I looked at them and sighed. They were never going to treat me normally were they?
I stared at the ground. I felt so awkward.
"How old are you?" I asked them.
"I'm 13" Mark said.
"Fourteen" Chloe said.
"I'm 16"
They raised their eyebrows; thinking I was just appearing that old. "Fine, 17. Not 170 or anything..."
They kept staring at me.
"Can't you just pretend I'm normal?"
They shook their heads.
"Can you at least stop staring at me?"
They nodded and smiled. Trying to change the subject, I asked them if they knew how to fight. "Either of you want a sword fight?" Mark looked alarmed and then nodded. He picked up a sword and some armor and went outside. I picked up Riptide.
We fought for about 5 minutes and I was careful not to hurt him.
Then he managed to get me on the ground and won. In the process though he nearly cut my arm off. In fact, if I wasn't immortal, and invunerable, I think he would have!
Groaning in pain, I ran over to the cabin and grabbed some nectar and ambrosia. Chloe's eyes widened in shock when she saw my arm.
"I lost,he must be a good swordman" I said.
I looked at my arm and winced. Soon the pain was gone and I had healed.
I knew there was something strange about Mark though....
