I woke up and touched my cheek, my scar wasn't open like I had thought it would be. Lucky said that it might open in the night since it was only a month old. I looked around and realised I somehow got out to the beach. . .

That's right! I remembered now. I'd woken up earlier because of a headache and had come down here to gather my thoughts about the party I went to five days ago. It hadn't been much fun, a lot of name calling involved.

Then I really took in my surroundings.

I yelped in fright, there, in front of me, half hiding behind a tree, was a boy around my age. I couldn't see his face very well and I got up, shuffling towards him slowly.

"Who are you?" I asked slowly but precisely.

The boy looked at his hands and I saw a flash of something roll down his cheek. A tear? I wasn't sure.

"My name is Apollo Marelle, and you saved my life Ares."
