Stroll by the creek

"Thats cool.All my dad does is do hades dirty work.Hes not that bad a guy though."I said.I undid my shoelaces,took of my shoes and socks,and stuck my feet in the creek.

I shrugged."My dad does the assignment if he wants too.He dosent want me getting mixed up in it.I wish I could say the same for my cousine Eliza.She was a trained assasin for afew years before sha came to camp."I said.I took out my dager and looked at the engraving on the side.'The strong are strong and the weak are dead.'I had always strived to be the strong.Wasnt the best choice but death was worse.I closed my eyes and thought about home.

I smiled at her."Thanks sis."I stood up and streched."Do you have any specialties in magic?I suck at emotion magic but Im great with elemental."I said.As to prove my point I kneeled down,touched the ground with my index and middle fingers and mumbled"Flor."A small yellow daisy sprouted.

"I specialize in growth magic.Im equally good with necromancy and curses though."I said.I sheathed my dager and put my shoes back on.I sat down leaning on a tree."Hey sis,have you ever been cursed for life?"I asked her.

"I got a necklace that can counter weak spells.Ive been cursed for life.All because my dad broke some stupid loom.Now Ive been attacked by this one sea serpent for 13 years and have almost had my mind tacken over thrice."I said bitterly.

I look at her with a sadness in my eyes that you would never expect to see on a fourteen year old."There is no way to break it.Thanks for offering though.But this is one of those problems I have to fix on my own."I said looking into the creek and wishing that for one moment in my whole entire life Circe didnt want to kill me.To bad that was kind of impossible.

I smiled at her."I sound so damn depressed sitting here talking about my problems."I said jokingly.The brightness returned to my eyes."Wanna see something cool?"I asked her pushing away bad thoughts and trying to lighten the mood.

I roll my eyes."Uh huh."I said jokingly.I kneeled and touched the floor."Vengan"I mumbled.Soon a small,black puffbal about the size of a cotton ball appeared on my shoe.Soon a bunch of others came to.I all there were about ten."These are my searchers.They kinda work as my little intel devices.Whenever anything interesting happens they go there and put everything to memory.And when I want to see what the saw I just tap them."I said scooping one up and tapping on it once lightly.My eyes went indigo for a second but then back to normal."Preety nifty huh?"I said.

"Thats cool.All mine do is crawl through the forest looking for monster or campers."I said.I snapped my fingers and they all ran back into the forest leaving an almost udetectible trail of magic."So what can your Lampades do exactlty?"I asked her getting closer to one.

I shrugged."I dont think theyd be that much help on a quest.Theres only so much stuff you can take and who knows what the mist will make them look like."I said.I didnt really get the whole point of a lampade.Was it you minion or did it think for itself?It just didnt make sense to me.

"Uh huh."I said.Still didnt see the point."So have you ever taken any martial arts classes?Learned to street fight?Been drafted into a secret ninja training camp?"I asked her sitting down and trying to get the grass out of my coverse laces.

I laugh."Lucky.You had bullies,I had monsters."I said managing to get a jagged piece of grass out of my laces.My childhood has been...well different.I had trained magic since I was two then when I was five got drafted into a secrect ninja training camp.Definatley different."So who else have you spared?Any good ones I should check out?"I asked her.
