Percy went out before noon to see who would be the champion for the agents of kronos. There was a boy he looked to be the same age as Percy with blonde hair. He looked pretty strong and he figured this would be a pretty evenly matched fight.
Finally the time for the battle had arrived. Percy was observing his surroundings. He could see that the army of kronos had come out to watch the fight, but they also looked like they were preparing to attack at any time. Very few of the campers came to watch Percy they were all resting or recovering from wounds. But the son of Ares came, and he also saw Fabor coming into the clearing. That painfully reminded him of the girl that he would never get to see again.
Percy uncapped riptide, and at the same time his opponent flipped a coin, which turned into a sword. Percy reacted as this demigod moved swiftly swinging at Percy's legs. Percy blocked and responded with an attack of his own, but his opponent was quick and countered the attack with a thrust towards percy's stomach. This guy was good, and he was an experienced fighter. He was holding out better than Percy. Neither had drawn blood, but Percy barely raised his blade in time to block the sword coming towards him. He could see that this boy's style was unlike any he had ever seen, and the material of his blade was different as well. Percy used his power over water to thrust a wave at his opponent. This gave him time to ask a question. "I have never seen your form of fighting before. Where did you learn to fight?"
The demigod responded by sending a bolt of lightning at Percy. Then he leapt into the air and he soared towards Percy.
Wow, was he flying? That was impressive. His mind was traveling fast, "You're not the first demigod that I've seen with the ability to produce lightning, but you're the first to fly. You must be a son of Zeus, I had a friend who was also a child of Zeus, her name was Thalia."
Watching the guys eyes he saw that his words had an effect on him. He saw that this triggered rage in the kid, which is exactly what Percy wanted, but he didn't think it would be that easy.
Because of his anger Percy knew every attack before the guy would make it. The guy was also reckless and would expend too much energy with each blow. Now Percy just needed to keep him reckless, keep this guy mad.
"I understand. If I found out that I wasn't the only child of Posiedon I might be a little upset too, but really it shouldn't matter to you that Zeus had a daughter over a hundred years ago, Its not like she influenced any of your decisions."
This kid was angry and annoyed. He willed the sky to get dark. It started raining. " First of all, I'm no son of Zeus. I'm a son of Jupiter, I make no association with you greeks. I'm roman. Second you have no right to talk about Thalia, when it was your people that killed her."
This kid must have missed the part where I'm a son of Poseidon. The rain was reenergizing him. Still he wasn't sure if he'd heard right, Jupiter? Roman? But instead he asked, "My people?"
"I was there, I saw when your people surrounded her body and didn't even have the mercy to let me bury her."
"You're probably what fifteen? You must be mixing Thalia up with someone else. She was one of my best friends, and she was greek."
"I have drunk in the fountains of eternal youth. Thalia was my sister and your people killed her."
He began watching the boy's eyes to detect a lie. This boy at least thought he was telling the truth. He saw the boy tense as he lunged towards Percy. He parried and ripost with a maneuver of his own. He hit the boy in the shoulder.
"I didn't know Thalia for very long but we went on a quest together and I got to know her pretty well. Before that I'd heard stories of her. There was never any talk of having a brother. "
Their effort on the fight was waning and Percy could see that his audience was losing interest which was somewhat of a bad thing. He needed their focus on the fight so they wouldn't attack the camp.
He created a sea with him and the kid in it. "What's your name?"
This man shot was radiating with electricity. He responded, "Jason Grace."
There began to be a rhythm to their battle. Now he knew who this boy was there was a good chance that he had some relation to Thalia, but he had no idea what it would be. Percy instantly dissolved all the water, sending both him and Jason crashing to the ground. Note to self: next time don't dissolve the water underneath your feet. He got up and created a mini earthquake. Jason started running towards Percy and he was running on air towards Percy. He swung downward and this time Percy wasn't fast enough. He was stabbed in the leg. He decided to talk some more about Thalia. "I think that you only know half the story. Unfortunately you know more than I do, but I know someone who was there when it all happened. She could tell you about the events leading up to her death and the events that followed it as well. If her story has some parallels to your own then she must be telling the truth. To be honest I have a hard time believing your story except that I can see your telling the truth. You are clearly a good fighter, almost as good as me. Let's fake your death and you can learn the true story. I swear on the river sticks that you will not be harmed.
So Jason is the enemy demigod. I have one more enemy that I am debating including in the story. It was actually my original enemy for the story besides Kronos, but I have been debating where to put it in. Let me know what you think.
