A Double-Edged Sword

"Is it normal to break anything you use?" I ask myself as I stare at my hands. They don't look any different, but something feels off. I stand up off my bed to test this theory by grabbing a spare sword from under my bed. Swinging the sword through a book sitting on the table.
I look down and sure enough a few seconds later the imperial gold sword evaporates into a blue mist. My eyes follow the mist before it dissipates as if it had never existed. I walk over to my door and open it as the sunlight hits my skin the door handle disappears.
I start towards the big house to ask Chiron if his extensive knowledge has anything about this. Percy joins me as a I start up the stairs. A confused looks makes me think something similar has happened to him.
As we reach the door I ask Percy "Could you open the door for me. He looks at me but without question complies. Chiron stands as if waiting for us "So you've finally getting showed up. I was wondering when you'd turn up (author's note: lol turn up)?
