Time Skip: 5 years later-Percy Pov

I'm so excited because today I finally get to start my real training. Over the past five years I have practically been on my own, other than Artemis. I managed to avoid most of the huntresses, waking up before sunrise to start my daily training routines and eating whatever scraps were left over from meals. Not the V.I.P. treatment by far, but I can't complain. Since I started training with Artemis we learned a couple of things. I'm stronger and faster than most demigods, but it seems that I didn't inherit any of my birth mothers gifts like charm speaking, but I do have this random silver glow that does random thing like make me even faster or sends out a shockwave thing that hurts others. Artemis and Apollo managed to seal most of these away because they were becoming a liability. The only thing I seem to manage to be able to control is a bright silver flash when I'm mad or frightened.

"Perseus, are you ready to meet your new sparring partner?" Artemis asked.

"Why aren't you going to train me anymore? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, you need someone that can consistently train you and I am too busy with my duties. I've decided to put my lieutenant Zoe in charge of you sword play training for now. Me and Apollo has been talking and it is probably best if you keep you powers a secret. I have to go to Olympus now, she will be here any moment to train you." Artemis then teleported away.

"So much for goodbye," Percy mumbled lowly.

"Your lucky she's so nice to you. What did you do to get her to accept you boy?" said a hunter walking in my tent. She had long hair tied up in a braid and beautiful obsidian eyes.

"Didn't anyone tell you to knock before entering? I could have been naked in here."

"I heard you talking to milady, now answer my question."

"I've saw her everyday almost for the past 5 years. I guess it's easier to be on somewhat friendly terms than to spend that much time hating one another."

"Okay, I can believe that. Just know, I'm not taking it easy on you just because she grew a soft spot. Grab your sword and meet me in the clearing you and milady usually practice. I want to see what you know. Bring whatever armor you want, you'll need it," she said with a smug tone then walked out.

"I'll show her something, you don't just train with a goddess for 5 years and not learn a trick or two," he then grabbed his sword for the first time since he took it from the armory all those years back and put it on a sheath on his side and put the silver xiphos in a sheath on his back that the hilt faced downwards and it locked in where it didn't fall to the ground. He then put on his silver cloak that Artemis gave him for his twelfth birthday 2 months ago. He stepped outside and inhaled the cold November air, making his way toward the clearing. When he arrived Zoe look at his quite surprised of his attire but said nothing. She took a quick lunge with a celestial bronze blade that Percy rolled out the way. He then took his own sword and deflected the flurry of strikes that quickly followed. He stayed on the defensive trying to wear Zoe out, but quickly noticed that the seasoned hunter was far to experience for this to work. She jumped back and quickly drew her bow, firing off two quick arrows. "I though I was learning sword play?" Percy shouted annoyed.

"I need to test your limits boy, you must always be prepared for anything," she replied.

"Two can play at this game then," Percy said drawing his hidden sword from it's sheath and deflecting arrows away from himself. Zoe then pulled out a silver hunting knife, drawing her sword again, lunging forward once again. This time she attacked at full speed, slowly pushing Percy back. Percy began to panic, knowing he couldn't last much longer. Seeing an opportunity, he stepped into Zoe's guard giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. Zoe became furious at this causing her to attack more furiously, and making more mistakes. Percy became overwhelmed once again, but began to notice that Zoe was over extending with her sword strikes in her anger. He sidestepped a jab and knocked the hilt of his sword into her sword hand's wrist, causing her to drop her blade. He put his blade to her throat just as he felt her knife at the small of his back.

"Well done Percy, maybe there's hope for you yet," came the distant praise of Artemis. "I'm disappointed that you let your anger get the best of you Zoe, he obviously wanted you to become sloppy so he could exploit your mistakes easier. You never even noticed in your rage that he had all his weight leaned forward, a simple pull would have took him off his feet. You both have much to learn from each other. Zoe, Percy can help you keep your emotions in check. Perseus, Zoe can help you improve your speed and agility even further than it is. So meet each of your new instructors. Zoe will teach Perseus in the mornings, while he will teach you at night. You both will also be sent to camp until you either manage to master your given skill, or work as a tightly knitted duo. You both will leave tomorrow. Zoe, you are dismissed. Inform the hunt where you will be for the upcoming period of time. Perseus, walk with me for a while.

"What do you need Lady Artemis?"

"I would like to attempt to help you with your powers. I have temporarily took the block off for right now. When you use your power, where do you feel it coming from?"

"It starts as a burning sensation in the palm of my hand, but it spreads throughout my body quickly after."

"Now Percy, I want you to focus on the burning in your palm and imagine a ball of energy in your hand." Percy's hand began to glow and sure enough, a silver ball of energy appeared. "Now try to channel the energy into your sword. It should be able to contain your extra power, preventing any unwanted usages. Now go get some rest. I will leave the seal off, but only practice this power in secret. If any other god or goddess discovers you using it they will report you to father or worst, try to make you their slave. I have faith that you will do great things one day. Goodnight Percy," she then teleported back to her chariot.

"She said goodnight," thought Percy. "I wonder what camp will be like. Goodnight Artemis... goodnight Zoe."
