Darius was calmly sitting lotus style as Annabeth marched in "alright than male you better not cry when you lose". some of the hunters chuckled but many stayed silent. Percy was off to the side more worried about whether or not Artemis would come after Darius than him getting hurt by Annabeth.

"What are the rules than demigod"."you say demigod as if you aren't one but as for the rules you can use anything you have at your disposal not as if you could harm me"."oh I am not a demigod as for what I am well you figure it out now go ahead you get the first shot".

Annabeth raised her bow and shot an arrow only for it to stop just in front of him Darius slowly rose to his feet as more and more arrows stopped flying until she ran out and Darius stood tall and rigged arms folded behind his back. Annabeth made a slow and cautious approach before lunging forward with a stab and hitting air Darius had side stepped and allowed her to fall over.

But it felt to Annabeth more like she tripped over looking around concentrated hard looking for even one inconsistency but could find none until it all just fell away and Darius was crouched over her a dagger pressing against her throat "I suppose you were right I could not hurt you it would anger lady Artemis and well she is one of the few Olympians I respect or well the four Olympians". Darius stood tall and sheathed the dagger in his belt "I will fight you hunters again at capture the flag if you wish or maybe I will sit it out let us see what will happen". Darius walked away in long calm strides where as Annabeth still did not understand what just happened.

Percy jogged up to Darius "hay it was cool what you did back there but how did you do it"."the mystic art of illusion mayhaps one of Hecate's children can teach you but it requires a keen intellect as well as much patience to learn anything certain bloodlines are better at it than others mine is incredibly powerful in all mystical abilities because they come from the mind and well thats what I'm all about mate".

"Alright I'll show you around I guess"."no need I already know my way the twelve cabins,eating area,arena,woods,beach all of it so what would you recommend I do for the time being I don't really have a purpose or a need to train as of right now". Percy thought for a moment "I'd go talk to the Hermes campers you'll be staying with them for now"."ohh right I'm going to stay here for awhile sure".

Percy raised an eyebrow "come on you can do better than that"."yah your right I think I'll tomorrow day after go get a sub hunt some beasties and maybe even enchant a few things"."enchant"?." oh its just a thing I do like that sword in your pocket was enchanted with sea blood not the top tier stuff like say Pontus or Posiedens blood but very strong it most likely amplifies your power and may have some tricks you do not know of yet".

"I um hmm I think I have to go test some thing"."don't go crazy".Darius yelled after him and received some odd looks which he just shrugged off.

Darius decided to take Percy's advice and head to the Hermes cabin where he was greeted by three people one was Luke the others where Stolls "high I'm Darius".Luke reached out to shake his hand with a smile but the Stolls went in for a hug "high where Connor and Travis Stoll junior councillors"."Connor Travis its nice to meet you now I'll give you yours if you give me mine". the two looked confused until he opened his hand and reveled two wallets one yellow one green both with an ยง sowed on them then there eyes went wide and Connor reached into his pocket pulling out a plane black wallet "your not gonna get me that easy the money too". rolling his eyes Travis reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash as well as some drachmas "good". Darius tossed the wallets into one hand and took his own back now with the money inside it while also slipping his hand in Travis's pocket to takeiout a few more drachmas "now I'll be off doing something until the game". with that Darius wandered off the Stolls looking at him with awe.

And Darius had indeed been off taking random tests that camp had the lava wall the forest all that good stuff. But now he stood among all the others as Thalia and Percy where laying out there plan Percy would guard the river alongside the Demeter cabin Thalia would go on the offense with the Aphrodite,Apollo,Ares and Dionysus While the rest would be guarding the flag itself. There where many who honestly couldn't care less about the game and Darius was among them but he had decided to stick around for the prophecy.

Standing around Darius couldn't help but be bored the hunt was taking forever to get here honestly he was so bored he could take an nap which is what he did. "Whah huh oh ohh right battle just let me". Darius awoke to an arrow slamming right next to his head

Several hunters had run out of arrows but decided to advance on the one who seemed the least like a threat the guy who just woke up Darius who was currently patting himself down for a weapon "there it is". he had finally found a dagger or more sickle in this case only to have to immediately parry a knife from one of the five hunters he than socked another in the face and stepped on a thirds boot breaking some toes. Catching the fourths kick in the curve of his blade he grabbed her leg and swung her into the first he swiftly disarmed the fifth successfully disqualifying all five against a group of forty five though its a good start. He than continued to fight dodging around blades with lightning speed before casually disarming his current target. Until there was only one hunter unfortunately there was only him to and this hunter was none other than Zoe Nightshade.

"Filthy male I'll be taking your camps flag now"."ok"."what?."ok I mean its not really my camp hades I wouldn't even count myself as a camper given I intend to leave in about half an hour"."umm ok I guess"."ohh a wait the bane of Olympus thats a water based creature". Zoe gave him a confused look before sliding over to the flag and then back into the forest "huh guess I should go no time to waste and all that".

Darius walked the opposite direction from Zoe to the edge of camp and beyond he'd done what he wanted now for a pizza or something just being in this camp made him want junk food.

line break

"Brother I know you set this in motion for with good intentions but if they hurt her so help me Gaia I will"."there is no need for that sister and I am hurt that you think I would allow my niece to bare such pain for long it will last but three days unless someone gives them more information and um sister choose your words more carefully I do not have good intentions nor is this for some hidden greater good it is a simple necessity". with that the two shadowed figure disappeared.
