Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n]

Subject: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 9:15 pm

I sauntered into the arena, Arsen in hand. I wore a black t-shirt and jeans, my usual attire for training. I ran my fingers through my black hair with a sigh before I twirled Arsen in my hand, slashing at the straw dummy. Everyday I came here. Everyday I strengthened my sword fighting skills. And I even practiced with daggers and archery at times. Although, I wasn't really any good at either of those. I continued onto my next "victim", swiping at the dummy with a grin.

"What a pretty sword." A small girl said admiring the craftsmenship on the hilt.

I stopped my swinging and slashing as I heard a small, young sounding voice. I turned my head, looking down over my shoulder to see a young girl. I gave a single nod. Unlike most, I didn't have much of a soft spot. Only one thing got me all smiley and mushy...and she wasn't around. I lowered my blade, studying the girl curiously. "A gift from my dad," I explained. I stuck my wrist through the handle of the hilt and Arsen turned back into a black, elastic band. I slipped the bracelet off of my wrist, showing it to her. "He thumped me in the back of the head with this while I was losing my first battle with a chimera," I explained, bending down a bit to lower myself to her height.

"Excellent." She running her small hand over the blade carefully, "I'm Emily O'Connor, daughter of Hephaestus.

I slipped the bracelet back on my wrist, slowly nodding my head. "Explains the interest in the craftsmanship.." I said, shrugging my shoulders. I stuck out my hand for her to shake. You were supposed to do that to be polite, right? "Alcander, Son of Ares. But...I go my Al," I explained with a crooked grin and a glint in my black eyes.

I walked into the.arena, my hair was cut a few inches so it brushed my shoulders though it was tied in a ponytail you couldn't really tell. I seen Al.and smiled, "Who's your new friend?" I asked smiling my left.hand rested on the hilt of my short sword.

I heard a voice I recognized and loved to hear. "Kat," I said in a happy yet surprised tone. I quickly rise to my full height, hitting my head off of the arm of the straw dummy. "Ow.." I said as I rubbed my head with my hand. I glanced between her and Emily. "This is Emily...Emily this is Kat. My.....uh...." my voice trailed off when I realized I didn't really know what to call her.
I wanted to kiss her...but would that be the right thing to do? I was clueless when it came to these things...and I was confused a lot.

I giggled as he hit his head, when he tried explain who I was, I smirked "His girlfriend" I said smiling I walked over, looking at Emily I smiled big, my freckles making me look kinda childish[/color]

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:10 pm

"And you're how old?" Emily asked smirking.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:12 pm

My eyes lit up at the sound of the word. 'Girlfriend..' I thought. Just the thought of it made me happy. Without giving it much thought I spun around, pressing my lips to Kat's. After a moment I pulled back with a grin.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:15 pm

"Nice. Yes, let's all eat each other's faces off while there's a five year old in the room." The big Emily added walking into the room with her Roper's tucked into her cowboy boots and an unbuttoned flanel jacket hanging.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:17 pm

I glared over at the girl. I didn't know her...but I didn't like her already. "I had to watch Disney movies with my little cousin. They kiss more than we just did," I retorted.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:20 pm

"I watched them too, Ares boy." Emily shot back just as fast in her country accent. Being from the south people complained on how slow she was at figuring things out, but her trips to and from Mooraj made her quick and agile in the mind and body. Lil' E pulled out her arrows and a her bow and started shooting.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:25 pm

I clenched my fists, trying hard to hold back my temper. I hated being called 'Ares boy'. Or Area anything for that matter. I wasn't like the rest of my siblings...yeah I was good at fighting and training. But I didn't go around picking random and unneeded fights. But no one seemed to believe there could be a rational, slightly level-headed 'Ares boy'.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:34 pm

"Calm down Mr. Testosterone," She said with a snort. Lil' Emily looked up at her and said, "Let's not do that, remember what happened with Loor?" Big Emily shuddered when she thought of the brutal beating she was given because of her smart mouth. She wasn't even given a weapon, she was expected to use her arms and feet and whatnot. It was unfair.
~Damn this piece of . . . computer is not workin' right.

I smiled my.cheeks.red, I walked over to the dummies and swiped at it

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:38 pm

I frowned, narrowing my eyes. "You know...I think that name is worse than 'Ares boy'..." I stated. I then sighed, shaking my head. "As hard as it may seem to believe I don't actually like to fight. I'll battle if it's against an enemy...but we're on the same side here. Believe it or don't, but I have no intentions of fighting wither if you.." I explained rather calmly.

I listened to his wordw, then went back to swipeing at the dymmies, I was getting better.at fighting

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Wed Sep 22, 2010 7:12 am

I looked over at Kat and my anger seemed to melt away. I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist. "You're getting better," I noted as I gently kissed her neck.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Wed Sep 22, 2010 3:25 pm

"I don't wanna fight you neither, I hate fighting just as much as you do." She said then she added, "I prefer confusing the enemy. I'm Emily Waters, daughter of Athena."

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Wed Sep 22, 2010 7:41 pm

" I'm Ali also daughter of Athena. As for fighting I go with flexiblity." I say walking in and just to prove my point I do a frount hand spring.

I walk into the Arena. My arms were a bit sore, but I loved this place. I put my tings down and grabbed my lucky dagger, that had 'killed' a fury on my way here. I run up to a dummy and slash at it. When I took a break someone walked up to me.

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:13 pm

I see a girl slash dummies. When shes done I Walk up to her.
"Hi, I'm Matthew Son of Hecate." I put my hand out.

Guest

I scream. I was extremely shy to anyone who wasn't related to me somehow. At least I could talk to the other children of Athena. I say, "hhee-llll-oooo... My name is Grace Sheffing, daughter of Athena."

Subject: Re: Alcander in the Arena. [o p e n] Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:21 pm

"Are you okay?" I get a little scared when she screams.
