Tempest or Cesar here. A bit of an half assed chapter. I'm trying to wrap up Jax's time in camp without making it go too quickly. I said last time Bea's the love intrest but honestly I don't know anymore. So I'm just going to stop saying stuff I don't know anymore. Well enjoy the chapter.

A couple months pass and it's now May I'll be fourteen in a month. I haven't talked nor seen my parents in months but Hecate tells me how they are doing when I ask. I'll also be able to visit them for my birthday. My schedule has been pretty cramped. I paid off my sheath but I still work with Beck in the morning. I call him Beck now as Beckendorf is a mouthful and he doesn't let anyone call him Charlie. After that I go to the mess hall for breakfast. I eat all my meals with Lou, Cee and Jules. Then I have sword practice which is sometimes skipped for classes with Mr. D or capture the flag. I still practice with Coach Hedge and occasionally Carnus. By the time training is over it's lunch. I eat my lunch and go to the shore. I practice my shifting and work on manipulating the mist. I work on that until I am bored or it's lunch. I head to eat dinner and sit with lady Hestia by the campfire. After that I either go to sleep with the rest of the cabin or head to the lake with the Naiads and Dryads. Now back to the present. "Fucking hell Blondie! Can you relax a bit? We have a party tonight!" I was sparring with Carnus as he was exempt from archery today.

"Don't you want some wounds to show to Beatrice? Maybe then she'll be interested in you." I gritted my teeth. I've been sword fighting everyday for months and I still only beat Coach Hedge once! Carnus beats my ass every time he can.

"Jaxson I've seen rocks fight better than you! Focus for once you're losing to a male Playboy model!" I think that's more of a compliment to Carnus than an insult to me. That lapse in focus gave him enough time to disarm me and throw me to the ground.

"You haven't really improved. You still can't disarm a good fighter. I've been saying this for weeks but try a different weapon. I can teach you how to dual wield spears if you want?" I shook my head furiously getting up from the floor.

"I want to dual wield swords. I won't quit till I can beat you Blondie." I pointed to Carnus. He sighed.

"You can't win an argument against a dumbass." He put his training spears back in the rack and picked his bow up and left. I did the same with my swords as I headed to lunch. I sat down next to Cee like always.

"Cee you're coming to the party right?" He looked at me with a sandwich in his mouth.

"I wouldn't miss it. It's tradition to party before a capture the flag match." I nodded. Ever since my first match It has become tradition to party the night before the capture the flag match and the night of the match. But the party is pretty private only Naiads, Dryads and all other Nymphs are given automatic entry. Satyrs, demigods and centaurs have to have an invitation. Me, Cee, Jules and Lou are always welcome and we can each bring guests. Cee and Lou sell the privilege to go to the party and so did until I bet the privilege away to Carnus after I beat Coach Hedge in a duel and challenged him. And Jules brings her friend Katie.

"Are you finally going to get Bea to go on a date with you? You've asked her 7 times when are you going to give up." Originally I was only jokingly flirting with Bea. But now I genuinely have a crush on her. I've been trying to date her for so long. And everytime I ask her out I always get rejected. I make sure she isn't cornered when I ask her. And I always try to be respectful. But nevermind that.

"I'm going to keep trying. It brings in the views right?" We still hold the top spot currently on best reality show on Hephaestus TV.

"Yeah but why don't you ask another girl out? You know they're all good looking." I shook my head "It ain't about looks no more I actually like her."

Lou laughed. "What happened to bachelor forever?" Jules started laughing too.

"That was just for the views! I wasn't being serious!" Lou wiped a tear from her eye.

"Sure. Well, good luck then Casanova." After that I ate my lunch and went to the shore to practice my shifting.

"Hey mom, how long till I get to learn my new power ability?" I thought. Knowing she would answer.

"If you win the capture the flag match with nothing but your shifting I'll tell you. You can't bring anyone else with you however." That's going to be tough. I'm facing Ares and Athena cabin and everyone knows my power now.

"I'll do it. I think I got what it takes." I'll have to tell the others about this. They'll probably think I'm lying.

"Okay good luck tomorrow." I'm glad she can't hear all my thoughts. I'm pretty weird and that would just be embarrassing. I practiced shifting back and forth between my normal body and my girl version. I actually quite like using that body instead of the Naiad one. I can now shift almost instantly. And I shifted all the Naiads and Dryads before. It's pretty tiring though I can only hold it for an hour. And that's with me not doing anything else. I spent the next few hours training till dinner. At dinner Chiron came back. That was definitely a surprise. But I really didn't care. I don't really know him like everyone else does. So that's why I didn't hug him or even talk to him while others ran to hug him. Annabeth included. The usually calm headed prideful girl ran to Chiron. I shook my head smiling. It brought back memories of me running to hug my dad after he came back from work. I miss my family but I will get to go back for my birthday and for winter. After everything settled down we headed to the campfire which was very lively tonight. That made Hestia happy.

"Are you happy Chiron's back lady Hestia?" She nodded.

"Are you happy?"

I shrugged. "I only spoke to him once. He left the day after I arrived."

She nodded. "He is a good man. A very loyal man he has served us for millennia." That brought back the massacre I saw in my dreams. I dreamt it so many months ago but I can never forget any details. The blood, the tears, the sound of hoofs and the look of the Olympians. It's hard to believe everything you ever heard is a lie. The classes with Mr. D telling me one thing and Kronos something else. But that blood. Those tears. I cannot brush them off. Those memories of soldiers wanting to see their family. I can't forget those. I can't forget anything he showed me. "Are you okay Jaxson?" Lady Hestia snapped me back to reality.

"Yes lady Hestia. Sorry I was thinking about something that happened earlier." The rest of the talk was like many other nights, small talk and such. I never told anyone about my dreams. After what Kronos told me I won't out of respect for him. After the campfire I said goodbye to lady Hestia and headed to the lake.

The lake got some renovations. There's now a main entrance, portable toilets, casino tables, spotlights, a bar and a table for a DJ. It's more of a club now. Which was all generously donated by the Stolls. Except for the bar which was a combined effort of me, Beck, and Mr. D. The Dj is usually Carnus but sometimes me or Cee hop on. Two huge Satyrs stood guard at the entrance, their horns curled on their heads. "Hey Mark. Hey Kay." They recognized my voice and looked down at me.

"Hey Jaxson. You're free to go as usual." Kay said, his voice booming like usual.

"Thanks guys." I walked past them. The cheers of the Naiads became audible a few steps later. It seemed like Carnus had already started. The old smell of pine was overtaken by wine. Hey that rhymed. So did that. I'm on a roll. I nodded at Cee who was playing poker with some Satyrs. He got here early by skipping the campfire. I noticed the lights weren't on. We also set up some spotlights I had the Stolls steal for me. I walked over to one of the spotlights.

"Hey what's up with the lights Ray." The young Satyr looked up at me.

"I think the guys on the other side got scared since Chiron is back. I think they fucked with the breaker." I nodded.

"Make sure to tell them to fix the lights. Mr. D already gave us his permission there's nothing Chiron can do. The sooner the lights get on the better." He got up off the ground.

"Got it boss." He walked past me and I headed to the center of the party.

"Alright everyone! Can you hear me?" Carnus spoke on the microphone. A roar of yeses came from the crowd. "As usual I'm going to start randomly picking songs recommended this week. The first song is Wow by post Malone!" Wow began playing blasted at full volume. Vibrations could be felt through the ground. The crowd went crazy which wasn't a surprise. As Jules said, they're a crazy bunch.

"Hey, why aren't you at the VIP area? Beatrice is there right now." The blonde Naiad who I shifted into once asked putting her chin on my shoulder.

"She is?" She rarely came to parties.

"Yeah a few of her friends convinced her to come." I smiled. Maybe she'll accept my date.

"Thanks Beth." I said ducking, getting her chin off my shoulder. I walked over to the VIP area which had a couple tables and was where the bar was. I shifted into a random Naiad that was dancing and walked to the VIP section.

"Ok next up is… Hello by Pop smoke!" It was a lot easier to hear him as I got closer to the center of the party. I will have to ask the Stolls to get a better microphone for him next time. I walked into the VIP section and saw Bea talking to some friends having a good time. Do I really want to ask her out again? I know she's not into me. I should just leave her alone. I looked at the bartender.

"Hey Nat. Can you get me the usual Dr Pepper.?" She nodded.

"No problem boss." She went to go look for a Dr Pepper.

"You're not going to ask out your soulmate again?" I heard Travis behind me.

"You know you guys are banned until May right?" I turned and looked at the brothers.

"Well you won't snitch will you?" Connor asked.

"If I snitched this little club would get shut down." Nat came back and gave me my Dr Pepper. "Thank you Nat." I left a dracma on the table.

"Hey can you get me a dew and get Travis a Pepsi?" Nat nodded and headed to grab the cans. "You didn't answer the question, lover boy." I sighed.

"Listen guys, she ain't into me. I'm just. making it harder on her." The brothers shook their heads and grabbed their cans. They simultaneously opened them and took a sip.

"You remember that first week when we were setting this place up? She was blushing every time you looked at her!" I shrugged.

"Everyone has crushes, she's moved on." Connor took a quick sip and pointed at me, the bottle still in hand.

"You keep asking her when she doesn't want to leave her friends. Ask her when she's bored not when she's having fun." He has a point. I always ask her when she's having a good time. I need to ask her when she's bored. I need to improve my physique too, maybe then I'll have a better chance. But I'm not going to use my powers to shift myself into a model. I'm going to do it without my powers.

"Thanks for the advice." I drank my soda in silence.I don't feel like doing anything anymore. I could go join Cee and start gambling. Or go help Blondie. But I really just feel like being by myself. I left and put an extra dracma for Nat on the table.

I headed deeper into the woods to walk around. Luckily no mosquitoes thanks to Thalia's tree. Sometimes I left the camp to be alone. Other times I sat next to her tree. I was walking through the woods when I heard a roar. I stood confused. What was that? Then heard screaming. Shit something's happening. I ran towards the screaming. The screams stopped soon after I started running. Shit I need to get there fast. I ran and ran till finally I reached the main gate where a guy was covered with golden dust and had a horn in his hand. He collapsed. I ran to him and checked to see if he was breathing and if he had a heartbeat. A Satyr was on the floor unconscious too and I did the same. After confirming they were both alive Luke, Chiron and Mr D showed up. They were all stunned when they saw them. "Are they alive?" I nodded.

"Yeah. The Satyr is unconscious but we need to get the boy to a medic." Chiron came to my side and took him on his back.

"I'll get him to the infirmary and check on him myself. Luke and Jaxson take Grover to the Council of Cloven." We both nodded as we both took an arm and began heading to the council. Mr. D looked at the tree line then up to the sky which became lit with lightning.

"Watch yourself, you both, this is not a good sign for what's to come." He teleported away without saying anything else.

"I never wanted to do this again." Luke muttered under his breath as we were carrying Grover. I decided to not ask. Whatever it was, it was personal. We silently carried him through the woods and to the council. Only one was awake, Leneus. An old Satyr apparently related to a famous nymph. "My lord we have an injured Satyr. He has minor wounds but is unconscious." Luke said professionally. He inspected Grover and hit his head with his staff.

Grover awoke immediately and was very confused. "Percy, Minotaur, Enchiladas!" Me and Luke looked at each other then back at Grover. Leneus hit him again with his staff.

"I have it from you two. Head back to your cabin." We bowed, not wanting to be hit by a half goat man and left. "Are you coming back to the cabin?"

I shook my head. "No I want to go to the shore. I need to clear my mind." Luke nodded understandingly. We went our separate ways and I sat on my favorite boulder. I picked small rocks and threw them into the ocean.

"You know you're going to hit a nymph one day." I looked behind me and saw Bea. I shrugged and just looked at the sea. The waves were huge today. Occasionally coming close to hitting me. "Are you not going to ask me out?" I chuckled.

"Do you really think I can't take a hint? I'm more than a want to be Casanova you know." I said harshly. I didn't want to deal with anyone anymore. And after so many failed attempts of even just grabbing a coffee I was done with her.

"And I'm more than a want to be tsundere." She sat next to me.

"This is a privately reserved boulder you're sitting on." She turned to me, her eyes glittering in the moonlight.

"Didn't you want a date?" I shook my head and almost began laughing. This girl was unbelievable. Now she wants a date after all the failed attempts.

"Why the change of heart. Did you finally realize what you were missing out on?" I joked.

"Do you want the date or not." She asked, annoyed.

"Not if this is some dare. I won't be played a fool. If it's a dare go back to the party say we fucked or whatever." I said dismissively. I was getting tired of her. She slapped me.

"This wasn't a dare. Also why would I want to have sex with you?" I touched my cheek. Part of me was furious, the other part was curious. She didn't come because of a dare? It was her own fault.

"I'll apologize and grovel on your feet if you want but answer my question first." She looked at me, understanding what I was going to say.

"You want to know why I came here right?" Yes that's what I wanted to ask but I had to say this.

"Are boxers for man whores? I'm wearing boxers and I just wanted to make sure." She looked away from me.

"If you keep saying stuff like that I'm going to leave." Okay time to be serious then.

"Why did you come here?" She turned back to me.

"I wanted to apologise when you were in the woods by yourself. Then I heard the roar and screaming. I saw you run towards the screaming and when it stopped you ran faster. When I caught up to you I saw you checking the guys in the ground and helping take one of them to safety. Then I saw you head for the shore. I just wanted to say sorry for always rejecting you even though you keep trying. I don't even look at you and you still try. I purposely avoid you and you still go after me. Why?" I shrugged.

"At first it was just for fun. But I genuinely started falling for you." She nodded slowly.

"Well I'm sorry for rejecting you regardless. I know it takes a lot of courage to do so." I looked back to the shore.

"I'm sorry for continually doing so. It must've been uncomfortable. I'll stop asking you out from now on." She sighed.

"Now you're making me feel bad. I'll give you one chance. Take me anywhere you want for a date. You have until July to take me. I won't let you take the easy way out with the fireworks." Damn that would've been a good one. But do I really want to do this. Is this really what I want, a pity date?

"I'll see if I take you anywhere. I was just starting to move on, you know. You better not be trying to keep me trying to ask you out for attention." She laughed.

"If I wanted attention there's so many more guys I would go after. I enjoy watching your antics with your friends. It looks like so much fun and you'll have such a good time. I prefer to be alone but when I watch you guys on Hephaestus TV I want to be a centerpiece in that." I looked at her confused. She watches the show? She wants to be on the show?

"You know I'm not usually like this. I've changed since I came here. I used to be quiet. Never making any noise even when I tried I barely got any attention. I was popular enough for most people to know my name. But not enough for anyone to date me apparently. So I went with the flow and just started blending in. Then when I got you I had a chance to make a name for myself. Especially when I learned how to shift. That's why I train. I want to be able to be known as the best. I want to be remembered by others. Why am I telling you this?" She shrugged.

"Because you have problems?" I laughed.

"We all do. And I still didn't hear you say sorry." She sighed.

"I'm very sorry for breaking your heart." She said sarcastically.

"Now a kiss to show you aren't lying." She recoiled back.

"I was lying." I looked at her

"I know." She started back.

"You don't care do you?" I nodded. "I don't." She started to look awkward.

"Are you going to take me out on a date?" I smiled.

"Can I call you Bea?" She nodded slowly.

"Yeah?" My smile grew.

"Then I will. I'll let you know in a few days when it's going to be." I got up and dusted my clothes.

"Have a goodnight Bea." I said over my shoulder. I really am a dumbass sometimes.

My night was oddly quiet. I entered the cabin and everyone was asleep except for Cee who's probably still gambling. I entered my sleeping bag. And stared at the ceiling before falling asleep. Like most nights after Kronos stopped showing me the past I had no dreams. I woke up at the brink of dawn like always and got ready to work with Beck. After I was ready I wondered about what happened to the Satyr and the guy last night.

It wasn't unusual for people to arrive at camp injured. That ambrosia and nectar are incredible. I could drink that forever. I decided to check up on them both as I still had time before Beck woke up. I went to the infirmary. The cold breeze of the shore sends chills down my spine. The infirmary was guarded by Argus. Now Argus isn't a bad guy. Sure he had problems with demigods before but he's cool if you let him be. "Hey Argus, can I check on the guy in there? I found him last night and Chiron took him here. I just want to see how he's doing." He grunted and moved away from the door. I walked through and he followed close behind me. You know how it feels when someone's staring at you? With Argus it's a hundred times worse. The guy was still knocked out and was laying in bed. I stood analyzing him. He had hair like mine. He also had green eyes but his were more like the ocean. I left right after I analyzed him. There's no way he would die anyways.

I headed to the council. I walked through the woods. The birds had just woken up and began flying from tree to tree. I saw a few baby birds jump off the tree. They began fluttering their wings and gliding through the air joining their parents. Until one fell. Poor guy couldn't flap his wings fast enough. I tried picking him off the ground but he began trying to fly away. He could only fly a foot before landing. I chased him trying to pet his back. I got him a couple of times until he became comfortable with me. He opened his mouth and began calling for food. Sadly I didn't have anything on me. Instead I gently picked him up and placed him on my hand. I looked around looking for the tree he came from but couldn't find it. I was in the middle of the woods after all. I decided I would take him to the council. They would have some food. A few wrong turns and the bird trying to escape I made it out the woods. Leneus was sitting on the table with Silenus and Maron. "My lord's." I bowed and they looked at me. "How is the Satyr I brought yesterday?"

Leneus got out of his chair. "He is well. He is still shaken however." I nodded.

"I see. If it wouldn't be an inconvenience could I have some food? This little bird is quite hungry." Leneus nodded.

"Maron, get your pipes." Maron brought out his pipes and began playing. A small plant appeared through the ground. Out from the plant came a tomato.

"There you are, young one." Maron said finished with his bagpipes. I plucked the tomato with my free hand and brought it to the bird. It took a bite and spit it out.

"It seems he doesn't like it." The three Satyrs nodded. Silenus got up and walked over to me and the bird. "It seems to be a crow. Sadly we do not have meat for him. But you may give him the bugs in the garden." I shook my head.

"I am not the biggest fan of bugs, my lord." The three of them chuckled.

"It matters not simply take him to the garden, he shall know what to do." Silenus answered.

"Thank you my lord." I walked over to the small garden and placed the bird on the ground. The little crow ran around hunting birds. After he was finished he came back to me. I put him back on my hand and placed him on my shoulder. Maron raised an eyebrow.

"You do know crows are seen as a bad omen?" I nodded.

"It doesn't matter to me. I simply want him to live." They nodded slowly.

"You have our thanks for saving young Grover. If you wish anything from our council please ask." I lifted the crow off my shoulder and bowed.

"Thank you my lords. I will be off now. May Pan awaken from his slumber."

They smiled sadly. "May Pan awaken from his slumber."

I headed to the forge. I now had a baby crow at my side. "I need to name you buddy." He looked at me and started to caw. Almost in protest. "Maybe I should name you silence. Just for the irony." He went silent. "Then it's settled Silence." Some campers began waking from their cabins. The majority being from the Aphrodite cabin. I mean they look like models naturally but they prefer their makeup. I walked into the forge and stuck my head through the door "Hey Beck is it okay if I bring a friend in." He grunted in response. I took that as a yes and walked through with silence. He turned to greet whoever walked inside with me.

"Oh a bird." He said surprised. "It might not be good for him to be here. The smoke could kill him." I looked at silence and he looked at me.

"You wanna go outside?" He began to caw again.

"I'll take that as a no." I turned to Beck. "I think it'll be fine if he stays. I'll let him go if he starts to caw." He nodded.

"Fine by me. Get over to the fire and get ready. I need you to get the chain from yesterday afterwards." I walked over to my spot.

"No problem boss." I started pumping like I've done so many times before. After the fire got hot enough he signaled me to get the chain. It was on the anvil and was pretty easy to find. It was made of the purest silver I had ever seen and it almost glowed. I placed the chain on a rag and waited for my signal. Beck poked his head and gave me a thumbs up and I began pumping, increasing the flames. Silence stayed quiet and was stuck on my shoulder. I saw Beck walk away from the fire and dip the metal into the oil to harden. I walked over and we both analyzed the object. It was a crescent moon silver like the chain. "Any warps?"

Beck shook his head and smiled. "It's perfect!" He picked the chain up and hooked them together. I smiled with him. He had been searching for this type of silver for a month. He even asked for my help in enlisting the Stolls to search for some.

"Do you mind if I enchant it? Just so it actually glows." If I had asked before he would've declined. Beck was a very independent guy.

"That's it. Nothing else right?" He asked suspiciously.

"Of course I know how hard you worked on this. I won't steal your spotlight. Especially when it's for Silena." He looked at me in surprise.

"It wasn't that hard to find out Beck. Everyone knows you like her." He sighed.

"Yeah, enchant it if you want. Just don't do a lot. I want this to be my gift to her." I completely understood.

"Don't worry boss. You did everything. I just helped with the fire." I focused and thought of a glow of silver enveloping around the Necklace. I opened my eyes and the glow of the necklace was very notable.

"Thank you Jaxson."

I shook my head. "Don't mention it." Beck pointed to Silence.

"He didn't make a single noise the entire time. You got some bird with you." I looked on my shoulder and Silence was looking back at me expectantly.

"Yeah he's quite cool huh. I think I found my therapist." We both laughed at that one. Beck pulled out a small box and gently placed the necklace. Then we continued making swords, shields and armor. This went on until right before breakfast. Me and Beck began cleaning up.

"Thanks for the help again Jaxson." I honestly like working with Beck. I learn little stuff doing it too.

"No problem boss." We went our separate ways like always and I headed for the mess hall.

"Hey Lou, Jules, Cee. We can't do the normal plan with the three of us today. This might sound selfish but I want to push myself. I want to see what I can do by myself." I didn't want to tell them I would learn my new power if I succeeded. Especially not Lou.

"Okay." Lou answered for the three of them. And they went back to eating.

"No objection? No yelling? No smacks to the head?" Lou looked at me with a sandwich in her hands.

"If you want to get smacked just ask. Do whatever you want. We are itching for an actual fight anyways." We've been pretty no contact in our missions. I'm not surprised they want to fight. "Okay then that went better than I thought." Jules looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"Did you think we were going to be upset? Do whatever you like. Prove yourself to yourself." I smiled.

"Thanks Jules." The rest of lunch was normal small talk and I headed to Luke and told him what's going on.

"If you are going to be by yourself, watch yourself. Stay in the woods steal someone's appearance if you have too." I was going to do just that.

"Got it boss." I went out to the shore. The opponent's flag was on the shore underneath a cliff. When the fireworks were sent off I walked over to the enemy flag.

"Alright Silence get ready." I said to the little crow. The ocean hiding my footsteps as I walked near the water. I knew the shore well. I took many walks here. There was eight guards. They were mainly Demeter and Athena kids. I slowly walked up close to the flag hiding behind a boulder and thought of a plan. I needed to steal the flag. I can't look over the boulder without the risk of being caught. There's too many of them to fight. An idea sprouted from my mind. I was playing against the Apollo cabin. I could change my appearance to look like Carnus. I jumped up and down in my head. The inly problem was Silence. He was still on my shoulder and I wasn't sure how to shift him. Fuck it. I shifted into Carnus and walked right through.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I heard Katie. Jules' friend I didn't realize she was playing.

"Orders from the boss. I have to move the flag." She squinted at me. I doubt she believed that.

"What's your favorite tree?" I looked at her confused. What type of question is that?

"Cherry trees I guess." That got the attention of all the other guards and they began readying their weapons. "Bye Katie." I ran out of their flag in hand.

"Get him!" Why does everytime I do this I end up getting chased. Archers fired when I entered back into the woods. Shut they predicted I would do this. I shifted back to normal and hid the flag using the mist and continued running. Poor Silence was being rocked. Instead of continuing to run through the forest. I accidentally walked into the main battle. How could I not hear the swords clashing. I saw a mosh pit and slowly backed out back into the woods.

"Hey what are you doing? Get him, he's flanking." Shakespeare called from the front lines. The entirety of the rear turned to me.

"Parlay?" They snickered. I'm fucked. I ran back into the woods. Branches scratched my face and arms as I ran. Several javelins flew past me. At least I have some advice to give. Never run straight when getting javelins thrown at you by insane teens. Out of pure luck I found the main trail and began heading to Zeus fist our base this week. I followed the trail as my life depended on it. Which it probably did. I almost cried when I saw the beautiful pile of rocks shaped like horse shit. The guards stationed there formed a defense line to hold out the wave of enemies. I ran through the line and touched the flag. Singling the win. Then I fainted.

I was in a white room sitting on a bench. In front of me was my mother. She was wearing the same outfit as the last time I saw her and was very disappointed. "Out of all the ways you could've won this is the worst! You barely even used your powers, you just grabbed the flag and ran! I almost don't even want to tell you your other power! But I did say you have to win. You have a type of charmspeak. If you focus on your words you can make any emotion you want go through anyone in range. " Charmspeak? That's cool I guess. Doesn't that one girl Drew have it?

"Yes she does Jaxson. You can learn from her if you want." Well another thing I have to add to my schedule. "I suggest you cut your tutorship with Dionysus. That will free up time." I looked at her confused.

"Why am I even thinking at this point? You can just read my thoughts." She shrugged.

"It's not my fault you fainted." I mean it kind of is.

"Besides the point. Well that's all I have to tell you. I'll see you later." I felt a jolt of energy through my body and I was in the infirmary.

"You know you are pretty shit at everything." I looked over to Carnus at my bedside.

"Out of all the people that could be here, why does it have to be you?" He shrugged.

"I had infirmary duty. I'm just glad I don't have to wipe your ass. Also your little bird is here too." On cue silence flew to my shoulder. I petted him gently and turned back to Carnus.

"What time is it?" He looked at his watch.

"It's around six. How you like my watch? Won it in a bet today." It was a black watch with gold inside.

"It's nice. You win it betting on me?" He nodded.

"I'm a bit surprised I won." I got up out of my bed.

"Well I have something to do. Tell the guys at the bar and club I may not be there tonight." He nodded again.

"Sure no problem." I walked out of the infirmary and the sun burned my eyes. Goddamn it's bright outside. It's not even noon. I shook my head. I'm still not used to the east coast. At least it's not as hot. I headed off to the Aphrodite cabin. I've never been to the cabin and I rarely talked to any of the residents. I knocked on the pink door to the cabin.

"I'm coming!" A bit of rumbling later and the door opened with the smell of perfume hitting me like a tsunami. A very cute redheaded girl opened the door. Her hair was a little shorter than mine, she had a pink crop top and white cut off shorts.

"Hey um is Drew here?" She shook her head And leaned against the door.

"No, she's at the beach. Do you need something?"

I nodded. "Yeah I need her help. She can charmspeak right?" That got her attention.

"Yes she can." I nodded again. Sweet I needed to confirm before I get myself in a mess.

"Okay sweet thanks for the help." She smiled.

"No problem, thanks for knocking by the way." Do people just barge into the cabin?

"No problem. Do you have a piece of paper?" She thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yeah, probably in a drawer." I leaned on the doorway opposite of her.

"Do you mind getting it for me?" She nodded again.

"Sure." She went inside and out of view. A couple of seconds she returned with a notepad.

"Just tear a page." I smiled. "Thanks again." I wrote my name on the paper along with a note to the Satyrs to let her go though with a few friends.

"Here it's an invitation to the party. Bring a couple of friends too." She smiled. An invitation to the parties at the lake were hard to get.

"Thank you so much." I shook my head.

"Don't mention it." I waved and headed to the beach.

Well the beach was sandy. It was on a different part of the shore and had no rocks. There were a bunch of people in swimwear on the beach. I saw a couple of people with lawn chairs and an umbrella in the back. I decided I would ask them. "Hey is Drew here?" Drew was here. I saw her pretty easily.

"Who's asking?" Drew asked.

"Jesus." She lowered her sunglasses. "I heard you can charmspeak. I also learned I could do a type of charmspeak." She took her sunglasses off completely now.

"How does this affect me?" Well it affects you quite a bit. You're not the only charmspeaker now. That must damage your ego.

"I would love it if you could teach me." She started laughing. The girls around her are doing the same.

"And why would I want to do that?" Now it's time for my trump card. "Do you want to join the Naiads tonight? I can get you into VIP." That caught her attention.

"Bullshit. You can't get in there." I looked at her. Why do I have to do this? I concentrated and shifted myself into her.

"Is this proof enough?" Surprisingly she wasn't surprised.

"Oh so you're the shape shifter. Your normal self is quite underwhelming. Get me a permanent spot in VIP and you got a deal." Her voice became sweeter and my mind went blank for a second. A permanent spot huh. That's what I was going to do anyway.

"Deal. But I'll cut it if I feel like you aren't holding up your end of the deal." She put her hand on her heart, faking pain.

"Why would you think of me like that?" I shrugged. "Better safe than sorry."

Well I hope the little crow is a good addition. Also Jax's new power. As you can tell it took months for him to master shifting and I'll let y'all know now he can't shift large groups of people. He also still can't fight. The charmspeak one may be a bit easier for him master since he has helo from Drew. I also just realized its like the one guy from Jujutsu Kaisen.(Fire anime and manga by the way.) I'm trying to give Carnus and Jax some more development. I think I did good with Lou and Cee. But Jules is still lacking. I honestly don't know how to write her. I'm hoping someone who's reading this has caught on to Mr. D or even better Hecate and Kronos' secret.

Some other things I'll mention.These demigods who've only trained for a couple years will not be as strong as Titans or other immortals. I've noticed immortals really don't change or improve in PJO. Like how have God's especially like Mr. D and Heracles who were demigods not try to improve other skills. Doesn't make sense to me.

And the pact. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. All three made a vow not to have children. I'm going to veto that. Hades didn't have any recorded children outside his marriage to my knowledge. Zeus and Poseidon did have "sex"(Technically should be raped. But Greek mythology doesn't really care about rape. Remember be like Hades not his brothers.) with a lot of women. So I'll have Zeus and Poseidon have the pact and Hades not. So Bianca and Nico will be hard to write in.World War Two. In the books it was Hade's children versus Zeus and Poseidon's. This time it'll be a Trojan war ordeal. Minor God's and Hades versus Olympians.Well that's about it. Chapters are going to take longer as I'm writing my own story and I'm really liking it so far. I will still update they'll just take longer. Tempest or Cesar out.
