Liam Spence: The Beginning chapter 4

Later that week, Michael, Jake and Adam took me to get my first weapon. They wanted me to have an epic weapon so they got Christopher Olslin from the Ares cabin and Josh Hamdre from the Hephaestus cabin to brainstorm then they gave me a... Wristwatch. "A wristwatch, really? At least i can tell what time the monsters are going to eat me". "Watch it, I don't like sourpusses so why don't you just shut it" said Christopher, but luckily Josh intervened "tap the watch" he said. I did and suddenly I was holding a machine gun with a knife and scope attached, a broadsword strapped to my back and a sabre strapped to my side "nice, three in one" I said. Christopher and Josh explained to me that the bullets were enchanted to return to the gun after they hit its target. "Ok that's extremely cool"

I asked, Michael pointed to my head and above me was a glowing green trident. Chiron saw and knelt and so did everyone else. "Hail Liam Spence, son of Poseidon."

I knew why Adam and Michael treated me so kindly, I am their cousin. Later all the other capers always stopped and stared at me and whispered to themselves, it was nice having all this attention but i wished they weren't so afraid. I sat down on the steps of cabin #3 and sighed. "Why so sad, cuz?" Said a voice behind me and I nearly jumped so high i would've flew as high as Adam. "Michael, i really hate it when you do that". He chuckled and sat next to me "look, Liam, i know how it is to suddenly be claimed by one of the 'big three', its hard at first but later people start being less afraid of me, Adam went through the same thing". I sighed, "but what if they aren't afraid of me, what if they just don't like me?" He looked down for a second, "how about you come down to the lake later, I'll show you something
