Demetri stared at the screen as he was halted just in time to not call his parents. There seemed to be quite a few rules to this whole ordeal and he was beginning to wonder if they would just give him a book he could brush up on to know the do’s and don’t’s of being a Demi-god. He began to type out a text to his mum, thinking about asking Aster to take a selfie with him and then promptly realising that it might take years before an approved one finally came about, so he thought better of it. Instead he took a picture of himself with the woods in the background and attempting to hide any hint at the time of day as he had no clue where they were in relation to his family time-wise. The image would surely let his mother know he’s safe while the text would alleviate her worries as to where he was going to be for the next day or so.

Hey mum! Just checking in with you, I forgot my phone at home again so I’m borrowing one of the lads phones that I’m with. Ran into him in the forest and we got to talking, turns out I can make friends after all. Anyways, we go to the same school so he offered to take me and i could spend the night at his place and play a few board games or something. Figured you wouldn’t mind given that you’re always telling me to be social and active.

Love, Metri.

Honestly Metri you had me worried sick! How many times must i tell you that you have to bring your phone with you to the woods? You never know what you may encounter. But i suppose it worked out this once as you now have a friend so that’s nice my dear. Be sure to behave and keep me updated if you’re going to stay past the night, otherwise I’ll keep bothering this phone until you do.

Love you tons my sunshine!

He smiled at the text back and deleted the two messages before handing the phone back to Aster, thanking him for allowing to use his phone. The sun was still setting and he figured that they wouldn’t go down for the night till its been dark, and even then shifts of sleep would be the best bet given the monsters that lurked at night. A spar seemed like a decent idea, time to practice his skills in combat against another Demi-god rather than just the lumbering oaf of monsters that visited his woods. He thought long and hard on how best to approach the matter seeing as how his powers weren’t exactly combative, opting for a mind game instead. Seeing a duplicate of yourself was certainly unnerving and so Demetri figured that transforming into the Ares kid with which he’d spar with might give him an advantage in the fight. He stood there and thought of his visage, then the thought of his damned blue eyes kicked in and Demetri accidentally let his guise down for a second, revealing his electric blue eyes before the finally adjusted and shifted into a replica of the Ares kid. ”This should be fun”

"Los Angeles?" Athanasia had heard of that place before though she couldn't quite place it. Therefore, from her reasoning, it most likely didn't have any old relics about it. Her mother was often traveling to different places to identify bones and artifacts, something Athanasia found extremely interesting. Bones, in particular, were interesting and the man she had assumed was her father had argued long and hard with her mother that a little girl should not be around such things. Well, she had been and it hadn't done any damage to her. In fact, since finding out she was a child of the God of the Underworld and thus a God of the Dead, though not Death itself, her interest in bones seemed to have been a thing that was natural. Shame the senile, old oaf didn't know that! It would have shut him up quickly!

But then again maybe he did know? Was that why he and her mother had fought all the time and why he was so cold towards her? Not that she really cared. Her only care towards him was proving him wrong and showing him up. Perhaps it was a foolish thing to do, but hey, she was merely ten. Perhaps the fact her mother was having a baby would mellow out the man. Perhaps not. Her thoughts were derailed a lightening flashed making the pale girl pause in her steps. "Lightening? Was that Andy's power?" She wondered to Alannah, curiously. "Oh, la! I wish I could be as flashy." Nevermind she dressed just as flashy at times.

Leda grinned wickedly, seeing that Mona used her powers so confidently to make Annabelle fall in love with her. It was epic - but also worrisome. She didn't like the hypothetical that a daughter of Aphrodite could do that to her - she'd much rather get into a consensual relationship with them rather than a forced one. Still though, moral problems aside, it was pretty damn epic. "Better hope she doesn't hex you for that later, luv," Leda advised Mona. She didn't let on that she was grateful when Kiera mentioned that she didn't need to be carried back - her arms were pretty sore. While she could travel at super fast speeds, it didn't give her amazing upper body strength. All of her muscle and stamina pretty much went to her legs.

"It was way too easy this week to win," Leda mused. Still though, it wasn't surprising that the Athena Team had essentially easily beaten the Ares Team. The Hermes kids hadn't made any effort to stop the Iris speedsters as far as she could tell and with Mona's easy control over love, they managed to take out just about the only person guarding the flag. It shocked her that the Ares team hadn't thought of putting someone with Annabelle - but then again, thinking wasn't the strong suit of Ares' kids.

Andy nodded at Eva's direction. She knew Arthur and didn't really want to hurt him, so she privately hoped her lightning wouldn't do any severe damage. She pulled up a charge and sent it to Arthur and apparently got her wish. He seemed shocked but not hurt, heck as far as she could tell he seemed unbothered by the shock. She frowned and tried again. This time missing him wildly. Andy took a deep breath and focused trying to aim carefully for the third shot. It hit Arthur but again he seemed unbothered by it. Were Hade's kids randomly immune to electricity? Or was Andy just that incapable. At least she had warned Marygold and Eva her power wasn't super reliable.

Angry now at her failures Andy let the fourth blast out. This one hit Arthur and at least seemed to bother him. It didn't incapacitate him or knock him down though. She grumbled to herself. Angry at herself, and a little bit at her 'father' for the seemingly useless power. A lot of resentment she had been harboring started to boil now that she had someone to direct it at. A part of her was thankful she didn't really hurt Arthur though, and she was tempted to shout from the tree an apology, but she felt it would be better to do that properly in person after the game was over.

The girl sat quietly as she contemplated what the oracle had said about the whole not being able to control the prophecy thing. That seemed to be a little bit odd that you could really dictate when your own abilities suddenly activated. That would be super inconvenient in most circumstances! She certainly couldn't imagine how it would be if she went around her daily life then was suddenly casting magic all over the place. Gods. She could already hear about the expulsion and jail time she would get if she accidentally threw a fireball in the middle of history class, no matter how boring the teacher was when he spoke. Still, the ability to see the future seemed a tad bit less explosive and dangerous than throwing fireballs at your history teacher. So she supposed that having something like that come whenever it decided to do so wouldn't be really all that bad. Unless it was spoiling the ending to some TV show or another, then that would be just plain shitty of those abilities.

"So like, do you suddenly just start calling out the answers to your math test you're taking in school?" Jade blurted out suddenly towards Rosie, as her mind was still occupied with its previous line of thought. "Or do you have, like, the cliffhanger ending to whatever show you're watching suddenly implanted in your brain!?" She said, both questions coming out before the girl would really get a chance to answer it. Jade seemed to be a bit excited by the idea of being able to see into the future, if her reactions and questions were anything for one to judge by. "I can't imagine blurting out spoilers would make people terribly happy to watch shows or movies with you! Oh dear, that must just be outright awful to deal with!" She said, before realizing she had made a massive assumption about the girl's abilities, and her cheeks colored deeply. "Uhhhh, that is... if that is what happens with you. It totally could be like, not what happens as well! I don't know these things!" She said quickly, trying to backpedal on her assumptions about Rosie.

A lot of things happened very quickly, and very painfully. As Kristin was grappled, he was electrocuted, and he did not like that one bit. Taking a knee from the pain, another spark zoomed past his head, lucky for him. As he stood, he watched another bolt glade towards him, and locked eyes the demigod attacking him, shrugging off the bolt like it was nothing. "If you throw another lightning bolt at me." He said, drawing up his shield, with and even tone in his voice, "I'm gonna have to stop being nice." It was at that point the forth both came and he winced in pain. "Fine. Mean it is then." He said, staggering forward.

With that, he ran to the tree housing Andy, and tried something he'd never done before; climbing it. This was hilarious to watch. The twelve year old hugged the tree, and flailed his arms against it with confidence. However, confidence aside, he fell on his back, unable to get up the tree. Huffing, he glared up at her, stood up, and tried harder. Effort seemed to be the missing ingredient, as he found his way up the tree this time, breathing heavily as he did so. On the same level with Andy, he smiled and said, "Hello, My name is Arthur. I'd very much like it if you stopped that." He was being playful, knowing the lighting wasn't meant to offend, and that this was all part of a game. Still, there was only so much electricity a boy could take.

Mona merely shrugged off the suggestion. "Far as I'm concerned I used what was in my wheelhouse. If she didn't like it, she shouldn't have joined the game. Let's take this back quickly then." She got down and waited for whoever would join her in ensuring the flag got back to their side.

Though the girl's words made sense. It was too easy. She expected more resistance than just one girl with magic. She would have to keep an eye out ahead then if she wanted to keep the flag. She was slowly getting a handle on her abilities and what she could do. It was a lot more fun than she expected and she kind of didn't want it to end so soon. But she also hated the outdoors so the sooner it was over, the sooner she could go do something else, preferably inside.

Camp Half-Blood:

Annabelle seemed to start to come out of suddenly being love struck by Mona, though she was still confused at the moment, Leda would still feel a bit winded from having to baby carry Kiera all around the playing field, but she is (able to move 4 grids whichever way you want) before getting winded again. Tammy quickly followed after Mona seeing as they were about to win the game, she smiled and looked over towards her for a moment. "If ya want I can give you a ride back or something if you choose to." Tammy offered, there were two Ares kids though in the area. They looked at each other for a moment seeing they were outnumbered by two more, but they got ready to get into a fighting stance regardless.

"They say my eyes glow green and this green mist surrounds me whenever I spout out a prophecy, but no it's mostly for quests and stuff nothing like tests or any other mundane things." Rosie said as she looked up at the little screen of the game seeing that the Athena kids were about to win pretty soon. "It looks like the Ares kids are losing again." Theresa said with a slight shrug she always knew that the Athena kids were a lot more smarter. "I think you will like it here though." Rosie said as she took another bite out of her dinner and leaned back.

Alannah looked towards Ash and nodded at her slightly. "Yeah it's pretty much where Hollywood is and all the big stars are pretty much. Just a few hours drive from San Francisco where we have the Roman camp to." Alannah said as she stopped for a moment and looked over towards the trees. She spotted the three Ares kids and Jace there who seemed to have been coming out of a daze as well, looking over towards Ash. "I see three Ares kids close by." She said softly towards her.

Bryan ran over and helped Zeke out and knocked down the Athena kid and continued to move forward, but Zeke would be face to face with another Athena camper, who was there scouting out around. They both could see the flag was pretty close now as well. Bryan quickly took out his bow and fired an arrow at the Athena kid's feet, which would let out a nasty stench, quickly pulling Zeke away as the Athena kid would pass out from the smell. "There you go bro." Bryan said gesturing to the flag that was just a couple yards away now.

Somewhere Just Outside of Kansas City: 6:50PM

Jackson just rolled his eyes a bit towards Aster crossing his arms over his chest and muttered something under his breath about being attached to him for this quest. Angie seemed to perk up a little bit at the sparing match looking over at Jackson for a moment and gave him a slight nudge. "It would be fun to see." Angie said while staring at Aster for a moment and stretched out slightly as she finished up eating her fish.

"Sure why not, grab your weapon then." Jackson said as he got up and grabbed his weapon and then walked a little bit away from the camp, while looking over at Demetri. "You can do the first attack if you want." Jackson said as he got into a fighing stance and smirked a little bit he did really enjoy sparing as well to. "Aster why not join in since it was your suggestion to, unless you are chicken." Jackson taunted.

Kiera started to follow the others now as well, though she was pretty far from the water now and she couldn't really get a good control over it right now. She got into a fighting stance as she pulled out her two swords again from her necklace she was still really enjoying the two weapons right now. As she spotted the one next to Theresa and then the one further down from her as well and decided to go for the closest one. She managed to stumble the guy and then looked over at Thresa, she smirked a little bit as she decided to Charmspeak the guy. "Drop your weapon and go check on Annabelle there." She said, as she watched the Ares camper going back over towards the flag.

"That's really cool." Kiera said with a smile as she watched the ares kid that was there, then suddenly drop his weapon seeing that he was really outnumbered now. Thresa gave Kiera a slight smile and patted Kiera on the back. "Thanks." She said as she started to walk over towards Mona and Tammy. "I would take the offer, though you may get a bit dizzy from the speed." Kiera said as she walked over to them as well.

While Eva was more concentrating on Kristin she was hacking away at the vines that were being wrapped around her legs, groaning in frustration. Kristin watched Arthur as he started to try and climb the tree, though the first one made him fall on his ass, the second attempt was more successful though. Kristin eventually made it free now and ran over towards her fellow camper and started to hack away at the vines wrapping around him. "Almost there." Kristin said as she was doing her best to get him free,

Eva jumped slightly as she turned to see Arthur right there close to Andy surprised that he had even climbed up there in the first place, quickly holding out her arms. Vines quickly shot out from the tree and wrapped around Arthur and pulled him away from Andy, smirking slightly looking at him for a moment as he was dangled upside down line a piñata. "Nice try." Eva said smiling towards Arthur.

Demetri thought for a moment as he slowly side stepped in front of Jackson, trying to think of the best plan of attack. Ok. Kid of Ares, god of war but not in the tactical sense. Theoretically an impulsive meat head who may not rely on strategy if he is anything like his father. Shapeshifting may be my best bet, throwing him off with different forms making it harder for him and possibly confusing him. Perfect. Demetri smiled a bit as he ran towards Jackson, leaping up into the air and attempting to shift into a Kangaroo to box kick him away. Unfortunately his powers decided they didn’t feel like working, so he managed to jump up and kick beside Jackson, sliding into the dirt as he pretended that it was all part of his plan of attack, a feint attack. Second times the charm right?

Demetri sprung into action once more, trying the same move and having his powers fail him a second time in a row, he however was now anticipating this and leaned into his normal strength to kick Jackson in the chest, staggering him a bit as Demetri snapped his fingers and his dagger sprung to life in his hand. ”This should be fun, but I do have a question while this is all going on. Typically when I stab a monster with my knife they turn into dust, that wont happen to you if i stab you right? Cuz I’m not up to adding Demi-god murder to my list of things I did today.” Demetri wasn’t fully aware on how to fight, but he did know how to be evasive, mimicking movies in which the defender bounced on the balls of their feet with his dagger held backwards in front of him as if he was some sort of Ninja with a Kunai.

“Solid round of originality.” Aster clapped sarcastically at the taunt. Aries kids weren’t known for their creativity outside the pit but Jackson was too much. Chicken, really? Aster was almost insulted with how little effort Jackson seemed to be putting into these. “But I think I’ll sit out. While you can only improve on hideous, Aster shot Jackson a pointed look. “I won’t have my complexion scarred over a silly sparring match. It’s much more fun to watch a wild card match than participate in one anyways.” Aster laughed, turning to watch. He hoped the newbie kicked Jackson’s ass. At the very least, it might save Aster the trouble of his counter plan in the event Jackson really did try something. Maybe if he suffered a humiliating defeat, some of that annoyance wouldn’t be directed at him anymore.

Aster grimaced as Demteri practically threw himself to the ground. Another reason he had no interest in hand to hand combat: dirt. He could appreciate how people might find it an attractive look. Sweat and dirt caked on someone working hard and all that nonsense but Aster had zero interest in being the one covered in it. Anyone who loved themselves would feel the same way and Aster didn’t spend hours a week on skin care routines to mess it all up. Sure, he could glamour it away but what if he forgot or it didn’t come out the way he wanted? If it all fell away and he was left looking like a mess? That was humiliation he couldn’t stand. That’s why he was so meticulous about it. He wouldn’t be caught dead as anything less than perfect.

“Come on, less asking, more stabbing! You won’t know until you try!” Aster replied in a happy singsong voice, neglecting to answer the question. Let Demetri be a little nervous; it was all just good fun anyways. For Aster at least.

Ezekiel grinned and clapped his half-brother on the back. ”Much obliged brother.” He looked over at the distant flag and smiled. ”Fight’s not over yet. Let’s get after it.” They didn’t get to far and came across another two Athena kids. Damn. They should have picked a better direction. Ezekiel noticed quite a bit of sunlight in this area and decided to use it to his advantage. He lifted his hand and twisted, bending the sunlight to hit one of the demigods eyes in order to blind. He missed the first time, overshooting but once he got the light to redirected he managed to slightly disorient one of them.
Ezekiel set his eyes on the flag. They were close now but that meant the better, stronger kids would be nearby as well. Ezekiel notched a couple of arrows and drew his bow back, scanning the area as he started to walk slowly forward. Bryan was in battle with the other kid but he trusted him all the same to have his back when he got there. If Ezekiel and Bryan had just made it to the flag, that should mean Athena’s scouts were close as well, if not already there and on their way back. Athena’s team had a habit of winning a lot.

She shrugged at Mona's comments about how Annabelle knew what she signed up for. Sure, that was the case but they were teenagers with outrageous abilities - that didn't mean they were more mature than most of those their age. Grudges could get formed over the smallest things, especially when love magic was involved. "Alrighty then," Leda commented, before she took off at a run. She was feeling a bit winded, but still fast enough that she managed to cross over the surface of the river, kicking up a fine mist behind her. She kept on running, trying to get back to Athena lines. All of the speeding around was beginning to take a toll on her and besides, they had just about won anyways. She imagined Tammy would pick up Mona and maybe Kiera as well and transport them back to the Athena lines.

She skidded to a halt not too far from the Athena lines, panting profusely. It felt like her lungs were on fire as she bent over, gripping her knees in an attempt to catch her breath. "Bloody hell..." Leda muttered, only to instantly regret it as just talking was taking a lot out of her. She really needed to work on being able to sustain her speed for longer periods of time. Most of the media she had seen surrounding speedsters was all about whether or not they could get faster - whereas Leda was mostly concerned with stamina. She knew that she would be able to get faster if she wanted to - she just wanted to be able to keep going at that speed for more than just a second or two.

Roman camp? Athanasia raised a pale brow frowning slightly. "How many camps are there?" The child wondered as she tapped the grumbling skull's nogging in thought. It was a curious thing and led the youngest child of Hades down a path with more questions than answers. For Athanasia such a thing was fun for her. She liked having questions and getting answers, but there was a certain level of unknown it was nest to avoid.

And she had walked right into it. Peering up ahead as Alannah pointed out the Ares campers. One a tall, older looking teen in particular. "I don't know what help I might be against them." Athanasia admitted as she shifted back and forth on her feet nervously. She wasn't much of a fighter, nor was she much of anything in comparison to those kids who came here to train. Her brows knitted together at that particular thought. Sure she was smaller, never using her supposed powers and lacking the experience of the others about her. Given she was ten this was reasonable, but to Athanasia it was a line to herself. Turning her dark gaze down towards the ground, the young girl tapped it with a foot. "Come and join me, please, its all rather interesting up here." She cajoled to the fallen and the dead. Urging some to heed her and come as her friends in their resting places of marble and stone did.

Athanasia was not disappointed when a skeletone tore free from the earth. Of course it was missing an arm but given she hadn't done anything like this before. It wasn't too bad. Nodding in approval, she gave a cheery smile to Alannah."Oh, la! I did it!" She clapped her hands softly together looking pleased as she could with the skeleton, despite having no idea what to do with it next.

---

Mary smirked slightly as Eva tied up Arthur with vines. "He makes a lovely pinata doesn't he?" she said with a slight laugh, before turning her attention back towards Kirsten and the other Athena camper. Now Kirsten was trying to free the kid that she had just spent some time tying up with vines, and that wouldn't do at all. It was more annoying than anything, so all she really needed to do was to see about fixing that problem and just tying them both up!

"This just won't do at all," Mary said with a slight laugh, before she waved her hands and vines shot up from the ground going towards Kirsten and the other camper. The vines started wrapping around Kirsten, tying her up somewhat tightly, to the point where she wasn't going to probably get free any time soon. She then sent vines wrapping around the other camper, tying up his legs, before she turned to look at Eva. "So, any ideas on what to do now?"

---

Andy was startled by Arthur climbing the tree. Her eyes went wide but she grinned at what he said. "Well stop trying to steal our flag then." She said as Eva wrapped him up in vines. There wasn't any point in her trying to shock him now. She turned her head upside down to see him the right way up. "You okay there Arthur? Though if you try to escape I'll zap you again, maybe make your hair curly."

She was glad it didn't look like she had hurt him at all with her lightning, though she definitely wished she had more control over it. Andy wondered if there was a place in the camp that she could practice without putting people in danger. A part of her really wished she had a sibling too. The cabin was just so empty feeling. Arthur was lucky that he had Ash and they already had rapport with each other too.

---

The girl sat silent for a long few moments as she contemplated the Oracle's words on what happened when she saw the future. Her mind focusing on the part where the girl seemed to state that she didn't particularly remember what she said, or happened. Given that she said she was told by others that things occurred. "So does it just like, take over and you can't remember anything that is said? That's kinda... sucky." Jade said after a bit more pondering before her attention was once more grabbed by Rosie talking about the game or liking the camp.

She gave an awkward little smile towards the direction of Rosie's voice, shrugging her shoulders a little. "Are they? I can't tell, the screen isn't giving me a play-by-play that I can hear." She said with a small chuckle, trying to keep the conversation light-hearted. "Its a little strange to accept everything happening at this camp, but I think I might like it. Though I need to know, are all the Greek Gods actually like... genetically related? Because what if some really nice guy is at this camp does that mean I like... can't date him? This is very important to me."

---

---

Before Mona could respond to Theresa, two Ares kids lay in front of them. Judging by their looks, they knew they were outnumbered and overpowered, but they still stood ready to face them. Mona had to give them credit. Facing what looks to be an unwinnable fight and still hoping to win.

But she wanted to win this now. So she summoned vines and tied the two kids up in them. It wouldn't be dangerous, but it would hopefully hold them for a while. "There, that should hold them. As for a ride, I wouldn't say no to one. Quick as you like too. We can win this provided the other team hasn't nabbed the flag and is on their way back."

Mona would wait for Theresa to lead now, using whatever method she had planned.

Camp Half-Blood:

Bryan looked towards Zeke and smiled towards his brother giving him a thumbs up. "No problem." He said as he watched Zeke disorient the two Athena kids. He decided to go in for the knock out hitting them in the back of the head, knocking them onto the ground, seeing that the flag was now within their grasp. "So close now we can win it." Bryan said, as he started to walk forward some more cracking his neck a little bit as they moved forward, they both would notice the streak of rainbow in the distance.

Leda would be able to see an Athena camper close by looking like he was on guard duty, but she if she looked around she would be able to notice both Bryan and Zeke just close to the treeline that was pretty close to their flag. Though there wasn't anything else of interest other then the ones that are watching over the flag as well.

Alannah looked over towards Ash as she started to summon a skeleton and smiled slightly towards her gently patting the girl on the back. "Good job, and just Camp Jupiter as far as I know." Alannah said as she looked at the Ares campers who weren't noticing them yet either and motioned towards them and seeing that they had a skeleton on their side would be pretty helpful now as well and smiled towards her. "Well why not order it to attack them? We still have the element of surprise you know." Alannah said towards Ash, she wanted to have Ash learn how to use her abilities more as well.

Rosie shook her head, she knew enough of Greek myths that some gods were blood related to one another, and some of the stories were always pretty weird to her at times as well. "Nah, aside from your cabin mates you aren't related to anyone else that isn't within your cabin that's where the blood relationship ends really." Rosie answered as she leaned back and took another bite out of her dinner as she watched more of the game some more with interest.

Somewhere Just Outside of Kansas City: 7:10PM

Jackson rolled his eyes towards Aster the kid was being a lazy little bitch in his opinion and he really didn't like the child of Aphrodite at all, even Thresa was more helpful then he was. Once Demetri was finished it was Jackson's turn as he ran forward and feinted a punch and instead of that he went for a kick, knocking him down on his ass a bit. Jackson smirked a little bit as he backed up a bit letting Demetri back up again.

"Well it's celestial bronze it is still very deadly to us, we wont dust away like a Thanos snap or anything." Angie answered as she leaned back as she was fiddling with something from her toolbelt while looking between the three boys being the only girl in the group she was finding it entertaining to watch them a bit. "Whoever wins i'll give you the last remaining drachma sound good?" Angie said.

Kiera watched as Mona was successful with binding the Ares kid's hands together, they were both giving the group death glares, and were muttering something to themselves mostly. "Well that was pretty easy if you ask me." Kiera said towards Mona and gave her a thumbs up and smiled a little bit. She was about to get ready to move forward before Tammy spoke up and smiled even more she was more then ready to wrap up this game now. "Of course, just don't puke on me or anything." Tammy said.

As she cracked her fingers a bit and then picked up Mona like a sack of potatos and ran off dropping her off just a few feet away from the flag Mona would feel like she had just been on the fasted roller coaster in the world and really dizzy afterward. Kiera watched as Tammy had disappeared and then came back to her, picking up Kiera the same way as she did with Mona, and dropped off right next to Mona. Kiera felt dizzy but she didn't feel like puking as she leaned forward a bit looking over at her. "A little warning next time.." Kiera said looking over at the flag now they were so close to winning now.

Kristin was struggling to try and get free from the binds, but she was pretty much not able to now at this point as the vines kept her pretty well secured at this point. The Athena boy though was slowly getting free again taking out a knife and slowly trying to cut away from the vines one by one. Kristin turned to look up at the tree seeing the three of them up there rolling her eyes slightly it was a good plan surprisingly.

"So really not cool Mary." Kristin said as Eva laughed a little bit and gently nudged the Arthur piñata a little bit, satisfied with her handy work. "Don't worry i'll let you out once the game is over." Eva said as she leaned back a bit and smiled towards Andy holding up her hand towards her for a high five. "You did great by the way." Eva said towards her.

---

---

There was one teammate currently guarding their flag and while she knew that Tammy and the rest would be over with the Ares flag shortly, she didn't want to put anything to chance. She was too tired to keep on running and knowing Zeke, he would just put his leg out to try to trip her anyways like the little jerk he was. Gods, she hated the son of Apollo - it was bad enough that she had been forced to go on a quest with him ages ago! Some demigods became incredibly close on quests, yet that could not have been further from the case of what had happened with Kirstin, Leda, and Zeke.

She took a breath and her hands started to glow, as if her skin was made out of rainbow light. She sent a blast off at the two Ares team members, but it missed and just hit a tree. "That was a warning shot, bozos!" Leda boasted. She sent another blast, slamming into Bryan. She had mostly closed the distance between them and she sent off a third blast of rainbow light, narrowly missing Zeke yet again. Her aim was proving to be horrible today, probably from all of the energy she had spent carrying Kiera around as they ran across the field. "You might as well give up, we've almost got your flag back to our lines."

---

---

Arthur squirmed as the vines wrapped around him, and laughed a bit as he soon found himself stuck, upside down. It was a little humiliating, but who would he be if he couldn't laugh at himself? As she struggled, he found himself thinking about what he could do to actually get out of this, not one to give up so quickly. Writhing, he managed to slip out, and land on the branch without falling down. Staggering up with a smile, he said, "That'd be no fun for you either, playing with no opponent would be boring." At that point, he knew another zap was coming if he didn't do something, so he did.

"I like my hair the way it is though, thanks." He then placed an arm on Andy's shoulder saying, "See you on the ground!" and gave her a shove off the branch, sending her falling to the ground. Dangling his feet from the branch, he looked down at the people. He was sure Eva was gonna try to wrap him up again, but he got out pretty easily, so he wasn't concerned with that. He hoped Andy was fine, not wanting to have actually hurt her. He did call down, "Are you alright?" watching to make sure she could get up without issue.
