i can’t stop thinking about percy and hazel as a duo...
like, just imagine. the possibilities. these are two of the most powerful demigods of their generation. one from the greek, one from the roman, both children of the big three, both far too kind to exploit their power.
but this power?? they both know how to wield it.
percy knows how to make any body of water to bend to his will. he controlled the river lethe at what?? 14, 15?? and the river styx not soon after that. he can summon the sea within him. he controlled the tiber, and soon after that the cocytus. after that, he finds out he can control any liquid. he can make earthquakes and storms happen with just a single thought. he can literally navigate through the sea AND the knowledge he obtains when he’s in a body of water... he can be lethal if he wants to.
hazel can bend earth and metal to her will. she can navigate through tunnels, the underground, i think that if given the chance she could navigate through the labyrinth quite easily. she is the only person arion follows. she uses a spatha in battle, and she is thirteen. she managed to take control over the mist easily, she can literally make you see things and lead you down to a tunnel to die.
now imagine them both working together. earth and water bending to their will, surrounding you, suffocating you. the seas stilling and going crazy at percy’s touch, the earth trembling and being molded by hazel’s. if they choose too, the water in your system?? it’s under percy’s control. the weapons you wield?? it isn’t your muscles making them move, it’s hazel’s powers.
they do not care for titles, but they know how to use the terms ‘saviour of olympus’, ‘prince of the seas’, ‘daughter of pluto’, ‘hecate’s favourite’ and ‘praetor’ wisely
and it’s literally canon that they work together flawlessly, like they’ve been training together for years. they have the loyalty of both camps, and are the some of the best leaders their generation has known.
the gods are lucky that percy’s flaw is loyalty, and that hazel has seen far too much cruelty for her to inflict it herself, because if not they’re in trouble
