Hey guys thanks for all those reviews! I love all of the characters that you guys have me. As promised shout out to RustLegion428 for being my first reviewer. Don't worry about not knowing what an archetype was, I had to look it up when I first saw it. It basically means their overall personality summed up into a word or phrase. Have a blue cookies (::) To everyone else who reviewed, thank you so much guys. Have a cookie too (::) Please keep reviewing and tell me what you think about how I am developing your character. I don't want to get anything wrong. Otherwise have fun reading this!

Elisabeth POV
"This was going to be epic," I thought "We have the best team in the history of capture the flag teams. Sure we might not have the largest team but with the combination of the Hermes, hecate, hephaestus, hades/erebus, iris, and nemesis cabins and the best strategists in camp from my cabin, we had a winning team."
Currently I was waiting with my portion of the team, to scout out the flag and, hopefully, steal it out from under their noses. We had the best from every cabin, Carl from nemesis, twyla from Hades, Nolan from erebus, Betty- Ann from hecate, Brian from iris, and junior from hephaestus. No one from Hermes was coming on this mission because they were all guarding the flag, along with a few from hecate. Everyone else was in the large frontal attack to draw away the guards on the flag.
Suddenly the conch sounded, tearing me from my thought.
"Alright guys let's go"I said "you remember the plan. Betty- Ann do you have the mist covering us yet?"
"Yup, now no one from their team should be able to see us," she replied.
"Twyla, Nolan can you sense any living souls from the other team in our path?"
"None so far but the left flank of their team is straying a bit far from the main group and if they go much further then we might run into them." Twyla said after a moment of thinking.
"Ok that means that we are clear to begin remember that this is a stealth mission, so no unnecessary combat, but still be on gaurd."
Slowly we made our way around all of the fighting and got behind their flag. I didn't like what I was seeing. There were too many guards for my taste.
"Ok guys you know what you have to do, get ready for any attacks but hurry. Betty- Ann, will you be able to keep the mist around me if I grab the flag?" I whisper.
"Maybe. But be careful. There will be a few seconds after you grab the flag where they will be able to see that the flag is gone. You need to be back here before those seconds are up or else they will be able to see you too."
"Alright so I'll just have to hurry and hope that they don't notice the disappearing flag."
QuicklyI sneaked I sneaked between the guards and got to the flag. I grabbed it and turned to sprint away as fast as I could.
Then I heard a yell "The flag's gone!"
"Shit they saw it" I thought as I ran as fast as possible for the bushes, where I knew my team was hiding. I crashed through the bushes and saw myself running straight towards our side of the woods with the flag. I knew that Betty- Ann was working her magic.
"Ok guys no more risks, we have to get back to our side as fast as possible but we can't alert anyone that we got the flag. That means run for the border and disarm anyone who tries to stop us. Ready. Set. Go!" I whisper.
We ran as fast as we could and thankfully didn't run into many people on our way. When we were a few yards away from the bordeI saw a flash of blue. Without thinking I threw a knife from my belt and dove across the border to our side. The conch was blown and I looked at what I had thrown my knife at. Instantly I burst out laughing, three feet away from her own side, rain was struggling to free my knife, which had gone straight throw the pole of the flag and nailed it to a tree.
"Here,"I said " let me help you with that."
Accustomed to pulling my knifes out of hard objects, I pulled it out and slipped it back into my belt.
"Show off," she muttered
"Not at all! To bad about your loss, you might have actually won if you hadn't forgotten about my knifes. It was an easy game though, I didn't even have to bring out Sophia or Luna." I smirk, Rain had bragged about her near wins, in such the way I was right now, more times than I could count. It's only fair that I repay the favor.
"Oh be quiet Elisabeth, no one wants to hear your bragging. No one cares that you won. And we both know that I'm winning next time." She shot back.
"Maybe if you manage an alliance with us, though I doubt it. Too proud to alliance with the lowly children of cabin six aren't you?"
"Elisabeth stop arguing with Rain and come join the celebration!" Betty- Ann called out.
"Fine, fine,I needed to talk with the Hermes cabin any way. Have you gotten a chance to learn how Rain got the flag through the crowd of your siblings, the Hermes kids and all of your magic traps?"
"No but I heard some muttering about an 'attack from above' and 'stupid flying Apollo kids' sounds to me like somebody managed teach the Apollo kids to fly or~"
"Or Rain is up to her tricks again and managed to fly her entire frontal assault into the midst of our defenders and steal the flag for herself. Now I understand, thanks so much, if any needs me then I'll be in the training yard."
"But that's where you went last time after the game!"
"Your point being?"
"Last time we lost. This time we won so you have to come celebrate with us!"
"You aren't going to stop bothering me if I say no, are you?"
"Of course not. You can't train all the time."
"Fine I'll celebrate with you."
I ended up spending the rest of the night partying with Betty-Ann and the rest of our group. We knew each other pretty well because we worked together during capture the flag a lot. The only one missing from the group was Nolan, who Twyla said was sleeping. The party was slowing down when a shadow near us opened up and Nolan fell out. This was bad, he would only shadow travel the distance between his cabin and the pavilion if it was an emergency.
"Sh- she's risen!" Nolan gasped as though the words were taking all of his strength away.
"Who has risen, Nolan?" Twyla sounded concerned.
"G- G- Grandmother."
"But Gaia is dead, Leo scattered her essence too thin!" Twyla gasped.
"N- Not your grandmother. My grandmother."
You can't mean her!" Betty- Ann sounded so shocked, who had risen?
"Yes Betty- Ann, I mean her. Father showed me in my dream."
"Who has risen!" I shouted, not knowing was getting on my nerves.
"The first mother. The first primordial."
"Wait. It can't be her! She has slept for a millennia!" I couldn't believe it. I refused to believe it.
"Yes it can be her. My father wouldn't lie."
"Who is it! Just tell us already!" Carl sounded aggravated.
"It's Chaos. Chaos has risen, and she is angry tthat her eldest two children are dead." He said it with such a certainty that all of us believes it. But if he was correct, that meant that something bad was going to happen. Something very bad.
Did you guys enjoy this? I definitely had fun writing it, even if it took me a while.
This chapter was just me introducing our characters, no background yet. This story will not be all in Elisabeth's point of view I just wanted to do her first because 1) I understand what drives her best and 2) because I felt like it. Vote on who you want me to write in the point of view in next time! It will be any of the OCs, leo, chaos (It will be a lot shorter if it is chaos), or if you guys want, a mixture of any of these!
Please review, they give me a reason to focus on writing, which my sister is making very hard. If I don't update fast enough for you, review and tell her to be quiet and let me write. I have no idea what my writing schedule will be like but I will probably update about every two weeks, or maybe earlier if I feel especially motivated.
Oh yeah JaneWrites I'm sorry about giving Betty-Ann mist magic but you said she had all magic and I needed somebody with mist magic to help with our stealth mission. Otherwise the game would have gone to Rain. And that wouldn't have been very nice.
For those of you who don't know Rain is my sister's OC who I wasn't planning on adding but then decided, what the neck and threw her in so that I could beat her. To find Rains description check my profile at the very bottom, I have descriptions of Rain and Elisabeth.
If you have any problems with mydevelopment please review or pm me! I'm serious! Also remember, if you have any ideas tell me. I can't stress this enough. I get writers block. A lot. Therefore helping me form ideas will help me update faster.
Wow that was a long AN. See you all next time.
