Percy's POV

Have you ever had one of those days where you work out so much that you can't move a muscle the next day? No? Well I have. I've been training at my father's underwater palace in the sea for just over a month now and I wonder how I can still even move.

The days start off as such: I wake up much earlier than I should thanks to Tyson's snoring which sounds like a trumpet concert, then I wake up, get dressed, and walk to the throne room and bow to Poseidon, Amphrite, and my brother Triton. Amphrite, and Triton have told me numerous amounts of times that I didn't need to but if they weren't so hospitable to me while I was staying here I would feel it would have been really disrespectful. So, continuing on after I tell them "good morning" and have a small breakfast, I start my training.

So with all of the duties my father has he sends me tutors to train me in different forms of combat. This morning I had a grueling 2 hour sparing session with Triton, and let me tell you, he is no slouch when he uses a net and trident. After he beats me up like a rag doll, he helps me up and he congratulates me on getting better, and I have to agree with him. During our first training session he had me on my back with a barb of his trident at my neck in under a minute. But after a few lessons I even beat him a few times, even if it was just barely, but I had no time to rest. For my next training I went to work in the forges with Tyson and Briares, learning how to make better armor, and strengthening my resistance to heat. My next training lasted the longest. I had to spend 5 hours straight learning how to improve my control over water.

Normally I could just splash myself with water and I would be reenergized, but when I was training with my father that went out the window. After a week, we teleported to a far off beach in the Bahamas to see how my training was going. My mission then was to try to send a wave at my father and try to get it to hit him. I started to put all my effort into moving the wave while my dad was just raising an eyebrow at me as he was smirking. But with a tug of my gut I put all my strength into sending the wave forward, and to my surprise I got it to hit him, but obviously seeing as he is lord of the oceans he didn't get wet. To be able to do that to him is a feat.

But now it's been a month since I started training and I have an even harder test to do. We teleported to a desert in New Mexico and my job was to make a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

One thing my father told me before we started was, "Ok son, now seeing as you're a son of mine you have control over water and earthquakes, so your job is to make a 9.0 earthquake and try to knock me over."

I was surprised to hear that Triton couldn't even make it past a 7.0 magnitude.

"Ok Percy, we are 10 miles away from any town or houses but just in case I will put up a barrier so no one will get hurt," he added.

Ok dad here I go, I thought as I closed my eyes and pulled all the power I could manage and sent it under my feet. At first I didn't feel anything other than a little shaking but then out of nowhere the ground started to shake and cracks started to form in the ground causing fissures to crack open the ground, leaving a 6 foot long hole in the ground.

"Ok son, you gotta stop now. This is out of control," my father said sternly.

I closed my eyes again and imagined a soft wave on a lake to calm me down, and the shaking stopped and I looked around. There were trenches everywhere; chunks of rocks the size of cars were thrown across the ground, and suddenly I passed out.

I woke up with a massive headache and slowly started to sit up, but a hand was pressed on my shoulder and pushed me softly back on the bed. I looked to see who it was and saw Lord Apollo standing above me with a worried expression on his face.

"Percy," he said calmly, "you must relax. You put a lot of strain on your body during your training and you have been unconscious for the past 4 days."

"What? Lord Apollo, how did that happen? " I asked in surprise.

He looked at me pointedly and continued, "Percy, after you passed out your father brought you to my palace to see what happened to you. And you caused what would have been the 3rd strongest earthquake in the history of the world. Had your father not have put a barrier around your training ground, everything would have been destroyed. When he realised how strong it was, he had to fight off your earthquake to keep it in check."

"Did anyone get hurt, Lord Apollo?"

He shook his head. "No, thankfully no one got hurt, Percy. Your father fixed all the damage and the mortals are none the wiser."

"But how did I create an earthquake that strong?"

"That I do not know, but it is not your fault. I do know that now that you should just relax and get some sleep while I go let your father know you are all right. Here, drink some nectar. I am sure you are not feeling well."

I leaned down to the bedside desk to pick up the cup and I was about to tell Apollo 'thanks' but I noticed he must have teleported out. I took a drink of nectar and lay back down and closed my eyes.

Demigod dreams suck. I fell asleep and after a few minutes I heard a voice in my head. I have never heard this voice before, but something told me I had nothing to fear.

"Do not worry young one, the power you have in you is great—maybe the best there has ever been— and in the coming time you will know what to do with that power. Now rest young child, and train well. We will talk again soon," the mysterious voice murmured, and soon it faded away.
