Percy POV:

The camp is done and we demigods will be moving in it today. I have been trained with Chiron and my dad in Olympus, learning how to use the trident and Jake was being taught by the Hecate campers. Today, I would fight with Chiron with the Trident and even other weapons of mine just so he can check my skill level. We would be moving to camp after the fight. Nobody has seen the camp except for the Hephaestus and Athena kids but they are not telling us. I have found a sword and even though it is not well balanced like Riptide, I have been using it. I was about to go to the arena when Tyson came to me with a pen case in his hand. I looked at him questioningly and gestured towards the case.

"Hey brother, I got to know a few weeks back that you don't have Riptide anymore and from then I have been preparing something for you. It has been enchanted by the cabin counselor of Hecate himself. This here is a sword, like Riptide. It is now in pen form and it will come back to the owner, which will be you once you touch it. I have not touched it with my bare hands, so I am not the owner. Also, once you decide its name, the name will be engraved on its hilt."

I was flabbergasted and hugged him. He hugged me back and almost broke my bones. I expressed my gratitude to him and ensured him that I will use this. I took it from the case and felt the energy flow into me, most likely meaning that it had chosen its owner. I looked around to see if anyone was looking because I wanted it to be a surprise to everyone while fighting Chiron and uncapped it. It turned into a beautiful sword perfectly balanced. It had water swirling around it, just touching the blade. The hilt was golden in color and the blade was brown, golden, silver, sea green with some gold flakes and blue. Energy flowed into me from the water and also I felt rejuvenated from it. I questioned Tyson, "Why is the blade in different colors?"

"Oh, those are different metals. The brown is Celestial Bronze. The golden is Imperial gold. The silver is Olympic Platinum and Titanium mix. The sea green is Oceanic gold. And finally, the blue is the concentrated power of the ocean which you can use to spray on enemies and people will die if it touches their skin. It will spray if you think about it. Also, no one except you can wield it and pick it up once you touch it until you die. If someone else tries, his hand starts burning, not like your Trident as nobody can pick that up. Now please think and name for it", explained Tyson. I was dumbfounded. I did not even know so many metals. I hugged him and fist-bumped, saying thank you repeatedly. Then thought of the name. "I would like the name to be Katalixi, which means Ending." Suddenly, the hilt became so hot that I almost dropped it. I checked it and it was written 'κατάληξη' over there. So, the name had been imprinted there huh. I thanked him and he wished me luck for my fight.

Zeus POV:

Today would be a fight between my nephew and my Half-brother. The truth is that I have started to like and respect my nephew more than even Heracles. He is a perfect product of what a demigod should be and is even more loyal than my brother. The proof of that is the fact that Poseidon plotted against me along with Hera because he wanted the throne. I hope Perseus wins. Right now, we gods are waiting in the arena, waiting for when the match will start. I saw him enter the arena from one end and Chiron from the arena. My brother Poseidon stands up, and says, "Today, we are here to see a friendly dual between my son Perseus and my half-brother Chiron. Powers are allowed for Percy. You both can use any weapon, including magic weapons. May the fight begin."

I saw Chiron take out a spear. Percy saw this and touched his forearm and in a blink of an eye, there was the Trident in his hands. They both took their stances and started circling each other, looking for openings. Suddenly I saw an opening in Percy's stance and by the looks of it, Chiron saw it too. Chiron jumped forward on his four legs and galloped forward, stabbing his spear towards Percy. It looked like Percy had anticipated this move and allowed Chiron to find an opening because he pushed his trident forward and tried to put the spear between the two blades of the trident and when it was locked successfully, he twisted in in an attempt to disarm Chiron. But Chiron was strong, so he was not able to twist it.
