Percy POV

Jace and Isablle walked back into the pit just in time to see 4 telling us to go to the training room. As a group we walked in and saw that a large chalk board had been set up with matches layed out. It read as follows:

1. Annabeth v Johanna

2. Jason v Stanley

3. Isabelle v Gale

4. Percy v Jace

Rest : Maren

"Initiates! First pair in the ring!"

We glance nervously around eachother before Annabeth and Johanna step into the ring, and 4 and 6 take seats on the side. We huddle awkwardly around to watch as they begin warming up on the edges.

"Today initiates!" Four yells from the outside.

They move to the center of the ring and the fight begins with Annabeth throwing a perfect uppercut to Johannas jaw. They dance around a little bit but the fights ends quickly after Annabeth judo flips Johanna over her shoulder and places a knee in her gut.

"I, I .. stop." Johanna gasps out, her breath hitched and a large bruise forming across her jaw and another on her shoulder. Annabeth removes her knee and helps her to her feet, giving her a friendly hug. "Good fight. Johanna keep your defences up and Annabeth, keep up the good work. Next fight, Jason and Stanley in the ring."

I heard Stanley take a deep breath beside me as he steps up into the ring. He warm up a little bit and then stands in the centre. "Bring it Jason." he says with a smirk. Jason steps into the ring and warms up before standing in front of Stanley, standing slightly shorter than him. Jason goes to throw a punch at Stanleys abbs but Stanley grabs his hand and holds his other up for a pause. "Before you punch my abbs buddy, ill show you what your up against." he says, taking his shirt off to reveal his abbs. "I'd think hard before touching these bad boys. Anyway, continue." Jason went for a roundhouse kick to his head but Stanley ducked out just in time,his foot connecting harmlessly with his shoulder in the after swing. Stanley jumped back, still on defence. As Jason swung for Stanley's throat Stanley grabbed Jason's fist and twisted it around until it was behind his back. He held it there and swept Jasons leg out from under him, as they landed with a thud on the mats. Stanley held his arm there until beads of sweat appeared on Jasons forehead, and Jason whimpered as Stanley pulled harder. Eventually Jason gasped out a stop and the fight ended.

"Jason! Concentrate next time please! Stanley stop being so cocky and understand that wins wont be that easy in the future! Hurry up, next fight!"

Issabelle and Gale stepped into the ring,and fought. They were a lot more evenly matched than the others and the match carried on for longer until Gale managed to swipe Isabelles legs out from under her and pinning her down. They stepped out of the ring and Four spoke to all of us. "Good fight initiates! Very good indeed. Next pairing up please!"

As we took to the ring the training door opened and in entered a very tanned boy with blond hair falling into his eyes. Four took a glance and turned back to the ring. "Everyone this is Uriah! He is another trainer and will probably teach you to throw knives! Initiates, fight!"

I turned to Jace with my fists raised, in a defence position. He mirrors me and we dance around the ring for a while as we learn eachothers movements. I finally go for a kick to his thigh, snapping my leg up. He tries to dodge but doesnt move in time and my foot smashes into his thigh. He jumps back on impact and immediately puts his weight low in his body. He uses the momentum to launch himself up at me and kicks me in the shoulder while tackling me to the ground. We roll over a bit punching and swearing until we manage to get up. He leans in to punch an uppercut into my jaw but I side step it, the blow only catching my shoulder. Unfortunately that was the same shoulder as last time so it was beginning to throb now. I get back in the defensive position and try to protect my shoulder as much as possible. I manage to kick him in the groin, landing him on the ground. I go in for the elbow to the chest but end up hitting the ground, bruising my elbow badly. He comes up behind me and puts his foot on my abdomen crushing my air. I manage to flip him off me and when we're both on our feet and unsteady I lunge at him catching him off guard. We tumble out of the ring with a thud and we both lay there panting, trying to catch our breaths.

Four steps up. "Well, I guess its a tie? I can't really tell, good fighting boys. Its now 5:30, dinner is at 6:15 in the pit and training begins at 8:00 in the morning. You all have 50 points to spend during initiation at the tatoo parlour or clothes stores or whatever the hell you want." He turns and walks away, pulling 6 and Uriah with him.

"Sweet, im getting a tat. Any other takers?" i stand up, wincing, looking around the group.

"Yeah, whatever, ill get one." Annabeth pipes up from the corner.

"Ill pass, and ill meet you all at dinner." Jace says as he runs out of the training room.

"Um yeah, im just going to go check on him," Isabelle says, turning to jog after Jace.

I chuck my hand around Annabeths waist. "Lets go, babe."

She punches me in the arm and shrugs out from under my arm. We leave the training room and navigate our way towards the tattoo parlour, where we finally stop and stare in. "Lets do this."

Jace POV

I run out of the training room and turn left down the corridor in hopes of finding where our trainers went. I stopped as I neared a corner and paused to listen to their conversation.

"How long do you think they'll be before memories resurface?"

"It's hard to know. They all looked pretty clueless to me to be honest."

"Well maybe we can hang out with them sometime to get to know them and maybe try coax it out of them?"

"Yeah, I guess. They're strong fighters though!"

"Yeah, they really are. Escpecially Percy, Jace and Annabeth!"

"Yeah hopefully no fights break out because non of them can be controlled."

I decide to step out from behind the corner. "Oh hi, " i say, trying to act casual."

4 narrowed his eyes. "Were you eavesdropping initiate?"

"No, I was just going for a walk, and remembered that I wanted to talk to Uriah about something." Uriah cocked his eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Uh more privately?" I mumbled.

"No, in front of 4 & 6 or nowhere."

"Well, this is about um.."

"Jace! thank goodness i found you! Did you tell them you remembered yet?" Izzy asked, running into me.

4 looked up sharply. "What?"

"I just ah.."

4 stepped closer."Im going to tell you something. If this gets out i will ensure that you are factionless, or taking a midnight dip in the chasm, do you understand."

I gulped. "Yes."

"Okay. 4 is a nickname given to me because i have only 4 fears. My real name is Tobias Eaton."

Izzy gasped beside me. "You're that guy we need to see!" she turned to 6. "You arent Beatrice at all are you?"

She smiled, "yeah, i am. Do you know if any of the others have regained memories at all?"

"Nah, just me and Izzy as far as I know."

Tobias sighed. "Okay. How did you regain memories?"

"Well, Izzy was just doing something that she used to do, and it reminded me of home and it kind of just pieced together from there."

"Right. Well do you know how many friends came with you?"
"Yeah, 3. I had the smallest number; Percy had the most with 7. Oh and this guy said to pass on to you that your each allowed to bring one person with you? Whatever that means."

"Okay thanks. Well, i think that we should focus on getting you friends reunited with their memories. Try and think hard of someone that may have been taken; probably someone that means something to you."

"Oh okay."

"Yeah, sorry we're not much help. Just tell us if you hear of anyone regaining memories. Also, please follow me."

I look at Izzy with my eyebrow raised;she shrugs, so we follow Tobias up to where he lives i walk in and find it a mess with clothes strewn everywhere-male and females clothes. I raise my eyebrow. "Tobias are you married?"

"None of your concern."

He locks the door behind us and takes out a key. He lifts the rug on the floor and unlocks a trap door, which contains a steel box.

"Now, are you guys missing any weapons or equipment?"

"My..ste..stl..STEELE! MY STEELE!" I exclaim, finally remembering what I am missing. I look excitedly towards the box hoping it contains my steele.

"My, my god. Im missing my whip!" Izzy squeals, slamming Tobias against the wall."Where is my flippin' whip Tobias?" She growls.

"Hang on, hang on. Ill check, come over here."

He pulls out another key and slots it in the box, opening the lid with a click. He removes the lid to reveal a tray showing all kind of things. There was a pen, an old cap, multiple steeles, lots of these massive chests and a bow and arrow set, among other things. I stare at them and quickly grab my steele-i recognise it straight away, the first steele i was given. I hold it lovingly and put a strengthening rune on, instantly feeling a bit revived. I then notice that there are a few short daggers sitting there, covered in runes. "Seraph blades." i whispher, picking one up. There are 4 there, i presume one for each of us. I grab mine and chuck one to Izzy whos hands are already full with here golden whip coiled in a cylinder and her own steele. I nod to Tobias, and he closes the chest back up and locks it away. "Okay before you go, i just wanted to say that if you cant help Jace remember it will be because the charm lets say may prevent it. I dont really know but it might."

"Okay, thanks for your help in everything, we're going to go down to tea."

I grab Izzy and pull her along with me, as she coils her whip around her waist and tucks her blade and steele away in her jacket. I secure mine around my belt and go sit with the others for dinner.

"Hey Percy, what tat did you get?"

He smiles and pulls up his top a little bit revealing 2 crossing tridents low on his hip was simple but effective.

"Awesome. Annabeth did you get one?" she laughs, and turns around to show me the small of her back where an elegant owl sits.

"Thats a nice tattoo. Did it hurt?"

"Eh, wasnt too bad." Annabeth smirked, "Percy cried like a baby."

"Did not!" Percy cried indignantly.

I smiled, "Whatever guys."

The rest of the night was spent eating and joking around the dining table, and the merryment continued back to our dorms. It was like 1:20 when we finally went to bed.
