I'm back. Please R/R.
The five demigods were in a large field. "Where are we?" Sam looked at her… sister. Alex had changed back into a female. "In a pocket dimension I made for specially this purpose. We can train for as long as we want. Each day that passes here is only an hour in the mortal world."
Alex started them up with some meditation, she knew what it was like to have hated powers. Nico was the one to break his meditating first and was ready, Sam and Annabeth were still in their minds, and she wouldn't push them until they were ready to learn. There was no point in teaching someone who didn't want to.
Alex began with the basics, even though he told her he knew the basics he didn't, not really. "You know the basics of your brand of magic. Not of Norse magic. Viking magic is more potent and much more violent, it's because we have so many warrior Gods and Goddesses. Most of the magic that help them fight is dangerous and could kill." She gave him a shrug as he sighed and did as he was told.
Nico followed the instructions she gave him but it was hard, she was right. Norse magic was extremely hard to control. He got blown into the air multiple times and his powers drained too quickly to hold the magic stable for more than a few seconds, if that.
"Okay, that's it! Nico you keep trying to force it, you can't, it won't work. You have to feel it and bring it out from within. If you don't, then it will just blow up in your face like it has been doing for the past few hours." "Hours?" He tried to move his legs and arms and realized that he was exhausted.
"At least you have the stamina. Most don't when they start training." Magnus walked up to him and gave him some energy, and healed his bruises. Nico and Magnus looked over to Sam and Annabeth and saw them waking up from their meditative state. "Are you two ready?" Alex asked, jumping around. They nod hesitantly.
"Sam since you know how to use some of the magic mom gave you, you need to focus on shifting more fluidly and between different things. Don't go into an animal form and change back to your human form. Try and shift between animals since that is what you are comfortable with." Alex told her sister.
Sam started shape-shifting first from small animals like a rabbit, dog, cat to slightly larger animals as time went on. After a few hours of that she had mastered shifting into small animals Alex started teaching her how to change different parts of her body into different animals so she could fight better.
Alex changed to three different animals. Her legs changed into a cheetah, her torso and arms changed into a snake and her head changed into a bird's. She then conjured a few wolves and other monsters and showed them how she fought with each animal part.
Annabeth, Magnus and Nico were practicing in close-combat. Nico taught Annabeth how to see without actually seeing. Aura training. It was effective for her, she got the upper hand in some of the matches she did with her cousin and Nico. "Impressive, good form but still needs work. You can't always rely on your weapons. You will sometimes need to rely on our magic and other abilities." Alex said when she was finished with the first part of Sam's training.
"Follow me." Was all the Daughter of Loki said to the four other demigods. They were led up a stone path to a large house. "This is where we will stay until we are done with training. Also as I said before, every day here is an hour in the mortal world, so we will age as normal. Once we leave we will look a bit older that includes us, Magnus." She told her boyfriend. "We will age like normal?" "Yes, we will."
Showing them around, the dual haired girl showed them their personalized rooms. "It automatically knows what you would like to have. Think of it like the food that you eat at Camp Half-Blood." They were in awe as they turned around to just stare at this beautifully done house. Magnus cooked for the five of them, he took all of their favorites and had a giant (pun intended) meal planned out.
As the days continued for the five demigods they got stronger and stronger. Sam had finally accepted the fact that this was her power, not Loki's. He would not control her anymore. She had mastered shape-shifting into any and all animals now it was time to start trying to change her appearance, like how Alex does. She started off simple, changing her hair color. Easier said than done. She thought.
Nico had finally stabilized the magic outwardly and was beginning to use it in his fighting. It actually worked well for him. He used both the magic from Loki and Hades together, not giving either magic the grounds to control him or one to overpower the other magic. He used his shadows as a means of transportation and the magic as different weapons and tools.
He was also starting to get the hang of using just Loki's power to help Sam get used to the feel of his magic around her. It worked, she was more confident about it. She now knew that she might be his daughter but that didn't mean he controlled her.
Magnus was training his stamina and his own magic with Alex. Nico was also helping him get adjusted to the other seasons. He could easily replicate winter, they dueled with their respective seasons. Magnus used his summer powers more for offense and his spring powers for defense and healing. He got used to fighting without Jack in his hand, with Jack fighting elsewhere also helped his stamina get better since whenever Jack defeated an enemy alone, he returns to Magnus and he gets the exhaustion of fighting that monster head on.
Annabeth was the hardest to train, at least in terms of raw power and magic. All she had from Loki was the Snake-Charmer ability and she could feed off of the negative emotions of others to use against them. Trap them in their own living hell. What Annabeth had discovered, was that she was Magnus's opposite. He was spring and summer, she was fall and winter. They completed each other. They were more empowered when they were together but also with their respective seasons out and about.
After staying in Alex's pocket dimension for a month they decided that they needed to get back to the mortal world. It had only been a day for them back home but they wanted to see their friends and families. Annabeth got over her aversion to Percy but she still wanted to have Thalia or Magnus with her whenever they were together. Percy understood that and was happy to finally get his girlfriend back. "So, how was training?" He asks the five demigods. "Good, we all improved and got control over all aspects of our powers." Sam told the Son of Poseidon with a smile on her face.
"We still need to train more to figure out how to fight all together. More Alex, Magus and I. Blitz, Hearth and Magus also could use some training together to see how well they can work better together and to fight all together and not rely so much on Hearth's magic, Magnus's healing, or Blitz's clothing/armor." Sam told him. He nods, understanding where she was coming from.
