Hey everyone! Sorry it took me so long to update! I haven't had much time to write because of school starting. This chapter was a bit rushed but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Dinner that night was absolute chaos! The two unexpected wins were discussed widely among all the cabins. The Coeus and Oceanus cabin members were congratulating each other whilst the Kronus campers continued to scowl at Hunter. He wore an awkward expression as he devoured his steak, then glared at Bonnie.

For once, I walked to my table in triumph, being smiled at and congratulated. I had finally proved that the children of Oceanus weren't as worthless as everyone thought we were.

As I sat down among my cabin mates, next to Walter, a plate of spaghetti materialized in front of me. I licked my lips and clutched my knife and fork, ready to dig in... Walter gave me his usual grin as we swallowed mouthfuls of spaghetti. We had a lot in common. Walter and I arrived at camp at around the same time just at age 6. As you can imagine, Camp Titanos was quite a scary place for 6 year old kids. However, once we discovered we were in the same cabin, we became best friends and did everything together. I smiled back at Walter, thankful to have such a great friend. As I swallowed another mouthful of spaghetti, I wondered whether or not it was the right time to reveal my plan. I had formulated one a couple of weeks ago. My goal was to prove to the camp that myself and the Oceanus cabin weren't as weak as most of the others thought. But for this, I needed help and Walter was the most loyal friend I could get. However, I didn't think I was ready yet.

The remainder of the night was pleasant. I spoke with my cabin mates but the plan was always at the back of my mind.

"Congratulations to the Oceanus and Coeus cabins." Bellowed Iapetus later that night.

"I have to admit, their success today did surprise me a little". I grinned broadly as Walter nudged me. However, I was still pondering about the plan, would people laugh at me? Or take me seriously? Had their views changed about me because of the battle today? Iapetus went on;

"Just to inform those who don't pay attention" He paused, staring at a couple of the trouble-making campers.

"The Titanos cup will be announced at the end of the year. However, this year the rules will be changed slightly". Demi-titans around me now wore confused expressions. What was Iapetus talking about?

"This year". He sipped a little wine from his glass before continuing, to increase tension.

"The battles will not be the only thing contributing to your cabin's score at the end of the year." This caught my attention. I heard gasps from the crowd and scowls from the Kronus cabin.

"Your training, academic results and overall success at the camp will also contribute to your score". An explosion of shouts, scowls and yells erupted from the hall of demi-titans.

My eyes widened as I realised what this meant... the Oceanus cabin actually had a chance of winning this year! Winning was everything at camp Titanos. It meant bragging rights, glory, fame! I grinned in pleasure as I heard the yells and cries coming from the Kronus cabin. This new rule meant we had a chance of winning and they had a chance of loosing. The Kronus cabin had won every Titanos cup for as long as I can remember, this year it was anyone's game and I was determined to win it!

After a filling meal at the great hall, I trudged back to the Oceanus cabin walking the long, scenic way along the river. As I walk, I passed each of the other cabins. After all, the Oceanus cabin was placed on the very end. I passed the Gaea cabin, painted a bold, earthy colour mixed with a little green. Next I passed the Uranus cabin then the Kronus cabin which was painted a rich gold. Four large, golden poles supported the building and I could just make out their outdoor training area. It was almost a replica of the arena but a little smaller. Random objects lay on the floor and many dummies and punching bags hung from poles creating a kind of roof. Every cabin had some sort of training area where they spent a part of their day attempting to harness the power of their titan parent. Obviously the Oceanus training area was by the river. As I walked along, I passed the Hyperion cabin then the Mnemosyne, Prometheus and Coeus cabins. I stopped by the Coeus cabin, I'm not sure why. I stared in awe at the tall red and white building. Through the windows I saw many books and plain red and white bunk beds. I sighed as I finally reached the Oceanus cabin. The familiar smell of salt water wafted in the air. I stared at the river. Under the moonlight it was beautiful. That reminded me of something I had read somewhere;

Oceans could be calm and beautiful whilst at other times they could be rough and ruthless. Oceans were unpredictable, just like my life.

I shook my head and grinned, I definitely belonged to the Oceanus cabin. As I looked up, I realised how late it really was. The full moon hung in the sky like a giant light.

I tip-toed into my cabin in complete darkness. I could barely see anything but I made sure not to wake anyone. The number one rule of being a titan half-blood, never EVER wake another sleeping demi-titan. I learnt that the hard way...

I woke up to the sound of the camp bell which signaled the start of training. This consisted of weapons, battle and combat training, then academic classes as well as training with our powers. We then went through a timed obstacle course and the rest of the day was ours!

First up for me was weapons and combat.

"Great" I moaned as I trudged towards the arena alongside Walter. We all knew weapons and combat wasn't my best class. Walter pat me on the back and chuckled.

"You'll be fine". I rolled my eyes knowing that it wasn't the case.

...

"Alright!" Our instructor clapped his hands together to get our attention. His name was Ben and he was about 4 or 5 years older than me. His arms were muscular and he clutched a silver dagger in his right hand. I could see a scar running down the side of his arm. I stared at it in awe, wondering how it got there. When he saw me, he eyed me suspiciously.

"Today, we will be working with daggers". Ben yelled, his eyes still on me.

"Dylan!" He bellowed. I sighed, he always liked to pick on me.

"Come here and demonstrate for us". He grinned wickedly and handed me the silver dagger in his hand, grabbing another for himself, spinning it with two fingers.

"Show off" I mumbled under my breath but stepped forward.

"Today we will be starting simple so you better keep up!" He began.

"This is how you grasp the dagger". He yelled, clutching the dagger with his right hand, thumb on top. I imitated him with my dagger.

"I want you to all pair up and practice these swipes". He showed us a couple of moves. I flinched as he fake swiped me with the dagger across my stomach, face and legs.

"Now go!" Ben patted me on the back, a little too hard and yelled.

"Pair up with Bonnie." Then he whispered to Bonnie "Go easy on him". She grinned and nodded, staring at me with amusement. Great, I thought to myself and gulped, approaching her slowly, my dagger held up and the other hand covering my face. The others had already begun to fight yet Bonnie and I just stood there. My knuckles became white from holding the dagger too tight and my palms became sweaty.

"We don't have all day, do something!". Ben yelled at us. Bonnie broke into a run and I stood, frozen...
