Percy Jackson : Rewind Time

Chapter 6: Chapter 6 : Meet my new friend FrostSilver



==========================

This will be the last chapter before the quest starts.

I was re-reading the PJO series and decided to put in Meg. Yeah, you can like it or not.

She won't go on the quest though.

Next chapter will start with the end of the Capture the Flag game. Enjoy reading.

==============================

"Come on Meg." I encouraged the girl.

Meg looked nervously at her surroundings. The fact that we were in the northern forest didn't help. The fact that the sky was pitch black, even though it was noon,didn't help either.

When I found out that Nyx could hide things from the gods with darkness I abused the shit out of it.

See the fact that I had fire powers did not mean I was skilled with them, I could not burn myself but controlling fire is hard; trust me. Maybe it's because I'm a son of Poseidon or maybe it was just my bad luck. Either way I had to train my fire powers and my improved water powers. Being Chaos's champion was a huge boost in water control, I could even summon ice but her boost was not enough on its own.

I also didn't want the campers or gods to find out about my heritage or Hestia yet, so I had to train in the dangerous forest on the north of the Long Island. Of course, I took with me; a seven-year-old child with me.

Meg held two imperial golden Siccae blades in her hands and stood in a defensive position.

I uncapped Riptide and held it in my left hand. I could use my firepower to light it on fire, but that was a little overkill for practice.

I poured water out of the air and began forming it into ice. Within 2 seconds I held a second Riptide in my right hand. Of course this version was made of ice, but it was an identical copy in size and weight.

FrostSilver, my new sword.

The fact it was made of ice didn't make it any less deadly, it was strong enough to hold its ground against Megs imperial golden blades.

"Ready Meg?" I asked as we both had our weapons out.

"Ready." Meg answered determined.

After the first week I got into camp I decided to take Meg away from Nero. I was too late to stop her father from dying, but I could at least help her.

In my past life Apollo told me about her past and I felt bad for her. I mean living with a purple freak was a fate no one deserved. Except Gabe of course, but he had something else coming his way.

Nyx was so kind to Shadow Travel me to Meg. First time I came she didn't trust me, but she was more than happy to have someone come visit her. Especially when the "Beast" was out.

It took some weeks to gain her trust, Nero never told her about Camp Half-blood or Jupiter, and she thought living with Nero was the only thing that kept her alive.

When I offered her to come with me, she accepted it, saying she never wants to see Nero again.

I still had to make a plan to deal with Triumvirate Holdings, but they could wait for now.

Due to me Shadow Traveling I had to explain about Nyx and Chaos, but she swore not to tell anyone unless I did.

First I thought it might be a problem to bring her to Camp due to her knowing about the Romans, but she said she would never tell anyone about them.

Since I brought her to camp, she hung around me, (I used a bad excuse which Chiron obviously didn't believe, but he had not much else to do than accepting the new demigod, We practiced a lot together, dual wielding in the forest and I tried to prepare her for the real world and the possibility she would have to go on her own quest one day. It started as just part of my plan but honestly she was growing on me.

Like a little sister.

Chiron had many questions about me, but I avoided answering them.

I guess the first suspicion came when I fought Luke for the first time.

Luke lunged forward, doing a faint which I easily blocked. However, he swung again, and I was forced to move backwards. I faked stumbling backwards. He thought he saw an opening and brought his sword down.

I side stepped and hit the base of his sword and twisted it with Riptide. I caught him by surprise as his sword fell out of his hand onto the floor. I a quickly dropped Riptide too, faking that the force of the disarming technique was too much for me.

'Why did you do that?' Hemera asked, surprised.

'That was just unnecessary.' Nyx said and Chaos agreed.

"Well it's a tie," I said laughing sheepishly.

Luke stared at me in awe but quickly reposed himself.

"You're a natural." He said in awe, but I just shrugged it off.

"Guess I'm just lucky." I said.

"Why did you hold back?" Luke asked sitting next to me on the beach.

"What do you mean?" I asked innocently.

'I want to know it as well.' Chaos said.

"You didn't go all out during our spar, why?" Luke said looking at me with calculating eyes which I didn't suspect from a Hermes kid.

I shrugged, "I'm a new kid at camp and I didn't want to embarrass you in front of your friends," I said trying to sound like a 12-year old.

It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the whole reason either.

I wanted Luke to feel bad about betraying me. This meant we had to bond together.

"How did you get so good?" Luke asked after overthinking my answer.

"I'm from New York," I said, that didn't explain anything but I hoped he would fall for it.

"Ugh, that explains it." He said, probably relieved I wasn't a monster.

"You seem like a good kid," Luke said as he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Maybe your father doesn't care about you but at camp we do care about you."

"Thanks," I said unsure but grateful the bonding went so fast.

"So shall we go back to sword fighting?" He asked as he got up.

"Sure, why not?"

I lunged forward, trying to swing Riptide at her left side while holding FrostSilver behind me. Now you might think it was irresponsible for a 12 year old to spar with a 7 year old but Meg was surprisingly good. Of course, I held back, beside that, she was the only one who I could practice dual wielding with since I couldn't show FrostSilver without people claiming me as a child of Khione or Poseidon.

Meg raised her right blade to defend her left side, after deflecting it she spun 360 ramming her other blade at my stomach. I stepped back and deflected the blade with FrostSilver.

"Good one Meg, the spin confused me for a second." I complimented her as she tried breaking through my defenses but I deflected each strike with only FrostSilver.

I wish I could dual wield during practice with Luke but even if I used a normal sword Chiron would get suspicious. He didn't exactly trust me anymore, I think it had to do something with the lost bet.

"There's no way you can get the Ares Cabin' Flag within 5 minutes," Chiron protested.

"Dare to make a bet?" I taunted.

Mr D laughed at my taunt. "Peter Johnson if you don't get the flag within 5 minutes you get to clean up the entire camp," he mocked me, thinking it was an empty threat.

"If I get their flag within 5 minutes, I decide what we eat as breakfast for a month." I offered with a smug smile.

"Deal!" Mr D said laughing.

"Swear on the Styx." I taunted and he fell for it.

"I swear by your terms," He said with an evil grin.

'Hey Nyx, mind shadow traveling me when no one looks?' I asked.

Nyx snickered, 'Of course.'

Okay maybe it was a little bit cheating but he it was necessary to save the world, really.

I ended the rain of slashes from Meg with one swift movement of my leg, making her trip.

"Always watch your feet," I said while I offered her my hand.

She smiled and grabbed my hand, "I'm getting better right?" she asked.

"Yes, I think you can now kick the Ares Cabin's ass." I said proudly.

An evil smile grew on her face, she wasn't claimed yet, so she was placed with me in the Hermes Cabin. Even though I told her about her Heritage she felt safer sleeping close to me.

Also, it would be hard to explain how Meg knew she was a daughter of Demeter without her mother claiming her.

Not that it matters, at this summer solstice, she would be claimed, I would make sure of it.
