POV Ω Ally

I was awoken by a strong explosion sound. I crawled out of the tent while picking up a sword, looking up at the horizon. My friends were scrambling around, throwing spears and arrows at the manticore. It was useless, their weapons didn't seep into the coat at all. It was as if it was an unbreakable armor.

I ran towards them, screaming.

"This is useless! Stop wasting the weapons, the coat is like an armor! The only way to hurt it, is it's throat. It's the only vulnerable area to hit it."

No one had heard me over the other screams, they were too busy.

I picked up a bow, and took an arrow, lighting the tip on fire. I ran towards the manticore, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

It noticed me going straight at him, as it roared, it's mouth opening. I shot the arrow straight into it's throat, right before it pawed at me, slamming me into a tree.

Then it stopped. It stood there, it's eyes widening, until it collapsed.


Cheers. "That was excellent!" Alex screamed, before he collapsed, exhausted from whacking the manticore with a stick. "Why didn't I think of this?" Owl questioned, pulling out her notebook and pencil, frustrated and mumbling theories and what not. "I had it under control," Eon muttered, picking up a shield and walking away like a snob. "Good job, Butterfly." I heard, smelling a breeze of salt water. I felt a kiss on the cheek. "Hey, Ocean Eyes."

"Hi."

"And what were you doing during all of this?"

"Uh, devising strategies."

"You were sleeping, weren't you."

He sighed, "Yes..."

I laughed. "Clean up the mess, Salty."

"Yes ma'am." He agreed, then began picking up broken weapons from the battle.

After a few minutes, I pick up some breakfast and eat under a tree with Owl. "Smart thinking. Athena would be proud of you." Owl said with a sad expression on her face. I laugh. "You would've eventually figured it out, Owl." I say, cheering her up. "Yeah, I guess."

I finish up my eggs, when Owl and I are pelted with water balloons, eventually completely soaked. "WATER BALLOON ATTACK!" We heard, Corbin and Alex jumping from the tree and continuing to pelt us with water balloons. Me and Owl looked at each other, with an annoyed look on our faces. We quickly stood up, I took Corbin by the neck, holding my dagger to him. Owl had Alex in a choking headlock. "Fall back! Fall back! We surrender!" Corbin screamed. I flipped him over, then locked him down on the ground.

Eventually the boys were tied to a tree. "We were just joking around!" Alex whined, as Owl rolled her eyes, and threw a dagger at them, it hitting the tree bark next to Alex's left ear. Their eyes widened, as they looked at each other. They started screaming manly. I laughed as I untied them both. "We were just joking around!" I say, as Owl smirked. "Okay, okay, let's not kill each other. We're low on fighters." I hear from behind me. El stood there with her arms crossed, with a frown. "Jeez El, such a kill joy!" Alex muttered.

"I just don't want anyone's fate to be like Violet's..."

I frown, then my face is angered, staring at El. Then I pounce at her.
