"Now," I say after a few more demonstrations and a bit of training on her side(and only one resulting trip to the infirmiry ;) ), "what do you want to learn next. the choice is yours."

I think for a minute. "Taekwondo," I say finally. "Or how to fight skillfully, without a weapon."

"that," i say, "could take months to teach. martial arts are far more complex than swordsmanship."

At the end of the day my muscles are aching. "See you tomorrow, same time, here?" I ask.

"Bye," I grab my stuff and jog out of the arena, picturing my inviting bunk back at the Apollo cabin.

I go to the spot where i choose to sleep and meditate, waiting for the next day.
When it comes i as always get up at dawn and practice. for 10 years i had maintained this ritual and i wasn't gonna give it up because of a change of venue.
When i complete that i walked calmly to the arena again. this place is pretty and i take the time to savor it.

The next morning I hurry into the arena again. I look around, then walk over to where he is standing.

"Making some tea?" I smile. This guy sure was an odd one. "Okay." I sit down.

OOT: I think it's when some people don't like you but I haven't figured out how you get a reputation yet it just appears.

BIC: "Well," I say. "So, It's last summer, you know? And all the sudden my mom just says, 'Hey did I forget to tell you that your father was the god Apollo?' Well, she didn't quite say it like that, but still. So then when I actually realized that I was a half blood, my scent got stronger, or something? And then I was walking home from the beach one day, I lived in New Jersey then, and these weird people started following me. It took me a minute to realize they were monsters, and I barely made it out of there. So then my mom sent me to Camp Half Blood, and here I am, I guess."

"interesting," i say as she finishes her tea. i pour her another cup and say. "come now the training begins," as i slash at her deliberately missing but probably surprising her quite a bit.

I jump, sloshing a tea out of my cup. I steady myself, then narrow my eyes. "You were only asking me to tell me about myself so that I would get relaxed!"

The tea stopped swaying in the cup. I waited.

"Wait!" I say. "Am I supposed to use a sword, or just try and dodge out of the way?

"i thought it was obvious. use your sword," i say and slice at her. my own tea was perfectly still inside the cup. i had gone through the exercise countless times with my sensei and now i had mastered it.

I block but a little bit of tea sloshes out of the cup. I balance it again.

"In battle everything must be in perfect balance, mind,body, and spirit, if you cannot keep tea inside a cup how can you hope to fight." i say slashing at her a few more times.

I concentrate harder and manage to not spill anymore as I block his jabs.
