Welcome to Gaia! ::

'One,two,three...'Archias counted in his head as he felt the blood soak through his clothes.
"Oh that is it!You Die!"Archias yelled as he nocked and arrow and fire it directly through Akakios' roof,sending it straight through Ares b*****d forehead,"Take that you immortal b*****d child!!"He yelled up at him before looking back at the older man and Has licking the blood from him.
"That was fine,let's work on more after I get cleaned up."He muttered as he went back to his room to change.
Akakios shook his head at Archias reaction and for a moment it seemed that the prissy boy was the one being childish. "How sad." The spartan commented to himself as he watched the boy go to his room. "The bathing area is right over there..." Akakios said in somewhat annoyed growl as he point to the doorway near the blood pool. To a spartan you weren't a man if you couldn't handle getting dirty. It was at this fact that Akakios shook his head at, there was time for being clean at the end of the day when training was finished. Why clean before training was over when you'd just get dirty again. It made little sense to him.
Archias sighed."fine,dammit lets go outside and grab that gauntlet I showed you last night too."He said simply as he took off his silver neclace and wrapped it about his wrist where more quivvers of arrows waited to be used.
Hasakios barked and ran out after him,still looking blood off his dirty clothes like a nursing child.
Akakios climbed out of the blood pool and went over to where the gauntlet was and grabbed it. With it in hand he took a moment to study the boy's retreating form as he left the spartan's home. Smirking faintly Akakios followed Archias outside. "Alright 'miss' what are going to teach me now~?" He asked as he stood outside and gave Archias a mildly questioning look, already somewhat aware of what was to come.
"simple."Archias said as several arrows landed just south of the naked man's vital appendage,"i'm going to teach you not to call me miss.Come at me with all you can while wearing the gauntlet."Archias said as he looked at the metal glove that had also been part of his iwn training.

The gauntlet was made by haphaestous,designed to slow down the wearer for training purposes as well as drain a demi-gods mortal life force to be replaced by godly power.
The spartan made a mental note that the boy liked taking cheap shots as he stared at the arrows. After a moment of silence Akakios looked at the gauntlet he held, unware of what it did to the wearer, and placed it on his left arm. He swayed slightly at first as he wore the thing, "Interesting..." He muttered, looking down at it before looking up at Archias. "Very well then."

The half hearted laid back look on Akakios's face was replaced by a serious one as he dashed towards Archias. As he did a strange sensation spread all over his body cuasing him to stumble a bit as he ran towards the boy. It has to be the gauntlet...The spartan thought as he made the armored hand into a fist and punched the young man in his stomach. Akakios was merely testing out the thing he wore and one could definately see he was thinking for he had a look of deep focus and consetration on his face. Most definately a warroir thats for sure.
"Nice punch,"Archias laughed as he was shoved back only a few inches.
"now put some POWER in it!"At the word power Archias fired off a jab filled with his godly energy into Akakios' stomach before flipping back and firing three more arrows in quick succession.

'he's already figured out the gauntlet is the problem,very good'he thought as he let his bow switch back onto his charms and held out a hand,arrows flying out of it in a deadly shower towards Akakios.
"For the duration of this training that gauntlet is bound to your arm,I won't take it off unless you can beat me."He grinned as he stopped the shower and awaited his next attack.
Though he was hit in the stomach Akakios did not fall, he had his training to thank for this. A spartan wasn't a spartan unless they could work through pain. Though Akakios grunted at the blow he did not fall to the ground or grip at his stomach. He merely snorted and took a few quick breaths as he quickly dove out of the way of the arrows.

As his mind continued to form various plans and such the spartan kept a close eye on Archias, studying his movements down to the very twitch of a finger as the demigod sent a shower of arrows at him. He was quick to move but still found a few of the things embedded in him. Two in his right arm, one in his left thigh, and one in his right shoulder all of which he kept in, only breaking off the tips that still stuck out. When the deadly shower stopped Akakios kept a steady gaze on Archias.

"Fair enough." The spartan nodded slightly to show his approval of this training and again ran at the boy. This time he dropped to the ground at the last moment, sliding on the earth and kicking up a large amount of dirt and dust, before tackling Archias. He attempted to pin the boy, one hand firmly gripping his hair while the other threatened to rip out his lower jaw as Akakios sat ontop of him. The spartan seemed hesitant to try tapping into any of his godly power...
Archias wasn't going to lie to himself,that s**t hurt!
The son of artemis grunted as he noticed his trainee holding back from his birthright.
"What did I say to you?!All of your power or die!"He yelled as he sent a surge of his aura into the ground and up into Akakios' feet,the power skittering along his skin like crawling ants.
Akakios was quick to let go as he felt the sensation that reminded him of the thing he hated most. Once he realized there were no ants on him he glared at the younger boy. "Fine!" He growled as he looked at him. With that Akakios pounced on Archias again and this time grabbed the boy by the ankles, lifted him up into the air for a brief second then slammed him into the ground, this time putting some of that godly power into it causing a crater to form where the boy had landed. It was clear that Akakios listened to him this time.
"Better!"Archias groaned as he scrambled out of the crater and sent a flurry of side kicks at Akakios before dodging back then jumping in with a crescent kick.
The hunter boy was partial to hit and run tactics,especially since he lived in a dense forest and his main weapon was a bow.
"Use everything you have,only then will you attain the true power of Aries!"He said as he now finished with a roundhouse kick.
As each kick landed Akakios grunted and did his best to work through the pain. He planted his feet firmly on the ground as the kicks continued, trying not to budge. The spartan was waiting...for an opening. When he saw it the man ducked from the roundhouse only to once again grab Archias's ankle, pull him upwards then slam him into the ground again but this time he did not stop. He slam him back and forth until there were two craters on either side of Akakios where the boy had landed. A deer couldn't get very far without it's legs....Archias was the deer and Akakios was the wolf snapping at his heels. The spartan was not about to let go of the boy's legs anytime soon.

Aries and the other gods looked on with interest. "Not bad for their first day of training together..." The god of war mused as he continued observing the two.
"Damn,impressive.For a spartan brute."Archias grinned as Has broke up the fight by chomping down on Akakios' hand.
"I think we're done for the day,"Archias laughed as he freed his leg and patted Has on the head before tapping his hand on the gauntlet and pulling it free of Akakios hand,"come inside and try to part the blood again."Archias said as he walked into the house to get dressed and bathed again.
Akakios was quick to let go after Has bite his hand and seemed somewhat relieved when the gauntlet was removed from him as well. For a moment or two he felt a little light headed but shook it off like before and proceeded to follow Archias inside.

The man's body was covered in sweat, dirt, and blood. Typcial of a spartan. He approached the blood pool and happily got in it, sighing as he relaxed against the pool's edge for a moment. Despina was perched nearby on a wooden stand Akakios made for her and watched them with interest. "...." Akakios looked at Archias for a moment before closing his eyes and trying again. He managed to make a very small portion of the blood split apart but the minute he opened his eyes it stop and went back to normal. "It's a very tricky thing to do. You make it look easy." The way the spartan spoke to the boy...it would seem he admired him and this was obvious in his tone of voice. In a way he had just spoke a compliment.
"You're just having a rough time of it because you were raised in human society.I had it easy because my mother trained me all my life as a god but not a mortal.Out of all this i'd say you got the better half of the childhood,you know both of your parents and my dad was turned into a deer and chased down by hunting dogs."He smiled sadly for a moment as he thought of his father but dashed away the memories before taking Akakios' hand and holding it over the water,"close your eyes,concentrate."He whispered as he channeled his energy through Akakios to help him sort out his own power.
