[MC POV]
We spent to two months training with Erda and Calypso in that time my transition to magic user to full on psyker was surprising smooth. Same could be said for Thalia it seemed the chaos gene was doing its job I couldn't wait to teach the others. I learned enough for now I didn't want to hold off recruiting for too long. We were able to build two more cabins and another infirmary we also build a defensive wall as added later of protect.
''So where are we going first'' Thalia asks?
''Houston were looking for son of Hephaestus he's the one of his kids who inherited pyrokinesis his talent is the best among his siblings'' I said.
''How many people do plan on recruited anyway'' Thalia asks?
''I've divided the recruitment into two categories people I want to join my pantheon and people to work it'' I said.
''That's not very categorized but it due for now'' said Erda.
''Who do want join pantheon'' Calypso asks curiously?
''Besides Leo there are three more Nico and Bianca Di Angelo children of Hades and Percy Jackson son of Poseidon'' I stated.
''All of them broke the oath'' Calypso asks frowing.
''Only Zeus and Poseidon broke the oath Hades put his kids in the Lotus Hotel I'll have to wait to recuit them until I meet Hades'' I said.
''I didn't think there were so many powerful demigods besides you and Thalia this excellent news'' said Calypso clearly thinking. ''Have you consider looking for other demigods not of your pantheon'' she asks?
''Yes, but I don't know enough about the other gods to try and recruit their demigods even my boldness has his limits'' I said.
''Wise decision must pantheons are hostile towards each other'' said Erda.
''Besides recruited them what else did plan to do'' asks Thalia.
''I want to locate the black markets of the supernatural world I two reasons resources and meeting more demigods'' I said.
''Will the gods be ok with that'' Calypso asked worried about my safety.
''I doubt they care much plus I'm doing this for the good of the camp'' I said.
''Be careful some of the gods will take interest in your activity and with Gods interest breed obsession'' warned Erda.
''I understand thank you for the wisdom'' I said.
''You ready'' Thalia asks?
''Yea let's go I said. ''I'll try to be back in a few months'' I said.
''Don't hesitate to call us if you're in danger'' said Calypso.
''Don't need to I'm sure Erda will be watching over us'' I said looking at my new teacher.
''Your right but her point still stands there no shame in asking for help'' said Erda smiling.
''I know see you guys later'' I said before using planet teleportation to get to Houston.
''That was really convenient we should use that more often'' said Thalia as she looked at the new environment.
''We will Gaea gave me a lot of seeds that I could use so traveling will be easier'' I said.
''How are we even supposed to find him'' Thalia asks?
''Same way monsters find us'' I said.
''Don't tell me your relying on your stupid nose'' said Thalia shaking her head.
''Your just mad you can't don it besides it will be easy to locate him his scent will be stronger than most demigods''.
''I'm not jealous of you beast boy just get to tracking'' said Thalia rolling her eyes.
''First let's get something to eat I smell a pizza place not far away'' I said.
''Always eating someday you'll get fat'' said Thalia.
''Sounds like you don't want any'' I said raising eyebrow.
''I didn't say that'' mumbled Thalia.
''That's what I thought'' I said smirking.
Hours Later
''We got some monsters headed are way'' I said.
''Good I want to test my abilities'' said Thalia smiling.
''We got a pack of hellhounds headed towards us from the east and some Giants are tracking us from the south the hellhounds will be here in few minutes'' I said.
''I want to fight the giants you can have the hellhounds'' said Thalia.
''Works for me'' I said.
As I predicted the hellhounds appeared within a few minutes there were about twenty of them, they were all the size of bears. When they spotted us, their speed increased outpacing most cars, yet I remained clam. I waited until they got closer and closer than that's when I made my move.
Two of them jumped towards me they aimed for my head and throat before they could reach me they both spontaneously combust. They exploded into golden dust the only thing they left behind it's fur I hold my hand in snapping jesture similar to Mustang from FMA. I snap my fingers and in a instant five more hellhounds were destroyed.
They others started to circle me they started acting more cautions three of them charged me at once this time. I dodge the first attack easily the second was right on me until shove a fire ball into mouth killing it. I concentrate so I can summon a little power from the warp soon my hands sparkle with lightning I aimed at the other two ended them instantly.
The rest were already rushing me, but I was prepared the wind around them instantly obeyed my will. The wind repeatedly slashed at them until they exploded all of them were gone except one the biggest and strongest one still remained. Instead of attacking I tried something that haven't got to practice much.
''Leave Now'' I commanded.
It stopped its advance and immediately became more docile it sooned turned around and ran away.
''Soo your commanded monsters now'' said Thalia looking jealous.
''Is that envy I hear'' I said smugly.
''How could not be what demigod wouldn't want the ability to control monsters'' she said rolling her eyes.
''I can't control all monster only ones that are weaker than me if they are being controlled by someone stronger or equal to it want work either'' I said.
''Still a powerful ability it's like charmspeak for monsters'' she said.
''True but it's your turn now'' I said as I turn my head south spotted four giants. ''They here'' I stated.
''Finally, some fun'' she said rushing them without hesitation.
She appeared right before them instantly she attacked them using the wind blowing them back. She went for the weakest looking one first she aimed her spear right at his head and with force that impressed me. It flew through the air like heat seeking missile electricity surrounded the spear making it glow.
When it made contact his whole body blow up her offensive power was really no joke a year ago that would've been harder. She took out another one using the same attack as before her cut through them like hot knife through butter. The last two were killed using a tornado she summoned.
''That was two easy' said Thalia sounding disappointed.
''I guess will have to start fighting stronger monsters'' I said agreeing with her. ''His scent is getting stronger we must be close'' I said.
After some time, we arrived at our destination it was small a mechanic shop in the middle of town his scent was the strongest here without any delay we entered.
''Hello miss, are you Esperanza Valdez'' I ask politely?
''That would be me what can I do for you'' she asks?
''We are demigods we are here to talk to about your son'' I stated.
That immediately garb her attention she went from being claim and relaxed to panic in a instant.
''Don't be afraid we are not going to hurt you or your son we just want to talk I Dunamis Corrino this is my friend Thalia Grace'' I introduce.
''What do you want from us'' she asks still not trusting us.
''I want to talk about his future I assume you have study greek mythology'' I ask?
''Yes, of course I have'' she responded.
''Good then I'll cut to the point the Olympians will be at war in a few years the Kronos and the Titans our rising so is Typhon that's three Gods fighting for the right to be king'' I said.
''Oh my god that's terrible'' she said completely shocked.
''In that war demigods will be sent to fight and die as we always are the gods see us weapons and tools to be use at their convenience I aim to changed that'' I said.
''What do mean'' she asks?
''I plan to overthrow them while they focus on each other my faction will gain enough power to defeat all of them'' I said.
''Your just demigod what could possibly do'' she asked clearly skeptical.
''I have the support of Gaea and Nyx plus I wouldn't be the first demigod to obtain godhood'' I said smugly.
That caught her attention she's taking me more seriously now I observed
''And where does my son fit in in all this'' she asked?
''I want him to become a part of my pantheon with your permission I'll take him to camp half-blood to train him then make him a god when it's time'' I said.
The shop became completely silent after that she was looking at us like we were crazy I wonder if I should have pitch that differently before could talk she spoke up again.
''Why do want Leo'' she said finally. ''Aren't there other sons of Hephaestus'' she asks.
''There are but know of them have Leo's potential'' I said.
''How do I know you're not lying'' she said.
''I'm willing to make an oath on the River Sticks if that earn your trust'' I said.
Before she could respond a boy around Annabeth age came into view.
''Mom I finally fix come and see'' he said excitedly before turning to us.
''Hi, I'm Leo'' he said.
''I'm Dunamis your big and amazing cousin'' I said proudly. ''That's Thalia another cousin although she not as cool as me'' I stated
''Only in your dreams'' she said.
''Huh'' he said clearly confused he looked towards his mother for confirmation.
''He's right Leo they're your cousin'' she said not knowing what else to say.
