I know, I know, I haven't been updating. But no one is reviewing, so I'm not driven! Has it started to get boring? If you think so, I agree. I mean all thats happened for the last three chapters is people talking. BORING! Don't worry, I swear something really cool and exciting will happen soon. After this chapter maybe, or perhaps one after that. Do guys want more about their life at camp or are you like pfft screw this I want some action. Where is the adventure?! Where's the butt-kickery!? Tell me what you want people! Anywhoooooo here's chapter… six!? wowsers. Anyway, here ya go!

I know shopping for weapons with your best friend isn't probably on your bucket list, but it should be. Especially if you got attacked by an evil guava merchant earlier on a field trip with your orphanage's school. And were saved by you teacher with a flame thrower.

That paragraph says alot about my life.

Anyway, Tsunami led me and Sunny into a small building near the cabins. Inside, it was full of all kinds of delicious items of destruction. (Ok maybe not DELICIOUS but I think I might have drooled a little over a sword on display)

Interesting fact about me: I happen to have a fondness of weaponry. I never actually got to own a gun or anything, but I did look up Japanese katanas every now and then and promised myself I'd buy one someday.

Tsunami explained to us how important it was that we were armed at all times, describing the monsters outside of the camp and stuff. No explanation was needed- having experienced first hand what the monsters are like, I definitely knew that I didn't want to rely on other people to help me out whenever something like that happened again.

"What kind of weapon do you have Tsunami?" Sunny asked

A/N: If you have any ideas about weapons for any characters, tell me. Or if you have an idea relating to the style of the weapon because of their tribe like, "Oh Clay is a MudWing so his sword should have a brown hilt" or something, please share them with me.

"That's mine" Tsunami said, pointing to a rack. She walked over and grabbed a case off the shelf. It turned out to be a sword. The hilt was leather windings and the blade itself was straight and simple, the metal slightly blued.

"Here." Tsunami handed me the sword. I reached out eagerly, my hand gripping the hilt awkwardly, not quite liking the feel.

"Feel how balanced it is?" Tsunami asked. I nodded. Despite my initial discomfort, the sword was well balanced. I handed it back to her. She slid it into it's sheath and buckled it around her waist.

"Right!" Tsunami grinned and rubbed her hands together. "Let's get started. Sword are usually best, but for you," she looked at Sunny, "You probably want a bow or maybe a dagger. And you," she frowned slightly at me, "Sword, most likely." I opened my mouth to comment on the expression she was making, probably something like, "What's wrong with your face?" then decided against it. No need to poke at the cobra.

The next hour I walked around, looking at the shelves. Every weapon I held up Tsunami would say something like, "Naw, not right." or the rare, "No way you'd be able to use that." (During those times I felt the urge to hit her with said weapon to show I could use it)

Tsunami was right though. Every weapon I picked up didn't feel right. I'm sure I could use each one just fine, but fine wasn't good enough.

After an hour Sunny had found a small dagger. The blade was thin and silvery, but Tsunami assured her that despite it's looks it was very hard. The hilt was simple and plain, but wasn't stained and Sunny's hand fit perfectly in it.

I left Tsunami showing her how to buckle it properly and went deeper into the shed. The lights got dimmer the farther I went, and everything seemed to get dustier. Then I hit the back wall.

Great. I went through the whole building and didn't find one thing.

Thats when I noticed the door. Probably used as a janitor closet, but just in case I peeked inside and flipped the switch.

The lights flickered on with a buzz and I glanced around. My first thought had been correct- it must have been used as a janitor's closet in the past. But over time a few racks of weapons had been moved in. Grinning, I walked over to them. The first one was mostly spears and bows. But the next one seemed more promising- swords and daggers.

But of course, even after going through every freaking weapon not a single one was right. Sighing, I turned around to find Tsunami and Sunny.

And stopped. Out of the corner of my eyes I had spotted something dark in the very back corner, surrounded by junk. I turned around and walked over, curious. A chest. Wood, with a heavy lock, it practically screamed Open me and see what treasures I hold!

Or maybe I just really wanted a weapon and it was full of cleaning supplies.

Who locks their cleaning supplies in a box? What, are they afraid someone will steal the windex? I pointed out to myself.

I thought back to my room at the orphanage, with the box underneath my bed. Inside was my collection of lock picks i'd bought online. Sadly, after the psycho fruit vendor episode, Webs had not allowed us time to go back to get our stuff.

So instead I searched around until I found a small hatchet on the weapons rack. I grabbed it and swung at the lock.

It went through the lock like it was cheese. Grinning, I tossed it aside and pried the lock off. The chest creaked as I lifted the lid and I peered inside. Three tightly wrapped parcels lay in the box. I reached in and grabbed the first one, and unwrapped it.

A dagger. Long and thin, the blade looked like pure silver. I recognized the metal to be similar to Sunny's new dagger. The hilt was well worked and fit comfortably in my hand. I smiled and buckled it on to my hip.

Eagerly, I reached in for the next package. I tore through the cloth covering until I had a sword laying on my lap. Holding my breath, I pulled it out of the sheath.

It came out easily with a zing!, perfectly balanced in my hand as if it had been made for me. The metal was blued, with a strange design beaten into the metal. The hilt was grey leather wound around. Imbedded in the top was a small spiral of blue opals.

I swiped it through the air a couple of time experimentally, shocked at how light it was. Grinning, I slid it back in it's sheath. I frowned at the sheath, then realized why it looked different- it was the kind that went on your back. I slipped the strap over my head and tightened it. I hardly noticed it was there.

"Glory! You coming?" Sunny called. I stood up and brushed off my knees.

"Coming!" I called, and ran to join them.


As soon as we walked out of the armory. Clay ran over and told me and Sunny that Webs needed to see us. We gave each other confused looks and followed him to the big house that overlooked the camp.

"Soo.. Is this normal? Are campers usually called to see him after arriving?" I asked Clay.

"Well yeah. He usually asks you about how you like it. But you guys aren't exactly normal so…" He trailed off, tone suggesting that Webs could have anything to talk to us about.

Wonderfull.

We walked up to the porch, but before we could go in Webs came out.

"Good you're here. Glory come with me. Sunny wait there." I smiled reassuringly at Sunny, and followed Webs into a room with a large desk. He motioned to a chair in front of it and sat down. I sat in it awkwardly, not really sure what was going on.

"How do you like camp so far?" he asked

"It's fine."

We sat uncomfortably for a couple seconds, then he said, "I have something for you."

I sat forward, suddenly very interested. Webs rummaged around in his desk for a second, then took out a box.

"In two years you're going to have to stop the war. When you do go to the Otherworld, you're going to notice some changes. Your hair, for instance, will start to change colors. You'll be able to climb trees very well and imitate birds. You will get the abilities of your tribe. But until then- " He opened the box. "This is something your tribe wears."

He pulled out a piece of clothing and handed it to me. It was a hoodie, with a hood and one of those pockets that you can stick your hand through and it'll come out on the other side.

"Wow. Thanks." I said. Webs frowned at me, hearing the sarcasm in my voice.

"It changes color to and if you put the hood on and tie the strings, you can blend in to your surroundings."

I perked up. That was cool. Quickly I slipped it on. Instantly the plain material shimmered away, to be replaced by swirls of gold and orange. I grinned.

"Sweet." I said.

Webs nodded. "Yes, I agree. I'm sure there's all kinds of hidden surprises in that thing. Anyway, can you please send Sunny in? I need to talk to her as well. You can go get dinner. Surprised, I glanced at the clock on his desk. It was 6:00 already. Suddenly I realized I was really hungry, and hurried out of the room.

Well that took forever. Usually these things take me 15 minutes but that one must have been half an hour at least. And I still have to eat, do homework, study for a test, and go to Karate class! I hope you liked this super-long chapter. Don't forget to review- tell me any ideas you have! Thanks for reading!
