The Contradictions

Joey's POV

I was watching my siblings beat up another small defenseless demigod. Just another regular day as a son of Ares.

My sibling Matt said" hey dude come on were going to the arena to practice". I got up followed him and thought' oh great I get to embarrass myself again.'

We all walked to the arena and Josh are cabin leader said" ok we are going to have a little tournament and the first two up are … Joey and Eric." I gulped; Eric was one of the best fighters in the cabin. I drew my sword and Eric took out his axe.

Eric made the first move and swung at my chest. I barely blocked the swing and tried to stab him in the leg. He punched me in the jaw and I fell to the ground. My whole cabin exploded in laughter and one kid said laughing" that was the quickest fight I ever saw". Eric looked down on me and said" you have to be the worst son of Ares ever."Eric walked away laughing. I ran out of the arena toward the lake.

Jacob's POV

I was in my cabin with my siblings when a Hephaestus kid stormed in and yelled" where are my cabins tools" while holding up a child's toy hammer. One of my brothers said" how do you know it was us". The Hephaestus kid said" I know how to get the truth from you". I gulped, I knew what was coming.

The kid looked me dead in the eyes and asked" Did they take our tools". I looked at him and started sweating and my eyes started twitching and I said "n-no." The kid smiled and said" you lie". I put my head down in defeat. My siblings moaned and said" why can't you just lie good like a regular son of Hermes". They handed over the tools to the kid and he walked out. I ran out of the cabin to the lake before I could get yelled at.

Emily's POV

I was in the forges trying to make a sword when my brother Jim came in with our tools. I took my tools and continued working. When I was done the sword was squiggly as a S. I heard one of my siblings laugh and I said" shut up". I was one of the best fighters in the cabin but I couldn't make a sword to save my life. I was walking around and I tripped over a shield and fell and knocked about twenty swords to the ground. I tried to pick them up when Jim walked up. He tried to be nice but it still hurt when he said" please leave before you break anything else".
