Percy PoV

I walked into the arena, waiting for the duel. Gee, Steve walks in with full Celestial Bronze armor.

"Heroes! Today we witness a battle between a sky spawn and a sea spawn! Go!"

I let out a war cry as Steve blindly charged forward. Unfortunately, he had armor I didn't. The armor made his movements sluggish. He charged straight forward and slashed at my feet. What lose aims for the feet?

He blindly charged me, getting ready to disarm me. He thrust out his sword, but I jumped back. Somehow, his sword fell out of his hand. Wow.

I put my sword at his neck. "Yield?"

I slowly walked out the arena, until a totally random figure that goes by the name of Steve threw his sword at me. I quickly dodged it.

"Nobody dishonors me!" Steve yelled, like the cloud brain he was.

I turned on him. "Really sir? I dishonor you?!"

"Yes."

"You tarnished the memory of Half-Blood Hill! You can push the Romans to declare war!"

I lunged at him and threw him. "You are a disgrace."


Annabeth PoV

Percy had remarkably improved since we last met. He was more agile, and he now had a new weapon -- a trident. I watched as Percy put away his weapons and walk out of the arena.

I froze. I watched as Steve threw his sword at Percy. Percy dodged it and dealt with the guy.
