3rd Titan war

Chapter 6: Proposing a Fight

Percy's Point of View

It was lunch time at camp when we arrived. We teleported into the center of the dining pavilion. Most of the campers stared in shock at seeing the big three Gods. Chiron quickly trotted over bowed and said, "Welcome. What brings you all to Camp Half-Blood?"

Lord Zeus stepped forward and told all present, "We have come to bring Calypso, Perseus, and his cousins Phoenix and Jason. Jason is my son and Phoenix is a son of Hades." At his words, gasps went through the crowd. My father then said, "Well we have important thing to be doing so we must be going." At his words he teleported back to Olympus with Zeus and Hades. Chiron then turned to me and asked, "Is what they say true?"

"Yes Chiron. This is Calypso, Jason, and Phoenix." I pointed to each of them as I said their names. "I will go and show them where they will be staying while they stay at camp." With that, the four of us turned around and walked towards the cabins. I showed Jason and Phoenix where their cabins were and told them to meet me at the sword arena for sword practice after they were settled in. I began walking Calypso to the Big House when I noticed that she looked like she was in some kind of trance. "Calypso, are you ok?"

"I'm fine. It's just it has been so long since I have left my island. It's a little overwhelming." I just chuckled and told her, "Well, come on and I will show you where you will be staying. Sword practice is in 30 minutes if you want to come."

We had arrived at the Big House. "I think I will just explore some."

"Ok, see you at dinner."

I walked over to the arena to practice and I saw that Jason and Phoenix had beaten me there.

"Hey Perseus," Phoenix called.

"Hey guys."

"So, when is this class you teach? The one with the Titan War survivors," Jason asked me.

"It is about 30 minutes after they finish eating lunch, which should be about now. Though, something tells me that some of them will show up early. Let's practice."

We had been practicing for about 20 minutes without using our powers when Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth walked over and sat down in the stands. We stopped fighting and turned to look at them. I stepped forward and said, "Practice doesn't start for another 10 minutes."

Annabeth stood to speak for them, "Percy…"

I cut her off, "You will address me as Perseus." I wish people would get that straight.

"Perseus then. We just wanted to meet your cousins."

Phoenix stepped forward, "Well, my name is Phoenix, son of Hades. I believe that you are my brother," he pointed to Nico. "Father speaks of you often is nice to meet a sibling of mine that is not dead."

Then Jason stepped forward, "I am Jason, son of Zeus. You are my sister Thalia, correct?"

"Yes, that is me."

"Well it is nice to meet you."

Annabeth took charge again with a look of confusion on her face, which is rare for any child of Athena. "How do you know who any of us are? And how have I not ever seen you on Olympus wile I am there working on the buildings?"

Jason spoke first, "Just because we live on Olympus doesn't mean we are oblivious to all that is going on. You were all saviors of Olympus and have been on many quests. Plus we have been living with Perseus here for the past 3 years, and despite his willingness to talk about it, he has told us about his life at camp and quests that he has been on. And Olympus is a big place. It was easy to avoid you."

Thalia spoke, "Well, it seems to me that the Gods weren't very good at keeping their oath."

I spoke again to change the topic, "Since you all came early, you may as well get in some practice."

We practiced until Jason, Phoenix, and I had defeated them twice. By then the rest of the campers in the class had showed up by then. "Ok class, Phoenix and Jason will be helping me to train you. So, follow their orders just as you would follow mine. Pair off into groups. Preferably someone you are not used to fighting so you will know less of what to expect."

"Wait sir." I quickly turned to look at the person who had spoken. It was Clarisse.

"Yes Clarisse, what is it."

"Since your cousins are here will you fight each other so that we can see what it is we are supposed to be doing?"

"Do you want us to fight one on one or all three at once?"

"All three at once. We haven't practiced that yet."

I looked to Phoenix and Jason. They nodded their heads in agreement. Phoenix asked, "With or without minimal use of powers?"

Jason replied, "It could be a bit dangerous, but it is always good to get in some practice. If one of us feels like we are losing control then we can call a truce."

I nodded my head in agreement. "Ok, but let's go to a different spot. I don't want to destroy the training area. Chiron would probably make us repair it. Does anyone have any suggestions that wouldn't give one of us too much of an advantage and no one will be devastated if we destroy it?" I turned to the students now, and noticed that Chiron had walked up. "Chiron, do you have any suggestions?"

"You could go to the top of the cliff at the edge of camp. It is high up, it has a stream running through it, and many large boulders and trees providing shade."

"That sounds excellent. Let's go."
