Aaaaah! It's here! it's finally here! happy birthday dear story, happy birthday dear story, ha-ppy bir-thday dear sto-ry, because you're fifty today! Yay! Anywho, happy chapter 50 guys!
Today was it. Today was the day half-blood's looked forward to all year, well, one of them. The CHB games.
Everyone was excited and tension filled the air as the gods, for the first time ever, were amongst them.
The games were mostly done in pairs, but a few weren't, like the starting one lead by the two Camp Leaders.
The two were sporting shorts and a CHB tee and were almost at the forest part of their obstacle.
Annabeth dodged through trees, turning this way and that. Percy, however, remembered running through the woods earlier in the summer, and knew a faster way.
He jumped up, grabbed onto a branch, swung himself onto it, and continued running. Through the trees.
Annabeth was running through the forest like a maniac, but here and there she would trip on roots or fall into combat with monsters.
Percy just kept running through the branches where not much could harm him.
They exited the forest, Percy in the lead.
Then came the part Annabeth dreaded most. They had to cross the lake.
She leapt into a canoe to row, but the canoe tipped when Percy crossed, riding on a wave.
Spluttering and cursing, Annabeth waded onto the shore, and with a battle cry that put the Ares cabin to shame, she ran after him.
Due to Annabeth's rage enfuelled run, she was only about a meter or two behind him.
Percy'd already started climbing the rocks to get to the top, slightly worn out by this point.
Annabeth was scaling the rocks like a chimpanzee.
Percy managed, through some uncalled for luck- thanks Tyche!- to reach the top first and grabbed the torch, lighting the large, bronze pot full of wood and declaring the start of the CHB games.
Annabeth glared as a laurel wreath was placed upon his head.
"I hate you," she glared at him.
"Sorry Annie-er beth," he finished the name when he saw the drakon bone dagger she'd recently placed in her hands.
Percy's father came over to congratulate him, and Annabeth's mother came over to give her a pat on the back for her splendid performance.
So far the games were off to a good start…

um, so yeah, I was hoping for a 2,000 word chapter, but I like my daily ritual of updating and it's three minutes past my bedtime, so I'll just have to post a longer one tomorrow.
Bai!
