I thought of my oath and again wondered if I had made the right choice. Zoë was right in one regard: the campers would panic. But then again, everybody had a right to know what they were facing. Now most of the Hunters knew, actually I take that back, all of the Hunters knew, and we were training as best we could for the upcoming war. Over a timeframe of two days we had travelled to Camp Half-Blood from California. Roughly ten of us were training the campers who were into archery, Percy was overseeing the sword fighters and Annabeth and Zoë were teaching the campers with knives. The rest of the Hunters were teaching their area of expertise in weapons or showing the little kids basic thrusts and jabs to keep them alive on a battlefield. I was teaching the little kids, as there was already a bunch of us on archery and knives. Thalia was doing spears with Clarisse La Rue, and Will Solace was doing archery with us. After three weeks Artemis and Chiron were comfortable with the level the campers were on and made the training less intense, like only ten laps around camp instead of fifteen, or only thirty press ups instead of forty. Some campers who really wanted to excel in their choice of weapon continued with the same training, but other than that, everyone else finished at four o'clock rather than six o'clock.
