-Leo-

Leo! Leo! Get up, I hardly managed to get up as I was knocked back by a blinding explosion. I manage to roll on my back to an upright position barely catching myself, I run forward as fast as I can, I ball my fists up and set them aflame.  I see someone from the red team ahead and I start to run, I notice my pants catch fire " damnit wheres calypso when I need her " I say.  And I try to ignore the growing flame. An arrow rushes past my ear , and I'm just lucky enough for it to graze my ear.  launch a fireball at the red team member, and they turn a corner just before it hits them,  bringing a tree to flames.  I run and turn the corner and there's nothing. Nothing except a statue of my father,  I touch its base and feel its gears creaking on the inside,  I hear a popping noise in my ears and feel the gears start to work.  The statues hands moves and reaches for me,  I reach in my toolbelt and pull out random things to throw,  a wrench,  a oil can,  a apple? … " okay " I throw it at the statue and it dissapears in midair " thats weird " . I touch its hand and I feel a prick and pull my hand back,  instantly my body feels like a puddle and I fall to the ground. I cant move and my eyes close slowly.  " I think he was paralyzed" says a deep sluggish voice.  " do you think its poison?  .." I dont know it could be " says another voice. I try to move my hands but it feels like they are bounded,  "H-help me" I manage to say. " whoa whoa,  stay down you need to rest " a voice says. I feel a heavy hand placed against my chest and lay back down.  " what happened "I say ," dont worry there's not much damage done to you,  but your pants are halfway gone,  what did you do walk through a fire?

" ummm… er,  I can explain " , " well start explaining boy "… " well,  I can.. I can , I guess its better if I just show you,  I set my hands on fire and look at the hot white flame .." holy stix!! " they back away and I let the flame out.  I look away as I see them staring at me in curiosity. " where the hell did you come from,  are you a child of apollo? " " no hepheastus" I reach down and touch my waist " wheres my toolbelt? "

I start to panic "wheres my sphere!! ". " everything you had is right here". I look and and see a woman and an elderly man.  " my names Panacea and this is my father Asclepius,  we found you lying outside". She walk up closer to me with a valve filled with blue liquid,  " open up" she says.  " why? " I say,  " you need this it helps,  you touched something and you were poisoned ". I open my mouth slowly being cautious " make it quick " I say.  I feel the icy liquid flush down my throat,  I swallow it fast and start to cough.  " oh god what the hell is this stuff " I sit up on the table and lean over.  " its drakons blood, nothing to worry about it cures the poison." "it tastes like acid water " I say.  " haha yeah,  I know its pretty disgusting,  taste just as bad as drakons look". " well I'm better now " I say as I stand up.  " I should get going", " okay… but where will you go? " says panacea.
