Okay here is the next chapter. Please review and enjoy!

After dinner, Thalia showed me the cabin I had to stay in. It was a simple cabin, the picture of the owl and the armory were about the only decorations. I got a bottom bunk in the corner, which I put my clothes in the trunk in front of it.

I went to the armory with both Thalia and Jason, Annabeth and Percy in front of us. Annabeth walked confidently, while Percy hung back. She opened the door and started rummaging through one of the piles of swords inside, muttering to herself. All around the armory were swords and weapons hung on the walls. Bows and quivers filled with arrows sat in one corner in different sizes. She walked back to us as Thalia leaned against the door frame and Jason shoved his hands in his pockets. She held a sword, its blade made of a bronze substance. It seemed as long as my arm to my elbow, its blade glimmering in the sunlight from the door and windows. She handed it to me. "Its blade is made of Celestial Bronze, to kill monsters quickly and easily." I held it in my right hand, the hilt fitting comfortably in my palm. Surprisingly, when I lifted the sword it was light, not heavy like steel but as light as styrofoam.

Thalia unglued herself from the wall. "It's perfect for you, Janus." She looked at the blade, the celestial bronze shining in my hand.

"I don't think I want a sword though. A dagger, maybe?" Jason glanced at Thalia, who looked towards Annabeth, and shrugged.

"She can have a sword and a dagger, right?" Thalia asked Annabeth. Annabeth thought for a moment, and Percy watched her intently from the other side of the armory.

She nodded. "Yeah, it would actually help you if you lose your sword. You will be prepared and have another weapon." She rummaged through the swords before bringing out a celestial bronze dagger, glinting at the same time as the sword did. Thalia handed me a scabbard which I tied to my side as Annabeth walked up with the dagger and a small scabbard. "This is the twin for the sword you have. It was a set in battle from before the time of Troy. Sarpedon, a hero of Troy, used these weapons against the greeks. Now they are yours." She let me hole the dagger in my right hand and she held the scabbard, letting me turn the light dagger that shined as the sword did, twins of the same smith. It was perfect, the hilt also fitting in my palm. I didn't know who Sarpedon was, but he must've been a great hero.

She passed me the hilt and I sheathed the dagger, tying it to my waist on my right. "Thank you Annabeth, we wanted to help her get a weapon if there was any trouble, but you are a natural." Thalia said as Jason walked out first, the rest of us, Percy trailing behind, followed.

Annabeth shook her head. "It was my pleasure." She turned to me as the others started to walk away. She leaned in and whispered in my ear, which made me shiver as I remembered when Astraeus did it to me. "I hope Astraeus likes your new toys, so you two can play together." I felt myself gasp, but she was already walking away to the inside of the cabin.

"Janus." Thalia was right beside me. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. "Are you okay?" She placed her right hand on my left shoulder, easing the tension a bit.

How did Annabeth know about Astraeus? It's not like I told anyone about my vision or dream or whatever. She was acting really strange, and then she drops his name on me as well, making me feel the weight more than before. I had to find out more about what was going on with her.

"I'm fine." I answer, and we walked away together, her hand on my shoulder as I shoved mine in the pockets of my jeans as we caught up to the guys.


I walked back to the Athena cabin as everyone went to their cabins before curfew. I went to my bunk and fell on top of it. I felt tired, but sleep wouldn't come. I laid there for hours, and I almost fell asleep, but then I was pinned to my bed, a hand covering my mouth.


me: I know that was short, not even 1 thousand words, but it was a quick write. Jasmin doesn't tell all of her secrets at once you know.

Jasmin: They don't.

me: What?

Jasmin: I said they don't know that. All they know is what you tell them.

Thalia:Yeah, that's true.

Annabeth: I second that as a fact.

me: Aww come on. Don't gang up on me because I can't remember everything.

Thalia: Who said we were?

Percy: *Laughing silently*

me: *groans*

It will take me longer to update now that I have to write new stuff, but bear with me please, I have to update for three and will update for four after the next one I have comes out. Please review!
