Percy's POVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx
I heard about the new kid and I was dying to meet him.
I found Annabeth by my door.
"Morning, seaweed brain." She greeted.
I ignored this. "Heard about the new kid?" I asked.
"Yeah, I saw him myself." She said matter-of-factly.
"What does he look like?" I said, hungry for information.
"He has one green eye, and one yellow one. He's about your height, but a little more buff. He has Auburn colored hair, and it reaches his eyebrows, but is spiked diagonal at the back."She said, taking a breath.
"Sounds interesting."
Virgil's POVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
I was eating lunch when I sensed eyes on me.
I looked up to see a kid about my height staring at me.
He had black hair, and seaweed green eyes.
I guess everyone is still getting used to me. That night, when we were all around the bonfire, Chiron made his way to us. "Greetings, demigods! As you may know, we have a new camper. His name is Virgil Fox," He said, pointing at me. This earned a lot of yelling and murmurs throughout the crowd. "Virgil here may be chosen tonight by his godly parent. Or maybe we will know during tomorrow's training."
Everyone watched me, waiting for a sign. I huddled down in my seat, and I felt blood rising to my face. "It isnt happening." The kid with seaweed green eyes said. "Patience, Percy!" Someone with blonde hair and gray eyes said. "Awe, Annabeth, dont be mean." Percy said.
They watched for a bit longer, and when a couple got up, it happened.
A stalk of corn erupted above my head.
"Whoo!" A bunch of kids with Demeter on their shirts said.
Everyone left then. I went with the Demeter people, and when I reached the door, someone said "Hey, Virgil." I whirled around to see Annabeth. "Hiya, Annabeth." I said, trying to sound cool. "You know my name?" She inquired. "I heard Percy say it." I said. "So, anyway. I hope you're having a good time." She said seductively. "I am." I said. "Maybe I'll see you at training?" I asked. Though it was more of a statement.
"Probably. See you around."
Next morning at trainingxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I was putting on my armor, when I asked Chiron for a sword. "Hmm. I want to try something. Just a small test. Put out your hand, and imagine a sword in it." I did so, closing my eyes while doing it.
I felt a handle in my hands. "Oh my gods." I said, suprised.
Chiron pushed me towards the forest. "Today we will be playing a game of survival. We will keep playing until there are only two people that havent surrendered, got injured severely, or became ill, and they will fight eachother. Understood?" he said, catching his breath after that long statement. "Yeah!" They replied loudly. I heard a whistle and guessed that was my cue. I ran through the forest, and imagined my sword by me. 'I'll have to name it later.' I thought. Once it was in my hands, I looked around for potential enemies. I saw one kid from the Ares cabin aiming an arrow at me. I dodged it, and threw my sword at him. It didn't hit, but I imagined it back in my hand and there it was. I looked up at the Ares kid and he was gone. I looked around and realized I should move. I started running again, when I saw an Ares kid aiming at the unsuspecting Annabeth. I climbed the tree easily and held him from behind. "Annabeth! Run!" I yelled.
She looked towards me and ran. I threw the kid at the ground, and he yelped in pain. I jumped down and cut his arm with my sword. Not enough to kill him, but severe enough to disqualify him. I sprinted off to gods know where, and suddenly felt a sword at my back. "Surrender, or I'll hurt you." Someone said. I crouched and whirled around as fast as I could, and tackled his legs so he fell over. He nicked my arm but I slashed his leg. He got up all the same, and I recognized him as Beckendorf. I kicked him which made him stumble back, but then he threw a knife at my shoulder.
"ARSHH!" I said and tore it out. Then everything paused, and I heard a woman's voice. "My son, use your powers. You were gifted with more than any other child of mine."
Then everything came back to normal. Beckendorf was standing up, and he kicked me to my feet. My shoulder was still bleeding, but I tried to ignore it. He raised his hand and brought down his sword. 'Now or never. ' I thought. Tangle. I said in my mind and when my eyes opened, he was tangled up in woods and vines. "Oh my gods." I said. I imagined my sword and it was at my hand. Imprison I thought. And he was in a cage of wood and vine. I then imagined a tree behind him. I put up my hands and one grew. I picked up the little makeshift prison I made, and threw it against the tree. Beckendorf blacked out. The vines entangled around the tree.
I ran off, and thought to my self, 'What else can I do?'
Forward. I said in my mind, and I was rocketed forward by rockhard dirt that somehow didnt hurt me. I kept doing this until I slammed into someone. This knocked them out cold. I looked up to see the moon. There were some nymphs nearby, watching with amazement.
I noticed that the kid o the ground was Percy. "Oh gods." I thought. I made a small cave out of rock-dirt. I pushed him in and waited for morning.
