Jacob was near the Field of Mars, overlooking the building of the War Game setting. Today it was a Siege; First, Second, and Third Cohorts against the Fourth and Fifth Cohorts. He knew his old Cohort would probably loose as he was from the Fifth Cohort, just like Jason Grace. He was always compared to the former Praetor, and he never liked it. Especially since the two were so similar. "You should stop brooding," Chloe said spotting Jacob and coming to stand next to help. "You'll give yourself wrinkles," She quipped. Now standing next to him she could see that he was looking at the preparation of the War Games and she could tell that he was thinking something which probably wasn't the most positive.

"Yes I know that most demigods it comes naturally to but due to me being Daughter of Trivia it requires practice. Magic isn't a toy you know." She said as she focused on strengthening the mist to make herself look drop dead gorgeous. She then looks up as the ghost says something to her.

((Sorry it took so long xx)) 'Huh... I suppose he does use Javelins.' Aquila responded, looking genuinely surprised and like he'd discovered something amazing. He shook his head and straightened as they finally arrived and joined with the group, Aquila sighing as he gazed over the weapons table. He glanced at her. 'Should I see if I can throw a javelin then?' He awkwardly asked. Although called sword fighting, it really was just weapons training; basics to gauge everyone's strengths. Most people chose swords, hence the name, but others had more unique talents that could be reaped. It's fine. Sorry mine's short. ] Elianna nodded. " I would try every kind of weapon to see what fits you best. It may be your weapon, the javelin." She placed her book to the side and took her daggers out, spinning them around her fingers. "Now. I need to find someone to practice on... Maybe we can team up, Aquila."'Uhm...' was his response, looking very uncomfortable at the idea. 'I don't particularly want to be practiced on.' He finally said, taking a step away from the woman. 'I'd really rather keep all of my blood in my body, Thankyou very much.' He found a javelin and picked it up, hefting it lightly to get a feel of its weight. Different to a spear; a little lighter, a little more flexible. He wondered if he'd be able to throw it.

Chloe raised her eyebrows dubiously at Jacob's response considering that he couldn't look anymore stressed or at least pensive if he tried. "I'm good," she paused looking out over the preparations for the war games. As an ordinary member of the 3rd legion she would probably be put at the top of the walls to defend against the 4th and 5th army which would mean that she would have a long night and she couldn't help but envy Jacob as he wouldn't be fighting in the games.

Haley focuses on the mist bending to her will. It then makes it seem there is an island in the middle of it with everything that Burleigh could ever desire.

Aquila winced as he watched her start beating up the poor dummy, and turned his attention to a target within throwing distance. Chewing his bottom lip, he closed his eyes and took a breath. its worth a try. he thought to himself. Slowly opening his eyes, he found himself blocking out his surroundings; he slid his foot behind him in a steady stance, and raised his arm behind him, his grip on the javelin not too tight, nor too loose; one arm stretched in front, poised to throw. He gave the target a vague glance, then did a few quick steps forwards for momentum, slung forth his arm, and released the javelin. It cut swiftly through the air, and there was a resounding thud as it landed solidly within the centre of the target. Aquila stared, wide eyed, and felt a very sudden buzz of excitement in his chest. Holy wow.

Jacob took a deep breath and crossed his arms, trying to relieve some of the tenseness in his muscles. " That's good. You ready for the Siege tonight?" His voice as well as his face held some amusement. He remembered when he had to participate. He always got creamed, and he had to practice more and more to become better. Soon enough, he was the one creaming other people. He knew that not everyone liked to play war games like this.

"Always," Chloe responded flicking her blonde hair which hung loose behind her shoulder. She might not enjoy it always as she was always part of the front line due to the fact that she could manipulate the water which was shot out of the water canons but it was always a moment in which all of the campers came together to work and train together to strengthen themselves and improve their abilities.

"Yes it is much easier to do if it makes someone's desires appear to be real." She says to Burleigh as she lets the mist settle and along with it the island vanishing. "I should really practice Necromancy more but the most I can even do with it is communicate with the dead to a further extent than most people can."

Aquila looked excited, his eyes wide and his breathing sharp. He looked at her and blinked. 'Isn't it war games tonight?' He asked, his tone holding much more confidence and an eager edge to it, wanting to see if he could hit a moving target. In fact, he WANTED to hit a moving target. 'Hey, kid!' He shouted, barely noticing his commanding tone, 'pick up that body shield and run across the field in a straight.' The kid whined, but did as he was told and began to run across the field, hiding behind his shield. Aquila picked up a second javelin and hefted it, deep focus in his eyes- he then threw it as fluidly as the first time, and it thudded into the shield. He released an excited whoop and punched the air, grinning at his new friend. 'I could get used to this!' He gushed, haven never felt so useful before.

He smiled wearily. 'I need to find a sword that works for me, then- or ask the Vulcan kids to find me a javelin that'll come back.' He grinned, running a hand through his hair. 'It's mostly weight with me.'

"So the undefeatable praetor Jacob Rivers is not so undefeatable," Chloe said looking back at Jacob with a mischievous glint in her blue eyes. She couldn't help but find it funny to see the praetor of the entire roman legion feely acknowledge that even he had a steep learning curve whilst he learnt to fight to a high level.

"I hardly think it is frownded upon. Some Trivia children have the curse of necromancy." She says to Burleigh now.
Jade walks to the Field of Mars considering trying to back out of war games.

That's a really good drawing, Blood. Oh, do you want me to put the prophecy up on the front page? ]
Elianna said, “Hold on. Don’t you know a javelin can also be used in hand-to-hand combat, Aquila? Jason Grace’s old weapon was a gold coin that could turn into both a javelin and a sword depending on heads or tails. Try swinging that javelin around on a dummy see how much damage it can do, and if you can still fight with it like that.”
Jacob laughed. “Yeah. How do you think I became undefeatable now, Chloe? You could be, too, if you really practiced. Anyone could, actually.” He ran a hand through his hair, turning his gaze back onto the Field of Mars, activity buzzing while the forts were being set up.
Burleigh frowned and shuddered at the thought of dead skeletons walking around. “You must remember who you’re talking to here. I don’t do dead things.”

"I forgot sorry Burleigh." She said to the girl now. Burleigh shrugged it off. " It's fine. I'm so talkative that most people forget who they're talking to. Just try to remember next time, yeah?" She smiled slightly, still obviously creeped out.

They aren't the best, but they're starters. ] Zach was walking away from the Mess Hall and towards the Forgery, or as he likes to call it, his third home. He ran a hand through his messy brunette hair as he glanced around. He flexed his hands near his side, letting flames dance around on his hands every so often to keep his mind busy. Alexander was in the Garden of Bacchus, checking on the grapes in the garden. Being a son of Bacchus, of course he would love and check on the grapes since grapes make wine, and he absolutely loved wine even if he was underaged. He flicked his hair out of his face as he moved some stones away from the vines. I found my really bad starters. xD ]
