Today started out terribly, who would have thought it would turn out like this? I sure didn't. I'll tell you how it started. I woke up to my annoying siblings! I guess I should explain that. In the past year Poseidon claimed two other children. First Emma showed up and just a week ago a young satyr found Jason. Emma is 13 and Jason is 11. So I woke up to Jason's snoring and Emma's rambling.
"Will you two be quiet!" I yelled, half asleep.
If they heard me they didn't give any sign. I groaned and got out of bed to take a shower. The water was freezing so I had to heat it myself. When I got out I noticed I had nothing clean to wear! I had to wear a pair of black basketball shorts that I wore last week and a long sleeve white shirt that I rolled up to my elbow. Then I walked out of the cabin and eggs dropped on my head! Ugh it had to be the stoll brothers playing another prank! I stormed back inside to take another shower. Then I got redressed. This time I checked out the window to make sure nothing else was rigged. There wasn't so I made my way to the sword arena. I had the same routine every day, I'd get a shower, get dressed, go to the sword arena and then it would be time for breakfast. I practiced with riptide, slashing, and swinging and the dummies. I got a lot better after the big war. I was defiantly the best out of everyone in camp. After about an hour the horn sounded for breakfast. I used my water powers to get the sweat off of me. I slugged of to the dining pavilion, I was greeted by Annabeth. She came running towards me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"It's nice to see you to." I laughed.
"Haha I know your glad to see me." She smirked.
"I can't hang out after breakfast." She told me.
"That's fine I'll find something else to do." I told her.
"Ok see you later then." She gave me a quick kiss then went to join her siblings at her table. Reluctantly I went over to my table. Don't get me wrong I don't hate my siblings it's just a lot to handle. Ever sense Emma came no one cared about me anymore, it's special to have one kid of Poseidon not two and now there were three. Wow I sound like a spoiled brat. Over all they are really good people.
"Percy, I need some help with sword practice." Jason told me.
"That's an understatement! You get your but kicked all the time!" Emma said while laughing.
I rolled my eyes at her. She could be so mean to him.
"Sure I can teach you after breakfast." I told him.
"Thanks Percy." He gave Emma a nasty look.
"Anytime." I mumbled.
To make my day worse Jason and Emma argued for the entire breakfast. After breakfast Jason and I went to the sword arena. There were a lot of other kids there two. There was Tara. She is a hardcore girl. She had dark brown hair, slim body, and fierce electric blue eyes. Yeah she is a daughter of Zeus. We don't talk all that much, probably because of the age difference.
"Ok get in set position. Hold the Hilt tightly." I instructed Jason.
"My sword doesn't feel right. It's too heavy." He complained.
"I no. we need to get you a sword that's right for you. We'll do that after this." I told him.
For two hours we practiced. He learned a lot, he will probably be one of the best out of his age. Now we were on our way to the forge. I'd have someone make him a sword.
"Who is this memorial for?" Jason asked me when we were outside the forge.
I hesitated for a moment.
"That is for Charlie Beckendorf." I said.
"Who is he?" He asked as we walked into the forge.
"He was a Hephaestus kid, best in the forge, and a good friend."
A little while after the war some Hephaestus kids wanted to put a memorial out there for him. Everyone loved the idea, and he deserved it.
We walked over to Max, he was now the best in the forge but not better then Charlie.
"What happened to him?" Jason asked.
I ignored him.
"Hey Max, I need your help with something." I told him.
"What's up?" He asked.
"I need to get a sword for Jason that fits him. Can you make him one?" I asked.
"Sure. We'll take his measurements now."
Jason fidgeted threw all of it.
"Any special designs you want on it?" Max asked him.
He took a moment to think.
"I want a trident on the hilt, and I want the blade to have a tint of blue and green to it." He said.
"Alright. It'll be done some time tomorrow evening." He told us.
"Thanks Max." I told him.
"Yeah thanks." Jason added.
"You're welcome."
After the forge we both went to the shore to sit for a while.
He sat there being very quiet.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"It's nothing." He said after a while.
"Is it your mom?" I asked.
"Yeah. I miss her." He said quietly.
"You'll see her soon. Don't worry you're not alone." I told him.
"I guess."
I hated seeing people in a bad mood and when their sad. I was never good with emotions. I did the only thing I could think to make him not so down. I felt the pull in my gut and the water shot out of the water and splashed him right in the face. He looked at me with his mouth hanging open. I couldn't stop laughing.
"Do you think you're cool? Haha you're not. If I knew how to do that you'd be down." He told me with a grin.
"I'll teach you then we'll see who will be down." I said.
I spent the next hour teaching him how the water powers worked. It wasn't very easy.
"1, 2, 3, Go!" I hollered.
He sent waves of water crashing down but I deflected them all. We kept going back in forth till we were so tired we fell over.
"Haha that was so fun!" He said, out of breathe.
"I no."
Who would of thought that I'd be spending time with my brother today. Also that we would actually bond. I didn't. In the end the day actually turned out good. I wonder what tomorrow will be like.
