My body still aches. This training is beginning to feel more like chores if anything. My body is sore. How long have I been doing this? A month huh. Well when you're on a set schedule, you lose track of time. My body's shifted to the pain. I wonder if this actually worked. 

(I read The Lost Legend and it says Endurance is how much pain you could take but this story means to endure longer? Makes sense?)

I had to refine my skills. Taking out my sword I went to the dummies. I swung but not even a strong swing, cut through the whole dummy. Bored with the dummies already, I didn't bother to swing again. (did I give him forge powers?). I walked back to my tent and started building. Building what? I have no idea. But my mind was just doing it's own thing.

*several hours later*

What did I even do these past hours? Then I look at my tent and see that a fully working forge is in here. Dam. Looking around the forge I wondered if I could craft enchanted items. Several pieces of Celestial Bronze were near the forge, and I started hammering away to make automatons. Dipping the celestial bronze in the fire, I started molding and shaping the metal with my bare hands. Soon enough, I had automatons. I had equipped them with swords, and a skill level of Ares.

Then rustling came from the trees. I looked over and saw nothing there, but that didn't stop me from investigating more. Peeking through the trees, I saw an armada of monsters. I quickly ran to the camp and told the hunters that they were preparing to attack us. Almost immediately, the hunters got into battle formation.

I knocked an arrow, lit it on fire hoping that it would fly straight and true. And so it did. I happily praised the two archer twins while dancing. The fire spread throughout the monsters camp. Panicked they ran to attack us to find us waiting with a volley of arrows. Most monsters didn't stand a chance. Then a roar came and we saw the Nemean Lion. I stepped forward as I was challenging him.

He didn't attack. So I did. I punched him straight in the snout. My hand hurt like hell though. This would be a good time to experiment my powers. I tried to control the air inside the Lion's mouth to open giving me a chance to strike.

And that I did. I stomped bringing forth a rock shaped like a spike, and threw it at the Lions mouth.

It quickly disintegrated, leaving just the Lion pelt. I took the pelt and took it. It might be useful in the future.

Walking towards the "training arena" I brought the Automatons. I put them down and activated them. Exactly as I activated them, they aimed to kill me. I took out my sword and stood in a defending stance. The wind howling against my body. I lunged forward.

The bot immediately saw that this was coming and dodged it. He poked in a roman-like technique. I turned around and jabbed at him. I slashed, stabbed, duck and rolled. Eventually, I learned all the bots tricks. I twisted making it think I was going to fake, when indeed I was aiming for the hilt of his sword. I pressed the flat of my blade onto the sword knocking it out of its hands. Then I turned the Automaton off. It was a good battle, but I could've won quicker if I was faster.

No matter, time to train my powers. Artemis would be busy enough training me with speed, so I decided to not burden her. Until SHE came along.
