I'm rambling, aren't I? You don't wanna listen to me talk, you wanna read! So, here's chapter 9 ...

Chapter 9: Play Fighting and a Figure - Percy's POV

Once I'd finished chasing Clarisse and Luke around Camp for not helping when the Chaos warriors jumped on me, we went down to the beach and traded stories.

Luke told us about his conversation with Poseidon, and I told them about my dream of Destruction.

'The whole point was to kill me,' I said glumly.

'But it didn't succeed,' Luke pointed out while Clarisse nodded.

I smiled gratefully and we all looked out at the ocean, the suns rays making the surface dance and sparkle like diamonds. We stayed there for some time. I did notice that Luke and Clarisse sat rather close together, and I chuckled too soft for them to hear.

Then we heard some running towards us over the sand dunes. I unsheathed Current, Clarrise grabbed her sword and Luke pointed his knife at the intruder.

They stumbled over the hill; Leo.

We all gave a sigh of relief while Leo bent double, panting.

'Meeting ... sword arena ... Chiron,' he puffed.

Without another word, we took off for the Sword Arena with Leo trailing behind. We walked in and sat down next to Annabeth and Chiron.

'-don't know when they'll attack again,'' Chiron was saying, 'We're still not sure how or why they attacked so fast.'

'To kill me,' I interrupted bluntly, 'They wanted to kill me.'

All heads turned to me. I stood up a little straighter and told them about my dream.

'So the whole point of that attack,' I finished, 'was to get me out of the picture.'

'How do we know you're not tricking us?'

Typically, that came from Xavier. He stood up on the other side of the arena. He glared at me from a distance and I held his gaze. He continued being an idiot.

'How do we know that you're not actually the enemy?'

'And why,' my voice was dangerously calm, 'would we be here if we were the enemy?'

'As spies,' he spat, 'You're all no good as fighters so they used you as spies. Even if you weren't, you're still pathetic fighters. Chaos' most expendable division. I could beat all of you. I would be such a better Commander.'

I took a deep, silent breath to control my anger. I had gotten better at that,  since the last time I almost blew up a planet.

Around me, I could feel my warriors stir. Some took out their weapons, but I held up my hand and they sheathed them.
