Son of Tartarus

I choose something that might kill me

  After my encounter with Clarisse, Harry and I went to the cabin zone again. In there Harry said he was going to the enfermery to get some... Ambrosia (I think) and so I was told to go to the armoury which was near the Athena cabin, cabin number 6. While I was going I was so into my thoughts I didn't realise I was walking to a guy reading a book until I hit him.
"Sorry" I apologised
-"Don't worry about it, hi I'm Malcom, from cabin 6 I haven't seen you before, are a you a new guy?" He answered
-"Yes, I'm Nate by the way. I was going to the armoury, do you know where it is?" I said
"Follow me" he said

...

  After a minute or so, I was inside a small building full of deadly weapons.
"This is the armoury, here demigods like us get the weapons that we will later keep for life. Let me help you find something, children of Athena know about this"
  He spoke with such confidence that I had to ask
"And you are a leader or something? You sound like one"
-"No and yes. I'm not generally cabin leader of cabin number 6, but our leader is away in a quest and I'm substitute leader"
-"Quest? You guys have that?"
-"Yes, very often, actually right now there is a big one going on, that is why my sister, Annabeth, leader of cabin 6 is away, she is also with 3 other demigods, who are also cabin leaders, Jason of cabin 1, Piper of cabin 10 and Leo of cabin 9"
-"Oh, so why 4 demigods on 1 quest? Isn't that a lot?"
-"Usually, yes, but this mission is important, and actually it needed 7 demigods but 3 of them weren't here, we'll sort of"
-"Sort of?"
-"Well, one of them was here, but he was kidnapped by the goddess Hera, his name is Percy Jackson, leader of cabin 3"
-"Wait, so do we all get kidnapped by Hera at some point or is it just him?"
-"Only him, now let's find you a weapon, are you good with a bow and arrows?"

...

  For about 1/2 an hour we searched for weapons, and turns out I'm terrible with the bow and arrows, and spears. Then we tried daggers and knifes, which were better but not enough, so finally we were looking through the swords.
"Is this okay?" Malcom asked while handing me a long shiny bronze sword, but it was too heavy.
"No"
-"Well that was the last one, what do you intend to fight with?"
I was about to answer when I saw 2 swords that looked exactly the same from each other, they were long, light to lift and were black with a silver handle.
"What about these?" I asked
-"Ah, well no"
-"Why not? they are perfect"
-"They are cursed, one of them is supposed to make you win any battle while the other one is supposed to make you win any battle except for one that might be at any moment, in that battle it is going to work against you and kill you, but they are identical, we don't know which is which"
-"And why are they cursed anyway?"
"Ares got mad at the first warrior to use one of these. It was forged by Hephaestus himself and it was supposed to be for a kid of Ares, a guy named Ulisseus, and then a kid of  Zeus took it, so Ares got mad and made the sword two different swords and gave one to his son, the good one, the other guy... He's died and nobody ever knew his story"
"Well that is a risk I am willing to pay" I said, after all, I didn't believe in curses.
"Okay, but choose wisely"
  The swords were identical. But in the end I chose randomly the one on the left, which could be my blessing or my curse.
"So what will you name it?" Malcom asked nervously
I looked at the blade and suddenly it disappeared from my hand.
"What in the world was that?" I asked
-"magical weapons can camouflage, yours can turn into a shade, even in the darkness"
I thought for a second. Shade.
"That's it, I'm naming my sword Shade"
"Great choice" Malcom said
  Suddenly a bell started sounding in the distance.
"Lunch time" Malcom said
