THREE

Percy

A few weeks after Will had arrived we were all in a training session when Frank turned into a rabbit.

It surprised us all to see him running around as a black and white rabbit, but after a while we all burst out laughing when we realised he couldn't turn back. It had been quite amusing to see Frank's burly patron Ares carrying him out of the room to help him turn back.

A few days later Will fell from the top of the climbing wall. He broke his ankle and we all saw the bone sticking out of his leg. He reset it quickly (being a doctor he knew that was the thing to do) and in seconds it was healed and he could walk on it.

That left just me, Hazel, Reyna and Calypso with no powers.

Despite what I was seeing around me every day I still struggled to believe it. Annabeth's mind had been made up the moment she discovered her powers. But me? I just couldn't believe that everything that I had been through was leading to this. I had lost everything. Everything except Annabeth.

I stood to the side in a training session, taking a short break. I used my time to watch the others.

In one half of the room the people who had developed their powers were practicing with them, with Will stood to one side, holding fire extinguisher as he watched Leo warily.

There had been an incident a few days ago, which had left half the room on fire and Frank with 3rd degree burns. Will had quickly healed him, but had decided to keep his eye on Leo from then on.

In the other half of the room Percy was just about to launch into a sword fight with Reyna, Hazel and Calypso. Hazel was wielding a sword that looked like it was too long for her, but she didn't seem to care, she wielded it gracefully. Reyna used a short sword and although she hadn't been using it for long she was already extremely good with it. Calypso was fast, so she had opted for a dagger, which she was still getting used to.

Percy was lethal. Their fight began and Percy took down the three of them in less than two minutes. Ares was lent up against a wall near them and pushed himself towards Percy, he seemed to be challenging him to a duel.

The two of them started fighting.

"He's powerful even without powers." A voice said from behind me. I turned to see Poseidon standing behind me.

"Lord Poseidon." I bowed my head.

"No need for that." Poseidon laughed.

"Okay," I agreed, "and yes, he seems to have picked up sword fighting very quickly."

"There is a reason that he was chosen as the air to the crown of Olympus." Poseidon looked at Percy, with the same proud look that a father would have looking at his son, "although he still seems to completely object to all of this. I'm surprised he's still here."

"He would never leave Annabeth." I told the god, "She's his everything."

"Now that I can see," He glanced at Annabeth who had just reappeared and was watching Percy duel with Ares.

Ares let out a growl as Percy disarmed the war god. Percy didn't look smug, or the least bit pleased with himself. He just shoved his sword into his belt and stalked off. Annabeth chasing closely after him.

I go back to school tomorrow :( so here's a back to school present for everyone.
