Percy's POV
Nico shrugged so I went to leave. "We have classes," I announced as I walked out. They followed me out of the cabin. It was around 9:50 so it was close to the time for swordfighting. So I headed down the hill towards amphitheater. Annabeth went to her Greek class, while Nico went to archery. I walked in right on time. Clarisse was standing in front of a group of new half-bloods that the satyrs brought in.
She glanced at me, "Good, you're here. Get ready. We'll be showing the new half-bloods how to fight."
"Shouldn't you inform them of their ablities?" I asked. She rolled her eyes so I addressed the group. "So, there are two main things that shout out to our satyrs, besides your smell. All of you standing before me are diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. You have dyslexia because your brain is hardwired to read Ancient Greek. Your ADHD will save you in any battle or fight because it highens your ablity to react. Swordfighting justs your ADHD because it is just like you are in a real fight, your senses highen and you move quicker and easier. Do you understand?" I asked. When they nodded I turned on Clarisse, "You ready to get your butt kicked?"
"In your dreams. No shields," she added, nodding towards my shield. I tapped it and it returned back to a watch. "On my mark. One. Two. Three," she yelled, charging at me.
I sidestepped her, but only barely. She turned around and her sword met mine in midair. I tried to disarm her, but she realized what I was trying to do. So I quickly jumped backwards. She charged once more, but I stopped her sword. She attacked again, but I blocked. I took my turn on attacking and stabbed at her stomach. She easily blocked and gabbed her sword towards me. I smiled at Clarisse before disarming her. I put my sword tip to her throat. "I win," I announced triumphantly. The group of new half-bloods stared at me. I looked at them. "Who want to try?"
They all looked scared but finally a girl walked out the group to face me. She had short light blonde hair and green eyes, which made her look like a daughter of Demeter but I wasn't for certain. "Your name is?" I asked.
"Melony," she replied, holding her sword at the ready. I nodded.
"Well, Melony, I am going to show you a few of the most basic moves. You," I pointed towards another kid in the group. He pointed at himself, as to say 'me?' "Yes, you. Pair up with Clarisse. Everyone else, find another person in the group to pair up with. It doesn't matter who you pick. Hurry up," I demanded. "Well, Melony, are you ready?"
She nodded. I looked at her. "Okay the most basic skill of swordfighting is blocking. I'm going to come at you with a few different moves. What you want to do is block them." I put my sword to the ready and tried to hit her left side, she quickly blocked. I sidestepped her and attempted to strike her left side again. She was able to block and move to safety. I struck her right side, but this time she didn't block in time. "I'm sorry. I'll heal you in a minute. We still have to fight," I muttered as I swung at her stomach. She blocked and moved again. I continued to attack her for a few more minutes before I called it quits. I healed her right side with water. "Your right side is weak," I noted.
"Yes, I don't see very well out of that eye," she replied before taking a few sips of her water. I nodded and looked around. Clarisse was walking around showing new half-bloods how to block. I joined the effort and started to walk around to see what I could do.
Grover's POV
I was ordering satyrs around so that we could speed up the efforts to find new half-bloods that the gods informed us about. It has been a tough couple of weeks, and I haven't be able to take a break. Not only was I ordering the satyrs around, I was helping a few of them find a few. I helped the saytrs that had found a child of the big three, which wasn't that often. We had only found 3 or 4 of them so far. A boy and a girl, which were children of Zeus. I was ready to get back to camp and see my friends again, but I knew I had to find the half-bloods. If we didn't find them, they could be in big trouble. We were finding mostly Hermes children, sometimes we would come across a child of the others. I had saytrs travel in pacts of 3 to make sure that the half-bloods were safe. The group of half-bloods they travel with could very between 3 and 14. Thankfully, they all reached camp safely.
A/n- I know it isn't very long, but I wanted to see how it looked on fanfic. Please, REVIEW!
