New enhancements. . .and the accommodations that follow

So, it seems I’ve gained another piece of my inherited power, my Titanblood having stirred a little more, granting me an enhanced physique. Though, the nature of how I figured this out in the first place left me with needing to make some. . .accommodations, for myself. It was the day after my last contract, and I was going for a run in the Catskill mountains when I suddenly felt strange, and the next step I took crushed the log I had laid my foot on. . .fun. So it seems I’ve become a LOT stronger, but at the same time a lot heavier. . .and I mean a LOT. I went from 250 to 2,500! Lord above the calls I had to make to reinforce my home to handle my weight, as well as having  to call my agent to notify the boxing league my “predicament”. The next week became a mixture of having to take several physicals for the league, alongside other tests and generally having to restructure a lot in my life because of my changing biology. . .i wonder how much more my divine blood’s slow awakening will change me?

My titanblood roused more, and my girlfriend finally moved in with me!

So! There is two topics to talk about today, first: my titanblood woke up some more and I gained another aspect of my ancestral race: their fortitude and pain tolerance! My flesh seemed to harden, and when I tried to stab my hand, the blade bounced right off! Plus, injuries don't seem to affect my stress levels anymore. . .it's wild how my titanblood seems to affect my body as I become more and more Titan, and less and less human.


That aside, other good news, my girlfriend finally was able to move in with me! This lasted for a day or two after my latest contract, took a bit to get all of her stuff settled, but everything is great now! We share my bedroom, and turned one of the guestrooms into an office for her to work from (she's a freelance coding professional, makes good money with it too). . .it helped a lot with raising my spirits, I had to explain my contracts to her, took many hours and a LOT of venting my inner turmoils (and hers), and in the end we came out strong as ever. . .by zeus, I love this woman.

A gift from Uncle Aaron, and some deep diving into history

So, it’s been a small while since my last contract, and my uncle came by 2 weeks ago. He and I chatted and caught up a bit, talked plans, and generally had a good time. Before he left though, he gave me a box, said it was a gift for me, something he had found while exploring some old ruins in Greece. It caught my attention, and after he had left, and goodbyes were given, I looked inside the box to find a pair of intricate leather vambraces. They looked old, yet somehow still undamaged by time, with strange designs etched into the leather. At first, I didn’t think much of them. . .until I put them on the next day out of curiosity, and suddenly I feel a rush of power, and I have a spear of fucking fire in my hand, and it doesn’t burn me! It took my a LOT of research, and diving into Greek mythological history, to get an idea of what these things could be. They’re obviously some sort of divine artifact, and the fire spears narrows it down a lot. These either belonged to Apollo, Hestia. . .or Prometheus, honestly? I’m kinda hoping they’re from one of the latter two. But! Potential origins aside, I had an archery range set up in my backyard, and began practicing throwing the spears of fire I could summon from the vambraces, and so far it’s been productive. I wonder what else lies hidden in these leather vambraces. . .who knows what powers lie dormant? Well, I hope to find out, and use these to the best of my ability!
