It was the day of the quest Zack was going on with Morgan and Hammer. He had already been out to check up on Hammer and see if he remembered everything and whatnot, though he was doing fine. Zack wanted to be sure everything was prepared, and though he would've checked on his girlfriend, she seemed to have woken up early and left. Zack opened the polished bronze door, running his hands through his hair, and looked at his messy bed. It had stuff on it, like a canteen of nectar he was going to take on his journey, two swords with only their elaborate hilts showing, had a packed backpack filled with nuts and honey (for these did not spoil) along with other things like ambrosia --
Wait, those weren't his swords. Zack quickly walked up to his bed, and examined the two swords. They both were sheathed in beautiful scabbards. And the hilts on the swords...exquisite, to say the least. Were... were these his? No one else lived in the bunk... no one else had been claimed as a son of Zeus...
He picked one of them up, examining the fantastic work on the scabbards and the hilt. He placed his hand on the air-design grip of the sword, and tugged it out of the scabbard.
His jaw dropped. The sword looked to be Zeus's himself. The blade had etched in it a lightning bolt, almost looking like one was taken from the sky and placed on the sword. He felt power surge through him as he held the sword, one hand on the hilt and the other on the flat of the blade (it edges looked like it could cut by simply looking at it). Was... was this a gift from his dad? For the quest? He sheathed the sword back into it's empty scabbard, an equally as beautiful scabbard. He looked around on his bed. No note. Zack raised an eyebrow. Well, they seemed like his. No one would just leave their swords on his bed, especially swords that looked like this. He took the one and examined it further. A bastard sword, a one and a half handed sword. It was just the right weight: not too heavy, not too light. It felt like they had stored in it an electrical charge, though he was immune to electricity so he wasn't able to tell of the intensity. He could control the charge though, or so he felt, and turned off the electrical charge. He was enabled speechless by the handsome swords. If only they were smaller, though, then he could carry them without worrying about the bulk --
And then they were made smaller. Both of the swords turned into a ring. They were magnificent rings, with a thunderstorm design in both of them. Zack smiled wide, and looked up at the ceiling and thanked Zeus -- though probably the reason he sent the swords in the first place was because he needed Zack to save him. Placing the two rings on either ring finger on each hand, he quickly finished packing his things. With one last whistle, he called for his golden eagle, Jet, who flew through the window and landed on Zack's shoulder. Zack smiled, took one last look at his cabin and a deep breath, and exited his home. Man oh man would this be a quest.
