Fight day

Percy POV:

I was heading towards the Hunter's training ground for my duel with the three hunters.

I was not at all worried about Phoebe. The only ones I was wary of were Thalia and Zoë. I had fought with Thalia once before, but it was with powers and we got stopped before it could get serious, as for Zoё I knew she was the daughter of Atlas and had been training for 3000 years.

Shaking my head, I cleared it of it's thoughts and started to stretch my arms and warm up for the upcoming duels. I had decided that I would be using my newly acquired shapeshifting weapons. As I reached the arena, I saw that the whole hunt had gathered there for the duel. As I had expected, Zoë, Phoebe and Thalia were standing inside the duel arena that had been marked by the hunters.

Lady Artemis was sitting in a small throne that had been placed beside the arena. The hunters were seated beside their mistress. All of them apart from Tracy, Bianca, Thalia and oddly Zoё were glaring at me. I pointedly chose to ignore these glares.

But I did notice that the glares from the five hunters that had tried to injure me in the morning were not complete. Their eyes held fear towards me. This gave me a sense of satisfaction. The satisfaction that you get when you know your opponent is scared of you.

I entered the arena and took out my two weapons, and willed one to become a beautifully decorated platinum sword, that fit my hand even better than riptide, and the other a set of throwing knives.

I could now see that even Zoë Nightshade was a bit intimidated by my weaponry.

Lady Artemis stood up and walked inside the arena.

I bowed before her and so did the hunters. She had now released her complete aura of power, which was weighing down on us as of now. "Welcome hunters. Today, we shall experience a duel between the three of our best hunters and Perseus. The conditions that have been set up by both the parties is that shall Perseus defeat the three huntresses, the hunt will not be allowed to prank him for the rest of his stay. But shall he lose to any of his three opponents, the hunt is free to prank him and treat him as such."

The crowd seemed to be excited at the prospect of pranking me and making me do their chores. They were completely confident that I would not last against their lieutenant.

Then, lady Artemis turned to us. "The first fight shall be between Perseus, son of Poseidon and Champion of Chaos; and Thalia, daughter of Zeus."

Zoë and Phoebe stepped out of the arena and Thalia took out her bow and quiver.

Seeing that we were ready, lady Artemis announced, "I shall be the referee for this fight. No usage of powers. This will be a duel based on purely battle prowess. No killing or maiming is allowed in the battle. The first one to surrender or fall unconscious loses. To my left, stands Thalia, daughter of Zeus." There was a large cheer for their sister by the hunters.
