"I do," Percy nodded, "because I believe in you."
"Why? You barely even know me," Thalia said.
"Because you gave your life for your friends. You died to protect them. And the barrier around camp, the one that is keeping all the monsters away, you made that. Zeus may have given the power, but Chiron told me that it was your love for your friends that gave it form. It is your love for them that protected us all. That, Thalia Grace, is why I believe in you."
Thalia looked at Percy in awe as tears started leaking from the corner of her eyes.
"Thalia are you okay? I'm sorry if I-"
"-oh shut up fish head," Thalia said wiping her tears and smiling brightly, "these are tears of joy."
Percy sighed in relief, "oh thank the Gods. I thought I did something stupid again."
"Not this time Jackson," Thalia said as she playfully punched Percy's shoulder, "although I may surprise, you give one hell of a motivational speech."
Percy grinned, "yeah, one of my many skills." 'Wait...it isn't a skill….don't tell me-'
Ping!
You have created a new skill!
Motivations speaking, Lv- 1 (50%)
Motivates other people around you.
20% chance of working provided the person isn't depressed or suffering from any other negative status effects.
Percy sighed and closed the box. Just then Thalia's stomach grumbled as the daughter of Zeus blushed in embarrassment.
"Damn, i forgot about lunch," she said smiling sheepishly, "do you think the Mess Hall would be open right now?"
"Probably not," Percy said causing Thalia to sigh in disappointment, "but I can do you one better."
Percy then opened his inventory and pulled out one of the many food items he had gotten from the Lotus Casino, a large cheese and bacon pizza.
"Woah! I didn't know you could store food!"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "you saw me store human beings but you thought I couldn't store food?"
Thalia shrugged, "the thought just never crossed my mind."
The Pizza still had the metal plate under it so Percy just put it besides Thalia, "dig in."
"Thank you Gods!" Thalia said as she began to dig into her food.
"Don't thank them, I'm the one you should be grateful to."
"Yea buft thez geav yoh youh powah soa e showa thaniw theam," thalia said with her mouth stuffed with pizza.
"Chew and swallow Thalia," Percy said.
The daughter of Zeus did such that and respoke, "I said, yeah, but they gave you your powers so I should thank them."
"Oh, then I'll just take the rest of this and you can ask the Gods for more," Percy said making way to the pizza.
"NO!" Thalia yelled out as she grabbed the pie, "please don't."
"Then who should you thank?" Percy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You, thank you Percy."
"Hehe, good sparky," Percy said with a smile, "well enjoy your meal, I'm off for some rest and relaxation."
Thalia groaned at Percy's retreating back and quickly sent a low powered zap of electricity pinching Percy's behind.
"Hey!" Percy yelle doubt turning around.
"Don't call me sparky!" Thalia yelled out as she grabbed the pizza with both hands and her jacket in her mouth, before running away like a madman.
Percy chuckled, 'she's kind of cute when she's angry.'
Percy shook his head and continued towards the beach and continued to grind away with his ID skills. He eventually reached the beach and went to his spot, which was sitting on top of a flat stone that served as a seat for Percy.
Percy was slowly slipping from one world to the next, but as he was doing that, he realised he had a lot of time in his hands. So he opened his inventory and took out the sword skill book he had gotten from the damned knight;
You have obtained the sword skill book!

There was a dilemma here for Percy. Here was two perfectly good sword techniques, each was good on it's on, but Percy had to chose. And since he was most likely going to face an army he needed some kind of crowd control skill.
So Percy choose Heavenly Ice Dragon;
Are you sure you want, 'Heavenly Ice Dragon'?
