Next chap of Camp Demigod
Percy's Camp, he just brought Julia back
Percy POV
James was ecstatic that he now had a little sister because he's always wanted one. He walked up and said " HI Julia, I'm your new big brother James." She looked at me questioningly and I nodded. She then jumped out of my lap and tackled James to the ground in a hug. When he finally sat back up Julia plopped herself down on his lap. He didn't notice and tried to stand up before failing and finally noticing Julia. He started tickling her and she fell off and started rolling on the ground begging him to stop while laughing. At this point I finally decided to interfere.
"Alright James I think Julia has had enough and we need to go set up her room" I said.
"Awww your no fun Perce" He whined
I gasped and put my hand on my heart pretending to be hurt. I couldn't hold it for long and soon I was laughing really hard along with James and Julia. " alright lets go set up your room Julia" I said.
"Ok big bro" Julia said happily
We went up to the second guest bedroom into my house and Julia started listing off things that she wanted to change. "I want a lot of stuffed animals like teddy bears and action figures as well. Can I have a TV, I never watched one before. OOH can I have an Ipod?" This went on for a while and before long I was able to get her everything she wanted but man, she wanted a lot of stuffed animals. 301 to be exact, she could literally build a fort out of them.
I then took her to the armory which also happened to be my basement. She was bouncing off the walls with excitement but when we went down stairs she just stopped, stared, and said "whoa." It was huge, weapons of all types everywhere. There were weapons made out of mortal steel, silver, stygian iron, imperial gold, celestial bronze, atlantean platinum, and all the mixes in between. If you're wondering where I got all this, It's because Hephaestus owed me a favor once and he gave me a box that If I opened it in a room, it would become a fully stocked, Hephaestus approved armory. All of the weapons even have shrunken down forms like riptide.
I took her over to the dagger section because she's too young for a sword. I tried all kinds of different daggers. We must've gone through every single one when we finally came across the last one. It was split down the middle with silver on one side and atlantean platinum on the other. We tried it out and it seemed perfect for her. I told her to think of it shrinking down and it turned out its smaller form was a hair clip like riptide used to be. I then took her to the arena which she was in awe of when we arrived, I mean it is pretty big. I saw James working on his swordsmanship on some automatons I build and he was doing pretty good. I started showing the ready stance of a dagger to Julia and she did pretty well. When she started swinging I could see that it was strange for her. It seems most of her demigod essence is in her powers, not her weapon skills. When she became slightly less awkward I called James over to see if his teaching skills have improved. When he arrived he was able to teach her 3 different moves before she was too tired to do anything else. I was impressed, he's been getting better and better but this is the best yet.(If your wondering how he's getting better James teaches people fencing in the nearest town) I called Julia over to me, now's the time to start practicing her demigod powers. "Hey Julia" I yelled.
"Yes?" she replied
"Come here we have some more practice to do."
"More fighting" She asks slightly exasperated.
"No no, something else"
"Ok Percy"
When she came over I asked her a question " Do you remember who your father is?"
"Yeah you said he's Hypnos"
"Do you remember what he's the god of?"
"Uhhh, nope"
"Well he's the god of sleep, so that means one of your powers is the ability to put things to sleep"
"WHOA! That's really cool"
"Ok now just try to imagine me falling asleep ok?"
"Ok" she said and I could see she was concentrating very hard by her face and suddenly I felt slightly drowsy. I thought a nap would be good before I shook my head and broke the spell. Julia was laying down on the ground sweating at this point.
"Hey Julia great job you made me drowsy on your first try." I said happily.
"Really?" She said suspiciously.
"Yes, really"
She then jumped into my lap and curled into a ball and fell asleep. I chuckled and took her up to her room and laid her down. I started walking down to the campfire to prepare lunch. Now you might wonder why I still cook with Hestia's blessing, my answer to that is what if I'm in an area or in a challenge where no godly abilities are allowed? I gotta know how to do things the old fashioned way.
I walked back to the arena to start training with my powers, I've gotten a lot better over the week with my blessings and domains. I started with water training, I called to the water in the ground and could feel it flowing out. I stopped siphoning water out of the ground when I had a water blob that completely filled the arena.I made it fly above the arena and made it form many intricate shapes, like pegasi and humans. I then made the water form thousands of ice arrows and stab all the training dummies over a hundred times each. I then started time training. I rewound time on all of the water arrows back to water and rewound the dummies back to perfect condition. I pulled up a 10x10x10 foot cube of granite and started accelerating time around it. I was able to make about 60% of it erode before I had to stop and catch my breath. I ate a piece of ambrosia and finished the job. Next was earth training. First I started pulling the specs of valuables that were in the dirt into usable masses, then pulled them out. I ended up with around a ton of celestial bronze, 3 tons of iron, 4 tons of copper, 5 tons of tin, etc., etc. I kept the monster killing metals and dispersed the rest of the metals back to whence they came. I had to sit down and take a swig of nectar after that because dispersing metals is HARD. After that started light training. I first drew energy from the sunlight around me and just basked in energy for a few minutes. I took in as much as possible because the more I take in now, the higher my energy limits will be later. After taking in energy for ten minutes I started releasing it through varied ways. The first was to create light clones of things down to the last detail, like me, Blackjack, Mrs. O'leary, James, Julia, and finally Ladon. The second was to create light bombs and throw them at the dummies. The third and final way was to just glow brightly, like brighter than the sun brightly. It took me roughly 17 minutes to drain all of the extra energy I took in. Once I was down to normal levels I started fire training. I created the biggest fire tornado I could and help it for five minutes before splitting it into four slightly smaller ones and maintaining those for five minutes before I condensed them all into a thin stream of liquid fire and launched it at the dummies and watched in satisfaction as they burnt up. I quickly rewound time and ate some ambrosia before finally starting my shadow training. I started manipulating the shadows into different objects like swords and stuff, then I started shadow traveling all around the arena. I shadow traveled once every 4 seconds for roughly ten minutes before I sat down unable to do it anymore. I used the shadows to form tentacles and started lashing out at the dummies. Before long they were all piles of shredded hay. I rewound time on them so James wouldn't yell at me about destroying them and started my magic training. Magic is cool, first of all I can manipulate the mist and make people see things, secondly I can heal people, and thirdly I can do a lot of other stuff. I trained with magic for a while before walking back to the house drinking some nectar.
When I reached the house I went down into the armory and grabbed a few things. The first was some throwing knives and their sheathes, 3 over each shoulder and 6 around the waist. The second was some smoke bombs in their pouch. The third was two guns, one on either side. The one on my right side had mortal bullets and the left had bullets that were a mix of celestial bronze, imperial gold, and silver. The guns also have a bottomless clip so I never have to reload. I went back to the arena and set up my targets for throwing knives and shooting. I was getting better with my pistols at the range of 200m, I got a bullseye almost every single time. I could also throw my throwing knives and always hit a bullseye at up to 75m. After honing my skills in those two departments I started training against an automaton army on my personal training level. I trained for 3 hours which let me destroy the army three times, man I need to upgrade them.
I walked back to the house and took a shower because I was sweaty from all the training and promptly went to bed.

I awoke to the morning rays shining through my windows and the smell of breakfast in the air. Oh yeah I taught James how to cook so he can help me teach others and so I don't always have to cook for him. He gets his ingredients from I fridge I enchanted to have whatever you wanted in it when you opened it. I walked downstairs to see James teaching Julia how to make scrambled eggs. I smiled. Soon, once there are more people we'll be a great big family. I walked over and took some of the eggs James made before and started eating. Right when I finished is when they finally came over to say good morning.
"Good morning big bro" They chorused, Sort of like they practiced.
"Good morning Little bro, Little sis" I replied
"So did you have a good sleep?" Julia asked.
"Yes, yes I did, sweet nothingness, no dreams no nothing" I replied
At that I stood up and went outside to breathe some fresh air. When I stepped outside I felt a disturbance at the westernmost end of the barrier. When I got there I saw some telekhines doing dark magic to disable this part of the barrier to try to sneak in a bunch of monsters led by the Minotaur. When they saw me they all froze and stared. Some started backing away but before they could get far I speared them with solidified dirt. The monsters stared at where I killed their kin and then rushed me. Right when they were about to get me I raised myself on a pillar of earth after sending out a wave of fire. The closest monsters were instantly turned to dust and all the other monsters got varying burns. I jumped down from my pillar and went to work with riptide. After five minutes the monster force of 250 monsters was all dead except for one last telekhine.
"I'm only gonna ask this once, who sent you and why here?" I asked in a very icy tone.
"I'll, I'll never tell you" He yelled.
"Ok then, suit yourself" I replied before chopping off one of his fingers. He screamed in pain.
"So you gonna tell me, or is more of that required?" I asked.
"Ok ok, I don't know who sent us but they said that a very big enemy lived here and we needed to eliminate it. That's all I know I swear on the River Styx!" He yelled.
"Ok thanks" I said before ending his pain swiftly by chopping off his head.
" I wonder who ordered them to try and kill me, hmmm."
I thought about it but was unable to come up with an answer by the time I got back to the house. I gave up and started my daily routine.

Mount Olympus, Throne Room
Council Meeting on location of Perseus
Third person POV
"So has anyone seen any traces of Perseus?" Zeus asked.
"I was unable to find his emotions, kind of like they were behind a barrier" Aphrodite stated.
Zeus nodded and looked to Ares who said "same here"
He then looked to Artemis who said "My hunters are on it as we speak"
"Has anyone else seen anything relating to the whereabouts of Perseus?" Zeus asked. Everyone else shook their heads.
"Maybe we should ask the campers, they might know something" Hera stated.
"Good idea let me summon the head councilors here" Zeus replied.
Zeus summoned them and after a few minutes they all walked in with Chiron, the rest of the seven, and for some reason Jack as well. Chiron politely asked" Milords and Ladies, why have you summoned us here to Olympus?"
"Well Chiron, we have noticed Perseus is missing and wanted to know if you or any of your campers know anything about his whereabouts."
At Percy's name most people gained looks of disgust on their faces which didn't go unnoticed by the council.
"Why do you make looks of disgust when the name of Perseus is mentioned demigods?" Hades asked slightly angry because Percy is his favorite nephew.
They all started listing their complaints and when the gods listened they knew Percy would never do those things and silenced the demigods. When they looked into their memories to see if they were true and found the problem.
"Your memories have been altered!" Zeus thundered at the demigods. At this they gained confused faces and when the gods removed the altering they gained looks of shame.
At this Jack started edging away but was caught by Ares. "Father this demigod tried sneaking away, That is reason to believe he may be behind this."
He brought Jack forward and threw him on the ground in front of Zeus. When he hit the ground something appeared over his head, A brain. The symbol of Mnemosyne, the Titaness of memory and remembrance.
"Curse you mother, you've betrayed me" Jack yelled
At this she teleported in and stared at him."No it is you who have betrayed me, I am on Olympus' side and you go against me, Zeus I give you full permission to blast him into oblivion for this" she stated angrily.
Zeus pulled back his master bolt and said "Any last words traitor."
"You may have killed me but you will never defeat my master! HE WILL KILL YOU A-"
He was cut off by Zeus throwing his master bolt and him dieing.
"Hades make sure his soul is under maximum security just in case they try to steal his soul back" Zeus stated.
Hades gained a blank look on his face for a few moments before stating" It is done"
"Well since you demigods know nothing about the whereabouts of Perseus goodbye" said Zeus before flashing them back to Camp. Then all the gods sat and thought about the new enemy.
