Waking up alone back in mom's cabin, brought back my slight feeling of loneliness. So I went to go see what's for breakfast.

At the dinning pavilion I could see that some of the Ares kids were wrapped up in bandages and looked injured, while the Apollo kids that were here looked ready to fall asleep into their breakfast.

"Clarisse, did anything happen last night" I asked, unaware if something did happen

"small army attack, mostly hellhounds and dracaena", nothing my cabin couldn't handle, but we are out till lunch, according to the docs over there" she said, sounding annoyed that most of her cabin couldn't do anything till around lunch.

"Alright, I'll see if Annabeth can get her cabin are prepared to go on patrol after breakfast, just know they'll probably hate it" I said, which got a laugh surprisingly.

"Alright, but you know they are going to want you to join them" She said, and I just nodded

I quickly ate breakfast, and went to go get Annabeth and her cabin to join the patrol, which they, not including Annabeth, reluctantly did.

Boarder patrol was so incredibly boring, and Annabeth agreed on that, because the only problem was two hell hounds prodding the shield carefully, but there was no other action. So when everyone broke off for lunch only, only to hear the monster warning system go off moments later, well you can imagine how that was.

The Athena kids minus Annabeth again just sat and continued to eat, as Annabeth, the Ares cabin, and myself ran off to go and fight whatever thought it was a good idea to disturb camp at this hour.

Running up the hill we were confronted with not one Colchis bull, but both of the not so little shits. One would be no problem, but two don't get me started on it. You know what next time I see Hephaestus I'm going to ask him what in the name of his uncle Hades was he thinking when he made two bronze bodied-silver horned-fire breathing bulls.

Clarisse got Annabeth to reluctantly join her in the phalanx formation her and her siblings were forming. When I being annoyed at their appearance rushed forwards and opened up my shield, which sprang to life and scared the bulls off back to the top of the hill. Which is when Clarisse ordered the Phalanx to march forwards.

Does she not realize that if they split up her phalanx is screwed, I question myself. Seeing that, I try to get the attention of one of the Colchis bulls by throwing my throwing knives at one.

Good news it worked, bad news it worked too well and now I got both of them after me. "Clarisse Annabeth, now what be a good time to get the attention off me from one of these damned bulls" I shouted at them.

Which thankfully they registered that I needed the help and got one of the Colchis bulls to focus on them. Which let me think of ways that they could be defeated. I remember some lessons with mom about them, saying that they were made not born so that meant they didn't really have the standard organs to kill, and that most arrows will just bounce off the bronze body.

So that left me without my arrows and knives, as they would either bounce off or not sink deep enough to do damage, but do serve as an excellent way to piss them off, as I just got blasted by fire from the one I threw my throwing knives at earlier.

The fire, well still hurts to take but like before thank you Auntie Hestia, as with out your blessing I would have been a well done Percy twice now. The face the bull made after seeing I was still alive after getting blasted by fire though was hilarious, and I almost fell over laughing from which I'm sure if I did the horns or hooves would have killed me.

I felt as if Riptide wouldn't have been able to do much as I would have been too close and would easily open myself up for a counter attack which left my spear as my last remaining offensive weapon to use, and the only one I could use safely and effectively. Having decided to use my spear I figured the Celestial Bronze end would be better off dealing with the bull than the Minotaur's horn.

Of course my thought process only took mere seconds but those seconds were enough for the bull to not only further separate me from the rest of the camp, but enough time to also start charging me again. I dived out of the way, only to hear an extremely girlish scream, like worse than one of Aphrodite's daughter who just had her makeup and dress ruined, don't ask me about that.

I turned only to see Peter running away from the bull with a Cyclops just standing outside the boarder. "What's your name" I asked the Cyclops

"Tyson" He said happily

"Alright Tyson you have my permission to enter Camp Half blood" I said, only to see him turn happy and start running after the bull chasing Peter, "Tyson go help the phalanx, I'll take care of the other bull" I shouted only for Tyson to turn and body slam the other bull that wasn't attacking Peter.

I fire travelled to appear in front of the other bull which scared the Hades out of it just as much as my shield did earlier, but this time his momentum made it impossible for him to turn and run in time, as I took one swipe across it eyes blinding the bull before thrusting my spear in between where the eyes were, which only served for the bull to collapse on it's own legs, as I started hearing arguing from across the field and two spears sticking out of the other Colchis Bull.

Greaaaaaaaaat. Annabeth and Clarisse are going to do nothing but argue about this until they settle it in the arena, which may take weeks to happen. I walked over and noticed Tyson was slowly backing away from the two arguing demigods.

"Alright why don't you both take credit" I said, which only got them to turn on me and start arguing that it was their kill and not the other's.

"Would you two just stop arguing about it" I said after 5 minutes of their constant arguing which got them to shut up, "Good now since there's no real spoils of war, we should take the bulls over to Beckendorf and see if he can get them up and running so they work for camp" I said, which didn't solve anything, as they started arguing again.

"You know what" I said getting annoyed drawing Riptide and cutting off both horns before giving one to each of the two arguing girls, "Does that solve your problem you both got a horn as a spoil" I shouted and they both dropped the arguing seeing that I was angry.

"Good now, Tyson can you drag this hornless Colchis Bull over to that building over there please" I said pointing at the camp's forge. "Tell them that Percy sent you, to deliver the bull to Charles Beckendorf, to see if he can get it working to help with border patrol" I finished, and the young Cyclops nodded happily, before picking up the bull and carrying it over the forge.

"Is that" Annabeth and Clarisse started at the same time

"A young Cyclops? yes he is. I let him in, as we needed the help and he came here with Peter, and considering Peter isn't dead, I'm assuming he's good for now, but if we can train him properly, he would be a great help to protect camp and forge weapons but I feel as if Poseidon is..." I spoke, only to trail off as Poseidon's symbol appeared above the Cyclops

"well that settles it we can't kill him for now" I said, and the girls agreed.

"Now, Clarisse get your cabin back on boarder patrol, start in shifts if they are hungry so they can get a little food before continuing on. And Annabeth see if you can get any of the Hephaestus cabin, or Tyson, the young Cyclops son of Poseidon, to come help me with the other Bull" I said, and the girls nodded before running off in opposite directions to carry out what I asked them to do, as I went to the other colchis bull and cut off both of the massive silver horns on this one as well, claiming them as my spoils.

Of course, Peter just had to open his mouth as I finished, "Hey I helped I should get one of them, and what gives you the right to order around others. I'm the son of one of the big three, and your nothing but a maiden goddesses's child"

"One, no you didn't help, you actually ran away from the bull and I had to teleport in front of it to save your ass. Two I'm the champion of The eldest Olympian, the great and kind Lady Hestia" I said only to hear a slightly annoyed rumble of thunder, probably from Hestia, as she's much like me when it comes to praise, "and I've been blessed by the King of the Gods, the great lord of the Sky, and my grandfather, The mighty and powerful Lord Zeus" I finished though this time the rumble of thunder was in approval. And just to prove my point I summoned lightening and had it once again encase my spear as I pointed the spear at Peter, before sticking the metal end into the ground dispersing the electrical charge I gathered for it.

"Plus I don't order them around I asked them to do it for the safety of the camp" I finished , just as Tyson came back.

"The pretty and scary blonde girl said you requested me to help with the other Bull" Tyson said, which I almost laughed at his description of Annabeth, because he was completely correct, for those who haven't met her before and she can turn on scary like a switch for the lights.

"Yeah she can be scary when she wants too" I agreed, "and do you think you can carry this bull to the same place, I'll accompany you there this time though" I said, and Tyson happily nodded, agreeing to take the bull there.

We began our walk as Peter furiously stormed off to his father's cabin. "You know you've been claimed right, young cyclops" I asked, and he began looking scared for a moment before nodding.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill...at least not yet. You helped out today, and saved some of those I consider friends and family, and for that I thank you" I explained.

"Your welcome" He said with his happiness mostly returning.

"Keep it up, and maybe the others won't be so cold to you. Especially, the Ares cabin, you pull off a few more achievements like the ones you did today and they'll be your friend...so long as you don't brag about the achievements" I said

"So if I help others, than others will like me" He asked

"In essence yeah, but I suggest waiting before you think of working on one of the bulls. Let Beckendorf handle them, though if you help out making swords, shields, or even armor, I'm sure he'll warm up to you quicker then" I said, and he looked happy about that, as Cyclopses have a natural affinity towards forging.

"Then I'll do that" he said as we made it to the forge.

"Percy, why did you take the horns off" Bekendorf immediately complained, as he noticed I was there with two horns.

"Spoils of war, the other set is split between Annabeth and Clarisse" I said, "and no you aren't getting these either, as I plan on forging them into something useful sometime soon" I finished only to get a heavy sigh from Beckendorf

Tyson gasped before raising his hand like he was in school or something, at least that's what some of my younger sisters claim what modern day schooling is like. Beckendorf and I stared at him for a little while before he got the idea of asking Tyson what it was, "I can help make new horns" he said, which Beckendorf looked at me for advice on.

"I think it's a good idea, it can also be a good test to see his skills in the forge" I said, and Beckendorf nodded in agreement.

"Alright Tyson, I'm going to draw down a design for you and you can work on forging them out of some spare material we have" Beckendorf said, before motioning for Tyson to follow him.

Tyson looked back at me, before I told him to follow Beckendorf and start working on the new horns for the bulls.
