Percy was surprised. This was the first very video game like skill he had gained in a long time. It was exactly the kind of thing one would find in a stealth game. But he did obtain it from defeating an assassin so maybe it should have been kind of obvious.
After the training session with Thalia and the others ended Percy began his own training. He was determined to level up his Telekinesis skill to the point he could use it in actual combat.
Percy sat on the fist of Zeus and sat crossed legged on the stone structure. The first thing he needed to do was learn how to move things, multiple things at once. So Percy decided to first move the stones that made up the stone structure.
He focused on the stones and tried to move a single one. He reached out and touched it with his mind, and then slowly he lifted it up. It was big, and heavy, just barely under the 80 pounds limit of his powers.
Percy was sweating by now, he could barely keep it up, but he did so for as long as he could. Soon the stone became normal to hold up, almost like Percy wasn't even holding up anything at all.
Percy then moved his focus to another stone as he picked this one up as well. This one was smaller than the other stone and Percy found it easier to lift. But just as he shifted his attention to that the first stone fell down flat.
Percy sighed, he needed to divide his attention between the two stones. He closed his eyes and tried again. He lifted the heavy stone first, this time he was used to the weight so the surprise of lifting something so heavy didn't effect him.
Then he moved to the next stone slowly lifting that up while reminding himself to focus also on the first stone.
Percy lifted both stone higher and higher as he directed all his attention to carrying up the two stones.
Ping!
Percy's eyes shot up, his mind was distracted by the noise for a second and this caused both stones to collapse down. Percy sighed, he turned to the notification that distracted him;
You have developed a new sub skill!
Carrying Multiple items, Lv-1 - Carry multiple items, Max- 2
Percy closed the box and turned back to the training at hand. He activated Telekinesis once again and this time he found that the stone had become easier to move. It seemed once he got a skill doing the thing it became infinitely more easier to perform the skill.
Percy smiled, 'time to become a mother fuckign jedi.'
A few hours later,
Thalia had just finished her dinner and was walking through the Forest in search of her…. boyfriend? It was night time already and she was worried about him. After their training session, Percy had stayed back inside the Forest to do his own training. Thalia expected to see him soon, but he hadn't shown up yet.
The daughter of Zeus had been feeling strange about the whole Percy thing. She hadn't really thought that she would ever find anyone for herself. It had always just been her, she was always alone.
She had Annabeth and Luke, and they were alright. But she always kept them at an arm's length. She knew Luke had a crush on her, but she knew that the son of Hermes couldn't walk the path she was meant to walk.
She never had an equal, she never had someone to look up to or someone who fought for her. In some ways she liked that, she wanted to be the one people looked up to, the one in charge.
The way the people she protected looked at her made her feel like she had accomplished something good in her life. But there had always been a part of her that regretted never having anyone to look out for her. She had always been the big sister, the one people expected to fight for them, they never wondered whether she even wanted that responsibility.
She never rejected her duty, no, she understood who she was and what was expected of her. But that didn't stop her from feeling alone. There was no one there who even thought to look out for her. Annabeth and Luke cared, and Grover did his best, but in the end it was her who had to die. It was her who was turned into a tree losing years of her life.
But then he came.
Percy Jackson, with his stupid hair and stupid eyes. Everytime she saw him Thalia felt her heart speed up and her head go numb. Gods sometimes she wanted to punch him in the face just to stop feeling like that.
The first time she meet him she screamed at him. She had just learned Percy had done a favour for Hades, and she was pissed. After all Hades was the person who was responsible for Thalia's death.
She tried to push him down, she fully expected him to cover in fear, she was the daughter of Zeus after all. It may have been an arrogant thing to think, but Thalia saw the way Grover and Chiron treated her. They gave her special treatment, whether it was because of her father or because she was powerful, she didn't know.
But Percy did none of those things. He stood up to her, he freaking ignored her and told her she was nothing. At first she hated him for it, maybe it was her pride but Thalia never considered herself second best at anything. She didn't trust Percy back then, what if he didn't care about the demigods like she did? What if he was an arrogant little shit who took his powers for granted?
And then she saw it. The way he cared for the demigods. It took her weeks, but Thalia finally managed to admit that Percy was better than her. That was he stronger, kinder and more caring that she ever was.
