Percy POV:
The day has finally come. The duel. No training, no partners. Only pure skill. Percy didn't want to hurt Jason, but Jason didn't want to hurt him. But if neither of them fight then Octavian will become praetor of the camp. And with him in charge the camp will crash in burn. He needed to do this for his friends. Maybe he could just corner Jason. Not hurt him, but corner him so that the duel is over. While thinking of his battle strategy, a horn blew loudly in the distance. The duel was about to begin. Percy walked anxiously to the battle field. From what I've heard, we are only allowed to use one weapon, and whatever our powers can achieve. When he arrived he saw Annabeth, Piper, and Leo sitting on the bench. Annabeth had a worried look on her face. Far beyond from what I can understand. Someone in full battle armor walk to him and gestered him to go to center field. Jason was there waiting. He had a worried look on his face.
"Pull your weapons!" Said the armored man. Percy pulled out the riptide and uncapped it. Piper gasped from the audience. Jason flipped his coin. They both had the ability to win, it was a fair game. "Begin!" he shouted. T
They took off. Percy had the first move. The swords were clinging together. He didn't know Jason was good with a sword. Jason swung his sword around with a powerful confidence. It almost swiped off Percy's head. He ducked right when the sword almost made contact. Percy looked a Jason with confused eyes, but his were dead serious. Percy now knew that this duel is full on. Near by there was a lake. He worked the battle towards it.
"Don't run away!" Jason shouted.
"Trust me, I'm not." When he was close enough to the water, he lifted his arms. The water created a giant wave. Jason looked up at it. Percy threw the wave. When it reached Percy, he created an air bubble. Jason had no defense over it. It crashed into him. He was pushed hard into a tree. After all the water cleared, a dark storm cloud came. Jason gave Percy a sickening grin. He slammed his hands to the ground. All around Percy light bolts fired out of the ground. Percy fell in exhaustion. Jason walked to him. Behind him lightning bolts would arise. He held his sword and went up to Percy.
"Get up." He commanded, He had such strength in his voice. Percy was so tired. He could barely breath. When he was about to summon a wave, a lightning bolt hit him. Jason stared in shock. He didn't conduct that. He looked to the sky. "Why, dad? Why?" He daid under his breath. Percy laid on the ground in pain. He was to strong to cry, but he was surely hold back tears. "Percy, I'm sorry. That wasn't me." Annabeth was yelling at Piper. She didn't know what to say. She looked at Jason with helpless eyes. She shook her head. Annabeth ran to Percy.
"Percy! Answer me!" She screamed. He grunted.
"Annabeth, I'm fine." He managed to say. He was brought to the infirmary. Every camper followed him. Jason was left alone. He looked at the mess he created. He was ashamed.
