Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 12: Important Research

[Percy's POV:]

"Apollo, turn the brightness down dammit! I'm trying to sleep here!" I couldn't help the strangely nostalgic feeling my words felt, a seemingly autonomic response.. Anyway, today was the day I would find out more about the Titans that went missing. I'm certain they didn't just go poof, that's for sure. I'll need to find out where they could and or would go, and then find a reason why they would go there; that's assuming they ain't imprisoned on Olympus by the bastard thunder thighs himself.

"Why are you cursing Apollo, Damian?" The voice belonged to Anna, the girl I had promised to train today. It was only now that I realised two things. One, I'm a wolf, how does a wolf train a human? Then again Mum did it with me, though she could switch to a human form to help where I can't do that here. Secondly, she uses daggers, I don't use daggers.. I think. This whole memory thing was really getting old fast.

"I have no idea, but I have no regrets either" I jumped down from my tree before sizing her up. She had a sleek figure, one made for agility by far. She was built for speed, but her muscles looked strong enough to do some damage. She reminded me of someone, I couldn't put my finger on it so I did the easy solution and put it down as a Percy memory.

"Today I will begin training you. Meet me in the arena at noon battle ready. I will be assessing your skills and what there is to work on" Saying these long sentences with a Wolf voice box is seriously hard.. Like forcing a trumpet to sound like a flute only possible, wait is that even possible? I bet someone did it on Hephaestus TV or Vulcan TV as they probably call it here.. Dammit ADHWID, where did I even get that from? I need to just stop thinking already.

"Great! Umm can I bring my daughter with me?" Hold up. HOLD THE SCHIST SHE'S A MAMA?!?!? What's a schist? I hate this memory thing.

".... Say... How old are you again?" needless to say my brain was shutting down. She didn't look a day over 14. Ok maybe a few days. I mean it isn't impossible for her to be a mother, but 14? Really? I didn't see any girl other than her sist.. Nonono she's like 6!

"I'm 306 this year. I was made partially immortal roughly 292 years ago. Had my daughter, Emma 6 years ago" well, I did not expect that. At all. Makes sense now thank Gods.

"I did not expect that. At all, but sure bring her along. I'll train her in daggers, nothing too advanced" she smiled and told me she'd see me then, I hadn't expected to meet an immortal demigod I guess it would partly explain why she was a chosen representative at the initiation. I started my trek to the praetor's cabin, hoping by some miracle I'd beat Reyna awake. Chances were not in my favour at all, but I had a feeling that wasn't anything unusual for me. I arrived through my open window that I had left through the previous night and of course Reyna was sitting on the bed looking as pissed as if I had left a big number two on her kitchen floor and no, I did not do that.

"Where were you? It's already 7am! We are late to the council meeting" council meeting? What did I sign up for... should've read the fine print always the fine print..

"Yes, yes I'm on my way your majesty" I rolled my eyes before bounding through the house praying to mother she'd forgotten about that dam outfit.. She of course didn't.

"Damian Lupus GET DRESSED" ohh sorry seems I prayed to the wrong person. Obviously Reyna here is. I begrudgingly trot back to my room where I pick out the accursed wraps of cloth that is my toga. I still think this ain't natural no matter how good I'm forced to admit I look in it, but it's better than listening to Reyna go mama over it, hmm maybe I can 'mis-place' it somewhere like in a firepit or something, purely accidental of course. My evil plans set, I trot on back to Reyna for dressing... this is getting ridiculous now.
