Leon's POV
I stumbled out of the arena, covered in sweat and with my sword hanging from my side. The healers from Apollo worked miracles, but I still felt a bit weak.
"Hey Leon," I looked up and saw Lief approaching me. His pencil was behind his ear, his pan pipes in his hand and a mischievous grin on his freckled face.
"Uh, hey Lief..." this was the scrawny kid who walked with a limp. My idea of a fun day was kicking him into submission, not chatting to him.
"What was it like when you were unconscious?" he asked.
"Erm... boring, really. Just like sleeping, but I kept having little flashes of sight."
"You could see when you were unconscious?" Lief sounded almost scared. "Like, around you."
I nodded. "Yeah, I saw the guy from Apollo healing me, my five friends from school around me, you writing something..."
"Me?" Lief looked at me suspiciously.
"Yeah, you had a pencil out anyway, so I guess it wasn't your spear!" I laughed. Lief laughed along nervously.
"Well, I'm gonna go hit the hay. This satyr fancies a nap!" he trotted off past me. I shrugged, sheathed my sword and approached Lilly. Lilly was walking towards some cabins, with her knife in her belt.
"Hey Lilly," I yelled.
She turned and waved, flashing a gorgeously natural smile – erm, I mean, boring soppy smile – and beckoned me to her.
I jogged until I caught up with her.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Knife training," she said uneasily.
"With Magenta? No way! She kicked you off a table!"
"She just wanted privacy-"
"To raise an ancient god who could change time! He could rearrange the entire history of the whole world!"
"Leon, you can't keep holding grudges!"
"I spent the majority of yesterday being speared in the side by your half-brother!" I held up my shirt to show a bloodstained bandage. "Did you really think she was just being friendly? She almost slit your throat! She's dangerous!"
Lilly looked up at me in silence.
"Alright." she gave in.
I smiled. "OK. How about I give you knife training?"
"You can't use a knife!"
"Dude, I'm a Son of Ares! I am a master of every weapon!"
Lilly looked at me, then grinned. "Fine. I know a spot in the woods. Now follow me!"
She turned and bolted for the woods, me straight behind her. She dodged trees until we arrived in a clearing by the creek.
I picked a chipping of wood from the floor and held it like a knife.
"Okay, say this is a knife-"
"It's a piece of wood."
"Have an imagination!"
She spluttered with laughter. "Okay, it's a knife."
A happy hour passed. Pegasi glided overhead whilst splashes of canoe oars were heard against the noise of shouting, yelling and talking.
Eventually, she put her knife away and we sat down on the bank together.
Unknown Person's POV
Hm... interesting. A daughter of Aphrodite and a son of Ares.
Who would have thought I would've found them together. But here they were.
Lilly looked into his eyes. He edged towards her. She did the same.
She smiled.
He grinned.
They sat there, awkwardly smiling, until she leant in. He leant towards her. Their lips connected.
They kissed.
And at that one, distracted moment, I put my plan into action. One simple spell. One call into oblivion.
And they answered.
They came.
They struck...
:O Scared much? :)
Who was that, then? Where you surprised about Lilly and Leon? Any ideas, criticisms or theories?
