The fire balls raced down with amazing speed. I grabbed the one arm soldier doing patrol duty with me by the straps on his breast plate. Where was I going I honestly had no idea.

As the fireballs hit I threw him down as they crashed into houses and streets. When the air assult stopped thousands of Persians raced across the land scape on horse or on foot.

I drew my sword and so did the other soldier we raced towards Spartas city gates the other soldiers had made a phlangite formation were you make a square shaped formation in defense.

I watched as the Persian army got closer. When they slammed into the battle formation. A captain yelled "SPARTANS NOW!!"the back of the formation parted and flanked the first wave of Persians. They were no match and were soon dead. Then the real fight started i readied myself as
More came. The first with an with an ax he swung at neck, I dropped and rolled to his left flank and gutted him

The next had a sword, he tried to stab me, i was to slow but it bounced of my breast plate. I swung hitting his neck and i got sprayed with blood.
I kicked him in the chest making him fall back.

Soon they would overwhelm us, we needed assistance but they were attacking the other side of Sparta also. 5 Persians ran towards me and surrounded me.

A gruff voiced one said "surrender now and you live" my helmet blocked my sight so I took it off... and slammed it in his face then i stabbed him i ducked and rolled as another swung his sword at me. I had rolled out side the circle and ran one through with my sword. Only three left. One had a net and a trident. He threw the net and i got tangled in it. He lifted his trident and this time it did go through my armor.

It dug into my chest and stomach and i screamed. It burned like fire and spots danced across my vision he stabbed again this time all three points sank all the way down untill the head contacted with my armor "AHHHHHA."

I cried out in pain and spit up blood, I thought they would finish me off but a blue caped Athenian warrior slammed into the Persian with the trident. And gutted one and the third ran off. the trident wielding persian trusted at him but the Athenian side stepped and slit his throat. The Athenian cut the net and dragged me out. I coughed more blood up.

He dragged me towards a wounded out post before three arrows sprouted from his chest plate. He drew his sword but got ran through with a spear.

The persian stood over me and readied his spear. But about thirty Athenians turned the corner and one hit him with a javelin. I got picked up and thrown across the back of a Athenian. He got me
to the medical camp. A togad man rushed and started working. He filled the cavities with liquid that burned and then lit the liquid on fire "OWWWWW". HE had seared the wounds shut. He then bandaged my midissection. I tried to stand but i was to weak. "Rest" the doctor sternly said. I wanted to fight but i knew i was in no shape. I rested my head and soon fell asleep.

When i woke up i felt like i had been severly wounded. O wait i had, silly me. The doctor came by and fed me a pudding that tasted like my mothers homemade beefy stew. "Yep he's a demigod "mutterd the doctor. "Get him to mount Vesuvius". I drifted back to sleep. The third time i woke up my armor was gone and i had a toga on. I lifted the toga to discover i had three scars on my stomach

I had woken in a strange room with dark stone walls. Ok I thought what the hell is a demigod.
