Sith got up early morning at around 4:00, he lies there staring at the ceiling. Today was the day the day he had to get a quest. Khione wanted Sith to lead Melody into a trap, she wanted to use him, no he wasn't going to let that happen, he would not let an innocent girl into a trap, but either way he was going to get his mother back. Sith gets up from his bed, he freshens up and gets dressed, he opens the door the fresh air filling his lungs. He removes his time table from his pocket, reading through it quickly. It was archery first...then Cabin wars

Shit

He hadn't even allied his cabin yet. He remembered that Demeter cabin were leading with fighters, they had after all acquired the flag twice. But then there was the Apollo cabin, he considered the two options
Hmm, join the Demeter cabin get an easy win, join the Apollo cabin get a good challenge
He grinned at his thoughts, the answer was obvious
Let's get a good challenge
He walked towards the archery field, when he reached there he realised Chiron was not present instead there was the cabin head of the Apollo cabin Mack Sullian. He walked up to Mack
"Hey mack!"
He shouted,Mack walked up to him
"What"
"I would like to ally with your cabin"
"thats good"
Though there something about his tone that sounded like 'we are doomed'
Sith picked up a bow and a quiver full of arrows and took his spot a few feet from one of the targets,he pulled with all his force And let go. Miss he tried again, miss, and again miss. Sith started to feel frustrated, suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder he turned around to see Melody
"Hi Sith"
"Hi Melody"
"What's up"
"Nothing why?" He felt nervous what if she found out About the letter?
"Relax" she said laughing "I can see you are having trouble with your target" she pointed her finger to Siths target
"Oh right" he said feeling relieved, noticed his target had not a scratch on it, he noticed that even peanut had hit a target, well if you count Jacey mocktays butt as one.
"You do it like this" she demonstrated, she pulled back her bow and left the string , the arrow flew from her bow to the target piercing through it. Sith tried to imitate her, he notched an arrow and pulled his bow back to its end
"Elbow up" she instructed, gently pushing it up
"Chest in" he obliged
"Feet apart" he did so
"Annnd.. Now!"
He left the arrow which flew straight at the target hitting it a few centimetres below melodys
"Now see simple enough" Melody said smiling. Sith suddenly noticed that he was starring at her, he looked away quickly, notching another arrow and shooting by following the tips melody had given.
He continues to shoot arrow after arrow, few missing few almost on mark.
"This is....quest..."
Siths ears pick up that word he lowers his bow

Quest

If what he heard had been right it was the opportunity he had had been looking for, Sith turns around looking for the source of the Anonymous voice, he scanned the area
"Need, one more....p...what,,...."
He identified the person, she was a girl of about 16, with blue hair and eyes, next to her was a girl with brown hair and pink eyes of about 15. The archery class was dismissed, Sith followed the girl , pushing past people. He was so focused on following the girls That he was only vaguely aware of somebody calling him.
The girls stopped In front of the river, they were discussing about something. Suddenly a boy of about Siths age, joined them, he had black hair and dark blue eyes, he wore a faded camp shirt. He was acting all exited

Oh no, you don't

Sith knew what the boy was going to do, he was going to join them on the quest. Sith ran up to them, they stopped talking and looked at him
"Hi, my name is Sith son of Thantos...I desperately need to join your quest"
They stared at him for a moment, then the boy spoke up
"Sorry bro, seats taken I'm going!"
"Joshep calm down"
The girl with dark blue hair said
"I'm sorry Sith but we already have a three members"
"You don't understand I have to go" Sith replied, his heart sinking "please"
"Dude! Didn't you hear me, spots Taaaaaaken"
Joshep spoke in a high tone
"But-"
"Both you girls shut up" interrupted the brown headed girl "how about a match right here, right now" she grinned
Joshep seemed to agree on that, Sith to unwillingly agreed

Soon both of them where facing each other, Sith had summoned his sword while Joshep was holding a two short celestial swords both having symbols of a trident engraved in them
"I'm gonna go bro" Joshep taunted
"We'll see" Sith replied seriously
Joshep charged, Sith shadow travelled reappearing above Joshep, holding his sword above his head and slashing down wards, Joshep managed to doge at the last second, only an inch of his hair being severed. Siths sword hit the ground and cracks appeared with the grass yellowing. Sith shadow traveled reappearing behind Joshep and slashing in a wide arc, Joshep had apparently anticipated this move and  turned around holding up his two short sword as a defense, but the force was two much for him sending Joshep flying into the river. There was silence, had he won? Suddenly the water bubbled and Joshep jumped out of the water looking refreshed
"Baaaad choice of moves bro"
Suddenly the water behind Joshep rose high into the sky, turning into what looked like a gaint fist, it came down on Sith.

Ever had those moments when your at the swimming pool and you have to jump into ice cold water, or when your swimming and water goes into your mouth, and ears?...well this was the same. times a thousand. Sith lay there ,unable to get up. He pushed his head up and spit out the water in his mouth. He had lost.
"Ha got you bro, nice fight tho"
"C'mon Joshep lets get outta here, COME ON SARA!" the brown haired girl called and Joshep followed. Sara turned around to follow but she hesitated and looked back,her eyes conveying one message sorry

Sith got up, and picked up sword, he was tired and drenched with water. This was it he had
