Keith's POV
After my encouter with my biological father, dinala niya ko sa Olympus and introduced me sa wife niyang si Auntie Hera. She was very welcoming and sobrang bait niya sakin. Nagprepare pa nga siya ng food for me. Pero ang sabi ni Ganymede ako lang daw yung anak ni Zeus sa ibang babae na naging mabait si Auntie Hera. Usually daw she tries to kill them.
Zeus on the other hand had a short temper. I can't even fool around habang tinuturuan niya ko. I was there for days! Buti na lang talaga naituro na ni Auntie Hera lahat ng basics sakin or else I'd be worried na baka nireport na ko ng pamilya ko as a missing person sa mortal realms.
Parang mahigit tatlong araw bago nag decide si Zeus na tapusin na ang training ko. He praised my stamina and said that I was more than ready for the rebellion. Mahirap man aminin pero I felt a weird feeling after he praised me.
Nang makabalik ako sa mortal realms Jake was reading a book habang naka-dapa sa mesa. I then snapped my fingers to continue the time. Agad ako nag paalam kay Jake para umuwi. He just waved back then continued reading his book.
Jake's POV
It's been weeks since I saw Gabbie and Keith. I'm quite anxious dahil tahimik ang rebellion, and walang demigod na nagpapa-ramdam sa paligid ko. The calm before the storm maybe?
I'm also quite impressed with Gabbie and Keith's professionalism. Pag training kahit di sila nag sasalita, they execute a great teamwork. Ibang-iba yung chemistry nila when it comes to fighting. Keith's power added with Gabbie's support, perfection! I highly believe na kaya ganito sila ka-effective as a team kasi they know and trust each other kahit na there are things na hindi nila napag-u-usapan pa.
Though after namin mag train usually nauuna na umalis si Gabbie.

"Free ba kayo? Tara dinner tayong tatlo!" Aya ko sa kanila habang nagpu-punas ng pawis.
Sobrang nakaka-pagod kasi ang training namin today. Pina-baba kami ni Lord Zeus sa Underworld and we fought tons of zombies. Though mabilis namin naubos lahat, Lord Hades, who was tasked to observe was not satisfied with our record. But still he praised us for our team work. Pero kung sa Olympus namin to ginawa at yung tatay ni Keith ang bantay? Malamang nasigawan na kami non.
Kaya eto, pag balik naming tatlo sa mortal realms halos mawalan na kami ng hininga sa sobrang pagod.
"Sure! 9 pm pa naman basketball game namin." Sang-ayon ni Keith saka tinanggal ang tshirt niya at nag punas ng katawan.
"Ikaw Gabbie?" I asked. Pag tingin ko kay Gabbie naka-talikod ito kay Keith habang nangangamot ng ulo.
"Enjoy na lang kayong dalawa. Bawi ako next time. Need ko kasing kitain yung bestfriend ko nung middle school." Sambit ni Gabbie habang nag mamadaling iligpit ang bag niya.
"Si Rilee ba?" Biglaang tanong ni Keith.
Medyo napatigil saglit si Gabbie dahil kina-usap siya ni Keith.
"Ah, oo." Matipid niyang sagot.
"Pa-kamusta na lang. Enjoy kayo." Nakangiting sambit ni Keith
Gabbie just smiled and then left the room as fast as they could.
"Thanks for trying kahit alam mong di siya papayag." Keith uttered without looking at me.
After maligpit ni Keith lahat ng gamit niya nagpaalam siya na he'll be showering at magkita na lang daw kami sa lobby. Oh Gods! Mas challenging pa atang pag batiin ang former bestfriends na to kesa hanapin lahat ng demigods.
