True Sisters (Eagle and Me)

"Lesson one." Zin murmured. She really didn't want any blood to be shed on the arena right now. Neither did she want it to be her sister's. So she got to be careful. "Balance." she said, swinging a leg down her sister's path.

Lily stumbled for a moment, one foot quickly rising in the air. She summoned the wind to catch her while falling, brining her back to her original position. The teenager kept her free hand in front of her. She pondered on whether to strike or not, but she decided to wait for another frontal attack.

~ Sorry for the short post. I haven't been myself lately.

Zin stood straight. "Sorry Lily!" she said, and breathed when her twin went back into position. Zin hesitated a bit and blinked. If she really loved her sister, she would let her prepear for the challenges ahead, and not go easy on her. But it was hard. And everytime she struck, Zin felt it like it was real. She went back into her position, bending low a bit, and raised he hand defensively. "How about you actualy start?" she buckled uneasily on how she's going to do it without blood.

~Me too...

At first, Zin could almost see the gears work in her sister's mind. And Zin worried, that if it were an enemy demigod in her place, and had a battle ratherthan a friendly spar, Lily would take on diplomatic stances rather than fight. This wasn't her thing. Zin should've let her grow trees for protection. Maybe Lily would even get hurt!

Zin's attention pulled her out of the thoughts about having to keep on apologizing to Lily, when her sister stroke her dagger to her arm. The piercing pain caught her off guard and she took an involuntary sharp breath. But instead of rushing on, placing the first aid she was trained to do, she just looked upon her twin, eyes mezmarized. She had come on fast, and definitely, she knew her work on the dagger. Zin smiled, dropping her right, injured arm, like it was nothing, and straightened her stance. "Lily, tha was...fast." she said. Her sister could easily breach one's defences, as long as she took her stealth a d speed into the mix. "Not bad at all." she said, and going back into her defensize stance. She leaned farther front and smiled more. "Hw about a bit to the center?" she offered herself as a training dummy.

Lily was taken back when her attack had actually managed to work. She tightened her grip on her dagger, her knuckles turning a bright white. With that, she flipped her dagger so that the hilt was replacing the blade. The teenager struck her opponent with unbelievable speed, but kept her free hand defending herself.

Connor strolled through the endless trails of Camp Half-Blood. He had his celestial bronze sword already in his hands. Along with that, his water bottle rested in his palm. The teenager stopped when he reached the arena, where he found Zin.

~ Almost forgot to bring Connor.

"Actually, Zin," Connor began. "I've been, well, sort of confused about something. I thought that . . . that I should talk to you about it. To, y'know, get it off my chest."

Lily watched the two speak to one another. She caught one of her sister's glares, but she simply ignored it with a retorting smile. Go talk to him, she urged.

~ I'll be making things . . . difficult. >=D
