Percy Jackson: the Winter Gamer

Chapter 20: Bob the skeleton



In the end, a Hermes kid managed to outmanoeuvre Wulfgang, who had made it all the way to the finale. The kid was 15 years old and a talented swordsman, Hiroshi was his name, an Asian kid with a swimmers build and an insane amount of speed. His strikes were even faster than Luke's had been, though they weren't as skilful, he still managed to beat every one of his opponents with a combination of skill and speed. Wulfgang, he had to outlast but after a minute of deft dodging, the strength boost was gone and he could annihilate him. 

Alexander walked up to Wulfgang and patted him on the back, "your strength is impressive, though you have little to no training. Want me to teach you a thing or two? With some proper skill, you would be unstoppable!"

"Y- yeah, I'd like that", despite his new jacked body, he was still a nerd at heart, not confident in himself. He had only been strong for an hour or two, confidence needed to be build over a longer period of time.

The others went off to the dining hall but Wulfgang and Alexander stayed behind(with permission from the twins) and Alexander threw a sword at Wulfgang, which he clumsily caught.

"Get in stance", Alexander ordered and what he got was… just embarrassing, he wouldn't survive a minute without his strength boost, heck even 10 seconds would be stretching it, "no, no, no. Your stance is way to narrow, one good blow will plant you on your ass. You need a wider stance to better transfer the impact, like this"

He had to spend the next five minutes getting Wulfgang into a good stance. When it was finally satisfactory, he said, "okay, wait like that, I'll summon you a sparring partner"

"Summon? You aren't gonna fight me yourself?"

"No, Herakles was known to loose his temper when he was frustrated and i don't want to be on the receiving end of one of your blows again"

"I'm not my father! I can control my-"

"Better safe than sorry, now be quiet, I have to concentrate", he pulled out a pancake and a can of Diet Coke, throwing them on the ground, thinking, 'I need a sparring partner for a complete beginner'

A skeleton crawled out of the earth and devoured the pancake and diet soda. It wore an orange camp half blood shirt and had two twin blades in its hands. Wulfgang yelped, "w- what is that? H- how did you summon it? Wasn't your father the god of w- winter, not- not this?"

"I have many talents", he smirked, "now… I'll call you Bob, Bob, help our friend here get the basics of swordsmanship in. He is a bloody beginner, so go easy on him"

The skeleton and Wulfgang sparred for the next hour, Alexander giving tips from the sidelines. He was a quick learner, "observe"

He was still a bloody beginner but at least he didn't drop his sword every other minute. Alexander dismissed Bob and they walked over to the Archery range, where the Hermes cabin was being taught by the Apollo cabin counselor. Normally Chiron would be teaching Archery but he was busy trying to cure Thalia's tree. Alexander could see him working from the Archery range. He shook his head. If anyone could save the tree, it would be Chiron. Archery was fine, nothing to write home about but it seemed as though Wulfgang hadn't inherited his dad's proficiency with the bow. He didn't hit a single target. After Archery, they walked to the dining pavilion for dinner.

"So, what is your mother like?" Asked Alexander.

"Don't have one" Wulfgang said.

"Oh- I'm so sorry… if you don't mind me asking, how did she die?", he felt sympathy for him, a dead mother and a god that.

"She didn't… I don't have a mother I have a dad. My father is a trans guy", Wulfgang explained.

"Oh, that's cool", Alexander nodded. The ancient Greeks were notorious for being a little fruity, somit made sense that Herakles would like guys too. Most male gods had both male and female lovers. Just look at the Spartans.

And it seems that Wulfgang had inherited that Greek fruitiness, seeing as he was gay.

Alexander himself liked girls, though he hadn't had much luck in the romance department. He was a troublemaker, no one that a girl would be proud meeting their parents. The nymphs were notorious flirts an might take his virginity if he asked but he didn't want his first time to be like that. That's the exact same reason as to why he didn't get with an Aphrodite camper( they were notoriously horny). In truth, he probably wasn't quite only straight either, more like Demi sexual straight. He needs a platonic connection before he felt any sexual attraction. Which was why he wouldn't fuck one of the nymphs. Wulfgang was busy telling everyone about the skeleton Alexander summoned. The Stoll's were very excited about that, "bro, you keep getting powers, it's like you are collecting them like pokemon… you gotta show us tomorrow after breakfast"

"Sure can do", he nodded, turning back to his food. Today's special was a big steak with roast potatoes and a salad. It was -as always- delicious and just melted in his mouth. When they were done eating, they walked back to the cabin, quickly falling asleep, all except Alexander, who was busy scrolling through the list of skills. There were so many of them and he wanted them all… well not all, Sleepiness inducement for example wasn't something he really needed. Even the Hypnos kids, with high ranking sleepiness inducement couldn't put someone to sleep any sooner than an hour
