3rd POV

"Jason knows," Cyclone states to Dorian.

"Jason.." Dorian says questionably.

"Blonde, son of Zeus."

"Oh, him, to bad he seemed like a decent kid." At Cyclones raised eyebrows he continues. "Surely you've made him disappear."

Cyclone sighs and rubs his hands over his face. "I still feel my old emotions, I knew him, I was close to him and I still feel loyal to him. I cant." Dorian pats his back.

"To bad, but look at the bright side, you now have a link to your past. Ask him about yourself. I know you've only had flashes of memories and you've always wanted to know more, this is your opportunity to get answers."

"You're right," Cyclone says before thinking. Too late to take it back.

"Of course I'm right! I'm often right, you just don't bother to notice, in fact.." And that is when Cyclone stopped listening.

The next day Cyclone is leaving the big house and heading towards the training arena when Piper calls out to him.

"Hey, Cyclone." She catches up to him. "I'm going to warn you in advance, Jason has some of our friends with him down at the training arena," Cyclone stiffens. "Oh no, they aren't planning on ambushing you or anything, I was just warning you because they can be a little... Eccentric."

"Have you met Dorian," Cyclone laughs. "I'm sure you have, there is no way he has stayed away from the Aphrodite girls, I deal with him pretty much 24/7, I can handle eccentric."

She grins, "Don't say I didn't warn you."

They arrived at the arena to the demigods trying to put out a fire.

"Leo! What have you done!"

"It wasn't me!" He calls back. "At least not directly," he concedes. "I made a little mini Festus, Festus was getting lonely and i thought surely one bronze dragon was awesome but TWO! I just couldn't help myself."

"I'm going to keep Dorian away from him." Cyclone says, sighing. "You were right." Piper grins at him then runs to help the demigods put out the fire. Cyclone just concentrates and a wave of water drops over the demigods and fire. The demigods gasp.

"Who done that?" Leo shouts, but he doesn't sound mad, he sounds hopeful.

"Me," Cyclone answers. The demigods all turn to him, he shrugs. "I have power over most of the elements." To demonstrate his point he raises his hand and the ground under it follows. The demigods deflate, they had hoped a certain son of Poseidon had returned. "Who wants to spar?"

The demigods hesitate, Jason steps forward. "I'll spar with you, if you promise not to use any of your powers."

Cyclone nods. "Sounds like a deal. You may use your powers if you like." He steps forward summoning his blade into his hand. Jason follows suit, flipping his coin while stepping forward. The get into position.

Cyclone let the fight go on for 15 minutes before disarming Jason, who is breathing heavily and grinning like a fool. "You're pretty amazing at this Cy. Here's to hoping our enemies underestimate you as much as a did."

"Let's hope." Cy smiles. "You want to see a real fight?"

"Sure," Jason steps back. "As long as it's not with me again, I'm exhausted."

"Don't worry, I already have a live punching bag." Cyclone jokes. He summons Dorian. Dorian comes running out of the woods.

"Oh, thank Chaos I found you. I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Except the training arena?" Cyclone asks eyebrows raised.

"Okay not everywhere," Dorian rolls his eyes. "Who knew children of Demeter could be so scary. As I was saying earlier last time I was here I may have angered a certain Cereal god, by saying I don't like lucky charms. It was a joke of course, I love lucky charms," He stops to take a breath. "But Mrs. Cereal-Is-Life didn't find it funny."

Cyclone laughs. "You don't say. Would you like to spar?"

"Not particularly, but I don't have much of choice, cant be a chicken in front of the young demigods here. 'Inspire confidence' says Chaos who likes to torture us for some demented reason. I mean seriously," He throws his hands up in the air. " How can anyone feel confident around the likes of me." He grins.

Cyclone rolls his eyes at his captain. "Sometimes I wonder why I keep him around," he says to the demigods. Leo is currently staring at Dorian in wonder, as if he just found his kindred spirit, which he may have. "Come on Dorian, you always like a chance to show off."

"Alas, you're right." Dorian takes out his knifes. Cyclone puts his sword away taking out his knifes as well. They attack simultaneously. I whorl of attacks and dodges. The demigods can barely keep track of their movements, which are perfectly timed as if they've been practising this exact fight for centuries. The two men break apart, and circle each-other, no longer are they the two friends, or the heir and his captain, they are opponents looking for weakness's, assessing. Faster then they could blink Cyclone strikes at Dorian slashing his knife across Dorian's chest which he dodges, barely, and strikes back with his knife to Cyclones calf. But Cyclone had been expecting it, he jumps over Dorian's head narrowly avoiding Dorian's knife and swiping at Dorian's cheek, nicking his otherwise flawless skin.

They break apart, chests heaving. "The cheek? Seriously Cy. It might scar." Dorian whines, ever the petulant child.

"No, it wont. You know it, I know it, they," he points to the demigods. "Unfortunately don't know about your flare for the dramatics." Cyclone turns to the demigods, who had been silent threw the hole interaction. They were staring at the two in awe.

"That was.." Piper starts. "Beautiful. In a deadly way, of course, but beautiful."

"Thank you, I think." Cyclone laughs.

"You think?" Dorian hisses at Cyclone. And steps towards Piper, "Thank you, coming from one such as yourself, who must be an expert on beauty, it is a wonderful compliment." Shooting a look at Cyclone who is barely containing his laughter. Dorian sighs, "Okay, out with it Cy, what stupid thing am I doing now?"

"She has a boyfriend, and he is standing right next to you." Dorian recoils, and Cyclone laughs at his expression.

"Ah, I'm sorry or whatever," he mumbles to Jason. "I'd of never if.. I didn't know.. I don't steal girlfriends." He states. "Anymore," he concedes at a pointed look from Cyclone.

"You don't want to know," Cyclone says to Leo who was about to ask why. "Really, don't ask, it'll scar your otherwise innocent brain permanently."

"Oh, come on Cy it wasn't that bad." Dorian whines.

"Yes, it was, and since I wont be able to change your mind, I think I'll go for a walk while your telling it. Jason, would you like to join me?"

"Sure," Jason says. Kissing Piper on the cheek he follows Cyclone
