Sorry if the first few chapters are drabble, but this is one of my not completely planned stories so… meh. Hope you guys (and girls) like this, but I'm more interested in actually getting to the point/main idea. What do you guys think?- time skip to (what I think as) the good bit or drabble so we kinda get the gist of what's going on?

And disclaimer! I don't own Percy Jackson or the Hunger Games which this story may seem similar to.

"You wut?" Trust Louisa to break the silence.

"The gods declared it, Louisa. I'm merely the messenger."

"But that's Hermes' job." A weak ripple of laughter followed and eased the tension slightly. Even Clarisse's expression softened a fraction. When things fell silent, Louisa started to rant. "We're their kids, for gods' sake. Shouldn't we be… I dunno, sittin' on golden thrones and pokin' fun at the mortals?"

"Louisa." Chiron warned.

"Joke, Chiron, joke." Chiron raised his eyebrows. Louisa defiantly ignored the silent 'shut up' look he was giving her. "Sure it sounds like fun, but I ain't gonna stand by while ma friends get hunted by endless waves of monsters."

"She has a point." Percy voiced respectfully.

"It won't- Listen!" Chiron said sternly. The campers fell silent. "The gods see this as a test of skill for all of their children."

"Romans included?" Malcolm asked. Chiron nodded. A murmur of relief swept through them.

"Each cabin shall nominate two demigods- a boy and a girl. These nominees will fight for survival as long as they can in the recently constructed arena on Olympus."

"Sweet!" Louisa cheered, making a few laugh. Her cheery expression faltered though when something occurred to her. "What if someone dies?"

"You'll probably be eating popcorn and watching." Percy told her before Chiron could speak. Percy's tone was humorous, causing a large number of fellow demigods to laugh.

"Very true, bro." Louisa grinned half-heartedly before repeating her question, looking at Chiron.

"No-one will die. If the gods deem a demigod in true danger of death, the demigod will safely be transported to a medical centre."

"No popcorn for me then."

"There is a slight bonus, however. Each of you will be given rationed packs of nectar and ambrosia. Only use in emergency as you could be in the arena for a long time."

"So there's no set time?" Annabeth asked.

"No."

"I've changed my mind. I wanna fight."

"We have to, sis. It's only us in our cabin."

"Duh."

"You all have twenty-four hours to nominate the two demigods you all deem worthy. The games do not start for another month."

"Summer solstice." Annabeth said.

"Quite right. A month of training and studying."

"Why'd we need to study?" Clarisse grunted.

"There are some monsters you cannot fight." Chiron said grimly, all humour gone.

"Dun dun duh…" Louisa chimed darkly, a wicked gleam in her eyes.
