No more people, OK?

Yes, Finn died. You can read the posts on the other PJO RP.

Continuing...

Ianthe~

...Winters and I mingled with the others for a while, and soon we'd formed temas: Boreas, Artemis, Athena, Hestia, and Apollo against hermes, Posiedon, Hephaestus, Ares, Zeus, and Demter.

I was posted nearby our flag guarders. Armed with my sword and bow and arrows, I waited until I head a horn blare through the forest. Expecting some sort of attack or charge, I fitted the blunted arrow (we weren't allowed to use ones with points on other campers) into my bow.

CRACK! I heard the sound of leaves underneath someone's foot cracking behind me. I jerked around, but all there was was the flag guards pacing around the tree on which our flag had been draped. It must have been them. I returned to searching the empty fields in front of me for any sign of adversaries.

Then I heard a shhhhh sound. Was that someone telling another to be quiet? No, just the wind...

There was a movement somewhere, and I knew what was going to happen a second before it did.

"FREAKEYE'S GOIN' DOOOOOWWNNN!!!!!!!" Josh yelled as he and his buds burst through the trees. How could I have been so stupid? There was a nearby dried-up ravine, which led all the way into enemy territory. That's how the other team had gotten in.

I fired a bunch of arrows into some guys faces, and they stumbled. I was about to aim one for Josh, when the dude named Brutus knocked into me just as I released the bostring. Swit.

"Ooooooomph....." My arrow had hit Josh in the soft spot. When he recovered, he charged at me, wrenched my bow from my hands, and cracked it in half.

"Nooooooooo!!!" I tried to punch him, but when I made contact with his skin, an electric jolt shot through me, and my hair stuck out like a mad scientist's. Son of Zeus... curse him.

I didn't have my best weapon and I was literally electrified. The only thing I could resort to was the sword.

Argh.

I swung at him, making a small cut across his chest. He swung at me and grazed my ribs. I punched Brutus in the nose as he tried to help Josh, then resumed the duel. I aimed for his body. He blocked. I aimed again, and he grabbed my wrist, trying to make me drop my weapon. But he got too close, and I hit him in the face with the butt of my sword. He stumbled backwards and fell into the empty ravine. It wasn't too long of a fall; he wasn't going to die.

One of the flag guards,  heard the commotion (finally) and came to help me, the kid named Jamie. We pushed and punched and attacked again and again until our opposers retreated, which was strange, because some of them hadn't been touched at all. Why would they...

My eyes grew wide at the realization:it was a distraction. Someone was going to the flag from another angle.

Sure enough, Jacob Hogan, an unclaimed demigod currently residing in the hospitable Hermes cabin had tackled the other flag guard adn was running across the field, whooping and waving it triumphantly. Jamie and I raced after him, but he was too fast. He was going to cross the borderline soon, and we'd lose, and it'd be all my fault.

But then Jamie started pointing at something running...no, gliding rowards us. Winters! And she had the other team's flag. She and Jacob were racing towards the borderline as fast as they could, but Jacob had a headstart. i saw a flock of crows watching from a tree on the borderline. Then I had an idea. 

"Slow him down!" I told them. They nodded and flew towards him like bomber planes. Jacob's eyes widened and his mouth dropped. They started pecking at him, and he fell down...

But then he picked himself up and kept running. He and Winters were equidistant from the line. Who would win? Come on Winters, you can do this..

They crossed the border.....

at the same time.

There was a silence. Even my bomber plane birds stopped moving. Chiron rushed onto the field. "Well! There hasn't been a tie in fifty years! The winners are... everyone!"

Phew! I wiped the sweat trickling down my forehead. Winters was grinning broadly.

"Great job!" I told her. "You were really fast."

"Good job to you, too," she replied. "I saw you battling the snipers over there. You might not be proud of yourself, but you should be. Great gods, seven against one!"

"Thanks..." 

Could this RP be set before the other one? Then I could get to meet Ida in this one...

Nenya-

"Hold that thought, Jacob," I say, running to see the commotion.

Animals. Forest animals everywhere.

"HOY!" I yell. The kids stop. My accent is always surprising.

"What in the name of integers, water pressure, and Hades is going on?" I yell at someone. 

"Um, it's the curse of Artemis..." someone says. Oops. I guess my "swearing" is confusing to, er, less intelligent students.

Guys, I know Queen Elizabeth, and if this RP takes place before Lyra's, then Ida will be there. Queen Elizabeth will not be joining this RP (at least, I do not think so) So Ida will be a background character, if that's all right. 

Finn

I barely registered the hordes of animals before they were blown away by a freezing wind. I shivered. I had never liked the cold. A couple people cheer. Chiron got everyones attention and we all head towards the ampitheater for campfire and s'mores as if nothing had happened. After campfire sing-a-long, we go back to our cabins for showers and fun bed-time games until curfew. At least, that is what we do in our cabin. As the Demeter cabin is preparing for "lights out," a soft knock came on the door.
