Aphrodite glared around the room as she felt the spike of energy once more. Sneaky was never a word you could describe Zeus with. She quickly replaced her glare with a sweet smile and fiddled with her nails.
She was tired and upset. Or at least she pretened to be, instead she felt only a sense of immense pleasure as she managed to fool Athena. She could almost giggle! But not now of course. Best not to do anything suspicious.
Aphrodite qurcked up as she felt more pescensess enter the room. "Demigods!" Zeus yelled once again rolling the cameras. Aphrodite looked up and flashed a smile.
"We are glad to have had you watch the mentor picks. Though I am sad to admit so, my daughter chose someone other then me," here he shot a venamous look at that someone, "but it is okay. She knows what she will learn. It was in the pamflet."
He cleared his throat to continue but by then everyone was loosing patience. "One more thing! As a warning the gods Apollo, Hephestus, and Aphrodite shall be visiting. Along with their protege. You have until tomorrow to clean!"The camera shut and a loud echo was heard through out the room as the camera stopped.
'Of course' Aphrodite thought bitterly
"Well?" Zeus asked.
"Erm what?" Apollo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"GO TRAIN!"
They made a an "oh" face before disapearing in flashes of color.
Aphrodite frowned as she landed in her trainng room. What would she possibly train Nico in? She bit her lip as she thought. 'Nynx wants Assassins, deadly mercyless ones. Oh of course its so obvious.' Aphrodite quickly shuffled around the room calling servents to bring her materials.
She smiled satisied before clappimg and having Nico brought forward. She smiled one of her deadly smiles before morphing it into a glare. "Now Nico," her voice was soft, "we have some very interesting things that will happen. First of course is the hidden attentions." She smoothly grabbed his shoulders and led him to a secluded room. "We need privacy Zeus will be watching," She whispered into into his ear.
Nico nodded discreetly. Morphing his own features into one of horror. "What exactly are we learning?" He chocked out.
Aphrodite silently noted his acting skills and decided she would have to deal with them. "Makeup, fashion, how to properly use a shoe." Aphrodite said nonchalantly.
It was coded for, how to diguise your self, how to make your self seem inconspicuous, and how to conceal weapons. A good first lesson he would be learning.
...
Apollo smiled at Percy in his car as they pulled the sun. "So who is the lucky lady you're with?"
"What?"Percy gave him a look that said he was crazy. "I'm not with anybody."
"Don't play dumb. The girl you're training with, you'll marry her. You'll have to eventually." Apollo said this as if Percy should know. Knowing Apollo he probably was told to keep that underwraps.
"Aren't you suppose to stay quiet about this when were not there?" Percy frowned at him. "And what do you mean I'll have to marry her? We've only met a few times!"
Apollo waved his hand at Percy. "Chaos is blocking out our conversation. A perk of working for him. Nynx can't do that. She can only shield Zeus eyes for so long. But he can't watch over all the lessons. Most likely he'll watch over the fist three and then get bored." Apollo grinned at him. "I wasn't suppose to tell ya about the marriage thing. But oh well whats out is whats out. You'll have to marry her and make suffient offspring to carry on the genes you both have."
Percy stuttered and blushed at the thought of having children. With Annabeth of all people. Sure she was pretty. But he didn't want to have kids with her. He barly knew her! The fact that this would happen with or with out his consent worried him. He shouldn't have to do that if he didn't want to.
"Relax that isn't coming for a few years. You'll have time to get to know her. You guys compliment each other well. Your chemistry together is a reason you were picked for each other." Apollo said seriously losing his layed back tone. "Anyway training. You'll learn how to use a bow. Some hunting skills will be installed in you. You'll need to be trained in the uses of animal blood and a bunch more." Apollo sighed thinking of all the work he would have to put in.
So no Thalia in this chapter but don't worry its coming in the next chapter. She has a large part with Hephestus thats coming up. Also I want to thank all that have reviewed. Please continue to do so. The more reviews the faster I'll update just saying.
