Thalia's POV
Training started two days after the gods and Apollyon arrived. Zeus and Posideon ascended back to Olympus while Hades stayed behind. Uncle Leon had contacted Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus and they too were on their way.
The guilds were split up into 3 groups, each one headed by another trainer. The teens were all with mom, the adults with Apollyon, and the third party guilds with Hades.
I was decked out in shorts and a tank top, my black hair up in twin buns. Bags hung under my eyes and I was woozy from lack of coffee that morning. Silver was in shorts and no shirt, looking a lot like dad today, Nashi next to him in the weird baggy pants his father liked to wear and boots, a loose tank over his chest that radiated muscles.
To my left was Galena in her same black leather jacket, happily chewing on a piece of iron and beside her was Reiki, his bangs up in a man bun.
Mom took center field in her black combat boots, sweats and tank, her hair up in a ponytail. She scanned the training area, a wide smile on her face as her wings appeared and she cracked her knuckles.
"Okay, recruits, first things first: stretching. Without the basic warm up, you'll hurt yourself and if you pull something training, I don't want you bitching and moaning for the rest of the day. After that its ten laps around the field and then meet up at the center for practice. Go!"
I quickly stretched out my back, neck, arms and legs before taking off down the field to do the laps. When I got back, I collapsed on my training spot, the rest of the group already back and in ship shape position.
"Ms. Anastos-Fullbuster, on your feet. That is how the titan will kill you." I sweatdropped, getting up and standing straight, staring at mom.
"Now," fog surrounded us and one by one, shady souls sprouted out of the ground. "These are your test dummies. They can't touch you, but I've allowed them to fight back by infusing them with some of my magic. If you can beat them, you will move on to the next round, where two of you will be pitted against each other and then one by one you'll be made to face off against me. Over the weeks, you will keep fighting me until you win and then move on to Apollyon when you're ready. He'll be harder to fight than me, but if you beat him, that means you've beaten a titan slayer. Those who beat Apollyon will stand with us when we go up against the titans and the rest will be in charge of taking out whatever they decide to bring out of Tartaurus with them. Do we understand?"
"Yes sir!" Everyone chimed in except me as I paced, biting my lip. Out of my peripherals I could see Nashi and Silver share a wicked grin, no doubt wanting to get through this to try and beat mom. So were Galena and Reiki. I looked down at my toes, rocking back and forth on my heels before staring at the soul in front of me.
"On your marks...Get set...Fight!"
A/N
Yo! So I know this was a short chapter but it felt natural ending it there since the next chapter is a fighting one.
Thanks for sticking by this fanfic even though I might not have, and for any new readers, welcome.
That's it for now, folks.
