"Th-That's where you got the sword from that night?" He nodded and i just stared at it. I finally snapped out of it and began to walk to get a sword. I looked at the arrangement and really wished i had my own sword. I decided on one that felt too heavy... but i could still work with it. I pointed to the armor and Percy shook his head. No armor, i guess. We stepped onto the dueling area and i raised my sword.
"3 rounds! If the other person's sword touches you, they win that round." I turned to the person who said it and it was my councilor, Luke. I thought he was still asleep.
"GO!" Percy swung at me, but i backed away suddenly. He tripped a little, but he caught himself as i swung at his arm. I missed and felt something poke my side.
"POINT! PERCY!" People were gathering around as I glared at Percy and felt like i needed to show i can fight. Prove to everyone not to mess with me!
"READY! GO!" I swung once, twice, he dodged it, but i wasn't letting myself go down. I kicked his knee and while he recovered, i tucked my blade under his chin. I smirked as Luke shouted again.
"POINT! CASPIAN!" More people had gathered around and now it was the last round. Whoever wins this round, wins overall. I had to prove myself, but i bet Percy was thinking the same thing. I let out a shaky breath and pulled my sword back up.
"READY? GO!" I side-stepped as Percy tried to stab into me. I turned around right as his sword was about to make contact with my ribcage, but i caught his against mine. I pushed until he fell back a little, but because we are the brightest kids (note the sarcasm), he slipped. I thought i was about to win, but he rolled as i was about to poke him with my sword. He yelled as i ducked and did a summersault to avoid his sword. I got up and swung at him, and we took turns basically doing that, until i was against the rope that kept us in the area. I groaned as i pushed his blade away from me. He recovered faster than i had, and his sword was now under my chin. Everyone gasped.
"HAIL! PERCY JACKSON!" Chiron called out from the front of the crowd, as Luke climbed under the rope and grabbed Percy's arm. I rolled my eyes as Percy's gleamed with joy, i should have been faster! I walked back to the cabin and just did little things here and there until dinner.
