Cyra jogged away from the medical area when she heard her name, grabbing her bow off of the weapon stand on her way out. By the time she got to the arena, John was already waiting for her, sword slung over his right shoulder.

"Finally," He shouted, letting the tip of his sword fall to the ground.

"Sorry, I had to help heal Jack," She said, knocking an arrow onto her bow.

"Well, we're ready now," He said, putting his shield in front of his body.

"Fight!" Chiron shouted, the crown once again cheering in favor of either John or Cyra.

Cyra immediately flung an arrow at John, but expecting this, he let the arrow slam into his shield, absorbing the attack before rushing.

Cyra flipped backward, letting another arrow fly at John before landing back on the ground. Before she could take off again, John was right in front of her and swung his sword. When Cyra tried to duck under the blade, John kicked dirt right into her eyes, causing her vision to blur with tears. Following up with the attack, John bashed Cyra's face with his shield, sending her flying.

"Get up, its the last match of the day!" John said, lowering his shield.

That soon turned out to be a mistake, as an arrow lodged itself into his side.

"Don't lower your guard, dumbass," she replied with a grin, getting to her feet.

Jhon growled, snapping the arrow off at the shaft, then once again charged at Cyra. This time, however, she didn't leap backward, she shot an arrow at the exposed part of his foot, causing both the foot and the arrow to get stuck in the ground before John fell to the ground, smashing his face right against the dirt.

Cyra stepped on his head, pushing it farther in the dirt, before looking up at Chiron's booth.

"The winner is Cyra Kylal!" Chiron shouted, the crowd being surprised that the round had only lasted about two minutes.

Cyra stalked off towards the huge doorway that led outside as even more Apollo campers came to cart John away. Her brother tried to get her to go to the infirmary as well, but she brushed him off.

"I need to talk to Alex," she said, marching even more briskly towards the Hades cabin, ignoring campers who called her name, congratulating her on winning.

Once she had reached the said person's cabin, she braced herself before knocking.

"Coming," Alex's voice said from somewhere inside the cabin. After a couple of moments, the door opened, and there stood Alex without a shirt on.

"You're gross," she said, pushing past him and into the room.

"I almost didn't put on pants, if that makes you feel better." He said, closing the door behind her before sitting on his bed.

"Sit," He said, motioning to the bed across from him.

"Tell me why you have come to this forbidden place."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alex has a flair for dramatics~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michael sat on his cot in the infirmary as John was rolled in, moaning and groaning about his foot. The Apollo kids had told him that due to the severity of his injuries, he would have to spend the night along with Daliha and Mellon. Both of the warriors had not regained conciseness, despite being here for quite a while. Daliha was understandable, as the spiders would numb her entire body and shut down her brain, but Mellon should have been awake by now, and some of the doctors were also starting to express worry. Either way, The winners should all be healed by tomorrow, leaving them time to participate in the big fight. Michael grinned.

This is gonna be fun.

Ohhhh boy, an update on updates (I change my schedule a lot, don't I?)

Definitely Updating Wednesdays, and this one is SUPER late because of State Championships and another story I am making with a friend (If you want me to post it on FF, leave a review saying so, but it's an original)

This is more of a filler than an actual chapter, but this now means theirs only one more big fight before the main plot begins! Woo Hoo!

Question: Asides from your own character, who's your favorite? Mine is definitely Mellon Vasilias. (Don't worry I love them all)

See ya next time,
