 The next day, I had gotten both Sabrina and Aiden in the same place, at the same time. I told them to go to the sunniest place of the river. When I arrived, Aiden wasn't there. He was hiding in some shade. I sighed and walked up to Sabrina.

"Oh hello, William!" Sabrina said. "Aiden's hiding behind a tree." "I know. He's not a very good hider," I said. "Oh no, he is. I can just hear his heart beating," She said. "That's one of the things your mother can do. It's been a bit humid out for the past couple of days. I wonder what they're doing?" I said. "Aiden, come on out," I said.

Aiden soon came out of hiding and I asked, "Do you two know why I brought you here?" They both responded with a no. "Well, I'm here to train you two, to send you off to Mt. Olympia," I said.

"Mt. Olympia?!" Sabrina exclaimed. "That's a long way from here!!" "I know, I know. I went on that journey myself," I said. "Yeah, but you're a god. So it must've been easy for you," she said. "Not exactly. I was just told to go there to bring back Eva. I had no idea I was a god," I said, putting my hands on my hips and standing confidently.

"S-So... You're g-going to uh... t-t-train us?" Aiden asked. "Yep! I'm giving you guys the proper training I never got!" I said, looking at them both. "That's awesome!" Sabrina exclaimed. "I'm glad I brought my flute, then!" Sabrina said, taking out her flute.

"Not so fast. We're still waiting on one more person... Why can't she ever be on time?!" I said, a little annoyed.

"Sorry I'm late." Someone said. It was Calypso. She finally had shown up. "FINALLY! What do you so long?" I asked. "I had to get some food and water. After all, we are doing some training," she said.

I sighed and said while pointing at a rock, "Fine. Just set it over there." She set the stuff down and came back. "What is Ms. Drakos doing here?" Aiden asked, forgetting Sabrina was even there. "That's because she's the Goddess of Music, Aiden!" Sabrina said.

Calypso smiled boldly and said, "I'm Calypso, the Goddess of Music, at your service!" Sabrina smiled and said, "Well, Calypso, this is Aiden. The son of the God of Shadows and Goddess of Light!!" "Their names are Aurora and Kage," I said. "Aurora and Kage," Sabrina repeated.

"Anyways, now that everyone is here, we can get to teaching," I said. "Definitely," Calypso said.

"Who's gonna train who?" asked Sabrina. "I was thinking that we could switch each day. So one day, I'll train Aiden and she trains you, and the next day, I train you, and Calypso trains Aiden," I said. "That's actually not a bad idea," Calypso said. "Thanks," I said.

"So you can train us with physical shape, and Calypso can train us with our music," Sabrina said. "That's actually not a bad idea, Sabrina," I said. "Thanks!" Sabrina said with a smile.

"Aiden hasn't talked much," Calypso said. "That's because he's in love with-" I said, before being cut off by Aiden hushing me. "Shhhh!! No!! Don't say a word!" Aiden said frantically. Sabrina just laughed. "Dude, I know you're in love with me. It's a little obvious," Sabrina said, smiling slyly.

"Wh-Whaaaaa?! Me? In love?! Pffff- Never!" Aiden said, letting out a nervous laugh. We all knew he was in love with Sabrina. I sighed and looked at the sunset with my hands on my hips. The others started looking at the sunset as well.

"Why are you looking at the sunset?" Sabrina asked. "That's because I'm soaking in this moment," I said. "Why?" Aiden asked. "Well... When we finish giving you two the training I never got, we're going to have to send you on a similar journey I went on," I said, sitting down.

"Why?" Sabrina asked. "I mean, can't you just take us there?" "Nope. I have to send you on your own and put you guys in dangerous situations. That is, if everything goes according to plan," I said. "What do you mean by 'if everything goes according to plan'?" Calypso asked. "Well, I noticed how Sabrina's mother was treating her and-" I said, before being cut off. "She's not my mother. She's some witch who thinks that Ian is this delicate, little flower who is going to snap in half with just the slightest bit of wind," Sabrina said angrily, with her knees up to her chest.
