Percy's POV
(You didn't expect that, now did you?)

Percy sighed, muttering to himself. Annabeth had left a week ago, and she still wasn't back yet. 'What's the hold up?'

And through all of this, he still had a beginingers sword training class to teach. Running his hand through his hair, Percy made his way to the training arena. It was a mix of 8, 9-12 year old, newbies. They'd all only gotten to camp within the last 2 weeks and despite being spread through different cabins, they had their first sword lesson together with 'the best swordsman in 300 or so years' as they had been told.

In fact, that is why Percy was so stressed. His Wise Girl was off on a quest, but he was stuck here training young kids how to fight for their lives.

"I'm sure you know who I am." Percy began for the class, they responded with nods. "I will teach you the basics of a sword today, and tomorrow you will learn how to fight with them."

Percy brought out a wooden longsword to show the basic parts of a sword.

"Does anyone know what this is?" Percy asked pointing to the bottom part of the sword's base.

A young boy raised his hand, "The hilt?" He questioned quietly. The boy had grey eyes and blond hair, he was obviously Annabeth's younger half-brother.

"Yes, in a way." Percy may not be the smartest in terms of books, but when it came to handling a sword he was one of the best. "But I was pointing to the pomel. This part of a sword acts as a weight to balance the sword." Percy inspects the kids.

"Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong as I hold this sword?" Percy asked, holding the pomel and the lower part of the handle.

They all shook their heads.

"I'm holding the pomel. Whenever you hold a sword you shouldn't do that. It throws the sword off balance."

Demi's POV

Demi groaned as she woke up. 'Dumb monsters...' She looked around through her drowsy eyes, noticing a titan in the doorway. ' Welp. I'm dead.'

"Hi! I'm Bob the Titan! Are you a friend of Nico or Percy?" Demi looked at this titan, 'could it be?'

Percy had told the camp thst during his time through Tartarus a good titan had helped them. 'His name had been Bob, but how was he here? Percy had said that the good titan had been left in Tartarus.'

"Yes... I am." She said reluctantly.

  "Yay! Then you can help Nico and Annabeth!" A small cat made its way torwads Demi. It crawled onto the bed and watched Demi with unblinking eyes. "This is Small Bob!"

Demi grinned at the former titan of pain and violent death. "If we are going to fight our way out if this, I'm going to need a wepon." She pointed out.

"Ah! I have just the thing!" He pulled out a celestial bronze sword and handed it to the daughter of Apollo.

Author's POV

Demi gripped the sword in her hands, holding it tightly. And guess what?

She was holding the pomel and the lower part of the handle. Just like Percy had said not to when talking to his class only moments ago across the sea.

Cakey: You were the one who said that you'd be awful with a sword KitKat!

KitKat: *mumbles* I like my dagger better...

Bridget: So you gave a feels warning...?

Cakey: Oh you know, Bob and this-

"Tell the sun and the stars hello for me."
-Bob as he sacrificed himself at the doors of death

Bridget: You're evil.

Cakey: Thank you! I try! *blue cookies appear*
Anyways Cakes,
Bye!

Bridget and KitKat: Bye!

(I had to research for the sword lesson so that's why this chapter took so long, sorry.)
