A gift of the gods || Percy Jackson x My OC

3/Son of the sea

Theadora had the honour of teaching Percy Greek mythology and Ancient Greek as she usually does with newbies. Each morning they would do Ancient Greek and Percy said he found it weird talking in present tense. Theadora was surprised he knew what that was.

Percy was reading Ancient Greek faster than English, proving Theadora right, he's wired for Ancient Greek. The rest of the day he'd rotate with outdoor activities.

Theadora tried teaching him archery. Luckily, she  knows how to catch an arrow or else she would have one through her head.

"I'm sorry" he touched the back of his neck embarrassed

Theadora put the arrow down "you clearly can't do archery"

He was no good at foot racing either, the wood nymphs were. They told him not too worry about it because they had experience.

"lol imagine a tree being faster than you" Theadora chuckled

Percy rolled his eyes in response.

Wrestling was no good either. He stepped on the mat and Clarisse would pulverise him with Theadora giggling away.

"There is more where that came from punk" she mumbled in his ear

The only thing he was good at was canoeing, Theadora was better, but he did good. Canoeing wasn't the type of skill that a half-blood who killed the Minotaur was expected to have. Councillors, senior campers and Theadora tried figuring out his father, Theadora had a guess but wasn't sure, other than that it wasn't easy. 

He wasn't as strong as ares kids, not good at archery like Apollo kids, doesn't have skill with  metalwork like Hephaestus kids, not as smart as Athena kids. God forbid he was Dionysus child, and he can't garden, and after getting shouted at the Demeter kids for ruining their plants, he's not going back.

Theadora was good at everything unlike Percy.
Luke suggested he might be a child of Hermes, Theadora knew he was saying that to make him feel better. Slowly, Percy started to understand Luke's bitterness towards his father.

Three days after he arrived, on Thursday, he had his first sword fighting lesson. All cabin eleven surrounded the circular arena. Theadora sat with Fern watching from the distance.

"Fern?" Theadora looked nervous at Fern

"What's up Adora?" She held her hand for support

"I don't want Annabeth is getting hyped up for nothing. What if he's not 'the one'?"

"Annabeth is smart if she something it's probably right. And plus I think you're enjoying your time with Percy."

"With him? No I'm not!" She blushed looking away

"Is that blush?" Fern smirked

"No and you know I like Luke even though he way older than me." She looked over at Luke teaching, she looked at him watching his muscles, the way he fights.

"Hey I mean the gods didn't care about age"

"FERN!!! Don't say that" she hit the saytr on the head playful

The two girls looked towards the centre seeing Percy and Luke sword fighting. Luke called a break, everyone was sweating.
"Come on Fern" the two girls walked over

Luke poured ice water on himself and shook his head 'drying' his hair.

"How's training going?" Theadora asked sitting on the table

"Great Thea" He came closer too her shaking his hair to get her wet

"Ahh lukeee stopppp" she put her hands in front of her blocking him
