Delphia was sleeping in a tree above the water of camp half blood. Delphia was never really known or seen at the camp thanks to her trying to to ever be seen. she slept peacefully her hair fallen over her pale face as she felt the warm sunshine on her face. She smiled gently as she opened her eyes gently and yawning sat up from her perch. She didn't have a cabin or she never wanted to be in one thanks to her past she didn’t like being trapped inside buildings it made her skittish. She opened her blue eyes that sparkled in the morning glow of the Sky the colors amazing to her eyes. She stretched out and yawns deeply thinking to herself. She walked back slowly to the base of the tree grinning gently and humming softly she went to the shore feeling the wet sand on her feet. she smiled but walked around the beach area humming to herself. her black cloak flows behind her in rippling golden and black colors. Delphia turned to the water smiling gently “I hope your proud” she said speaking to the air, to her mother if she could ever see her again. She shut her eyes and relaxed on a tree humming gently to herself letting the sun touch her pale skin.
It was early in the morning, most of the campers would either be sleeping or just now arising. But not Adrian, he was always one of the first up in the morning, and had been up for hours as he was standing on the beach, surrounded by a group of 10 other students, all having wooden weapons. Adrain himself was unarmed and wearing only a pair of swim trunks, with out a shirt on his muscular physique on display as well as this tattoo covered arms, chest, and upper back. His body shined with sweat as he had been up for several hours working out until it was time for the morning training with his team, mostly them trying new ways to beat him in a fight. He never told them how many people to bring, what weapons to use or anything but instead wanted them to think for themselves. Now his eyes scanned and sized up the fight as he looked over at the group of campers with with there training weapons and leather armor vest. He splayed his arms out waving his fingers to say "come at me" before hunching over and raising her fist up and spreading out his bare feet in the sand.
For a few moments he stood there, waiting as they shifted about around him, circling around. They were looking for weaknesses in his stance, which there were seeing as there is no such thing as a perfect stance as they all have some form of weakness. Soon though a boy behind him and to his right charged, holding a staff he moved forward, at least they had learned to stop yelling and signalling every time they are about to attack him, so progress was being made. He brought his staff out in a wide arch, but only the end of it was near Adrian, good he was learning to use the length of that weapon to his advantage he thought. Though he was still a bit slow, Adrain brought his right arm down instead of out right blocking it, he went under and quickly flicked his wrist up. This caused the staff to change how it was moving and it was now moving up as he bent down and it passed harmlessly over head as he rose his right arm up and his left down twisting his body as he was guiding that staff to start to fall down onto the ground. He could of out right blocked it, but every day he changed the style of fighting to keep them on their toes, today he choose wu shu, A form that focuses more on deflecting blows and the transfer of motion. Though he could change his fighting style on the fly for the sake of fairness he sticks to one per day.
As soon as he was coming up from his bent position he looked up too see girl bringing her sword down. He smiled as they were learning to work together well, possibly coming up with there strategy the day before. She was even attacking on the inside of his right arm, and because he was so tall and his arms she choose to prefrom a quick strike instead of just going for the most powerful one she could. He was impressed by this, but not impressed enough as he spun on the heels of his feet, his left hand sweeping across her legs as he stood up and she flipped falling behind him now. As another camper was came at him with a sword, his attack was a little sloppier as it was eacy for Adrian to use his right hand, crossing it over to hit the males right arm before bringing his left foot forward planing it on and using the palms of both hands he hit the males chest sending him flying back a few feet. Just then two came at him at once, on staff and another sword. He reached out and his arm wrapped around the staff as he pined it using his arm and back as he leaned back words that sword flying inches in front over his face. standing back up he kept his feet firmly panted and wide as he grabbed the girls sword arm in a twist much the same way he did that staff and his left let kicked out hitting her in the stomach and knocking her back. soon he pulled back on the staff before jerking it forward hitting the male in the chest, several times before he let go of it. And now Adrian had a weapon. He spun the staff bringing it down holding it half way as it was along his back.
More came at him as he jerked and fought back. Deflecting blows and tossing them around using there own attack, that staff a flurry of motion as it was sliding from one hand to another, knocking blows and attacking at the same time. They managed to land blows on him as well. But in the end he was left standing, a smile on his face as his breathing was a bit heavy and he was surrounded by campers laying in the sand groaning and holding various body parts. None of them were seriously injured, mostly just bruises and a few cuts and scrapes. But they would be sore for a bit. Adrian him self had a couple of bruises on himself as well as he laughed spinning that staff then sticking it into the sand ""Now that was fun! give it a couple more years you guys might finally beat me." he was impressed as one of the males stood up looking over at him "yea but that didn't stop you from kicking our asses" he said as Adrain laughed again still grinning "No, but you were working very well as a unit and your attacks were flowing together nicely." He stated some "But you need to remember, not to attack so wide with staffs, though it is a more power full hit, it takes a long time to reach the opponent giving plenty time to react, as well" He used that staff "see like this" soon he was giving short swats of the staff and little jabs. "you want to keep them shifting, always trying to block the next blow and then" he brought the staff in a wide arch for a more powerful strike "bring on the more powerful hits to break through there deference." He smiled as he stretched out some looking up "I think they are about to get some breakfast, And i'm hungry"
He smiled as they all started walking "oh Sarah, nice move in the beginning, choosing that quick strike instead of going all out, most people would of been done fore...most people" The girl looked at him "yea yea" she stated as Adrian was known to be a little cocky and boastful, though he kept it light for the most part. Soon they were grabbing trays and waiting in line and getting food as Adrian stood out. He was one of the largest campers, as well as the only one so heavily tattooed. Adrian's team was currently one of the top, seeing as they when every combat game, It's the none combat oriented games that teams have a chance at beating them at. But they excel at that, as people either want nothing more then to be on his team, or dread the idea. Sure they got out of camps combat training, but that is because the combat training Adrian gives is much more intense so he uses that time for conditioning, 10 mile runs loaded down with 100lbs of gear, mini triathlons, and all sorts of crazy stuff. But they all looked forward to today, as once a week they spend the normal combat training time having fun, swimming in the lake, playing sports or otherwise relaxing in what ever way they wanted to.
With food in tray he walked to a table sitting down. Though the greatest weakness of Adrain was now on display, mainly table manners. He ate more then most, due to his size and extensive work out regiment and soon he was digging in. A male, Brian, sat next to him and laughed some "Adrian, it's dead you don't have to worry about it running off." he said laughing as Adrain then quickly swallowed "Oh, hunting we should add hunting into training" he said as Sarah sat down rolling her eyes "why are you giving him ideas, now he is going to have us fighting bears with nothing but hand to hand combat." They shared a laugh as Adrian smiled "naa I wouldn't do that...It would be menators" he said smiling almost child like before resuming to make sure none of his food does to decided it doesn't want to be eaten and run off.

Sitting all alone, as was customary and eating some breakfast under a tree, half her attention on the book she was currently reading was the second most feared female in this camp, Alexis Phantomhive. Her black hair hung in a ponytail, some loose strands hanging down over her face and covering her unique eye color of grey, dark blue, and yellow circling the pupil which was called heterochromia. The main reason she was left alone was for one reason only. Her father was Hades. No one would willingly work with her or fight with her. There was of course that Adrien who didn't mind training with her. That confused her on some levels. She had gotten used to isolation and being on her own. Not even supervisors wanted to mess with her or even get close to her. She was currently on another Greek translated book. Her head turned as she heard noises in the breakfast hall signifying the group coming in from practice. She had on a comfortable pair of black pants and a red shirt not even bothering to even consider that she could be asked to do anything. No one ever had before, why start now?
Daniel was deep in the water of the lake in his merman form sleeping under the waves. He found that sleeping under the relatively soundless waters was a whole lot more soothing than having to sleep above.

For one Demigod, the silence and almost inactive camp were boring to him so he was in the lake making powerful waves which he was surfing on everyday as his father Poseidon had taught him how to surf and use his powers to make great waves. The young man had blonde hair and golden blue eyes, he was very tanned and very muscular as well so it made thing more fun.

As Adrian at his food more of his team were joining them. Mostly they were speaking of this and that making conversation as they would all laugh about something or another. Nothing really important. Swallowing the food in his mouth he slammed his fist down on the table "you know I was born in the wrong time" he stated as Sarah laughed "Oh boy not this again" she said as Adrain went on "no really, Could you imagine me in a real war, I would of truly united Greece, even Spartans would fallow me. I would of been a great Greek empire, not roman or Persian bahh" he was pointing his for around as he spoke "Also I would avoided all those stupid wars that were the downfall of empires, 'Oh I love this girl I'm going to start a needless war that gains us nothing'" He had a clear mocking tone as he held his arms out like he was prancing about "I swear love is pointless" he stated before taking a big bite of his breakfast.
Just then Sarah leaned over "Alexis was just looking over here" At that moment Adrian nearly choked on his food coughing some as he quickly swallowed "what, so what she can look where ever she wants it's not a crime" He said as Sarah laughed some "sure thing lover boy" Adrian's cheeks turned a light red color as Sarah and every one laughed "that's it Sarah, 10k during our free time" he said as she smiled still laughing "so worth it to see you blush" she said as he looked at her with playful "i'll kill you" eyes with over exaggerated squinting he got sometimes. Only this made her laugh more as he tossed his arms up "Gahh I give up" he stated "Never mind free time as usual" mostly cause he himself liked free time as much as them.
After all that his eyes did shift over looking to Alexis "you know she would really make a great addition to us" he said as one of his other teamates leaned over "yea...but come on you can't be serious she is the daughter of hades, I mean I know you think she is cute and all bu--"he was suddenly cut off by a very large fist becoming intimate with the side of the face as he fell over flat on his back crying out as Adrian was standing and leaning over the table. "watch your words or i'll rip out your tongue" his tone was flat with the exception of the slight scratching sound of his deep voice the table suddenly got quite, hell the entire food hall got quite as every one looked over to them. The expression on his face was something to be feared. Eyes that seemed to burn with a cold fire as he looked at the boy slowly sitting up holding his face "She is a better fighter then you, and a honorable person. The strong deserve our respect, the weak our protection. Heritage be damned" he said looking out over his team "that goes for all of you, if this simple concept is to much for you then you have to place on MY team" he emphasizing my.
The male slowly stood up "i'm sorry, I didn't mean anything...I was ju-" this time he was cut off by another person grabbing him and holding a hand over his mouth "He was just having a moment of retardation" The man holding him spoke for him before whispering in his ear "Take your lashes and shut up, speaking any more and you will just make things worse for yourself" he said sitting down "You know what fun i'm having for our free time. Water resistance training. Have you ever tried to kick or punch underwater, it's nearly impossible and nothing will leave your body more sore, but the pay off is Eminence as it increases your speed and strength when fighting on ground." He looked over to the male who was still rubbing his face "You will be joining me, and if you can't keep up your off the team" Everyone just sort of looked down as they knew he was off the team as it was hard enough to keep up with Adrian on a good day, nearly impossible when he was angry and working out frustrations, and most would of been surprised if he even bothered to show up.
Adrian stood up grabbing his tray and "I've seemed to have lost my appetite" he said walking off and dumping his food in the trash and putting his tray with a group of others leaving the mess hall. As he did he passed by Alexis, looking over at her a little before walking off to cool off a bit as when he gets worked up and angry he has a tendency of doing things that he would later regret.
Just then Sarah leaned over "Alexis was just looking over here" At that moment Adrian nearly choked on his food coughing some as he quickly swallowed "what, so what she can look where ever she wants it's not a crime" He said as Sarah laughed some "sure thing lover boy" Adrian's cheeks turned a light red color as Sarah and every one laughed "that's it Sarah, 10k during our free time" he said as she smiled still laughing "so worth it to see you blush" she said as he looked at her with playful "i'll kill you" eyes with over exaggerated squinting he got sometimes.
