Odyssa sat atop one of the taller trees on the campground. She had her bow and arrow out, occasionally pinning down the opposing team. She had to be careful to to actually injure them, after all, she didn't want to lose desert privileges.
"Odyssa's here! Scatter!" One of the Ares kids yelled. Odyssa smirked, this was going to be so much more interesting.
The girl moved like a shadow through the treetops, her every step deliberate and silent. High above the forest floor, where the leaves were thickest and the branches strong. Her bow rested lightly in her hand, its string taut with the promise of violence.
"Up there!" Someone yelled as she shot an arrow and managed to pin someone down by their shirt onto a tree.
Odyssa crouched, blending into the foliage, her breathing so slow it was almost nonexistent. She notched an arrow, her fingers steady, feeling the familiar texture of the feather fletching.
"She went with Annabeth, I thought she wouldn't be here!"
"Well you thought wrong!"
Fwip! Another arrow shot through and pinned another kid to another tree.
One of the Ares kids raised their head, eyes scanning the forest around it. In a single, fluid motion, she rose to a standing position on the narrow branch, her balance impeccable. She drew the string back, feeling the tension build in her arms, but her focus was on the target
Then, with the grace of a falling leaf, she released.
The arrow flew true, slicing through the air with deadly precision. It struck the Ares kid right by the pants leg, a perfect shot. The kid lurched, legs buckling beneath them as they crashed to the ground.
The girl watched from above, her expression unreadable. "We yield! We yield!" The kid yelled and Odyssa smirked as she descended from the trees. When her feet touched the ground, she approached the fallen Ares team, clutching her bow.
"That was fun, we should do it again." She flicked her hand and the bows disintegrated. "You're out, better luck next time." Odyssa grinned.
"Dessa! The plan!" Annabeth yelled, still invisible. Odyssa nodded, clipped her bow behind her back as she ran through the woods. Hopefully with Percy out there, Clarisse would be too distracted to notice the flag. It sounded bad, but they were using him as bait...
She ran through the woods, weaving and jumping over roots and stray tree branches before hearing a loud yell sounding like Clarisse's voice "NOOO!"
It was a war-cry, one of pain and shock. It worried Odyssa so she quickly sneaked through, taking a short cut to the direction of where the yell was to see Percy holding the other half of Clarisse's spear.
Clarisse grabbed Percy by the leather chest plate before a loud conch blew through the air. Odyssa smiled as she spotted Luke and everyone else carrying the flag, placing it onto the sandy shore.
Clarisse glared at the victorious team before shoving Percy and walking off. Odyssa whispered, "Fengári." She whispered and the bow and arrow turned back into her silver chain.
She clasped the necklace onto her as she walked out of her hiding spot to meet Percy, "Pretty impressive, Perce." Odyssa held out her hand for Percy to take.
"Not bad, hero." Annabeth revealed herself with a small smile. Percy breathed heavily, taking Odyssa's hand.
"Were you there the whole time?" He asked.
"Yes." Annabeth said bluntly.
"You were here the whole time and you didn't help me?"
"Yes."
