chap 28 capture the flag

I walk to the arena to find percy fiddling with his armor straps i just shake my head " Come on Percy grab a sword." I say as I click my pen and my spear extends he looks at me as he holds up his sword " Not every time your opponent will use the same weapon as you so adapt." I say before jabbing my spear at him forcing him to deflect as I swipe my spear back and aiming ad his legs forcing him to step back while I slip my shield on my arm and block his slash and I jab at him again as he side steps and slashes again which I move my shield to block and I kick at his leg knocking him off balance just I swing my spear and knock his legs out from under him." Ouch." he groans " Remember there is always someone better but you must find away to turn that experience against them." I say as percy grins " Like this?!" he yells as he does a wired move that swings his legs out and knocks me on the ground before he leaps up and land on his feet. I just laugh " Yep like that." I kick my legs in the air then launch myself in the air before landing on my feet " Now lets get to training." I say getting ready and we launch in another round of sparring.

After hours later at the pavilion

" Alright everyone red team has the west blue team on the east the creek is the boundary line magic items are allowed." Chirion yells as we all divide up, I walk over towards Annabeth as she explains the plan " Zach can you gaurd the flag this time?" she asks i just nod " Sure thing." I reply as she looks at percy " You will graud the creek line." he nods " What did he mean magic items?" he asks as we walk towards our places " Items like my spear and Annabeth's hat you will get one if the fates are willing." I say as we leave him at the creek and I walk with Annabeth towards the flag and leans my spear against my shoulder." Why set him on the creek?" I ask puzzled " Because in the days you were gone he and the ares kids have been arguing in the arena so they have problems with him so if we can take away a good portion of the enemy why not." She shrugs i nod and slide the helmet over my head and picks up my spear as the conch horn sounds and everyone runs off into the woods leaving me on guard as my head turns keeping a eye on the tree line. Afew minutes go back before I hear the sound of electricity cracking and someone scream 'sigh clarssie just had her spear broke didn't she.' I think to myself as I roll my arms to stay loose.

Yawning i walk around abit before the horn sounds ending the game so I walk over the creek to find luke holding the enemy flag and percy complaining to Annabeth before a howl causing everyone to go quiet and a hell hound leaps from the trees and attacks percy crawling his chest up before my spear finds its way in the hounds neck turning it in to dust "Who lets a creature of the underworld in chirion yells before trying to tend to percy but Annabeth stops him" Chirion wait." Percy looks at her beggingly " Why?" She points at the creek " Get in." he shakes his head but limps in the creek and we all see the water heal him and a green trident floats above his head and we all kneel as chirion yells " HAIL PERCY JACKSON SON OF POSIDON!!!" he looks a round confused " Come on percy lets get you moved into cabin three." I say as he steps out of the water and nearly passes out but I sling his arm over my neck and I drag him to his new cabin.
