Here it is the double chapter of the day I just wanted to drop in, rejoice my sexy readers! Rejoice!
——————————————————————————
With the whistle of Chiron, the game began... and one by one, everyone began to fall into my traps, nothing lethal but really annoying. After an hour of screaming confusion, I felt something coming closer and closer, all of a sudden three of Ares's children came yelling and screaming out of the forest, looking rather dashing. Clarisse, had half her hair cut off, and the other half was painted in pink with a massive and unnecessary amount of glitter decorating what was left of it. Her eyebrows were all gone, and she had a fake mustache and unicorn stickers stuck to her face with superglue, ahh, I love a good prank.
Time to use my weird emotion thingy that sometimes points what a normal set of eyes can! Now that I think that out-loud.... sounds useless.
"Looking fine Clarisse," I chuckled, closing the book I was pretending to read.
*Angry* "Get the punk!" Clarisse screamed, putting on her helmet while pointing at me.
"Alright, it seems we can't have a civil conversation," I sighed, kicking the beach chair out of the way, "Too bad, I had many jokes about your current appearance,"
Her eyes glared through the slits of her helmet in anger, boy she was angry. On her hand, she was wielding a five-foot-long spear that looked rather threatening, with the tip flickering with a red and mysterious light, maybe it was a gift from her dad. Considering her siblings only had the standard-issue bronze swords, while she held something clearly more powerful.
"Now, it's time to show you! My true power!" I smiled, looking as threatening as possible making them somewhat wary, and with a battle cry I threw the book I was pretending to read at her, and skedaddle out of there, into the river nearby, I knew my limitations, three against one without my magic, I was toast, heck one on one against her without magic I was toast, I had a gift for magic and archery, but I was average right now in the skills she excelled at, so it was time to improvise. Seeing this she growled, as she and her brothers ran after me.
Feeling, something approaching at me in the air, I ducked and managed to dodge her flying spear that lodged itself in the water, and even though I had clearly dodged the throw I felt a painful tingling all over my body, interesting.
My hair stood on end, my limbs went numb…. Fuck. Electricity. Her spear was electric, ahh I should've read the books with more detail.
While my body was shaking in pain from the electricity being forced into my body, one of Clarisse's brothers kicked me out of the water, not to save me from my pain but... well he had accomplished that indirectly, they really lack in the brain department.
They could've beat me to a pulp right there, but alas they were too busy laughing maniacally.
"Chiron said, no killing and no maiming, but he didn't say anything about breaking every bone in your body,, let's see how you enjoy being a cripple," Clarisse said in delight, as she turned to her brothers. "Grab him, I will start with his fingers"
Alright, this went from zero to a thousand in less than a second, "Alright, you seem to have some… anger management problems, so let's stop this before someone actually gets hurt," I wanted to keep my magic secret, but if I had to reveal my power to defend myself, I would.
"Oh, wow," Clarisse snorted in amusement. "I'm scared of this guy. Really scared."
"I will give you one more chance to leave this as it is… the flag is that way," I told her, I normally don't get angry, but the fact she wanted to cripple me for life… really touched a nerve, but even then I was going to give her one more chance to get out of here unscathed.
"We don't want the flag," One of her brothers snorted, "We want to beat you up, I don't know how but you have been pranking us since you arrived here, and it's time to pay, with blood,"
"I want you to remember, I gave you three a way out," I told them.
"Forget about the breaking his bones part," Clarisse laughed in anger, "Let's maim him!"
"So you will break the rules," I chuckled bitterly.
They nodded as one said, "Seeing you as an armless legless monstrosity will make losing my dessert privilege, worth it,"
"So be it," I smiled, as looked at them, taking a few steps back to end it all in one singel shot, "I hope you like being electrocuted... otherwise blame Karma, she's a bitch," I told them, "Gnidnuoser hguorht eht ria, htiw eht rewop dna thgim, eht raor fo rednuht, egnulp morf eht snevaeh dna spaer noitcurtsed, leef sti thgim dna etsat eht GNIGAR REDNUHT!" as soon as I said those words, a large bolt of lightning descended upon my target from the air, striking Clarisse and her brothers down to the ground out cold, good thing I still lacked the juice to fried them up, considering how angry I was a few seconds ago... things would've turned out for the worse.
"What in the name of Zeus was that!?" Chiron muttered in disbelief running from out of the woods towards the injured campers in shock, "How can you control the thunder…. If you are a son of Leto,"
"With the power of Christmas or friendship one of the two," I smiled innocently, yeah I knew after this my powers were out in the open, but that doesn't mean I can't mess with Chiron for a bit.
"I knew you had something under your sleeve, but this was out of my calculations…" Annabeth as she ran towards me with the enemies flag, looking somewhat disappointed, "You could've killed them," oh stuff it wise girl, they wanted to maim me.
Oh well, I suppose it's time to fix my mess, ~Dear brother Apollo, if you hear my prayer… please heal the campers I injured, I know you are the God of Healing so help me out here, and before you ask yes the deserved some of the pain I delivered, but, I might have gone over the top with how much punishment they could take, and by the way, can you get me a TV? And some games? The camp gets boring at times, with Love, Adam~
"They are healing," Luke said in shock, "Is this also your doing?!"
"I asked my brother for help, and he answered," I shrugged.
"They only partially healed, it seems Lord Apollo wants to leave them with some of the pain," Chiron stated, as he handed me a note, ~Dear little brother, don't worry I will help ya out but considering they tried to maim you for something as harmless as a few pranks… I will only heal fifty percent of the damage you rightfully gave them… and I will curse them to stay in that painful state for a month with no healing to soothe their pain, and no medicine to calm their minds… how dare they… if I had it my way… they would be dead, anywho, about the game console and TV? What are you into… Nintendo? Xbox? Or PS? All of them? And in that matter, what games you think my children would like to play with you? Waiting for your response, your incredibly awesome and handsome big brother, Apollo~
"I want call of duty," One of my nephews said from over my shoulder.
"Mario Party!"
"Smash!"
