Percy Jackson and the Incarnate - 2: Who is the spy?

CHAPTER 12 POV: Percy Jackson

Annabeth had told me that Jason, a.k.a. Thyella wanted to meet me. So, I nodded and went to the Chaos Cabin; no scratch that; Chaos Palace. Outside, it looked like a two storied mansion. Luke (Thysia) was outside the cabin waiting for me. He grinned at me to enter the Cabin.

The insides were huge. There was individual twenty rooms that looked more like Villas. There was an indoor Pool, Gaming area and even a raining area beside a big kitchen with a filled refrigerator. Boy! The Chaos Army do enjoy some doles.

At the meeting room, Jason was sitting with Asteria, their hoods off. They were in deep discussion. When he saw me, he smiled and signaled me to take a seat, which I did. I took off my hood, for everyone in the Chaos Cabin knows who I am.

"Percy. So glad you came. You are staying in the Cabin, for you are officially Chaos's ally.", Jason said.

"Thank you. I wondered where I had to stay. But now, the issue is resolved. Now, I am itching to get onto the Arena and spar. Give me permission and someone to spar with.", I said.

"How are your Archery skills?", he asked me.

"Better. May be no bulls eye; but certainly average.", I replied which was true. Ashwatthama and Parashurama had changed my technique and now I may just be okay with a bow and arrow.

"Zoe. Can you teach him the bow? It would really help him.", Jason asked.

"Sure. Only for Percy!", she said and looked at me with a stern gaze.

"Still thinking of being a hunter, eh?", I asked.

"Nah! I am over it. Now I date.", she said, and my jaws dropped in shock!

"No way!!! Who is that unlucky guy? Have you castrated him already?!", I faked horror winked at her. She blushed and punched my shoulder. And it hurt! Badly.

"Luke.", she muttered. But I heard it.

"Zoe, I hope you don't turn him into a jackalope when you both have arguments.", I said, and Jason laughed.

"Nah! That is for Artemis to do.", she giggled.

"And your English has also been updated.", I said and raised an eyebrow.

"Say thanks to Jason. And Chaos.", she replied.

"Okay. All the best for the spar tomorrow.", I said.

"You are sparring with us too. After the whole competition gets over, you and I will spar at full skill to show the campers the level they need to reach.", Jason said.

"Get ready for your second defeat.", I taunted.

"Bring it on.", he said and we both chest-bumped each other. I heard Zoe mutter boys like she was the one who was to take care of us.

"Okay Zoe. Lead me to the Arena.", I said, and she led me to the arena. It was bigger than the whole Camp. There was space to learn every type of a weapon.

"Show me how much Archery you know Percy.", she said and summoned a target. I summoned my bow, which Ashwatthama gave me and nocked an arrow. It was not a bull's eye. It was at the third ring. But considering my skill in archery or lack thereof, it was a huge progress. Even Zoe seemed to be surprised.

"I see. You have improved greatly with the bow. Your basics are now sound. Some changes in technique and practice, you shall be able to shoot arrows like us.", Zoe said.

This started our first of the many more archery sessions that would help me improve my Archery. After a good three hours, we called it day and went to our rooms to rest. My room was HUGE. It was like the guest room Chaos showed me at his place; a big bed, wardrobe filled with some clothes and an attached bathroom. As I sat down, on the desk near the wardrobe, Chaos appeared.
