Welcome To Hell

It has been a couple days since Aeden gained his body and the family was spending time helping him get used to all the new feelings and emotions. The walking and the running was probably the easiest part since he already had some experience with it.

After he got comfortable enough to move without any issues he was soon included in the magic training and the physical training. When he first joined Mihael gave him an evil smile and said Welcome to hell. Prepare for the torture.

After a day of physical training where both Mihael and Aeden were practically dead on the ground Usiel decided to share more awful news.

We have fighting training after dinner. You both will need to decide on a weapon you want to learn and use.

With that she walked upstairs as they used each other to hobble their way up to the dinner table.

Their parents were already there waiting for them and they prepared a ton of food. 

Just as they sat down and were about to begin eating Raziel stopped them.

Both of you drink this before eating he said while handing them each a glass bottle with what looked like purple slime.

What is it and will it poison us Aeden asked with a curious look.

It definitely looks poisonous and it smells like someone crammed a tree into a bottle Mihael said.

It is a potion to help your bodies recover quickly and help promote muscle growth. Drink it quickly and all in one drink. Raziel said with a smile.

Alright dad I will trust you Mihael said. Lets do it on three Aeden. 

See you on the other side hopefully brother Aeden replied.

They both counted down and chugged it all in one go. Swallowing it they both began to gag from the disgusting flavor of it.

That is quite foul Aeden said between gags.

Mihael began yelling. Why does it taste like rotten eggs and rancid cheese mixed together with curdled milk! 

You were wrong to trust him Aeden said.

Its not that bad Raziel said while he and Usiel laughed. 

Alright enough with the drama. Get to eating because you are gonna need the energy for practice after dinner. Usiel said with a wicked smile.

Mihael and Aeden began shoveling food into their mouths. The potion seemed to boost their metabolism making them feel incredibly hungry. In just around ten minutes they ate enough for three each and were back to feeling full of energy and less dead. As they had dinner with their parents they were laughing and smiling and just having a great time. Although they were all kind of thrown together they fit well with each other.

Finishing dinner they all went back to the training room they got ready for another round of training.

Did you decide on a weapon? Usiel said while stretching.

Yes both Aeden and Mihael replied together. We both decided on a sword.

Good choice it will be a good starter weapon. Alright here you go Usiel said handing them each a training sword with no sharp edge. The sides were dull so they wouldn't kill themselves while training, not that their parents would let that.

Those swords are enchanted to make them heavier and harder to swing. Even if you get stronger the weight will just increase more so you will always struggle. You will also be wearing weighted clothes. This seems like a lot but it will be good to build the necessary muscles quickly. Also you better get used to the taste of those potions your dad made you drink because you are going to be having those with every meal. We are going to get you into shape before the magic academy opens. Be prepared for the most hellish 6 weeks of your life Usiel finished her lecture with an evil smile.

Both Mihael and Aeden began trembling from the fear they felt.

Mom is evil. I thought she was of the angel race, where is the kind and sweet angels! Mihael said while crying.

Yes mother is quite scary, I wonder how Father has survived this long Aeden said while breaking out into a cold sweat.

It has been rough but I love your mom Raziel said. Also angels are supposed to be the warriors while demons are the ones who tempt you into the darkness. So the angels got used to fighting the darkness. But that was many years ago, both races of angels and demons are at peace. There are still fighting and small battles but nothing like the holy wars of long ago. Raziel said with a distant look as if he was remembering a distant past.

Enough reminiscing! Begin swinging your swords! I want you to go until you are sweating blood! Usiel yelled like a drill sergeant. 

Both Mihael and Aeden struggled to swing the swords constantly and after 30 minutes they collapsed to the ground and passed out from exhaustion.
