early 2000s, so they weren't accepting of gays. So, unfortunately, they made him my cousin."

"Gross,"

"How is that gross?" Achilles asks pulling the attention from himself to Luna's issue. One that needs to be addressed.

"Gross as in they should burn for their sin, Greeks are known for being bisexual and gay," Luna explains. Achilles nods full-heartedly agreeing with the young goddess.

"Oh, I thought you meant Patroclus and me."

"No! It's the 21st century they need to get with the times," Luna scowls at Achilles' accusation. The old ghost backs away from Luna's sudden change of character. An act much like Pearl than Iris' offspring.

"Apologies,"

Achilles turns from Luna to the sisters. Both stare back as if they were enjoying a show. "Is there anything else you'd like to know about the movie or should I press play."

"You can press play," Pearl mockingly grins as she would her at Mother. Like she and her Father are hiding something.

"Is that a trick or..."

"Just press play," Pearl exclaims. Achilles hesitantly glances at the sisters before walking over to the tv. Both Pearl and Adagio stare at the ghost manifestation as he moves to press play.
