Disclaimer: I do not own any part or the Percy Jackson and the Olympians or the Heroes of Olympus series. If I did I would be lounging in the Caribbean on a yacht, but it belongs solely to Rick Riordan.

As always, I want to give a huge thank you to my wonderful Beta, Anaklusmos14. I highly recommend any and all his stories as they are absolutely fantastic. And I'm going to use this time to address some reviews.

Guest(Whoever you are): Much like above^^ just sit tight and keep reading and reviewing and I'll do my best to make the story great. I just can't reveal too much about the plot:D

Chapter Two

Percy's POV

Pontus and Thalassa's ancient palace

The palace was surprising but stunning at the same time. It had large outer walls that were 30 feet high and about 10 feet thick. They protected the city on all sides, with a set of large imperial gold gates with pearls along the top. Inside the walls, the palace was absolutely breathtaking. It looked so much grander than Atlantis, and that was hard to believe. But it had the mostly Greek architecture; the palace was made out of the most brilliant white marble, even more brilliant than the marble on Olympus and everything was inlaid with imperial gold. But I noticed something I thought was very strange.

"I don't mean to sound rude but why is it so small, and why are there no other creatures or people here? And how does my father not know where your palace is?" I asked.

Pontus replied, "That's because the only other undersea palace you have seen is your fathers. But remember Atlantis is a city, and it also is not defended by such huge fortifications. That is because your father has mermen, Cyclops, himself and Triton and other sea creatures such as Delphin God of dolphins to help defend Atlantis. This palace is smaller than his because it is not a city, it is just our palace. We are primordials, we have no seats of power because we are the personification of our domains and that is what makes us so powerful compared to the Olympians. We have the wall to protect us in case of some unexpected trouble but we have never had need to fear an attack and because it is our palace and not a city that's why there are no creatures or people here. And your father cannot find this place because it is covered in the mist. In the time of the primordials there was enough mist for use to cover each of our palaces with, and just so you know that bastard Oceanus cannot find it either. "

"Oh." was all I could manage to reply with.

Pontus and Thalassa laughed," We know it's a bit overwhelming, but we have to start somewhere. So we'll start with primordials being the personifications of their domains. We are the personifications of the sea. That being the case we know it's difficult to understand still. An example is in order, now watch closely Percy and focus on how the water feels and search for me. "

Then Pontus disappeared, but I did as I was told. I was shocked to find I could sense Pontus and the water as the one in the same. I was shocked at how easily he displayed his power.

Pontus reappeared and said, "That is just one example of our power and what we will train you to do. It will be minimal until we bestow our power upon you but when we do so, you will have the true power of the primordial of the seas in you and be able to do the same and most likely more than we ever could combined with your battle prowess and your skill with water already as a son of Poseidon."

"Are you serious? This is all so unbelievable. And no offense but if you are so powerful why don't you just take over the seas from my father?" I asked.

Pontus's face became very serious and he said," We are peaceful primordials and have no wish to rule, and would only intervene if your father was acting carelessly and damaging his domain. But not all primordials have peaceful dispositions, but they can't ever work together and alone they cannot take on all the Olympians. Should they ever band together then there would be some serious trouble. There is only one way to kill a primordial and it is a closely guarded secret only primordials know about. You have to battle another primordial, incapacitate them and take them to your domain and stab them through the heart and that will finish them. Again, make sure you don't forget they can only be killed by a primordial in that primordials domain with a stab through the heart and it doesn't matter what type of weapon or metal is used as long as it pierces their heart. That's why we don't venture into each other's domains if we aren't on good terms with one another. I suggested you incapacitate them because if they are not unconscious and bound in celestial bronze or imperial gold it would be almost impossible to get them to your domain. But all this is super secret; do not tell anyone no matter who asks Percy, do you understand? Swear on the Styx so I know you understand and I have your binding promise."

I was shocked into silence for a few minutes and then replied, "Yes, I understand. I swear on the River Styx that I will never divulge the secret of how to kill a primordial under any and all circumstances."

Thalassa smiled, "Thank you Percy that means a lot. Now let us continue to your training. You will spar with me and my husband. We will do this for 3 months without powers to perfect your fighting techniques with every weapon except a bow. Then we will spend the last 6 months training your powers and show you all the things you can achieve with them."

"That sounds great Milady, but why not a bow?" I asked.

Thalassa and Pontus doubled over laughing and I was very confused. They saw the look on my face and laughed even harder, when they finally regained their composure I was glaring at them.

They both chuckled again and said," Surely you have been told no true child of the sea can use a bow properly?"

"Umm no I haven't been told that before, what about my half-brother Orion he used a bow fine and even was as good as Artemis evidently?" I asked.

They scowled, "Orion was a son of Poseidon yes, but he was not a true child of the sea. He barely had any power over water and using a bow and daggers was the only way he could fight. He got good because since that was the case it was all he trained at for years before he met Artemis. But Orion was not the man portrayed in the myths. He was really a womanizer who got caught by Apollo sleeping with multiple mortals and as result of him severely disliking Orion he tricked Artemis into shooting and killing him."

No way is that true, I have always thought so highly of Orion. "Why did Artemis put him in the sky then?" I asked.

She did it as he was dying, and Apollo wasn't able to tell her until just after she'd done that. That is why she formed the hunters and hates men with such passion." Pontus replied.

"Now let's get to training. The rules are as soon as somebody land a blow on another they're are out of training until only one person is left." Thalassa reminded me.

So, I took out riptide and got in position, and Thalassa brought out her huge Imperial gold spear and Pontus took out a sword similar to mine but again it was imperial gold. When we were sparring and my mind was on autopilot. Duck, parry, feint, stab, parry and so it went for a few hours. I was amazed at my stamina and I asked, "Why am I feeling so fresh after training so long?"

And Pontus replied, "The water is keeping you fit and fresh, like we have just started. It makes this perfect condition to train you in."

Then shortly after I parried a strike from Pontus and I saw Thalassa coming in for a stab and I used the disarming maneuver and I was shocked to hear a clank as her spear fell to the ground. I ran and picked it up and used my sword, now in my left hand to lightly slice Thalassa in the side and I drew golden ichor and I knew now it was just Pontus and I. Now I had an advantage with two weapons. Or so I thought…

Please review and let me know what you think. That is what gives me the motivation to update. Thanks so much~OA
