Kalake
Chiron decided to send me and Leo on a mission. The mission was to go and retrieve a demigod. And the interesting thing is that he lived in Alaska, so it would be kind of a long flight.
The guy's name was Peter Atwood. He was 16. A son of Hermes apparently.
Festus landed on the ground and Leo and I got off of him. Leo then turned him on to travel mode, which made Festus shrink into a suitcase.
"Ready?" Leo asked.
I nodded. I was wearing a black coat and black gloves, along with black leggings to cover up my hands and arms. The cold had no affect on me nor did it affect Leo, or at least he didn't show it.
We immediately went to work trying to track down Peter. I took out the address that we were given.
And so, we looked at the houses comparing them.
"Hey!"
I turned and was met with the sight of a 16 year old boy with black hair and green eyes.
"Do you know where Peter Atwood is?" I asked.
The boy looked at me weirdly.
"You're looking at him." He said.
Well, I wasn't expecting it to be that easy.
"Look, I need your help! These giant things are after me!" He shouted.
I looked at Leo.
"Should we get Festus?" I asked.
"No. Let's see what you can do with your new powers." Leo answered.
I nodded.
"Alright." I said.
And then the giant arrived. Thankfully it was one of the ice giants. I quickly took my coat and gloves off, with Peter staring at me weirdly.
Then I transformed. After training for so long, it didn't hurt anymore to transform.
A sword quickly formed in my hand. The hilt was made out of shadows, with a grip made out of ice. The blade itself was a mix between the two.
"Holy Shit!" I heard Peter say before I lifted off of the ground.
The giant stopped in its tracks. I stabbed its arm, not waiting for it to talk to me. The sword was ripped out of my hands as the giant turned, trying to smack me out of the way.
I crossed my arms in front of me, a shield of shadows appearing, breaking the giant's hand on impact. He yelled out in pain, making me smile.
Then, the shield disappeared as I uncrossed my arms. The giant yelled out again when Leo was blasting fire out of his hands at its legs. I smiled.
Then I raised my arm, and my hand and arm became as sharp as a blade, and then I sliced it through the giants neck. I will admit, it was kind of gross when some of his blue colored blood got on me, but it's cool. Once his head was off, he then disintegrated.
I quickly wiped the blood off my arm and my face as my arm returned to normal. Then I landed on the ground, returning to my hybrid state.
I walked over to the pile of dust and pulled my sword out.
"You alright?" Leo asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Your shoulder blades are bleeding again." Leo said.
I sighed.
"We'll get it fixed at camp." I replied.
Then I made a scabbard for my sword. I then sheathed it. That was my first time making a weapon, and I have to admit, I am rather fond of it.
"Who are you people?" Peter asked.
"Chiron will explain everything. Just come with us and we'll take you someplace safe." Leo answered.
I glanced at Peter and saw that he was staring at me.
"Don't worry about her, she won't kill you, unless you get on her bad side." Leo said.
I smirked. That was true. I have gotten very close to killing some Ares and Aphrodite kids.
Then I changed back. The ground seemed to be coming closer. And then a pair of arms caught me. I was leaning against Peter as he helped me stand.
"You okay?" He asked.
I yawned and my eyelids felt heavy.
"We should get going. She's pretty tired." Leo said.
"We can stay at my house for the night. She seems to be hurt." Peter answered.
"Alright." Leo said.
They all sounded so far away. And then everything became black.

I woke up with pain in my back, specifically my shoulder blades.
"Kal?"
I turned on to my side and saw Leo. Wait, this isn't the infirmary.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"At Peter's house. You were too drained to do much and we had to get you fixed up." Leo answered.
"Does he have any painkillers?" I asked, wincing.
Peter came in with a glass of water and some pills. He then handed them to me. Leo helped me sit up as I took the pills, then I took a drink of water.
"That's a little better. Now we should get going." I said.
Leo looked at me. I knew what he was thinking.
"They can help me more there than they can here." I said.
Leo sighed.
"Alright." He said.
"Thank you." I told him.
He nodded.
