The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 3

Soon after his trip to the astral plane, jake came back to reality, to wake up to another day at his own house.

"ugh.. why am I sweating all over? and was I dreaming?" jake said as he gets up

He was now in his own room, early in the morning, as if he has forgotten about everything that had happened.

"Gotta wash off my sweat first." Jake said as he gets ready to get a bath

After he got a bath, jake instinctively remembers what ares has told him, which gave him an idea to practice his martial arts at the roof. There at the roof, he practices for the day, where jake practices with his reflexes, techniques, and his strength. Then at night, hes brought again towards the astral plane.

"Uhh.. where am i?" Jake

"You are in the astral plane boy, welcome back." Death said, which surprised jake

Jake and death was at the entry way to the astral plane, which has a cave at the back while a cliff at the front.

"Whoa! Who are you?! And why am i here?!" Jake said backing away.

"I guess it cant be helped." Death

As death said that, he draws near towards jake as he also backs away.

"Dont worry, i wont harm you." Death said as jake was cornered with nowhere else to go.

There, death put his finger on jakes forehead and made him remember everything that has happened.

"Hahh.. death, why would you erase my memories of this place anyways?" Jake said as he stood up

"Dont argue with it, since it will also save your life in the near future." Death

"Oh, ok then." Jake

"Well, lets go, you are already a bit late for your lessons." Death said as he about face

"So, do we walk towards there?" Jake said following death

"Absolutely no. You still remember how to channel your energy right?" Death

"Yes." Jake said as they reached the edge of the cliff again at the entrance

"So, lets go." Death said as he flew from the edge

"A-alright then." Jake said as he began to channel the energy inside him so that he can fly

"Now thats my boy. Lets go." Death said before they flew towards heaven

They now flew towards heaven, towards the war room, where ares and thor are waiting.

"Your late jake!" Ares said shoutingas they walk towards them inside the arena

"Haha, let your anger go somewhere else ares. Hes still just a boy, and with his situation now, its only--" thor

Ares cuts him off, "yeah, yeah. I know. How can i even have my spartan teaching if hes late one the very first day?"

Both of them were stretching themselves as they ready for the training.

"There is still time for in training right? You could just be spartan by then." Thor

"Hahh.." ares said before he looks at jake with a smile

"Please go easy on him, hes still human." Death said as jake had the shivers from ares looking at him

"Yes, we know. But soon, he will be sparring equally with us." Thor said with a smile

"Looking forward to that day boy." Ares
