over the next few days i fell back into camp routine.
i helped percy with english, because dyslexia made it hard for him. i had dyslexia too, but from an early age i'd been reading the manuals my dad would throw out, and safety warnings on his weapons. my brain was used to reading english, so it wasn't too hard for me.
i practiced archery with lee fletcher, from apollo cabin. i was a perfect shot in archery, for some reason. i was also good with a dagger, and some throwing knives. swordfighting was one thing i suck in.
i kept an eye on percy to see if there was anything he excelled in. nothing in particular, except canoeing. annabeth and i had a bet on who his godly parent was. i had a good feeling i was going to win.
on thursday, the day before the game, i went to swordfight with luke and cabin eleven. i would usually sit in the strawberry fields with my cabin, but i wanted to improve.
i didn't stay long, though. luke kicked me out after i kept making my opponents trip using charmspeak. that made me miss percy beating luke in swordfighting.
i wandered aimlessly like most of my siblings.
that night, i fell asleep instantly. but, i had a dream.
i was outside of a giant banquet hall, sitting by the fountain. it was nighttime, and there were cars parked in the lot, but no one was around. sensing only one presence i turned around to come face to face with a beautiful woman.
