Hey guys I'm back with another chapter! Hope you are enjoying and feel free to review!

Tyler POV

The past two weeks have been pretty good for me and Percy, sort of. The only problem is the Ares cabin, who seemed determined to defeat Percy, but leave with some pretty nasty cuts and bruises. Me and Annabeth are friends, sort of, but Percy and Annabeth are still on rocky terms. I learned Percy has a interest in Old English, something he will revert to unknowningly, much to everyone's annoyance. Clarisse and the Ares cabin learned Percy's the best fighter in camp the hard way. Right now we're arguing over a fight between him and the Ares cabin.

"It wasn't my fault, they challenged me and I took care of it." I sighed. It's always the same excuse, which is true, they did challenge him, but can't he just walk away? "Was it really necessary to beat them unconscious?" I demanded. A thoughtful look appeared on his face. "Yes." I groaned. "In all honesty, they had it coming. I warned them but," he shrugged.

"They didn't listen. So, they paid the price, end of story little brother." I glared at him. The conch horn sounded twice, breaking up our little argument was over for now. Lunch was ready. "Let's go," Percy said. "Don't want to be late again." I nodded as we walked towards the Hermes cabin in comfortable silence.

"Do you think we're finally going to be able to play capture the flag?" I questioned hopefully. Ever since I saw Percy completely destroy everyone in the training arena with his sword/pen, I've been anxious to test out my skills with the sword. The only problem was I couldn't find a sword that suited me. There was only one, but that's Riptide, Percy's sword.

"Probably," he said. "But since it's our first time, we're probably going to be put on patrol duty or something stupid like that." I groaned as we stood in front of the Hermes cabin. "Well, that's boring." "Indeed Tyler." "Do your eyes change?" He looked at me. "What?" "Your eyes," I said. "They tend to freak people out. But the Aphrodite cabin loves them-" "Of course they do." I ignored him and continued. "Do they change colors?" He nodded. "The outside of my pupils change colors if that's what you mean." I shook my head.

"It's going to raise questions if we're both children of Poseidon, but don't have the same eye color." He rolled his eyes and went to open the door but someone else opened it from the inside. "Hey guys," Luke said smiling. "You got here just in time for lunch, hop in line." Luke gestured to the Hermes campers. We nodded and walked toward the back, everyone clearing a path for us. After the incident with Keven a few weeks ago, the Hermes cabiin is now permanently scared of Percy.

"Sup guys." I looked at Connor and his twin, Travis. The Stoll brothers is what everyone calls them. You can't really tell them apart, the only way to tell who is who is Connor is a foot taller than Travis, or is it the other way around...I shook my head, anyway, the Stolls are the only ones who really talk to us. Percy nodded. That was his way of saying hello to most campers. He talks, but only to me. "Hello Connor," I said. "How you been?" "He's still flirting with Miranda." Travis said smirking.

Connor looked flustered. "Wha-no-I-" "Don't worry about him Connor," I said. "He's pulling at your leg." They stared at me. "It's a old saying," Percy said. "It means that he's messing with you." Their mouths made a small O. "Did we get rid of your accent yet?" Travis questioned. Percy glared at him. "No," Percy said annoyed. "I don't mean for it to come out, it just does." "And he somehow fails to realize it," I said smirking. Percy rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." Percy looked away from us as we started to walk through the camp. "So Percy," he looked at Travis. "Yes?" "What's with all the jewelry you wear?" Percy raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think it's jewelry?" I nudged Travis. "That isn't jewelry," I said. "They're weapons." His eyes widened, as did Connor's. "That ring is a bow, the watch is a shield, the two pens are his sword, Riptide, and a spear. It's just enchanted so he doesn't have to walk around carrying all of it." They looked at Percy shocked.
