I do not own PJO. :( I just want to add I'm purposefully keeping her parents from you because the last time I checked my poll was at a tie, so you can vote and when I get a more certain answer I'll put it in the story and the goddess isn't real I made her up, I repeat there is no goddess named Atalantis.
Last time:"Aren't we sword fighting, Perseus?"
"I guess we are."
"One second, I need my sword." I walked off towards the forest.
As I walked towards the forest I felt the weight of my decision coming down on me, everyone would wonder were I got my sword and if one of the gods heard about it now or saw it, I would face the punishment of running away or I would be accused of stealing the precious sword from myself. Oh well, kinda late now.
I found a clearing in the woods and knelt down in the middle of it.
"Strength."
"Courage."
"Wisdom."
"Sword."
My sword came spiralling down from the clear blue and landed straight up in the ground in front of me with a belt and sheath attached to the hilt.
I picked it up, it was light but only to me, no other human, demigod, or god could lift it, designed especially for me by Hephaestus, I have to give credit where it's due he did an awesome job, just magnificent.
It was centennial bronze, of course, but the bronze was coloured silver with diamonds studded into the middle of the sword, one for every inch of the total 28 inches, and the hilt was crafted completely by rubies and emeralds of different sizes made into a mosaic pattern.
I put the belt and sheath on my hips and slipped the sword in. I got up and made my way out of the clearing to the training area where everyone was waiting and looking at me curiously and cautiously, then their eyes landed on my sword, I heard a few gasps, but mostly everyone was silent and speechless.
I took a chance and risked a glance at Dionysus, he looked, as usual, bored but there was a bit of astonishment in his eyes and a hit of recognition when he spotted my sword. Damn! I was going to have to come up with an excuse for that.
I stepped up to Perseus who had his mouth agape, eyes pointed to my sword. I sighed with impatience and my fury started to reign through. I stood tall glaring down at Perseus, "Well, are we going to fight or did a bug fly into your mouth?" I demanded.
I saw his adam's apple bob up and down. "Okay." He croaked out in fear.
Okay, so that was a little mean. I put on my sweetest smile. "Unless you're not ready? We could wait until tomorrow, just for a little more time that's all, not because you're scared."
"Umm, I don't know."
"Ah, come on. I wouldn't be too upset, plus you'll give me more time to practice and make sure I'm good enough to face you." Yeah, right. "So what do you say?"
"Umm, sure, we'll stop." He said slowly. "But just for you." He added quickly.
Everybody cleared out of the arena.
"Can you tell me where you got that sword?"
"No." I said, smiling. I unsheathed the blade and had him pinned down in less then a second, the tip of blade at his neck. "I wouldn't push it, Perseus."
"Alright." He croaked.
I pulled back my sword and grabbed Perseus's hand. I pulled him up.
"Goodnight." He said, walking away.
"Night."
As soon as he left I started to lunge and parry to no one.
"Hello, Ally." Someone said from the darkness. "Or should I say Atalantis?"
I turned around and standing there was Dionysus.
"How have you been the past millennium?" He said.
Play it cool. "Fine." I said.
"Wouldn't 'Daddy' want to know where you are?"
"Can't see as it would matter."
"Ah, but I could, and I could see getting out of this dump for that information, you, and your sword."
"You never were very positive, were you?"
"Nah, it not my thing ,Zeus would have a stroke, granted he can't die and he's part of the reason I'm here, still, not worth the effort."
"Too bad."
"I suppose. Now," He said, flicking out a cell phone. "Should I tell 'Daddy' or not?"
