Thanks for the reviews

If you have any suggestions don't hesitate to tell me in a review

"Well first we have to upgrade that sword I gave you and maybe get you a second weapon to fall back on." Zoe said

"OK but how are do we upgrade Riptide?"

"Hand it to me"

I pulled out my pen and handed it to her.

"Now we do this"

What she did next broke my heart and my sword into pieces.

Her arms grew beautiful white and silver scales. Her fingers elongated and grew claws that looked sharp as razors. She then proceeded to swing at her own arm with so much force that the air around us grew hot and whistle. As soon as the sword came into contact with the scales on her left arm it shattered. Once the deed was done was done she gave me back the hilt which still had a little bit of celestial bronze still on it but not much.

I know that she had a plan and all, but me and that sword have a long history and it's saved me so many times I've grown attached to it.

Zoe seemed to notice that I wasnt exactly happy about riptides current conditions.

"It's okay Percy, Riptide is still there. I just broke it's Blade, the enchant that makes it return to you is in the hilt. That means it's still tied to you and will always comeback to you."

I nodded despondently.

"Ill put Riptide back together better and stronger Percy. I promise just trust me."

"I trust you Zoe, it's just that me and Riptide have been through so much. It's kinda sad to see it like this, you know? "

"I know Percy, but we can fix it and make it better just follow me."

We walked outside and headed back towards the huge volcano we came from.

Once we got there Zoe stopped.

"Our destination is behind this Volcano Percy" Zoe said excitedly

"And where exactly are we going?"

"Well we have to go and choose which kind of metal you want for your weapons."

"Cool, what kind of metals are there?"

"You'll see when we get there."

We finally got around the volcano and I was once again shocked by what I saw. The was nothing but huge trees everywhere. These trees were at least 2 times taller than a redwood tree. They had white bark and gold leaves.

"Why is this island so colorful"

"I don't know it was like this when my people got here. "

We continued walking for a while and eventually we reached a small cave entrance that seemed barely talk enough for me to walk through.

We entered and began to walk for what seemed like only a few seconds before we ended up at a large iron door.

"A door? "

"Yes that's a door" Zoe said with a smirk on her face

"No I mean... never mind."

Zoe giggled and pushed the door open. Behind the door was a large hexagon shaped room made of black stones. 6 alters were at different corners of the room with all kinds of glowing rocks, metals, or whatever they were. In the middle of the room there was an empty cauldron.

"Okay Percy we're here. Now all you have to do is choose a one of these metals for riptide and one for your other weapon."

"Do I just pick any two?"

"Pick the ones that call out to you. You'll now what I mean when go up to them."

"Okay let's see..." I looked around the room and decided to start at the one closest to the door and work my way around.

The metal in the first alter was red and looked more like a large rock. It lacked any luster and seemed kinda dull.

"That's blood metal. When forged into a weapon and bonded to its host the blood of its victims empower it, making the user more physically powerful the longer they're in battle. "

"I think I'll pass. This kinda metal is probably something someone like Ares would like, but not me."

I walked over to the next metal. It was rose-gold colored and shined alot.

"That is sanguine gold. This metal, although very beautiful, has dark powers aswell. Once this weapon has slain its target, the corpse of that target will serve as an ally until the user dismisses it. "

"Okay...definitely not that one"

The next metal was pure white and was kind of hard to look at. It's also seemed to be emitting slot of heat.

"That is dawn metal. It's abilities match that of the sun. Once bonded it can glow so bright that even god's would go blind if they look for more than a second. It can also heat up till it can slice through its target like a hot knife through butter or leave them covered in white flames. ."

"Okay that's pretty damn cool but its not really my style. "

"Your turning down something this powerful because of style?"

"I would look ridiculous with a white sword , black hair, and green eyes. Also I'm a son of Poseidon, that means I prefer water miss nightshade. I'll think about it though."

Zoe looked at me with a look of utter disbelief ,shook her head, then just motion for me to continue.

The next metal was blacker than black and seemed to be moving like water. It's seemed to almost hum at me when I got close to it.

"Whats this one"

"This is dusk metal. It's the exact opposite of dawn metal. This metal behaves like water. Very sharp and powerful water. It also has the ability to freeze whatever it cuts with black ice. "

"I like this one... alot"

"I'm not surprised. You're affinity for all things aquatic made this one a very predictable choice."

We moved on to the next metal which was grey in color. Like the first metal this one lacked luster. It honestly looked like a basic rock to me.

"This one looks like a rock Zoe"

"That's cause that is a rock. "

"What?"

"The metal that was previously here was used for my weapons."

"Can I see it?"

Without responding Zoe pulled of a ring that I hadn't noticed on her finger. As she pulled it off it expanded into a small shield that was silver in color and shined brightly. Then she pulled out a hair pin from her hair and it elongated into a matching spear that had a glowing white tip.

"They're beautiful."

She examined her own weapons with a smile other face.

"Yes I they are. They're made of Valkyrie metal. There powers are limited but what they lack in varietyvthey make up for in quality. The spear when thrown explodes on impact and immediately returns to me. The shield makes a small bubble barrier around me that is almost impenetrable and lasts for about 5 minutes. The shield also returns back to me when thrown but it doesn't explode."

"That's so fucking badass can I watch you throw it after we're done!"

"After you get your weapons I'll think about it. "

"Okay but you've got to let me use it in. fight one day"

"Just the spear?"

"Yeah I don't really like shields. They just slow me down. "

She nodded and we proceeded to the next metal. This one looked like really clear glass.

"That's purity glass. This metal can fight without the user wielding it. And since it's almost perfectly clear it's very difficult to see. Nothing can stain it. "

"Seems boring"

"How is that boring!"

"I don't know it just is"

"You have very strange tastes"

"I guess i do"

We moved on to the next metal. This looked plain bronze in color. This one also seemed to hum at me.

"This metal is gravity metal."

"Are you going to tell me what it does. "

"Ever seen the avengers?"

"Yes"

"It's like Thor's hammer without the lightning and it's super heavy once it's bonded to the user ,it can cause earthquakes with one swing and can even slightly control gravity around the user. Only you can lift it"

"I think I know which metalmetals I want to use. "

"Then grab the ones that speak to you hero. "

Obviously I grabbed the two that hummed at me. Then I grabbed the white one.

"I said for you to pick two. "

"Yeah but you mixed metals on your spear. The white tip is what makes it explode and the Valkyrie medal makes it return to you and gives the shield it barrier abilities. You used dawn metal for the spear tip."

"I see you are very observant Percy. Fine you can mix some of the dawn metal with one of your weapons."

"Awesome!"

"So what are you going to restore riptide with?"

I took a moment to consider it.

"Definitely the dusk metal."

"And for your other weapon?"

I began thinking about all the weapon could use. Another sword would be cool and double my effectiveness but I don't see a sword made of gravity and dawn metal being very good. Maybe something blunt?

A Warhammer? Too bulky

A club? No that's a Heracles thing

I got it!

"I want them to be made into knuckle dusters. " I said with a smile on my face

"Knuckle dusters? "

"Absolutely"

"Why?"

"I've always wanted to get into hand-to-hand combat. And being able to punch explosions and the force of an earthquake would be awesome. "

"Okay Percy. If that's what you want. Hand me the metals and riptides handle. I will deliver your weapons to the blacksmith and they'll be done in about 3 days. "

"I can't wait."

"Oh and one more thing"

Zoe then changed her arms back into their dragon form again and slashed at my hand so fast that my brain barely registered what she did.

I recoiled back and held my hand

"What the hell Zo"

"I need blood for the weapon bonding. Stop being such a baby"

She pulled out a small empty vial and collected a few drops of blood from my hand.

"Now while go and deliver this to the blacksmith I want you to go back to my home and get some rest."

She began walking away towards the exit and I followed. Once we got outside she scared the hell out me by growing huge white and silver scaled wings. Under the scales were grey and white feathers that you could barely see. She flapped her wings once and shot up into the air. Then she looked down at me a smiled before flying toward the volcano we originally came from.

As I watched her fly away I couldn't help but smile the whole way back to her home.

So this chapter three. For some reason this chapter is bothering me. I feel like I did something wrong on this one. IDK maybe I'm just paranoid. Anyways I hope you liked it even if I didn't.
