chap 35 training for war; luke makes a move

I just sigh and look at him " Fine Malcom but this whole war thing is stupid if you ask me someone is pulling the string from the shadows." I say as he and I pair up and he lunges at me but I parry it and slashes down only for it to get blocked " Someone manipulate the gods how do you figure?" he asks as he steps in before kicking my chest knocking me back and tries to stab at me but I side step and smack the but of my sword into his hilt knocking the blade loose. " Use the brain Athena gave you if all the gods destroyed each other who would gain from it." I say as he picks up his swords and we start dueling again for the next 3 hours.

" Ok think that is enough for today don't you think?" I ask as we walk over towards the water coolers and gets some to drink " Zach." I turn to see silena and her cabin standing awkwardly in armor " Yes?" I look at her with a raised eyebrow " I want you to help us train to this time Aphrodite will support Zeus ." I nod as I walk over while spinning my sword " Ok then bab grad some swords and lets see what I'm working with." She smiles and spins her sword as well and we both swing our swords at each other but our blades collide with each swing and slash making it look like a deadly dance to the onlookers. " You know how to fight?" I ask as I sidestep and thrust forward "I don't send all my time on my looks sweetie." she smiles as she does the same causing me to swing my sword back and guide her blade down to the ground.

" Wow how are the two of them moving in such a way?" one of the athena kids asks " Because child they are letting the others action make their own reaction in a sense they aren't fighting they are dancing." Chirion says as he walks up " Although it is strange to see the children of Aphrodite wanting to fight it seems war can bring a different side off people." " Sir I'm still wondering something." Malcom says as he walks up to chirion " And that is what?" " Who gains from the gods destruction?" Chirion losses a little color but shakes his head " Gods willing I'm wrong but I don't think that now would be a good time, Oh look they are finished."

" I guess I don't have to train you as much bab but I don't think that the same can be said your your cabin." I turn to Malcom who is just about to leave " Hey Malcom can you help train those who want to use a knife?" I ask he just turns around and nods " Ok buttercups if you want to use a sword train with silena, knife with Malcom, and spear your with me." I say as I draw my spear and slam the end on the ground as the cabin spilts with silena with 8 Malcom with 4 and me with 2. " Ok you to lets get started." I say as I slowly coach them through the motions and out of the corner of my eye I see luke talking with silena in a what appears to be a friendly manor.

" Ok you to practice with each other for a bit." I turn and walk towards luke and silena to find silena pale and sticking something in her pocket " Oi numb nuts why you scaring my girl." I holler as I get closer and wraps my arm around silena while glaring daggers at luke " No reason man I was just having a friendly chat." He says nervously before sprinting away " What did he say silena." she shakes her head and starts to shiver " Ok group training is over practice on your own time." I yell leading silena away and into the woods " Ok we are alone silena please tell me?" I ask as I sit down and she sits beside me and curls up and buries her face in my chest" He wants me to betray the gods and act as a spy, he said if I don't he'll kill you and my dad so I argeed." I nod and and wrap my arms around her. " That is rather unsettling bab but it means he trusts you now this is a good thing you told me back we can now make his next moves if you feed some false information to." she looks up at be in confusion " How is that good?" " Because silena the false information will make it to where we can predict each move he makes."

She nods " Should I tell anyone?" " No this well between the two of us something tells me luke will do something soon that him reveal himself." I say as she nods and crawls up on my laps and lays her head on my shoulder " You're not angry." I shake my head " Not yet baby but we have more pressing matters to attend to like the war of the gods for example."
