The night had come where Daphney's task will be judged. She became nervous and thought of the possible outcome that might take place if the plan backfired. She has doubts if the two will bring their weapons or not.
Dinner came at the dining pavilion and it was the best so far. She offered her father some brisket and corn and prayed that her plan will be successful. It took an hour for the campers to clear and have their sleep. Daphney hid in large stones that are next to the cabins and the woods. After thirty minutes, Daphney saw Ryder coming out from his cabin and went to the woods. After a couple of minutes, Jade followed. She took a deep breath and started her way to the woods.
She felt so nervous but so far, everything seems okay until she felt a large body crushed her on the back. She stood up and shakes the dust off. She saw nobody on the place she had just dropped off. She turned around.
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Miguelito yelled.
Daphney screamed so loud that turned on the lights of the sleeping cabins. The Ares cabin had the loudest jeers and insults. One of the Ares kids went outside for help. The man looked exactly like a Hollywood teen star.
"Are you okay?" the Ares kid asked.
"I'm fine," Daphney said. "I'm sorry."
She turned back and gave Miguelito a warning look. Miguelito lowered his head and apologized. Thunder rumbled but subsided quickly. Daphney left the two alone and tracked her way to the woods.

She reached the woods and hid on a large trunk of a tree. She scanned around and saw Jade on a distant place. She is sitting on a large tree root. Then she saw a rumble of a tree branch on the opposite side of Jade's place and Ryder came out.
Jade stood up and locked eyes with Ryder. They don't have any weapon, to Daphney's surprise. The two circled each other. She stared at the two.
"What are you doing here, egomaniac punk silly dead girl?" Ryder asked
"I'm about to ask the same question arrogant Roman seaweed" Jade replied.
Daphney saw firelight shot upwards the sky. The two must've not seen it as they continued their taunting at each other.
"How do you know about my blood moron?" Ryder began to ask.
"No questions weird plankton" Jade growled and smiled evilly.
This time, Daphney saw a blue light, like water, shot upward the sky. Still, they didn't notice it.
"Calling me a moron?" Jade said.
"You should probably take some anger management therapy!" Ryder called out.
Jade began to charge at Ryder. She tackled him and started slapping Ryder's face. Ryder countered her and the two grappled at each other. Daphney can't take the two fighting anymore. She began to charge at them. She raised her right arm up and called down lightning. The thunder rumbled loudly, the two noticed Daphney, still grappling at each other.
"Will you stop this madness?" Daphney yelled at them and ordered the lightning to shot the two.
The two parted. The sky cleared. Daphney stood in the middle of the open forest. Jade and Ryder tried to stand, but the ground shook violently. The three of them fell on the ground. After a violent minute, the earthquake subsided. The two female demigods looked at Ryder, but he has no idea. They stood up and stare at each other.
Then, a loud roar was heard few meters away from their place.
