The Child of the Dead Sea (a Percy Jackson fanfic)

10. Percy Freaks And Has To Be Put Down. JK

HAZEL

I went to bed last night before the others got back. Frank did too, but Leo stayed up so we could leave as soon as they got back.

Nico had Will over in his room which was next to mine. I could hear them talking all night long. I was happy for Nico. I know how hard it is to grow up in one century and appear in another. I was glad that he found someone to love. Even if he would never admit it, that's what their relationship was, love.

This morning everything was quiet as i got dressed and headed to breakfast. Frank meet me in the hallway outside of my room.

"Good morning." I greeted.

"Good morning." He responded. I took his hand and we walked to the mess hall.

Everyone but Kate was there when we got there. We took seats across from Annabeth and Piper. I summoned my food which was eggs with ham and a donut, i had gotten a taste for donuts when Percy introduced them to me. Leo was messing with bits of metal while eating a waffle. Annabeth was scolding Percy for eating so much syrup with his blue pancakes.

Kate walked in carrying two duffel bags and sat them on the table. By this time, most of us were done eating so our attention was fully on her. She opened the first one and pulled out a bronze bow with arrows that pulsed yellow. She set the bow and quiver on the table and Will eyed it. I expected her to pull out more weapons but instead she pulled out nine small jars that contained a liquid that pulsed its color. Two were sea green, another was red, the others were gold, black, blue, gray, pink, and purple.

"Here Will." Kate said and handed the bow and quiver to him. "Its been blessed by your father, which means you can use it to kill a giant, or anything else." His eyes grew wide, like a kid in a candy shop that's just been told that he can have anything he wants. Kate then turned to Percy. "Take out your sword, Percy." She said.

Percy gave her an uncertain look but pulled out his pen and uncapped it, causing it to turn into a celestial bronze sword. Kate grabbed it out of his hands and opened one of the jars with the sea green liquid. She dipped the tip of the blade into the jar and the sword seemed to absorb the liquid. Once the liquid was gone, the sword pulsed with a sea green light for a moment then turned back to the normal glow of the bronze. "What was that?" Percy asked when Kate handed the sword back.

"It's the blessing of your father. Bottled by Hecate, these are the blessings of your parents." She motioned to the rest of the jars.

"If that's so then can we use them on ourselves? Wouldn't that give us the blessing?" Annabeth asked.

"No. If you even laid a hand on the liquid, it would burn you alive." She responded. Percy dropped his sword on the table once he heard this. "Don't worry, Kelp-for-Brains. Once the weapon absorbs it, it's harmless." Percy picked his sword back up tentatively and capped it back into a pen.

PIPER

Kate took each of our weapons one by one and used each blessing. No surprise, the color of the blessing matches the godly parent. Hades was black, Pluto was gold, Mars purple, Hephaestus red, Zeus blue, Athena gray, and Poseidon sea green. Which meant Aphrodite was pink. I sighed internally. I could only imagine what her blessing would be. With my luck, probably only make my dagger shine brighter or turn the grip pink and sparkly.

For the others their blessing made the weapons perform better or become more powerful. With Will's bow and quiver, it made it so that he never ran out of arrows.

Kate took my dagger, which was the last weapon, and dipped the tip of the blade into the liquid. The knife shimmered pink and soon when back to its normal glow. When i got it back it felt lighter in my hand. I expected that when i looked at the blade, it would be just my reflection like it has been for the last few weeks. But instead i saw images of the camp from an air view. I found that i could ask it to show different places. It showed real time images of wherever i wanted it to. I was shocked that my mother's blessing would have this effect but i guess it made sense as the images made everyone in them look more handsome or pretty.
