My Little Goddess (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 4: Ares's Sword

              Lucas gave Natasha a heart-warming smile and everyone yawned, Lucas laughed. Then they all went inside their tents and slept Natasha sharing a tent with Lucas again. The morning started with hunting food for breakfast, they got 5 rabbits because of Jolo’s eagle eye and Lucas’s knowledge of traps and snares, Ian Martinez has taught him. Then Natasha cooked rabbit stew with the rabbits. For a princess nobody expected her cooking to taste so amazing. They all ate and Lucas extinguished the fire, they took the left-over to be eaten later when they’re hungry.

               “Well, I guess we should be heading out before an army attacks us” Lucas said putting their supplies on the back of the horse.

               Natasha gave Lucas an assuring nod “I guess we increased members, it’ll be harder for us to move fast especially since we also increased supplies that the horse may not be able to move as fast”

               “Are we slowing you down? If we are we can afford to go to Olympus ourselves, it’s alright, if you can’t take us with you” Jared said while looking at Lucas and Natasha.

               Lucas gave them a slight laugh “Who told you ‘you could leave’?” Lucas asked them.

               Jolo laughed and looked at Jared “Well, I’d follow Jared. Athena gave me this ‘big responsibility’ to protect her sons and daughters. This is why I was called a son of fate, I play a big role for Athena, I swore on the River Styx to fulfill this fate of mine.”

               Natasha looked at her horse and touched its nose “Oh, I seem to have forgotten to name you. Well, I’ll think right now” the horse neighed.

               Lucas laughed and then smiled “Sorry, Natasha has the habit of changing topics at certain times so I guess you guys are still coming. Speaking of names, I haven’t named my eagle yet.” He grinned “I guess we should both think of names, Tasha” he added

               Natasha hugged the horse’s neck and said “You must be female; I guess I’ll name you Reina. That’s a pretty name isn’t it?” The hose seemed to neigh in approval.

               Lucas smiled at Natasha and patted her head “That’s a nice name, can you name my eagle for me?” he said with his heart-warming smile.

               The eagle rested on Lucas’s shoulders and Natasha gave the eagle a pat in the head “How about the name Skyscraper, sounds nice for a gift from Zeus.”

               He smiled at Natasha and looked at his eagle “Skyscraper, I like it. What does it mean?” He raised an eyebrow at Natasha.

               Natasha looked at him and gave him an assuring look “Skyscraper means a tall building but I like it, it matches him well he even surpassed flying limits. I just like it, it sounds intimidating.”

               They left camp and headed for another village. Natasha was wearing a short grey dress about 30 inches long and black leggings with her white hunting boots and her white flower-patterned hood. Her hair was on a ponytail with locks of hair beside her face. Lucas was wearing a blue t-shirt, black pants and brown hunting boots, his hair was spiked up again and for once he wasn’t wearing his coat so his brown belt was there with a dagger strapped to it and they saw it, the dagger given to him by Athena strapped around his left leg, and his eagle in his shoulder standing proud.

               It was a beautiful dagger with a thin blade able to support speed; the sharp double hollow grind is made of gold. The dagger had a white quillion, a dirty white handle, and a brown sheath. Jared was wearing a dark grey shirt that matched his eyes pretty well and black pants a brown belt with a sword strapped to it. The blade was sharp and it was made of silver and the fuller was made of gold. The grip was grey and had a gold pommel. He was wearing black roman sandals and he had a bag strapped around his back that contained food.
