PERCY POV

Before anything, i think I should explain that Chiron has explained his plan to me, and i'm not happy one little bit. I mean, i just helped win two wars, and now they throw me into another one. Plus i have to leave my spark plug behind. Yep, Thalia's going to be pissed.

Anyway, todays the day. The rest of camp have been taken on a little outing, courtesy of Artmeis, to improve on their tracking skills. Needless to say, i'm so happy i'm not Nico right now.

"Percy, i do hope you have packed. Dumbledores informant will be here in a few minutes." Chiron shouted through my door. Rolling out of bed, i managed to find my bag, Riptide and t-shirt, before answering the door to Chiron. He just shook his head wistfully at me.

"Perseus Jackson, you are going to be the death of me." I laughed a little at that as i closed the door to my cabin. Walking through an empty camp was really eerie. No clang, as Clarisse killed some poor Hermes kid. No screaming as Leo flirted with yet more nymphs, despite his girlfriend Calypso (who he saved thank Zeus). No shouting as Connor and Travis are shunned for yet another prank.

"Wait right here Percy." Chiron said as he galloped away. A few seconds later he returned with a small bag. He handed it over to me.

"That bag is enchanted so that you can pull any weapon you like out of it. It also has an endless supply of Drachma and Galleons. If you get in any real danger blow the whistle in their and blackjack will be teleported straight to you. You can also contact Mrs O'Leary if you wish." I was stunned. Still a little bewildered by the bag, i stuck my hand in. When i pulled it back out there was a silver trident which stood 6'4 and had an excellent balance on it.

"Dad." I whisped. Obviously Chiron heard because he nodded smiling a little.

"Yes a gift from you father, use it wisly." I put the trident back in the bad and waited. True to Chiron's word, a few seconds later there was a pop, and a disheveled ( thank Annabeth for my amazing vocab. ) man stood there, staring at us in ore. Specifically Chiron.

"Well, i never though i'd see the day when i'd be meeting a Centaur as a friend. Nice to meet you Chiron, and Perseus. I have heard a great many things about you." He said, his british accent thick, yet not posh. The only way i can describe him would be to say that he is an older Nico. He wore a long black coat which covered his entire top half, and most of his legs. On his feet was a pair of dull looking boots, which looked as if they had seen better days. He had curly black hair and dark brown eyes, yet unlike Nico, looking cold and dark, this man seemed to radiate hospitality.

"You too. I take it your Dumbledore's informant." The man nodded.

"Sirius Black, at your servise." And the surname Black, seriously. Nico would love this guy. Sirius directed his warm gaze back to me.

"So this is the great Perseus Jackson, wow. Its a great honour to meet you." Sirius said, extending his hand for me to shake. I took it tentatively (ooh look another big word)

"Err you too?" I didn't mean for it to come out as a question yet it did. Sirius laughed a little, them removed a small rectangular box from an inside coat pocket.

"I suppose you'd like your wand now?" The way in which Sirius said it made me giddy. I couldn't help but nod franticly, causing both the adults to laugh. Sirius placed the box in my hand, and when i opened it, my breath hitched.

"12 inches, Kaya, Rigid and the core is a chimera scale fragment. A very beautiful, and very powerful wand. In fact this may just be the second most powerful wand right next to the elder wand. However, unlike the elder wand, this wand has a clear affinity for water and defensive spells and charms. Not so good with divination it seems." Wow, second most powerful. To be honest, that wasn't what made me love the wand. It was the affinity to water that did.
