An: Sorry that Percy has been OOC lately, but he's been dropped somewhere and he doesn't remember things. Plus, he could've gotten all dizzy and woozy when he was taken there by Hera so he's been weak. Sorry for not posting!
Since school started I have been so busy, but I'll have time to next week. I have two days off and a early, early day.
Percy's Pov
I try to make myself feel brave before knocking on the door.
The door suddenly opens and a tall guy steps out.
I feel a little tingle in my mind. Not a bad one, but not like a good one either. Like, something or someone I should remember.
"Well, hey there buddy!" says the tall guy, "My name is Bobby."
He seems nice, I think.
Something about his appearance strikes up something in my mind. I feel like I've seen him before.
He has a crooked kind of smile and he looks like he has a scheme coming on.
"It's rude to stare you know. Especially since you didn't even have the manners to say hi, but I don't mind cause you got that funny face going on and it's cracking me up."
Funny face? I start to notice that I have my eyes all squinty and I probably look like a.. type of funny looking animal?
I straighten up to and say, "My name is Percy. Reyna told me that you would…. She didn't exactly say, but she did say you had to watch me while she went somewhere."
Now he has a funny face now.
"Not a good time. Sorry. I have to get to sword fighting class."
"Can I come with you? Reyna said that you had to help me."
Technically not a lie. She did say the Hermes cabin, I think, Wait.. Hermes? Didn't she say Mercury?
"Oh, really? She's always like that making everybody else do things. Bossy."
"Please?" I say trying to make him take me.
Now I know that I should know him. Or maybe someone related to him. He just looks really similar.
I hear some laughing and find Bobby on the floor. Which is kind of rude. I guess I just made my funny face.
"Ok," He says, when he finally gets up, "but only because you're so funny, but I get to fight you."
"Deal."
"Ok. So when you get there I'll tell them that you challenged me so I'll go easy on you to make them think your ok. By the way, I'm the best fighter here so you'd better watch your back."
"I thought you said easy."
"Right," He mumbles.
Before I can say anything else I get knocked to the floor with a sword at my neck.
"Hey! He's with me! He challenged me and I bet you guys won't mind," Bobby says with a sly grin.
Reluctantly, everybody started to go away.
"Time to show us what you're made of soldier." Bobby jokingly says, "We have to get over that hill and then we will get to the Colosseum/ Coliseum/ LM. There's actually no official name though. People just call it the Colosseum and the LM means Ludus Magnus; they named it that too because the Ludus Magnus was a training school for gladiators hence the other, other name, The Great Gladiatorial Training School," He says.
"Can't they just call it a sword training place where people fight?" I say.
He laughs. "They can, but they like to be fancy with all the long names that most people won't understand. Well…We're here. You're going to need a sword."
All of a sudden, Reyna comes running in. "Here! I got it for you from Lupa. She says try not to get killed. She might need you later."
It's the pen. There's an inscription at the bottom and I know that it's in Greek. I feel the urge to uncap it and the moment I do it turns into a sword.. And everyone stops talking.
"Anaklusmos, Riptide," I say when another shot of pain goes through my pain. It's like I know it, but I don't.
"Great! You have your own sword," Bobby says. It seems like he's the only one who's not shocked with this all or at least he knows how to hide his emotions, "now we just need to get you some armor or something."
A few minutes later, I'm all suited up and ready to go.
"Shall we?" I jokingly say, trying to remind myself that I have protective gear on.
"We shall."
Quick as lightning, he swipes at me with the sword and I feel my adrenaline rushing.
I block it twice as fast and try to slice at him. It barely misses him by an inch.
"Whoa," I say, astonished.
We continue fighting like that the whole time… except for this one time when I was distracted.
Bobby jabs at my arms ( the armor only covers my chest ) and surprisingly it doesn't even harm my skin at all.
He looks at me in shock, "What other surprises do you have up your sleeves?"
So… is it ok? I do not do good fighting scenes. I want to do Annabeth's Pov next, but I don't really know what to write for the Argo II part. Should I just skip it? Or not? Suggestions? Thank you!
