Log in![Not So Aphrodite, More Ares [private] Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif)
by The Cheshire Cat 2/15/2015, 9:05 pmAsh walked into the sword arena for the second time that day, the first was to just see if she even liked it and she so totally did. She nearly fangirled right in front of the other campers but thankfully didn't. Now, in her new outfit, which she knew she was gonna have to change after practicing, she strode into the arena without a care in the world and full confidence that she was going to get a good workout in before she needed to go to dinner. Drawing her saber she took up a stance in front of the dummy and closed her eyes.One attacker. Level seven She told herself before flashing her eyes open and began attacking the dummy with grace and speed like the Ares kids she had seen from earlier. Changing from her saber to her Bastard sword in the blink of an eyes, Ash started to leave deeper gashes in the wooden figure before slicing it clean down the middle with a grunt. Panting and worn she stood and smirked at the severed figure before taking a few steps back and sheathing the sword.

Sawyer wasn't alone in the arena this morning, which wasn't surprising. Normally you could always find some war demigods in here, kids of Athena, Bia, Ares, Enyo, Polemos, Kratos, etc, but this morning, only one girl was slicing up dummies, someone Sawyer had never seen before. Her pigtails were died ruby-red and gathered up in a ponytail, she had a slender figure but an attitude that made her think it wasn't her first time holding a sword. She looked about as old as her, however, with her ring, necklace and other jewels, she didn't look like she had done much real fighting, as in, fighting against monsters.
"I think you should take your jewels off for combat, girl, you can really hurt yourself," she said in her deep, masculine voice.
The huge, brawny daughter of Hephaestus was about five meters from her, walking towards her own dummy with her large, modern ax in her hand. She had a red tank top which showed the massive muscles of her arms and shoulders with a pair of camouflage shorts and hiking boots. Her greasy black hair was held back by her signature U.S. Army bandanna and her copper skin was as usual covered in burns, blisters, wounds and bruises.

Ash turned and saw the girl who spoke to her.I know that. Thank you. The red head said with a slight attitude. She wasn’t much of a people person and would much rather prefer the solidarity of fighting alone or sitting on the roof of her cabin and recording some guitar songs to use later. After taking a few gulps from her water bottle the daughter of Aphrodite stretched her taut muscles as far as she could, giving a slight grimace as she stretched her arms. Fitness was a big thing for her and she tried her best to stay in top shape, going running every morning before lifting weights and then practicing at the arena.

"Your call," Sawyer shrugged though she found it pretty stupid. Did this girl even know how easily you could break bones with crap like rings and bracelets? But eh. Stupid decision. Her fault. Sawyer wasn't gonna nag especially since she had that kind of attitude of, I'm better than you, which made her tick. She really didn't like arrogant people and had learned to just ignore them if they came her way.
Shuffling over to a moving bronze dummy, she started ducking under the blades, stopping them with her huge ax before hacking the automaton to pieces one part of the other until all what's left was a pile of broken gears, scrap metal and tattered wiring giving faint jets of sparks from time to time.

Ash leaned on her bastard sword and rolled her eyes at the girls remark. She may have been new to cap but she had been trained in swordsmanship since she was young, the same goes for her artistic skills with a paintbrush. Sheathing her sword again the daughter of Aphrodite walked over to another dummy and began hammering away at it with her swords, alternating every so often to keep her skills sharp for both deadly weapons.
Ash knew jewels were a bad idea in battle, she learned the hard way from training one day, but if her target wasn't gonna kill her then she didn't care. Gems were her weakness and she didn't care at the moment since she was just fighting the training dummies. As she hacked away she got lost in thought but felt eyes on her. She didn't know, or care for that matter, if it was that girl again but she ignored it and didn't stop attacking till she split the dummy vertically in two.

Sawyer went over to the hurdles, jumping over them, climbing up the net then dropping back down, crawling under barbed wire and trying not to fall in the pits she could sense thanks to her mechanical intuition, all of this whilst protecting herself from flame jets with her shield and warding off spinning blades with both shield and ax. Two or three of these blades wedged themselves into her armor and she prayed Hephaestus they didn't mess up the coded circuits. Flames grazed her in a wave of intense heat but Sawyer was so inhabited to getting burns that she barely did more than hissing through gritted teeth. Her skin was so rough and coarse it didn't matter too much either way.
Jumping over the last spiked hurdle, she sent her ax at a dummy twenty yards away, slicing the head clean off. The ax wedged itself in the wall and Sawyer went to take it back, glancing at the girl who had split the dummy in two. She would've looked like an Ares kid if not for the fashionable clothes. Ares kids didn't dress like that, Ares kids dressed in practical clothes, they dressed to fight, not to look pretty. Perhaps she was some kind of Iris offspring?

Ash sheathed her sword and went over to a nearby tree and hung upside down from on of the strong low branches. Using her core she pulled herself up and down to do crunches against the force of gravity. She may have been an Aphrodite but she loves the feeling of her muscles working and sweating in the heat of the day. After a rep of 150 Ash climbed down and drank some of her water. The most important part of staying in shap was staying healthy and she intended on doing so.

The girl went out of the arena and Sawyer went back to re-start the hurdle race. She wrote down her time on the paper block next to the chronometer and waited for the start beep, muscles tense. When it came, she raced forward, dodging or holding up her shield to protect herself from the blades flying at her, be it at her neck, face, legs, stomach, etc. She had put the hurdles up to the next level so now she had to jump higher and crawl more. The barbed celestial bronze wire tugged at her clothes, drawing small trickles of blood across her skin. She'd heal them later, they were unimportant; her forehead damp with sweat, she rolled back to her feet and jumped up at the net, climbing it as fast as she could, dropping on the other side and resuming the hurdle race. Sawyer was a fast runner despite what most people would think when seeing her mass of brawn and muscle that only seemed fit to lift weights. But no, she could be pretty quick on her feet, and finished the hurdle race several seconds later, immediately checking the chronometer. 34.41! One of her best times.

Ash saw the girl from earlier running hurdles and dodging blades. The girl was good, real good. Then again most of the campers had been here for years where as she was only a few months a member. Even then she thought the girl was good at what she did. As Natasha finished her small workout she walked over to the girl and gave a nod at the course.That is some impressive skill you have there, mom amie. Might I ask for a name, si vous plait? The daughter of Aphrodite asked with her french accent.My name is Natasha de Angelou, i am a daughter of Aphrodite. You may call me Ash though. The girl said starting to warm up and be friendly like she used to be before growing cold. Maybe this was her chance to make new friends and start over.

Sawyer didn't know why the girl was talking in French -- maybe she was from France? Probably. French had always been the bane of Sawyer's high school life and she was glad she had dropped it last year. The pronunciation and grammar and feminine/masculine articles... meh. She rather stuck with English, Ancient Greek and Portuguese.
"Sawyer," she replied, her voice deep and throaty. "Hephaestus cabin. Nice to meetcha, De Angelou."
