Percy and Annabeth led me to a spot sandwiched between the sea and the forest. I could see some green women. They looked like the Yakshas, but I remembered they were Greek so they must be dryads.
"Won't they overhear us?", I asked pointing to them.
"Oh! I haven't thought about it.", Percy said sheepishly.
"Are you always like this?", I asked incredulously.
"Yes, he is. But during the war, you can depend your life on him.", Annabeth defended him.
"Fine. Can you solve this minor issue?", I asked and held up my hands in surrender.
"Um!! No Idea?", Percy said.
"IDIOT", I cursed in Sanskrit.
"Hey!!", Percy protested.
My eyes lit at the same time his eyes widened. "I can still understand in Sanskrit!!!", Percy exclaimed.
"Annabeth can you understand Sanskrit??", I asked but I know the answer is no.
"No. When did Percy learn Sanskrit?", She asked suspiciously.
"During the battle, when he was angry, he touched my shoulder, and new energy coursed through me. That is when I started to understand Sanskrit.", Percy explained.
"I want to learn too.", Annabeth whined.
"Why? Ego hurt for he knows something you don't?", I asked her sarcastically.
"Oh! Shut up!!!", she spat and turned red.
Percy chuckled and hugged her. "You will always be my wise girl."
"You will always be my seaweed brain.", she replied and they kissed for a moment.
"Ahem!", I coughed and they blushed as they separated.
"So, we can't speak in Sanskrit for Annabeth doesn't know. Can we just ask the dryad not to meddle?", I asked.
"Which dryad?", Percy asked and I pointed to a group of dryads. Percy went and spoke something which made them bow to him and terrified them. They nodded and vanished.
"What did you say?", I asked in awe.
"That I am a friend of the Lord of the Wild and if they meddle in our business, I would recommend your names for punishment.", he winked.
"Are you serious?", I asked.
"Yeah! I may joke, but I know my limits.", he said and turned serious.
"Fine. Now I wanted to tell you two things. One, I need both of you to teach me all weapons. Three to four months, or the battle, whichever is earlier.", I said and they both nodded.
"After the attack, I and Percy shall fake our deaths and escape.", I said.
"How are we going to fake death?", Percy asked.
"Annabeth I have one plan. You may scrutinize it.", I said and laid out my plan. She gave a few suggestions and minor changes. And finally, the plan was complete.
"Fine. I need to go convince Pranjal to come to the camp for a few days while Annabeth will convince Rachel.", Percy said.
"I'll help you in that.", I said and we both went to the Hearth where my mother was waiting.
"Amma! (A/N: Mother in Tamil. Pronunciation rhymes with 'Emma') Can you summon Pranjal from the other camp?", I asked and she obliged without question. After a few minutes, she flashed back, with Pranjal holding her hand and dazed.
