Pierce chuckled. “Just be glad you’re on Ares’s team. If you weren’t and they knew you were new? They’d go after you to scare you.” He spoke.

Hunter readied himself. He wanted to start but was still annoyed he had to guard the flag with Mathias of all people.
Shard and Jacob both waited to begin. They wanted to get started.
Drake hopped from foot to foot, waiting.

Jared and Emilia looked at each other and both raised their weapons.
Spencer frowned,”these people are way too intense,”she breathed, lifting her sword. (Little does she know she’ll soon be like that too 😂)
Nat moved over to Quinn,”you ready for this?”she asked wielding her bow off of her back. She carried no shield, feeling that it weighed her down, and she liked to move fast.
Tatum took her spear into her hands and Blake lifted her double edged sword, getting ready to attack.
Ben readied his bow, awaiting Chiron’s signal.

“You isn’t know the half of it.” Pierce looked at her.
Quinn nodded, daggers ready. “I’m ready.” She spoke. “Can’t wait you to kick some butt.”

Mathias crossed his arms firmly, ready to fight. He gritted his teeth with anticipation, casting one single glance at Hunter. The slightly younger camper was not weak, but he also had lightning and the title of a son of Zues. Hunter was as heroic of a hero stereotype that one could get. Mathias would have preferred to guard alone, either way. But the prospect of competition won over, so he opted to suck it up for now.
"I'm as ready as you are, James." Evelyn nodded, pulling out her short sword with a quirk of her lips. "Let's focus on the other campers with no elemental powers."

Oh Blazer just so you know I made a Dionysus camper that has a crush on Evelyn)
James chuckled as he jokingly said," Really, but I was so looking forward to the Demeter kids attacking me with plants." He then popped his neck in anticipation for the fight and said," I can't wait to get sweet revenge on those Ares kids for looking down on me in combat."

“Just don’t go running up in their faces, alright?” Evelyn rolled her eyes with humor, though she hoped his blindness would not hinder him too much. “Keep long ranged in you can with your lance. They’re brutal in close combat.”
(Oh boy XD )

James sighed and said," You are still worried that my being blind will hinder me." He then groaned as he rested his spear on his shoulder and said," Sis I will be fine, you don't have to worry about me to much." He then smiled a little bit and lightly bumped her while saying," But don't worry I will play this smart and try not to get into close combat."

Chiron nodded to the two team leaders and stepped aside.
Horus lifted his cabin's banner, a ten feet long glistening gray banner with a painting of a barn owl above an olive tree while Nathanial carried his, a gaudy red with a bloody spear and a boars head. Horus called for the blue team, "Forward!" and he led his team out into the forest to get set up before the conch horn was blown to signal the start of the game.
After the blue team had set out, Nathanial called for the red team to set off before moving over to Mathias, "I have a favor to ask of you. Walk with me." he said, leading the red team into the forest.

Hunter followed after the red team. Pierce a few feet behind.
Shard and Jacob headed after the blue team.

Mathias turned his head to look sharply at Nathanial, moving at his side. He grunted up. “Yeah? What do you need? I’ve got to keep with the flag, as you decided.” He rumbled.

“Alright.” Evelyn nodded. “That’s our que. Let’s get moving.” She nudged at James, feeling a twinge of guilt at doubting him. She needed to have faith in his drive and his ability to care for himself.

James gave a small nod and started to walk to where they were supposed to go. As they walked he smirked wickedly and asked," So sis you gonna show of for you know who and get him to notice you?"

"I put you on guard duty, because I know you can guard it better than anyone else." Nathanial said, patting him on the shoulder, "I need you to take charge, alright? I'm going to slip away, got a bit of a surprise for the blues and I need someone capable of leading in my absence." he added, looking at his half-brother, "Think you can do that?"
Echo walked next to Horus, leading him to the cave they had found earlier in the day.
Kumiko walked next to Jacob and Connor, the small girl practically bouncing as they walked through the forest.

“What?” Mathias’ eyes widened a bit, before they narrowed once again. “The more complex you make this, the less I want to play along...” He gave a deep sigh of aggravation, though he refused to admit to his half-brother that leading others and teamwork were his weak spots. He couldn’t admit such weaknesses. Giving a sigh, he grunted.
“Fine, damn you. I’ll lead. Whatever you’re doing, it better be worth it, or I’m kicking your ass when you get back.” He quickly recited the positions of each camper in his mind.
Evelyn’s face flushed ever so slightly as she shook her head. “Of course not!...It’s just...a hopeful side effect, maybe. That’s all.” She bit her lip lightly.
Kyo moved quickly after Pheonix, giving Jacob and Roxana one hesitant glance, before he turned to seek out the proper spot.

James burst out laughing and said," Oh my gods I could hear your face flush." Once he calmed down he said," Don't worry dear sis by the end of this I promise to help you get their eye."

Kumiko is so heckin cute)
Nat looked at Quinn, “so, you have any idea what Nathanial is planning?”she asked her half-sister, talking about the capture the flag game. Considering that Quinn was friends with him, maybe he let something slip. (Little does she know. He’s got BIG plans XD)
Ben moved along with the blue team to their starting point.
Emilia followed along behind Mathias, not deeply concerned with the game, confident that her team would win. Ares led it after all. She did wonder however why Nathanial picked Hunter to guard the flag. Thunder-Wonder was too nice.

Quinn shook her head, lying easily. “No idea.” She spoke. “I’m sure he has some distraction planned however.” She spoke. “He’s good at those.”
Hunter trudged after the others, heading towards where they would place the flag. He kinda wanted this over with, having the most boring job.
Shard moved to catch up with Echo. “Ready to go?”

“Oh, James, please don’t! I couldn’t live through the embarrassment. He’s a much better fighter than I am.” Evelyn pleaded, worrying at her lip at the thought of Drake watching her fight somehow.
Valen drew his sword silently, slipping through the shadows of the forest as he followed what Nathanial had planned. He kept close to Lilith, keeping his eyes focused. He whispered lightly, fingers flashing with pale violet as he tried to reach out for any spiritual communication.

James smiled and said," You know I could tell him that you taught me everything I know, making you seem awesome and sweet." He then shrugged and said," But if you really don't want me to do anything then I wont." He then smirked knowing that he was going to do something, he just didn't know what.

"Trust me, brother, they won't know what hit them." Nathanial said, slapping him on the shoulder and pulling ahead to lead the team to the spot he had decided to put the flag, which was a pile of rocks stacked up on top of each other. When they made it, he stuck it in a crevice at the top of the pile and turned to his team, "Alright, everyone to their places and get ready!" he called out, jumping down, "Let's get a win this week!"
Horus left Nakita and Finn at the creek, letting them figure out where they would both stand guard and continued on to the cave. When they reached the cave, he stuck the flag just a little ways in so it was easily seen by the teams but still protected by the cave. Horus then turned and nodded to Phoenix and Kyo to take their places, "Alright, let's get ready." he said.
Echo looked over at her brother and grinned, "More than ready." she said, nudging her brother, "Let's show those Ares dunderheads that not all Aphrodite kids are airheads."

“They should already know not to call you an airhead.” Shard chuckled, moving to get ready. He pulled a dagger from his belt, ready to go.
Finn looked at Nakita. “So what should we do sister?” He smirked at her.
Hunter stood by the rocks. He scowled lightly, not liking this plan.

“That’s kind, but...but I’d rather do this one on my own.” Evelyn fretted, a sheepish laugh escaping her as she followed with her campmates.
Kyo nodded quietly to Horus, glancing at Pheonix as he offered. “I can position up high if you want to stay on the ground...” He glanced at one of the nearby trees.
Mathias grumbled lightly at Nathanial’s assurances, releasing a sigh as he readied himself to keep the team in line as best as he could. Guarding would be easy enough, so long as Hunter stayed where he was needed.

Natasha looked over at Ben, and then at Kyo and Phoenix,”hey, so I think Ben and I will perch up in a tree, a couple yards out from the cave, since we have our bows,”she suggested to the Hephaestus kids. “We most likely won’t stop them all, ya know, without really injuring them...”she said with a small laugh.
Ben grinned,”buuut we should we able to slow a few of them down?”he suggested to the Hephaestus children. He slung his bow over his back, preparing to climb.

Jacob looked at his fellow teammates. “I can lay some traps!” He smiled. Shard looked at him. “No Jacob.”

Jezebel nodded her head looking at Rosaline, “Let’s do this,”she spoke though she thought for a moment. She wasn’t the best with weapons either haven found one that worked for her yet.
Lilith let out a small breath biting her lip looking up at Nathaniel then towards Valen she was still worried but tried her best to relax. Her shadows twirled around her arm ready at a moments notice.
Salem let out a low growl as she watched Nathaniel what was he up too? She shook her head before muttering something under her breath. Lifting her gaze towards the sky then towards her half sister she walked over towards Obsidian, “Let’s not mess this up got it,” she told her amber eyes staring at her. She was serious her tone icy. She was ready and willing to do whatever but was her half sister?

“That would be appreciated.” Kyo nodded gratefully to Ben and Nat. His voice was light as he spoke. “Hopefully if we wear them down enough, we can keep them away with our fire...I do not want to burn anyone too harshly though.” He admitted.
“We have to be aware for any approaching members of the other team.” Evelyn explained. “It’s best to always keep moving...”

Rosaline nodded to Jezebel. “Nathanial made it clear what the plan would be. We’re basically the foot soldiers. Let’s see if we can scout out the competition before they can scout us out.” She nodded in the direction of a thickly wooded path.
“Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.” Valen instructed Lillith quietly, his dark eyes flickering around, comfortable in the darkness.

"No!" Connor and Kumiko said together, looking at Jacob in fear.
Echo shook her head at Jacob, chuckling as she waited for the signal to start.
"Sounds good." Phoenix said to Nat, Ben and Kyo.
Obsidian arched an eyebrow at her sister, "Of course not." she said, adjusting her sword, "Try not to go overboard."
Nakita gave her brother an exasperated look, "Guard the border, obviously." she said, "Go further along, it'll be better if we separate."
After a while, the conch horn blew, signaling the start of the game. Echo looked at her friends, "Let's go." she said, taking off towards the red teams territory.
