The next day

Percy's POV:

I stood behind a gate watching as Reyna stood in the center of an arena. She held her gladius calmly as her first opponent walked out with a lance.

"The first opponent will be Aaron from Cohort five. Let the match begin" the praetor said and Reyna raced forward toward Aaron who just smirked and held his ground

"Come on girly, ill show you a real fight" He said as he thrusted forward only for Reyna to spin to the side and avoid the attack before leaping forward into his personal space and making a quick thrust into his chest

Aaron turned to the side and pushed the flat of the blade away before jumping back to put some room between him and her. He then scowled before he charged forward and I sighed.

"Children of mars are never bright. Smarter than Ares, but not by much" I grumbled to myself as I watched Aaron lose himself in a rage that he put himself in

Reyna kept her face calm and collected as she parried each attack and countered. I had a little difficulty believing that she could protect herself against a soldier who has been tried by combat, then I remembered that her mother was a goddess of war. I chuckled lightly when I saw Aaron's spear split in two as he used it to defend but Reyna didn't hesitate to cleave through the wooden shaft.

"YOU GO REYNA! KICK HIS ASS!" Hylla yelled and I chuckled again

I watched as Reyna kicked Aaron down and held her sword at his throat.

"And the first round goes to Reyna!" the Praetor announced causing everyone to cheer

And that's how the rest of her trials went. Reyna starting the match with her charging to see how her opponent would act before adapting to their fighting style and beating her opponent. Until the last trial that is.

"And for the final fight, we have Reyna verses Octavian!" The praetor announced and I raised an eyebrow as the skinny pale blond kid walked out holding a legion standard and I growled

'That fucking cheater' I snarled mentally as he smirked and raised the standard to the sky

"Oh, mighty and all powerful lord Jupiter, I pray to thee to lend me your strength in this fight. Use your symbol of power to declare me the victor of this match!" Octavian prayed and dark thunder clouds gathered overhead and a large lightning bolt shot down and hit the standard before launching at Reyna who was frozen in fear.

I blizzard traveled in front of Reyna and created a large barrier of winter wind to block the attack which caused steam to rise everywhere. However, I felt the bolt breaking through the weak barrier and I growled.

"I. Will. Not. Fail!" I snarled as I lowered the temperature of the air around the arena and froze the winter wind into solid ice before shifting into my wolf form and letting out a bone chilling howl

Third Person POV:

As steam rose around the arena, a howl pierced through the crackling and exploding of lighting. Suddenly ice slowly encased the large bolt of lightning and quickly traveled down the bolt of plasma back towards the standard. As soon as the ice touched the standard the bolt of lightning shattered into millions of pieces all discharging some sort of electric shock. But, the howl continued as a blizzard ripped through the arena freezing the very ground creating a thick layer of permafrost.

"E-E-Enough!" the praetor said and the howl stopped as did the blizzard but when the air cleared, there was a shell of ice around Reyna

Suddenly, the ice shattered to reveal 'Dante' with glowing ice blue eyes with claws made out of a blue ice that looked almost like crystal. He snarled and if anyone looked at him, the only thing they could say is that he looked like a wild wolf. His canines were showing as they glinted a dangerous white, his hair was messy and windblown but looked natural as it had small ice crystals in it, and his stance was strange as if he was ready to pounce onto his prey.

"YOU WANT TO FIGHT WITH POWERS, THEN LETS FIGHT WITH POWERS!!!" Percy yelled viciously as he rushed forward like an avalanche towards Octavian who was cowering in fear at the sight.

Wind whipped around Percy as he charged, his claws to his sides as he closed in on the shaking legionnaire. Percy didn't slow down as he got within striking range but as he swung his clawed hand, he stopped dead in his tracks as a single ice claw touched his forehead and Percy smiled viciously.

"Feel the bite of winters chill, let it seep into your very being, may you never experience warmth again" He whispered darkly as Octavian's skin took a light blue shade and Percy pulled back and let out a laugh "Let this be a reminder to any and all. The house of Aquilon will not stand aside while their friends are in danger, if this happens again, I will seek further justice and it will be a lot more painful than a cold" He snarled before snow and ice swirled around him before exploding away leaving nothing behind

Reyna stood where she was, frozen in shock and fear. Fear of almost being killed by a lightning bolt, and in shock of being saved by Percy. Only one thought went through her head and she announced it aloud.

"Do I win?"
