After dropping by the Ares cabin to pick up his assault rifle, Brandon Mathias jogged into the arena. He waited for Alyssa Manning, a new sister of his, to catch up.
"Alright, time for a crash course in combat," he told her. "You have a weapon?"

"No. I just got here, could I borrow one?" I look around for weapons and spot a few in a cluster by the edge of the ring.
"Mind if I join you?" A girl asks us.
"I'm ok with it..." I mumble.

"No problem," Brandon said. He jogged over to a weapons rack, obtained a standard three-foot sword, and gave it to Alyssa. "Alright, grip the hilt with both hands. Hold it up to protect your body. Take a couple swings, just so I can see where you're at."

I unsheathed my own sword.It was the one thing I had left that I hadnt stolen while on the road.I hadnt used it in a while but I still knew how to use it.I just did a couple basic slashes.Nothing fancy really.

I take the sword from Brandon, it's bronzen metal shimmers in the sun. I clasp it tight, the leather on my hands is soft and cool as I bring it up and slash down to the left, before brining it sharply round to the right.
But then it's flying though the air, the blade reflecting light in every direction. Clang. It drops to the floor, dust blows up around it. I realize what's happened, the wod was too heavy and the momentum of it was too strong for me to keep grip on.
"Oops..."

"No problem," Brandon said. "All you need is strength training and practice." He glanced at the other girl. "You are not bad. What's your name?"

I just nod when he says she needed more practicing.I look back to him when he asks me my name."Eliza.But most people call me Eli.Whats yours?"I ask him lowering my sword.

"Brandon. Brandon Mathias. I'm from Ares," Brandon said as he proceeded to the nearest weapon rack. Grabbing a lighter weapon, a 1.5-foot short sword, he handed this to Alyssa. "Alright, same thing. Try again. This time, take a couple whacks at that dummy over there."

I walk over to a dummy and simply slice its head of with one swing.Youd be surprised how many people you can kill with that one motion.I proceed to stab it trying to not think about killing things.Stupid curse."So how long you been in camp?"I ask them both.

I take the sword from Brandon, about half the length of the other, it seems better, lighter, more balanced for me. I walk over to the dummy and slash and lunge at it a few times.
I turn round and smile.
"This sword is perfect!" I beam at Brandon. "Could I try with a shield as well?"

Brandon nodded. He procured a small round buckler shield, and handed it to Alyssa, helping her slide her left arm into the straps.
"If you like the short sword, your fighting style is almost certainly based on speed. In that case, a smaller shield will be better for you."

I put what he said to memory.I used shorter weapons more often than my sword.Though Ive barely used a seild since no ones been able to cathch me."And what if you prefer long swords?Then what?"I asked him.In the titan army they just didnt explain this stuff.They just pointed at who they wanted dead.

"There are two possibilities," Brandon replied. "Using long swords could mean you're strong enough to handle a larger shield, and employ a power-based style with some defense. Or, you may not use a shield because you feel that your sword is sufficient, or you might favour two-handed blows and blocks that would be complicated by the presence of a shield."

"I guess Im the latter.I never liked sheilds.Always got in the way and there was no use for them when I was a sniper."I said sheathing my sword and taking out both my dagers.one was silver and the other celestial bronze.Both were really bloodstained even though I polished the frequently.The blood never seemed to leave.

I strap on the buckler and make a few more blows at the dummy, it seems good. But it'd be better if I could use my shield.
"Brandon..." I bring up my voice, "Could I try shielding blows from you?"

Brandon raised his brows. "I like that kind of attitude. No dummies, but live opponents with physical advantages. Good."
Producing an aerosol can from his utility belt, Brandon clicked the top, and it expanded into a full-size, double-bladed battle axe. He got into a fighting stance and raised his weapon with both hands. "I'll start easy, but realize that easy for me is still not easy. I hit hard--let's get that out there."

"Er... Okay." I grip my sword and bring my shield round in front of me, standing side on so the shield is actually facing Brandon. "So, like, how do we start?"

Brandon's axe moved with surprising speed as he opened with a strike to Alyssa's shield. It was a quicker, weaker attack from his repertoire, but nevertheless was strong enough that her sister felt it in her arm.
"That's generally how a fight begins," he said with a grin.

"Oh...erm..." I then run at him and slash with my sword, it miss, I think he dodged it, and I bring my shield up to block his next attack.

"Not bad," Brandon grunted, before hitting Alyssa's shield again. This time, he used enough power to jar the shield, make Alyssa's arm actually hurt from the block, and knock her backwards a few steps.
"Move your feet, girl. You can't keep taking these types of hits with your build, even with a shield. Your arm will buckle if you take two more. Start using your speed. Get around me. Get under my guard. And above all, never take a stronger opponent head-on."

"Right, got it." Taking that into mind, I duck round him and jab from the back, he turns and blocks it, then lunges at me, I leap back and the axe misses. I come in again with my sword but he's too fast, jumping out the way and I go shooting past, tripping and falling. I don't hit the floor though, I roll. Then I'm back up, and going in again.

I had sheathed both my dagers and was watching the fight.He certainly knew alot about fighting.I was impresed at how fast she was catching on.I smiled.For once it actually reached my eyes.Through out the whole thing Im examining his fighting style.He looked like he would last longer than most other campers.Alyssa,with training,could too.

Brandon sidestepped Alyssa's next thrust and shoved her, regaining the distance that was advantageous to his fighting style.
"There we go. Now you're catching on. Take away your enemy's time and space. That's what you're good at. Don't forget it." He came in again with a swipe at Alyssa's sword, seeing if he could knock the weapon from her hand.

I bet if I went against him it would be a long fight.I fought with dagers making me have to be close to my apponent.He needed space.I watched intently as he tried to disarm her.Of coarse my stupid curse mark started turning red and expanding.I just ignored the urge to kill.It got easier but if I kept suppresing it at some point I would lose control and kill yet again.Damn Kronos.
