“Mom you need to tell us what’s happening. Today we fought a manticore. That’s only in Greek mythology. We both discovered we have powers, I summoned skeletons from the ground for God's sake. Mike’s eyes turned colors and he summoned a sword. Does this have anything to do with our dads?” I explained. My mom stared at us and spoke wearily, “Alright boys come sit down I’ll tell you both the truth.” We all went on the couch and listened to my mom. “The truth is you boys are demigods. Not only that one of the most powerful ones too.” She paused waiting to let that information sink in. She continued, “Jackson, the reason you could summon skeletons is because of your father. He has a similar power like, Jackson your father is Hades God of the Underworld.” My head snapped quickly towards my mom. “I’m the son of Hades?” I asked in disbelief. “Yes you are Jackson, Mike I know who your father is because your mother told me. But your father is Ares God of War.” Mike and I stared at each other in disbelief, but all the pieces fit. Me summoning the dead and skeletons and the purple flames, Mike’s eyes changing colors and summoning a sword. All of the sudden there was balck and red smoke covering the room.

“Guy’s what’s going on!” I screamed. The smoke disappeared and two guys appeared in the room. One that looked like me had black cloths, grey eyes, black messy hair and a little tan. The other guy had blond hair, red eyes, orange clothes and clear skin. They on with black clothes said, “Hello Jackson, my name is Hades. It’s finally great to see you my boy.” Hades said with a small smile. The other guy went up to Mike and picked him up, “Hey Mike, my name is Ares you probably already knew that though.” Mike and I looked at each other, and knew this was going to be an adventure of a lifetime.
