Weeks passed by and Kona became used to Cleo's presence and he realised that she wasn't that scare to be around and that although she might seem to have a composure she is but shy within. It's said never judge things by their looks for not everything is what it seems just like those were one of the wise sayings of Emmah Kona's grandmother.

A day before the elemental ceremony everyone was excited to know who would choose who as his son or daughter,the island fell into a frenzy of busy bodies like an ant hill people prepared to where their best their was no lesson that day as the preparation were made for the D-Day that came only ones a year like Christmas ,but things were different for Kona he did feel that chill or adrenaline he had a deep sombre mood like a depthless hole in him that he couldn't explain it's origin .

During the preparations for the D-Day most people were busy some preparing the grounds that the ceremony was to be held on the rest had a day off to do personal preparations,Kona just did laundry and went to a spot he had found interest in ever since he arrived and sat gazing at the verse blue ocean that stretched to versed unseen distances .

As he sat ,he felt a nudge on his shoulder he would have screamed and then pounced on the person but he held back his emotions something he had developed ever since he felt the absence of a father figure in his life ,he saw himself as the man of the house and thus was required not to show any weakness ,he calmly turned and saw Cleoptile standing behind him her sapphire eyes gazing down at him giving him a chilling sensation.

"Hey , it's you ,"he finally says after mastering alot of courage ,he had never felt such great fear and shyness for a lady as he did at that moment ."Why are you here alone , anxious of tomorrow?"She asks sitting next to him ,her lavender perfume assailing his nostrils making him afraid to breath ."Not really am just gazing at the sea curious of what it holds ,"He says his nerves finally calming down ,"Oww ,who do you think or hope to be your father ?Me am betting on Hera ,"she says ,"Me ,any would do ,"he says with alittle rage in his tone ,"as for you am betting on Aphrodite.""Why ?"she asks curiously,"Well ,...your beauty is unmatched and only she could come close to it ,"He says before looking away shyness and guilt filled his faced ,she smiles lightly then stands and says before running off ,"then it's a bet if I get Aphrodite tomorrow I'll give you anything you a kiss then ." Kona turned just in time to spot the most beautiful smile he had ever seen before she dashed of them a sinister smile formed on his face .

He suddenly begun feeling anxious and excited came crushing within him all of a sudden he couldn't wait for tomorrow to reach .

The day came the ones in a year that the gods come down from Olympus and even Hades comes up from the underworld to see their children .This is the ones in a year chance a child gets to please his father or mother and ends up getting a gift for it .

The island was a hive by 6am in the morning with preparations ,the grounds were set and the golden seats for the gods were set .Everyone dressed to impress,even Willow was looking more of a handsome gentleman than ever ,the ladies were at their most standing. The ceremony was to start by 10am .The gods begun arriving by half past nine ,first to arrive was Zeus and his wife Hera ,then Paseidon , Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter,Hermes, Ares,Hestia,Artemis , Dionysus, Apollo and lastly was Hades .

The ceremony begun with music from the daughters of Aphrodite and the Son's of Apollo then alittle show of brute strength by trial of combat from the Son's of Zeus and Ares .finally after a warm luncheon,the reason for the ceremony the thing that had kept most of the freshmen off their seats acknowledgment by their parents.

All freshmen stood to one side of the grounds facing the gods who sat on their golden thrones in order of their herachy. First a sacrifice was made to each god and goddess.The process was time consuming every child was to pass Infront of every gods weapon if the god is your parent the weapon will raise in acknowledgement of your presence ,this is because the weapons of the gods were more like living thus they responded to power ,the children are divided in gender since it was known to all that daughters were from goddesses while son's for gods .

They took turns soon it was Kona's turn he he came forth to the gods presences where the weapons laid as he stood before as he came close all the. Weapons rose then before he could come any closer Apollo's bow vanishes .This caused astonishment among many who were unable to speak for a while ,even the gods were shocked beyond words ,they left the grounds for a brief but the ceremony continued as they discussed Kona's fate ,Athena the goddess of wisdom was also lost of words but not to o bring her name to shame as the other gods seemed to eye on her for answers she came up with the possible answer that was more logical ,"As is the boy is the son of Apollo's because of the great power he yields the other weapons must have risen due to his power ."she says trying to hold out her composure so that the rest do not spot her anxiety.

After the brief Kona was acknowledged by Apollo ,but murmurs were still around hovering like lost spirits since this was the first time such had happened since the establishment of the island in honor of Hercules the son of Zeus.Among the gods everyone knew that ,the young lad was up for it ,since even Hades in the underworld knew Hera's jealous and Zeus Pride were now building up and soon they would come crumbling on Kona with heavenly might.

For a week he was the talk of the island something he did ,like but that evening something happened that he will never forget he had his first kiss although it wasn't on the lips but it was from someone other than his mother or his grandmother,as it came Cleo ended up with Aphrodite, he couldn't sleep that day the feeling of having her tender lips on his bonny chick made him shiver with excitement he avoid washing the area for days until Alex accidentally splashed mad on him and he was forced to wash his entire face .
