Chapter 4

Capture the flag

In my dream I was looking at a girl sitting at the beach at sunset, she was wearing a very beautiful blue chiton as I watched I noticed that she was crying.
I walked up behind her and covered up her eyes, her hands were feeling mine trying to work out who it was.

"Kralus?"

"How do you always know Sarah?"

"I can't explain it every time you are near me my heart knows it and I forget everything."

"So why were you crying I asked putting my arm around her."

"I wasn't crying" she said hastily wiping her eyes with her hands but it still didn't cover it up her eyes were still red and puffy like she had been crying for a long time.

Then the scenery changed I was in a room in a house somewhere looking around I seemed to recognise the place, I went over to the window to get a view of the rising sun as I opened the windows I heard a voice outside the room.

"No please go away it pleaded what did I ever do to you?"

"You haven't done anything so far but as long as you are going around with him I know you will, you see he is currently taking over me and I don't like that."

The other person sounded very menacing, I ran towards the door but it wouldn't open I could hear them going further into the house but I couldn't get out of this room.
I could hear the girl telling this brute to get out of her house but he wouldn't listen and then there was a scream.

I stopped trying to open the door; colour drained out of my face I knew whoever this person had been was now either killed or hurt badly.
Once again the scene changed to me it seemed like I was still in the same house but in a different room; I could hear maniacal laughter in the next room and ran there.

I couldn't believe what I saw; it took me a while to register what was going on but the laughter kept ringing in my ears finally I ran to the girl on the floor.

"Sarah its okay I'll save you don't worry I won't let anything happen to you."

Tears began to form in my eyes as I realised that she couldn't hear me she was pointing at something just before she died, I looked around and anger flared up in me like it had never before.

There in front of me stood a younger Ares just after he had been brought back to life, I ran towards him trying to punch him but nothing happened.

"I'll kill you Ares I screamed out in frustration I promise you even if it is the last thing I do I will kill you."

Slowly that scene began to dissipate, I was starting to wake up at first I didn't know where I was and then I noticed someone pulling at my arm.
It was the girl I had seen before, her blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail, her grey eyes seemed to have a look of urgency as if she needed to do something, she was wearing an orange t-shirt with the words CAMP HALF-BLOOD written on the front and she was wearing black jeans.

I seemed to come to my senses and noticed that it was her that was pulling at my arm, upon looking I realised that my right hand was around some boy's throat.
The boy looked like he was close to passing out I quickly let go and he started retching trying to breathing again.

"Hey um I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."

"It is all right don't worry yourself" he coughed.

"Who are you guys?"

"I'm Percy Jackson son of Poseidon" said the boy he had medium length brown hair, his eyes were sea green, he was wearing a blue long sleeved shirt and jeans.

"I'm Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena" said the girl standing next to Percy.

"I thought that Thalia was the only one but I guess I was wrong" said Annabeth

"Thalia? Who's Thalia?"

"In relation to you she would be your sister."

"My sister? So where is she?"

"Well she isn't here at the moment; she joined the hunters of Artemis."

"Ah so she's a huntress well I guess the next time I see her we are going to have a lot of catching up to do, it seems that I have been away for too long I said staring into space."

"Kralus...Kralus?"

"Huh what? Oh sorry I was just lost in thought did you want something?"

"No we just came to check up on you and we heard you talking in your sleep, who is Sarah?"

I looked at him for a while wondering if I should answer him or not and in the end I decided it was for the best if I didn't tell him.

"It was no one don't worry about it" I said sitting up.

Looking at myself right now I noticed I had bandages on my arms all the way up to my shoulders and bandages around my stomach.
I slowly got out of the bed but was stopped by Annabeth.

"You're not allowed to leave your bed she said with concerned eyes your wounds still haven't healed properly."

"yeah I know what you mean, it's been a while since I was this beat up but I guess that is bound to happen when you have your p-"

I decided to stop there as it wouldn't be a good idea to reveal to them that I had my powers sealed, we sat down for a while and talked I asked them quite a few questions about the camp which they happily answered.
After a while a few more people came in, they were the three girls from last night they looked like they didn't get much sleep as they saw me sitting up their faces lit up a little.

"Hello my name is Angelina Vickers" said a girl with blonde hair, she was wearing a pink shirt with the words PYROBLAST written on it and jeans, her green eyes were what caught my attention. They seemed so deep like you could get lost in them.

"Hi I'm Kathleen link" said another girl next to her she had piercing blue eyes, she was wearing a brown t shirt with some Japanese character on it and joggers trousers.
The last girl standing there looked rather worried; her green eyes were looking away from me like she had done something to offend me.

"Sa-how about you? Who are you?"

She jumped when I talked to her; she looked around to make sure that I was talking to her.

"I-I'm Nancy Salinas."

Looking at her face it reminded me of her but she wasn't this shy, she was now looking down at the floor as if she had done something wrong and then after a while she spoke again.

"Um thank you for saving us last night I wanted to ask you why you called me Sarah last night when you fell down."

Once again I kept quiet for a while I was about to speak when Chiron walked in saving me, he looked at me with warm eyes.

"I thought that was the end of you last night" said Chiron Jokily

"It would take more than that to kill me Chiron, you should know" I said laughing a little

He looked at me once again this time his eyes studying me with care, finally he spoke it felt like everyone in the room was waiting to see what he was about to say.

"Looks like over the years you haven't stopped training, your physique hasn't changed since the last time I saw you. I guess you would love to keep your body in the top condition."

"Hey what are you talking about" said Annabeth "Do you two know each other?"

Both of looked at each other and burst into laughter it felt good to laugh after a long time.

"No we don't know each other" said Chiron controlling his laughter he looked at the others with a twinkle in his eye and I guess they all knew that he wasn't telling the truth but they didn't pester him for an answer.

"Get ready everyone capture the flag is starting in a bit."

As he exited the room I looked at Annabeth with a quizzical look on my face and she knew why I was confused. She explained what capture the flag was along with the rules it didn't seem like anything hard you just needed to get the flag of the opposing team.

"So this is like a mock war I said once she had finished talking."

"In a sense yeah, there aren't that many quests that happen every year and when there are quests only a selected number of people can go so capture the flag allows them to get battle experience."

"So when there are no quests this is what you do, train and train more."

"Yeah she" said spacing out "I was like that until five years ago when Percy came here and I went on a quest with him."

"I guess it helps them in many ways" I said smiling

"Come on Kralus" said Percy

"Where to?" I asked looking a little confused.

"Well you can move around can't you?"

"Yeah but whe-"

"We are going to have you on our team for capture the flag" said Annabeth I looked at her with mild surprise.

"So you wouldn't let me get off the bed but you're letting me participate in a mock battle" I said grinning at her, her face turned a little red.

"Ah don't worry about it like I told Chiron it would take lot more than this to take me down now come on let's get ready."

"Yeah follow me I'll get you a sword" said Percy

"Don't worry about that I have my own...where are my swords?"

"Uh well last night after you passed out I took your swords with me" said Nancy looking at the floor "f-follow me I'll give them back to you."

She reluctantly left her friends, I thought she felt like I was going to flay her alive or something I was holding back laughter when she saw this she straightened up and told me to follow her.
We walked across the grounds where everyone was getting ready for capture the flag, we made it to an over packed cabin which by the looks of it told me that it must be the Hermes cabin where all the undetermined children or the children of Hermes stay.

She went to a small corner in the cabin and began rummaging through the things that were kept there until she saw something blue glowing. She pulled out one of the swords from the pile, as she did the chain pulled the other one out as well; she held them both in her hand and walked over to me.

"Here you go Kralus" she said a little hesitantly

I took the blades and was leaving when she stopped me.

"Kralus I...um I wanted to ask-"

She was cut off by another boy who had just walked in, by the looks of it he must have been one of the people staying there. He had a helmet with blue horsehair plume, a breastplate; he held a bronze sword and a shield the size of a dustbin lid.

"Oh I'm sorry I'll be gone in a minute."

Nancy's face went red and she just went out of the room, I slowly made my way out as well looking for Percy to get some armour. I found him fitted for battle; he had a bronze sword like the guy from the Hermes cabin but no shield.

"I'm okay for swords but I don't have any armour is there anything that would fit me here?"

"Don't worry I'll get someone to have a look."

He called someone over and told them to get some armour my size, he ran off and came back after a while hidden behind a mountain of breast plates. I tried them on one by one but none of them fit me luckily the last one did the trick but I had to take off my shirt.

I could feel the sea breeze now that I had gotten rid of my shirt, the only thing under the breastplate was the bandages over my burns from the previous night. Thought they weren't that bad anymore, seeing as I had my powers sealed I was still able to heal quite fast. If I had my powers I wouldn't have been hurt but that's a different story.

Just as I had finished putting on the breastplate a conch horn sounded at the pavilion signalling everyone to make their way there, once we had gathered in the pavilion the leaders of both teams ran in with the flags.
The leader of the blue team was some on from the Athena cabin, as she came sprinting in with a silk banner around ten feet long glistening grey with the emblem of a barn owl above the olive tree.

On the opposite side of the pavilion came the red team with their banner, it was the same size but gaudy red painted with a bloody spear and a boars head.

"Oh I'm going to enjoy this I grinned."

A lot of the people from the Ares cabin had good physiques even the girls; even though they were slender they had all built muscles and I knew if I let my guard down it wouldn't take them long to tear me down.
Teams were announced; it seemed that Athena made an alliance with Apollo, Hermes, Morpheus, Nemesis and Hades.

Ares had managed to ally everybody else: Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hebe, Janus and Hecate. From the looks of things the sons and daughters of Aphrodite weren't the type of people to fight all they did all day was look at their reflections in the lake and talk about the latest hair styles.

The children of Demeter could be a problem as we would be fighting them in their backyard, so we would need to be careful. Surprisingly the children of Dionysus were very athletic the exact opposite of their father but they lacked in numbers with only ten of them. The children of Janus could trick us into going the wrong way even though there were only five of them they would be formidable opponents.

The Hecate cabin was another force to be reckoned as they would be able to see the future which was an ability that Hecate herself possessed, she had three heads and was said to be able to see into the past, present and future all at once. They like Janus could also fool us into going to the wrong way since their mother was the goddess of the crossroads. The children of Hebe weren't a fighting force so there wasn't much to worry about unless they decided to turn anyone who got near a flag into old men or women.

The main problem of course would be the Ares cabin they neither lacked in strength or numbers, their cabin stood strong at twenty five making it one of the top five cabins to have the most people.
The first being Hermes for specific reasons, second being Hephaestus, third being Apollo, fourth being Demeter and Ares, finally Aphrodite. Some of the cabins barely capped the ten mark that included Hebe, Hecate, Janus, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Morpheus and Nemesis.

"Heroes! You know the rules." "The creek is the boundary the entire forest is fair game, magic items are allowed, the banner must be displayed prominently and they cannot have more than two guards." "You can disarm prisoners but you are not allowed to gag or bind them, of course no killing or maiming otherwise I would be in lots of trouble." "I will be both referee and the battlefield medic, if you haven't so already here are some weapons" said Chiron arm yourselves.

Once everyone had gotten a weapon we followed Annabeth into the south woods, once we had gone deep enough we set up guard around the flag and began to discuss strategy. We had two lines of defence before the flag which had two guards, both of whom looked ready for a fight.

Annabeth turned to give me instructions; I closely listened to what she had to say but decided to stop her when she told me that I would be a part of the first defence line.

"Annabeth I know what you're saying but I think I would be useful in the frontline; I might even be able to get to the flag before they get to ours."

"Let him try" said a boy next to me.

He looked very pale as if he hadn't seen sunlight in a while; he had a short black sword in his hand like he was expecting to get attacked. His black hair was medium length, unkempt and he was wearing ripped jeans which looked like they had gone through a lot.

"Nico what are you saying?"

"Trust me on this one Annabeth."

She looked at him as if waiting for him to take back what he said but he did no such thing.

"Sigh fine but you will be taking his place in the first defence line."

Now Nico pulled someone out from behind him, it was Nancy she looked a lot different in full battle gear but she was still shy and a little nervous by the look of her shaky sword in her hand.

"She will take my pla-"

"No Nico, you will be in the first defence line if you want Kralus to fight."

"No its fine, Nico you go to the front line I'll defend."

He looked at me for a while and refused my proposal; he walked off with Nancy at his side.

"Annabeth where is the girl positioned?"

"She's on the first defence line along with her two friends, she was quite nervous but I explained to her that this was only a small game it didn't affect anything." "She's calmed down a little but I guess the reality of holding a sword is making her a little nervous." "Anyway why are you asking about her?"

"I-Um I just wanted to ask because she seemed so nervous."

"Ah okay" said Annabeth giving me a look which told me that she suspected me of lying.

Before she could say anymore Percy came to tell Annabeth that everyone was positioned and ready.
Annabeth yelled "Blue team forward!"

I gripped my blades in excitement and began running through the forest, I could hear voices in the distance getting louder and louder. I knew they were close but after passing a thicket the voices seemed a lot further away than they should have been, it was as if I had been moved away intentionally I tried going back along the same path but it didn't make any difference.

I cursed silently knowing that I had fallen into the trap laid by the guys from the Demeter cabin, I went to the closest bushes and cut them with my swords.
I watched as the bushes grew back before my very eyes, looking around there didn't seem to be anything different they must have controlled vegetation of this part of the forest from outside. I decided there was nothing else I could do expect waiting until they grew tired or I could try to hack and slash my way out of here which may be impossible looking at the growth rate of the vegetation.

It was then that I heard a twig snap somewhere behind me I turned around immediately but there was nothing there, as I strained my eyes I could see something moving I didn't know if it was a figment of my imagination or if it really existed.

Just then something hit me; I felt a tingle all over my body and fell down to the floor my whole body felt like it had been turned to jelly.
When I looked up I saw two guys wearing full battle armour standing over me, at first I wondered how they had done this then I noticed the spears they were holding. They were flickering with red lights at the tips, they were electric spears I never saw anything like it before as I tried to get up one of them kicked me in the ribs.

I couldn't dodge in time neither could I block their attacks, they kept attacking me but I was slowly recovering from their earlier attack. I noticed that my blades weren't in my hands I quickly looked around and saw that they were near the bush behind them, there was no way I was going to get to the bush without fighting off these two.

They were talking about something but I couldn't hear them, the shock was still ringing in my ears but whilst they were talking I recovered. I grabbed the leg of the nearest guy and pulled him off balance, he fell to the floor with a surprise I grabbed his spear before he could but his friend was already alert.

He tried to shock me but this time I was ready, my reflexes were still a little slow but I was able to dodge this time I moved to the side and used to spear to shock the guy on the floor. The second I shocked him I noticed the vegetation around me shrink in size, I started grinning and the other guy didn't like that he held up his spear to defend himself.

"You know that was a nasty surprise you guys gave me, for the children of Demeter you guys sure know how to kick a guy when he's down."

"We-we uh were told to k-keep an eye on you and m-make sure t-that you don't get past here" said the boy faltering "I don't like violence and neither does my brother."

I looked down at the body next to my feet, it seemed like he was knocked out but I didn't know for how long.

"Well your brother sure enjoyed kicking me in the ribs" I said as I rubbed my side this kind of an injury should have been nothing to me but because of the injuries that I had sustained from the other night this hurt a little.

"I-uh we aren't like this p-please d-don't hurt me."

I slowly walked over to him and he dropped his spear in fear, I went behind him to pick up my blades then walked away from him.

As I was walking away he calmed down a little and watched me walk away, the vegetation around me had returned to normal I didn't know if it was because he had stopped the magic or if it was because I had defeated them. Whatever the reason I was happy to get out of there in one piece, I flexed my muscles then stretched my arms and legs as I walked after a few minutes my body was back to normal.

I started to run through the forest again, I started thinking about what that guy had said about how they were told to keep me there that must have meant that the flag was nearby either that or I was being played for a fool. After running for a while I saw a huge fist towering above the trees as I got close to it I heard a lot of grumbling.

"Why did we have to get this job?"

"We should be on the front line not guarding a flag."

As I looked through some shrubs I saw two guys pacing the area around the flag, they were on the other side of the small river. They were wearing black armour, wielding both swords and spears, from the looks of it there was no doubt that the spears were electric like the ones that the other two had the swords were made of bronze. They was no doubt about it they were from the Ares cabin, I could tell by the looks of disappointment on their face from being left here there was a burning desire for them to be in a fight.

I walked back a bit with a grin on my face and gripped my swords; even though I was a little worn down I could still put up a fight, I ran full tilt towards the shrubs where I had been a few moments ago.

"I don't know what Clarisse was thinking stationing us here."

"Yeah when-"

He looked up as he heard footsteps getting closer, both of them picked up their shields and readied their spears. I erupted from behind the bushes in the air with my swords held high, I threw them down full force and they connected with one of the guy's shields while the other looked in disbelief.

There was a loud clang followed by a thud, shield was wrecked it looked like it had been hit by a giant fist. I landed in the gravel next to them, they both attacked with the spears hoping to shock me but I parried both spears at the last second.

As I got up they were both ready to fight, I looked at them like they were foolish to fight me but I didn't care I had an old score to settle be it with the children or the father I will settle the score.

"So which one of you wants to go first?"

"Don't get too full of yourself just because you defeated a chimera, either one of us could still defeat you."

"So come on then, what are you waiting for?"

The one whose shield I had destroyed charged at my with his spear, I parried it with one sword and broke it in half with the other but he still didn't give up he took out his sword to attack me. His swordplay wasn't bad he just seemed a little desperate, I hit his sword in succession causing him to stagger a bit but that didn't slow him down he just came back stronger.

I slowly began to get back into character and began fighting seriously, every time I dodged or parried I hit him with the hilt or with my elbow. Soon he was out of energy, I felt like I had done years ago when I was part of the Spartan army in my eyes a small fire raged.

He ran at me but I didn't dodge this time I used the chain to trap his arm and then went behind him I pulled at the chain holding his arm which caused him some agony. He dropped his sword on the floor but I didn't let him go it was as if I waited for blood, I felt a sharp pain in my right arm which cause me to loosen my grip on the chain. I looked around just as the other guy swung his sword around, I was lucky that he didn't think of using the spear otherwise I would be on the floor again as he went to attack me again I extended the chains making him hit the chains instead of my arm.

The chain was still wrapped around the other guy's arm but he was able to move since I had extended the chain, he slowly got up and picked up his sword with the other arm.
I gripped my arm where I was cut; the bandages there were covered in blood and dirt which wasn't good. The one that had cut me attacked while I was looking at the cut, I only had enough time to pull the chains making his friend fly forward and hit him in the back.

I quickly got up and hit both of them on the head with the hilt before they could get up; I slowly walked towards the river and washed the wound a little. As I was cleaning the wound I noticed that it wasn't very deep so there wasn't any real danger, I went up to where the bodies lay in a heap and looked for something that could hold the banner in place rather than me having to hold it whilst running.

After searching for a bit nothing came to hand so I didn't bother it seemed as though I would have to carry the banner all the way back. I heard footsteps approaching so I quickly grabbed the banner and began running through the forest, I didn't even manage to get that far when I heard a lot of shouting and knew that I had just gotten away.

I didn't stop running because I knew that if I stopped they would catch up to me I didn't know how many there were but there was no time to find out I needed to get back as quickly as possible.
In the distance I could hear the clash of swords and shields, I followed the direction from which the sounds were coming and gradually they were getting louder.

I was grateful to the gods that they had preserved my body in the same condition it had been years ago otherwise I would not have been able to run for such a long time, behind me I couldn't hear anything so I thought that my pursuers were either tired or they gave up knowing that I would eventually run in to their team mates.

They weren't wrong either because as I ran past a tree I saw a sword coming right at my head, I only had enough time to parry the attack and carried on running. Looking behind I saw a girl with long brown hair running after me, through her helmet I could see her eyes filled with disbelief.

As I turned around I hit something straight on as I recovered I saw that it was Annabeth with a two other people from the Athena cabin.

"You got the flag?" She said in surprise "that was fast I mean really fast."

"Yeah well we might want to get going unless you want to lose the flag" I said pointing behind me to the girl.

"Ah I see you met Clarisse."

"Who?"

"She's one of the children of Ares-"

"Ah well I guess that explains everything, here take the flag and get going I'll hold her off."

I passed her the flag which she took and bolted down the path she had come from; when I looked for the girl I saw that she was changing direction to go after Annabeth. I ran towards her throwing my swords to make sure that she doesn't move further away, she hit tried to block both blades but was pushed back a bit. I pulled them back as I got closer to her.

"Get out of the way punk" she shouted.

"Wow I never thought the child of Ares would be running from a fight."

At this her anger flared even more, she looked at me like a hunter looking at her prey I grinned at her and she just seemed to get even more angry.

"I never run from anything punk, why don't I show you?"

She charged at me from her movement I could tell that she was no amateur, she was quite fast and her attacks were quite precise.

"Wow I must say unlike some of the people here you look like one of the few who I am going to have fun beating."

"Ha we'll see about that soon punk."

She played a clever ploy and I fell for it, she slashed at me as I went to dodge her attack and she caught my left arm just above the elbow. It wasn't a deep cut but she looked slightly satisfied, I tried to recover as quickly as I could and began attacking. She was fast but she wasn't able to defend all the attacks, we had been fighting for quite some time yet she looked more worn out. She had cuts all down her arms, her armour was cut in places I on the other hand had quite a few bruises and the cuts which were healing while we were fighting.

I attacked her few more times until my blades were on fire, as she staggered back I used both blades to launch her into the air. If she hadn't blocked with her sword the blades would have cut through her armour, as it stood they cut half way into her sword before I pulled them back to jump into the air myself. As I jumped I met her at the same height, I swung my swords around lengthening them as much as I could without hitting the trees and attacked her again she blocked with her sword but the look on her face told me that she felt that hit.

She flew through the thicket and on to the other side where I could hear swords clashing, but they stopped when I heard a thud. As I wearily walked across through the ticket I saw a lot of people carrying swords, shields and spears watching her on the floor. I cleared the thicket looking at her on the floor, slowly walking over to her through a lot of people from the red and blue teams finally reaching her I looked down at her.

"Still think you can beat me?"

She spat some blood out of her mouth as if to say yes, she went to pick up her blade and noticed that all she had left was a hilt. She slowly got to her knees and pointed the hilt at me, I smiled at her knowing that she was about to pass out.

As she slowly fell to the floor I caught her, there were cheers from a lot of the people in the blue team and a lot of the people in the red team shook their heads in disbelief like they never though Clarisse would be defeated.

In a bit Chiron came wondering through the crowd with Annabeth at his side holding the banner which now seemed to be the same as the one we had at our camp, at first I thought about asking what would happen now that there were two banners belonging to the same cabin but it seemed that I didn't have to. Chiron looked at me with Clarisse in my arms and immediately walked over.

"She's only unconscious, nothing is broken and she isn't that injured only small cuts and bruises."

Chiron looking at me like I had done this on purpose, after checking her breathing he got up and claimed the blue team the winners. There were loud cheers from everyone in the blue team where as everyone in the red team hung their heads in shame some of the guys from the Ares cabin were still in disbelief.

This is the first time that the same cabin has held two banners said Chiron in this case I guess it would be right to have another match to settle things but by the looks of it I don't think all of you could survive it. Therefore I deem the Apollo cabin the holder of the banner, as one of the Apollo cabin members took the flag it changed to their symbol.

That night there was a big party at the pavilion; everyone was having fun, laughing, eating and joking around. Everyone was walking around talking about the events of the afternoon; I sat at a table eating when Annabeth and Percy joined me.

"What you did out there was pretty cool, I think you're now holding the record of retrieving the flag the fastest."

"I was impressed that I had beaten the record."

"So what was the previous record?"

"I guess there never was one" said Annabeth laughing "you're the first one to make the record"

"First one to make the record and beat down Clarisse" added Percy

"I didn't-"

"I know you didn't want to but now that you have Clarisse isn't going to leave you alone until she wins against you. She will hound to the depths of Hades itself."

I tried to think about that for a second but then decided not to I'd rather just enjoy the evening; the evening was pretty pleasant there was a nice cooling breeze from the ocean and the view was amazing. With the moon out the night sky looked amazing, so many stars were shining one by one as if saying hello to each other.

"Sarah would have loved this" I whispered to myself

It seemed that I wasn't quiet enough and Annabeth heard me.

"What did you say Kralus?"

"Huh I didn't say anything you must be imagining things"

"Hmm I thought I heard something but oh well lets enjoy."

The night was the best night in years, after the party Chiron took me to my cabin. There were twelve cabins in total nestled in the woods by the lake. They were arranged in a U yet separated in a normal way (odds on the even on the right) each cabin faced a commons area the size of a stadium. There were Greek statues, fountains, flower beds and a couple of basketball hoops (which I looked at in a confused manner) In the centre was a huge stone-lined fire pit which was still burning, a small girl was sitting next to it tending to it.

We walked up a small hill and came to a cabin with the number 1 gleaming above its doors, there were big white marble columns leading up to the door. Even in the night the doors shimmered like a hologram giving off a lightning bolt effect at different angles. This cabin to me seemed like one of the biggest and bulkiest, around the cabin was a lot of statues and fountains but I didn't see any flower beds which seemed kind of odd.

"This is your cabin Kralus" said Chiron "you will be staying here from today onwards, everything you need is in there so don't worry if you need anything let me know I'll try my best to get hold of it."

"Thanks Chiron good night" I said waving at him as he went down the path.

"Sleep well Kralus."

I pushed open the big bronze doors to go inside; on the inside the cabin looked much bigger than it did from the outside. I mean there weren't a lot of things here but it still was one of the biggest cabins at the camp, there was a path going down from the door and splitting into two.

As I walked in I closed the doors behind me, the moon illuminating the whole cabin made it gleam as I walked in further I noticed that there were two rooms where the path split. To my left was the room with the bed, along with it in there was a shelf with a few books, hooks on the wall and a small fountain near the entrance of the room.

The other room had a big study desk made of oak; there were blank sheets of parchment on the desk next to a silver pen and inkwell. Along the wall was a shelf with dozens of scrolls lined up from top to bottom, the ones at top were a little darker than the ones at the bottom. I thought of pulling down a scroll to read but then left them as I was too tired looking straight ahead I saw another door way and this one had no doors.

I had to know where it leads; as I crossed the doorway my eyes were wide open. The view was amazing you could see most of the other cabins from here as well as part of the woods; there was quite a large commons area after which there was a cliff, below the cliff was the lake. Up above in the cloudless sky the moon was slowly moving across the sky, a refreshing sea breeze blew across the hill I closed my eyes for a few seconds and I thought I heard someone call me.

I shook my head in disbelief thinking that it was just my imagination, I walked back to the bed put the swords against the wall and went to sleep.
