A/N: Couldn't upload from my Dads, but you get more content today.
The time before lunch was free. Mark was in the infirmary, and I couldn't find my friend who had yet to be claimed, Sam, so I decied to go
for a walk in the forest. I walked along aimlessly, thinking up battle plans agaisnt Hellhounds who might be in the forest as I walked along.
Eventually I came to a small pond full of fish, and I sat on a rock nearby, staring into the water, daydreaming. I did that alot.
Daydreaming, not sitting on rocks or staring at water. Anyway, I was so absorbed in my daydream I dind't hear someone comming up
behind me until they were withing arm's reach. I turned to face them. She were fairly tall, lightly tanned and had golden hair. Amber.
"Um... Hi." I said.
"Hey." she greeted.
There was a short silence.
"World's longest conversation." I joked.
"Heh." she smiled.
"So..." I started.
"You want a rematch from earlier? Because you had a knee wound then." she asked.
"Yeah, sure." I answered.
I drew my Sword, which I had with me as a precaution, and she got her knife out from her belt, twirling it around. I swung first, going for
her foot, but she jumped forward and knocked me to the ground, tumbling past me and spinning round. She stabed but I rolled to the side
and got to my feet in time to block her next strike.
The duel went on with us circling around each other then unleashing flurries of blows. I quickly made a plan, and took the defensive as she
attacked. I let her knock my sword away, then I disarmed her and drove her back towards a tree. The knife wasn't like mine, but I
managed to use it mostly well. She had her back to the tree, so I pinned her there and held the knife's blade to her throat, victorious.
"I wi-" I started.
Then she shoved me back and I dropped her knife. She scooped it up and I grabbed a branch, then defend with it, catching her knife in it
an tossing it aside. We we both now unarmed. An Owl screeched and soared towards her, claws glinting, but a beam of sunlight blew it
into the ground. Another beam nearly hit me, so I ran into a deeper part of the forest. She had the sense to get her knife before following
me deeper into the trees.
She fell right into my trap and I dodged her accurate knife swings a few times before an Owl dropped my Sword into my hand. I quickly
sliced across her cheek, trying not to hurt her too badly, and kicked her to the floor, which was blanketed in dead leaves. She dropped her
knife as she fell, and I snatched it from the air. I held the tip of my sword to her throat, and she surrendered. I got out my vial of Nectar
and passed it to her, then handed her the knife.
"You're faster without the knee wound." she said.
"Nah, just more tactical in the woods than a plain circle of sand." I explained.
"Right." she said.
I took a step to the right.
She facepalmed.
"What?" I asked.
Then I realized, and I facepalmed.
Remember to review, and be as harsh as possible. Please.
