Swordfighting
Harry hadn't lifted a sword since his first day of camp, seven days ago. He had done well in that sword session, impressing the Stoll brothers. But now it was tobe a cabin challenge, Hermes vs. Apollo.
"All right," said Connor, trying to get the Hermes cabin in order, "All right. Everyone pipe down. Trav isn't here for some reason. So….he won't be swordfighting." There was a series of murmers and shouts of "where is he? Why isn't Travis here? Dang…..and Damnit!" Harry said nothing.
"Pipe down! It'll be okay! We we have other good swordfighters! Okay, its gonna be a best of five match. I'll go first. Holly, you go second. Um…..Amuel. You go third. Lazurath will go fourth. Harris! You did pretty well last week! You can go fifth!" The Hermes cabin went to the arena, swarms of kids followed to see the challenge. They came face to face with the Apollo cabin.
"All Right! We got our fighters! Let's go!" yelled Connor to the Apollo kids. There were cheers and jeers as Connor stepped up to the stage. Other campers stopped to watch the show. Connor would be facing the second best Apoolo swordfighter, Joe Mauer. The match lasted about seven minutes, ending with connor's sword at Joe's throat. Holly was next. Holly Hunter. She was a pretty girl, about 17 years of age. She came to camp seven years ago. Holly had curly, elbow length, brunette hair. She had pretty, deep green eyes. She was an undefioned camper, but many thought she was a child of Hermes. This was because she always went with the Hermes kids on their adventures and escapades. She was facing Lizzie Smith. Holly won in about 13 seconds. Amuel and Lazurath both lost. So, it was up to Harry.
"C'mon Harry! Let's go Harris! Harry, Harry, Harry! Prove yourself, man! You can do it! Go Harry!!!" Those were the cheers that Harry got. If Harry won the Hermes cabin was free of chores for a month. He stepped into the arena. He would be facing Jason Phillips. Jason was the third best swordfighter in the Apollo cabin, btu he wanted to go last, to test Harry's skills. Test, he did. Jason's shield bore an emblem of Apollo's sun, whereas Harry's bore a cadeuceus. He steppewd in and the fight started. Jason attacked first and broke Harry's sword eh had borrowed from the Hermes cabin. Harry threw away the sword and got his ccracked shield up in a gaurding position. He grabbed Jason's sword handle and twisted away the aword, but someone threw another sword to Jason. The faight lasted for another 4 minutes until Harry knocked away Jason's sword. Unfortunatley, Jason knocked Harry to the ground with his shield and took back his sword. At the last momnet Harry threw his shield at Jason's knees, knocking him down. Connor threw Harry a knife and he held it against the back of Jason's neck. Harry had won. The Hermes cabin exploded with cheers. They ran onto the arena and tackled Harry. Before he fell to the ground he looked at Jason. He saw something in Jason's eyes that he couldn't explain, as if he had defined something eh had had a question that he wanted answered. Harry also saw Thalia, Annabeth and Percy sitting in the stands watching. Thalia looked at him with surprise and memories. He could've sworn he saw a smile. Percy ust clapped. But Annabeth glared at Harry. She thought she knew why Harry had won, so did Harry. But he hadn't considered other things…..
