Reyna
Reyna didn't celebrate birthdays. She forgot how being remembered felt like.
She squinted as the warm rays of sunlight hit her spot on. Reyna stretched her body like a cat and yawned.
Gods, she didn't experience much of a good night's sleep for a long time.
She let her thoughts wander to the most mundane things...like the smell of toast floating all over her loft, she bought one inside New Rome as soon as she had the money. She planned to live a life in here once she's done with her service to the legion. Her eyes caught a glimpse of the SPQR tatto on her shoulder. Four marks. Six years more. Perhaps she just planned too early.
The Senate hadn't questioned her properties...yet. This didn't matter much, she hoped.
Reyna rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and begrudgingly walked downstairs.
The smell of toast and bacon wafted over her nose. Her mouth watered.
Gods. This is how it felt like. No duties. No responsibilities. Waking up late without worrying about disappointing others...
She glanced at the clock by the wall. It's six forty.
"Morning Coach," she mumbled and sat on the stool by the table.
The satyr was cooking.
"Morning cupcake. How do you like your eggs?"
She almost spat out the toast she was chewing on.
Her co-praetor, Jason, or ex-praetor had once cracked the same joke while they cleared the river Tiber from basilisks. Nasty things.
"Hey Reyna!"
"What is it now Jason?"
Her stomach grumbled.
Jason had the glint of amusement in his eyes.
"How do you like your eggs?''
"Wha-"
"Poached, scrambled...or fertilized!?"
Then he cracked up.
It took her three seconds to let it sink in.
"Oh wait..."
"Look...at...you!" Jason said in between laughs.
Reyna tossed a hissing basilisk at Jason with her stick.
Jason yelped. "Oh for the love of Jupiter..."
They ended up soaked and scorched from playing with fire breathing basilisks.
Reyna smiled at the memory. She didn't feel the twinge in her chest every time she remembered Jason... not anymore.
"Hey!" Coach Hedge pulled her out of her memories.
