Hey guys two updates in one day! I know right it surprised me too! Well i just wanted to get another chapter out.

Thank you blameless who's pointed out a plot hole for me and as to the Chaos thing... you'll have to wait and see... it may not even be Chaos you'll never be know! Now onto the chapter!

Chapter 8

(Percy)

"AQUA BOY COME HERE NOW SO I CAN KILL YOU PAINFULLY!"

I just laughed at my overreacting cousin. Well actually, I cleaned myself using water from the nearby lake but her on the other hand... let's just say that this chocolate sauce can actually freeze and combine that with feathers... she's not too happy.

However, Thalia finally caught up to me and gave me a huge electric shock,

"Oh come on you pranked me first!"

Thalia just grinned,

"Actually the other hunters did, I just stood there and laughed at you and who doesn't!"

I have her my signature death glare and chose not to comment. She opened her mouth to say something else but I was thankfully saved by my mum.

"Hey Percy come with me I need to talk to you about the next three months and your powers and whatnot."

So as we were walking to her tent I decided to ask about what powers I have now got from her adopting me.

"Sooo mum, what powers do I now have from you adopting me?"

"Well you've got a different power from each of my domains."

I thought on this for a second but then I realised something...

"Mum..."

"Yes Percy?"

"Does that include your maiden domain...?"

Diana just smiled and looked like she was struggling not to laugh.

"So anyway from my hunt domain you will gain the aspect of a hunter and you will become an excellent marksmen with any weapons or traps used for hunting, from my archery domain you become a much better archer, from my MAIDEN DOMAIN..."

I physically felt myself pale at this,

"You will gain the ability to see whether a person is innocent or not and it goes well with how from being Apollos champion you can tell lies. And now this is where it gets interesting!"

Mum rubbed her hands in anticipation.

"When we were fighting Atlas and you took the burden of the sky, do you remember me turning into different animals during combat?"

I nodded quickly, eager to see where this was going.

"Well you will now be able to do that and it will become more efficient as you train to do it more."

I was in shock right now. I'd be able to turn into animals basically?

"Please Percy stop that you look like a guppy!" Mum said with a smirk.

I had her a quick glare as a shut my mouth and asked about the final domain.

"What about the moon domain?"

"Well you will gain a power that I call 'Lunar Enhancement'. This means that when the moon is out, every skill you have will increase tenfold. You will have increased endurance, speed, agility, eyesight, strength and even better combat skills."

What I said next probably made me sound really stupid but oh well...

"Wow..."

Mum chuckled at my response and I was so shocked that I didn't even realise we were at her tent until she opened the little door. It was the same as I remembered, it was warm and comfortable. Silk rugs and pillows covered the floor. In the centre a golden brazier of fire seemed to burn without fuel or smoke. Behind the bed, on a polished oak display stand, was her huge display stand, was her huge silver bow, carved to resemble gazelle horns. The walls were hung with animal pelts - black bear, tiger, wolf and several others I still don't recognise. It's still the same old place that would give an animal-rights activist a heart attack since there were so many rare skins. But hey my mums the goddess of the hunt, it's allowed. Lying next to the fire was a deer with glittering fur and silver horns, it's head poked up when it saw that its mistress had returned.

"Shocked by the amount of power I have?" Mum asked while smirking.

All I could do was nod, nothing else.

"Most people are shocked, well those who know anyway, very few people know the extent of my powers."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked finally getting out words.

"Well I don't like to talk about how powerful I actually am because it's better to be underestimated than people to be prepared for you."

"Smart thinking."

"I know Percy, now we just have to get you thinking like that."

I just nodded for a few seconds then I realised what she meant.

"Hey!" But she just ignored me.

"So while you're traveling for the hunt for these three months we're going to do different places, for the first month we will stay here in New York and try and kill some left over monsters from the war while we train you and the hunters. Then we will move to the centre of the USA for a month and do the same things as before but this time your training is harder. And then finally we get to western America, this is where your training will be the most difficult and once you are ready I will send you on your way to the wolf house to meet Lupa.

"Mum you never actually explained what the Roman tradition was and how people get to camp..."

"Oh yes, so essentially Roman demigods will be sent to the wolf house which is the home of Lupa the mother of Rome and her pack. They will then train these demigods to a good standard, although I doubt they'll train you you're already better than most of the Roman campers, and then they will send the demigods west to try and find Camp Jupiter. However I cannot reveal the location as you'll have to find it yourself. And finally, you're in the camp and you are given... trials do to speak. There are 5 cohorts, 5 is apparently the worst and 1 is apparently the best. You'll fight a centurion from each cohort and they get harder each time. At the end of these fights, the cohorts will decide whether they want you or not and you'll pick a cohort from there. Where you'll be on probito until you are seen worthy by the legion and you'll be give a Roman 'tattoo' with a stripe for each year of service and the symbol of your godly parent."

I pondered on this for a bit, could I even say Diana was my mum?

"Mum would I be able to say that your my godly parent even though you're a maiden goddess?"

"Yes you can just mention adopted son of Diana, you don't have to mention who your real godly parent is, don't let them force you and I'll deal with any problems they give you."

My mum had a sly smile on her face as she said that and I thought, "I can already tell Diana is going to be the best adoptive mum ever."

"Ok now bedtime for you mister..."

Maybe not.

"...you need to wake up early in he morning for archery!"

My eyes widened,

"ARCHERY!? I cannot do it for the sake of my life!"

Mum just looked at me and face palmed,

"1) you've been blessed by the two archery gods so you should be at least a bit better and 2) practice makes you good so tough no matter what we're doing archery now off to bed Perseus!"

I sighed "night mum"

I walked out the tent, not ready for the three months I signed up for.

There you go chapter 8! Please review guys and as always...
