Chapter 10 Training, friends and family

Percy´s POV next day

I was really comfortable, lying in my bed and hearing the waves on some planets. Annabeth said yesterday she were to tired to do something else on the day which I understand totally, I mean sure we both are gods and shes tired but that´s because she has to get used to her powers that takes time. Dennis and Annabeth worked good together every time a monster was near Annabeth it would be shoot by Dennis. The interesting thing was he wasn´t tired, like his brother.

It was yesterday then his brothers, Alexander, Kevin and Mike fought as a team. They surprised me yesterday, they were the perfect team I would say. Don´t get me wrong I saw my friends fighting before but they improved extremely.

I decided to get up, to meet the soldiers who would be training in the arena, like everyday.

I walked to the Athena cabin waiting for Annabeth. Malcolm told she would be ready in a few minutes so I waited for her.

She came out after 15 minutes, her hair still a little wet.

"Sorry Percy I needed to shower..." she tried to apologize but I cut her off by kissing her on the lips which shut her up immediately.

"Let´s go to the arena okay? I want you to meet some captains of the army" I told her and she nodded happy. She is really happy, since my arrival

We walked into the arena seeing sparring Kevin and Mike, oh man can´t they be normal for one day the life is not a pure fight.

I saw Alexander talking to a girl who seems to be his age, who seem to look happy and uncomfortable at once. Wait I know her she´s a soldier to be exact one of the assassins. Gemma was her name. I remember, all soldiers know she has a big crush on Alexander who feels the same as I know. Like me and Annabeth a few years ago.

I walked to the arena center, I looked around and saw many campers and soldiers exhausted and blacked out lying on the floor Well they are worse than the enemy as I see

"Hey honey" one girl said behind me obvious talking to Kevin I was Natasha I would recognize this voice everywhere like others I knew.

Kevin turned to her, letting his guard down only to be hit by Mikes attack which send Kevin to the ground.

"Never let you guard down, remember?" Mike said in a warm voice which he only showed family and friends. He offered his hand which Kevin took immediately. They walked up to us, and there obviously talking about something.

"Hey sweetheart, how are you doing ?" Kevin asked nicely to his girlfriend. She has blonde hairs and I for a daughter of Aphrodite really kind and loyal to her boyfriend and her charm-speak rivals to Pipers.

"Good and ….." they talked to each other and I turned to face Annabeth who was obviously in a shock state of what happened in the arena. I shook her gently and she regained her self.

"Is that normal?" she asked a little terrified

"Yeah but you must know Alexander, Kevin, Mike and Dennis are the strongest in the army" I explained to her

Mike who was standing by us spoke up.

"I have an idea how would you like a fight against all four of us together?" he asked

Well I defeated them before but I don´t really won´t to destroy camp in order to win.

"Sorry maybe after the war, but you know what happened last time to the arena" I said

"Well, I think your right" Mike said after some minutes thinking which is what he does most of his time thinking

Dennis walked towards us with his friend Camilla. They are best friends since they met.

They can be terrifying in a team battle because once the fought a titan on a other planet and well lets just say the titan has seen better times before his defeat against 10 year old kids. She is really nice and kind but no one knows her better than Dennis.

Alexander walked up to us without Gemma which was usual because she can´t act normal around her crush. Typical Gemma I thought I looked back to see the daughter of Persephone walking to her group. Well if only Hades knew who she is

We talked a little bit longer after we heard the Chiron behind us.

"Hello Percy" he said in his normal voice

"Hi Chiron, how can I help you?" I asked him

"Would your friends and you train the campers?" he asked nicely

"Sure Chiron, they obviously need it" I said pointing to the the campers who were still lying on the ground

I snapped my fingers and all woke up immediately and were a little healed Well at least no one lies on the ground anymore

Chiron looked impressed and nodded to us and walked to the archery-training place .

"Let´s begin training immediately okay?" Kevin asked with a huge grin I fell bad for them he will be the hardest teacher they could get

"We will train them slowly, we can´t force improving" Mike said to Kevin angry because he know of first hand how torturing Kevin could be as teacher, he knows because Kevin taught Mike sword fighting, with me. I trained most of the soldiers and they were are all good trained before.

"We will split up Kevin and I will teach close-combat, Alexander and Dennis will teach archery with Chiron, Annabeth will teach strategy and Mike will teach using powers and spells " I said in my commanding voice, all nodded.

"Hello class, Kevin and I will teach you close-combat" I told them but I was interrupted by John.

"No one is a better swordsman as me, I am the best"John said with pride He has death wishes, Kevin hates arrogant people like him, which Is ironic by the way.

"Well mister be-perfect try to defeat me" Kevin ordered him with a teasing voice That will tick him off

He stand up holding his sword with the false technique. John made immediately his first move and also his first mistake. I tried to to slash at Kevin who easily dodged all blocks.

"Fight you coward or are you to scared?" John shouted to his opponent who was smirking

"As you wish" was his simple answer. Kevin start to attack John with mighty blows and swings who let flew sparks every time the swords touched. John could not deflect all attacks by this speed and strength also by this pathetic technique.

After 10 seconds John was defeated, lying on the floor exhausted of deflecting the blows.

"You all saw what happened try to avoid his mistakes and begin to spar with others" we told the campers.

They trained hard to be honest. And after 2 hours most of the were to exhausted to train any longer this day, so we dismissed the class for today.

Dennis POV next day

Today is archery and most of the campers suck at archery as I see right now. I looked over there Alexander is staying talking to him in silence. Many said they would be the best but we showed them what we consider as good. 29 shoots of 30 as bulls-eyes

Well we trained the hard but fair and after every hour was a 10 minute break.

We trained like 10 hours going to the dinning pavilion.

I was right now sitting on the Chaos table, next to Camilla who was talking to some other girls who looked weird at me. As like I am a freak.

I looked at her she was smiling which was normal for her.

When I turned to my big brother Mike who was sitting next me. He isn´t the popular guy and some guys of the army tried to tease him or to hit him. But they could´t defeat him.

Still he is very cold to people he doesn´t know, which is very sad. He is one of Percy´s closest friends but Percy was like his only true friend.

"What wrong Dennis, why are you sad" Mike asked in his caring, warm voice. By that a few girls looked at him from some other tables.

"N-Nothing" I said not looking into his blue eyes.

"You know no one can´t lie to me , right?" he said to me Which is true he is like a walking lie-detector.

I looked at him and said "You know what I am thinking right? " I said he looked at me and then nodded "Don´t worry it´s not your fault, they hate me I can live with the pranks and I am not jealous of Kevin because the like him" he said to me which was true because he never lied to one of his brother.

"But its not fair" I whispered to him which caused him to smile a little.

"I have my amazing family, which includes Natasha and Percy, so what do I need more?" he whispered back in a warm voice . He to selfless

"What are you doing after dinner?" I asked him, he only shrugged in response.

"Can you teach me some tricks?" I asked him, he nodded and beamed at me. One way to lift his mood his to let him teach you something I learned that trick a few years ago.

Annabeths POV

I was sitting with Percy at the Chaos table as we ate our dinner.

"Percy is it me or do most of the Soldiers hate Mike" I asked him

"I am afraid, yeah they do, they prank him and bully him all the time when I or his brothers are gone, you must know he ins´t popular like his brothers exactly the opposite and he has only two friends me and Natasha, Kevin´s girlfriend" Percy said with sadness in his voice

"Well at least he has two friends" I said hoping to lift his mood

"He had a hard history, and that marked him, he knows then people lie, or if a person is bad or good to say it easy he can read a person like a book" he told me , the answer shocked me hard history

"No one is that good at reading persons" I said to him blinded by my pride

"He talks to you right? Then he thinks you must be good and trustworthy enough" he said which made sense

"What happened to him and his brothers?" I asked interested in his story

"I know for sure but parts of their family, punched and abused the three oldest, luckily Dennis wasn´t born to that time. And the pain changed each other but thats all I know but please don´t tell Dennis he doesn´t know that yet" Percy said to me I only nodded

Poor guys I thought.
