Getting home Milton went to bed pretty quickly. He wanted to be up and awake earlier so he could finish his home schooling earlier. Leaving Dawn waiting was not what he was planning at all. Lying awake he thought about what had just happened. His world had just been turned upside down. He was now not just another kid, he was the descendant of Athena, the ancient greek goddess Athena. For some reason he was a part of some great big game of the gods linking people up. Bonds, Dawn called them. So he was bonded, tied together by fate. He didn't like the idea the he wasn't in charge of his life. Although it didn't feel too bad, Dawn was beautiful and she seemed nice enough, it certainly wasn't a bad matching. He smiled to himself as he stared up at the ceiling. Still, the whole situation needed some getting used to. He'll do some research or some reading, find a way to understand just whats going on.

The next day wasn't the nicest, cold and overcast in the morning. The radio reported that there was going to be rain around midday when Milton turned it on at six. "Damn" He cursed, just at the right time to intervene with his three-thirty appointment. Still, he had to get his work done as well by that time so after he breakfast he brought out his books and sat down at the table. He was usually early to rise, he worked better in the morning then the night but he wasn't usually this diligent. It seemed he had something to work for. He worked his way through a chapter of his maths book, he was fine in sciences so he put more effort into mathematics to try and keep his grades up. He had a high aspiration, hoping to get to Oxford or Cambridge, although he wasn't sure what he wanted to study precisely. Now with the whole new situation he didn't know how a normal life would work out for him.

He was finished just after noon, leaving him a full two hours at least to spend before he was going to meet Dawn. He retired to his room, searching the ever useful Google for information on Aphrodite. He knew the basics, god of love and such but he wanted to know a little more about the world he just inherited. He couldn't find much, the god of beauty and love didn't exactly get a clean press on the internet and most of the sites listed Milton did not want to visit. He settled on Wikipedia, although he knew the encyclopedia was actually very narrow on the information it provided. He read through the facts, he enjoyed knowledge and didn't want to get left out if the time came. He did wonder if Dawn had gained some of her mother's more flirtatious attitude. He didn't spend too long on the thought, it was nearing three and he never liked being late so he set off for the lounge, making sure to bring a rain jacket in a backpack. The forecast of rain hadn't manifested yet, although the clouds were heavy and waiting.
