Percy and Annabeth lead me to the forges, and they show me a variety of weapons. I knew that the dagger I used earlier was unbalanced. I pick up many swords and daggers, before I see a silver dagger with a feather design on the hilt.
"How about that one?" I walk over and pick it up. It has swirls of bronze and gold inside the silver blade. It's small enough to be considered a throwing knife.
"I don't know Allagy, that's really small. Even I don't use one that small." Annabeth says.
I hold it for a bit longer, and I feel how it fits in my hand almost perfectly. Then, it seems to hum almost. I can almost hear the dagger whispering that it is the one dagger made for me.
"What is it? I thought Celestial Bronze was, well, bronze." I ask.
"It is mainly silver, but it has Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold imbedded into it. There is also a bit of Stygian Iron in there. No one likes the feel of it. It's considered the most dangerous weapon in the forgery." Annabeth answers.
"I think I'll take it." I say as I slide it back into the sheath and I tie it around my waist.
"Okay, next, we are going to test your fighting abilities." Annabeth brings me to the arena.
"So, what are you best at?" Percy takes over.
"I am best at hand-to-hand combat, decent at archery, and good with a knife." I answer.
"Okay. CLARRISSSEEE!" He screams. Crap. I don't want to fight her again.
"Prissy? What is going on?" She walks in with her goons.
"You are the best at hand-to-hand combat, and I need you to test Allagy." Percy tells her.
"It would be my pleasure." She hisses as she gets ready. I can already tell her weakness is clumsiness. She shifts to the right, then to the left, and then lunges forward. I dodge, and I grab her arm, and I flip her onto the ground.
"Wow. 12 seconds." Percy says in disbelief. "Okay, add in." He waves to Clarrise's friends, and they step forward. I let Clarrise go, and I fight three people. About 2 minutes later, I win. I read their minds, and I know all of their main moves.
I hear the conch horn sound, and I run over to grab my food, and I eat in my treehouse.
Percy IMs me, and he calls me to the campfire. I fly over, and I sit on top of a pillar behind the amphitheater, so that I can watch. I fly down once a seat opens up. All of a sudden, everyone gasps and stares at me.
"What?!" I snap, not liking the attention. Percy points above me, and I look up. I see a lightning bolt, and two torches that are crossed.
"Allagy Paraskina. Please step up here." Chiron calls me. I don't like the sound of this. I fly down, and then everyone kneels.
"All hail Allagy Paraskina, daughter of Lord Zeus and Lady Hecate." Chiron announces. Everyone stands up and cheers.
"What?! I thought a demigod was half mortal and half god!" I exclaim in confusion. As soon as I said that, two balls of light float down, and two people step forward. Everyone kneels again.
"Lord Zeus," Chiron nods. "Lady Hecate."
"Hello Chiron. This must take some explaining, shouldn't it?" Hecate says.
"I was a test tube baby! How can two immortals be my parents?!" I yell in confusion.
"Well, Allagy is our child. The Fates, however, said that she must be made a demigod for there is a dangerous event that isn't clear coming up. So, we let the Fates take her, but we couldn't watch her grow up. When she escaped, I saw what the Fates had put her through. We convinced the Fates to give her a home, and she eventually found Camp." Zeus booms.
"Train her hard. She also has responsibilities in the city of Manhattan too. That will serve as training also." Hecate adds.
"Farewell Daughter, and good luck." Zeus waves his hand, and they start to glow.
"ALLAGY CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Annabeth bellows, and I close them just in time. I am still seeing black spots as I open my eyes again.
"Allagy Paraskina. Choose where you wish to stay. With your mother's side, or your father's side?" Chiron asks me.
"Uhh, father's side?" I say.
"Very well. I will have Thalia Grace show you your cabin." Chiron gestures to a group of people in silver, then I notice it was made of only girls.
"Everyone! Curfew is coming close! Capture the flag is four days away, so plan!" Chiron clops away to the Big House. I see a punk girl with a pixie cut, electric blue eyes, a silver parka and camo pants, and a silver circlet.
"Hey sis." She hugs me.
"Hello, Thalia?" I respond.
"Yep. It's nice having a sister rather than just an annoying brother." She leads me to the grand cabin at the front of the pavilion.
"So, this is the Zeus Cabin. Cabin one. I don't sleep here often, since the Hunters and I sleep either in the woods, or Cabin 8. You can take my old spot if you want. It's the only place here out of the gaze of dad." She points at the statue. It does look pretty scary.
"So, do I have to sleep here?" I ask.
"Nah, you kind of have a free pass, since you are the daughter of the King of the Sky." She replies.
"Cool, because I may not sleep here. I have a place in the forest." I say.
"Awesome. I might recommend you to Lady Artemis. If you ever need anything while the Hunters are at camp, we camp around Zeus's Fist. It's a pile of rocks that look like a fist in the forest." She walks out, and I follow her.
"Well, good night Thalia." I say as I turn left.
"Good night Allagy." She keeps walking.
I can't believe what just happened. I got claimed. I am so happy to be out of the Hermes Cabin! Not like I was there anyways, but still. I can eat in peace! No one trying to steal my sandwiches or other things. I settle into my sleeping bag, and I fall asleep fast.
Heyyyy! Definitely a bit on the shorter side, but I needed a way to focus on the claiming. As a bonus, here's her profile I whipped up in the car!
