You darlings have fun. DFTBA!

Isa and I were searching for Chloe. Isa was pretty friendly to me although she was doubtful about my choice of weapon. Turns out she can also fight with a sword. Apparently it was what everyone needed to learn.

"You could take a sword you know."

"It's ok. I have a flail now." I said, waving my flail under her nose.

Isa held my flail wielding hand and pushed it away from her face. "But swords are cool! It's great to fight with a sword."

"Isa, I couldn't sword fight with my baby cousin. I'll probably amputate my own hand."

"But still, a flail? Of all the weapons you could have picked?"

"Sugilite uses a flail except hers is more like two fists instead of a blade."

Isa turned to me, a frown on her face, thoroughly puzzled. "Who is this Sugilite?"

I shook my head and waved my hand around to spare her the huge Steven Universe explaination about Garnet, Amethyst and fusions.

We continued walking until Isa broke the silence abruptly.

"Sorry, what was your name? I forgot."

"It's Purnima. Just call me Purni."

"Wait, your name is Pruney?"

Cue the facepalm.

"It's Purni."

"Poorani".

"No no, Pooorrnneee."

"Burni".

"You know what? Call me Purnima."

"Purnama." She smiled proudly as though she had got it correct. Why do I have such a complicated name which every non Indian simply loves to mispronounce? It was almost like they were doing it on purpose.

Wait a minute.

I crossed my arms against my chest. "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Isa feigned innocence and dramatically placed her hand on her heart. "Why would I do that?"

I groaned. This girl was crazy, scary and fricking annoying.

Isa laughed loudly. Her laughter rolled through the walls, killing any trace of the silence that might have been there. A person peeked out of one of the doors and after seeing us, shrugged their shoulders and went back.

When she had finished laughing, she turned to me, smirking like the devil. "You know, Pruney is not such a bad name..."

Oh no. No way. No na nope. "If you call me that, I will chop your brain into a million pieces and salt them like salami. I mean it."

Isa raised her hands in surrender. "Whatever you say... Pruney."

We found Chloe in the library with another empousai. She didn't notice me as she was busy talking to the other girl. I stealthily went behind her and tapped her on her right shoulder. When she turned towards the right, I moved to her left and yelled into her ear.

" CHLOE!"

She turned around so fast it's a surprise she didn't get whiplash. When she saw it was me, she let out a string of Greek curses, not as in Abracadabra curses, more like # ₹$&)/!?*% kind of curses, you know what I mean.

Isa shut my ears a bit too late. That's it. My ears are never ever going to heal. Kriti always used to scold me even for saying the word idiot. If she were here, she would have grabbed Chloe by the ear and made her write 'I will be a good girl and will not swear.' a million times. What was even more crazy was that I somehow understood the curses, even if they were completely Greek. Oh boy, I definitely need Harpic.

"Chloe no cursing in front of the baby!" Isa scolded.

I huffed. "I'm not a baby."

"Experience-wise you are."

Chloe interrupted our bickering and glared at me. Uh oh. Please don't burst into flames, please don't burst into flames, PLEASE don't burst into flames!

"Who yells into another person's ear while they are talking?"

I mentally let out a sigh of relief. No grilled Purni today.

"Me apparently."

The other empousai snickered. She was enjoying herself.

I took out my brand new weapon and showed it to Chloe. "I got my own weapon! Isn't it cool?"

Chloe gave me a steely glare and crossed her arms. "This is why you hollered in my ear? To show that you got a new knife?"

I grinned widely. "It's not just a knife. Check this out."

I pressed the button with flourish and the blade popped out and landed on the floor, nearly impaling my foot.

Chloe cautiously prodded at the blade with her converse as though she expected it to start floating in the air and start singing. She turned to me.

"It's a decent weapon. But." She pressed the button and the blade popped back to the handle. "You have to learn how to fight with a sword."

Isa looked smug. "Told you."

"Do I get to keep the sword?" I asked. I couldn't take care of two weapons. Plus swords, though they look cool and would be awesome to show off to your classmates, are super scary and deadly.

"If we allowed every recruit to keep the sword they used for practice, well, then we wouldn't have any left. So no Sweety. You only use them for practice. You don't take them away." The other empousai had finally stopped snickering and started talking. I recognised her from the dining hall. It was Tammi.

"Oh Ok. Cool. I would suck at swordfighting anyway." I shrugged.

Chloe was talking very seriously with Tammi. Both of them looked worried while Tammi also looked nervous. She kept playing with her long hair while Chloe talked to her.

"You know, I could ask Kelli. You don't have to go. What if something happens to you?"

Tammi smiled. "It's OK Chloe. I've been training for events like these for a long time! All I need to do is go to the school, do a cartwheel and some handsprings and catch Percy Jackson! There is no need to worry."

Chloe looked unconvinced by her answer. I didn't know what was going on so I decided that I would ask Chloe about it when she was free.

Tammi hugged Chloe and left the library. Isa went up to Chloe and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Is there anything wrong?" She asked, concerned. It reminded me of dad. He could sometimes read my face and know that some thing was wrong. I didn't want to make him sad so I always pretended that I was OK. Pretended that I completed my homework. Pretended that I had friends at school. Pretended that I didn't use pencil sharpener blades to... Sorry, got sidetracked. Stupid ADHD. He always wanted me to be the best at everything and I always tried, only to fail miserably at every turn. He worked super hard for me and Kriti. I just wanted him to be happy.

Chloe looked worried when she spoke. " Tammi and Kelli are going to Goode High school tomorrow. We got information that Percy Jackson is going there. They will take care of him so that he won't be a threat to us and our cause."

Isa tried to act cheerful. "Well that's great! She always wanted to go on a mission like this. I'm sure that she'll take care of Jerkson with no trouble. Plus, she has Kelli with her! What could go wrong?"

Chloe looked at her witha look that meant ' Don't you get it?' "Percy Jackson is one of the most powerful demigods on the planet! He took down the Nemean lion last year! Remember?"

"Wait, he took down the Nemean lion? What is he? Hercules?"I exclaimed. Woah this Percy Jackson person was seriously awesome.

"No, he is way more powerful. Tammi might get hurt. She might even have to reform at Tartarus!" Chloe looked worried. She kept rocking on the balls of her feet. I read somewhere that if a person is rocking on the balls of their feet, it means that they are really worried about some thing. Her Metal leg made muffled clanks against the carpeted floor. She fidgeted with the hem of her t-shirt.

"Listen, why don't you go and get some sleep? In fact, it's getting kinda late. You have to go to bed now.", said Isa. Chloe nodded and walked out of the library. Isa put her hands on her hips and shook her head. "That girl is going to worry herself to Tartarus some day." She turned to me. " In fact, you should get some sleep too. You have a lot of training to do tomorrow."

We started walking back to our rooms. "What am I going to learn tomorrow?"

"Well, you will learn how to wield a sword. I'll try to find someone who can teach you how to use the flail. You will also have Greek lessons. I will also do some tests to find out who is your godly mother."

"Do I need to give a blood sample or something?" I asked.

"That won't be necessary. Gods don't have DNA. So there is absolutely no point in taking your blood sample."

I got confused. "Then how are you going to find out who my mom is?"

"Well they may or may not work, but most demigods have powers. For example, I have super strength. I lifted a 75kg weight when I was 9. Chlidren of Triptolemus and Demeter can control plants. These powers often surface when the demigod is in a life threatening situation. So tomorrow, we are going to find out ar atleast guess who your mom is."

I laughed nervously. "You're not actually going to put me in a life threatening situation,...are you?

Isa didn't say anything. She just walked straight ahead.

Hey guys. So I put up a poll about who should be Purnima's mom. I had originally decided on one goddess but later I got some ideas and I don't know who to pick. Now it is up to you to pick Purnima's mother. The poll is up on my profile. So go up there and start voting!
