Review: Its eyes were an astonishing deep blue color that seems to hold the entire ocean. 'Very well, come with me.' Silver said.
Percy P.O.V.
The cave that we walked through seemed to slant downwards because when I looked back after a few minutes I couldn't see the entrance. After another few minutes, we arrived at a portal. 'Walk through the portal. There you will be able to train a week in one day.' Silver said. 'Are you going to train me?'' I asked. 'I can`t do that do to a curse placed on me long ago.' He replied. I nodded and said, 'I promise to find a way to rid you of that curse.' Silver looked startled at what I just said. 'Thank you. Now go and make everyone you love proud.' He said and then he swam off. 'I promise.' I said to myself. I then went through the portal.
As soon as I went through the portal, I felt weightless. Then I was back on my feet as soon as it started. I looked around and found that there was a bunch of karate mats surrounded with four barrels of water at the edge of the mats. The mats were on a grassy plain that was level and there was a clear blue sky. On another area there was a range with targets at different ranges, another ring but this one was mad out of sand, and lastly there was an area that was surrounded by four walls.
"Well, hello Perseus Jackson." A voice said. I looked to see who spoke. The voice belonged to a male who looked to be around twenty years old and was about five feet nine inches. He had brown hair, with brown eyes, that seem to hold a lot of pain, happiness, loneliness, and every other emotion possible, and had a define jaw. He was wearing what appears to be a white karate gi, but it was worn out to a darker white color. The sleeves seem to be torn off, showing of his huge muscles and scars on his arms. He had a black belt on his waist and a blue headband.
"Who are you? What is this place?" I asked. "You are currently in a space where a week goes by, per day that goes by outside this place." He said. "Huh?" I asked confusingly. "For every day that goes by outside, a week goes by here." He said. "Oh." I said simply. "Get some rest, tomorrow we will start training." He said while pointing to the area that had four walls. "You never told me who you are." I pointed out. "My name is Blaze." He then caught fire and then disappeared. I sighed. 'So much for training straight away.' I thought.

"It's time to wake up." Blaze said. I groaned. "What time is it?" I asked groggily. "Its sunrise." He said. "Go away and let me sleep for at least another hour." I pleaded. He frowned and said "Sorry, but in order to train with me, you wake up at sunrise and finish late into the night." I gulped. "Don't worry, you`ll get used to it." He said cheerily. I sighed and said "Fine, let's begin after I get dressed and eat food." He nodded and left the room.
The room had sea green walls, with room to put posters, pictures, or anything that I desire. I discovered it last night when I wished I could see my dad and adoptive mom. Also, there was no roof; due to what I assume is going to be clear night skies so I could see the stars. By far, my favorite constellation is the hunter. The reason; I was there when it happened and I like to always think that whenever I needed someone to talk to, she would always listen.
I shook myself awake and took a short shower and got dressed in the clothes my mom (Hestia) made for me. She also said she enchanted it to always be clean, and repair itself if I end up ripping it. I managed to summon some cereal with milk that I wolfed down. Then I thought 'Man, I'm going to need to practice this more.' As soon as I was finished eating, I walked around to look for Blaze, so we could start training. I found him by the karate mats practicing some form of technique I hadn't seen.
I cleared my throat and said "I`m ready to begin training." "You`re not training in that uniform." He said, while doing the form of karate. "Then, what am I training in? And what type of karate is that?" I asked. He stopped, walked over to his bag, and tossed me a white karate gi, with the white belt. "You`re training in that. I was doing a kata called χορός του δράκου." I raised an eyebrow. "Dance of the Dragon?" I asked. "So?" He asked back. "Aren`t dragons a myth?" I asked. When I said this, I realized how stupid that was. I was living in a world full of myths, so of course dragons existed. As if he was reading my mind, he said "Aren`t Greek gods myths to the average mortal? Also isn't Peleus a dragon? You know, the monster protecting the fleece?" He asked. I could only nod. "Now change." He ordered.
After I changed, he taught me some proper stretches to get warmed up. There were even some muscles that needed to be warmed that I had no clue existed or need to be warmed up. After that, he said "We need to find out what kind of animal is your spirit animal." "Spirit animal?" I asked. "Think of it as a spirit or part of your soul that helps guide or protect you on your journey." He explained. I nodded. "To do this, you need to start meditating and finding it deep down inside yourself. But be warned, it will not be easy to conquer or befriend." He warned. I nodded once more and braced myself for the worst.
I started meditating and looked inwards to see what my animal is. After a few minutes of looking, my mind appeared in a hallway. The walls were a dark shade of blue, with pipes coming out. The pipes were dripping water into the floor, which dipped into the floor.
There was a loud howl coming from the left, which broke my concentration and I came to a smiling Blaze. I was drenched in sweat and was panting. "What was that?" I asked. "That was your spirit animal." He replied. "But, what was that?" I asked. "Who knows? You`ll need to find out for yourself." He replied. I frowned. "But for now, let's start on your weapons training." He then said with an evil grin. I gulped and with that my training started.
