I woke up this morning feeling completely drained after all that had happened last night. I didn't want to get up because I knew that the news about this was already circulating around camp. I didn't want to see the looks of pity from half of the campers and the smug looks from the other half. At least one good thing will be happening today, Grover would be coming back with a new camper. Grover had left about half way through my leave. I had kept in contact with him over the empathy link. He was the only other one that knew about me getting ready to propose to Annabeth. He had warned me that Annabeth had started to act weird. I didn't think much of it then, but now I knew that I should've been worried. Anyway, Grover had been sent to get a half-blood that been in Alaska. It seemed that her mother had move to Alaska before her godly parent had learned about her, and apparently her mother died when she was five. She recently moves back to the states because of the death of her adoptive parents. It also seemed that she had a strong scent that is why they had sent Grover. After the Giant war he had never failed to bring back a single half-blood. So with that in mind I forced myself out of bed and washed my face, bushed my teeth, and showered. After about thirty minutes I put on my orange Camp Half-blood t-shirt and a pair of jeans and went down for breakfast. Before I got halfway to the mess hall I heard a blood chilling roar in the direction of Thalia's Pine. When I got there I saw three Cyclopes standing in front of Grover and a fallen girl with their backs to me. I drew the water out of the air and froze it into one foot spikes and sent them into the back of the Cyclopes neck, severing their spines, and instantly killing them. I ran to see if they were alright.

"Percy? Percy it's so really good to see you ". Grover said when he saw me. "Thanks for the help. I'm pretty tired I haven't slept in like three days."

"No problem man. So who's the girl?"

"She's the half-blood that I was sent to get. Her name is Dalia Fairchild. She got hit by one of the Cyclops clubs ,let's take her to the infirmary." I picked up the girl bridal style and made my way to the infirmary with Grover dragging behind. She looked rather frail, but I guess that was to be expected of someone who had no previous training going on a twenty day cross-country trip while being chased by monsters. I saw Pollux and asked him to get Chiron to come to the infirmary to see Dalia. When we got to the infirmary Grover collapsed on one of the beds and promptly fell asleep. I sat down next to her and tried to see which god she resembled. She had dark brown shoulder length hair with blue streaks that ended with a bob. She had a shirt that was almost completely black except for some red clouds in the bottom right corner and a pair of plain jeans. Her skin was tan except for a small scar running from her right eye to the corner of her mouth that was slightly paler , but I couldn't see her eyes for obvious reasons. She looked 5'8 or 5'9 a few inches shorter than me. I brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face just as her eyes fluttered open.

"PERVERT!" she screamed right before she punched me. I staggered back a bit. I've been hit harder but damn she hits had.

"Whoa whoa Dalia what's going on?" Grover asked who seems to have woken up.

"This pervert was trying to molest me. That's whats going on here."

"Hey I was not molesting you I was just brushing some hair out of your face." I said rubbing my stinging cheek

"Dalia don't worry this is Percy he's a friend of mine. He wouldn't molest you trust me on that."

"Oh Hehe sorry about that. Here let me fix your cheek." She got up and placed her had over the cheek she punched and I blushed a bit. Her hand gained a faint white glow and I felt the stinging in my cheek go away. To say I was surprised would be an understatement.

"How did you do that?" I asked baffled

"I've always had this power. I store the pain and have to find a compatible metal to push it into. Celestial bronze along with imperial gold are the only metals that hold an unlimited amount of pain. Others hold very little pain. Also when weapons are embedded with pain is inflicts that pain on those it strikes."

"How long can you store the pain."

"It depends on the amount of pain that I store, but on average about three days before it starts to corrode my body and I grow extremely weak."

"Oh here my sword is made of celestial bronze put the pain in it so that I doesn't hurt you." I said as I handed her an uncapped riptide."

"Thank you." She place her hands on riptide's blade and her hands glowed white again. A small horizontal white line appeared on the lower part of the blade. "That shows the amount of times you can inflict pain. The first is one hit the second is two and so on. The color shows the amount of pain is inflicted. It goes from white to blue to orange to red to gray and finally black. Black is an instant kill with only the slightest cut, but takes a nearly fatal wound to achieve that level."

"That's an amazing power." I said while recapping riptide. "You should tell Chiron it when he gets here."

"Tell me what?" Chiron said as he entered the infirmary.

"Dalia's amazing power, but I will let her tell you about it because I think that I should take Grover to get something to eat. I'll bring you something to Dalia." I said as I got Grover and took him to get breakfast. As we arrived nearly turned away because I saw a certain blonde girl that I didn't want to see. I didn't look her way and just sat down at the Poseidon table.
