Terra's POV

It was a brisk autumn day, and as I hurried through the park, orange and red leaves swirled down around me while I pulled my scarf closer to my face, my heart beating wildly. Quite a few people stared at me as I rushed by them, probably because of the hurricane of leaves that I left in my wake. Normally I would have hastened to restrain myself so I wouldn't make a scene or lose control of my powers. But today was different. I twisted around to check… yep, he was still there- the son of Neptune.

I started to full-out run, but then saw that I was nearing a cliff- a dead end. How had I not noticed that before? Sea spread outward for miles, everywhere, and I realized that I was trapped. The son of the sea god was smarter than he looked. He raised his hands, and a huge wave towered over me. But I wasn't afraid. Two could play this game. I concentrated, and the wave crashed down on him, dousing him in 200 gallons of salt water. I stayed completely dry, but so did he. I knew that I wouldn't be able to hurt him with water, but I just wanted to scare him. He stared at me in shock, standing ankle-deep in the remaining water from the wave.

"How-" he began to say.

"Save it, Percy Jackson." I said. "I know who you are, and trust me, I am much more powerful than you will ever be. I don't want to fight, and if you leave me alone I'll leave you alone."

"Hey! I don't want to fight either. Can we truce for the moment?"

"If you don't want to fight, then why did you levitate that huge wave right over my head?"

"I was actually going to show you who I was, in case you didn't already know. I thought that wave would show you." He smiled sheepishly.

"Show-off," I muttered. But I was beginning to relax a little. Not entirely because he claimed he wasn't an enemy- I had absolutely no reason to believe him on that. More because I was realizing that he was limited. He had only water powers, whereas I had that and much more. Then again, he did defeat the titan Kronos almost single-handedly. I have to admit, that's pretty amazing.

"I just wanted to talk to you," he pleaded. I promise I won't hurt you. Okay?"

A promise? Like that was going to be enough.

"Okay," I said. "As long as we promise not to use our weapons against each other." Ha. I didn't have any weapons. Just my powers. And I hadn't promised to not use those against him.

"Or our powers," He said, raising an eyebrow. Dang it. I knew that I should say no, but I was so curious as to what he had to say that I just had to say yes.

"Fine."

"Cool. I know a good place where we can talk."
