Also spinach contains a lot of potassium.
Can we do this?
The Apollo cabin watched Percy walk away as they began to wonder what the hell they had got themselves into. Will turned back to face the cabin his brain working at 100 miles an hour trying to figure out a way to avoid the year worth of chores. The memories of last time they had had to chores for the Hermes cabin still plagued the minds of the campers.
After a very high stakes capture the flag game they had done the chores for a day. During that day the Hermes cabin had flexed their trickster muscles. Poor Simon still woke up screaming about the mess he had to clean up from the bathroom. He quivered slightly as that was only one day of chores. If they ended up with a whole year... No they could not they would have to teach Percy how to hit a target. Their lives literally depended on it.
"Okay we all know what is at stake here. We can't lose this bet. We all know what happened last time we had to do chores for the Hermes cabin so we know we can't lose this no matter what." At this he heard a small sob from one of the campers looking over it was Simon curled up in a ball rocking back and forth.
"First of all we need to make sure the range is clear of people. Who knows how bad he is now. Kayla see what you can do with the Hephaestus cabin. Something tells me will will need their help to contain Jackson. Austin do you think you could give her a hand. Offer what ever you need to. I don't think any of us want to be turned into a pin cushion"
looking at the rest of the cabin he paused wondering what else they could do. Short of praying he could not think of much.
"Austin as the second best archer we have, you will be helping me teach Percy we will take it in shifts to try and drill it into him as fast as we can, I'm not sure what else we can do. Percy played us all very well".
"That is true", said Austin, "It was a trick worthy of Hermes with the planning of Athena. We really messed up this time. It would help if the rest of us went off the the other cabins, maybe they have something that can help or have a good idea. Monday is only two days away we will need a divine miracle to pull this off."
At this Anna, one of the new campers perked up. " maybe a divine miracle is just what we could use" She stated. "Ryan do you still have those photos of when our dad lost that bet with Aphrodite and had to dress in drag for an entire day?" She asked.
"I do, replied the son of Apollo, but if dad found out it was me I would not hear the end of it and I'm not sure I can even be that cruel to him"
"Ryan", stated Will, "it is that or we have to do a year worth or chores"
"Would you like the photos in A4 or A3 format", countered Ryan a second later.
"Just get them done. We will only use it as a last resort though", finished Will," Okay troops we all know what we have to do, we need to all meet up on Sunday evening to finalise the plan. Now move we are wasting time"
Will saw his brothers and sisters spring into action and shuddered again at the time they had left to do this. He wondered if the gods would be terrible upset if he prayed to Kronos for more time. It may just be worth it.
As he ran off to the armoury to pick out and reserve the best bow and arrows he could find to give him more of an edge he spoke a word that was also being uttered with by the other 11 Apolloites at the same time as they thought about their situation:
"Bollocks"
