“Mom? Where’s Dad?” a small blue cheetah asked stalking up to his mother. He was seeking this information so he could speak to his father. He was going to be an apprentice soon and he wanted some advice. “He’s probably in the blacksmith den, Zios dear.” The cub’s mother responded. “Thank you, mom!” he responded as he bounded off towards a cave that was emitting smoke.

Zios stalked up to the entrance and peeked in. Wow. It was pretty tidy in here for a place that made armor. There was metal sheets and plates in one pile. Feathers and other things in another. Cloths and silks somewhere else.

The cheetah’s attention was drawn to the cream-colored hybrid that Zios identified as his father. “Dad!” Zios purred out and walked in a bit. The older apprentice turned to his adopted son and smiled. “Hey Z. What are you doing here?” he asked the younger.

Zios didn’t respond right away as he stared at the open fire, he’d never noticed how pretty fire was until now. He’d never seen fire in fact but it was memorizing in his opinion. He stared for another minute before his concentration was broken by his father’s laughter.

“You like the fire, kid?” Perceus asked.

How could he respond to that? He shifted awkwardly. “I mean it does look really pretty.” He responded, playing with his paws. “It’s dangerous too.” Perceus said as he looked down at his son with a smile. Zios looked up, dangerous huh? Well, of course it was dangerous. It was a fire, and there was cloth, fur and other items that could lead to harm in the general vicinity how was it not dangerous?

“Anyways. I wanted to talk to you about me being an apprentice. I honestly think I’m ready and will be becoming one soon. Do you have any tips for me?” Zios said as he went back to a neutral expression. His blind eye was open but he’d gotten used to it by now. “Well. I mean you could get a mentor you do or don’t like. But I recommend just listening to them.” Perceus responded. “You could probably also ask one of the higher ranks if you could train to be a healer or blacksmith. But then again I think we have enough of those…” he said afterwards trailing off.

He couldn’t sleep that night. He tossed and turned in the nest he had. Why couldn’t he sleep. Was he nervous? Was he scared? No. He knew what and who he had to ask but he didn’t know how. He wanted to be like his dad. Even if that meant giving up fighting and defending the territory, he wanted so badly to be like his father. In Zios’s opinion. Perceus was the best dad in the world. Just look at the den he had made for himself, Zios and Lamia! It was beautiful and had been worked on with heart. Zios wanted to be like that.

The next morning Zios got up early. He stalked off and waited outside the blacksmith’s den for his father and the current blacksmith, Ifrit or Cub, to arrive that morning. He sat tall and proud with his question ready on his tongue. His tail tip twitched excitedly as he waited but he kept a serious face.

When his father and Ifrit arrived, he stood.

“Ifrit. Perceus. I want to be a blacksmith.” The words slipped out boldly as he stood proud and ready for a new destiny.

aaaaaa i'm actualy super proud of myself :'''D

Yes Zios did use Percy's name but only because he thought it would be more formal for the situation.
Anyways! tryout for blacksmith ^^
