The Awakenkng
It's Time.
"Eric. Answer, or else you're getting a talk with me after class." Snapped his history teacher, Mr. Bernard.
"Wha..? Sorry, Sir. What was the question?" Asked Eric, his eyes drooping from his lack of sleep.
Mr. Bernard sighed, before looking towards Eric with a grim look on his face. "The question, Mr. Deschard, is 'What are some of the skills of Hephaestus?'"
"Oh... Erm, I believe he's the God of the Forge, and Flames, and is an excellent smith." Answered Eric.
"Good, but I still want to see you after class." Mr. Bernard answered, the tone of his voice itself saying 'You're in trouble.' Eventually, the minutes passed, and class eventually ended. He waited for the majority of the class to leave, the only people in the room being Eric, Mr. Bernard, Erics friend, Peter Greene, and a cute, shy girl, named Destiny Coleman. Peter was awkward; he walked with a limp, smelt similar to a park, and spent most of his free time with Eric. Destiny was rather attractive, at least in Erics eyes. She had long, auburn hair, and usually just dressed casually, with a nice pair of jeans, some boots, and a white shirt. But Eric found himself attracted to her no matter how simple she looked.
Eric approached the desk of Mr. Bernard, and stared at Mr. Bernard in his eyes, Erics face probably pale from nervousness, but he maintained a stare.
He spoke two words. Two words that changed everything;
"It's time."
