[Third Person's PoV]
After Annabeth finished explaining her abilities, a smug smile spread across her face, practically lighting up her sharp features. "I have so many ideas for things to build and create! It's incredible… I mean, just think of the possibilities. With my alchemy alone, I could create homunculi—artificial servants who would fight for me~" Her voice brimmed with enthusiasm as her fingers flexed, and she gazed down at her hands with an almost feverish gleam in her stormy gray eyes.
"Alright, Frankenstein, calm down," Thalia said, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes. "You're getting way ahead of yourself."
Annabeth ignored her, her expression turning mischievous. She traced a precise transmutation circle into the dust-covered floor with her finger. The lines, though rough, carried an air of purpose. As soon as her palm pressed against the circle, a spark of energy surged. The faint crackle of electricity filled the air.
The ground around the circle began to shift. Matter was torn apart at a molecular level, compressing, reshaping. Slowly, a portion of the floor sank as Annabeth guided the material into her desired form. With a flick of her wrist, a silver gleam emerged from the transmuted stone. The sword rose in sync with her hand, its edges glinting dangerously under the light..
Annabeth held the silver sword with both her hands and began to chuckle creepily, "Heh, heh, heh, heh"
When she looked towards Lucian, she saw his eyebrows twitching as he said, "Fix my floor"
Annabeth pouted, "You can show at least bit more excitement, I mean look at this cool sword I created~ You take hours crafting a weapon when I can just do it in a single second"
"Mines a dedicated craft, yours is an easy way out" Lucian scoffed rolling his eyes.
"If you're jealous just say so~" Annabeth waving her sword lazily.
Lucian used the ring's minor telekinesis to snatch her sword from her hand. He held it between his two hands with his index finger and thumb and snapped it in half easily making it look like he was just snapping a twig, Annabeth let out a gasp.
"Now tell me, why would I be jealous? I don't think any of my creations would do that?" Lucian said smugly.
"Well for one you dick, it isn't made out of celestial bronze" Annabeth scoffed, "And two I wasn't trying, that wasn't my serious creation"
"Yo! Big bro! Where are you?! We're ready for that tour!"
Hearing Nico's voice they all came out of the basement. Bianca looked at them weirdly as Thalia had a look that said she was mentally tired, and behind her were the two leading cause of it.
Annabeth and Lucian were seen slapping and flapping their arms at each other with an irritated expression.
"Just admit it!" Annabeth exclaimed
"Never!" Lucian retorted as they continued slap boxing.
"What's with them?" Bianca asked
Thalia let out a sigh, "Ignored them, think of it as them being childish"
Bianca and Nico just looked towards each other before they were led on to their tour of the camp. The campers were still seen moving around as the camp now looked decorated as if it was the summer festival about to take place.
Nico and Bianca show building after building, and were explained their functionality and each cabin that took care of said building.
"Wait, so Lucian really did build these?" Bianca asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, although of course he didn't do it alone, the entire camp helped out. But Annabeth and Lucian were the forerunners" Thalia explained.
"Huh, you weren't lying to impress us?" Nico asked, taken aback.
"Do I look like a liar?" Lucian scoffed smugly.
"Well… You do look a little deceitful" Nico said, waving his hand side to side.
"Phttt" the other three laughed, while Lucian looked at Nico with a straight expression.
Nico just looked at Lucian apologically.
Just then after they finished with the tour they heard Charon's voice resound through the camp, "All campers gather around, it's time we get together for the festivities to begin!"
Soon all the campers gathered and sat around the campfire even though it was still the middle of the day.
Percy was seen sitting down on one of the Logs eyeing Luke as he leaned against one of the trees with nonchalant expression, a small smile creeping along his lips.
However it seems like Percy wasn't going to act just yet, he chose to ignore Luke for now and simply enjoy the celebration before confronting him as seen by Luke's expression he wasn't going anywhere for now.
Clarisse was standing behind Percy while Grover sat next to him just looking towards Luke sadly.
Charon cleared his throat, "Before we begin I would like to say a few words." Charon began to stop all the side whispers and conversations that were happening around them.
once they dwindled he continued, "First of all let's all give a round of applause for all of our quest takers who journeyed out and returned back safely"
There was a thunderous applause with added whistles and cheers.
"Man, the more I think I think about it the scarier Lucian gets…"
"I know what you mean, there hasn't been a single quest where Lucian has been in where there was a casualty or was considered a failure"
"I'll tell you what, I wouldn't want to be his enemy, that's for sure~"
As Luke was slowly clapping, his eyebrow twitched hearing the mutters, 'It's like they're trying to rub it on my face that most of these cowards declined because they were afraid of Lucian'
"Let's all be thankful that we don't have to take a moment of silence for any fallen comrades during this time. So in this moment you won't be having a celebration for the dead but for you all, for the living. Now before I announce the start of this party, would any of our quest takers like to say a few words?"
They all shook their heads except for Lucian, who raised his hands pretty high into the air.
"Lucian, would you like to say something to start this party?" Chiron asked with a smile.
Lucian nodded with a serious expression as he stood up and cleared his throat, "LET'S ALL GET NAKED! WOOOOOOH!!!" He shouted, throwing rock and roll signs in the air.
"..."
Everyone was already used to Lucian's weirdness and all just shouted in agreement, "WOOOOOOH!!!"
Bianca looked mortified and muttered, "Are we truly related?"
Nico shrugged and threw up rock and roll signs with everyone else which earned him a slap on the back of the head by Bianca.
"Owie" Nico muttered rubbing where he was struck, he glared towards Bianca and asked, "What was that for!?"
Bianca rolled her eyes, "Don't copy his weirdness. One of him is already more than enough, I don't you turning out like him as well. Especially since you're my full blood related brother"
Nico only pouted as he continued to glare at Bianca and the party at Camp Half-Blood had officially started.
