Description:

On certain days, Phillip keenly remembers his father. Soft blue eyes and the familiar crooked smile that would usually grace his lips. The way his father’s eyes turn sad whenever little Phillip would ask about his non-existent mother who had abandoned him on the doorstep of his father’s one-bedroom apartment. His existence changed the trajectory of his father’s ambitious career, turning him into a single father who needed to juggle his career path as a military consultant and being a parent to a baby boy. He still remembers the days when he followed his father into the occupied military bases as he could not find any babysitters to take care of him at the last minute. He always toddled behind his father, pointing in awe at the large planes or staring widely at the roaming soldiers who were either in gear or resting. He had been just a child but his mind was too quick, just like his father, never knowing that it was a gift from his mother until he had turned ten. Now, he was older, broken to know the truth of his existence and the numerous games the gods can play on mortal lives, especially as he holds the title of Athena's Shadow.
