Frank
Right now, I feel like a sitting duck, well, a sitting duck with a MG-42, but still, right now its a waiting game. We don't know what to expect, what is gonna happen. It bugs me not knowing what they they are up there, thinking, and knowing, OH WAIT! I do huh, I took out my demiPod, and the new headphones Leo released earlier today. I put them in, and turned the setting on closest Roman.
"Look theres Frank!"
"The camp must be perfect for him, an easy going place, let's follow him, see if he's worth dueling him in the attack."
"Yeah, when there is one, this camps' magical borders are way to strong!
"Ehhh, lets follow him we have nothing better to do."
If they want a show, I'm gonna give it to them. I jumped up and started running toward the amphitheater, sword play routines are starting soon.
Basically, only 50 demigods go, you do five routines with your weapons that involves certain reportorial of punching, kicking, and maiming your dummy.
When I got there my older sis, Clarisse was letting in the last few people of the advanced class. She motioned for me to hurry, I quickly ducked in.
We started today with the song: Written in the Stars. It is a warm up song that involved a lot of stretching, yoga, and punching the dummy in the face.
It was easy, after all it was the warm up stretch. We started with the sun mantra for the first chorus. The first rap involved alot of kicks and punches. Firs right punch left punch, spin side kick, knee in the chest, and a hit with a sword but. The second chorus involved alot of stretching, and following that, the second rap involved more fighting without weapons. The final chorus came on, everyone picked up their weapons, and started hacking and slashing. This point is like a competition, who ever maimed their dummy the most got one extra dessert during dinner.
The next song was Without You, which basically, practicing rolls, flips, jumps twrils, agility stuff. Then it was More, where we spent the entire song doing a fighting choreography. If we did it right, the dummy would fall apart write when the song ended. "Push it to the limit give it MOREEEEE" and exactly when it ended, the dummy would crumple. Because the Romans were there, I could tell everyone was putting extra efforts into getting it right. We had a quick water and oranges break, why we don't get OJ don't ask me, but that's camp rules. We chatted amongst ourselves within the 1 and the half minute we had about stuff that was happening at camp. Everyone seemed interested in wondering what really happened to Percy and Annabeth. But then, right at that moment, Clarisse blew the whistle, "OI! We aren't here to talk! Come on we have a war coming upon us! Hey lil bro! Frank! Can you check Leo's next update? We want to see how much more time we have in the arena!" I could tell that there was something else she wanted me to check. I opened up my demiPod, and saw Clarisse's message.
Hey lil bro! Dude, what are the Romans saying?
I qucily shot her back, talking about how we're better and that, they need to get ready for their attack. I didn't add the part at how two girls were saying, "OMG Frank got kinda cute now! His hair is like longer, and he is not as fat!" That was just plain weird.
"Clarisse, Leo sent a new forum message! The Giants plan to go to Greece, and wake Gaea at the Parthenon, on August 12th." I said showing my demiPod to her, but what was really there was the message I had just typed, The romans are saying we are not easy to beat. They will have to work hard. And they need to have at least 1 year training. Since thats not possible, the hold the attack off as long as possible.
"Kay, I get it, anyways, you heard him! The Giants will be ready on the 12th! Are we ready? NOT EVEN CLOSE! COME ON GUYS, TWO MORE SONGS! PUSH THROGH!"
We then did some two fast songs with serious kicking, punching, and hacking. When it was done. I realized I had barely started sweating. Man this camp wasn't about fighting. It gives you just enough work out time and strength to really tone you up, and make you stronger using the least amount of energy you have. Well, its time for free period. Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, and Nico and me of course. Are going to meet at the Big House, the only place that isn't in the eyes and ears of the Romans.
