Have you ever wondered about what happens when you die? Where you go? What you do? That's for another day.

My name is Zianna Scintilla. My father is the all powerful Zeus. Yes, I know. Greek mythology is real!?! Yes, yes it is. Eons ago the gods and goddesses created an equilibrium. Where the mythological and mortal live in a harmonic balance.

Many sacrifices have been made for this equality.

This balance

This burden to maintain this equality. This hardship. It all comes with my legacy. The destiny that comes closer everyday. The destiny that I can't rain check. The destiny that all humanity. All the living and dead depend on. The moment I was born into this world, a weight has been dropped on me. Have you experienced the feeling of weight on your shoulders? The weight of your loved ones, your friends. The weight that they entrusted on you. The weight they expect you to lift.

They expect me to fulfill my father's legacy when the time comes. However, I'm not ready to take such a step. I am weak. And I'm not gaining strength anytime soon. Whether I like it or not. They say strength comes through wisdom and your patience of persistence. But wisdom doesn't come as easily as it used to.

How do I gain strength? How do I maintain this expected balance?

I want to become stronger. I need to become stronger. Everyone is counting on me. I can't let them down. They work so hard, pushing themselves to an extent. To their limit. 

They persist to create a path towards a bright future. My job? To clear that path of its foes and obstacles. To strike them down. To protect my loved ones from harm. To prevent the sadness and grief of war. Of course I'm not alone. Of course I need help. Without it, I am useless. I am deprived of determination and grit. The determination to persist.   

There are many other tasks I must overcome. One that prioritizes all. One that comes first even before war, death, and sacrifice.

Highschool.

So let's rewind, to when worries were obsolete...


And as always...
