I woke up mind fuzzy. I sat up and looked around the unfamiliar surroundings. I was sitting on a dark brown leather couch. Cabinets line the wall to my right.  A table with papers scattered on it sat on the right side of the room, centered with the window on the right wall. A door was on the wall in front of me. I found my bag by the couch I was laying on.  

I left the room realizing it was the student council room. I'd wondered how I ended up there. It was getting dark outside. I'm sure Hermes is already at the dorm by now.



--dorm--

I dropped my stuff by my bed and did my normal routine; shower, snack, homework, dinner, and TV. Once I was done I got my laptop out and went to look for my mother. It was as if she was a ghost. I started to lose hope that she even lives. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, maybe... no, no she has to be alive. I shut my laptop and got ready for bed.

I tried to sleep but I had so much on my mind. Who is my mom, is she even alive? Will Than ever forgive me? Can we ever be friends again? How is Cerberus doing?

Eventually, my mind drifted to sleep.


*Flashback to after high school fencing match I'd lost*


I throw my sabre mask onto the floor. I was tired of losing, something that I could do so easily once is now impossible. I was frustrated and done. I took a deep breath in and calmed myself. and walked out of the locker room. 

My father, Hades, walked past me, head up not even acknowledging me. That made me feel smaller than I already was. 

He stopped and turned to me, "I think it would be best to quit this dumb thing and make something of yourself for once. Especially with that embarrassing display, you did in there."

He then turned and left me..

Alone, frustrated, and exhausted..
