The entire Minor and Creature Tiers were here in the amphitheater. I smiled at everyone as I stepped into the center of the 'stage' circle thing. "Y'all ready!" I cried excitedly. A cheer echoed through the crowd as I got Bella's text saying, "go for it." "Then let's go!" I yelled as Raven opened up the shadow portal. The minute we stepped into the gym the music switched from a slow dance to a rock and roll break up song. We all strutted in our sea of black clothing and dark magic. All the Olympians and Tops ran out of the way as we took the floor. We danced like our lives depended on it, and every Lympy was glaring at us, it felt good. Two Skellys and a Squid rolled their silk sleeves up and barreled towards where I was dancing with my siblings and friends I smirked at them and flipped them all the finger on both hands right on the music deterring them away from me. I banged my head and swayed my hips, this was the most fun I'd had in years. No Tops, no dad, no bullies to end this. I watched as Cedric and Kimon wrapped their arms around one another and smile at each other meaningfully. I watched as Bella danced with a son of Pan, and who I think was Kyna and a SQUID hold the teacher Hercules back from the fray of Demigods and Creatures. She had brown hair blue determined eyes and a freckled nose. She smirked when she saw me and gave me a little salute. I smirked back and continued dancing. I shook my short hair and smiled brightly as the music continued to play. Alice, Sabrina, Raven, Semestra and I linked arms and began to twirl with each other around the Tier. When we broke away from each other I ended up right in front of, Colson. His blue eyes grazed over me and he smirked, "Having fun?" He asked. I shoved him into the fray and smirked at him, "Yes," I mouthed simply and returned to my friends. I looked back over to see Kyna gone, but Chiron in her place. He smiled at me and gave me a nod gesture thing over to the right where I saw Kyna talking with someone. It was the same Squid. He was tall, with sun-damaged brown hair so it was blonde-ish, his eyes were blue but had veins of green and grey though them making them look like an ocean. I smiled at the sight but shook it off quickly and continued to dance with my friends. When the music stopped cheers erupted from the Minors and the Creatures and we all through our hands up as we walked out of the gym ignoring everyone in our path. No one was going to take this victory away from us. No one. We all made our way back home and I back to my dorm. The euphoria in my blood was overwhelmingly amazing as I reached for my door handle. "That was quite the stunt you pulled Alyxandra," A cocky voice said from behind me. "No,". I breathed, "Not you." I turned to see my father behind me glaring at me. "Did you really think you could get away from me that easily," He growled as he grabbed my wrist. The touch felt off and unnatural. I wrenched my arm away and snarled, "Where are you Lympys!" I punched the illusion of my father causing him to disappear within a mist of color. "Hello, Alyxandra was it?" A weasel-like girl stepped around the corner. Her rats nest of red curls sat in her head like a mop and her sneer echoed throughout the hall. It was Steela a daughter of Dionysus. Her powers could feed on your innermost demons and make you go insane. Two other kids stepped out on either side of me. One was Asher the Ares brat, and the other was a boy with dyed green hair and bronze skin, a child of Demeter. "That was a very maddening thing you did," The Dionysus kid said creepily. "It was not appreciated," The Demeter kid continued as they all began to circle me. "You know we can deal with a disdainful witch in the ways of old, what say you?" Steela's slivery voice slid down my back causing me to shudder. "Get out of here," I growled. "I don't think so," Asher snarled with a glare. "Go away," I repeated, "We went to the dance and had fun, I dare you to try and ruin tonight for us. If you fight us the whole Creature and Minor Tiers will strike you down," I threatened, "I suggest you walk away before I scar all three of you." I smiled fakely and stepped into my room slamming the door on all of their glowering faces. I took a deep breath and slid down my door so I was sitting against it. I ran my fingers through my short hair and smiled to myself. We actually did this, we hijacked the tournament dance. I stood up and twirled around the room this was amazing! I finally felt like we'd done something memorable and important! Suddenly there was a popping noise and a dim flash of light and a letter appeared on my floor. I gingerly picked up the parchment envelope and opened it. There were only two sentences on it. "To the amphitheater. A quest has been announced by the gods" I ripped up the letter and threw it in the trash as I made my way to the door. Great another quest that the leader was a Top and all the quest members were obedient subordinates without minds of their own. I stomped down the halls and was soon joined by my friends who were also grumbling. We scrambled up the stone bleacher seats all the way to the top in the very back where we wouldn't be noticed as much. Eventually, everyone arrived and were waiting for The Fates to appear. Mist billowed around the stage and three cloaked figures appeared. "Typhoon the great titan," One rasped. "Is stirring once again," The other finished. The last ended the short speech, "Colson Thompson of Zeus shall bring members of each of the Tiers to aide him in this quest," They all pointed bony and scraggly fingers in the audience and the wind began to pick up. Everyone shuddered collectively as Colson was lifted from the audience and onto the stage. "Choose your champions and the quest will begin!" They all rasped together then disappeared in an explosion of grey mist. Colson scanned the audience. He would start by announcing his member from the Top Tier. "Caspian Holleran of Poseidon from the Top Tier!" Colson announced first. The same Squid I saw Kyna with earlier got up from his seat walked down the stairs to join Colson on the stage. "Kyna Sage of Athena from the Olympian Tier," Colson yelled next. Kyna stood up and walked down the stairs with lithe grace. Caspian winked at her and she smiled back when she joined the two boys. He was now going to announce the Creature he wanted on the quest. "David Ollison of the Cyclops from the Creature Tier!" Colson announced. A tall and burly cyclops joined them on the stage. He had a single forest green eye in the middle of his forehead that was slightly covered by his brown shaggy hair. And now his Minor Tier champion, probably an obedient and timid lapdog. He looked to the top of the bleachers and announced, "Alyxandra Sullivan of Hecate from the Minor Tier!"
