THPOV:
The next few days went by quickly, before I knew it was Friday, Capture the Flag Day. I'm not big on fighting my friends, but Percy says it's a lot of fun. So I guess it's okay I hope that Carter doesn't have to play, I don't want him to get hurt. Though just in case he does I decided that we should practice a bit before the game begins. A sword is too heavy for him, he was barely able to hold it up. I look around and found twin swords, but they are smaller than regular swords and curved a bit. I couldn't put my finger on their name. I turn and face Carter, and hold them out to him. He takes them carefully then flipped one of the twin blades in his hand, then he looked over the twin swords.
"How are those? Are they light enough for you?" I ask, placing my hand on my hips.
"Ya their great." He smiled up at me.
"Then lets test them out" right as I finish, I swung my custom sword at him, crossing his blades together he blocked my attack. I quickly moved back a few steps and point my sword at him then swiftly, twisted and turn and hit him with the dull side of my blade to his side. No sooner he had duck under and somehow mange to get the tip of his blade under my chin, while blocking my sword and prevent me from doing anything.
"I like these" He says proudly.
"I can see that, and you use them pretty well" I say with a smile.
Later that evening during dinner, Chiron explained Capture the Flag to us going over the rules that are pretty basic and no weird little twist to them, he also went over who is on whose team. Once everyone finishes eating, they got into their teams. Apparently they team up by cabins, on my team we have Athena's Cabin, Apollo's, Hermes, and Aphrodite's cabin. The rest are the Red team. I jog up to Annabeth and Percy with Carter behind me.
"We're do you want us?" I ask eagerly.
"I thought about putting you two by the flag, since it's your first game. That way you will know how it works," Annabeth explains to us.
"That's perfect," I said with a nod. Thinking that I could learn better from watching first and that way Carter won't get hurt. We stand by the flag. We can hear swords clashing and battle cries in the distance. Carter swings his dual swords around a bit; I could tell he was getting bored. Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes and we get into attack mode. My sword is drawn and glistens in the low light while Carter gets in a low stance ready to attack, then Chiron stepped into the light.
"Woah, easy young heroes" He says with a smile. "The battle is over, your team won" My brother and I grinned, "Have you seen Percy and Annabeth?" We blink and shook our heads. "Really now... That's strange..."
"I'll go look for them" I spoke up and Chiron nods in approval. I headed out and Carter follows me, he hasn't made as many friends as I have. After a half hour or so we got Chiron and others to look for them. Carter and I couldn't stay up any longer so Chiron told us to head back, that they'd find them unable to argue we headed back to the cabin turning in from the night.
