Arena

[Spooky Mulder, The Master of Random]

You know the rules

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy went over to the Arena a bit in higher spirits, she decided to skip the camp fire cause she really didn't want to face Artemis when she heard she had chickened out. The training room was empty except for the spare armor and swords lying around. She went over to the nearest dummy and started hacking off it's limbs and practicing the moves she learned in sword fighting. She was getting to be pretty god, not a perfect but she had a bit of that natural rhythm in her that made it kinda better. She sighed contently when the dummy's head was lain across the room and sat down for a bit. If Pandora had done anything for Izzy it was reminding her that life wasn't always the way it planned out to be and sometimes you just had to sit back and enjoy the ride. She sighed that sounded way easier then it was...

Christian walked into the arena, smiling slightly at the girl hacking away at the dummies. He flipped open his switchblade and calmly cleaned his fingernails as the girl continued to work. When she was done, Christian snapped the blade shut with a loud click.
"You're pretty good." He said, walking forward. "Who are you?"

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy jumped slightly as the boy approached her. "Oh um thanks." she lightly touched her blade to turn it into a lighting bolt clip. She placed it back in her pocket and held out her hand "Izzy." she said simply "Now who are you?"

"Name's Christian." Christian said. "Nice toy. By the lightning bolt, I'd say you were a daughter of Zeus. Am I wrong?"

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy grinned "Nope you're correct, you have a lighting head at your service." she waved slightly to Sophie as she passed

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

"wow," Christian said, impressed. "It's been a while since I've met a daughter of Zeus. How's it going, cousin? Name's Christian." He held out his hand to shake.

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy smiled and shook his hand "Cousin?" she tilted her head "Hum... Guessing how you sneaked up on me that easily just now Id guess Hades huh?" she turned to grin at Sophie "Sure, as long as you teach me some of yours."

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

"Sophie." Christian said, smiling as he took her hand and kissed it softly. "A pleasure, of course. And yes, Christian Squire, son of Hades, at your service."

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy nodded at him "And apparently a gentleman too. Sweet." she shrugged at Sophie "Eh maybe, maybe not."

"so,you can get an army of skeletons?? or ghosts??""

"Of course." Christian snapped his fingers, a grin on his lips. He watched as a skeleton slowly formed from the dirt of the arena floor, coming to attention in front of him. Christian snapped his fingers again and the skeleton collapsed into dust. "Skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, hellhounds, I've even been known to summon a Fury or two. Whatever you want, I can provide it."

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

"Whoa." Izzy said glancing at where the skeleton had just stood "Wouldn't want to be against you in Capture the flag."

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

Isabelle *the face behind the crazy* wrote: ""Whoa." Izzy said glancing at where the skeleton had just stood "Wouldn't want to be against you in Capture the flag.""

"Alas, Chiron has forbidden me from summoning an army of ghosts to help me out in Capture the Flag." Christian said sadly. "They do make fantastic sparring partners, though. They actually fight back, unlike dead and deader over there." He gestured to the hacked-up dummies in the corner.

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy nodded "I bet you could sneak past all the defenders easily. Your team would probably win the game without even knowing it for the first 10 minutes."

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

"Well, I'm not bad if I do say so myself." Christian said, grinning. "And yeah, I bet I could slide past pretty easily. They won't even know what hit them."

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy perked up interested "You better not be opposing Zeus. I don't feel like running around aimlessly trying to stop you from crashing defenses."

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

"I'm not on a team. Not quite yet, anyway. Unless I could join one of yours." He said hopefully. "That way Izzy here wouldn't have to spend the entire time trying to catch shadows."

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy laughed "Well that sounds too inciting to oppose. Christian I would love if you were on my team."

[Jordan, The Picture Magician (aka Probie)]

"Yes!" Christian laughed, punching the air. "I look forward to kicking some ass with you. When's the next match?"

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

(Awwww bye :()
Izzy thought for a moment "Hum, if I recall correctly... Sometime next week I guess."

[Isabelle *the face behind the crazy*]

Izzy scratched her head "Oh it did? Well then, I was getting a bit hungry." she looked over at Christian "You wanna go eat?"
