Alan’s POV

I was sitting on a couch in the waiting room, I was waiting for my father. It was now when I hated the fact of no goodbyes the most. The only reason I got to see Apollo was because he was my mentor. For each Demigod Games your god parent trained you for the Games. The training lasted a month, and then The Demigod Games begun.

“Alan!” Apollo opened the door and ran inside. “I will do my best to train you, but it’s your own skills that will help you make it home.” “I know, when are we going to begin?” “Right now.” I followed Apollo into a large room, I looked around and was shocked to see how everything matched Apollo. The walls were yellow and painted with bright orange suns, there were lyres, bow and arrows, medicine, poems, and in the corner was a large animal stable. I knew that it was probably full of Apollo’s animals, roe deer, swans, cicadas, hawks, ravens, crows, foxes, mice, and snakes.

“Now shall we begin?” Apollo’s question interrupted my thoughts. I was about to say I was ready, but then my stomach made a loud growl. “Hungry?” “Yeah.” “Come on, let’s go to the dining room.” The dining room was just as impressive as the training, but with  food. I piled my tray with steak, grapes, and of course, dessert. Apollo went over the training plan as I stuffed my mouth with food. “We’re going to practice all of your hidden talents Alan, and we’ll divide them into classes, like school. I’ll give you your schedule at the end of the day.” “School?” I complained. “Don’t worry Al, it’ll be better than school, got to have a little fun before you die.” That’s the one problem with my family, Apollo is also the god of truth.

I was looking down at my schedule of training. I was a little disappointed when all we did today was play the lyre. I had no idea how that was going to help me win the games, but I have to admit, it was fun. I looked back at my schedule, what? I have to get up at 9:00? Oh well, I’ll die soon anyways.

                Darn, bed at 11:00, oh well I better listen to Apollo, he is a god after all. I checked my watch, 10:59, I guess I better go to sleep. I walk into my room and head over to my bed. It’s nothing special, just a plain beige room, but the bed is comfy. I closed my eyes and instantly fell asleep.
