In this chapter we find out how Percy changed the camp and Lilly will start training.

Radio talk and character thoughts.

Percy POV

"So she openly tried to recruit her?" Percy asked through clenched teeth, trying to remain calm, so as to not crush everything in the Big house (including Brandon) with his telekinetic abilities.

"Yes sir, they didn't seem to care when I told them that she was forbidden to join, or that you gave explicit orders for her not to, they still attempted." Brandon summed up to his lord.

"And you say they are coming here?" Percy asked

"Yes my lord, for what purpose I do not know"

"There coming here to try and heal their pride from when they lost to us at capture the flag last time, we have been beating them more and more lately. Tell me Brandon, how many hunters were there?"

"I counted at least fifty, sir."

"Well that won't be much fun." I muttered, since there are over three hundred campers, including the minor gods' kids, whenever the hunters came to camp, not all the campers could participate because of the large number of campers and the smaller number of hunters, so that means fifty hunters vs. fifty campers in capture the flag.

"Brandon, when Lilly is done getting the tour from Grover, I want her abilities tested, she will be participating in capture the flag, and I want her ready."

"Yes sir." Brandon saluted, and I dismissed him so he could get Lilly ready.

Lilly POV

Lilly was absolutely amazed at the camp, for one there are over three hundred campers, two, all the different stuff you could do, and three the amazing weapons.

Grover, who is half goat by the way, said a lot of the activities they do now were my dad's idea when he took over as camp director. There were medical classes where campers learned how to treat wounds when nectar or ambrosia weren't available, there was monsters class where campers learned about different types of monsters and how to combat them, the people who taught these classes were referred to as veterans, who are campers that have been here for a few years, and my favorite so far was an obstacle course, a group of campers had to make from one end to the other and take the flag at the end, as they were being fired at by enchanted crossbows mounted on tripods, that didn't need anyone too shoot them and they didn't need to be reloaded, they just swerved in the direction of a camper and started shooting, Some of the campers were armed with crossbows that also didn't need reloading and when they fired at the turrets they would explode into that Greek fire stuff, other had swords and deflected the bolts or got close enough to destroy the crossbows.

"Hey Grover, what if a camper gets hit by one of the turrets?" I was a little curious, like what if someone got hit the neck or head.

"The bolts are enchanted so that instead of killing someone, you'll only get a decent sized bruise." He said.

"What about the turrets that get destroyed?"

"There self repairing, they'll be back up and shooting for the next group in about twenty minutes."

Now I thought that was cool, Grover told that this was sort of like the main exercise for campers; it gave them good reflexes and teamwork abilities.

"Your dad supplies different types of weapons for them and even upped the security, we used to just rely on the magical borders to keep monsters out, but Persues didn't want us getting lazy, so now we watch towers with ballista's on top along the property line and constant border patrols." Grover explained

"Why doesn't my dad supply the camp with more modern weapons, I mean it seems kind of stupid since some of the monsters I've heard of would use those swords as tooth picks." (A:N/ This is where I to question the PJO series their parents are gods that can make almost anything out of thin air, yet they send their kids to fight monsters sometimes, five times their size with oversized knives... That is bad parenting in my opinion)

Grover seemed to get a little nervous at that, but explained anyway. "Your dad tried to arm demigods with more modern weapons, but most of the other Olympians wouldn't allow it, they felt it was breaking tradition."(A:N/ Best I could come up with as to why the gods wouldn't give their kids modern day weapons, I mean come on would any of you want to fight the Minotaur or a Hydra or a Cyclops with a sword or an M16A1 rifle with an M203 40mm grenade launcher, seriously which one, but don't get me wrong there still great books)

"So dad substitutes by using enchanted weapons that, kind of mimic them."

"Yeah your dad is the god of heroes, so it's his job to take care of them as best he can, so when a majority of the gods declined his suggestion for modern weapons he did the next best thing." He gestured to the demigods that managed to get to the other side of the obstacle course and succeeded in getting the flag, and the turrets that weren't destroyed stopped firing, the obstacle course was a mess of knocked over crates and barrels that were used for cover, but Lilly noticed that they repairing and repositioning themselves. She could see how this course was helpful; it enhanced your reflexes and helped you work on your speed.

"What about the camps defenses, I mean do you just rely on Thalia's tree to keep them out"?

Grover scratched the back of his head, "We used to, but that another thing that changed when your dad came, we now have four story towers along the property line, armed with ballista's and border patrols working between the towers, so now we have a lot more security then before."

"Oh, so what else changed when my dad came?" She asks, genuinely curious about the changes that have happened when her dad showed up.

"Well the tests are one thing."

"Tests?"

"Yeah, they determine what your specialty is, like some Apollo kids are better with medicine then archery, so they would determined best as a medic, and some kids are strategists, frontline fighters, scouts, aerial combat, artillery support, support fighters or naval warfare, which was the least surprising considering who your dad's dad is."

Lilly thought about and the whole process to her seemed a little confusing but organized, it would make sense that that some demigods would specialize in different areas then most.

"So what demigods are usually in what category?"

"Well Athena's kids are obviously the strategists, frontline fighters almost always Ares, scouts are Apollo and Hermes, aerial fighters are Zeus and Poseidon" Lilly gave him a questioning look at the Poseidon part" Poseidon's kids are VERY good on the Pegasus, since he did create horses and all, but back on topic, artillery is Hephaestus since they build most of the stuff and a lot of them are good frontline fighters and trap experts, support fighters are usually Apollo, and the Poseidon kids obviously lead the navy with the help of the other kids and the minor demigods...well there all pretty much well rounded in all areas."

Lilly could see how everyone would fit into this system, and she had seen the areas were they kept all the heavier stuff, the artillery she saw was mobile ballista's and catapults along with trebuchets and other mobile artillery that could be found from the height of the Roman empire to the medieval ages and the navy when she and Grover had past the docks were small and large yachts armed with mounted crossbows, ballista's and rotating catapults.

"So when am I going to take the test?"

"I'm sure your dad has something planned for you since you are the first demigod of Perseus to show up."

"Lilly." someone from behind them called, and they saw it was Brandon wearing his knight gear, coming towards them while the Campers(A/N; IF you can call them that now) were giving him a wide berth... hey they maybe tough, but no one wants to anger a guy who could probably crush you wave of his hand, doing so is probably hazardous to ones health.

He soon reached them and spoke to Lilly.

"Lilly I need you to come with me to the training arena, your father wants me to test and train you."

"What for?" I asked since I pretty much just got here today.

"Your father wants you to participate in capture the flag against the hunter's and he wants you to be ready."

"Whoa, aren't we moving a little fast here?" Grover asked

"His daughter, he'll decide how to train her, now let's go!"

I already knew this was going to be a very hard test... I hate tests.

FINALLY!

I seriously need to update faster because all these ideas I get over the months I don't update and feel like I'm adding to many elements to the story and eventually everyone is going to get lost on this story, including me. Anyway this chapter was just to show what changes were done at the camp since Percy took over.

Tell me what you think!
