The Ascended

Temple

The temple I walked into was big and empty. I didn't see anyone around me, so I continued walking into it. I was stopped by a man. He was dressed in ancient tribal clothing made from animal hides. He had two different colored eyes, one was black and the other was white.

"Greetings traveller, I'm am the spirit of this temple. My name is Mikados." he said.

"Greetings sir, I noticed your temple from a few miles back and I was wondering if a small group of people came by here." I told him.

"How were able able to see through the cloaking magic used to protect this place?" Mikados asked me.

He looked at me surprised and said, "I shall answer your questions as soon as you pass my test."

As soon as he said that a huge statue cane life and charged me with a sword. It swung it's sword with full force. I stepped to the side and dodged it with ease. I turn and hit the sword with so much force that it shatters. The statue step back and I charged at full force. After a few hits I left it in pieces.

"I passed your test, Mikados." I told him between breaths

" Good job, now follow me." He said.

Mikados stood up and walked me to a room.

"This is were you shall stay, while I train you."

"Train me?" I asked.

"Yes, you have great power that needs to be harnessed."

"Oh ok, when do we start?"

"Tomorrow, I will give time to settle in."

"Thank you, Mikados."

He turns and walks away, leaving me in front of a door. I walk in and the room looks exactly like my room from the house I used to live in. Epsilon walks in and flops herself on my bed and starts sleeping.

"Good idea, girl." I say as I shoe her to the side and get in bed.

An alarm wakes me up at the crack of dawn. I get up, get ready, and walk to the mess hall with Epsilon. I see Mikados sitting there and I sit across to him.

"Today is your first day of training and from now on you shall call me master, understood?" he firmly told me.

"Of course, master." I respond.

I quickly finish my breakfast of bread, cheese, and water. I hear a squishing sound and I turn to see Epsilon eating what looked like steak.

"Lucky." I tell her.

She barks and carries her food to me and eats right next to me.

"Your so mean." I tell her.

She continues eating and I get up and walk to the area Mikados was walking to. He sees me and has me do sit ups, sprints, push ups, and other basic workout exercises. He starts train my dog because she can make a great battle partner. Mikados even trained me in what he called lost magic, occasionally. The whole time I was training I couldn't help but wondering if he knew he was training a god.
