All year long I've been training and training. Most of the campers have been going on missions for most of the year, keeping an eye on Kronos's army, the latest mission Percy and Charles Beckendorf went to take out the 'Princess Andromeda' with a lot of explosives, I wanted to go, but Chiron is strict as hell. He won't let me doing anything but train, rest, eat, rest and then train again, oh yeah plus the studying that is killing me!
I'm not saying Annabeth is being hard on me (which she is, but I can handle it) I just don't like studying that much. But all this is 'necessary' according to Chiron, I have to do this is order to beat Typhon...A giant monster that might kill me. Even if it does kill me, the gods are still there to clean up what I probably couldn't finish.
And since Percy is on a mission I'm sword fighting with…It's not my sibling nor is it my tutor. It's not going to be another camper, it's going to be me against myself. I've started to get better at controlling my powers. Like the telekinesis, if I concentrate really hard, I can fight myself.
This has actually helped me, since I've spent a lot of time not using a sword…You want to know how Percy did against me at beginning. He kicked my ass! Who knew spending almost a year without using a sword, could set you back so far that you don't even know what to do? Pretty much everyone…But that was almost a year ago, I've already surpassed Percy, and it was pretty shocking for him, even though it took me six months just to get back to that level…
Today I decided to ramp up my training, I started floating and pick my speed, I was like peter pan right now, without the tights. Anyway, it was hard to sidestep in mid-air, so I tried to find a way to fight while in the air, gliding seems to do the trick, doing all this takes a lot of concentration, lucky all year I've been doing just that, concentrating on the littlest things, I didn't care what it was, I just concentrated on it and used my telekinesis's to move it up, down, left and right.
Sometimes I would even look away and try to move it, it was hard, but I tried it every day for one hour. I would move an inch every time I was done. And that was almost a year ago, now, I can control multiple things without looking at it, it doesn't matter what it is, I can control it.
But…Of all the powers I've been using, I think you can guess which one I haven't been able to use. Chiron tried consulting me about it, and so did Annabeth. But they can't help me, I have to do it myself. I think it's about time…I go to Bianca. I've ran away long enough.
As I was floating in the air, two hundred feet above camp half-blood, Annabeth called me down, "Wyatt! It's already noon!"
I looked at her and sighed, "Yeah…I'm coming."
She saw the look on my face, "Again? Wyatt, she won't be mad at you. She was a nice girl, she's not going to hold a grudge against you. It was never your fault." She said softly.
'Wyatt!-
The memory keeps replaying in my head whenever I think about talking to her. I looked at my hand, I was shaking again. "You've told me many times…So has Artemis and Chiron, but I killed her, I did, not Kronos…"
This is what? The four hundredth time this has happened? I get so depressed I can't even do anything, it keeps replaying…It doesn't want me to forget I killed Bianca di Angelo.
Nico has told me it wasn't my fault too, but I try to avoid all the time now…It hurts to see him, he reminds me of Bianca whenever I see him. This entire year has been tough, no doubt about that, but…I've had fun times too, like three months ago, Neil, a son Ares (Also my best friend) Finally got his challenge against me, a lot of people actually came to watch for some reason.
'"You know, I've been training my ass off for this moment. So don't go easy on me." Neil told me before our match started, I smirked at him, "I never go easy on anyone."
"Haha! That's what I want to hear!" He yelled happily, and got ready. At that time I was still a little sloppy with using a sword. So Neil took advantage of that and pushed me hard form the beginning. "Whoa!" I exclaimed as he almost slashed me across the chest. I smiled excitedly even though he almost got me out on the first try.
"You never beat before! What thinks you can do it now!?" I tried baiting him. He didn't bite, "Oh, you really want to see that badly?" She smiled smugly at me and thrust at me. I easily sidestepped, but Neil was really fast and his sword fighting has improved dramatically. I was really impressed, "Damn, you should be the one to train me." I told him.
Again he didn't fall for it, he ignored me and kept pushing me, damn, I think I might lose. He was in his own little world, beating me was his number one priority. I pushed back and to my surprise, it worked, he took a step back. This is my chance, I tried disarming him with the disarming maneuver Luke taught me so long ago. If I remember correctly, I just somehow get myblade to hit the base of Neil's and twist it, and try to put all my weight into a downward thrust. Then it should work.
I tried it and failed. Damn, I'm not out yet. Neil was surprised by what I just tried to pull, so I pushed forward, he made a misstep and I advanced even more, I hit his sword so hard it went flying ten feet away from us, he sat down hard, I was breathing hard, my sword point at his throat. "Whew! Damn Neil, you almost got me!" I said and helped him up, he looked a little disappointed but he smiled, "Yeah, but next time I'll win for sure."
I nodded, "I can't wait."'
And now three months later, I'm a master at sword fighting, archery. Once Annabeth passes me, I can start working even more on my powers. I'm so excited!
Just a small chapter for today, I'll have a long chapter up either today or tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!
