Power of the Gods

Chapter 16

Justin woke up to the morning sun shining through the window, Alpha still sleeping at the foot of the bed. He slowly got up and quietly walked over to the closet, opening it, he looked for something to wear. He changed into a similar outfit to what he was wearing the previous day.

Justin looked back inside the closet for a jacket, his eyes stopping on something in the corner. "This looks promising," he said. He pulled out a black leather jacket and put it on. The jacket fit him perfectly and felt somewhat familiar to him.

Justin was looking in the mirror, when he heard a familiar voice behind him. "Good morning, Alpha!" said a cheery voice. Justin turned around to see a younger him getting up from the bed, next to a puppy version of Alpha.

Younger Justin jumped up and ran towards the door just as a knock could be heard from it. Younger Justin opened the door to two silhouettes, a man and a woman. "Morning Mom, morning Dad," Younger Justin said, smiling at them.

Justin wanted to see if he could find out what the silhouettes looked like, but when he took a step, they all disappeared, leaving Justin alone in the room with Alpha still sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, Mikados appeared in the center of the room. "Good morning everyone," he said. "I do hope that all of you slept well last night. We will be meeting in the dining hall for breakfast and to discuss the training regimen that you will be following. To get to the dining hall, just go right from your bedroom door and it will be the first door to the left." Mikados disappeared as Justin woke Alpha up and headed to the door.

When Justin walked into the dining hall, he saw that everyone else had already arrived before him. He took a seat between Lucas and Sam, a plate of warm pancakes appeared in front of him with syrup and butter on it. Justin took a bite, the pancakes were fluffy, as if he had just eaten a part of a cloud.

Mikados appeared at the head of the table. "Since we are all here," he said. "I will be assigning a training regimen for each of you specified for your strength and magic capabilities."

Everyone stopped eating as they were assigned their training, Lucas was paired with Sam and told that Sam would be teaching Lucas how to fight in hand to hand combat. Porter and Kylan were put in a group and told to help strengthen each other's fighting style, Porter to help Kylan use more magic when he fights, and Kylan to help Porter fight for longer periods of time before exhausting his energy.

"So I'm training by myself?" Justin asked.

"Not necessarily," Mikados said. "You will be training with me on how to transform at will, instead of by emotion. Successfully completing this task will allow you to both control your form at full power and allow you to remain conscious when you revert back to your normal form."

Justin nodded and quickly finished his food. "Let's get started then," he said as he stood up. "Where am I training?"

Mikados pointed at the wall and a new door opened up. "Through there," he said.

Justin waved to everyone as he and Alpha walked through the door. "Later," he said, smiling.

The door closed behind them and they stood in a large arena. There were two large statues standing next to each other, a demon and an angel. The two held swords that came across each other as they stuck to the ground.

Justin looked at Alpha. "I just realized," he said. "Who's going to be training us?"

Angel's voice sounded in the room. "That would be me," he said, appearing in front of them in a flash of light.

Justin jumped back. "Woah!" he shouted. "How are you doing that? I thought you couldn't maintain a physical body in this world."

Angel shrugged. "I guess the magic here allows me to train my host by giving me the ability to physically exist," he said. "Anyways, think that you can handle my training?"
