Alright... Let's get focused. I do not own PJ or HoO. Also... kinda wanna write some angst- Enjoy the chapter
*3rd POV*
Percy and Harmonia stood out in front of the door, of Sally's house. They were saying there goodbyes, as of now, and was getting ready to head back to the camp. Sally kissed her kids' cheeks and gave them a hug. "Don't go too overboard with quests and stay safe, you two."
"We're two demigods, mom." Harmonia huffed. "Our job is to stay safe." She ended with a smile.
Sally let out laugh. "I suppose so, but I don't take back what I said, Moonshine."
Harmonia blushed at the old nickname, while Percy started laughing. "I havent heard that in a while." Harmonia mumbled a 'Shut up' as she turned away from the two. "We'll try our best." He told Sally, with a smile, once he stopped laughing.
Harmonia nodded, in agreement. The twins stood proudly, in front of their mom. The sunlight shining over them. Sally saw the difference between the two better. The hair is, of course, the most noticeable. While their eyes was the least. Liz's eyes seemed to have a blue hue while Percy's was completely sea-green. Their skin were both tanned but Liz's was more pale. She realized that Liz had her facial expressions, while Percy just had her smile. Sally stared at her kids before smiling, tears forming in her eyes. "Seeing both my kids, all grown up definitely does something to my pride." She said.
The tears shocked the two, but a blush was worn on both of them. Harmonia's being less noticeable. "Geez, ma," Harmonia started, playing with her hair, "That came out of nowhere."
"Well, it's true. From the pictures that I've seen," Paul piped up, making them turn to him, "You two have grown a lot."
Sally nodded in agreement, "Both physically and mentally."
Harmonia suddenly snorted, "I think Percy needs more time to grow mentally."
Percy glared at her, which made her smile at him. "Your face needs more time.." He grumbled.
Harmonia snickered and turned to Sally, "I will be honest.." She paused a little. "Hearing you say that is actually really nice." She gave a bright smile to her mother.
The smile Harmonia gave made Sally suspicious. It was too bright in her eyes and her words, it's almost like she wasn't expecting her to say something like that. Sally shook it off for now, making a mental note to talk about it later. "Like Paul said, it's true. I'm proud of both of you." She noticed her daughter wince slightly, but quickly regained herself. "Now run along. I don't want you two to get in trouble with Chiron." The two nodded and started to leave. "Harmonia." She called out to her. When the girl turned to her mother, she saw a warm smile on her face. "I'm hear whenever you want to talk."
The words shocked Harmonia but she nodded, and said a silent thanks, before turning to her brother. "Let's go." With that, the left and headed to camp.
*Timeskip (cuz I forgot what i originally put)*
When the twins got back to camp, they were greeted by Chiron. "How was the reunion?" He asked.
The twins responded, "Good!" with big smiles. Chiron nodded and let them continue into camp. They were chilling by the rock climbing wall, until they heard a 'Heyyy!' The two perked up and looked around.
"Did you hear that?" Percy asked her.
"I kinda wish i didn't-" She was interrupted by a 'Master!' "Did you hear that?"
The sea-green eyed boy responded with a groan. They looked at each other. "Pegasus? Yup."
Harmonia looked at the sky, then backed away from her brother. "Why did yo- Oof!" Percy was basically tackled by the black pegasus. "H-hey, Blackjack." 'Hi, Master!' "Stop calling me that and get off, please."
Harmonia laughed at the interaction, watching the pegasus get off her brother, soon a white pegasus, gracefully landed next to her. 'Well that was quite the landing.' "You're telling me. Hey Ice!" 'Good afternoon, Miss.'
"So you got a polite one?" Percy asked.
"Polite?," Harmonia snorted, "She's more of a pain in my a-" She was cut of by a loud neigh, to everyone around them. It was a loud 'Hey!' to the twins. There was pause between them. "Shes only like this around other people."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "But we're the only ones-"
"She thinks theres more.." Harmonia deadpanned. "Anyways," She walked up to the black pegasus beside her brother. "So this is the notorious Blackjack?"
'Notorious?' Blackjack asked.
Harmonia nodded. "Well I've heard so much about you. So, it fits. Do you not like it?"
'No that's a perfect word to describe me. Master here doesn't think so.'
"Really? He's talked about you a lot though." Harmonia said sweetly. "He even told me that you like sugarcubes."
The two pegasi and Percy perked up. "Uh.. Har-"
'You got sugarcubes?!' The black pegasus yelled.
Harmonia snickered and nodded. "Yup, I'll give you 5 right now. IF you stop calling my brother over there 'master.'" She said with the sugarcubes in her hand.
Blackjack nodded furiously. Harmonia lifted her hand up towards him as he ate the cubes. 'So what do i call him?'
Harmonia looked at her brother and motioned for him to answer. "Oh. Just Percy is fine."
'Just Percy got it!'
Percy groaned, not noticing the white pegasus coming up to him. He turned and jumped at the sudden blue eyes next to him. "Oh! Percy meet IceLily, IceLily meet Percy, my brother." Harmonia introduced.
Ice didn't do anything "I-" Percy stuttered "Is something wrong?"
'I don't see the fuss.' A posh female voice came from her as she turned her head away from him.
Percy blinked. "What?"
"She's saying you don't look like much, P!"
"WHAT?!"
'You look ordinarily plain. Not to mention skinny.' She turned to Harmonia. 'Are you sure this is your brother?'
Harmonia rolled her eyes ignoring her brother's mumbles of 'being judged by a horse with wings.' "Yes, Ice. This is my brother and be nice." The jaded pegasus, looked at him once more, snorted, and trotted away.
"Did that just happen?" Percy asked. Harmonia looked at him and turned away with a a snicker. "Don't laugh at me!"
Harmonia quickly calmed down and stopped petting Blackjack. "Can you go watch over Ice for me? You two would make good friends." Blackjack nodded and trotted away after the white pegasus.
"How eventful." Percy mumbled. "He listens to you better than me."
"I wouldn't say that. He respects you. You helped him after all." Harmonia told him. Percy looked at his sister, who looked back at him with a smile before walking away. "Lets go check on the kids." She said as she walked. Percy walked with her in a peaceful silence.
When they got to the Arena, they say Clarisse yelling at the kids. Who would've guessed. They rolled their eyes and snuck in. "It's not that difficult, Veronica!" She yelled at a black haired girl. "BAM, BAM WHOOSH!" Clarisse displayed two punches and a kick.
"Is that how you teach?" Harmonia deadpanned, a hand on her hip. Everyone, except Percy, turned their heads to her. Seeing her concerned yet calm look. "I am concerned for your kids-"
"As if she'll have them- Ow!" Percy was interrupted by a slap upside his head.
"Anyway, Riss, mind if we take over?" Harmonia asked with a smile. Noticing the kids excited faces.
Clarisse blinked and sighed. "Go ahead. You are better at kids then i am." The kids made loud noises in joy. "But i'm going to stay and watch."
With that Clarisse was watching from the side of the arena, while the rest were in the center. "Let's see," Harmonia said, grabbing a practice spear. Which looked like a long pole with out the sharp object at the end. "We were talking about basics." She started twirling it around with her left hand. "Anyone remember what we learned so far?" A child of Iris raised her hand. "Yes, Lyra?"
"Uh" She started, nervously, "We learned about stances."
"We did. Anyone else?" A child of Athena raised his hand. "Go on, Kyle."
"We learned about when to properly use the skills that you teach."
Harmonia nodded and waited for another person. "You got something else, Riess?" She asked a son of Aphrodite.
Shocked by being called out, he stuttered a bit before saying. "Didn't you teach us about what you trained in?"
Harmonia chuckled at the wording. "I did share about the fighting techniques and skills i learned."
"Miss, when are we actually going to start learning?" A som of Ares asked, bored.
"Well we're actually going to start today, Mitch." Harmonia answered. "There's just something i- or rather we'd like to explain first."
Percy nodded and looked at the kids. "After talking about how we were taught, with each other. We realized we have important things in common." Percy said, standing by Harmonia, with his hands on his hips. "Since it's fighting, You have to be tough."
"But at the same time you have to be gentle." Harmonia finished. She saw the confused looks on the kids faces and laughed. "It sounds weird, I know. It's like a balance thing."
"What do you mean by a balance thing?" Mitch asked. "It sounds stupid."
"I think she means that without one of those things, then the motions will be lacking. They balance each other out when fighting." Kyle explained his thoughts.
"That is a good explanation." Percy said.
Harmonia nodded. "It's like Yin and Yang."
"Or Earth and the Sky." Percy added.
"Day and Night." Harmonia said.
"Sound and Silence"
"Dark and Light!" the twins both said with a laugh.
After the laugh, Harmonia gave everyone a practice staff. "Like Kyle said, you can't fight with one and not the other. Both are needed in fighting, especially how I fight. Its like Winter, Summer, Moon and Sun." She sang the last sentence softly. She tossed the Wooden staff in the air. She put her hair up in a high ponytail, before jumping up to grab it, with a flip. When she landed she gave it another spin before looking at the kids in front of her. "Now, Let's start Lesson number 1!"
Song Time! Harmonia, Percy, Both, Kids
"Like a rock-" She made sound effects as she punched the air twice. "You must be hard!" She made more sound effects as blocked Percy's punches to her. "Like an Oak- Mmuh" She said as she pushed Percy away with her staff and looked at the kids. "You must stand firm!" She motioned to Percy, who sighed reluctantly, as she threw a ball towards him.
"Cut quick-" He said as he took out a practice sword and sliced the ball before it hit him. "Like my blade." He then took a few balls and threw them at Harmonia. "Think fast!" Harmonia dodged and blocked them with her staff. "Unafraid."
Like a Rock, Hah hah
I must be hard hah hah
Like an Oak Mma!
I must stand firm!
Cut quick
Like my blade!
Think fast, hah hah
Unafriad!
The children repeated the words and movements of the teens. With them helping those that needed it. Like Lyra's hand position on the staff. Though, Aria (a daughter of Hermes) almost hitting Kyle and Mitch, was avoided easily. "Okay, Liz! I'm ready!" Riess exclaimed, hopping in front of her.
"Uh huh, but-" She pushed Reiss with her finger and watched him fall. "You're still out of balance. We're only half way there." She put her hands together as she sat on the floor, legs crossed. "Like a cloud, you are soft." She sung bringing her hands down to her chest softly. She then got up as bamboo-shaped water formed around them, swaying in the wind. "Like bamboo," She went through the bamboo field in a swaying motion, gracefully. "You bend in the wind." She then moved in different stances softly. "Creeping slow, You're at peace because you know-" She turned to the kids again. "It's okay to be afraid."
With that the kids repeated the words, singing more confidently.
Like a cloud, I am soft.
Like bamboo, I bend in the wind.
Creeping slow, I'm at peace because I know.
It's okay to be afraid.
They also went through the same motions. Harmonia helping Reiss slowly bring his hands down to his chest. Lyra, Aria, and Kyle going through the bamboo field perfectly. Percy was focused on making a water spider. When he got it done he scared his sister with it. Earning him a hard punch in the shoulder. "Okay you all! We're going to stop here! Remember those words for tomorrow and we're going to meet on the beach."
The kids responded with a loud 'Yes, ma'am!' before they left they heard Harmonia call them out. "Remember these too: One, alone is not enough. You need both together. Winter, Summer, Moon and Sun-"
"Lesson Number One!" They all said together. Shocking the teens as they left. They looked at each other with one thing in mind 'This is going to be fun.'
