AN: Hi guys! This is just a little one shot that I wrote. It's Tyson working in the forges after the Titan war and what I think it would be like. It's not very long... but it works. This came out of my sister's recent birthday party, where I got her the Percy Jackson books as her Birthday present. She's really into Harry Potter, so I figured she'd probably like the Percy Jackson stuff too. Anyways, this came out of me remembering how much I loved Tyson as a character and a little free time. So, here you go. Please review and tell my what you think(I want honest answers).

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in regards to the Percy Jackson series(or anything else I spend my time reading)

Tyson at Work:

Tyson worked happily on the new shield that Hephaestus had requested. The metal bent and flowed between his fingers as he worked to make it just right. The shield should be perfect, just right with no flaws at all. There wasn't any use in making something if you weren't going to make it right.

He had learned that from Daddy and Percy. Percy was just right. The best brother he could have wanted. The best friend he'd ever had. Most people weren't very nice to Tyson before Percy. Percy had been his first friend, even before realizing they were brothers.

He tapped the metal a couple times, testing its pliancy. Was it just right for folding yet? Nope. It needed a few more seconds under the heat. He tinkered with a bar of Celestial Bronze, testing it for any flaws while he waited. Most Cyclopes didn't do that, but he did. The metal was mined from Olympus. It wouldn't have any flaws. But he just wanted to be sure. He didn't want to make anything that would break when a hero used it. He just wanted to be sure.

He set the bar aside. It was okay. No flaws at all, as always.

Tyson turned back to his current project, the shield Lord Hephaestus had asked him to make. It was a cool design. Tyson had looked it over several times to be sure he knew it by heart. It was a round shield, like most of the shields the hero's preferred. Most of the shields had designs. This one was going to have a picture of a mountain on the front. It was supposed to be a picture of Olympus. But, Tyson wasn't skilled enough to capture the city's beauty in a picture. No one was. Anabeth had done a great job when she redesigned it.

He liked Anabeth a lot. Percy had good friends. Even if they did sometimes seem uncomfortable around Tyson, they were good. They were nice to Percy. That's all that mattered to Tyson where Percy's friends were concerned. Though, he had commented that if Percy and Annabeth kept keeping their mouths so close, they wouldn't be able to breath. Percy had gotten really red and so had Annabeth.

Tyson smiled at the thought of his brother and Annabeth. They'd invited him to come and visit some time. That had been really nice of them, especially when Percy offered blue cookies. He could feel his mouth water at the thought of some of Percy's mom's blue cookies. They were really good.

He tapped the metal for the shield again. It was ready.
