(A/N : I'm horrible at describing fight scenes so please bare with the horribleness)
Enderdura and Nivis walked down the steps to the forge and found a door under it which they deemed as their cabin. Wanting to be as close to their dad as they could. Above the door the flew a tapestry with an impossible triangle and a hammer running vertically through it. Inside all the walls were stone and a small pedestal laid with a dial listing different rooms. On the ceiling were bronze pipes spouting steam every so often. In the drafting room Enderdura was leaning on a table over blueprints. Four animatronic designs littered the paper with notes and measurements. Taking the smallest design she rolled it up and left the room. Turning the dial to the storage setting she walked in and picked up a small crystal that glowed and went outside. Walking up the steps to the forge she placed the blueprints out on a table and started studying the crystal. Not hearing the sound of shoes running up the steps Enderdura was jolted back to reality when a body was shoved into her's making her drop the crystal. Once it hit the stone table it shattered as a slightly lispy male voice yelled into her ear.
"Hey new girl!'
Shocked Enderdura looked from the shattered remains of the crystal to a boy with white curly hair the had a gold tone to it. Looking back and forth from the crystal shards to the boy several times a dark aura clouded around her. Speaking in a slow and dangerous tone directed at the boy.
"Step back."
"Why?"
Taking a deep breath to try and calm her nerves and not lash out at the boy by using the lava in the forge to burn him to ash. She spoke again but with more firmness and authority.
"Take a step back."
The boy took a half step back as Enderdura held her head as she turned towards the boy.
"Do you care to know what you just made me break?"
"No."
The forge exploded as Enderdura gave a murderous glare shadows covering her eyes as the lava fell back into the forge. She grabbed the boy's shirt and threw him to the ground.
"You just made me break one of the most important pieces for my project! And now I need to go and fill another crystal and that's going to take forever."
"Why?"
"Because what I need to fill it with is an animal soul. And before you go and tell me to just go and kill an animal I'm going to tell you I won't do that unless it's trying to kill me and the people I care about."
"I'll help you get one."
"No. I don't need your help you've helped enough. Now excuse me."
Enderdura started walking off to go and get one of her other projects that was for her armor that she was making. But the boy started talking under his breath thinking Enderdura wouldn't hear him. But living with her dad and always working with a forge and metal she developed a keen sense of hearing being able to hear metal cracking when it wasn't properly tempered with headphones blasting rock music and her family screaming around her.
"Man someone took an extra helping of 'angry over nothing' today at breakfast."
Enderdura stopped just as her foot hit the first step on the way down she turned her head looking at the boy over her shoulder. Her eye was narrowed. Turning on her heel she walked up to the boy and tapped his shoulder. He turned and started at her.
"Actually I could use your help testing some armor I've been working on. Meet me in the arena in fifteen minutes and bring your best armor and weapon."
With the statement she left and went down to the door to her cabin. Inside she turned the dial to her room setting and the gate with a lever on the wall opened up. Once inside the gate closed and she pulled the lever. The platform moved by the bronze gears running down bronze grooves like a large round elevator but with no windows. Once at her room the gate doors opened. Her room was as large as a medium sized one story house. It had a table, bookshelves with her favorite books, posters of her favorite anime, music, movies, a desk with a new desktop computer with an old fashion typewriters keyboard. Her bed was in the shape of a circle and hung from the ceiling with cherry wood dressers around it and shelves holding her clothing. And in the corner was a mini blacksmith area holding a mannequin that she used to torment her brother. But on it right now was bracelets, a choker(pretend the jewel is an Eye of Ender), a belt holding her box, boots, and a crown with glowing blue crystals. Taking the armor off and putting it on. She then went to the weapon rack holding a bow, spear, long sword, dagger, and claws. Putting the claws on her fingers, the dagger on her hip and the spear and long sword on her back. Leaving her room she walked the grounds. The dirt under her feet seemed to burn and leave smoldering boot prints. Now standing on the sand in the arena she faced her opponent. He was wearing the armor used the most and was holding a golden crossbow with a satchel of golden bolts that radiated heat. Huffing Enderdura touched her bracelets. At the touch the thickened and started crawling up her forearm stopping at her shoulder. Now they were gauntlets that were made of black metal with silver accents. Clicking her boots together they covered themselves with the same metal armor and going up her legs, over her hips, and stopped at the belt. The belt then thickened and covered waist. Lightly touching her choker it extended down covering her chest to her stomach and stopping once it connected with the legs. Lastly she touched her crown. The gems flashed and glowed as the crown expanded into a crown with a pair of black and silver wings and was now littered with sparkly red jewels.(what the armor looks like just cover the skin on the stomach and outer thighs and also no helmet{Enderdura's Armor}) With all the armor now on Enderdura's hair covering her right eye was held out of the way by her crown. With the empty socket now shown for all to see everyone gasped and cast glares at the white haired boy.
"What?! I swear I didn't do that to her."
"Enough chit chat. Let's get this over with."
One of the spectators came down from the stands and was standing in the middle of the two opponents. He moved around and started a little speech about the opponents.
"Here we have one of the campers that's been with us for four years and son of the Apollo. Alexander Steed. And over here we have the oldest of the two newest campers and daughter of the mighty Hephaestus. Enderdura WolfQueen. Now let the battle begin. I'm also taking bets on who will win."
The boy fled the ground and the battle began. Alexander loaded a bolt and aimed for Enderdura. She just stood her ground and waited for the mechanism to fire. When it did the bolt flew through the air. When it reached a certain point Enderdura stomped her right foot on the ground where after a bout of rumbling a large piece of the ground catching the bolt mid-flight. Touching her thumb to the point of the bolt she tsked her tongue.
"Dull tip this could barely pierce a rope. Shameful craftsmanship and shoddy make."
Alexander growled and started loading his crossbow again when Enderdura started sprinting towards his person. He barely deflected her dagger with the crossbow pushing her back. Her feet dug into the dirt and she shook her head with a glare at Alexander. Putting the dagger away and taking out her long sword she started attacking in rapid succession. Alexander didn't get any time to reload with this Enderdura started talking again.
"This is shameful. An archer with nothing but his crossbow/bow and bolts. Everyone needs to at least carry a close quarters combat weapon on their person at all times."
Being pushed back Enderdura looked up panting from swinging her sword at the boy. She smirked and started speaking again.
"Here's a tip or more of a little rule for you to always to follow. At twenty-one feet my blade can reach you faster then you could load and shoot. Besides a crossbow or bow becomes mostly useless without its drawstring."
At the last word Enderdura swung her sword and cut the drawstring of the crossbow. Smirking she back flipped with her sword in hand and landed feet away. Alexander looked to his crossbow and fumed. Enderdura sighed as she panted putting her sword back on her back. As she was about to walk out of the arena a rock hit her in the back of the head. Stopping and turning around she saw Alexander glaring at her. Grinding her teeth she pulled her box out of its holder on her hip. Lifting it she started pushing and spinning the pieces. Once done she pulled the key from around her neck and opened it. Reaching her hand inside she pulled out three red pearls and threw them at Alexander. When they crashed onto the ground and broke, fire erupted in front of Alexander and Enderdura was slashing at him with her claws. Surprised he stepped back and started using the stringless crossbow. When one of the claws actually broke skin he hissed and looked at his now bleeding arm. He then rose his voice in anger.
"That's not fair. Your armor can't be used as a weapon!"
"What makes you think any of our enemies are gonna play fair. You're luck these aren't poisoned."
Just as the fight was getting more violent the sound of a crack filled the air. Everyone turned and there stood a girl with flaming red hair in a pixie cut holding a whip stood at the top of the stadium. Alexander got off of Enderdura quickly. Enderdura just huffed and got up groaning as her body was bruised from all the abuse it took during the fight. Her armor reverted back to how it was before the fight occurred. Her hair was covering her eye again. Looking at the newcomer panting. The girl jumped down and was now standing in front of the two.
"Will someone explain to me what's been going on around here?"
The crowd was silent and Alexander was standing stock still. No one moved nor breathed not wanting to face the music and tell the girl holding the whip.
