(so bored right now)
Astrid attacked dummy after dummy, her sword swishing through the air. Anabelle stood to the side, watching her for a minute. Astrid glanced at her.
"What are you staring at?"
"You." Astrid snorted.
"Amazed by my talents, huh?" Anabelle rolled her eyes.
"Oh please. I could beat you any day."
"You are aware my dad's the god of war?"
"And you are aware that my mom's the goddess of battle strategy?"
"That a challenge, daughter of Athena?"
"If you want it to be."
"Oh game on." Astrid kicked the dummy to the side, and Anabelle jogged out to meet her. Anabelle made the first move. Back and forth they went for several minutes, each girl eyeing the other. Finally though, Anabelle whacked Astrid's sword from her hand, and sent her sprawling on the ground. She grinned.
"Looks like someone needs some more practice." Astrid glared at her.
"You are SO dead, Anabelle Teague."
Anabelle laughed. "We'll see about that."

Cory gave a smirk, closed his eyes, and shook his head as he watched from the stands. He leaned back a moment and looked up to the clear blue sky, his gaze and mind wandering for a moment before realizing someone sat down next to him, two someones. Peter and some girl. He tensed, as if his body was trying to tell him something was horribly wrong but he smiled and said, "Hey, Wolf Man. Who's your girl friend?"
Peter blushed right away, "She's not my girlfriend, Jason, she's just a friend. She's trying to help me out. More then you have, might I add."
Cory frowned and said, "That ain't my job, Peter. That would be the fighting boy almighty, River's, job. Aren't you gonna introduce me?'
Peter muttered a few words to himself before saying, "Cory, this is Mia Akenson, Daughter of Hebe. Mia, this is Cory Jason. One of those kids I was talking about earlier."
Star reached out her hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Cory." There was the smallest, almost unnoticeable edge to her voice but she put on a smile.
Cory took her hand and shook it, "You're a little young to be hanging out with Peter aren't you? What are you, 13, 14?"
Star gave a sour response, "Only a bit younger then you, Cory. I'm 14."
Peter stood and said, "We better get going, Mia. Come on." He stood and led her out, whispering a few words to her.
Cory shook his head, "I feel like I should know her from some where..."

Astrid stormed off, her pride hurt at getting beat. Anabelle glanced over at Cory before turning back to some of the dummies, and spearing them through with her sword. She heard two other people walk up, but she didn't pay any atttention to them. At least, she didn't until she caught a glimpse of the girl. She looked familar, but she couldn't quite place where she might have met her. She didn't know any daughters of Hebe.
She watched for another moment, trying to remember. There was something about Mia's eyes, and then, she got an inkling of who it might be. "Holy Zeus, tell me I'm imagining things." She muttered.

Cory stood and shrugged to himself before jumping down from the stands, vanishing mid air, and appearing next to Anabelle, "Hey. Nice work there."

She smiled. "Thanks. The look on Astrid's face was hilarious. She's good, but she's cocky."

Cory grinned, "Aren't all of Ares children? I mean come on, he got beat by a demigod. My half brother to be precise. He always runs away from his own battles, to his big old dad, Zeus, who can just zap whoever hurt him to oblivion. I'd call that cowardice."

"Yeah, they're only brave when they have a chance of winning." Anabelle glanced over as Valerie appeared. "Hey Valerie." She replied with a smile.

"Trust me, I know. I'm not in any hurry either. Nyx can take all the time she needs." Anabelle replied, forgetting for a moment that Cory was standing there.

Valerie looked over at Cory and laughed like she did something embarasing, "Uh..." She prayed that Nyx would show up soon so she and Anabelle didnt gave to explain anything to Cory.

Cory looked alarmed, "Wait, what are you two talking about? My mother is coming here? Why?"

"It's nothing bad." Anabelle said quickly. "But it's probably something she should explain. Just something that was discussed at the Winter Solstice."
