"Oh yeah…Um…I'm not sure how to explain this to you, since you've never actually told me how your powers worked. But you have powers greater than the gods, even though, those are the god's powers, you can actually cause twice as much damage than the gods." Neil explained.
I looked at my hands, "Are you sure?" I asked.
Neil nodded, "You put on quite a show the last time I saw you use your powers…" He trailed off.
"A show? What did I do?"
He seemed to regret telling me that. "Well...I'm sure you're going to find out sooner or later. Last winter, Artemis went on a mission with you. Artemis said the mission was too much for the hunters, so they stayed here, but after a day you came back alone. But than a day later we had capture the flag, and you were on our side, but then Thalia, the only daughter of Zeus kind of challenged you and you being you, accepted the challenge. But that would mean you wouldn't on our side." Neil explained. I listened closely and nodded to him to continue.
His eyes seem to be thinking about what happened. "And so you went over to the hunters and played against us, during the game you were not allowed to use your powers, everyone knew we could trust you to no use them. Anyway, while the game was going on, Thalia, a bunch of other campers and I, fought against you. You kicked all of our asses…But while we were fighting, me and you. You changed your fighting style, because I'm really good at hand to hand combat and sword fighting." He said.
He took a big breath, "It wasn't a big deal, but you actually threw some punches in there that were kind of lethal. Thalia didn't like that, so she kind of blew a fuse and went off on you. You didn't fight back, until…Thalia pushed you…It really wasn't a big deal, I had to stay on crutches for a couple months, but she didn't have to go so far. When said she pushed you. I mean she pushed you, physically. When she's mad, he can electrocute people, and sometimes, even send them flying."
Neil looked guilty, "You apologized to us, but Thalia was the one who kept pushing you. She actually thought it was smart to actually fight you…And so she pushed you some more, then you got tired of it and actually did something. You made a lightning bolt come from the sky and hit you making it hard to get near you, and then you stomped on the ground and it opened up, and then soon flames came from the ground. So much came from it you made a huge ball of fire above your head. The thing that freaked me out most about that moment was, when you suddenly set yourself on fire, but then I knew you were serious, because, fire was surrounding you and lightning was flickering off you."
I must have looked terrible, but who can blame. I really did that? Me? Thalia must hate me…
Neil tried to make feel better. "But the good thing was that Percy put the fire out and then the lightning went away too. But when Percy poured the entire creek's water on you were actually still mad and then you pushed him away using some kind of power, I don't know what it was, but you just raised your hand and then he went flying, and then…Chiron and everyone attacked you…" Neil said and tried to smile, but I know this is something he never wanted to relive.
I hate myself right now…I can't believe how stupid I was, how could I do that to them? I mean wasn't I supposed to be the god of mortals? I wonder what was going through my head when that happened.
While Neil and I were talking, apparently the teams were announced, I don't know who was with who, but all I know was that I was with Nico di Angelo, Neil was with one of his siblings. Anyway, Nico and I, started to look around, Nico seemed nervous whenever he was around me. "Yo, what's the matter? You think I'm going to hurt you or something?" I asked.
Nico's eyes widened, "No! I'm just not use to being in groups with people, but since we're brothers, I'm a little more nervous, I mean I want to get to know you. From what I've been told you're the strongest demi-god to ever live. Even stronger than the gods!"
I smiled, it's nice to get a compliment like that once and awhile. "Thanks, but I don't think I'm that strong, because I don't know how to use my powers." I told him.
Nico Perked up, "What about the powers that belong to our father?" He asked. I sighed, "Those are the first things father taught me, and there were two main powers he showed me, the first one he showed me took me forever to master, and that was shadow traveling."
Nico's mouth hung open, "Can you teach me how to do it? Please?"
