@punkp3rcyjacks0n I’m now wondering if giving Percy a khukri instead of the chosen axe/hammer combo would have been a better choice.
For one thing, it’s a machete so closer to the canon sword while still maintaining a unique shape and style from canon
It’s also a signature weapon of the Gurkha, a fascinating and frankly cool group of warriors from Nepal who have a rich military history.
Since Dionysus has such a deep connection to India that gives my white ass the excuse to connect a weapon developed a full millennium after the height of Hellenic worship to the god.
Frankly, it’s cool as hell and it’s a chopping weapon and if I keep writing this fic for long enough I might have to put one in the hands of my Percy.
