Hey guys! I can finally update! Yay! I deleted the last chapter six because that is no longer an issue, so now this is chapter six!
Do you want to know what's sad? The fact that the only reason I am able update is because I am home alone sick. If I had been able to go to school, I would not have updated for probably another week. Go sickness!
Now, I will respond to reviews.
(5)DKogan19: Thanks! I will! I'm not even close to being done yet!
(5)Dusk Odair: well, I hope that's a good thing!
(5)foreverskysong: aw, thanks! That's the way I react when I read yours, too!
(5)Random Person: I'm glad! And thanks! That's not creepy at all! It's just enthusiastic!
(6)foreverskysong: Thank you. It's all taken care of now. Her friends help her through it.
(6)Compliment Giver: Sorry, but it's all good now!
(6)Robo: Thanks!

DISCLAIMER:
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Guess what!
I'm. Not. Rick.
"Come on, Blondie! You can do better than that!"
I glared at chase. "Well, I'm sorry that I haven't been trained because I just got here two hours ago!"
We were in the arena, and Chase was trying to teach me to sword fight. It wasn't working out very well. At first, when he had been teaching me the basics, I was doing fine. It felt like I already knew them all. So, Chase decided to abandon the basics and actually fight me. That didn't go as well. With each fight, my sword was knocked out of my hands in the first thirty seconds.
"Aw, don't get all mad, Blondie! Now, come on! Disarming maneuver! Ten more repetitions!"
I sighed. I knew that Chase wouldn't give up, so I went to pick up my sword again, which had flown over by Percy and Dylan.
Dylan seemed to have gotten the same idea as Chase, considering he and Percy were fighting each other. But, Percy was doing much better than I was. The way he held himself and his sword looked professional. He stood tall, but loose, and he held his sword comfortably, but firmly. The only thing wrong was that his arms sagged. You could tell that the sword wasn't balanced right for him. And that was the reason that Dylan beat him every single time.
"Come on, Blondie! We don't have all day!"
Oh no, I must have been staring. I hurried over to my sword and snatched it up, then ran back to Chase.
"Okay! Get the sword out of my hands!"
I glared at him.
I tried it ten times, but I just couldn't do it. Finally, I had had enough.
"Stop! Chase, I can't fight with this!"
"Well, what else would you use, a knife?" he looked amused at the thought.
"Why not? You use one!"
"Well, I have been training with this knife for years. If I had more time before the quest, I would be glad to teach you knife fighting, but, unfortunately, I don't."
"Aw, come on, Chase! Let the girl fight with a knife."
I looked behind me. Dylan was there, smiling at Chase. "Percy and I are going the main armory to get a more balanced sword for him. You can come, too!"
Chase glared at him. "Alright, fine."
We exited the arena and headed to the big house. I guessed that the main armory was in one of its rooms.
We walked to the very back of the house. Dylan opened the door, and I gasped. The whole room was filled with weapons. There were swords, knives, bows, arrows, spears, and guns. Most of them were the color of Chase's knife, but some were like Dylan's sword. A couple were black. I didn't know what those were.
"Alright, kids! Let's find you some weapons!"
We walked around together. Dylan held up a sword the color of Chase's knife. "This is Celestial Bronze. It is mined by Cyclopes from Mount Olympus, and is cooled in the River Lethe. It's really rare, and more for Greeks. That is why I use Imperial Gold." He picked up a different sword, the color of his. "Imperial Gold is a Roman metal. It was made in ancient Rome. Both my parents are Roman, so I use it."
Chase looked at me. "I'll take you around to find a knife, and Dylan will find Percy a better sword."
We walked around the rows and rows of weapons.
Chase held up an imperial gold knife. "You like this?"
I held it for a moment, then shook my head. "Not Imperial Gold."
"Okay."
We continued searching.
After a couple minutes, we had looked at half the knives, but none of them felt right.
"Man, you are hard to please!" he smirked. "There are some more right-"
I heard a yelp. Chase and I glanced over at each other, then ran over to where Dylan and Percy had been looking.
We found Percy on the ground, and Dylan shaking his shoulders.
"What happened?" Chase asked him.
"We were looking around, and he saw riptide, in pen form, on one of the shelves. He asked me to get it, since it was on one of the higher shelves. While I was getting it, I told him about the history, how Hercules had used it and how Percy Jackson had used it. He asked me why they had used a pen, so I handed it to him and told him to take off the cap. He did, and it turned into a sword. Then, he collapsed."
Chase looked at Percy sadly. "Its fine, this happened in the Zeus cabin, too, when they saw the pictures. Just wait for him to wake up."
We all sat on some chairs and waited. After a couple minutes, Percy stared shaking.
Dylan jumped up. "What's happening to him?"
"Don't worry, this means that he's about to wake up."
And he did. Percy bolted upright, and said, "This is my sword."
Dylan looked surprised. "Percy, we just found this. You uncapped it, and you collapsed-"
"No! This is my sword! Chiron gave it to me! I'm sure!"
Dylan looked skeptical. "Do you want it?"
"Of course! It's mine!"
"Okay."
We stopped talking when we heard Chiron calling our names.
"Aw, Hades!" Chase exclaimed. "It's time to go!"
Yay! Sorry this is sort of short. Please review! They make my day, and I use some happiness right now. I wish I was a bit less sick, but still sick enough to stay home from school.
