"Well you already know Ms. O'Leary and Cane. Next is Mia she likes being single. Then there's Ava and she likes baby's. That's your girls.

Then there is Ace he likes Nico. Next, Is Alec he also likes tormenting Blackjack with Cane. Then there is Kai he likes Ava.  And that is all of them." I nodded.

"Who is the oldest?" He looked at the dogs for a second before he spoke.

"Well, Ms O'Leary is the oldest with her mate Kai. Next is Mia and Alec is supposed to be her mate but she doesn't want him. Then there is Ava and her mate is Ace. Then last but not least is Cane the youngest and no mate." I looked at them and noticed how the ones with mates where standing near each other and how Mia wouldn't look at Alec. I smiled.

"Okay. It's good to know. But they all look the same how do I tell them apart?" He looked thoughtful then smiled.

"Give them collars." I smiled. The frowned.

"Um, How?" He just smiled.

"Just tell me what kind of collars they will have." I looked at the hounds and thought for a second.

"Hmmm. Well Ms O'Leary should have a black collar, Kai's should be dark red, Mia's should be silver, Alec's should be gold, Ava's should be purple, Ace's should be blue, and Cane's should be white." He nodded and the collars appeared at his feet in order.

I picked up Ms. O'Leary's and she walked forward. I slipped it on her and smiled as she barked. Next was Kai, I picked up his collar and slipped it on over his head. As I let the collar go Kai glowed and when It faded he had dark green streaks in his fur. I looked to Dante who smiled and nodded. I picked up Mia's and as I let go she glowed and had silver streaks in her fur. It continued like this for all of the hounds. Each ended up with strips the same color as their collar. Ms. O'Leary had a black collar so her streaks were invisible. Each hound jumped around and barked at each other. I smiled and turned to look at Dante only to find a letter.

'Percy,

The time will come when these hounds will fight. Train them well. Train them all well. There will come a time when they will need to be prepared. If you need the hounds in battle just yell "máchi" the armor they have will appear. Train hard. A war is coming. Tell no one, but train hard.

Be ready. I believe you can do it. Also, others will visit you. You will need to split time in the next fifteen years. Do not stay in Alaska the whole time. I will train your hounds but after that you are on your own.

Percy, do not lose faith, but be prepared to seek revenge. You are after all the champion of revenge.

Goodbye Percy.'

I picked up the letter and put it in my pocket. I looked at the hounds and smiled sadly. One day they may not all come back to me. I whistled and they all turned to look at me. I opened my arms and they all came and laid their heads on me. I smiled and let out a lone tear.

"I will make sure you are all safe. I promise." With that I walked out and went back to the cabin. I stormed past my family and into the training room.

I pulled out Phoebe's whip and set it on the weapons wall with her bow. I picked that up and walked to the range. I lifted the bow and knocked an arrow. I drew back the string to my cheek and took a deep breath. I thought of Phoebe with Landon. I thought of Dante, alone. I thought of the letter and the message of doom it brought. I thought of my hounds and the promise I made them. I thought of my family behind me. I thought of the people in camp. The people I still loved. I thought of all of this, and I let go of the string. The arrow flew true and hit the bulls-eye. I grabbed another arrow and did the same. I did this till the quiver on my back was empty. I had never been bad at archery but then I had to have a weakness. To hit someone behind me I would need to bounce an arrow off of several things. So I did. I turned to the weapons wall and hung the bow back up.
