Most of the demigods went to the beach just on the border of camp to celebrate. The water glistened on the shore on Long Island while a beautiful dock made of dark wood stood alone in solitude. Percy walked onto the dock while Annabeth sat on the sand to watch the sunset. Will grabbed his younger cousin's hand and led her to the sturdy dock, Nico sat next to Annabeth and they started a conversation about something that wasn’t distinguishable from the distance.

Will, Percy and Atia stood on the old dock, Percy took a running leap into the water while Will only gave a small jump. Atia sat on the edge of the dock to observe Percy as the strong swimmer and Will milling about while humming a happy tune. Percy climbed back onto the dock, most likely only to jump back in, but noticed Atia still sitting there with her feet lowered into the water.

“Why aren’t you swimming?” Percy asked.
177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYxIDIEuGF
“I don’t know how.” She replied.

“I only learnt a couple years ago.” Will said, pulling himself up onto the dock.

“Well, there’s no time like the present.” Percy stood up.

“Wha-“ her question was cut short by her vocal cords letting out a screech as Percy threw her into the water.

The cold water crashed over her head and the salt stung her eyes. Kicking her legs and paddling her arms in a way that was most likely frowned upon in the competitive side of the sport, but all Atia cared about in the moment was getting back to the surface. After what seemed like a lifetime Atias head broke to the surface to see a concerned Will on the dock. When Percy spotted her. He broke out in a grin, tapped Will's shoulder and pointed.

The waves still crashed against Atias head but with everyone she learnt how to keep herself afloat just a little bit more. Percy swam out to her, with Will behind him, and as soon as he got within two meters he stopped and closed his eyes, if he hadn’t stopped it would have looked like a blink but as soon as he opened his eyes a ten by ten meter square of water around them calmed.

Percy spent the next ten minutes trying to teach Atia how to doggy paddle while Annabeth looked on from the beach and let out the occasional laugh at Atias antics. After she had gotten it, Percy let the square of calm become increasingly more difficult until it was the same as the rest of the sea.

“Will look!” Atia squealed as a wave toppled over her head.

After all three of them got out of the water (After many threats and bribes from Annabeth) Nico handed each of them a towel. A green hue stood out in the darkness, serounding Atia.

“The hell?” She said while trying to get a good look at the thing above her head while simultaneously attempting to swat at it.

A gasp rippled through the demigods on the beach. Chiron came through the trees to gather the demigods to their cabins but was met with a green light and a glowing trident above Atias head.

“What are you all…….uhh…..ATIA! CHILD OF POSEIDON!” He recovered from his shock and with most of the other demigods bowed down.
Before Chiron could finish his speech a golden crown lowered onto her head, it was made from pure gold in a spiky design with orange gems to complement her necklace. Her head moved in a way that sent the crown off at an odd angle only to see the trident nudge it over until it was perfect.
Atias necklace began to glow while the crown followed. Atia stood in a daze as Percy came up to her, stopping a few meters away to stare at the trident.
Will and Atia looked at each other. Then proceeded to break out in a fit of laughter. Questions where asked and when the two cousins recovered enough to speak Atia explained.
”It’s ironic isn’t it?” She giggled. She turned to the crowd and trying to hold back her laughter she said: “My full name is Atlantis Ocean Solace.”
The others seemed to catch on simultaneously, soon the beach was a mess of laughter and smiles.
”We better get back to our cabins before the chicken lady things arrive.” Atia said.
