A/N Hello my dear readers. The next chapter is upon us, or something. I don't own anything except my flute, and my books, AND a lot more stuff in my room. Yeah just some stuff. Thanks for the reviews, they actually make my day. When I got my first review I just stared at my Ipad, or was it my computer? I can't remember which. But I just couldn't believe it, still thanks to Outofthisworldgal who was my first reviewer… Merlin I'm rambling again, aren't I? Sorry for that. Now to the chapter.

(Ps. I made a little mistake in the last chapter. Capture the flag is usually Friday and I said Wednesday, so lest just say that it shifts in this story. Oh and I also made her fifteen it's easier that way)

Chapter three

(Leo's POV)

Yesterday I had worked in Bunker Nine almost all day on Festus. I tried to repair him and it was going well. The only thing I had to do now was to set wings on and make some upgrades, and then he would be ready. The horn blew in the distance and I knew it was time for dinner. I could not miss it, because I hadn't eaten all day. So I ran up and when I sat down at Hephaestus's table I looked around and saw a new girl at Percy's table. The girl looked like she was fourteen, maybe she was just low, and she was pretty. And I could only see her back! Her hair was curly and as black as Percy's hair. Maybe she's Percy's half sister?
We ate our food and burnt some to our parents or whomever we burnt it to. I zoned out and fiddled with some metal. I then came back to the world when Mr. D said 'new camper'. The girls name is apparently Kori Thalassa. A very beautiful name.

At campfire sing-along Percy found me and asked me to show Kori around in camp. He had some sword lessons in the morning. I, of course, said yes. Time to get to know her and who her parent is, I didn't listen last night. So the next morning after we had eaten our breakfast I ran after Percy and Kori. They stopped at the arena.

"Percy, who is showing me around in Camp if you don't?" Kori asked.

"That would be me." I said when I stood behind Kori.

Kori turned around to look at me. She was a couple cm lower than me and she was stunning. Her eyes were the color of the sea with flecks of green. Her cheekbones were high and she was tan. Not as tan as Percy, but tan.

"Hello?" Oh shit, I thought I must have zoned out, when I looked at her again her eyes shone with curiosity and wariness. Percy stood behind her and smirked.

"Sorry, I'm back. Should we get going? See ya Fish-face," With Percy yelling 'Hey' after me we were off.

(Kori's POV)

Percy had woken me that morning. He had tickled me till I was awake.

"Get up, sis," I smiled stupidly when he said sis, "There is breakfast in ten," He said with a stupid smile. Like he couldn't believe I was real. He threw a bright orange t-shirt to me.

"Annabeth came with them earlier. Oh and she also came with a pair of shorts." He also threw them at me.

I took my brush and my clothes and walked to the bathroom. I took on my clothes brushed my teeth and my hair and braided it. Strands of hair were sticking out of the French braid everywhere.

IDoNotOwnAnything(Yet)YouWerentSupposedToHearThat

Percy and I walked to the mass hall, he said that he couldn't show me around in camp and he had gotten a friend to show me around instead. So after breakfast I followed him to an arena and asked him "Percy, who is showing me around in Camp if you don't?"

"That would be me." There was voice behind me. A cute boy around my height, maybe five-six cm higher, stood behind me. He had brown-black curly hair, he was a little dark in his skin tone and he had beautiful brown eyes. He had a mischievous smile and looked a little like an elf. He seemed to be staring at my eyes with a dazed look in his face. This made me a bit wary. Yes he seemed sweet enough, but my time at the orphanage has had influence at my openness and trust with new people.

"Hello?" He snapped out of his thoughts, or whatever he was doing staring at me.

"Sorry, I'm back. Should we get going? See ya Fish-face," I followed him and I heard Percy yell 'Hey' after us and I waved to him.

"Your name was Kori right?" He asked and I nodded. I never heard him introduce himself. Or did I hear it and forgot it while that squirrel ran behind him with something in its hands… paws… something? Anyway, I tilted my head questioning. He understood it, so yay I don't have to say anything yet.

"Leo Valdez. This is the Armory, here we all the weapons," He pointed to a metal shed.

We were now at what seemed like horse stables. But it wasn't horses.

"This is the stables. Everybody here should be able to ride them. Oh and them is pegasi," I giggled quietly and he just smiled at me," Up there we have the strawberry fields. We pick them and sell them to restaurants and Olympus. You wouldn't believe how much the gods love strawberries they're wild with them. I heard once that they practically forced some more strawberries out of Mr. D once."

We walked back and he showed me the arena, again, and all the cabins. Yesterday I hadn't had time to see all of the cabins, they were beautiful, even the black one with green fire and a skull over the door. It seemed like the shadows were everywhere around the cabin. It was easy enough to guess that it was Hades' cabin. After that Leo showed me the climbing wall, arts & craft and the lake were we sat at the dock and paused for a moment.

"How old are you?" He asked when we sat and looked at some campers making something in Arts & Craft.

"I turned fifteen yesterday. You?" I said quietly and looked at him with curiosity.

"Seventeen, a month ago. Wait, you said you had birthday yesterday. Did you get any presents?" He looked at me with curiosity shining from his elfish face.

" No," my voice was low and it said that the matter was closed. He looked at me again. He didn't say more; maybe he could feel that that matter was closed.

We sat in silence for a time. Leo sighed and stood up. He offered me a hand," Should we get going? There is a little left I want to show you," He said with an encouraging smile and I took it hesitantly.

We walked past the volleyball court where some athletic looking blond kids played with some satyrs. He stopped fifty meters from what looked like a locomotive fused together with a Greek temple.

"This… is the Camp forge. Here Hephaestus's children, my half-siblings, and some other campers make our weapons," He smile widely at the forge.

"After you, my lady," He bowed and gestured to the forge," This is the best part of the camp, so of course I will give you a VIP tour."

I smile weakly at his antics, he was actually fun. He was sometimes sarcastic and very energetic, but you could see that he was a little heartbroken and sad.

The inside of the forge was amazing. The white marble columns lining the walls were stained with soot. The people inside looked strong with calloused hands, but other than that they didn't look like each other.

"Hey Leo. Done with your secret project yet?" Asked a girl with cocoa-brown skin and dark brown hair tied back with a red bandana.

"Not yet Nyssa, but I'm close. Are you started on the mechanical cat you would make?" He asked the girl named Nyssa.

Nyssa shook her head and then looked at me and smiled," Hey aren't you the new girl Kori? Amphitrite's daughter?"

"Yeah," I said with a smile while looking around in the forge. I don't know how or why, but this Nyssa made me feel welcome in the forge. She almost radiated friendliness and warmth. A boy was working on a mechanical spider. Some of the others were making swords and shields," This place is so amazing."

Nyssa nodded and looked around," Yeah, it is pretty amazing. Why do you not come here before dinner, in the free period, and then Leo and I can teach you how to make a weapon and other mechanical things?" Leo looked baffled at Nyssa.

"That would be fantastic, is that okay with you Leo?" I looked expectantly at Leo.

"OK Kori, just be here around five, come on it's soon lunch," We could hear the horn and Leo smiled at me mischievously and then started running while yelling;" Race ya to the mass hall."

I shook my head and started to run after him.

There'llBeNoRestForTheWicked

That bastard was fast! He won against me with meters. And I had practice from all the times I had run from the girls in the orphanage,

I sat with Percy and told him about my tour. We ate and laughed at some things he told me about his first time he came to Camp.

"Hey, what do you say to practice your water powers after lunch?" asked Percy on our way up to the bonfire.

"That would be great. If I have water powers that is," how cool wouldn't it be if I had those powers? "Great. Maybe you can talk to water creatures and breath underwater like me. It would be so cool if you could."

Libra'sLikeToWinAndTendToManipulatePeopleSubconsciously

So after lunch we walked down to the beach. I was nervous. What if I couldn't do it and Percy got disappointed with me.
When we came down to the sea, it calmed me down. The waves, the calm, calm waves. My worry disappeared and I felt the sea's pull in me. I subconsciously took a step forward out in the water.

"Are you ready Kori?" Percy said softly behind me and I nodded, "Ok. Concentrate and use your will to make the water come up around you. When you feel a tug in your stomach you are doing it right."

I concentrated, and I felt a tug in my stomach. Then I raised my hands while forcing the water to be like a wall around me. I opened my eyes and saw the water around me. I could do it!
Then a thought came to me. Why not try something more? I lifted my hands above my hand and the water followed up and made a ball of water. My mind worked hard, and soon the water was in the form of Percy and me, hugging like brother and sister. All the details were there. My uneven, curly hair and his untidy hair. His sweet, yet a little broken, smile and my high cheekbones. It was fantastic.
I shifted the form and now it was Annabeth and him standing like in the picture on his nightstand. Arms around each other and both smiling like it was the best day of their life.

I let my arms fall and the water fell down on me. It was a fantastic feeling, having water all around you. But I could still feel how tired I was. My water figures in the air had pulled much on my powers and it felt like it burned a little inside me. When all the water was down again, I fell to my knees in the water. I heard splashing and someone kneeled beside me. It was Percy and he gave me some of that weird stuff he gave me at the museum,it still tasted like my father's blueberry muffins. (A/N What a surprise)

"How did you do that? The details were perfect, you have only seen Annabeth two or three times and you made her so detailed and… and real. You are an impressive little girl," Percy smirked at the last and I hit his shoulder," Hey, I'm not little." I mumbled sleepily, gods I was tired, but it didn't burn anymore. Maybe it was a little too much to do in a first try. Just maybe

"Okay, okay, you're not. Ready to try something else?" he had a mischievous glint in his eyes, but I could still see that they were a little broken. Where had he been? What happened? I shook my head. Later, I thought.

Let'sGoHaveFunYouAndMeInTheOldJeep

We swam.

And swam.

Deeper into the ocean.

We couldn't feel the pressure of the water.

We didn't need the air.

We were in our element.

The water.

Seals, fish and other sea creatures came over to us. They swam around us in a beautiful dance. Two sea-horse things came over to us.

What are these, I thought to myself while petting one.

Hippocampi, said Percy's voice in my head. I didn't think much of it, until after a few seconds. I whirled around and stared at Percy. He looked at me surprised.

Did we just talk together in our minds? He said to me through our link or whatever it was.

My Lord, My lady. Master Poseidon and Lady Amphitrite asked us to get you to the palace. A third voice said. It was feminine and came from a Hippocampus.

Percy looked confused then shrugged and mounted a Hippocampus.

We better do what they say, he said/thought to me.

At first I was weary of the creature in front of me, and then it came forward and touched my hand. It was like courage came from where it touched my hand. I mounted the hippocampus and we were off.

The hippocampi were fast. Very, very fast. We were at the palace in a few minutes.

What is your name? I asked the Hippocampus.

Andra, my lady. Now hurry, my masters don't like to wait, Andra answered through that weird telepathy link.

Andra was the Hippocampus talking to us earlier. She seemed sweet enough.

Come on Kori, were going to meet our parents, Percy thought to me enthusiastically.

Coming, I thought back to him.

He led me through a gait and through the castle until we were in front of a big marble like doors. They opened and inside were three thrones. None of them was occupied, but there stood three people in the middle of the room. Two of them, a man and a woman, were arguing and the third stood beside them and was shaking his head.

"Dad," Percy said as we were walking into the room. His voice sounded oddly enough normal, then why was he talking through a telepathy link earlier?

The man and woman froze and looked at us. The man looked like an older, higher version of Percy with a Bermuda shirt, and the woman she… she looked like me! She had long wavy hair down her back and a crown made of pearls and seashells, her skin were a pale green and her eyes were blue with flecks off green in them.

"Mom?" I whispered. (This would probably have been a very good cliffhanger, but I don't feel like it's the right place to do that)

Amphitrite looked at me with tearful eyes. She ran over to me and hugged me. I stiffened; I wasn't used to close contact without it being a slap, kick or punch. I was a couple of centimeters lower than her.

Someone coughed behind us and I felt Amphitrite stiffen and she backed away. The 'someone' was Poseidon. He looked awkwardly around the throne room.

Percy decided to break the awkward silence with a good question," Why are we here? Not that I aren't glad that you want to see us, but why?"

"I wanted to see Kori and give her a present," said Amphitrite. She straightened her ivory, knee length Greek-ish dress. She looked over at Poseidon and he took the hint and left with Percy.

Now that we were the only one in the throne room I took a good look at it. It was made mainly in abalone and pearls and fishes and sharks came in through the windows and out through another. The young man still stood (or swam) in the throne room. He had green skin and black hair like Percy in a ponytail. Where his legs should have been, were there two fishtails.

"Kori, come over here," my mom called and I swam over to her and the fish man," you've gotten higher since I last saw you, haven't you? Oh you almost look like a proper woman, maybe if you got rid of that t-shirt and shorts and wore a dress instead." Mom snapped her fingers and a warm green light surrounded me for a moment. When it was gone I looked down at myself and I saw the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. It was a sea green dress with one shoulder and a blue waist band. And my hair was in a beautiful braid over my shoulder. My necklace got shinier and I could feel something on my head. I reached up and took down a tiara made of pearls and seashells. It was beautiful!
I must have gaped at it in a long time, because my mom chuckled and took it from my hands and placed it on my head again.

"You look absolutely stunning agapi̱ménos," My mom said.

"Thanks mom," I whispered, looking down and blushed. I wasn't used to getting complements.

Mom waved the man with fishtails over," Kori I don't think you have been introduced to your brother Triton."

"Hello Kori," he said. Triton took something out off a bag and gave it to me," I, erm… made this for you. It was you birthday yesterday, right?"

The present were wrapped in what looked like seaweed, but it didn't feel like seaweed. It felt paper-ish. I opened it and inside was a little box. I opened the box and inside that was the most beautiful cuff armlet I had seen. It was of silver and of that weird blue metal. The blue metal was used to make waves in it and in the middle were a hole with a beautiful grey moonstone there, when angled right, had rainbow-ish flecks of color.

"Thanks Triton, I really don't know what to say," I had tears in my eyes and I ran over and gave him a hug. Triton stiffened first, but then awkwardly hugged me back. It was nice. I had trust issues, but here in the water with some family, it seemed like I had never been in the orphanage.

"Try to touch the moonstone," he said. I did and a double edged silver sword was in my hand. It was beautiful and it had the same wave pattern the cuff had. The moonstone sat in the hilt of the sword. I touched the stone again and the cuff sat on my arm," When the time is right it will have a third appearance," he added.

I could hear something whispering in my mind, a name, mageía. Just like when my trident and bow got named.

"Now it's my turn to give you your 15th birthday gift. I got help from a Cyclops to make it. I think his name was Tyson."

My mom gave me another box wrapped in that seaweed-paper. Inside that box was another armlet, this formed as an arrow. It was of bronze.

"The armlet will become a quiver of bronze arrows. There will always be arrows, so don't be afraid of running out of arrows," mom took the armlet out off the box and gave me it on," Now come on agapi̱ménos, I want to get to know my daughter."

AThousandSilhouettesDancingOnMyChest

Mom showed me around the palace and we talked mostly about me, but also about how it was to be queen of the sea. We laughed and we had fun. When we came to a beautiful little garden I finally got enough courage to ask what had been on my mind in a long time.

"Mom, why did you even get me?" Mom sighed.

"I hoped you never would ask, but you got my curiosity. Poseidon had kept moping around because he missed Sally Jackson. I have met her on different occasions, she's a good person and I actually like her, but when Poseidon was speaking about her and how he missed her I got mad.
We had an argument, I ran out and ended up in Manhattan, there I met your father. He couldn't see through the mist. He was friendly and made me happy, took me out for a few drinks, and I forgot where I was after a few strong. And the next morning I woke up in a bed beside him. After you were born I kept coming back to him, he was the sweetest, and I loved him, but I still loved Poseidon more. So after two years I didn't come back anymore, but I saw what happened. When he started hitting you I send a hint to the police and they sat you in that orphanage," Amphitrite sat down on a bench and I sat down beside her and looked at the garden. I took the tiara down again and looked at it again.

"Why did you give me this?" I asked.

"Because agapi̱ménos, it is for the firstborn daughter we had. Poseidon was never clear if he meant a demigod or goddess. Since Poseidon never got a daughter, and since you are the first daughter of the sea there isn't a naiad, you got it. The tiara can appear as a circlet, alike to the one the lieutenant of Artemis's have. It can also be invisible at your will," She looked affectionately at me, and then up at the surface," It seems like the clock soon is five, I believe you have an appearance to make in the camp-forges."

"Shit! I forgot about that! Leo is going to kill me! I gotta go mom, see you." I called to over my back as I swam as fast as I could up to the surface. Andra came at some point and helped me. If I had looked back at my mom I would have noticed the smirk she wore and the twinkle in her eyes.

TellHerIMissOurLittleTalks

A/N There you have it, she finally met her mother and Triton. She will see them more. It has been awhile hasn't it my lovelies? The summer break is over and I have been going to school in two weeks (three? I can't remember) but here I am. I feel like I should apologize, but I won't.
The songs I have used to the line breaks is 'Fireflies' with Owl City, 'No rest for the wicked' with Lykke Li, 'Fun' with Troye Sivan from his EP TRXYE, 'Silhouettes' and 'Little talks' with Of monsters and men. I really like these songs, so go check them out.
There will probably go awhile before the next chapter is out. I'm lazy, just so you know.
I have seen a series named 'Sherlock' and I absolutely love it, maybe it is because of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I recommend you to see it.

The Greek words 'agapi̱ménos' and 'mageía' means 'sweetheart' and 'magic'

Till the next time,
