'He should be coming back soon, the solace is today' thought Senji when he woke up that morning. Senji had been more active around camp since Percy arrived, interacting with more people. He headed towards the dining pavilion after putting on clean clothes, but like usual he finds a interesting sight.

'since when have Silena and Luke been that close?' thought Senji as he saw them alone behind the Hermes cabin. Its not unnatural for two demigods to be alone talking to each other but the manner for which Luke is looking a Silena gave Senji a pause. Luke's gaze was dark and menacing, however his eyes quickly changes as they split apart from each other.

'must of been a trick of the light, I did just wake up after all' thought Senji, for the only thing he is good at understanding is blades, and a little bit of fate. He decided he would ask Silena about it in the future, right now he was more concerned about when Percy and company would be returning.

Later tonight would be the most likely time, for when one puts a time limit on things its most likely to happen at the last minute. Senji contemplated for a while about what he should do with his time when he felt someone tap his shoulder, turning around he vaguely remembers her as the girl he ran into a few days ago

Drew seemed to be trying extra hard to look pretty, she wore a ton of makeup and and wore seductive clothing that would make any man instantly interested, and adding on top of that she is a daughter of Aphrodite the goddess of love and lust. all in all she could charm any man into doing what ever she wanted, and she wouldn't even have to use her charm speak.

"Senji are you doing anything?" asked drew in what only could be described as a seductive voice, though Senji himself would not know any better. His mother was killed before she could give him the birds and the bees conversation, and while Chiron does inform the younger kids when they reach puberty Senji was already to focused on his blades to really care about girls.

"I'm in the process of finding something to do, if that qualifies as 'anything'" replied Senji with a slightly worried tone, while he isn't shy around girls he found out from Annabeth that trouble usually follows.

"well isn't this just perfect, would you mind joining me for breakfast at the dining pavilion" asked Drew sweetly, while she leaned down to supposedly get a better look at Senji's eyes. we all know what she was really trying to do, but not Senji, His mother told him to look people in the eye.

"I'm sorry but you know the rules, i cant be at any table but my own" said Senji as he began to walk towards the pavilion, as Drew stood there completely shocked.

'thats not possible, one would be a fluke but twice! he must be impotent no wonder my mother cheats on his dad' though Drew in resentment as she went back to her cabin to change clothe. Like she would ever show anyone her body like this if she didn't get anything out of it.

"poor dear" said Aphrodite who was watching the interaction on Olympus, She cares for all her children and hopes the best for them when it comes to love.

" its to bad, Senji is really to much like his father in the worst ways. no hes even worse, at least Hephaestus knew he like Athena, This boy on the other hand likes no one romantically. all he loves is making katanas" said Aphrodite in remorse before she quickly focused on another matter.

"there back!"

"The Quest was completed!"

Senji heard shouts like these as he sharpened one of his older katanas, he smiled in relief. His close acquaintances had made it back safe and sound. making one last stroke with his katana against his whetstone he puts it back into its sheath and lines it back up on the rack. Senji leaves the forge and heads for the middle of the camp where the commotion is, he can see the two people in the middle because of the camp fire.

Grover is not with them, but seeing as to how they don't seem that depressed he deduced he was probably held up somewhere. The camp had a small party to celebrate the completion of the quest, for sometimes demigods come back empty handed. Senji stayed mostly away from the crowd but he did meet up with Charles and had a small conversation with him, but Charles was mostly focused on looking at Silena so Senji left him to it.

It was a few hours after Percy arrived when he was approached by Luke.

"Hey me and Percy are gonna take a walk in the woods, I have a lot to talk about with him and with you. care to join us." asked Luke with a kind smile as he waited for a answer.

"huh, yeah sure." replied Senji, for unlike with Drew he knew Luke and has spoken to him quite a lot over the years. And so they went into the forest and on the way Percy joined them.

"I've been meaning to show you this Senji, I call it Backbiter" said Luke as he pulled out a double-edged sword made of two metals: tempered steel and . This means that it can wound or kill mortals, demigods, and immortals alike and sever their souls. Senji could tell all this with a glance, but he could discern more than that, like how a sword is not the original form of the weapon and that its very purpose is to kill.

"you should have left it where you found it" responded Senji icily, with a cold look in his eye. Luke stopped whatever he was going say next and studied Senji closely. Senji had never before seen a weapon so vile, the blade carries a will that is the complete opposite of Senji's. Percy while not as good as Senji when it comes to blades took a step back in fear at what he could feel from it.

"well I can see why you have such a reaction" chuckled Luke as he sheathed the blade.

"I was going to ease into this but my mistake has caused you to be on guard. The gods need to die, there tyranny can go on no longer" spoke Luke with resolve, he continued once he saw they weren't going to say anything.

" vie go allies, this can be done, the titans will help us" said Luke,

"the Titans! have you not read your mythology? they were way worse" said Percy loudly. he couldn't believe Luke could be this stupid, Kronos literally ate his children.

"yeah I thought you wouldn't understand, if you survive this you'll see that this is for the greater good" said Luke as he reached down to the earth and a light began to crack through the surface then a pit scorpion came out. Then Luke disappeared from Senji and Percy's sight, leaving them to fight a monster that does not belong in the mortal plane. Percy got out riptide and began to fight the beast while Senji stood there, he seemed to be thinking.

'Luke, how is it that your on the wrong side but are fated to have a hero's death? though Senji dumbfounded before he was reminded by Percy's grunts that there was a threat but before he could take out Jounetsu Muramasa Chiron appeared and shot it.

"it seems you were right to be suspicious Percy" said Chiron gravely as he looked at the pit scorpion turning into golden dust.

"you know something was wrong" Senji said to Percy in surprise.

"we will talk about this in the morning, for now get some sleep" said Chiron as he escorted them both back to camp and then went to the big house.

Percy and Senji were to occupied by their thoughts to say anything to each other so they returned to their cabins and experienced a sleepless night.
