Percilla was now 4 almost 5, and she was with her mother. Going to an island where she could learn more about who she was, a place where no boys where allowed.

A place where her Auntie Diana grew up, a place that would allow her to learn the secrets of her necklace. So she was excited and nervous, but she was only 4.

"Ok, you remember to stay safe sweetheart." Mira told her daughter, as she hugged her. Percilla hugged her mother back, and then looked at her Aunt.

"Don't worry Mira, me and my sisters will take good care of her." Diana assures, and Mira sighed.

"I know you will, it's just that this is the first time she won't be with us for her birthday." Mira admitted, and Percilla hugged her mom.

"Don't worry momma, it's only for two months. I'll be ok, I have to do this." She Said, and Mira nodded.

"Ok, I love you my little sea star." Mira Said, as she kissed Percilla on the forehead then dove into the ocean.

"Come Percilla, this way." Diana Said, and Percilla took her hand. The two walked through the grass fields of the island till they reached a cliff, and Percilla gasped.

"It's beautiful, truly beautiful." Percilla Said, and Diana smiled. She knew Percilla would react that way, after all, Themescyra was beautiful.

"It is, now come. The main city is beyond the mountain." Diana Said, as she dove into the water. Percilla close behind her, and they swam to the main city.

Diana led Percilla up the stairs to the main city, and she was happy to see the little princess' eyes light up in wonder as she looked around.

"Percilla, we're gonna meet my mother. Be respectful, she is Queen of the Amazon's." Diana Said, and Percilla nodded. Then followed Diana into the throne room, and she saw her mother. Hippoleta, queen of the Amazons. When she got to the base of the throne, Percilla knelt.

"Rise child." The Queen Said, and So that's what she did.

"It's ok little one, we know why you're here. I also know who you are, Princess." She Said, and Percilla gasped.

"Wait, you're the queen. Queens know everything, well, at least that's what my mamma says." Percilla Said, and Diana smiles.

"Percilla, the next few months will be hard. The training is intense, and you will have to work hard." Diana Said, and the little princess looked up.

"I will do it, I will work harder than I have before." She Said, and Diana looked to her mother.

"Very well, your training starts now. What weapon do you wish to wield?" The Queen Asked her, and Percilla looked at the necklace around her neck.

"This one, mother told me I could learn of its history here, and how to use it." She Said, as she held up Her necklace. Diana, Hippoleta, both gasped.

"Child, where did you get that?" Asked the Queen, and Percilla looked at it.

"I do not know, it's been with me for my entire life." She Said, and then the queen knew what needed to be done.

"Very well, we shall first start by teaching you our history. Our legends, and our religion." The Queen Said, and then Alexis led Percilla to a garden. Where they would begin their lesson, on their history.

Time skip a month...

Percilla or Percy, as she now prefers to be called, has just finished learning everything about the Amazon's and the Greek world. Hearing the stories of Perseus Achilles Jackson were a bit weird, it was like she lived those events. Then Annabeth Chase, she loved the stories of her.

"Ok, Percy. Now we will teach you how to wield your weapon, and use any weapon us Amazon's know how to use." Antiope told her, and she nodded. Diana then handed her combat clothes, and she went to change into them.

She liked the outfit, it was simple. Just a plain white dress, white a brown leather cover on top. She got leather arm guards, and put her hair in a braid.

"Ok, now. To wield your weapon, you must feel the water that runs through its metal. Focus on it, and let it free." Antiope told her when she entered the fields to train, and so she did.

Percy closed her eyes and focused on the water inside the necklace, she felt it expand. Opening her eyes, she was in awe. Water seemed to cascade out from her hand, and into the shape of a trident. It solidified into a silver trident with wave decals on it, looking closer, she saw it had a name.

"It has a name, it's called Palírroias. Tidal." Percy Said, and Antiope smiled.

"Yes, this weapon was forged by Poseidon's own blood. His son, the cyclops."

"Tyson, General of the Cyclops army. Survivor of the sea of monsters, and his war cry was Peanut Butter." Percy Said, and Antiope let out a laugh.

"Yes, Peanut Butter. Now, it's said that once Tyson forged this trident. Prince Triton imbued some of his power in it, he also cursed it so only a true child of the sea could wells it. Poseidon then blessed it, so that it would never get lost. Then he used his powers to turn it into something, before it vanished from time." Antiope Said, and Percy was in awe.

"So, does this mean I'm worthy?" Percy Asked, and Antiope nodded.

"Yes child, you are worthy. But there is a difference in being worthy, and knowing how to use what you're worthy of." Antiope said, and the five year old Atlantean princess looked at her in confusion.

"I mean child, that the trident might seem you worthy to use it. But you need to know how to to make sure you don't abuse this great gift." She Said, and Percy went oh.

"Now, let us begin." Antiope Said, as she thrust her pole at the young girl. Percy blocked, and then Antiope smiled. Before she began the attack, starting Percy's combat training.
