Percy POV
I was about ninety nine point nine percent sure that our resident spy was Annabeth. The question now was is there another?
We were eating breakfast at the pavilion with a few campers staring at me like they expected me to bust out some Kung fu moves for them.
Chiron stood up and banged his hooves against the ground, silencing the campers. " Heroes! Today we would have a game of capture the flag." He said. Chiron turn to us and continued " would the Elites care to join in?"
I did a quick discussion with the rest.
Mind link
Me: So?
Luke: Seems fun
Micheal: But won't having us on whichever team give them an unfair advantage?
Bianca: How about we ask if we could be a team on our own?
Lee: So kind of like a campers vs Elites?
Bianca: Yep
Me: Sounds good. All in favor?
All: Yep.
Looking up, I asked " We would participate. But could it be the Elites versus the campers?" Chiron nodded. " The hunters of Artemis would also be joining if that is okay?" He asked. I nodded at him before continuing with my meal.
=============time skip=============
The rest of the day was spent training and playing video games. Soon it was time for capture the flag.
The campers kept sending not so subtle glances throughout dinner. More than once did I hear some of them muttering " they are so going to lose." and " there is only eight of them. Against the whole camp and the hunters? This is so going to be an easy win."
I can't wait to see their face when we crush them. I'll just humor them for now.
As everyone geared up for the game, Alex strut over and said cockily " You losers are going down. We will win this game so easily with me on their team that you will see why I am the greatest person you will ever meet."
" We'll see." I replied. The Elites watched the campers put on their armor. We were always ready for battle so that we would never be surprised in a sudden attack. Also, who needs to carry their weapons around like a peasant when you could just summon them?
Finally the campers got their armor in the right places and we could start. I am starting to think we should have training sessions for them if they are going to be so slow. By the time they were done putting on armor alone in a fight, they would already be dead.
At least the Seven and the Veterans could put on their armor in less then a two minutes. The two teams got their flags. Ours was a black wolf silhouette howling with the white symbol of Chaos at the back and a black background.
Theirs was just the symbol of the camp. That flag is going to be changing symbols soon. Is Elites had already discussed the planned before this. Here is a quick summary.
Zoe, Orion, Lee and Bianca would stay near the flag and shoot any campers that go near it. Silena would be guarding the flag as the rules states that only one person can stand beside the flag, guarding it. She would use her sirenspeak which is like charmspeak except way more powerful.
Micheal and Ethan would attack at the left flank while Beckendorf and Castor would attack at the right. Perseus would be attacking one the middle. All this was of course a distraction to cause the campers and hunters to split up. Luke and I would take the air and fly to the flag and get it.
So as the game started, Luke and I spread our wings and flew silently to hostile territory. Under the cover of night, we were practically invisible. Besides, research shows that not many would look up when searching for something.
Under us, we could hear the sounds of fighting. I landed gently on a tree and told Luke to go scout out a different area and look for the flag.
I had a hunch on where it was but I had to get there to be sure. I leapt from tree to tree, rarely even making a slight rustle. Sure enough when I got there, I saw the flag on Zeus fist. Seriously that was so predictable. We only placed it there every single time when I was still a demigod.
Unlike us, they person guarding the flag looked like an amateur. When he turned, I realized it was Alex. Figures. If they had not expected us to get so close, they would assume that the person guarding the flag would basically be doing nothing. So of course he would make sure he was stationed here.
Even if they win, he would have done nothing, yet would be bragging about it like he was actually in the field. Coward. I was not too worried about our flag because we had placed it in a very tall tree and made illusions of four others in four other different tall trees. Good luck getting the flag of you can even get past the guards ,suckers!
Found it.
I mind messaged Luke. Usually I would have made one of my signature calls. The call of an owl. Seeing as I was in a tree with wing sprouting out of my back, I did not need to give the other Elites more reason to tease me.
Luke got to my tree and landed on another branch, in front of me. " Move you are blocking my view." I hissed. " I am the view. Like it?" He teased back.
If we were not in the middle of being stealthy, I would have shoved him out of the tree. " I'm going to get the flag. Cover me." I told him. Without waiting for him to respond, I started making my move.
I jumped down and knocked Alex out in the process before grabbing the flag. Dodging six arrows from six hunters, I shot ice at them to freeze their hands to the bow. Dare you to try and shoot me now gals!
Annabeth and Piper came to try and stop me. Piper does not seem too happy with being so close to Annabeth. " Stop. We are not here to fight. You just need to give us the flag and turn around for us to tie your hands. We are not the enemy remember." Piper tried to charm speak me.
I chucked " Sorry daughter of Aphrodite, but charmspeak does not work on me." Then Luke jumped down and engaged them in a fight.
I turned and ran. As fast as I was, I knew that my wolf form was faster. So I changed. As a wolf, I had a midnight black pelt and sea green eyes that I narrowed to avoid people from seeing.
All the Elites had wolf forms. When we change, our wolf forms when on all fours is about the height of a person. In other words, we are pretty big.
My four legs that were very muscular from training propelled me about twice or even three times faster than my human form. The flag and my cloths melted into my form. It can be handy at times.
Both campers and hunters came to try and stop me from getting to the border, but most of them backed away fast when they saw a giant wolf charging at them. Hooray for that.
It was almost laughable at how easy it was to get back to our side. Once I neared the creak that was separating the two territories, I leapt over it while changing back to human form.
I landed in a forward roll and turned back to see Luke also nearing the creak before he did the same thing as me. Slowly the campers and hunters emerged from the trees running in hopes of stopping us but it was over. We had won in under ten minutes.
======== time skip / line break=========
After the game ended, both the campers and the hunters were still grumbling over their embarrassing lost.
You had those who where sore losers that were the ones doing the most grumbling and the ones that had good sportsmanship like the Seven excluding Annabeth and the Veterans.
Then you had Annabeth and Alex that were just so unbearable. Alex was screeching that we had cheated and wanted a rematch and Annabeth was trying to hide the fact that she hated losing and was trying to flirt with us. Gross.
" So I saved Olympus multiple times and survived Tartarus without help while protecting a demigod that couldn't defend himself. Also I have done almost everything that the heroes of old had done like slay Medusa and retrieve the Golden Fleece except I had to get it from a cyclops. So I am kind of a big deal here if you want to go out sometime handsomes..." Annabeth continued listening down things that she did and some that she did not do.
" Athena spawn, hate to break it to you, actually not really but non of us are interested in you nor are we looking for someone to be with. So just stop." I finally snapped.
All of us, Elites knew that she was just trying to use us to become popular or get favors from the other campers. Not happening today.
Lights out was called soon and Annabeth tried to make one last impression. " I know what you said was a lie and you are actually interested in me. No need to play hard to get. I'll be waiting." She giggled before walking away, unnecessarily swaying her hips.
Mind link
Me: Seriously? That bitch needs to get a life.
Luke: Not in a million years would I ever think of being in a relationship with her.
Zoe: Are you sure I can't shoot her full of arrows?
Silena: Can I sirenspeak her into killing herself as slowly and as painfully as possible?
Me: No you can't do that. But that is disgusting. I would rather stay with Luke thank you very much.
All: That we can agree on.
We walked back to the cabin and went into our respective rooms. Well most of use did. I snuck into Luke's room to do a little more than snuggling with him.
