I arrived at the armory, to check our some daggers. I found a total of three that I liked, and went to the area where we can throw them. I was a little rusty, since I haven't had a dagger in 61 years. But I still managed to hit the outer RI gs on the target, after a few rounds, I was almost hitting bullseyes. Then Percy came up.
'Hey, Crystal, wanna practice sword fighting?' He asks.
'Sure, I might be a bit rusty.'
'No problem. Let's start.'
I only pull out one of my twin swords, off my necklace, which suprizes him.
'You have two swords?'
'Yep, they came together, can't be separated either. I tried.'
'Neat. Shall we begin?
'Yes.'
We get into fighting stances and wait for someone to make the first move. Noticing that I won't, he does. He jabs at me and I instictly block. I swing my sword up and thrust it in his general direction. He jumps back and to the side. We both charge at eachother, but before we meet, I jump to the side and kick him in the stomach. He falls to the ground. He quickly recovers, and stands back up. This time only he charges. He swings his sword and it cuts my arm. I hiss in pain, but continue the match.
We continue fighting for around 30 minutes, before we decide it is a draw. Mainly because the dinner bell rang.
------at Dinner------
I sat at the Hades table, swith Nico. Everyone looked at me curiously.
'Why is she sitting at the hades table, shouldn't she be at the Hermes table?' I heard a camper ask. I simply ignored them and went to offer some of my food to the gods, specifically Hades.
'Thanks for allowing me to be found dad.' I whisper.
'Campers. Chronic shouts, immediately quieting the dining hall, as you notice there are two campers at the Hades table. We received a new camper today, who has already been at camp before, therefore knew her godly parent. Crystal please stand.'
I stand up and wave a shy wave.
'My I present Crystal Rotoli, daughter of Hades.'
'People start clapping, but you could tell that they were afraid.
'I've also come to tell you that there will be a message given at the campfire to  night, by me. It's another prophecy, and it's a big one.'
You could hear groans and gasps all throughout the dining hall.
'That is all.' With that he walked off the stage thing, and left campers to eat.
'I've wonder what the prophecy is.'
'I wonder if I'm in it.'
These are just two statements heard after that message.
