Raya's POV:
I walked to the lotus stand where my older sister was currently talking with a group of wounded woodwailers.

"Thou must rest and recover, I will send the twin adder in your place" she said and one of the wailers shook his head

"I need to ensure the safety of the boy, it is my responsibility elder seedseer" he said and my sister nodded understandingly

"Of course, we'll see the conjurers guild for expedited healing" she advised and the wailer nodded and walked off with a large limp and I walked up to my sister

"Kan." I said in greeting

"Raya, what brings you here?" My sister asked confused and I smiled slightly

"The elementals have spoke to me, I must head to little solace and speak with the new comer there, they have drawn the attention of the elementals" I said and my sister looked down in thought

"Normally I would allow this but lately there has been a lot of activity by the poachers, having you go to little solace would put you in great danger" she said but I crossed my arms

"Elder seedseer, I would gladly escort miss Raya to little solace" the woodwailer from before said and my sister looked at him as did I

"And you would guarantee her safety?" She asked and the wailer nodded "Very well Sergent, I will trust you" she finished and smiled at me "it seems your mission is approved"

I turned to the Sergent and he smiled.

"It would be an honor to escort you miss Raya, when do you want to leave for little solace?" He asked and I smiled

"As soon as possible" I said and he nodded as he saluted

"We move tonight then" he said and I nodded as I left to pack a bag

(A few hours later)

I found myself at the gate of Gridania waiting for the Sergent to arrive so we could start our journey to little solace. Eventually he showed up with a small force of twenty other wood wailers and we set off to the East.

"So Sergent who were you talking about with my sister? If I may ask?" I asked kindly and he nodded

"Two days or so ago a boy was held captive by the courel claws, the wood wailers had freed him but we were ambushed, I told him to run and he listened but I don't know what happened to him then the storm hit and we were forced to retreat. I need to find him" he said and I nodded

"Well I'm heading to little solace because of the elementals being concerned about a person there" I explained and he nodded

"Well maybe our duties will intertwine" he said and I nodded with a small feeling that they will

Percy's POV:

I woke up with light shining on my face blinding me slightly. I raised a hand to block the light when I heard fluttering of wings and voices. I groaned and rolled over thinking the huntresses were pulling a prank on me when I fell off the bed and through the floor. I kept falling and hit the ground with a large thud groaning at the cracked rib I received.

"I regret everything..." I groaned as I rolled over and saw several flying green creatures floating towards me

"Is water wielding one okay? Is water wielding one injured?!" The green thing said and I groaned as I willed water to me and felt the rib slowly heal

"I am fine thank you..." I said as I stood up and willed the water away before stretching "Where in Olympus am I?" I stated and the leaf creatures looked at me

"Water wielding one is in little solace where these ones live! Water wielding one went unconscious after water wielding one stole control from the elementals. Water wielding one protected little solace from touched ones, water wielding one is always welcome in little solace!" They said and I laughed slightly

I was concerned about the speech they were using but I shrugged it off. I then pulled riptide out and sighed as I remembered killing the poachers the other day with the godly blade.

"Is water wielding one okay? Water wielding one was staring into the distance" the thing said and I shook my head

"I'm fine, just busy with trying to figuring out how to deal with not having a weapon" I explained and the green thing hovered around

"Why not just make a new one?" It said and I considered it

"I'll have to I guess if I want a weapon" I said as I walked around looking for a suitable place for a forge

Once I found a decent spot I started clearing the area to place the anvil. After I finished that I followed Leo's advice and created my own anvil.

"Water wielding one, what are you doing?" The floating vegetable said

"Creating an anvil to forge my own sword so I have a weapon" I said and it nodded before several others flew down with a lot of metal and natural materials

"These ones thought we would help by giving water wielding one materials to make a weapon!" They said and I smiled

"Thank you, what are you guys anyway?" I asked as I started rummaging

"These ones are Sylph ones" the sylph said and I nodded as I found a good chunk of high quality steel and started heating it up using a fire

Over time I made a high quality steel sword that I could wield with one or two hands. I then created a sheathe and put the blade away as the sun began to set.

Once the sun set I made a small bed on the ground and fell asleep. However my peaceful sleep was ended as the dream returned.

The pain and suffering of the dragon that destroyed the world. The anger that washes over the land. I knew it was going to be a long dream.
