Percy however had finished his breakfast and mainly sat down on his table with his favorite book out, Game of Thrones. The book was starting to get exciting, the main hero had just been captured by the evil king, Percy couldn't wait to see how Ned Stark got out of this one.
Just then Chiron spoke up, "everyone! May I have your attention please?"
The campers all quieted down and Percy put away his book turning to Chiron. He saw the legendary teacher stand at the head table with Mera at his smiling at Percy. Percy waved to her and she waved back.
"Now, I am sure you are all wondering who this is," Chiron stepped to the side, "this is Mera, the daughter of Triton."
"What?!" a voice from the minor God's table called out. Percy turned to see that the person who shouted was Mark Copper, the very fist unclaimed Percy helped identify in camp using his, 'sensory powers.'
"It's true Mark," Percy called out, "she's also a mermaid."
Mark turned to Percy, "and how do you know that?"
"Because prince Percy saved my life," Mera said as a matter of fact as she narrowed her eyes at Mark, "and who are you?"
"I-I'm Mark. Son of Triton," the demigod muttered quietly.
"Hmm," Mera said inspecting her half brother, "well you do have father's cheek bones."
"Wait why did you call Percy prince?" Annabeth called out causing everyone to wonder the same. Percy groaned as he hit his head with his book, 'god damn it Annabeth!'
"It's because Percy is the son of Poseidon and is considered to be royalty in Atlantis," Mera replied in a matter of fact.
"Wait you're from Atlantis?" someone asked, "like the sunken city Atlantis?"
Mera nodded, "yes I am."
"So does that mean you can breath underwater like Percy?" Clarisse asked.
"Of course not," Mera said, "my powers are nothing like prince Percy's."
The cammpers looked confused. "Then how can you live underwater?" Annabeth asked.
"Simple," Mera said, "it's because I'm a mermaid."
The camp immediately went into a barrage of questions trying to learn her entire life history. Mera tried to answer them all but was quickly overrun by all the questions. Sensing her distress Chiron finally stepped in.
"Alright enough!" the man shouted, "now, Mera is here to be our tutor, she will be teaching magic to those who can perform it. Any questions?"
"When will she be taking classes?" Michael asked with excitement.
"Michael you have never once come to any of my training sessions," Percy said, "why the hell are you so excited now?"
"Because now I'm going to be taught by a super hot red headed mermaid and not a slave driving asshole!"
"Fuck you asshole!" Percy shot back as the camp laughed at the antics of the two friends.
Mera on the other hand blushed at Michael's comment while Clarisse glared at Michael himself.
"Alright enough," Chiron called out settling everyone down, "to answer your question Michael Mera will be taking calls every alternate day. That means you all will have a break from Percy's.....harsh training regimen."
"Okay I'm not that much of a slave driver am I?" Percy asked.
"YOU ARE!" the rest of the camp shouted back.
Percy frowned but kept quiet which caused everyone to laugh at him again. Soon the campers all left, Mera had taken her first class that day, but Percy and Thalia had went into the Forest to train alone.
Percy stopped in front of the fist of Zeus and turned to Thalia, "take my hand."
Thalia nodded and did so. Percy raised one hand up and activated his ID, 'ID create: Time dilation.'
The sky turned red as all sound died. Thalia took her hand off of Percy and went to reach for her weapons when Percy stopped her, "you won't need those here."
Thalia raised an eyebrow, "but the zombies-"
"-There are no zombies here," Percy said, "I have taken you into a special ID of mine, something I just recently discovered. The time dilation ID. Every four seconds you spend in here only one will pass out there."
Thalia blinked, "holy shit Percy! This is amazing! We can get so much training done in here!"
Percy nodded, "yeah, I know. I haven't really gotten around to use it, but with Mera now taking over some of the training I think I can spend more time in here."
Thalia nodded, "right. So what's first?"
Percy opened his inventory and pulled out the skill disk he obtained yesterday for delivering the giant to Olympus.
"This," he tossed the disk to Thalia, "is a skill disk."
Thalia caught it and began to inspect the device, "what does it do?"
"It increase one of my skills instantly. I usually get things like this as a reward for finishing a quest or something like that."
"Wait, so this is like what? A cheat code?"
"Kind of. Think of it as a booster seat for your skills. I don't like using it on complicated things, like sword fighting or the like, if my body suddenly starts to move before my mind can understand what is happening...well then things might get a little dicey."
Thalia nodded as she looked at the giant 10 on the disk, "so I assume this gives a boost of 10 levels to one skill?"
Percy nodded, "yup. And I want you to try and use it."
Thalia blinked , "how? I thought only you can use them?"
Percy shrugged, "I am assuming that only I can use them. But we will never know for sure unless we try."
Thalia nodded, "okay then, what should I do."
"Well...how about you try to focus really hard on one skill you want to improve. Just one skill and focus on nothing else. Hold the disk between your hands and try to put your mana into it, maybe that might activate it or something."
Thalia nodded, "okay...any suggestions on what I need to focus on?"
Percy scratched his head, "how about....your lighting powers. That is your best weapon, might as well stick to what you can do." Thalia nodded again and did just as Percy said. She closed her eyes and began pouring mana into the disk while scrunching her face in concentration.
The effect was instantaneous. The golden disk exploded into dust as Thalia was hit with a blast of energy.
"Thalia" Percy roared as she ran to her side. Thalia stumbled as little when Percy caught her, "are you okay?"
"Yeah," she grumbled, "just dizzy."
"Did it hurt you?"
"No, just gave me a nasty headache," Percy slowly helped Thalia get back on her feet and held her hand as he directed her to the stones.
"I never should have done this," Percy cursed himself as Thalia sat down, "I never should have risked your life!"
"Relax lover boy," Thalia huffed, "I'm fine. Just a headache is all."
Percy put his hand on Thalia's forehead and slowly it glowed gold. Thalia blinked, "thanks for that."
Percy nodded, "you were right, just a headache, nothing else...that I can detect."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "don't be a downer Percy and besides," Thalia's hands sparked, "I think it worked."
Percy smiled, "how does it feel? Do you feel more in control?"
Thalia nodded, "yeah. Plus it feels like it comes out more easily, like I don't have to ask it as much."
Percy nodded, "yeah, you are probably also spending less mana to control it. So...give it a whirl."
Thalia nodded as she pointed her hand at a tree and sent a blast of thunder at it. The recoil of the thunderbolt pushed Thalia back a bit and into the stones and the resulting lighting bolt was much larger than Thalia intended.
It didn't just damage the tree, it destroyed it.
Thalia and Percy looked at the stump that remained. The rest of the tree had been blown back 5 feet. Percy whistled, "remind me never to piss you off again."
Their training began in earnest then. Thalia was starting to get a handle on her boosted powers, she now realised what Percy meant by her body moving faster than her mind. It felt like suddenly driving a sports bike when all the time you had been driving a scooter.
Percy helped Thalia out, telling her how to push the mana outside and how to summon multiple bolt of lighting at once. Eventually, after an hour or so of hard work, Thalia managed to gain full control over her powers.
"Percy," Thalia said wiping the sweat off her brow, "just out of curiosity what level am I?"
Percy raised an eyebrow but Observed her anyway;

The greek demigoddess of Zeus, Thalia had run away from home at a very young age due to a fight with her mom and the disappearance of her baby brother Jason. She traveled with Luke and Annabeth for a long time becoming more and more powerful. She later performed the ultimate sacrifice by giving her life to save Grover, Annabeth and Luke's. Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a tree forming a barrier around camp protecting the people she cared for. She now is faced with the burden of facing the prophecy, but she is glad to have friends by her said to help her.

Dislikes: Heights, Zeus, her mother, Cyclops
She is head over heals in love with Percy
She is tired but feeling excited
Percy repeated the description to her word by word, putting extra fecisse on her feelings for him.
Thalia blushed at the last part, "it says I'm head over heals in love with you?"
Percy grinned, "yup."
Thalia shrugged, "well it's not lying....but how does it know all of that? What I love, what I hate? Wait.....it told you that I was afraid of heights?"
Percy blinked, "yeah. Why?"
Thalia gasped, "that means you knew! You knew I was scared of height!"
Percy nodded, "yeah....and? I told you, it's nothing to be ashamed of."
Thalia sighed, "yeah...but wait why does it still say that now?"
"Well you might have gotten your fear of heights, but that doesn't mean you don't like it any more. It just means that you aren't afraid of it."
Thalia nodded, "reasonable. Seriously though, how does it know all of this?"
"I told you this power was given to me by the Fates' themselves, obviously it can do a lot."
Thalia thought about before nodding, "sounds possible. So...what now?"
"Now, let's move on to wind," Percy said as he touched Thalia and took her back into the real world.
"Why are we back here?" Thalia asked.
"Simple, you need wind to make this work, the ID doesn't have any wind to control. I figured you need some real life wind to help you connect to it better. Maybe after you finally get the hang of it you can practice in the ID again," Percy explained as he stepped back, "now. Fly."
Thalia nodded as she closed her eyes in concentration. She struggled but slowly a huge gust of wind picked her up and held her up as she floated in mid air.
The way the wind kept her afloat was almost magical. Percy could see the joy it brought forth in her, he smiled, he was glad to have been of some help in getting her over her fear of heights.
"How do you feel?" Percy asked.
"Amazing," Thalia said looking at the way her clothes ruffled in the wind, "is this how you feel when in water?"
Percy nodded, "does it feel like you can do anything?"
"Yes."
"Then ya, it is."
"To think all this time I was so afraid, scared to even try. I never got to feel like this before, and now I can."
Percy smiled, "you know, you kind of look like an angel from heaven."
Thalia blushed as suddenly the winds stopped at together. Thalia fell on her butt as Percy couldn't help but laugh at her fall.
"Stop laughing asshole!" Thalia roared as he blush only grew, "it's your fault I got distracted!"
Percy reduced his laughter to a chuckle wiping away a single tear, "sorry. But you know I was just telling the truth," Percy helped Thalia up, "you really did look like someone who fell from heaven."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "we're Greek Percy, we don't have a heaven in the sky."
Percy shrugged, "details. Now," Percy grinned, "I want you to take me flying."
Thalia smiled back and nodded, "hold on tight."
Percy did so and could feel Thalia's boobs pressed up against his chest. Thalia smirked, "getting a good feel of them?"
Percy blushed, "s-shut up."
Thalia giggled as they suddenly took off into the air. Gusts of wind kept them afloat while Thalia soared through the air like a missile. Percy looked at her face, her eyes were practically glowing with happiness. The last time he has seen her this happy was when Percy woke up from his nap after the fight with Alcyoneus.
Thalia zoomed across the sky. She twisted and turned doing maneuvers Percy could never even dream of. Percy was sure that is Thalia ever became a pilot for some reason she would basically be the best pilot that ever lived. It was like the very sky itself existed to serve her, and in some way that was true.
Percy looked down and saw several of the demigods in the Arena look up at them and point in wonder and amazement at the sight before them. Percy grinned, they were all so small from this height.
Percy looked his girlfriend and smiled, "you really do look like an angel."
This time Thalia didn't lose focus. Instead she slowed down to a stop and kissed Percy for all he was worth.
Dinner time;
That day was a busty one for everyone in camp. By the end of it most of the campers all agreed on one single thing: children of sea Gods were fucking crazy!
Mera wasn't a kind and gentle soul like many people expected, especially the eager boys. Mera proved herself worse than Percy ever was. After going through just one day of her training they all realised that Percy didn't deserve the title slave driver, compared to Mera he was an encouraging and supportive teacher, like those trainers who 'train' rich clients in expensive gyms.
After dinner they all sat down around the camp hearth. Most were still sore, Mera had made them sit down in lotus position and try and draw out their mana. If anyone got distracted she would hit them with a hard slap or a fist made of water, which shouldn't hurt, but for some reason it did. It really did.
However this method of tough love seemed to be working as several demigods had unlocked their parental magic. Mera was proud of her achievement and was right now glued to Percy's left side as she told him about her day.
"-So I let them all take the afternoon off, poor dears, couldn't even last a few hours of training," Mera sighed, "really prince Percy you should have trained them better."
Percy chuckled as he looked at the demigods around him, "what do you think guys? Should I kick it up a notch?"
"NO!" everyone in camp responded at once. Percy flinched at the noise, he had never heard them all be so united about something. Heck Percy even detected a little bit of bloodlust coming from Clarisse, though that might have been more directed at Michael, who was staring at Mera's breasts, then at Percy.
