Dragonfruit: Papa… why didn’t you tell me your mom had the same fate?

Dust: You didn’t let me get that far. You were just so against it. I would have chosen it for myself if I could have, but I… don’t have the same qualities.

Dragonfruit: Papa…

Dust: No it’s okay, I don’t hold a grudge. But you see son, you think this is a fate you wouldn’t want to force on your children, but it’s not that. I never felt forced into this life. You shouldn’t either. Has the god who showed up for you forced you to do anything?

Dragonfruit: No… I guess you have a point.

When the day finally came… I don’t know what I expected.

Ares: Hey kid, names Ares.

Dragonfruit: Ares? Really? The god of war chose me?

Ares: What can I say, I like my men with a little fight in them. Glad you know who I am though. Introductions can be a bit of a bitch.

Dragonfruit: So what now, you going to force me to…

Ares: Nah, that’s not the way I do things. Besides, you didn’t really give your dad a chance to explain. You know he’s a demigod right?

Dragonfruit: Wait, what!?
