On to the story

Zeus pov.

"I CANT JUST KILL HIM!" I yelled storm clouds forming around New York City. "You don't have to," a voice said I'm the dark,"He will kill him self or that daughter of Apollo will kill him in jealousy."

"maybe." I said. "But if he goes on a quest he could easily die by one of the reachers." The voice said. "Capture Artemis send him on a quest and make sure he dies."

I nodded nervously as sweat trickled down my face. "I will be ready soon Zeus be ready." Then everything was quiet.

Thomas pov.

I sat down at the Persues table that was facing the Aphrodite table. I nervously glanced up to see all the girls staring at me. Next to my table was Poseidon so me and Josh just sat at the end of the table by each other.

"Dude why are all the hot girls staring at you?" Josh complained. "Maybe because they think your gay." I scanned the tables. "Ah you have some Athena girls looking at you," I stated eating my blue pancakes.

"More like glaring at me," he mumbled eating some scrambled eggs. My dad announced that Poseidon, Aphrodite, Ares, and Persues cabins have sword training together. He winked at me and announced the other stuff that was going to happen this week but I wasn't paying attention.

I was turning a silver coin with a bow on one side and tomahawk on the other side through my fingers. It had come with a note only saying 2 words. Love Mom. Who the hell is my mom?

"Wanna head to the arena?" I asked Josh. "We don't have to be there for another hour," he stated. "I know but wanna go?" I asked. "Why?" I sighed and showed him the coin. "I gotta figure out what this does," I whispered. He nodded then said," After breakfast."

Time skip.

"What if it's just a coin?" Josh asked. "Doubtful," I responded. "Well it doesn't look so harmful," he said looking at the silver coin. "But what happens when you flip it?" A voice behind me asked.

I turned around on one heel and saw a drop dead gorgeous girl. Nice long black hair her eyes where changing colors every second it seemed. "And you are?" Josh asked. The girl smiled showing perfect teeth sparkling white. Then it hit me. A daughter of Aphrodite.

"I'm Taylor," she responded. "O.K. Taylor why should he flip the coin?" Josh asked. "Because it might turn into a weapon of some sort," she replied flipping a bronze coin for a smaller version of Riptide come out. "Ok Thomas I think you should flip the coin," Josh said.

"Josh," I replied. "Yeah man?" "Do you know how to shut up I was about to flip the coin," I said. He nodded and took a step back gesturing for me to go on. I twirled the coin through my fingers before flicking it up in the air. I watched as the coin spun down at me and into my hand.

It transformed into a full on tomahawk with a silver and bronze edge. "Well thats not fair," Josh said," Does everyone get a cool weapon but me?" Just then the air smelled like Saltwater and a click pen was at Josh's feet.

"Uh thanks dad," he murmured picking it up. He clicked the pen and a trident appeared next to him. "Dang this think is huge!" Josh exclaimed. It got quiet for a second and me and Josh stained at eachother.

"THATS WHAT SHE SAID!" We exclaimed at the same time. We chuckled a bit and then there was a cough from behind us. "Still here," Taylor said rolling her eyes at us. "Uh sorry," I said growing the tomahawk in the air catching it back as a coin. "Thanks I'm Thomas," I said holding out my hand.

She shook it and looked at Josh. "Hey I'm Josh," he said winning and holding out his hand. She looked at his hand and shook one of his fingers. Josh raised an eyebrow and Taylor looked back at me. "Your the guy that won the capture the flag game for us," she stated.

"Uh yeah I had some help," I replied looking at the scar in the palm of Josh's hand. We talked more as other people started entering the arena. She was from Vermont and her dad was a wealthy lawyer. But she hated him because he was a stuck up ass that didn't care about her. Always blaming her that she was the reason Aphrodite left.

"My mom was an alcoholic," Josh replied," She would lock me in my room when she drank. But she always got in... Always." I put my hand on his shoulder. "What did she do to you?"Taylor asked.

Josh turned around and lifted his shirt showing scars. "First it was a belt," he started. Then he turned back around lifting up his shirt. "Then it was the knives," he continued. He was nearing tears and I knew it. He pulled up the right side of his shirt. "Then it was a gun," he finished.

"Luckily you survived and you got to move in with your pal!" I exclaimed changing the subject. "CAMPERS!" Chiron announced. "Sword tournament! Pick a partner and you will face off 2v2 till there are only 2 remains." I smiled and followed josh to put armor on.

I just put on some light leather while Josh put on full body armor. "Your going to be fine take that off," I informed him. "No you'll be fine but I will take my helmet off," he said.

I chuckled as we met are first aponents. 2 Ares kids. "See I told you this is going to be easy." His eyes widened at me. "We are dead,"he said. "Just stay behind me." I said uncapping Riptide.

I briefly heard Chiron saying we could start. The battle crys echoed around the arena. The Ares kids came at me and Josh in one movement. "Josh slid under one of there legs!" I ordered. He nodded as we ran towards them. Josh slid under one of there legs and I flipped over them spinning in the air and kicking them in the back.

The ares kids turned around and glared at us. "Your dead Jackson," one said. "Let's see," I answered back.

They charged as I pushed Josh back and attacked them. They didn't land one blow on me as I kicked one in the face disarming the other and hitting him with the hilt of my blade. One struggled to get up as Jsoh kicked him back down. "You where right that was easy," Josh said twirling his sword.

"Who's next?" I asked. "Them," Josh said pointing at two 17 year old children of Ares. "Fuck,"
