Myth Or History?

Chapter 3:I refuse!

I came home and quickly rushed into the bathroom to get the blood off of me. So I took my clothes off and went into the shower to wash it off. However when I tried to turn on the shower the valve came straight off. When I got that to work and grabbed the soap it broke into pieces.

-What is wrong with my body?-I asked out loud.

I then gently touched everything in order to not break it and showered as best as I could. When I looked in the mirror there was no more blood on me. I looked at my clothes and was about to complain about what I could do to the blood, but it was smoking. I picked up my clothing from the ground and saw that the blood was evaporating. I touched the blood to see what happened and then it all started to burn more rapidly. I took my finger off and just started putting it all on. I came out of the bathroom and then something came to me.

-The goat!-I whisper yelled. I needed to check if it would evaporate as well. I ran downstairs to get my bag, yet I found myself simply leaping off the steps and landing perfectly on the ground next to my bag. At the moment I was too rushed so I acted on instinct, I grabbed my bag and then found myself leaping all the way to the top of the stairs. After that I realized what had just happened.

-How did I do that?-I asked myself looking blankly into my hand.

I went outside and made sure no one was looking. Then I decided to do an experiment. My house is a two story house and quite big. There is a good twenty feet between the floor of our yard and the roof. I lept as hard as I could and found myself surpassing the roof by a lot. I was actually quite scared of the height from which I fell, although I landed as if I had only hopped down from the last step of the stairs leading to the upper floor in my house. I pulled out my phone and made a conference call(group call) to my friends who witnessed the Chimera.

-Hey, what's up Jace?-Brice said

-Yeah man, you okay?-Tyrone asked.

-Yeah I am.-I replied-Isabelle are you there?

-Yeah.-she simply replied.

-Okay, everyone, come to my house immediately, there's something important I need you to see.-I eagerly answered.- It's a two story house with Red paint and Orange columns in the second floor balcony.

-Okay. Got it.-they replied.

A few minutes later they arrived at my house and assembled at my yard.

-So why did we need to come here immediately?-Brice asked and by the look on their faces, Isabelle and Tyrone thought the same thing.

-This is why.-I replied as I proceeded to recreate the stunt.

I surpassed the roof once again and then landed on my feet comfortably. As I landed they stood there petrified, not being able to process what had happened. Until one of them broke the silence.

-What the hell man!-Brice yelled.- What the hell are you, a trampoline!?

-I don't know how I'm able but that's not the end of it either.-I replied.- Look.

I took a cement block and gave it to them so they could confirm it's real. They confirmed and gave it back to me. I then held it with one hand and put it in front of me, arm fully extended, like it was nothing. Then I applied pressure to it, squeezing it as hard as I could and it eventually shattered from the force.

-No way!-Tyrone yelled.-you can't possibly be human.

-He's not.-said a familiar voice.-he's a God Slayer.

Everyone focused on the origin of the voice... It was my mother.

-What do you mean God Slayer!?-Brice demanded.-What's a God Slayer!?

-I don't know, I just know that's what he's called.-she calmly answered.-a man came a few months ago, he called himself Susanoo. He warned me of what he was. Apparently, when you kill mythical creatures and touch their blood your abilities are boosted, like strength and speed. I know you came home drenched in blood.

-I uh...-I stuttered.-I killed a Chimera, along with Brice and Tyrone.

-I figured as much. I saw the goat head in your bag-she continued.-he also told me that there are some people who buy things like that. So you could make a living out of killing monsters.

-That is if you live.-I heard a voice say.
I turned around and saw a man walking towards me, he was barely wearing any armor but his presence sure was intimidating.

-You killed a Chimera-the man said.-I'm impressed, but I wanna see what you're truly capable of, God Slayer.

-Look man, I know I'm a God slayer but I don't want to start a fight or anything. I wanna live a normal life.-I said.

My friends were just as worried as I was because of this man, but Brice seemed like he was more scared than the rest of us. He seemed to know something.

-It's not your choice to make, as someone associated to the Gods I must defeat someone who kills Gods.-he continued.- or rather someone with that potential. First, I will test you, like I was once tested. You will fight the Hydra.

Brice finally made spoke.-There's no doubt about it anymore. You're Heracles, or Hercules to the Romans!

-Well well well, looks like you figured it out.-he replied.-Heracles, just to clear that up.

-Jace, don't fight him or the Hydra.-Brice said.-He's basically a God! You saw what Susanoo did!

-That's the thing! I'm not trying to be a God Slayer, I refuse to be one!-I yelled in anger.

-You have no choice!-Heracles yelled.-You were born a God Slayer! So now you must die like one!

As he yelled I saw lightning crash in front of us and from it, materialized the Hydra.

-Die, God Slayer!-he yelled.
