Chapter 1= Olympia Academy Tour and Welcomes.
“Oh hello. Who in this freak world are you?” said Hanna sarcastically about the whole freak world thing.
“Honestly Hanna stop being sarcastic all the time! Hello. What’s your name, and what are you exactly. You look familiar like I’ve seen you at the families carnival. We got attacked there.” said Savanna. She had lots of questions, and she was more normal than her twin, who liked to be sarcastic.
“I am Gregory Over-hedge. I’m a satyr-” said the thing welcoming them.
Savanna gasped. She had just realized something interesting. She had always known greek mythology, even the greek alphabet. She meant to say ‘oh my gods,’ but said it in greek, “Ω θεοί μου!”
“Oh, so you know some greek. Let me here what you know, see if you really belong here.” said Gregory.
“Η αδερφή μου δεν γνωρίζει την ελληνική γλώσσα, πρέπει να είναι ένα δώρο που πήρα. Ξέρω πάντα ελληνικά.” said Savanna. She was telling him that her sister didn’t know greek and that she was the only one, besides her father who knew greek.
“Okay then I should show you the tour of this academy and find some uniforms for you girls. You have to wear them to all your classes, but don’t worry they’re armor protected. At least the skirt is.” said Gregory as he chuckled softly ignoring Hanna’s sarcastic look on her face. Then he said, “Come on in.”
Savanna and Hanna followed Gregory Over-hedge into a field with lots of buildings, one hat Big Three Dorms painted onto it, another had Hermes, Artemis, and Unclaimed Dorms painted on it, the next one had Goddess Dorms painted on it, and the last one had God Dorms painted on it. Then to the west their was a dirt trail leading to a huge stadium with sounds that went, ‘cling, clang’ from it. The twins also saw other buildings one named ‘Weapons,’ another named ‘Uniforms,’ and one of the last they saw was called ‘Academy Directory.’
The Academy Directory was huge. It had wide marble poles like on the Parthenon, big iron doors, and pretty much everything else was made of marble. Savanna stared it amazement. She loved the building. Then she spotted a slightly glowing building. It was called ‘Minor Gods’ Dorm.‘ She wanted to run inside it and see what it looked like, but she didn’t. For some reason she was afraid to move any closer.
“It’s... It’s glowing. Do you see it Hanna? Isn’t it magnificent?” said Savanna excitedly.
“Of course I see it. It’s the dormitories for special people dummy.” said Hanna. She was trying to be funny again.
“Actually we need to talk. You girls are decedents of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. You are powerful in many ways. I think you are more powerful than any of the others here. I could feel your aurora coming closer to the academy.” said Gregory excitedly.
“No way! This is fantastic!” said Savanna over cheerful, if that was possible.
Hanna was confused. She said, “So you mean to say that one of our ancestors is a greek god or possibly a goddess. Well it can’t be our father or our mother. They’ve always been there for us.”
“You might be mistaken. Think about it. Our father’s name is Elus. Does that sound like the ending of any God or minor God that we know? I got it! I know which one, and it’s a minor god.” said Savanna. She stopped talking there seeing if someone would figure it out and Gregory’s face lit up as well.
“Aeolus. Your father is Aeolus. It all makes sense now.” said Gregory still deep in thought, “It could be your grandfather though. We need a DNA sample if you have all your mother’s DNA and none of your father’s DNA then your father is Aeolus.”
“But our mother is dead. Dad said so himself when he was driving us here. She was sick and she died right after having our little brother Daniel, who’s in an orphanage right now. We don’t know what he looks like though.” said Hanna wondering some things. “Are we even sure Aeolus is our decedent?”
“I have a way of finding out, but we should do the tour. The glowing building you see is the Minor God Dormitory, where children of the Minor Gods sleep. Then we’re standing in front of the Academy Directory, if you have a problem or are in trouble, come here. Then to the left there’s the Uniform Shop, and then the Weapon Store. Behind us is the Big Three and Hera Dormitory, then the God Dormitory, where all the other Gods’ children sleep, the Goddess Dormitory, I think you know what that is, and the Hermes, Artemis, and Unclaimed Dormitory.” said Gregory. “Call me Mr.O-H. Let’s go down the dirt trail for training and classes.”
“I just love that stadium over there!” said Hanna.
“Ah, the Swords Arena and Archery Range. There’s a building that is one room right by it for practicing magic. Then the rest of the school is over that way in that building.” said Mr.O-H.
“This place is really cool. It’s so awesome. So where do we go first?” asked Savanna.
“First up is uniforms. Come-on” said Mr.O-H.
They all went back to the Uniform Shop slowly, taking every single detail in. Hanna and Savanna loved the place, so far. When the reached the Uniform Shop, they went in to get their uniforms. They had black skirts with thin, but strong iron plates in between the two pieces of fabric. Then they had a simple red t-shirt with the Olympus symbol on it. The last few things were black boots made of armor, red socks, and a black jacket just like the skirt. They went in the dressing room and put them on. They were prfectly fitted and comfortable in every way.
“Mr.O-H, they fit perfectly. They’re perfect.” exclaimed Hanna when she and Savanna ran out of the dressing room with their normal clothes in their hands.
“Then grab four more pairs of the same size. So we can go get your wand and another weapon.” said Mr.O-H as he gave some gold drachmas to the sales clerk. “Let’s go.”
Mr.O-H led them next door to the Weapon Store. He opened a big door and a wind chime rang. Savanna went straight to the wands and Hanna went straight to the weapons. They stared at them is awe. Then they switched and stared at those in awe. Savanna grabbed a dagger. Engraved on the blade was the word, “Wind-shed.” The blade glowed when she held it up in the air. Hanna came over and watched the light die out. She grabbed the identical one. Engraved on it was the word, “Wind-blood.” The same thing happened when Hanna held hers in the air. They looked at each other, smiled, and moved towards the wands.
The sales representative came up to them and measured their weapon arm. He measured Savanna’s left arm first. He wrote something on his writing pad and then moved on to Hanna’s right arm. He wrote something else on his writing pad. Then he went back behind the counter and took two wants out of the show case. He gave one to Savanna and one to Hanna at the same exact time. They glowed in unison, wind went through the store, but it was only a light breeze.
“Wow, this place is so cool. I can’t wait to start to start training.” said Savanna and Hanna in unison.
“Well, everything is complete. Go to the Unclaimed Dormitory and I guess I’ll see you later.” said Mr.O-H. he walked out just like any satyr would.
