So new and yet so old |Piper|

For a few minutes Alex worked on the sword he was making. True, eh may opened a some drawers and pulled out the right tools and material. Btu they appear out of nowhere, in truth. When he had be growing up with his grandfather he didn't understand of how he was able to make things so easy, even more easily than his grandfather. Of who had a life time of learning the different skins of metal work, metals, and different arts. His grandfather didn't fully get, but he said it comes naturally int he family. Of which Alex is not going to deny though. than Alex heard someone spoke. He stopped hammering and looked to the door and say a girl. "Celestial Bronze does destroy monsters. Hephaestus kids like me can make it appear out of thin air."

"I am Alexander. You can call me Alex though. I prefer Alex. I am currently making a sword right now. You can watch if you want to." Alex turned the sword over his hand. As he did so, he used his power to make fire higher so that the metal could be more soft. He started hammering on the otehr side fo the sword.

Alex smiled when Piper comment on his powers. Alex was still new at knowing and realize he was using his powers. Thought his whole life, he had be using it without realizing it. He just thought it was just part of a gif ton his mother's side. that was some of it, for he learn to do different things that his father knows how to do. But it was his powers that helped make the things he made before he had entered the camp. "I think they are. I had used them all my life, but I had no idea that I was using my powers till a few days ago when I had come here to camp."

"Just from the short amount of time I had be here, Most half bloods don't realize they are using their powers till they get here. It had explain why I had be able to match my grandfather’s craftsman ship in the things he can do, like with the metal work, and the art stuff." Alex turned the sword over again and started hammered the that side.

"Yeah. I notice that throughout my life. So did my grandfather. My grandfather never really understand of how Amazing I was at so many things, like sculpting or stonework. the one that really amazed him was my metalwork. When I was about 8, I could match my grandfather's level of metalwork he was doing at that time. Something a eight year shouldn't be able to do." Alex remembered that day so well, It surprise his grandfather so much.

"Funny thing about our powers is the different times they really starts to show up." Alex had turned the sword over once more as they were talking. It was than that he lowered the fire. When he lowered the fire, he went over to the barrel and put the sword into the water and pulled it out a minute later, by doing so he had finished the sword.
