Being a demigod had its upsides. For once it gave me superhuman durability. While not on the same level of Thor or Superman with their impenetrable skin, I can withstand most attacks that would otherwise kill a normal human being. Also, while I do not have super fast healing, nectar was a good substitute. It can heal most wounds within minutes. Major wounds within hours.

And for the record, Thor is NOT a demigod, not matter what the media said. He’s a god period. Demi is the latin word for half and god… well is god. Thus a demigod is half god, half mortal. Also, the media had referred Thor and the Norse gods as extradimensional beings. I wonder if Mars and the Olympians are similar. However, I somehow think calling Jupiter an alien wouldn’t bode that well. He would probably smite any human and demigod for all their living days and then some.

Wait does that mean I’m half alien, half human? That’s really cool, in a sense.

However, there are some downsides for being half god. For one, like the other Roman demigods, I have mild ADHD. Tasks like sitting in class feel boring to me. In fact, it builds up this incessant tick to keep moving. This tick builds up until I slaughter the entire class. Mua ha ha haaaaaaaaa! Just joking. I mostly relieve that tick by browsing the web but then I cannot pay attention to the teacher. This skill is good on the battlefield since it’s hard to sneak up on me.

It especially enhances my ability to sense attacks. I call this my “battle sense” but this can be thought of similar to Spider Man’s “spider sense.” I can usually sense attacks before they actually happen.

Another downside is ADHD. I don’t have it as bad as some of the big three but usually take a second read through to make sure I got the right meaning. For example, words often dance in front of me and can sometimes form different words. Take god as an example. Depending on the context, I can sometimes read that as “dog.” I doubt Dad wouldn’t take too kindly to being called the Dog of War…. though I imagine what would Mars in dog form would look like.

Well enough musing for now. Until next time, valete!
