Thalia sighed, "I see. Sorry about this, for future use, I hereby give you permission to enter my cabin."
Percy smiled, "thanks."
Thalia then blinked, "wait...did you have me on your lap the entire time?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, couldn't have you sleep on the ground could I?"
Thalai blushed in embarrassment, "r-right. So...I ah, I did it."
"Right, let's test it out," Percy said. Thalia nodded and began to feel for her mana. She latched onto it and pulled it out. Percy could feel her mana pout out of her body and mix with the air around her. Percy smiled, "I think you just got a new power."
Thalia blinked, "what do you mean?"
"Try controlling the air around us," Percy said.
Thalia looked confused but did as he said. She poured mana outwards and then tried to control the wind. Suddenly big blast of wind knocked both of them off their feet. Thalia fell on top of Percy who groaned at the surprising gust of wind.
"Well, that was surprising. You definitely are stronger than Timmy at this," Percy said as he looked up to see Thalia just a few inches above him. Their faces were so close Percy could feel her breath on his skin. She smelled like pine trees, her hair fell down tickling Percy's face. He couldn't help but stare into those electric blue eyes and soon found himself lost in them.
The moment lasted for a minute before Percy snapped out of it, "ah….so you can control the wind."
Thalia nodded, "right." she got off him and helped Percy up, "so, how did I do that?"
Percy patted the dirt of his jacket, "well mana you see works with everything. Think of it like glue, you apply it on some substance, you can control it. Now that isn't always the case, you can't just simply stick your mana at everything and expect it to work. For instance if I put mana into my arms and focus on creating earthquakes, I can create literal earthquakes. You on the other hand are the daughter of Zeus, meaning you can control lighting, and as we see now, wind."
Thalia nodded taking all this information in. "So, this is it? This is why you wanted me to unlock my mana? To unlock more of my godly powers?"
Percy shrugged, "partly yes, partly no. I didn't actually know that you could control the wind, I never really thought of it. But it is a welcome bonus. But I did want you to unlock it so that I could teach you the different spells I know."
"You mean like that Rock skin spell of yours?"
Percy nodded, "precisely," he then opened his inventory and pulled out a scroll and gave it to Thalia, "I have written down the entire spell in this scroll. It have clear instructions and tips on how to do it. I would try and help you, but I think it would be better if you tried to learn it on your own. After all you still need to get the hang of controlling your mana, and that's something I can't teach you."
Thalia nodded and took the scroll putting it inside her jacket pocket, "thanks for this. And sorry about...you know knocking you over."
"Really? I thought you would be more sorry about hitting me with lighting."
Thalia grumbled, "you are the one who wanted to sit next to me and hold hands."
Percy laughed, "fair enough. Oh, and I am curious, how did you manage to control your mana in the end?"
Thalia blushed, "that's none of your business."
Percy shrugged, "okay….want to get dinner?" Thalia nodded and the two began walking out of the Forest.
"You did great today," Percy began, "its going to take Nico and Bianca longer to get it, after all they just discovered how to use their godly powers. Hopefully by then I can teach you a lot more."
Thalia nodded, "right…..hey Percy can I ask you a personal question?"
Percy nodded, "shoot."
"How is…. How is your relationship with your dad?" Thalia asked, "I man do you guys talk?"
Percy wondered for a while, "well, only when we need to. I talked to him two days ago, and before that I talked to him while on my quest. So...I think we get along pretty okay. But that's mostly because we are so alike. He knows not to interfere too much and I know he may not always have time for me."
Thalia sighed, "yeah, that's what I was afraid off."
"What happened? Zeus giving you trouble?" Percy asked with a smile.
"No….yes. He's… he tried to reach out to me a couple of days ago. Wanted to set things right. God damn bastard."
Percy chuckled, "I'm surprised he let you get away with that. Last time I insulted him the sky rumbled with thunder for hours."
"Yeah well I'm his daughter, I can call him whatever I want."
"Right, so Zeus wanted to talk. What happened?"
"I didn't want to talk to him. Bastard ruined my mom's life, than mine. And he thinks all he has to do in walk in give a few tickets and suddenly expect everything to be alright again."
"Thalia…. Having a God for a dad is tough. Sometimes you want to kick his ass, but you know you can't because….well he's a God. But they do have their own way of showing that they care, at least of their own kids. You see I noticed that the Gods love their kids, they hate everyone else, but they love their kids. So.. no, you don't have to forgive him. I don't expect you too, no one does. But you gotta understand that he's different than us. The Gods don't' see emotions the same way human do. Some, Like Hermes and Artemis, are level headed. But other...well mostly the Elder Gods are kind of crazy. Heck my dad is bipolar as fuck, Hades is paranoid and holds a grudge, and your dad is man whore."
The sky roared out with thunder as Percy pointed up, "he also apparently get's his feelings hurt really easily."
Thalia chuckled, "yeah I guess you're right. Sigh, I kinda regret not going with him now."
