Oh gods! It's been a long time on this one! And I finally found how to deal with my block so here it goes!
Hmmmm... Nothing else to say so reviews! And I'll answer to the pertinant or funny ones since there is a lot of them. Sorry.
Djberneman: ... I'm bad at finding names! And it allows me to remember hers easily!
Pontus: Thanks for the explanations! I'll use it wisely! Yeah, it changes to see a nice Triton from time to time :)
The Bamboo Book: Thanks, I got that from fencing and I also practiced swordsmanship for a bit so it helps. And you flatter me :) I'm also sorry for the wait
Solangelover: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. And thanks for your PM too! :)
TheFallenAce15: Aha, thanks! I'm glad you like my style. And I don't really like Annabeth either, but this time, she won't be bashed like in the others.
finalfantasyjoey: Nope, Rule number one: Percy CAN'T shoot with a bow, the fates denied it. That's just impossible! XD Remeber that he had to pray BOTH Archer twins to manage ONE successful shot at five meters in the labyrinth XD
So, I read all the reviews, and I thank you all for your support, now enjoy :)
"Yes it is. You are insulting my sisters, huntresses of Artemis. Accusing them of breaking their oath. I dare you, goddess, to try that again. Just one more time." His red eyes glowed and out of seemingly nowhere, his pack circled the trio.
"As for who I am, I'm Perseus, adopted son of Apollo, son of Poseidon, Alpha of the Hunt's pack." The goddess glared at him and waved her hand. Pure energy smashed him away. He rolled back on his feet and finished his trajectory drifting on the ground. He growled deeply. In answer, his pack growled too, their green and blue eyes shining.
Artemis took a step forward and said only one thing.
"Stop this." Everyone stopped and for the first time, Tritonis seemed afraid.
"Lady Artemis?" But Percy growled again.
"Aunt Artemis. I won't allow such disrespect to the Hunt. Let me kill her." Asked the demigod in a snarl. Everyone looked at him. He had a bestial and scary stance, especially for a boy of his age. Artemis raised her hand in front of his face.
"Stop this. Control yourself Perseus. This is your inner wolf speaking." Percy breathed slowly and calmed himself. His pack relaxed a bit but the growls were still here. Percy walked to the goddess.
"Lady Tritonis. It is an honor. Please excuse my previous attitude. As a brother of the Hunt, I couldn't let this offence pass. My name is Perseus. Your young brother in law." Said Percy as he bowed slightly. Tritonis raised an eyebrow at the politeness of the demigod.
"Pleasure shared young Perseus. So you are in good terms with my husband? How surprising." Said the sea goddess.
"Indeed Milady, I too was surprised, but I don't complain. As for your husband, please forgive him. He was here to spar with me to help me with the lost of one of my betas. If it pleases you, I could still beat the crap out of him for forgetting about his beautiful wife." Answered Percy. Tritonis smiled.
"Aren't you a charmer, I can see the influence of both Poseidon and Apollo in you. You will do wonders once older." Teased the goddess. Artemis frowned.
"I won't allow my nephew to become a player. Understood?" Asked the goddess as she glared at Percy. Said demigod laughed.
"Of course Aunty. Any woman should be treated like a Queen. Those speaking skills are only useful to escape the wrath of a god or to trick a monster. Eventually to gather information." Answered Percy in a carefree. He then stopped himself, looking at the sky.
"Speaking of avoided wrath, I need to go to this camp. Great… I nearly forgot. So, I'll go there for two months okay Aunty? And after that, I'll do my usual personal hunt." Stated the hunter.
Tritonis frowned.
"You never went to Camp Half-Blood? Hum. I can't allow my brother in law going there in so remarkable and unfashionable clothes." Triton's eyes widened and he faced Percy in a hurry.
"Flee. Go away Bro. It is for your good. Trust me." Percy was shocked. The tanned skin of Triton was nearly white, his eyes wider than ever. He was terrified.
"Wh-why?"
"Because, once she go in there, she is nearly as bad as Aphrodite… Too late." As he said that, Tritonis put a hand on Percy's shoulder.
The hunter tried to escape the goddess, but her iron-like grip couldn't be stopped. He resigned and sat on the sandy ground.
Tritonis smiled and faced the huntresses.
"Which of you want to help me restyle this young man?" Asked the Sea goddess with a joyous smile which appeared like a demonic one to the young hunter. Instantly, Zoë, Alyssa and Phoebe took a step forward. Percy groaned.
"Of course you would! You love torturing me! I'm great in my current attire! What's wrong with it? It's practical, resistent. I don't see what's wrong." Complained the son of Apollo.
But his complaints were useless. The three began to discuss as the deity summoned a large dressing room out of nowhere. Then, they turned to him.
"So Percy. What colors would you like to wear?" Asked Tritonis as she took out a notepad. Percy first grumbled but then thought seriously.
"Hmmmm… Black. And silver." Tritonis nodded.
"And do you have a distinctive symbol you would like?" Asked Phoebe as she began to look in the different clothes. Percy took a thoughtful expression.
Let's think. I'm in the Hunt. But I'm Apollo's son before anything… hmmm. I have it! Percy grinned widely.
"A silver sun! I shows my parentage from Apollo and my belonging to the hunt." Tritonis nodded approvingly.
"Yes. It is a very good choice. Okay. I think I got what we need." She walked in the room and began to search with the help of the three huntresses. While Percy decided to train a bit in knife throwing.
He stopped when the goddess walled him in. She gave him a bag and pushed him in a changing room.
And five minutes later, Percy walked out of it and the dressing room to be shown to the rest of the Hunt plus Triton. All gaped at him. Artemis called Apollo who flashed in immediately, and he showed a bright and smug smile.
"My son is so badass." Said the god as he nodded.
Percy had black metal reinforced security boots. His pants had a strange camo pattern, consisting of black silver and white rectangles, with a majority of black and silver. A black tee with a large silver sun on it. On each forearm was a black vambrace with a titanium metal plate on it. His throwing knives belt was now on his waist and Lightbringer was still on his back, a magic seal keeping it in place.
In each shoe, he had his daggers, and in his vambraces, his silver hunting knives. They also noticed that the hunter also had a black wireless headphones with the same silver symbol on each side.
"It's… Strange. Those shoes are strange, not bad, but different." Commented Percy has he moved a bit to test if he was comfy in his new clothes. Zoë smiled.
"Well. Perce you really are badass like that! Try not to make all the girls swoon when you go to that camp." Commented the lieutenant. The rest of the hunt nodded and Artemis frowned. Percy noticed it and walked to her.
"Is something wrong milady?" Asked the hunter. Artemis then smiled.
"You miss one single thing. A circlet." Percy took a step back and shook his head.
"Nope. Not even in you dreams." Answered immediately Percy. Zoë tried to grab him but he leaned back and jumped next to Triton.
"Brother. Help me." But the god smirked.
"I can't intervene in mortal business, Ancient Laws you know." Percy narrowed his eyes.
"Traitor, you like them when it helps you right." Muttered the demigod. But he stopped as he felt something on his head. He sighed and looked at his mistress.
"You flashed it on my head right?" The goddess nodded. "And I can't take it off right?" Artemis nodded again.
"Alright I get it! I'll wear this circlet!" Shouted the exasperated young hunter. To be more precise, it was a silver headband, large, with carvings of wolves in it.
Then, Percy took a deep breath.
"Alright, time for me to go." He turned to his pack. His eyes shone.
"Stay with them. Protect them. I don't want any casualties while I'm gone. From both sides." Ordered the demigod. He then faced his father.
"Yo sunshine. Think you could flash me not to far away?" Apollo grinned.
"Better, I'll give you a lift." His chariot began to descent from the sky and landed near them, everyone, apart from the gods, covered their eyes. And then, Apollo took the driver sit.
"Hop in champion, I'll drop you a few miles away." Percy jumped in the mazerati and they took off, Percy admiring the landscape and the view.
"Whoa! That's so cool Dad!" Exclaimed the young hunter. Apollo smirked and ruffled his son's hair.
"Thanks. When you're a bit older, Ill let you drive." Percy's eyes widened and he nodded fast.
"Thank you Dad!"
The rest of the trip went fast. Which was to be expected since they were in a godly car.
Apollo disabled the sun property of the car and went lower, and when at a few meters above the ground. Percy made a military salute with two fingers and jumped above the car door. Apollo chuckled at his son's antics and took off again.
Percy was walking to the camp peacefully. Well, if he had to be honest, he was nervous.
They told me to reveal my status, but how will they react? Thought the hunter. He knew from Artemis that demigods had a tendency to be jealous about the treatment they received when they were young. And even more if the demigod was claimed.
Well, can't do anything about it. Shrugged the demigod. He then heard the familiar sound of a battle. He swore, took out Lightbringer and ran to the origin of the sounds.
When he arrived, he saw two demigods fighting an army of Hellhounds. He began to growl, deeply, memories of his fallen beta coming back in his mind.
He ran to them, deploying his spear and began to slash the first one, he spun and destroyed another. He stomped the ground, sending everyone on the ground, monsters and demigods alike, with an earthquake. And he resumed his attacks, destroying monsters one by one. Leaning back and forth, squatting and jumping to avoid the lethal teeth and claws.
When he finished the last one, his pain faded away, the revenge calming his need for blood, or more exactly monster essence.
The duo looked at him with awe. It was two brothers, nearly twins, with brown hair and mischievous brown eyes.
Hermes, without a doubt. He put back Lightbringer and extended his arms to the two.
"Yo! You're alright?" The two nodded and took his hand to stand up.
"I'm Travis, and this is my brother Connor. You are?" Percy smiled.
"I'm Percy. Searching for the camp?" The two nodded. "Me too, apparently, it's that way, let's go." The two nodded and followed the hunter.
When they arrived, they saw a sign with written in Greek.
"Camp Half-Blood" Percy smiled, amused.
"Well, it seems we arrived." They walked in and saw a hill with, on top of it, a pine tree, Percy suddenly felt uneasy.
Why am I sad? Poundered the son of Apollo. He decided to shrug it off and they resumed their walk. Once at the top of the hill, the had a view of the whole camp. Percy and the brothers whistled.
"That's cool!" Exclaimed Travis. Connor nodded and Percy followed.
"I have to admit it seems cool."
They continued to walk and soon, they were hailed by a young camper.
"Hey! You're new?" Percy nodded. "You see that large blue building?" Asked the boy as he pointed at the said cabin.
"Yeah."
"Then go over there and speak to Chiron, he'll explain everything to you." The trio nodded and ran to there. They knocked and after being invited in, the saw two man, one large one and another in a wheelchair, laying a card game.
"Excuse me. We are new here and we were told to speak to Chiron. The man in the wheelchair faced them.
"Hello my boys. I'm Chiron. Take a seat would you. Mister D. I'm sorry but our game will have to wait for a bit. So, tell me what you know of you situation boys. Travis began.
"Our mother told us we were… special. Yeah, that's what she said. And that we had to come here for our safety, that it was the only place sure for us." Chiron nodded and then faced Percy.
"And you young one, what were you told?" Asked the Trainer of heroes. Percy narrowed his eyes. He already guessed he was the original centaur.
"I know everything. From who you are to what we really are, passing by the real nature of your game partner." Answered the demigod. Chiron looked shocked.
"Well… I guess it makes things easier. Boys, come with me, I have to show you an introduction film. It will be easier than to explain it." He took gestured to the boys to go in a room and when the door closed Percy tuned to mister D and bowed.
"It is an honor to see you Lord Dionysus, I am sorry for my lack of politeness a bit earlier but I didn't want to shock the two sons of Hermes. May I ask why an Olympian god is in Camp Half-Blood?" Said Percy. Dionysus raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Apology accepted demigod, now tell me who you are, I have a feeling I saw you somewhere. As for why I am here, Zeus punished me after going after a nymph he had his eyes on." Answered the god in a bored tone. Percy chuckled.
"I am Perseus my Lord. Alpha of the Hunt's pack. I was on Olympus a year ago. And Grampa should take care of his queen instead of eyeing a nymph." Thunder boomed and Percy laughed.
"You know I'm right Grampa! Think back of what Hera did to you when she found out about Thalia!" The thunder stopped immediately. Dionysus chuckled.
"I like you Perseus. Now we should wait for the old horse. Say, do you play pinochle?" Asked the god. Percy smiled apologetically.
"Sorry my Lord, Dad only taught me how to play poker and blackjack, and Aunty taught me Chess, Shogi and Senet." Dionysus shrugged and flashed in a Chess set.
"Let's play chess then." the two began to play together. After twenty minutes, Percy looked at Dionysus.
"My Lord. What is this?" Asked the hunter as he pointed at a Coke can. the god made wide eyes.
"You don't know Coke?" Percy narrowed his eyes.
"My first memory is waking up in the forest. And I lived in the forest ever since." The god summoned another can and gave it to the demigod.
"You can't just not know about Coke." Stated Dionysus. Percy took a sip and then, made a wide grin.
"Oh my gods! That's so good!" Exclaimed the hunter. Dionysus nodded seriously. And the party resumed. After a while, the door opened and the brothers and Chiron walked out while Percy moved his queen.
"Checkmate." Stated the Hunter. Dionsus looked panicked.
"No! Wait a minute! No no no no no no. I'm sure there is a way out! Just give me a second…. It's checkmate." Slumped the god. Percy made a wide grin.
"I was taught by my Aunt, and I'm the Alpha of a wolf pack, of course I'm good at strategy." Stated Percy. Dionysus sniffed.
"I'll beat you next time!" Exclaimed the god. And Percy laughed.
"Challenge accepted. Oh! Chiron! You're here! So? How did they took it?" Asked Percy as he finished his Coke.
"Rather well if you compare to some Athena's children." Smiled the centaur. Percy laughed.
"I bet! Those one should really be careful with their pride!" He got up and walked to Connor and Travis.
"Alright guys. I think Chiron want to give us a visit. So let's go." Smiled the son of Apollo.
After a large tour of the camp, Chiron dropped them off at the Hermes cabin.
"This is where you will stay until you are claimed by you parent. but for the moment, it's time for lunch, so come with me boys." the trio nodded and Percy smiled when he saw Travis pick-pocketing a girl with green eyes and auburn hair.
They arrived at the mess hall in last. Chiron walked to the main table and spoke up.
"Demigods! I would like to introduce you Perseus. As well as Travis and Connor Stolls! Welcome them warmly please." Then, everyone sat and Percy frowned as he saw everyone wishing food and it appeared. He sighed in disappointment, judging this too easy but summoned food too, not wanting to stand out.
He sacrificed a part his aunt, another for his dad and a last one for Triton and Tritonis." They ate peacefully and after that, the Hermes cabin walked to the arena.
They began to spar, everyone having their habits, The Stolls decided to spar together, leaving Percy alone. Not that he minded.
He tried to approach a known face, he saw, in the present demigods, Annabeth. He walked to her and proposed her to spar but the girl only ignored him and went for Luke. Making him sigh.
She still have to work on her attitude. Thought Percy.
Suddenly, a hand tried to grab him from behind. He jumped forward, rolled and faced the threat. It was a large girl, with dark brown hair a red eyes, but not like his, he had deep, shining ruby eyes while she had some dirty reddish irises.
Ares. Thought the hunter.
"So you have so reflex punk. But it won't be enough. Every newbie has to do the initiation." Sneered the buff girl. Percy frowned.
Initiation? I see. She is a bully. An Alpha don't do initiations. Thought Percy angrily. He took a bestial stance and growled. His growl was deep, dangerous, fearsome. One of the guys with her took a step back. Everyone in the arena had stopped. The entire Hermes cabin as well as the present Athena cabin.
The Ares girl chuckled.
"You think a simple growl could scare me? Clarisse? The favorite daughter of Ares? Guys. Grab him." In a flash, two big, strong Ares sons grabbed an arm each. Percy growled harder, his ruby eyes shone and his anger activated his Alpha strength. He made the two boys to collide in each other before he began to walk to Clarisse. The daughter of Ares snarled.
"Oh you asked for it newbie." She took out a spear which the tip was crackling with electricity. Percy smiled. He reached to his back and took out Lightbringer. The spear expanded before the amazed eyes of the present people.
"I know your name, you are Clarisse, daughter of Ares. Mine is Perseus, son of Apollo." He pushed on his legs and rushed for the adversary. He made an horizontal slash but the other spear blocked it. Percy made a feral smile.
"I think you can be a little interesting." He spun and kicked Clarisse away, making her crash in a wall.
"Or not." The daughter of war stood up and glared at him.
"Oh punk you're pissing me off. Now I'll be serious." Percy had a laid back stance. His spear in one hand, the harmful edge touching the ground. Clarisse ran for him and tried a piercing attack. But the son of Apollo just spun slightly, making the weapon pass just between his left arm and his body. And in a flash, he grabbed the wooden part. Clarisse tried to pull back but the weapon didn't moved an inch.
"I guess I overestimated you. Your skill is only due to your blood, not practice. You're not strong enough." He then broke the weapon with a simple spinning of Lightbringer. "You are too slow." He ran behind her in a blur.
"An you are too confident." He kicked her as hard as he could. sending her to the ground. He put the blade of his weapon on her throat when she rolled on her back. The edge of the triangular blade was shinning gold, answering the angriness of its master.
"Next time. Make sure you pick out someone of your caliber." Growled the demigod. Everyone was shocked. The newbie pulled out a magnificent spear, and kicked Clarisse's ass in a minute, without forcing. Then, they gasped. Two signs began to glow above him.
A big one and a small one. The first was a golden sun, and the small one was a crescent moon.
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Perseus, son of Apollo, Alpha of the Hunt's pack." Everyone was shocked, even Clarisse seemed way less interested in picking up a fight with him. Then, Annabeth walked to him.
"Perseus was it?" Percy nodded, glaring at her with his deep ruby eyes. "You're in my team for the next capture the flag." Percy didn't answer for a while and then.
"In which name are you commanding me?"
