Percy's POV
It had been 1 year in the hunt and I had become 8 years. It was pretty exciting at the hunt. After an year I'll be going to the underworld. I had become a well seasoned hunter in my time here. My sister brother relation with Zee and P had strengthened and we were inseparable at times. I was sad that I would be leaving them but I will enjoy the time here left.
I was hunting through the woods again and found 2 to 3 monsters. They seemed scary so I took out my bow and shot 1 of the monsters.
The monster crumpled to dust and I realised that I was in trouble as the 2 monsters started searching for the attacker. I was about to shoot both of them but 2 silver arrows protruded from their chests and they dispersed into dust.
"Percy how many times have I told you that if you see monsters report to camp?"
"Arty, I'm sorry. I was curious but I did manage to kill one of them. I hit right in its eyes."
"What did you call me Percy?" I could sense her anger building so I started running.
"I called you Arty." I entered the camp and P noticed me, "You are so screwed. You called her Arty again didn't you?" I nodded and kept running until I ran into someone.
"Can't you see where you're going?" The hunters were snickering. I wonder what that's about. I looked up and knew why they were snickering. Looking down on me was Arty's amused expression.
"You cheated. I told you that you cannot flash so I win Arty." Oops, I called her Arty again.
"Percy give me 5 laps of the camp and 10 pushups. The hunters started laughing loudly.
"Oh shut up." I started my daily workout.
Well I might as well enjoy these moments I was going to leave soon.

1 year later

Today was the day. I was 9 years and I had to go away from the hunters for a 2 years before I get to meet them again. I couldn't get myself to say goodbye to them.
I went outside folded my tent and went to the campfire where everyone was sitting.
"Bye Zee, P and all you guys. I'll come back after 2 years." I went and hugged all of them.
I went to Artemis's tent where I hugged her as well. "Goodbye Arty."
With that I shadow traveled to DOA studios. "Hey Charon. Give me a ride to Dad's palace will you?"
"Sure, Percy."
You must be wondering how I shadow travelled well I practiced it sometimes and dad came to me to help me as well.
We reached Dad's palace and I gave him a hug. It was spring so Mother wasn't here.
"Percy meet your tutors. Achilles will be at the end. To complete the training you will have to defeat Achilles. Perseus will show you how to use a spear. You'll get an electric spear with the same metals later. Odysseus will train you with swords. He's also a dual wielder. Theseus will show you how to use both in a battle and battle strategies.
That's for the first year. Then Hestia, Persephone and I will train you with our powers. After that you can go back to the hunters."
I sighed. This was going to be much longer. Well at least I was ready. I mean, how hard could it be.

You know what? Next time please warn me when I say how hard could it be. Today I finally get to challenge Perseus. We will fight with a spear and a weapon of our choice. I'll use a bow.
He's told me that a spear can be used for both melee and ranged.
I'll try it out myself today. I got ready. I put on an armour. Well actually not put on. The armour was bonded with my clothes. I just had to will it to appear.
I got out my spear which I had named Stormbringer.
One of my swords was already named Riptide the other was called Deathnote.
My bow was called Razorsong.
Yes, I know pretty cool names. So I walked into the arena where Perseus was already waiting. "Using Stormbringer and Razorsong I see."
Dad was supervising and he blew the whistle. I bought out Stormbringer and we started circling each other. I did a fake but Perseus anticipated it and lunged at me. I had to go on the defensive as he used his sword. I luckily, ducked and rolled to the other side of Perseus. I made a gap of 20 feet between us and brought out Razorsong. I started shooting at inhuman speeds.
Perseus was barely keeping up. I shot three arrows together then dropped my bow and shadow travelled behind Perseus. I swiped my legs and he fell to the ground. I took out my spear and pointed it at his throat.
"Yield."
He nodded. I gave him my hand and he got up. Dad had given him a body for a few hours for the battle. "Percy your next training begins tomorrow it will be with Odysseus." I made my way to rest and thought how hard Swordplay will be.
