Thank you to @CerseiLannister13510 for helping me complete this, I would have died and failed the project if it wasn't for her.  This story was purely for my fried to see it, it was a school project.

-------------------------------------------------------

Sparks flew off of the blades as their wielders jumped, swirled, and danced around trying to get the advantage of the other, the sand of the training arena flew up around them. The daughter of Nike was holding her own against her older half-brother, she had arrived at Camp a few months ago and was starting to get good.

The other campers of the advanced class were watching the pair duel, all of them were covered in sweat from dueling before.

I looked around the training arena, the sloped stone walls lead the way to the sand of the arena, in the distance I could see the cabins and I could almost see the archery range.

I just realized that the duel had ended with Aindrea's sword to his half-sister's throat, I nodded to them and then told everyone to go get cleaned up. The demigods started heading out of the east exit of the arena.

I was so lucky that my father Chiron, trainer of heroes, and the leader of Camp Half-Blood, had let me teach the advanced class.

Camp Half-Blood was the only safe place for demigods, half-human/mortal, half-god. They lived at camp until they were old enough to hold their own in the mortal world or stay at camp until they died.

I turned around and instead of following the campers I went out the west exit and lopped into the forest. When I arrived at my favorite spot, the sun was just about touching the water, I breathed in the sea's scent and the forest's scent.

The waves gently crashed against the cliff below me, to my left it wasn't so steep and at the bottom, there was a small beach, and to my right was a mid-sized waterfall that tumbled into the sea with a small sheet of rock that ran just in front of it.

I three-sixtyed around and jumped down to the waterfall using some ledges, some made of tree root or stone, when I jumped onto the rock the light of the sun was just right so that I could see my reflection on the waterfall.

My human part had dark auburn hair that tumbled down my left shoulder in a loose braid, my blue-violet eyes sparkled, and my skin had a healthy tan as always centaurs were known to be beautiful but even for a centaur I was pretty, my horse part was the same color as my hair, where most centaurs were more heavily built, I was more delicate and tall, as the horses from Arabia.

Suddenly I heard the bell strike twice in a row signaling a meeting for the camp leaders and camper counsels, I whirled around and leaped back up the cliff, and raced home.

When I arrived at the meeting house, my father and all the cabin counselors we all standing around the round wooden table in the center of the room. The meeting room was attached to the Main house where my father lived. The building has an open area with a stone floor, the roof was made out of wood and it was decorated with swirls and small carvings.

The counselor of the Dionysus cabin nodded to me as I trotted in. My father, Chiron, looked up from some parchment on the table as I walked in. He was the leader of Camp and very well respected, he was big for a centaur, he had curly brown hair, a beard, and a strong facial structure. His horse part was the same color as his hair.

You see, all centaurs have the ability to turn into a human or a horse, It takes a huge amount of training and discipline to master it, and my father could turn into his horse form. But where he could turn into a horse I could turn into a human, well not exactly a human, I mean I looked like a human but I still was stranger and faster than most humans.
