Camp Demigod
Percy POV
After I howled I felt overwhelming amounts of feelings coming from the mental links. The biggest feeling was the one of surprise coming from every single link, some more than others. The next feeling was complete and utter happiness, I'll have to ask about that one. The third feeling was complete and utter confusion. These feelings flowed through me for about half a minute before I was able to close off my mind from the other minds. I started wondering why I felt the urge to howl and what the howl meant. It obviously meant something from the emotions coming off of my apparent 'subjects'. Maybe it was me telling them something important. Well the only way to find out would be to ask one of them, I'll ask Mrs. O'Leary later.
I started walking around in my hellhound form trying to get used to walking on four legs with no arms rather than two legs and two arms. For the first few minutes it felt very strange but I was able to get used to it and walk around normally. I started walking faster and faster until I was running at 30 mph. I felt I could run faster but I wanted to get used to my new form more before testing my limits. I spent a couple hours running around the outer edges of camp and was able to get mostly used to going fast in my new form. I remembered something I saw once when I stopped running. It was when I rode Mrs. O'Leary to May Castellans house. She shadow traveled there, so if I was a hellhound, doesn't that mean I can shadow travel?
I looked at the shadows and felt something different than all the other times I looked at them, they felt more tangible than before. I started running while thinking of the arena and when I hit the shadows I did not hit the tree, I ran into the shadows. I felt the wonderful sensation of feeling like my face was peeling off. Unlike the last time I shadow traveled I could actually see instead of being completely blind. I could see a bunch of doorways leading to different places and when I kept looking around I saw the one I wanted up ahead. The shadows at the doorway of the arena, I was already subconsciously heading for it but now that I could see it I sped up and ran straight through the doorway.
I ran out of the shadows at high speeds and almost hit the wall before I could stop myself, shadow traveling as a hellhound was a lot different than shadow travelling as a human. I felt quite drowsy since this was my first time shadow travelling as a hellhound. I shifted out of hellhound form which included the slight burning pain as the bones and muscles reshaped themselves. When I was back to human I took a bite of ambrosia and walked over to the dummies. I saw Luke training James, Arcai, Eric, and Logan in some of the finer points of swordsmanship. I smiled when I realized he was showing off the first move I ever learned, the disarming maneuver.
I walked up and started making pointers to improve their performance. Telling them to either widen or thin their stance, tighten or loosen the grip on their sword, sometimes even getting them an entirely different sword. After another hour of training they improved by quite a bit and the new guys could handle a sword without accidentally killing themselves. While Luke was leaving I caught up with him and asked him a question "Why was Zoe wanting to kill you earlier today?"
He paled a bit before responding with "Uh I may have made a very slightly perverted comment about her beauty."
I laughed "You my good friend, are a bigger idiot than me. Making a comment like that to a former huntress of Artemis, the one that hated men the most too."
He rubbed the back of his head "Yeah not my smartest idea."
"Probably your dumbest idea, dumber than joining the titans. Angry Zoe is scary Zoe."
"That is the truest sentence I have ever heard in my entire life."
We stopped talking for a few minutes while walking around. Finally he broke the silence "So the newer demigods have been requesting something."
"Oh? what is it?" I asked.
"Well they want to go on a field trip to Olympus."
I looked at him like he was crazy "They want to what now?
"They want to go on a field trip to Olympus" He repeated.
"Well we can't do that, not yet at least. We could go on a stealth visit to New Rome though, or CHB if they really want to."
"I'll inform them that we will be going to see the camps soon." He then ran off, using his inherited speed to go faster.
I sighed and started walking towards the stables to visit Blackjack. I summoned a box of donuts for him to eat so he wouldn't ask me for some. When I arrived I spoke to him "Blackjack I need you to do something."
"What do you need bos- and is that donuts I smell?"
"Yes it is donuts but you only get them if you do what I ask."
"Sure boss what do you need?"
"I need you to go get some more pegasi so I can start teaching the others how to ride them."
"I'm reading you loud and clear boss, by the end of the week you'll have a full stable of awesome pegasi such as myself."
I smiled "I knew I could count on you Blackjack, now here are your donuts."
I left him there to finish off the donuts and started walking to the house. On my way there something tripped me and I fell into a shadow, subconsciously shadow traveling. When I fell out of the shadows I landed on a rocky floor in a dark cave. I looked around and saw the exit, but it was behind three different monsters. An abnormally large hellhound, a werewolf, and a abnormally large wolf. I'm getting some deja vu here. I was about to pull out riptide when I heard a voice in my head.
"We will not hurt you master, no need to pull out a weapon."
I looked at them with a puzzled expression, It must have shown my confusion so the werewolf explained.
"You are the new king of Canidae and we are your lieutenants. I am Damien Lieutenant of werewolves."
"I am Richard, Lieutenant of non-mythical canidae."
"I am Alexander Lieutenant of Hellhounds."
I stood there stunned, I was a bit skeptical about this whole being king of an entire section of Earths animals thing but now here is proof that it's true. It took me a few minutes to shake off my shock but Then I barked out a few orders. "Ok Alexander bring a pack of hellhounds to my camp to show them that this is their haven, same with you two. I want at least one pack from each of you in the camp at all times. How many are werewolves are in your pack at the moment Damien?"
"10 active males, 5 active females, 5 mothers, and six pups."
"Good I want your pack to dig out a cave next to the arena where you will all stay. I will get supplies for the pups and mothers as well as training supplies for the active warriors. Richard, Alexander, spread the word that demigods are not to be harmed anymore and no killing mortals unless they are evil. In fact you should have those under your command help demigods to their respective camps."
They all said "Sir yes sir!" before shadow traveling out. I groaned because they didn't stay long enough for me to tell them to call me Percy, not sir.
I vapor traveled out of the cave and back to camp. When I arrived I found my new Lieutenants surrounded on all sides by my friends. Before anyone got hurt I yelled "Put your weapons down."
Everyone turned and looked at me like I was crazy and Michael spoke up "Perce these are monsters, they killed our brothers and sisters!"
"They cannot be held accountable for what they were commanded to do under their old king and I can't have you be killing my lieutenants can I?"
Every single person was completely confused my proclamation before Lee asked "What do you mean Lieutenants?"
I smiled and said "Percy Jackson, King of Canidae at your service."
It was then they noticed all the changes to my physique and just for fun I summoned my crown on top of my head. They had looks of complete and utter surprise upon their faces, which was completely understandable. While they just stood there I motioned for my lieutenants to join me and I started walking over to the arena. When we got there I used my earth powers to dig out a cave for the werewolves, a cave for the hellhounds, and a cave for the other canidae. Damien followed me as I went into the werewolves cave. When I got in there I started hollowing out different rooms like sleeping areas, eating areas, and a nursery. I repeated the same with the other caves and then using my home powers from Hestia summoned most of the supplies.
I was walking out of the hellhound cave when I got a message from one of my hellhounds. It was seeing a duo of demigods who were fighting a manticore. They must have a powerful scent for that monster to attack them. I shadow traveled to the hellhounds location and started observing the demigods. One was controlling some water, looks like a got a sister, while the other was freezing it and launching it at the manticore. They were able to block the manticores spikes as well as hit him a few times but I could tell they were tiring. Just as two spikes were about to go through their eyes faster than they could block it I controlled the water to fly and block them. Since the water moved faster than the manticore had seen the girl move it he froze and started looking around. When he looked away from the kids I vapor traveled in front of them. Their eyes widened when I just appeared in front of them and I smirked
Upon closer inspection I realized that it was my good old buddy Dr. Thorn (Note the sarcasm). As he continued looking around I yelled "Long time no see Thorn."
He froze once again and turned around, when his eyes landed on me they widened to the size of saucers. He actually looked slightly nervous. He started talking "Ah Jackson, why are you here?"
I frowned "These demigods are under my protection."
He growled "Why do you smell different?"
I smirked once again "That's for me to know and for you to not find out."
He growled even more before charging me while launching spikes. I froze ten discs of water into ice and used them to block all of his spikes while I engaged him. I uncapped riptide and swung it at him scoring a small cut on his right arm and he swung his paw at me. I ducked and stabbed his left leg. He swung his other paw at me and nicked me in the side. I noticed the hellhound who brought me here behind him and smiled. I backed off and Thorn thought that I was surrendering "Finally realized that fighting me was useless Jackson? Alright just hand me yo-"
He was never able to finish his sentence because three hellhounds jumped on his back ripping his torso to shreds. He fell over, slowly dissolving into silver dust and flowing into my amulet. Still not sure what it does but whatever. I turned around to talk to the other demigods who were looking at me with awe. The girl asked "Who, who are you?"
I smiled and said "Why I'm Percy Jackson, and you?"
"My name's Gabby and this is my friend James."
I talked to them into the night explaining how the Greek myths are real and how they were demigods. From their powers and appearances I figured that James was a son of Khione and Gabby was my little sister. I prepared to take them to camp when I warned them. "Ok so the first time you do this you'll feel very tingly."
After they said they were ready I fire traveled back to camp where I saw all the demigods there with backpacks. I opened my mouth to ask a question when Alex cut me off "We are preparing for the field trip to the camps tomorrow. I personally feel it's useless but these idiots over here think that we should all see it. I would be fine with it though if we didn't have to stay up until 12:00. I'm very tired so I'm going to bed."
With that she stalked off to her room, note to self Alex gets angry when tired. I started talking "Ok I didn't realize the field trip was tomorrow but anyways we have two more campers guys."
People smiled at that and I saw some money exchange hands, they're betting on parentage. I smirked and announced "Let me introduce James Hunter, son of Khione" There were some groans and more money exchanged hands "and Gabby, my little sis!" As I said that I pulled her up so that she was sitting on my shoulders. There were a lot of sounds of happiness at the people who guessed right. As I walked off to the house to set up the two new rooms I wondered how crazy the field trip tomorrow would get.
