Thalia's point of view on Percy's powers. Set before Percy and Annabeth were together. For some reason the spacing won't work properly? I try time and time again to go back edit it and fix it but it always seems to mess up and it's so annoying. Sorry it's weird like that I'll keep trying but it just won't seem to work properly..

When she first knew him Percy had been no more than an annoyance. Alright, she might not have hated him as much as she let on but she did find him headstrong, stubborn and altogether not very amazing. If she was honest with herself perhaps

some of the reason she'd disliked Percy in the beginning was because of his close friendship with Annabeth. Thalia had always been Annabeths closest ally, her closest friend but when she woke up from.. well from being a tree it was to find Annabetha
very different person. She no longer relied on Thalia for anything, instead she'd found someone else to lean on.

Thalia saw Annabeth as a sister and that's why she noticed how close her and Percy were immediately. It was thesmall things that stood out to Thalia more than the obvious. The way Annabeth would look for Percy in a room, the way she always shifted sothat
she was beside him, the way their hands would brush together when they stood next to each other. Then there was Percy. He looked at Annabeth with such confidence whenever he faced a hard decision, as if whatever she chose to do was the right thing
/without a doubt. Thalia was sure that even if Annabeth made a decision that got Percy killed he would still believe that it was the right choice, just because Annabeth chose it. It was scary for Thalia to see how much they both relied on eachother
but more than that it made her slightly jealous.

Thalia first saw how far Percy would go for Annabeth during a battle with a monster at Camp Half-Blood. Three hellhounds had gotten through the camp defenses somehow and it was up to Percy and Annabeth to get rid of them. Percy took down one of them straightaway
with a slash of Riptide and Annabeth felled another with clever use of her dagger. There was only one left and Thalia thought they had it in hand until in a blink of an eye Annabeth was lying on the ground a meter away. The hellhound had slashedher
with its claws and sent her sprawling where she lay unconscious. Thalia would've run to be with Annabeth straight away but there was still a hellhound and an angry Percy blocking her path.

He stared at Annabeth for a moment before turning back to face the monster with such and intensely angry look in his eye that Thalia felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. His eyes glinted with anger which only made them stand out more on
hisface. His face was scraped and his hair was ruffled but he stood with such a look of power that Thalia thought that it was the most intimidating sight she'd ever seen from a demigod.

"Thalia," he said in a strong voice "go to Annabeth and check if she's alright." Thalia didn't hesitate. She rushed to Annabeth and checked her over. Annabeth's injury was shallow and easily treatable but it was slightly concerning that she was knocked
knew Annabeth and she knew that she had a hard head so she must've taken a hard blowto it for her to be unconscious. She told Percy everything she could see about her condition and she watched as his muscles tensed furiously.

The hellhound snarled and Percy raised Riptide threateningly. "If you wanted a chance of survival you should never have touchedAnnabeth." As Percy got angrier Thalia felt something incredible happen. The ground underneath her began to tremble lightly
whichthen grew to anearthquake, to her left the river began to churn and swirl before lifting from the ground to obey Percy's will. It was a magnificent sight to see power so strong.

Percy looked exactly like his father in that moment. He radiatedpower and strength and as he stood commanding his element it seemed to Thalia as if he was the perfect replica of his father, the earth shaker and commander of the sea. He even had thesame
mischevious gleam in his eye that Poseidon had when feeling the power ofhis element around him, combine that with his dark hair and the colour of hiseyes and you had the exact image.

Percy closed his eyes and drew a deep breath to calm himself. All around the ground stopped shaking and the water fell back into the river. With deadly precision Percy swung Riptide in an arc and killed the monster. For a moment there was silence. Suddenly
Percywas at Thalia's side worriedly fussing over Annabeth and asking her questions. That was when Thalia realised that Percy and Annabeth were more than friends even if they didn't realise it themselves. After having no response from her Percybent
low and scooped Annabeth into his arms protectively. "Are you coming?" Percy asked Thalia gently. As Thalia looked into his strange eyes she made her decision."Not yet," Thalia said quietly. Percy nodded in understanding and began to walktowards
the cabin area of Camp Half-Blood. As Thalia watched Percy leave with Annabeth she realised that she didn't need to worry about Annabeth anymore becauseshe'd found the thing she'd always wanted. Annabeth had found someone who'd never leave her.
