I woke up with a start, I had Riptide immediately in my arms as I looked around for danger.
"That's weird, swear I felt something" I looked down at my arm to see a small gash on my arm, I don't remember much from last night except… I shake it off as I pull water out of the fountain to heal my injury as I got ready for the day. And then I remember what my father told me about the fishing rod. I went into my closet where it was, it wasn't anything special looking, it was any normal fishing rod but it had a sea green button that I pressed and it immediately shifted into a beautiful sea green trident that shifted with a purple color (think an enchanted trident from minecraft). Honestly, it looked sick. It felt naturally balanced too. I guess that's why dad said I'd be a natural at it. I took some experimental jabs with it and it felt great. I planned on taking it out to the sparring arena.
I was interrupted with a heavy knock on the door. I put the trident aside and headed to when again a loud knock was placed this time with a lot more anger, I sighed as it was probably Clarisse asking for spar which wouldn't be a bad thing with my new shield and trident. But when I opened the door I was surprised to get slapped. Hard. Straight in the face with the precision of a swiss clock. I couldn't even process that it was Annabeth that clocked me right on the cheek.
"I can't believe you burned down the library in my Cabin", I looked ahead to see all her siblings right behind her with an angry look on their faces.
"What- no I didn't do anything I just woke up" I was still upset at the breakup but it doesn't mean I'd do that, "Well I saw you Jackson you walked right out and looked at me and ran off and if you 'woke up' then how come you have a trident and shield up? " I didn't even have time to respond when again I was slapped by an angry Annabeth as she left with her siblings yelling insults at me. I just sat there dumbfounded at the fact she didn't believe and the fact she's strong as tartarus. If only I knew how worse it'd get.
Two Months Later
To say it's been hell is an understatement. I've allegedly done so many things like trashing the garden and blowing up the hecate cabin as well as breaking the weapons of the Ares campers and I haven't been able to prove my innocence as they all claimed that I was there and would look at them with piercing black eyes, which is weird since I don't have black eyes. Jason and I were currently sparring with me using my trident and shield, I felt good using it as it felt balanced and all, at the moment we've been going at it for ten minutes with me having a clear upper hand in this fight, he stabbed with his shield and I used my shield in roman form to block him and would stab with my trident I named earthshaker as a parry.
"You're good Grace but you're not good enough for me" I stabbed at his leg that he left undefended and put a small gash that brought him to a knee.
"Yeah? Well I'm not backing down anytime soon", he shot up into the sky and came flying down leaving me little time as earthshaker got knocked out of my hand. I cursed as we had a deal to not use our powers to cause minimal damage to the sparring field. I guess it's for me to use it. I called for water but instead earthshaker came flying back into my hand just in time to block a lightning bolt from Grace, awesome. I summoned water and blasted it straight into Jason as he hit the wall and stayed there, I felt great still used to sparring for longer periods of time and a bit disappointed that it didnt last any longer. That's when I saw the army in front of me…
