The training plans felt more like a War Council.
Kyrah was kind enough to cover with us the events being hosted in these events and we planned for who would put themselves forward for each. As a team it made sense for us to enter as many as we could in order for as many of us as possible to qualify for the team events, which is where most of the fame and fortune is to be won. Not that we need it for ourselves these days, but the power used by Vallus, Kyrah, Pythor and Volkan to blunt Sydon's rage as we arrived at the city may be restored if enough people renew their faith in the five.
Belief it seems, is a strong source of power to these gods. It's an indication that our efforts against the faithful of the twins is having an effect- why else send the Empyreans here, unless we are a danger worth facing?
Unfortunately it means that during the weeks of training leading up to the events, it may no longer be safe here in Mytros. We have sworn the Athletes Oath, to protect the spirit of the games and not strike out at our fellow athletes or their sponsoring organisations or nations. As the young Titans are here as heads of state and not taking part, they are under no such restrictions.
The Run in Pamplaxia is coming soon. The event may be a good excuse to get us out of the city under a reasonable excuse rather than simple prudence. It is also said of course that the winners of the Run are favoured with good fortune and the favour of the Gods.
And we need all the favour we can muster.
