Chapter Three

Kardian's POV

Five years later

For the past 5 years I have been learning about Gods, about my parents and I have been training. Turns out I'm quite skilled with a sword and spears. Father still doesn't want me to reveal myself to anybody so I never get any visitors.

I have also been training with my powers. Turned out I could stop time (not forever unfortunately) rewind time, read people's minds, I could copy anyone's powers if I see them use their powers with my own eyes and I could memorize anything just by catching a quick glimpse. It comes in handy when learning math and stuff. (Yeah, my dad made me learn by getting me math books, science books and so on and I had to read every single one of them!)

Spending time with my dad was great! Of course sometimes he had to leave. He said he was looking for people to join his army so he can be freed. I asked if I could help and he abruptly refused saying 'I don't want you caught up in any of this my son. One day we will be together without having to hide'

I don't fight with him of course. I don't really want to fight anyone. But I'm no stranger to fighting. Father says I'm stronger than most demigods, (which I found out were children of Gods and Goddesses and are half human with powers like me)

Right now I was walking through the forest, on my way to the lake by my house. It was a gorgeous day out today. I for one, intend to make the most of it. Nothing like going for a swim in the lake!

I round the corner to where the lake was to find a kid who looks about my age, maybe a little older, bleeding from a wound to his stomach.

I quickly run to him to offer my help. He sees me and takes out a knife and aims it at me. I quickly put my hands up and stop in front of him.

'I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help. Are you ok?' I ask.

'Who are you?' The guy completely ignores my question.

'My name is Kardian. What is your name?' I ask.

'I'm Luke. Who is your god father?' He asks.

'Uh I am not allowed to say who my father is. But I have a house a few minutes away. I got medical supplies there if you will accept my help' I replied.

Luke dagger hand falls to his side.

'Ok' He manages to say before passing out.

I quickly run to him catch him before he hits the ground. I pull him over my shoulder and walk back home.

So much for swimming at the lake! I thought grumpily.

The walk back was, for some reason, shorter than walking to the lake. I quickly open the front door and close it behind me. I run to the living room table and lay Luke down. I then run to the nearest bathroom and pull out a med kit from the cabinet.

I run back and rip off Luke's shirt to clean the wound. Darn it, I wish I read that medical book dad gave me. It sure would have been useful right now.

Oh well, guess I have to improvise.

I take out a rag from the kit and clean the wound. I then take out wrapping and wrap his stomach with it. Once I'm finished, I go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Opening the fridge, I find some left over pizza.

'Lucky!' I said.

I personally LOVE pizza! It's the greatest invention ever created since the television!

'What's lucky?' I hear someone ask from behind me.

I jump, startled since I never get visitors except my dad.
