Hello to all who read this...
So, I kinda got the memo that last chapter was a bit confusing. And hectic. And all over the place. I got the memo that I might explaining stuff. Each point will be in bold with explanation underneath.
Magic and Rituals:
Okay, so there is a reason Percilia is efficient in it. It will be explained later in the story. In that part, I just wanted to give a little push in showing her magically adept side. Like I said before in an A/N, she is powerful and not afraid to show it. She is overly physically capable for her age. It will also be explained later, as will her being a Siren. She has lots of magic-related 'trophies'- as she likes to call them. The ritual this chapter was for binding Riptide to her by blood. One hell of a bond. She also has future plans for her other weapons, as she discussed with Marlowe.
Her mind walls are also very important. My body, My min, My rules. The barriers are as strong as she believe but if a powerful someone tries to, they can break them, shattering her mind in the process( maybe not that dramatic, but still not good.) Not good. So make them stronger girl, and keep pouring that magic into them!
The her keying herself into the Camp's boundary wards is very important. She'll know when Camp is under attack and when someone means the place or its inhabitants nothing good. She'll be alerted. It also strengthens the mind connection with Thalia, and Thalia and Hazel are the ones with the most time on their hands, they will be building the connection. Perci now has the most access to Thalia, which'll then spread to the others from Thalia. The Camp boundary is now powered by not only Thalia's essence but Perci's also. The other Little Big Three will be joining too. Maybe not Jason and Hazel, though. The Olympians don't need to know that they now about each other.c
Catacombs of Paris:
Perci isn't the way she is because of sitting in class, listening to teachers droning on and being a pretty little princess. She's had lots of dark shit thrown her way. Lots of shit she doesn't want out of her mind. It wasn't a pretty incident. She got tortured and mutilated by a ruthless, time-worshiping cult (you better get the hint). Not pretty. I also wanted a way to introduce Kýma Marlowe. I will also be droppinf past events from Perci's life on the during chapters, so when she is suddenly in Cambodia or Slovakia don't panic. Oh, and badass Sally has her own Bold point.
Marlowe:
Marlowe honestly was a spur of the moment addition. She is a sea dragoness. Powerful. And very, very, very old. She is very knowledgeable as shown. And even though Perci is very capable in using her powers- she can change her outer appearance (by frosting her figure in a not-perma-frozen way that looks natural enough- Deliria Rheason), she can also turn water to ice: during Capture the Flag she made instant chains and ice-blocks to hold her friends and place to get rid of the eidolons- something we did not see The Percy do, hell he was afraid of controlling poison- which could've helped him through out the book like with Pit Scorpion and the Chimera, those are just a few. Yes, she can manipulate any liquid, but with differing intensities. Marlowe knows she is very powerful for her age, she also knows that, unlike The Percy, she has grips in her father's other domains and is expanding with loopholes. Marlowe is a protector and mentor to Perci. My baby girl needs to reach full potential and beyond. I also liked the idea of a movable-expandable-stasis-ed-pouch-tattoo inventory.
Badass Sally Jackson:
Sally is a badass, all the fandom can agree on that. She is sit very much mentally and emotionally stable despite her son's effed-up life. Hell, she just took a gun from a sleeping officer and started shooting the enemy in the Battle of Manhattan. Badassery right there. She killed her husband. Yes, she is sweet and supportive and every role model for mothers out there. A little awesome-dust sprinkled won't take away her sweetness. Yes, she slaughtered a cult for her daughter and all the girls before her. She doesn't take shit from know one and won't stand for those giving it out. Also Paul's sword-slaying from his days of Shakespeare and how well he is like "Okay, yeah, my stepson is half god and there is an entire world I can't see that is still there...Honey, would chicken and pasta do for dinner?". He piqued my interest. Decisions, decisions.
Major Calder's Excerpt:
That little thing was for the Paris Incident and proof of how invested she is in learning stuff- not school stuff (the Math and Science are necessary for her line of work and for later on.) She never knows when she'll need something. It's better to have something you don't need, than to need it and not have. Also, knowing more is very important for her. After all, if something could go wrong it will. Better for her to know how to fix it in time.
Cabin Three:
I was just lazy to describe something I will likely forget latter on... So why not a place that keeps changing that is perfect for a metaphor, irony and indirect-foreshadowing? Brilliant. Poseidon also knows about his daughter's fiascoes. Most of them. He is an overprotective daddy with his sons, imagine his first mortal daughter? So, the basement is like a pseudo-not-gift-gift? I don't know that thing was always there( according to me) he just keeps adding to it and copying important shit for Atlantis' archives and libraries( say whaaaa...o_0) and adding it there. He is intuitive and a bit premonition-esque. Which brings us to the next point.
The Scrying Mirror:
As I said in the last A/N Posiedon had some sort of prophetic shtick in the past. He gave it away. Dude's got a lot on his overflowing( get the pun? get the pun? Cause he's the Sea god and over...flowing? No, okay I'll shut up) plate. So it is not weird for him and his desendants to have strong intuitions and a bit premonition-ic ability- strong gut feeling. Scrying, also known by various names such as "seeing" or "peeping", is the practice of looking into a suitable medium in the hope of detecting significant messages or visions, or foretelling the future using a crystal ball or other reflective object or surface. Thanks, Google. So yeah. water is a reflective surface...then come Loopholes. She ain't carrying a bowl of water every where she goes. Even with the invetory tattoo. The mirror was made by a bro. A skilled bro. Someone good with building stuff. Brilliant, I hope the clues will be enough. Because although the bro doesn't do shit and basically doesn't exsist in the beging of the story, he is important. Probablly won't be showing much, but he. is. important. Okay.
Kronos and Luke:
Yes, Luke is the bad guy. Perci is too perceptive and smart to not figure it out, especially with the Fate-given ability of h\er's, which will be explained next chapter. Also, guys... Kronos isn't very discrete, subtlety is overrated to him. Yes, he is connected to the Vremya cult. I know Perci is very pro-family, but she remembers and isn't dumb to not recognize his signature in some unfortunate events that happened to her, she knows it was him, she just doesn't know why. But she's getting there, Sabrina the mummy is a key... maybe she does need to give her that makeover some time, huh?
Little Big Three:
I love them, I love them, I love them. I want them to know each other. So they will. They are important for the future(duh...) They have to have a good relationship, we wouldn't want a repeat of WW2( Other Little Big Three's) and the American Civil War( Greek vs. Rome). No, thank you. They will be popping up every now and then in dreams till they are where they'll be needed.
Next chapter will be the Olympians' POV but in Perci-style( I hope), but if the conversations are formal sounding blame the assholes in the sky. I hope I went over everything, if not, please, do not hesitate to say so.
I will be making chapters shorter, unless otherwise was requested. And since it FINALLY the last week of school, there should be more frequent updates. And don't freak if Percillia goes to other thoughts then back to where she is currently.
Ooh, yes. I'm thinking of adding little summaries at the end of the chapter for explanations to not repeat last chapter's confusion.
-3anona, out!
