Alexander Jackson; the Great

"Who died?" I whisper to Alyssa.
"Jason Grace. He died in the war a year ago, he was Piper's boyfriend." She gestures over to the girl who shed a tear. What war were they talking about? Is this magic stuff real? Demigods, magic and wars.


The roll call is finished, and Chiron claps his hands to signal dinner time, and then all of a sudden, plates and cups start flying around the room. Literally, flying from tables into the kitchen, and back again with delicious servings of hundreds of different meals.
"What the—?"
"They're wind spirits, that carry around our plates, it's all magic." Alyssa responds.
"Look here," she says, and her cup fills up with soda. Just like that. Instantly. "They fill up with whatever liquid we can think of. Whatever you like. Try it!"
I stare at the cup and it fills itself with hot chocolate. The finest hot chocolate I have ever had. I am starting to really enjoy this Camp Half-Blood place.

“Time for the war games!” Chiron booms.
“What are the war games?” I ask Alyssa. Ben replies instead.
“We play them after dinner most nights. We play games like Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold and other games to hone our war skills. The Romans usually win, because they are all uptight and military style. Us Greeks are more laid back, but occasionally we win.”
“What are we playing tonight?”
“Capture the Flag. The Romans take the fortress, we take the forest lair. First team to take the enemy flag back to their base wins. You can help us strategize, son of Athena.”

Our team of Greek demigods run off to a small fortified building in the middle of the forest. We have 20 minutes to prepare a strategy for defending and for attacking. I was asked to be on the attacking side. The children of Hectate brought over weapons, which they charmed so they could not harm anyone, just knock them back. Much to everyone’s surprise, I took the knives, which is apparently very odd. I took about 10 of them, ready for battle.
A massive horn sounded and the defensive and offensive teams split up. Percy, and I went on offense, and the rest of the Athena kids, including Annabeth, were defence. Apparently it is strange for a child of Athena to be on the offence. Our plan was to send a small team to stealthily get as close as possible to breach their defences and call in the rest of the team, who were ready nearby. I was in the small team, along with Percy, and a few kids of Hectate and Ares cabins. Percy crosses the lake underwater, and the rest of us were meant to crawl up the river, and when Percy sent the signal, he would send a water wall to their defences, which happened to be right in front of the lake. Then we would jump out of the river, takedown their drawbridge and our army would swarm in. Percy would take the flag, and swim through the lake and retreat to our base. We get upstream fine, but then Percy sends the water wall and they ambush our small group, and we are forced to fight them. There’s too many of them, and once they attacked most of our unit were hit and had to go back to base.
Only 3 of us left; me and two Ares children. I hit about 7 of them with my knives, and they’re stunned to see how good a shot I am. Just as we were about to be overrun, I felt a surge of power and blasted them all… with a wave of water.
Again I felt all eyes on the top of my head. This time, a trident.

Notes

Okay so I lied, I didn't connect all the dots but that is definitely next chapter. (All chapters have been pre-written) I just like big cliffhangers between chapters.
