The Uniting of All Gods

The Talk

Achilles POV

I woke up a few hours before dawn and decided to get my own training done before any of my soldiers or campers woke up. I changed my appearance into a teen with black hair and blue eyes to avoid putting on my mask and cloak. I trained with his bow and arrows for a few minutes. I got a bullseye each time and the arrows halved my previous arrows from before. Then, I trained with my twin swords, sabers, scythe, and other weapons. I was finishing up my ten mile run by the time the campers and army had woken up for training. I decided to keep my appearance up and saw that nobody recognized me.

Once everyone had arrived, I told my army what to do and saw that people started to recognize me by my voice. I made my First, Second, and Third in Command go and give training to the campers. I yelled, "Campers, my First, Second, and Third in Command will help you with your weapons by separating them into groups. Anyone using swords go to the First in Command, anyone using bows go to the Second in Command, and anyone using something similar to swords go to the Third in Command." One campers yelled out, "How can we trust you when your army is covered in cloaks and won't show their faces and you keep changing your appearance?" The rest of the campers started to agree. I saw that Annabeth was the one who said that. I replied, "We will show our appearances when the time is right." Another camper yelled out, "Ya right, you're just too scared to show your faces." I got frustrated and yelled, "That's it, this training is over!" I teleported into the army's cabin and mind linked the soldiers to come to their cabin. Once all of the soldiers arrived, I started to talk. I said, "Soldiers, I think that it might be time to reveal ourselves to everyone because the campers won't trust us unless we do this." His First in Command took off his cloak, revealing his face. Luke Castellan son of Hermes. Then, my Second and Third in Command took off their cloaks revealing Silena Beauregard daughter of Aphordite and Charles Beckendorf son of Hephaestus. Luke said, "But Commander, the campers think that I'm a traitor and they won't trust me." Silena said, "I agree with Luke commander. I betrayed them during the war as well." I said, "Why do you think that? The campers forgave you for that when you two sacrificed yourself for them. You are heroes!" "How can you say that after what we did?" Luke said. "You forget, I was there when all of that was happening. I forgave you after I understood what you did," I replied. "I almost forgot that you were Percy Commander," Silena said. The soldiers were able to accept the fact that I was Percy Jackson and that he was a part of me. I know, it's kind of hard to tell," I reply. "So, do you all agree to revealing yourselves?" I ask. One of the soldiers took off their hood and said, "I know I am Commander. I want to be able to spend some time with my brother." It was Nico's sister, Bianca di Angelo. My soldiers soon started to agree. I decided to reveal our identities tomorrow at breakfast and check for any traitors or spies in the camp. After a little while, I went to Chiron and told him what to expect tomorrow morning. The soldiers and I just hung out for the rest of the day and didn't step out of the cabin. I made some food appear during lunch and dinner time for the army using my powers. I conjured up blue pancakes drenched in maple syrup and blueberry juice, something that had carried over from my reincarnation as Percy Jackson.

***The next day***

The army and I (Achilles) woke up at dawn to train. While I was training with my dual swords, I didn't notice that the army had stopped to watch me. I only noticed them after I finished my martial arts. When I turned towards the army, they all had wide eyes and open jaws. I chuckled at their expressions (only the soldiers could see through each other's cloak) and saw that they grew even more shocked, hearing my chuckle. They seemed embarrassed to be caught staring at me and went back to their training.

The army's POV

They had just woken up for training and started wearing their clothes and armor. They and the Commander silently walked to the camp's training ground and started to train. Suddenly, the noticed that their Commander, Achilles, was training with his dual swords. The swords' movements all looked like a deadly dance. Once Achilles started to practice his martial arts, their jaws started to drop. His movement looked deadly yet beautiful. The army didn't notice when Achilles stopped practicing and stared at them. The army fell into a daze when they heard Achilles chuckle and saw the smile on his face. They could tell that their Commander was amused by their starting. Actually, they couldn't be blamed. They never had a chance to watch their Commander train before at Chaos' planet. They blushed and went back to their training. A few hours later, they noticed the campers starting to wake up and went into their cabin to get ready for breakfast.
