All of us swarmed the таблица laden with armor
after dinner. Chiron instructed us of the rules, like always.
I was on the blue team with the
Poseidon, Athena, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and
some of the minor god's children's cabins. The red team consisted of the Ares, Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, and the rest of the minor god's children's cabins. In other words, we were toast.
I adjusted my heavy leather armor and strapped on my helmet. Last of all, I sheathed my own Celestial sword, perfect size, weight, and grip. I also slipped my shield onto my arm. I grunted and hoped no one heard. I was still getting used to the walking-around-in-armor-that-weighs-about-a-hundred-pounds thing.
Chiron blew the horn and we all ran off, yelling and whooping all the way. I had been put on defense, as usual. I'm not the best at offense.
Like the time I tried to grab the flag and ended up tripping and face-planting in the dirt, tripping up several of my teammates and basically causing us to lose that game. The time before that... Ты know what? This has nothing to do with Capture the Flag. Forget the whole thing.
Anyway, our team had placed its flag strategically (having Athena's kids on your team helps strategy-wise) a few hundred yards away from the brook, on a small холм, хилл I personally call The Lump. It was smart to put it there because, well, I don't actually know. Strategy is not one of my stronger points, as Ты might have noticed. While most of the other kids were talking about strategy and battle plans etc., etc., I'd been drawing Цветы on my arm with a Sharpie.
Well, I was stationed in front of the brook, guarding the flag. I took in a deep breath
and looked around me. All of the plant-life glowed with a faint glow only children of Demeter could see.
I wanted to hop up into one of the oak trees around me and peacefully sit taking in nature, или maybe chat with some дерево dryads, but I knew that with my luck, I'd just get up the дерево and a group of campers from the red team would come over and take the flag, and by the time I would've climbed (or fallen) out of the tree, they would be half- back to the border (unfortunately, I speak from experience). Plus, with my ADD and ADHD, I'd be fidgeting and probably fidget myself out of the tree.
All of a sudden I hear a rustling sound, coming from the undergrowth to my left. I tensed and snapped my fingers, causing the vines growing up the trees and around me to spring to life. I braced myself to get pounded into the ground by Nyssa from the Hephaestus кабина или worse, Clarisse la Rue from the Ares cabin.

this is a spoiler free article. just read the blood of Olympias, and for Ты people who want Percy to be the hero and not some one else don't read the book.i mean it is good but they replace Percy's view of things with Nico's view and Annebeth's view with Reyna's view.in other words Percy and Annebeth are just еще characters and are no longer the Герои или even the main characters.
p.s. they give this away at the beginning of the book by as i сказал(-а) previously replacing Percy and Annebeth with Nico and Reyna.

LANCE EVAN'S POV
I watched Delana as she grinned and did a small victory dance. I figured this was something big for her, even though we haven't even won the game yet. I have to admit, in all my 15 years I had never seen someone so... well, pretty, I guess, (don't tell her I сказал(-а) that unless Ты want your teeth kicked in), but I don't know, just, unique. Yeah, that's the word. She was different, in her own way, and didn't care what other people thought. I have to say, that's one of the reason I stick around this place. And after seeing her fight Hammy Buckwell, well it was pretty impressive. I noticed then that was staring at her doing her little dance. Unfortunately, she noticed too and stopped. We locked eyes, but I turned away uncomfortably, clearing my throat.
Just then, a huge roar echoed through the woods. Then, a 2-ton drakon came crashing through the woods.
