Yami Weapon

After the training session, Hikari felt invigorated. The power of Charm Talk gave him a sense of confidence he hadn't experienced before. As he walked through the camp, he couldn't help but smile at the other demigods, excited to see how he could apply what he'd learned.

He spotted Natsuki and Yami near the lake, chatting and laughing. Hikari approached them, eager to share his experience.

"Hey, guys! You won't believe what I learned!" Hikari called out, waving as he neared them.

Natsuki looked up, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What's up, Hikari?"

"I just had a training session with Chiron about my powers. I learned about Charm Talk! It's pretty cool!" Hikari said, beaming with enthusiasm.

Yami raised an eyebrow. "Charm Talk? Sounds like something a kid of Aphrodite would have. What does it do?"

"It's like a way to persuade people to listen to you or follow your suggestions," Hikari explained. "Chiron says it can be really powerful if used wisely."

"Can you try it on us?" Natsuki asked, grinning. "I want to see if it really works!"

"Alright, but remember, no forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to," Hikari cautioned, remembering Chiron's advice.

He focused on Yami first. "Hey, Yami, I want you to agree that we should have a training session together tomorrow morning. It'll be fun and help us all improve."

For a moment, Yami looked thoughtful. "Sure, why not? Training sounds good!"

Hikari blinked in surprise. "It worked!"

Natsuki clapped her hands. "Awesome! Now me!"

Hikari turned to her. "Natsuki, how about we have a mini-demon battle practice later today? You'll be the best warrior out there."

Natsuki nodded, her expression shifting to determination. "I'm in! Let's show those monsters who's boss!"

"I can't believe this!" Hikari said, excitement bubbling inside him. "I'm really starting to understand how this works!"

As they chatted, Chiron walked past, overhearing their conversation. He smiled knowingly. "Looks like someone is mastering the art of persuasion."

Hikari grinned back at him. "It's pretty amazing, Chiron. I'm really starting to feel like I belong here."

Chiron nodded approvingly. "You're doing well, Hikari. Just remember to use your abilities for good. The influence you have can shape the destinies of those around you."

With newfound confidence, Hikari spent the rest of the day with Natsuki and Yami, training and honing his skills. They practiced their fighting techniques and strategized ways to face any monsters that might come their way.

Later that evening, as the sun began to set, Hikari found himself standing by the lake, lost in thought. The water reflected the brilliant colors of the sky, and he felt a deep sense of peace wash over him.

Suddenly, Natsuki joined him, her expression contemplative. "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"I was just reflecting on everything that's happened since I got here," Hikari admitted. "It feels like I've found a new family, and I want to make them proud."

Natsuki smiled warmly. "You're doing great, Hikari. We all believe in you. Just be yourself, and you'll find your way."

As night fell, the campfire was lit, and the campers gathered to share stories and laughter. Hikari felt a sense of belonging envelop him, realizing that he had found a place where he could thrive. He looked around at his new friends, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Hikari then looked at Yami. "So did you get anything from Eris"

Yami looked at him. "No noting from my mother, unlike you, I still haven't gotten a weapon, it is not like something is going to drop from the sky from my mother".

As then a Coin fell from the sky and landed on Yami hand, as it then turned into a Scythe.

Natsuki just looked at him. "Will that convenient timing"

Hikari stared at the scythe in disbelief. "Well, looks like you spoke too soon."

Yami examined the scythe in his hand, the blade gleaming in the fading light. It had an elegant, dark metal design, with intricate carvings along the handle. "What the... Did this seriously just drop from the sky?"

Natsuki nodded, her expression amused. "Looks like your mom finally sent you a gift after all. That's some timing."

Yami grinned, still a bit in shock. "I guess Eris has a sense of humor."

Hikari chuckled. "So, what can it do? I mean, we know it's a scythe, but I bet there's more to it."

Yami spun the scythe experimentally, feeling its weight. "I don't know yet, but if it's from Eris, there's probably some chaos involved. I'll have to try it out during training."

Natsuki leaned closer, inspecting the weapon. "That's a pretty cool scythe. Looks like it could cause some serious damage."

Yami nodded, the scythe shrinking back into a coin in his hand. "I guess it's like your watch, Hikari—only shows up when I need it."

Hikari smiled. "Seems like you're ready for battle now. Looks like we're all getting our weapons sorted out."

Yami flipped the coin once before tucking it into his pocket. "Yeah, I just hope I don't accidentally summon it while I'm in the mess hall or something."

Natsuki laughed. "That would definitely create some chaos. But hey, we're all part of this crazy world now. Nothing's normal."

With the newfound weapon in Yami's possession, the three of them felt even more prepared for the challenges ahead.

The next day Hikari was Training, as he was doing fight training with someone, be was Like, there blades clash as then Hikari sword was yeated out of his arm

Luke looked at him with a smirk. No so powerful with out your advance weapon now are you"

Hikari shrugged, his stance relaxed, but his eyes still sharp. "I don't need a sword to beat your ass."

Luke raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Really? You're only 12, how—"

Before Luke could finish, Hikari swiftly punched him in the face, cutting him off. Luke stumbled back, surprised. Hikari followed up with a quick kick, which Luke managed to block, but the force of the punch had already thrown him off balance. Before Luke could react, Hikari landed another punch to his gut, making Luke stagger backward.

Recovering quickly, Luke went for a swing, but Hikari dodged, sweeping Luke's legs out from under him, causing him to fall hard on his feet. As Luke tried to stand, Hikari landed a swift kick to his leg, sending him crashing to the ground once more.

Luke, groaning in pain, looked up at him in disbelief. "What... was that?"

Hikari cracked his knuckles, breathing steadily. "I'm a black belt. What I use is a fusion of Shaolin Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a bit of kickboxing and boxing."

Luke blinked, staring at him in shock. "No wonder your weapon is a gauntlet…"

Hikari grinned, stepping back and offering a hand to help Luke up. "Told you, I don't need a sword to handle you."

Luke, still catching his breath, accepted the hand and stood up. "You fight like that without a weapon? No wonder you were so calm."

Hikari smirked, his confidence growing. "Like I said, I don't need a sword."

Luke laughed, rubbing the sore spot on his leg. "Guess I shouldn't underestimate the 'pretty boy' from the Aphrodite cabin. You pack a punch."

Hikari gave a playful shrug. "Aphrodite cabin or not, I'm here to fight, not to look good."

Luke grinned, finally back on his feet, though still a bit wobbly. "Alright, alright, I admit it. You got some skills. But don't get cocky. Next time, I won't go easy on you."

Hikari smirked. "You weren't going easy on me, Luke. You just got surprised."

Luke gave him a grudging nod. "Fair enough. Let's see how you do when we're both using weapons next time."

As they both caught their breath, Chiron, who had been watching from the sidelines, approached them. "Good fight, both of you. Hikari, your hand-to-hand combat skills are impressive, but remember, combining those skills with your weapon will make you even more formidable."

Hikari nodded, glancing at his watch. "Yeah, I'll work on that."

Luke grinned, patting Hikari on the back. "Just don't leave me with bruises next time, alright?"

Hikari chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "No promises."

Hikari then looked at Chiron. "Oh yeah, I wanna ask what does it mean too he a Champion of a god, like what does it mean for me"

Chiron looked at him. "Do you want the list or a specific answe"

Hikari blinker. "the list and and um any powers"

Chiron looked at him. "Yes, do to you being the Champion of Hephaestus and Ares, From Hephaestus you get the powers over Fire and forge, as for Ares Battle lust and will Killing instinct"

Hikari looked at him. "Killing Instinct... So blood lust"

Chiron nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, but it's not just that. It's an instinct that allows you to read a battlefield, sense weaknesses, and react without hesitation. It can be dangerous if not controlled, but in the right hands, it's incredibly powerful. You'll be able to fight with heightened awareness, your senses sharper than most, but you'll have to be careful not to let it overwhelm you."

Hikari took a deep breath, processing the information. "So, I'll have to learn to control this... bloodlust. What about the fire and forge? Is that like, I can summon fire or something?"

Chiron smiled slightly. "It's more than just summoning fire. You'll be able to manipulate it, shape it to your will. The forge aspect means you'll also have an innate understanding of craftsmanship and the ability to create weapons, armor, and other items. Hephaestus doesn't just give power over fire; he gives mastery over creation through fire. With time and practice, you'll be able to forge items that can rival the gods themselves."

Hikari blinked, trying to imagine himself doing something like that. "That sounds... a bit much. But I guess it's cool. What about Ares? Aside from the battle stuff, is there anything else?"

Chiron thought for a moment before speaking. "Ares grants a deep connection to warfare and combat. You may find yourself becoming more tactical, able to strategize even in the heat of battle. And yes, the bloodlust, as you called it, can enhance your physical abilities in battle. Strength, speed, and endurance—these will all be heightened in the thick of a fight."

Hikari nodded slowly. "So... I get stronger the more I fight?"

Chiron gave him a knowing look. "Yes, but it's not limitless. You still need to train, to understand your limits, and to avoid letting that power consume you. Both of these gods, Hephaestus and Ares, can be volatile in their own ways. The key will be finding balance between them."

Hikari scratched the back of his head, still a bit overwhelmed by everything. "Great... no pressure then."

Hikari looked at his watch. "And evene after all of that my dad had to die"

Luke looked at him. "So you don't know"

Hikari looked at him. "What do you mean"

Chiron answers him. "Your father was tunred to dust, he was not killed which means he went to Underworld and which means Paul is in the underworld".

Hikari face went dark as his bloodlust went out. "How do I go to the Underworld".

Chiron's expression turned cautious as he observed the sudden shift in Hikari's demeanor, sensing the surge of bloodlust radiating from him. "Hikari," Chiron spoke in a calm and measured tone, "you need to control your emotions. The Underworld isn't a place you can just walk into, especially not in your current state."

Hikari clenched his fists, his mind consumed by the thought of his father, Paul, being trapped in the Underworld. "I need to get him out," Hikari growled. "Tell me how."

Luke, standing nearby, exchanged a glance with Chiron, sensing the tension. "There are ways to reach the Underworld," Luke spoke cautiously. "But it's not that simple, Hikari. You need more than just determination to survive there."

Chiron nodded in agreement. "The Underworld is dangerous, even for demigods. There are trials, and the Lord of the Dead, Hades, doesn't take kindly to intruders. You'll need a plan, allies, and most importantly, control over your powers. If you storm down there with your bloodlust, it'll only lead to more disaster."

Hikari's eyes flickered with a dangerous intensity. "I don't care about Hades or trials. I need to get my dad back."

Chiron stepped forward, placing a hand on Hikari's shoulder, his voice steady and firm. "I understand your pain, but rushing into the Underworld unprepared will only end in tragedy. If you want to do this, you must be patient and train. There are ancient ways to access the Underworld, but you need to be ready for what lies ahead."

Hikari took a deep breath, trying to push down the rage building inside him. "Then what do I need to do?"

Chiron looked him in the eyes. "You need to master the powers you've been given. Learn to wield both Hephaestus's fire and Ares's battle instincts. Only then will you stand a chance of surviving the journey into the Underworld. And when the time comes, we'll find a way to get you there safely."

Hikari clenched his fists once more, but this time with determination rather than anger. "Alright," he said quietly. "I'll train. But when the time comes, I'm going to bring him back."
