Because if I did you would never get a chance to even hold a sword.'' ''and why is that'' he says with the most cocky tone in his voice
this makes me even more irritated. But I answer with the coldest tone ever ''let me summon it up for you
First, b...
y/n Percy and Chiron arrive at the archery, and Percy turns his gaze to y/n
"hey y/n are you good at archery?" he asks.
y/n laughs and with a quick and graceful movement she removes her bow from her back and draws an arrow.
In the next 5 seconds 5 arrows fly through the air, and a moment later in all 5 targets there is an arrow exactly in the middle of the bullseye. y/n makes an overly dramatic bow (Katnis Everdeen style)

''yes I can do a little archery but I've been doing it almost my whole life, besides, the Apollo campers are much better than me'' says y/n, suddenly in a shy voice
"Ah don't be so modest y/n you know you're way better than all of us" says an Apollo camper walking up
"that's not true I have a lot more training" y/n blurts out
The camper turns to Percy
"She's the strongest, fastest and most badass half-blood that's ever walked this camp, but instead of taking pride and showing it off like any normal human being does, she's always humble about it." Says the boy with a friendly smile. He holds out his hand for Percy to shake
''let me introduce myself. I'm Michael Yew, my dad is Apollo and I teach archery along with y/n and some of my siblings''
Percy shakes Michael's hand
"I'm Percy Jackson"
"Good to meet you Percy" Michael grins at Percy
"I'm off again those arrows don't shoot themselves" Michael grins at Percy, gives y/n a fist bump and nods to Chiron before running off in the direction of the other Apollo campers
Percy, Chiron and y/n quietly walk to where the practice bows are stored.
''Let's see how well you can handle a bow and arrow'' y/n walks to the table with bows, there are about 10 hooks attached to each edge, so 40 hooks in total with a number of quivers hanging from it .
(no one's POV)
y/n walks to the table where the bows are displayed. She runs her fingers lightly over the nearest bow, the smooth wood feels reassuring under her fingertips, feeling each individual wood grain.
Her fingertips lightly and gracefully follow the curves of the bow that are so familiar to her, as she helped make most of these bows.
Her fingers stop at a certain bow. Her fingers hover above the handle of the bow, she closes her fingers around the handle. The bow lays nicely in her hand, it's the right weight and it's well balanced.
She examines the bow carefully just above the leather of the handle is a small symbol of a wave engraved in the wood.
Y/n smiles this was her first bow from when she first arrived at camp, she had given it to the Apollo campers after getting her own bow the bow that now hung securely on her back. Y/n grips the bow firmly and looks up at Percy.
(y/n pov)
"Hey Percy, catch this" Percy looks up at me he looks at the bow flying his way he lifts both his arms clumsily and catches the bow that I had just thrown in his way
He catches it a bit clumsily, but still manages to get a firm grip on it. I grab one of the quivers hanging from hooks on the side of the table. As I walk along the many hooks with quivers filled with dozens of arrows ,
I grab another arrow quiver from one of the hooks with a smooth movement without slowing my pace even a little bit .
I give one quiver to Percy and the other I hang over my own shoulder next to my own quiver
"Hey, what do you need the second one for?" Percy asks with a curious undertone in his voice.
"oh this one is not for me" I say pointing to the extra arrow quiver that gently taps against my own with every step I take
"Not for now anyway" I mutter softly to myself under my breath
I was planning to convert the normal arrows into trick arrows sometime later this afternoon, such as the usual smoke arrows or arrows that have nets and boas hidden in the tips that unfold when you fire them. And a few other special surprise arrows
"What?" Percy exclaims confused
"Nothing" I say
We do some more shooting exercises and Percy and I soon come to the conclusion that Percy is a terrible archer.
We stop the exercises when Percy accidentally shoots an arrow into Chiron's right rear flank.
Percy apologizes again and again, while Chiron tries to reassure him that it's okay.
Percy POV
I apologize again and again and I only fall silent when Chiron assures me that it was just a small accident, and he says he doesn't feel anything. He tells me that it happens often to new archers who still have to learn it.
I look at the ground and feel a pair of eyes burning holes in the back of my head and looking straight through my soul
I look over and see that the owner of those e/c eyes is none other than y/n. I quickly look away and stare at the ground again. An uncomfortable feeling comes over me, I don't know what to do. And I silently wish that the ground would swallow me up here and now.
y/n pov
I see Percy getting uncomfortable
"I think that's enough archery for today, why don't we try something else?" I suggest, trying to break the awkward atmosphere. I immediately see Percy's face light up with a look of pure relief.
Percy POV
"I think that's enough archery for today, why don't we try something else," y/n says
May the Gods bless you. You are truly my heroine, I hope your life is full of happiness, I love you, you are my saving angel, I am forever grateful to you for saving my life from this awkward moment.
My thoughts are interrupted by Chinon nodding approvingly
Nobody's POV
"that's a good idea y/n Jones" Chiron says with a friendly look towards the h/c haired girl
" thank you and I told you you can call me Y/n. You know I don't want to be associated with the name Jones."
The girl says in turn. She has a look in her eyes that Percy can't quite place, it's a mixture of fiery hatred for something or someone, remorse and pain from a memory she would rather not remember.
The look makes the hairs on the back of Percy's neck stand up
"I'm sorry y/n that was very thoughtless of me" Chiron apologizes
"It's not that bad, something like this can happen to anyone, you just caught me off guard," Poseidon's daughter assures Chiron, but Percy doesn't quite believe it, his curiosity has flared up and he wants to know why the name 'Jones' has caused such a problem. that y/n was so upset over it.
That's it for this time
