Book one: chapter 3; A very horse-y ride

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ pages 1 2 2.2 3 info

》 mom? Where are we even going? 《

》 i thought that was obvious laertes. We're going to Ithaca, Greece. 《

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

Now listen, im not going to describe the entire flight. That's just absurd. But I will give you some highlights;

● a cute girl kept on twirling her braids and glancing at me from the seat diagonal from me. My mom spotted that and pointed it out to me, grinning like a madman (er... madwoman?) As she looked at the girls father, she seemed like she knew him. I heard her mutter something under her breath " ɪˈkɛəriəs " but I was too distracted to pay attention to the name.

● as we passed over the ocean i felt so sick to my stomach. Normally I don't get seasick, im used to travelling but....this just felt weird.

》this is a normal reaction to passing over posidons watery domain.... don't worry about it too much, he loves holding grudges《

Odysseus tried his best to reassure me, but it did nothing to soothe me

After a long while (and nap) we arrived in Greece.

My mom had apparently made many calls while I was packing my bags, because there was a limo driver holding up our last name.

My jaw fell open.

Not for the fact that my mom had apparently enough money to be able to afford it, I knew that she made a fair bit teaching them, but for the fact that our driver was dressed in full Greek battle armour wity a sword in his hand.

Oh and the fact that his bottom half was that of a horse!

》chiron...oh my gods, that's chiron, isn't it?��� I was so shocked as I muttered that that I was frozen in place.

》yes, that's him.....《 she smiled softly and walked up to him, leaving no choice for me to follow.

Intrestingly enough, the girl and her I saw on the plane was headed in the same direction as me

Now that I got a closer look at her, (which was probrably a bad idea due to the fact I looked looked like a ripe tomato) I noticed some faint freckles on her deep auburn skin, and absolutely captivating seablue-like eyes hidden behind green glases that i could just get lost in-

No!! Not thinking about this now.... I scolded myself and forced myself to look at chiron.

Said centaur then looked at the girl beside be, eyeing her back-pack and rather big suitcase.

》Asteria.... it's a pleasure to have you back, im sure sir. A will be glad to see you again. This is your fifth year now, yes? 《

The girl, whom I now identified as Asteria nodded curtly, smiling up at him.

His eyes then wandered to mine, looking at the dog-cage hebe was still in, his eyes widening as he noticed how little baggage i actually had.

》 Ah, you must be laertes, yes? Hm....your mother told me much about you, though I didn't expect to see you so soon.....you're so young...《

Now it was my turn for my eyes to widen and wander.

Asteria looked about just as old as me, but chiron had said she'd been there for five years, so she must have been around eight when-

Asteria looked at me, as if sensing my silent question.

》Ah.....yes, according to everyone opinion, the age i came in here was .....rather special. It's nice to meet you , erm, laertes, was it? 《 she tucked her braids behind her ear and i noticed that her ears were a bit pointy, like a faerie! I thought it was adorable.

》 y-yes, it's a pleasure to meet you too, asteria.....《

My mom and her dad stared at eachother, sharing a knowing look as they said their thanks to chiron.

I looked so confused as my mom pressed a kiss to my forehead

》 chiron and the others at the training place will explain everything to you. I'll see you soon Faolan, stay as safe as you can....《

Chiron smiled faintly and nodded to our parents and guiding us to the limo

》 um......no offence.....how are you...capable of driving?《

Asteria giggled as if I just cracked the best joke in the world, and I felt oddly proud of that.

Chiron chuckled as well, showing me how he sat down at the driver's seat:

His front hooves were infront of the gas and breaks, always quick to stop or move the car, and his back hooves were hidden in a hole in the spot where the seat would be, though the backrest was still intact. His seat was inclined to a strong degree , leaving me no other choice to sit in the middle seat.

Right beside asteria.

He started driving, and i started trying to strike up a conversation with asteria

》 so um....hi again....-《 I chuckled awkwardly 》 mind if I start talking to you?《

》hmn? Oh yeah, of course!《 she paused the musical playing on her headphones, looking straight at me.

》 e-erm......so uh.....where are you from?《 I blushed nervously

》oh, im from Australia on my father's side, and Spain from my mother's. I was never taught Spanish or anything like that though. You?《

》 Australia? Oh, the beaches there are absolutely stunning! Er, yes, i was raised in Britain for my whole life, though my mom is Greek and my dad was Filipino and Irish. 《

Her demeanour changed when she noticed how i spoke about my father in past tense, though she didn't say anything.

I was honestly so thankful for that, I hated receiving those pity messages from others.

I noticed chiron stare at us from the front mirror, his grey eyes bouncing from me to asteria.

I quickly changed the topic

》 so....asteria....do you have any nicknames?《

She was looking out of the window, at the beaches and forests passing by, smiling as she realised we were probably close.

》 hm......my friends usually call be "starry" or "aria" ......though I suppose you could come up with something else if you wanted《

I closed my eyes in thought, a normal habit i picked up from my mom before turning my eyes back to her 》 hm....what if I called you...... Kalos*?《 I smile lopsidely

She looked up at me in shock, her cheeks a very deep shade of maroon.

》 I'm just kidding, I think I'll call you ...... ari. Not very original, I know, but why not《

She smiled and nodded approvingly as the limo came to a stop.

》welcome《 chiron started

》to the training ground of legends!《

Hello, and welcome to the heros legacy project!

hello everyone! You can call me ari, and I am the creator, writer and editor of the heros legacy project!

Now, you may be asking:

What is the heros legacy project?

Glad you asked! The heros legacy project is my aim to make/ write a book, entirely and only on tumblr (for now, at least!) While I know that writing a book on here isn't original by any means, I think it's interesting to grow my writing-skills with an audience! Each post is one chapter and this is (hopefully) going to become a multi book series!

summary

What is the plot of the Heros legacy book?

Well, it's a book inspired by greek mythology, percy jackson , Kane Chronicles and EPIC the musical!

[But it is no way in relation with these fandoms, it is merely inspired by the mythology]

So the plot of the story is that Greek gods do exist, and ancient heros souls still wander in Elysium. but they don't always stay in Elysium. They periodically find a legacy of their family line, and start mentally communicating with them, giving them advice and sending them to the training ground of their old mentors.

But where is that?

Why in Ithaca of course!

LAERTES POV:

My mom's words were still ringing freshly in my head as she started rambling in greek that we just had to leave, and had to leave fast.

I only barely had time to pack the essentials and stuff for hebe before my mother came stumbling through the doorway, holding up her phone for-

》PHONE TICKETS TO GREECE??, MOM, HOW DID YOU EVEN?-《

She sighed and looked at me pointedly

》I have connections that helped with getting these.....if only I knew this would happen now, i thought they would happen when you were older!-《

》mom??? What did you think was going to happen? What happening???《

I admit, I was panicked. Honestly, my mom was always the most kind person I could think of, always on my side, no matter what! And now she was acting as if her body was on autopilot and on five cups of caffeine at once.

This was very unlike her.

I heard her say something like

》 ω, Θεέ μου* 《 under her breath as she helped me stuff all my clothes in the luggage before running off to hers to do the same

I decided to remove the chiton that had somehow appeared on my body earlier. I still had no idea how it even got there in the first place! As I was struggling to get it off, I heard the new voice in my head scoffing and saying

》 and I put such effort into getting you to wear that....such a shame....you honestly look so much like tel-《

》Laertes, it's time to go now!! Hurry and bring hebe down with you!!《

I involuntary flinched at my name I mean, I suppose it was kinda stupid, what kid hates their own name?! Well...there are more than me, I know, but I always hated when people teased me for my "grandpa name" so I normally went by either Lee, or, if the person knew me well enough, Faolan.

Nonetheless I ran down carrying pheobe in her cabe plus my own luggage, fairly impressive, I suppose due to the amount of books, clothes and other stuff in there.

My mom had already called a London cab and put her luggages in, quickly putting mine with them as well

To say the ride there was merely "awkward" and "tense" would be a complete understatement

She was silent and Fidgety , very tense, I noticed.

》mom-《 I finaly started 》what in the name of God is going on?-《

She laughed. Not in a humorous way, but more in a way of disbelief, shock, even.

》oh faolan, the things you need to know...the things you need to learn....I thought we had more time....《

She took a deep breath, as if considering if she should tell me what was going on or not.

She decided the latter

》I'll tell you when we're at the airport....or atleast out of the cab....alright?《

the next few hours were an absolute blur, getting past the security until we finaly sat down waiting for our plane.

》laertes......it's time for me to explain this....the whole story...《

LAERTES POV:

Have you ever read the Odyssey? Odd question, I know, but my mom always made me read these kinds of books since I was six, telling me that learning about these ancient classics would be vital for my future. Of course, I never questioned my mom back then, she was a famous historian and archaeologist, why shouldn't i trust her?

She never told me why they were vital, though. I assumed that it was for school and stuff like that, maybe she wanted me to be just like her! Holding presentations at the British museum about ancient Greece, just like her. I didn't know about....well.....everything that was going to happen to me, has happened to my mom!

Im getting off track, aren't I? Well, I should probrably rewind, to when all of this started.

On June twelfth, 10:30 am, my 13 birthday.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

》 laertes, wake up Faolan , its your special day......《

Wha?- oh...right.... my birthday!

My eyes shot open and I grinned childishly.

》COMING NANAE!!《

Faolan....it took a while for me to register that nickname. It meant little wolf in Irish, did it not? You see, my late father, Martin, Was half Filipino and half Irish and my mother , Marissa, was half British and half Greek.

So even at a young age, I was exposed to many languages. Even though my father died when I was two, my mother insisted I learn his languages , with hers.

Anyway, I hastily put on some clothes, quite messily though I normally never cared.

Normally

But I heard a voice in my head saying >No, that won't do. Dress more elegantly<

Oddly, the voice didn't sound like my own, but I didn't think about it and ignored it as I ran down.

I heard the faint sound of singing from downstairs, and the eager barking of my pet husky, hebe.

Happy birthday balloons and posters hung all over the walls, and i immediately felt like royalty, suddenly awake and alert, my senses sharpening.

I strut into the kitchen and grin as I see my mom holding a birthday cake, a birthday hat on her head. But she suddenly stared at me in shock.

》laertes......what....why....are you wearing that?《

I looked stunned and gazed at the mirror, finding myself looking at....me....but in a type of chiton that Greek royals used to wear.

My mom suddenly realised something, and dropped the birthday cake in shock.

》Faolan, we need to go. NOW《

》mom?!《

A heros legacy; a summary

Are you a fan of percy jackson? Or the kane chronicles? EPIC the musical maybe? A lover of Greek myths?

Have you ever just....wanted to read a book that combines all of those things?

Well, I have.

And I'm writing it!

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○☆○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

A heros legacy follows the protagonist, laertes, finding out that his family line traces allll the way back to ancient Greece.

He's a legacy of the famed hero Odysseus.

And that famed hero, is now talking to him.

In his mind, at least.

And now his mom is telling him that he has to leave everything he knew, yo head back to Ithaca. Ithaca, Greece. Where his ancestors once lived. Where gods once romed.

But he's not the only legacy of a hero.

There are more like him.

And there are not just legacies of heroes, there can't be one without the other.

His ancestors enemies are still out there, and he has to make aliances with them.

and he's just thirteen

______________

I stared at her, dumbfounded. Already? I know my mom fulfilled her promises quickly, as efficiently as possible but..... now??

She sighed, noticing my confusion

》 so. You know I'm part Greek, part hellene, right?《

I nodded, not knowing what to say

》 well.....as a kid, my grandmother always told me; "calliope, behave yourself, act like a princess!" Or "Calliope, you are a legacy of ancient kings and queens, start acting like it!" And I thought that my grandma was just exaggerating. But when I asked my mom later that day-《

She sighed and looked up, as if she was still a kid looking up at her mom

》 -she told me that our ancestors could be traced all the way back to the ancient prince telemachus. And thus......well.....《

》 and thus a legacy of lord Odysseus and penelope... 《

I finished for her, and she nodded grimly

》 but...there's no way! I mean.... 《

》 laertes, there was a way, obviously! When I turned sixteen, my mom sent be away, away to Ithaca-《

》but the old Ithaca ist real, is it?!《 I quickly interrupted her

She was quickly loosing her temper.

》 faolan. It is!the palace of Odysseus is real, we now only have its ruins but it is real! It is literal ancient soil and ston sitting on Ithaca Greece! 《

》 but if...if Odysseus was really.....what about the other heroes? 《

My mom sighed. She looked so tired at this moment.

》 there are legacies of other heros too.....Achilles, menelaus, herakles- they all were real....and they all have legacies. And all of this means...well...I'll let you say. 《

》 that means the gods exist, don't they? Ares, apollo, zeus? They're all real?《

She nodded and took my hand as the crew members asked for the last passengers to board the plane

》 yes, they do. And since you're a legacy, you have to train. They'll explain it to you when we're there. I had to go this too, but i was much older- gods, why now? I though I had more time! 《

She sounded so distressed as we boarded the plane. As we sat in out seats, I turned to her and asked.

》 mom? Where are we even going? 《

》 i thought that was obvious laertes. We're going to Ithaca, Greece. 《

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

[Info and the link to all the pages]

My jaw dropped when I saw what was infront of me.

The training grounds were located in a wide open field surrounded by a forest of olive trees and a few cliffs overlooking the sea side.

In the field there were a bunch of , ah, how do I describe it? You know those industrial crates that people sometimes reovate to apartments?

There were a bunch of those crates all around the field, all decorated differently.

Some of the crates had multiple floors as well, and I wondered if they were all fully furnished.

In the middle of everything was a big, marble, circular slab with a bunch of tables and seats, which I assumed was the dining place.

The field and everything surrounding it was buzzing with life, and a buch of kids that looked a bit older than me roaming about.

though interestingly I noticed that no one looked younger than me and ari, but then again....my mom had said something about her thinking we had more time.....and arimache saying her age she came in was special.

》 now asteria, mind giving laertes a tour of the place? I have some.....matters to deal with. 《

She nodded and looked at me, tilting her head and smiling

》 well, you heard what chiron said, c'mon laertes!《

》erm, you can call me lee if you want....《

She nodded and started walking in the direction of the crates, expecting me to obediently follow her, which I did

》these are the houses that all the legacies live in, they're sorted by age group-《

she turned around to me and continued.

》 starting from the eldest we have 20 to 18, 17 to 16, 15 to 14 and lastly thirteen and younger《

She pointed to all cabins as she talked, the agegroups listed on the doors. The smallest cabin seemed to be the thirteen and younger, which made sensed since our ages was "special".

She showed me the basic layout of the apartment. A bedroom with two bunkers and a TV, a kitchen with a minifridge, microwave and coffee machine, a bathroom with both a cubicleshower and bathtub connected to the toilet and a living room with a few couches and a TV.

Honestly it was all kinda of trivial, and she sounded somewhat monotone, until we got onto everything that helped the environment.

I asked her about the solarpanels on the roof, and she grinned excitedly, talking about the logistics behind it, until we got interrupted by a voice.

》 oh gods, starry!!! You're finaly back!!!《 a voice spoke and a tall girl vith silky black hair and brown eyes jumped out of the shadows, hugging asteria.

》 oh pheobe!! Yeah it's nice to see you too!! Hows your mom doing? I heard shes sick?《

》 ay, you know my mama, she always bounces back, doesn't she?-《

Both of them were downright beaming, and I assumed asteria and pheobe were best of friends. I looked off to the side and noticed a tall and athletic girl with short and choppy blonde hair.

》 you're the newbie, right? M' names Aileen, legacy of Achilles. Pheebs over there is a legacy of patroclus-《 she grinned and looked at her adoringly 》You?《

I nodded 》 yeah I am, im laertes and I'm a legacy of Odysseus....《

At that, asteria went quiet, and fire a moment i wondered why, but then I heard a gong.

》 ohh, finaly lunchtime! Starry, have you heard they made the menus more inclusive?-《

She and asteria talked as they ran off to the dining spot in the middle of the field, Aileen sighing half exasperated and half amused.

》that's pheobes and arias friendship for ya, bud. Attached at the hip......I honestly wished I was that close to pheebs....《

she sighed and turned towards me. Well, it's lunch now, im sure you want to eat after this long day, yeah?

Oh, and I've heard from chiron; happy birthday bud.
