(Ryan's POV)
The forest rushed past me as I blasted past trees, my feet carrying me across the forest ground, hunting the enemy's flag down as I rushed past boys with swords and armor who were surprised as I ran past them. I'm Ryan by the way, son of Hermes and a resident of Camp Half-Blood, been here for 9 years, and I turned 17 a few weeks ago. I wore tan shorts and a yellow t-shirt, I'm taller than most with tan skin with dirty blonde hair, I had little scars everywhere and I'm skinny, my blue eyes made my face, with my pointy nose, stick out. I continued to dash though the forest, heading to the creek where the flag is most likely to be, probably protected by my friend. We are currently playing capture the flag which me and all my friends take extremely seriously, but my friends are all on the other team, which could spell trouble for me as I run along the forest.
I looked around as I get close to where I guess the enemy team put the their teams flag, it was a beautiful fall day, sun leaked though the trees as the leaves fell, and creating beautiful colors all around, but then I noticed it was getting hot, and saw in front of me a massive fire grows. Heat surrounded me as I saw one of the few people able to take me in a fight, Julia, the daughter of Hephaestus with the powers to summon flames at will. I stopped in my tracks as walls of fire blocked me from moving forward, I moved into my fighting stance as Julia charged at me, sword ready. Her red hair glowed brightly against her pale white skin, she was average height and like me, had a pointy nose, and she was wearing jeans and a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt. As she got closer and slashed at me I quickly dodged to the side. I kicked her in her stomach stunning her and moving her back as I hold my foot, burning from just touching her.
"Getting better at using those legs of yours aren't you Speedy" Julia retorted. "What are you talking about Hothead, I have always been able to use legs of mine" I replied as Julia threw flames at me, which I blocked my sword. As you probably noticed, I'm really good with my legs, kicking people and all that, being all fast and speedy, but on the downside I'm decent with a sword but that doesn't matter, as I can easily beat any swordsman with my legs. After dodging and blocking fireballs I charged at Julia, catching her surprise, as she didn't expect to just charge at her. I slam my kneecap into her stomach, once again burning me, as she falls down gasping for air as I rush before anyone else can come and stop me.
The Creek was in sight as water rushed at me, knocking off my feet and sending me launching me backward and I see the attacker, standing on the water with his sword out, my best friend Kyle, son of Poseidon, controller of water. He wears jeans and a blue T-shirt with a blue jacket on him, he has a deep tan and is tall, although not as tall as me, and he has black hair and a flat nose. I quickly get back up, and almost get blasted in the face by water again, Kyle is just standing on the creek, being able to stand on water. He takes out his blue sword, he calls it Ocean Cutter and continues to send blasts of water as he charges at me.
He summons a wave to push him forward at me even faster, I barely get my sword ready as his wave slams into me, sending me even farther from the flag. I quickly get up as Kyle slashes his sword at me, I can barely keep up with his swordplay. I try moving around, hoping to get around Kyle to the flag, but everywhere I move there is either Kyle or a wave of water, stopping me in my tracks. Kyle keeps sending blasts of water as we duel with our swords, me barely keeping up since I have to both not get cut with Kyle's sword and dodging water blasts. I get hit in the face by a water blast, blinding me as Kyle slashes my arm.
"Can you stop trying to stab me with that!" I yell at Kyle as the sword cuts my arm. "You know all well that I take capture the flag very seriously" He says as he concentrates on keeping me from getting to the flag. I dash back, moving back so I can use my power for once, I move a safe distance away and get into a dashing stance. The blood in my veins starts rushing though my body as my heart rate goes through the roof as Kyle panics and starts getting a wave ready to stop me. My skin becomes pinkish and some steam leaves my pores as heat consumes my insides, as Kyle launches a massive wave of water at me.
As the wave is about to hit, I move at insane speeds, almost teleporting, out of the way and move forward. I appear next to Kyle who turns at me with wide eyes as I slam my kneecap into his stomach, sending him flying backward. I take his flag as I hear the crunching of leaves, startling me as Julia's backup appears. I dash past them running as the ground around me is a blur, as you can see, I'm sort of special for a son of Hermes because most of his sons get his prankster side but I got his speedy side, which gives me a special power that most don't get.
I have the power to speed myself up for 10 minutes increasing my heart rate and sends burning hot blood throughout my body, increasing my blood pressure and allowing me to almost teleport, well it looks I'm running really fast to me, but everyone says I teleport. The only drawback to this power is that when 10 minutes is up, my heart rate instantly goes back to normal speeds, making unconscious as my body gets used to my regular heart rate again, me being pasted out lasts about 10 to 30 minutes. As I teleport into my territory, I notice that I'm in the front of my flag where a battle between both teams is happening. People stop fighting and notice me standing there with the red team's flag and my team starts cheering for me, I start smiling until my heart rate returns to normal and darkness surrounds me.
