Gazing up, my breath shaked. I wasn't up against two chumps. These two were the real deal, especially Annabeth. Calmly, wielding my sword, I smiled. "You're beyond my expectations, even the other one is impressive." I nodded toward the girl in the distance. She was supposed to be a child of Hecate and yet was powerful enough to mess with a daughter of Bellona and match me.
"I've been here for thirteen years, my trainning is beyond your expectations." Annabeth called. Drawing me in, the both of them attack. In a rapid and wild strike, I blocked Annabeth,s attack, pushed her back and matched Mia's attack.
With ease, I deflected her attack and refocused my attention to Annabeth. "A daughter of Athena and Bellona. That would make a better fight. Besides, I only have a challenge against you, not her." Arrogance drew on Mia's face. "Hey! I'm just as strong as her!"
"Oh really?" I turned. With a quick movement, I attacked her. With a flick of my wrist, her sword flew in the air, as she fell down to the ground. Aiming my sword, I smiled gazing at her. "I admit, you're good but this isn't your type of battle. Even in Rome, Trivia isn't known or acknowledged as a favorable god. The reson you lost, isn't because your not strong. It's because I am a rare demigod, when it comes to battle I'm just as strong as the daughter of Athena." Taking my leave, I approached Annabeth.
Annabeth seemed unimpressed but she still was ready to fight. Taking a slow walk, I sweeped her leg. In a block of brute force, she counter my attack, and we decended into hand to hand combat. This girl was good. Every punch I through she blocked and matched. What she was saying was true, she had the experience of thirteen years. Pulling back, we exchanged smiles.
"You're good. I never knew you could have physical prowess too."
Calmly picking up her dagger, Annabeth's expression hardened. "The goddess of battle strategy and wisdom is my mother. I can not lose." She said. Amazed, I felt like she had used that before. Probably against someone she naturally hated.
Grabbing my sword, I charged. With a slide, Our blades danced. It was harder on her since, she had a dagger, but for some reason, she made it look easy. Almost like she had done this a thousand times. Slowly, she matched everything. I'd go right, she'd go left. I went back, she moved forward. It took me minutes to deduce where and when she was going to attack.
Annabeth was indeed a master of startegy, but she was still arrogant. Pride, that was what I could use against her. Slowly, I marked off points that I could use against her. Annabeth was definitely smart, it was a requirement to be wise, let alone Athena's daughter.
Slowly, walking in, I waved at her dagger. With a sheer push of force, I knocked her dagger out of her hand. Aiming my sword at her chin, I smiled. "Looks like Bellona wins."
With a suttle laugh, Annabeth rised an eyebrow. "You'd think that!" Holding her hand in the air, the dagger returned to her. Rising to her feet, she smacked her dagger across, leaving me disarmed and astonished. "How?"
"You're not using your true potential. You're fighting like a Greek, when you're fighting style is Roman." She replied. "I am fighting like a Greek, but I do know other styles."
Gazing at the open forest paths, I noticed a swarm of demigods chargining in. In the lead, was a boy with blonde hair and sparky blue eyes. He had on a Battle jacket, a purple tee and a pair of western jeans. In all he looked more Roman than anyone else, leading a legion of Greeks into the final battle area.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Nick and Chiron riding into battle. It was true what Nick had said before. Chiron was a centuar. He had the upper torso of a man, and the lower torso was that of a white mejestic stallion. Slowly galloping closer, Chiron smiled. He nodded at me, as I withdrew my arms.
"Although, we could continue this forever, I've been defeated. Annabthe Chasw, you are better than me. I thank you. " Nodding, I allowed her to step forward and take the flag. With a cheer, the red soldiers rose their hands in victory. In the distance, the kid with blonde hair smiled as he made his way toward me.
"You truly are Roman, and a fair one at fact." He said.
Nick appeared behind me, protectively grasping my shoulder, reassuring him, he was wit me. With a polite smile, I gestured for a handshake. "I'm Scarlet Night, the daughter od Bellona and Girlfriend to Nicolas here."
"Wow, You're sisters might actually like you." The blonde hair boy said shaking my hand. "Well, If you ever want any practice or help in Roman warfare, just call me. I'm Jason Grace, the son of Jupiter and also the swordsmaster. You could also say, I'm Piper McLean's boyfriend." He admitted.
With a smile on his face, Nick removed his hand. "Wow, so you're a child of Zeus!" He said amazed. "I'd really like to see you in action sometime, maybe we could spar sometime!" Jason nodded a little apprehensive about the idea.
With a whistle, Chiron gathered everyone's attention. "I've decided to allow, Scarlet, the daughter of Bellona to remain alongside with us, here at Camp Half-Blood!"
With a big cheer, everyone roared as the night was taken to the mess hall for dinner. I smiled, holding on to, Nick's arm as our days of safety were about to begin, but something in the back of my mind told me, I didn't belong here.. It also told me that maybe, just maybe Nick and I needed to learn more about ourselves.
