CHAPTER 2

Three days later Kona had already adopted to the island something to that his new found friend Alex who had been friends with him because no one wanted to be his friend just like Kona .Kona had been tag weirdo due to the tantrums he had thrown on his fast day and Alex was not considered since he was the only son of Dionysus the god of wine so everyone saw him as the son of the drunkered.

The lessons were not so boring since Kona was a fun of history back in his old school and all that was taught was Greek history and combat ."When does a god acknowledge his son's existence?"on the fourth day Kona asked Alex during the four pm break ."During the elemental ceremony,that happens every year ,"Alex replied.

Every child stays on his god's side of the island,the island has been divided according to the twelve major gods but the top seven get the largest chunk of the island with the finest resources like small counties or villages but the unnamed children like Kona stay in Dionysus' area since he rarely has children because his usually drunk most of the time and that's why Alex is alone at the center is the HQ where the instructors and the administration is .

Just like any institution the proud skunks never miss and in the island they were the Zeuse and Hera children who saw themselves the kings and queens of the island something that made Kona fill disgusted,the Zeus son's where the ones who gave the strongest warriors.

Kona realised why it was known as the phantom island that's because it moved ,it didn't stay in one place for long and couldn't be seen by mortal eyes .The island was guarded by a golden dragon and a dome that did not allow anyone who was not a demigod or with authorization from the gods enter the island.

On the sixth day there a new child of the gods was brought in she was a young lady who caught Kona's eye when she arrived ,she was one of the most beautiful girls Kona had ever seen and was also the calmest since she didn't seem scared infact she looked at the island as if it was a familiar place somewhere she had been before .

That evening Kona was the first to introduce himself to her when they went to the village of Dionysus,"Hey am Kona and his Alex a friend of mine welcome to the village of Dionysus,"he said feeling butterflies overflowing his digestive trunk."Thank you ,am Claire nice to meet you ."she said with a really calm and self acknowledged voice that made Kona's feet wabble with fear a feeling that was new to him .

Claire's calm and humble nature made her attractive she did not speak to any one rudely and defended Kona when the others called him wierdo something that made Kona feel a spark when she was near him .Her piercing scarlet gaze and her unwavered staunted frame made even the most courageous of men dumbfounded. Her curve that was too prominent for her age made every boy look like he had run a mock and every lady jealous even for the daughters of Aphrodite.

It's was on a cloudy Wednesday Kona and Alex were seated onthe secondary landing post as Claire who had been fond of them was explaining the previous lesson which .ost of them had not comprehended as he was explaining Kona felt a tingle in his heart and without his consent his head turned as if being controlled and there and then he saw her ,a lady who was alighting from a chariot in the primary land post and as if they were twins they found each other eye to eye and time seemed to freez as the two strangers looked into each others eyes and Kona felt a familiarity to her aura .

The stare contest was interfered by Claire who snapped at him for not listening and then continued .

That evening she came into the Dionysus village every one kept staring at her as her presence filled the area with pressure,her beauty was a wonder of the age although Kona had never seen Aphrodite but he knew she was jealous as she was nothing compared to this young lady although she was the goddess of beauty .

This time his legs couldn't let him even move close to her and for a day or two he was a distant stalker ."Hey I've noticed you've been watching me from afar what's your name am Cleoptile ,"she found him unprepared on her fifth day there .Kona was so dumbfounded like a kid for a minute he couldn't speak the with great strain and mastering of great strength he managed to speak,"sorry for that am Kona and about that I thought I knew you from my previous school but I see I was wrong deepest apologies madam."With that he left never to stalk her again but that small conversation created a spark in Cleoptile's heart she had never felt before and made her curious to want to know who he was and why him .

Days passed and Kona tried to avoid come close to her due to the shame and guilt that nagged him ,but as if the gates we're conspiring against him he found himself in the same group with her they were to be in groups of five so there's consisted of him ,Alex ,Claire and Cleoptile till the day the end training then they would be placed into their eternal squadrons where they would be till they die .

"Hi am Claire ,"Claire was the first to introduce herself in the group,"his Alex and he Kona .""Am Cleoptile but you can all call me Cleo ,"Cleoptile introduce herself ,"And am John ,"the other boy also introduced himself since it was a group of five .

"Okay guys those groups your in will be your groups till you graduate and points will be given according to those groups not individual so learn to cooperate with your team ,any questions...,okay since there are none you may go to the next class ,"the overall patron Ms Ann said then everyone dispersed .Ann was a nymph of flames .
