Chapter 1:

Perseus Jackson looked around, smiling in contentment. He had just been to the archery range, improving his skills. Thanks to - he shook his head. He had just been trying to earn out trust and then betray them. He was a liar. A skilful liar, but a liar nonetheless.

He walked to the beach, where the waves gently lapped across the golden grains of sands. The sun's rays made the reflection in the ocean look even more stunning. His smile slipped upon seeing Jason Grace run towards him, eyes wide with alarm. "Someone is attacking the camp! We need the senior counsellors and Praetors on the front lines now!"

Percy growled, nodding as he uncapped Anaklusmos and followed Jason back to the front. Nico di Angelo was already waiting for them, a grim look on his face. "This isn't good. An attack like this hasn't been heard from for over four years."

Percy nodded, agreeing with his cousin, before noticing his other cousin beside him. "Thals, good to see you." Thalia Grace smirked, dressed in a silver parka and cargo pants, which were tucked into her combat boots.

"You too, Kelp Head."

Piper McLean came forward, forehead creased with worry. "I know you two missed each other, but now is not the time for reunions."

"Chill, Pipes." Percy grinned. "We can do this. We just need to hold off for long enough so that the Chinese gods can come."

Piper frowned as well. "Do you think we're relying too much on the Chinese gods? Even though Hawk can come any time he wants to, it doesn't mean we should depend on him too much." Percy nodded, but his answer was cut short when a hawk flew in front of him, changing into a human.

"Hawk."

The young god smirked. "Sorry, am I too early?"

"Nope." Percy found himself grinning. "Of course not." Ever since Lin Chung's disappearance, Hawk had been strangely distant. He had, however, somehow, forgiven them from the event about two years ago. The god's coppery skin seemed to glow in the sunlight, and his dark hair was still hanging at the same place it was a few years ago, at the nape of his neck.

An ivory bow was clutched tightly in his hand, and his bright sharp teeth glinted. His eyes shone in anticipation, what with him finding it boring without having anything to do.

Twin Masters appeared soon enough. He was smirking triumphantly, even before - or without - winning this battle yet. His eyes swept the crowd, but he made no move to attack. Hawk straightened up, eyeing his fearsome creation. "What do you want, Twin Masters?"

Twin Masters continued to smirk. "Nothing from you, Hawk." His voice sounded like glass breaking. "I just wanted to inform the innocent demigods of what a big mistake they had made."

"What mistake?" Percy demanded, though he had a pretty good idea of what Twin Masters was talking about. As if sensing his thoughts, Twin Masters waved his hand, and a mortal stepped forward. Most of the camp growled, levelling their weapons to him, though Hawk remained motionless.

"That is not him."

The camp turned to the god of Creation and Protection, who was quiet. They turned to Twin Masters, still holding their shields up in case the vile Chaotic energy user tried something against them, but he seemed to have no interest in fighting them. He smirked. "Go on, show them."

The one that they thought was Lin Chung stepped forward as his appearance changed. His hair lightened to the point that it seemed nearly white, while his eyes lightened into a faint shade of grey. His skin darkened, contrasting with his pale hair and eyes. The figure drew a blade, smirking.

"T-That's not-" One of the children of Athena stuttered. They all turned to Hawk, who was currently glaring at the demigods assembled.

"I told you!" They turned away, only to find that Twin Masters had disappeared, and four clones were charging at them. Percy raised his shield to block one, only to find that the person had feinted, and struck him on the shoulder before kicking him away. Another one approached Thalia. She fired a bolt of electricity to him, only for him to dodge. This caused the lightning to hit the ground, and smoke to come out. As the smoke cleared, Thalia was knocked out faster than she could react to.

Jason approached the third, not exactly eager to fight with him. He put out his blade to block, but the clone went low, slid under him, then knocking him out from behind. The other senior counsellors were gone equally quickly when arrows started coming from a tree, shooting them down on either the shoulder or on the leg.

The campers at the back gasped, until Hawk notched an arrow and fired it into the tree. The arrow hit the tree, and Hawk turned around, ducking in time as the one in the tree appeared behind him and lashed out. Hawk's bow turned into a blade, which he used to block the second strike that was coming to him.

Another took the original attacker's place, using both a dagger and a blade. Hawk frowned at being reminded of the battle a few years ago. Except for the fact that this clone was clearly more skilled. The blade and blade moved like lightning, and even Hawk had trouble trying to anticipate each move. The unpredictability of the strikes made it all the more harder to defend himself.

Suddenly, as if something summoned them, each of them vanished; the one who was fighting Hawk begin the last to disappear. Hawk stood up and grabbed his blade, which had already transformed into a dagger. He looked at the campers, who were wide eyed at the casualties caused by only five mortals.

He sighed. "We need to inform the gods."

The gods were soon in uproar as they heard about the five other clones of Rin. They were panicking, though the meeting managed to retain some civility. The demigods were still slightly shaken from the incident, and kept silent as the gods bickered.

"What do we do?" Raijin demanded. There was no reply.

That was, until Yuki-Onna spoke, her voice strong and determined. "You said they were clones of Rin, am I right?" She received nods in response. "And Lin Chung was one of them? The combination of them all?"

Hawk's eyes lit up as he realised what she was trying to convey. "Any skill that they possess will be with Lin Chung. And any weaknesses they have will also be on Lin Chung."

"We're not getting Lin Chung back." Zeus thundered.

"Why not?" Hawk demanded. "He will know how to defeat them."

Benten frowned. "Would you mind explaining each of the clones again?" Hawk nodded, before he started.

"Yong Gan. The first perfect clone, and the oldest of the six clones. He is known for his bravery and skill in battle, and is usually paired with Zhi Neng, the second perfect clone. Zhi Neng is known for his quick mind and vast knowledge, and though not as skilled as the others in battle, is still a formidable opponent. Zhi Shen is the best archer of them all, is the third perfect clone, and the one who is, if the myths are right, the closest to Lin Chung."

"Explains his love of archery." Percy muttered, before Hawk continued, pointedly ignoring him.

"Jian Ke, the fourth perfect clone. He is known for his speed and unpredictability, something he shares with Yong Gan and Lin Chung. He is paired with Jiao Hua. Jiao Hua, the fifth perfect clone. He was the slyest of them all, using his sharp wits and quick thinking to get out of trouble. And the last: Lin Chung. Each clone was made once every year. Lin Chung is the only one who was made two years after Jiao Hua. He is the only one who holds any magic."

"Wait. You mean that the others don't hold any magic? Why?"

"Everyone has magic, but some choose to stay dormant. However, once the person reaches the age of five and the magic fails to be awaken or awaken itself, the magic chooses another host. Lin Chung was the only one who had his magic awakened. By then, Yong Gan was already past the age, Zhi Neng had no use of it, Zhi Shen also had no use of it. Jian Ke and Jiao Hua, as their reputation tells, were strictly forbidden from trying anything."

Lëi then sighed, before speaking. "So it is settled. The gods will try and locate Lin Chung, and when we find him, Hawk will choose a group to go and retrieve him."

Hawk crossed his arms. "That is, if Lin Chung is still willing to help us."
