    The morning air was cold despite Camp's magically altered temperatures. Lakisha had woken up, showered, dressed in a black linen shirt with a large brown belt and a pair of slim white trousers, put her jackboots on and left the cabin.
    It was close to 7 am.
    She went to the stables, where she groomed and saddled Vengeance, a pearly-grey andalusian mare with a long mane. Even though Lakisha found the long mane made the horse look like a barbie-pony, she was fond of it because it was fast and obeyed effortlessly every command.
    She stepped into the stirrups, caught the reins and swung herself into the saddle, her dark auburn hair flying around. It was left open except for a braid at the side of her face.
    She kicked Vengence's sides and rode off to the forest.
    Lakisha made her walk, trot and gallop in alternance for half an hour, then finally made her walk at the side of the forest. Her weapon, Chrymos, was in dagger-modus and hung from her waist. She often closed her thin, white and cold fingers around the leather-coated hilt;it made her feel more self-assured.

    Ryan was sitting in the woods, just having came out of Gina's cave a few minutes ago. The sun beat down on him through the Cover of the trees. His sketch pad was open beside him, a certain pattern on it that only made sense to Ryan. It was boring though, until he heard a horse and sprang up quickly, his hand on his sword, wondering who, or what it could be

    Lakisha saw a boy jump up. At first, she hadn't seen him, because he had been sitting and so protected from sight by the bushes. He was medium, and of about her age. He had brown eyes and startling blue-green hair. But Lakisha noticed he had his hand on his sword and looked around. She understood he had heard her and thought it was... something else. She reined Vengeance, and the horse reared. Lakisha held on, and waved at the boy.
    "It's alright, nothing to be afraid of!" she said.
    She looked him up and down.
    Lakisha had put on a little make-up: one line of bronze-colored eyeliner over her left eye and one line of the same eye-liner under her right one. It made her face look asymmetric.

    I looked at the girl, studying her closely before relaxing my hand that was in my sword. "who are you?" I asked her, walking towards her and the horse. I watched her for a reaction

    "I'm Lakisha," she said, making her horse walk over to the boy. "And who might you be?"
    She didn't really want to have a conversation with that boy, but she hated to give away information about herself without anything in return; so she was kind of forced to continue the discussion. Of course, she could have simply pretended not to hear him, but that wouldn't have been very intelligent of her. She always wanted to 'test' people, seeing if they were easy to manipulate or/and steal. Perhaps this one had some money...
    Her dark auburn hair was hanging down her back, thick and lustrous. Vengeance was difficult to hold in place, but that wasn't that surprising: she probably sensed every monster in the forest, and that wasn't very reassuring, probably.

    "Ryan" he responded and watched her carefully, tempted to pace around her. He didn't know what to say, he wanted the girl to ask the next question, or mate the horse. Wait horses can't talk... Well maybe at camp they could.

    Lakisha hid her calculating thoughts behind a ravenous smile. She knew she could be very good at turning a boy's head.
    "And what are you doing out here... in the forest?" she asked.
    Vengeance was dancing under her, getting nervous, though there was no monster about to attack them.

    "looking around" Ryan simply replied as he noticed the horse getting jumpy. "why don't you dismount your horse?" he asked, curious. This girl was certainly....different

    "She might run away," Lakisha said. "She always gets rather nervous around the forest."
    Nonetheless, she passed her right leg over the saddle, drawing attention on its shapely form. She wouldn't dismount because of the distance and height it gave her; people would look up at her, instead of it being the other way round.
    "Looking around?" she asked a bit ironically, while the other part of her mind was analysing what he had said, and what it meant about him. "At 7am in the morning? By Hermes, you're the curious type, eh?"

    Ryan thought about what she had said and noticed she had taken a position on the horse to show off a bit. "yes, I guess you could say that. Curious or incredibly stupid" he smirked. He wouldn't tell her the real reason why. Nosire

    Lakisha knew he was lying to her. First off, like she said, nobody was 'looking around' at 7am, except for very excited new demigods that just arrived. Ryan was roughly her age, he could have been new, but she could see the signs of long training on his forearms, and the shape if his body. Besides, he had grabbed the hilt of his sword as if he had done it a dozen of times, so the training was evident. He indeed was lying to her.
    She was glad.
    Secretive people were all the funnier to manipulate, she unvolontarily thought, and she understood her 'Banshee' side had taken over for a few seconds.
    No, she told herself, calm down, you're not gonna manipulate this boy; besides it's none of your business what he's doing here.
    She smiled again, a more delicate, serene smile that parted her rosy lips, showing her nacre-white teeth and made her blue-and-green eyes sparkle.
    She was very proud of her eyes' different colors: one was blue, the other was green.
    Lakisha looked around; she didn't want to make this conversation last too long. She glid off her horse and walked to him.
    "Be careful," she whispered. "Not only because of the monsters..." she added, and handed him the drachma she had just retrieved from his pocket without his noticing.

    Ryan was about to reply to her comment when she handed him the golden coin, his golden coin. He smiled, slipping it in his pocket. "pickpocket" he grinned, looking slightly over her shoulder to see what was approaching them. He knew it couldn't be good news and moved his hand back to his hilt and grasped it, not saying anymore to warn her, or spook the horse. With his luck she would run off at the first site of the large creature and he would be left alone, fighting. As the creature crept closer, he noticed the scales that decorated its back. It was reptilian, most likely a drakon. Damn.

    He grinned at her, but she didn't smile back.
    Suddenly, she saw him grab the hilt of his sword, looking at something behind her. She spun around, her hair softly smacking the boy's chest.
    A drakon was creeping towards them. It was little in comparison to the two Lakisha had dealt with two years earlier, but it was still twelve respectable feet long, with sharp muddy green scales that scraped against the ground and blood-red eyes.
    Lakisha knew how to kill that one. It was no Lydia drakon, fortunately, but it still looked like a Thessalian one.
    She jumped back to Vengeance and the mare reared, but Lakisha jumped and grabbed the reins.
    "Don't screw with me now," she hissed as she effortlessly jumped into the saddle.
    She concentrated on her weapon, Chrymos, and made it turn out of sheer will into the usual ice pick, then threw it in the air and caught its middle. Now she had a long recurve bow of yew wood in her left hand, and the quiver, coated with black leather and lined by silver, had materialized in her back, held in place by a large leather strap that ran across her chest. It was wiser to have a bow when fighting a drakon than a dagger or a sword:if you wanted to attack the thing wit those weapons, you had to get close and the drakon would immediately bite you. Wth a bow, you could aim calmly and enjoy the security distance provides.
    The drakons's scales where to hard to shoot at them directly, she knew. The vulnerable part where the eyes, the nostrils and the inside of the mouth.
    Let's start with the eyes, then.
    She took two arrows out of her quiver. Those were special arrows:the tip wasn't smooth and pointed, but rectangular, sharp and carefully carved, so that if the victim should try to get it out, it would tear as much flesh as possible with it.
    She aimed the two arrows, and then the drakon started to spit its venom.
    Lakisha easily made Vengeance dodge it, and shooted -- too quickly.
    One arrow shot straight into the right eye, but the other one missed by an inch, now stuck in the creature's scaly eyelid.
    It shrieked with pain, and Lakisha could feel understanding. I wouldn't want to be in your place, mate.
    She carefully aimed another arrow at the left eye. If she hit it, the drakon would be an easy target, and she would finish it off easily.

    Ryan saw the drakon lunge and when it did he watched in slight awe at how the girl had easily stepped back and shot the beast. However, he moved as he watched, getting to the reptiles side and drawing his sword. The sword had a silver colored handle, and a black Stygian iron blade, dark as the pits of hell. He trie to get close to the monster, but it somehow sensed its presence and the tail came at him, smacking him into a tree.

    If the boy didn't have the crazy idea to get forth at that precise point, Lakisha could have made her shot. But the drakon smacked its tail at him as soon as he stepped forward, and now, it was moving towards him. Lakisha had to make it turn its head back to her, first, because otherwise it would kill the boy, and that isn't always a mouth-watering sight, and second, so she could shoot the left eye.
    She aimed again and shot her third arrow, but it bounced off the drakon's titanium-hard scales with doing any damage. She considered shooting at the right eye again, but she saw she didn't have the time, the drakon was about to snap at the boy.
    She shouted and kicked Vengeance's sides so hard the mare darted forward and broke into a dancing gallop. The drakon turned its head at the noise, and Lakisha jumped off. The giant head struck her with its side, but she held on the scales, and clenching the arrow in its eye as a hold.
    Lakisha managed to get on its neck, as if she was riding it. She slid forward, took out a random arrow out of her quiver, and smashed it as deep as possible in its left eye. A jet of green blood gushed out.
    The drakon shrieked and violently shook her off, and she struck the ground mightily. She thought the drakon would kill her, now she lay, helplessly, on the ground, but it didn't... In fact, she felt a big surge of warm air wave over her and when she looked back, she saw only ash on the ground.
    It's done, she thought. I killed it.
    She let herself rest some more seconds on the ground before getting up. Lakisha went to the boy and knelt beside him.
    "You okay?" she asked, taking her flask of ambroisia out of her pocket.

    Ryan groaned as he struggled to sit up, his back in severe pain since it had smashed against the trunk of a strong oak. Adding to that the dyrad that had resided in the tree came out and whopped him on the head. He shook his head, raising his right arm to wipe the blood from his lip as his left on propped him up.

    "that was mighty stupid of me" he told her, and welll himself as he looked at the charred remains of the beast. Honestly, he was shocked by how well the girl had done while he had simply gotten hurt

    Of course it was, she thought, even though she didn't say it. Opening the flask, she poured some into the boy's mouth.
    "Was it your first time fighting a drakon?" she asked, taking the flask away.

    He drank the sweet liquid down, but it almost brought tears to his eyes a the taste brought back memories. Finally he managed to look at her "yeah, it was actually." he groaned as he tried to move, but the ambrosia hadn't completely done its work

    "Shh! Don't move!" she told him.
    Lakisha put her right hand under his neck firmly, but without hurting him. His skin was warm against her icy fingers.
    She put the mouth of the flask against his lips and carefully poured a little of the liquid on his tongue, then watched his bruises. They healed slowly.
    "Just wait for another few seconds," she said, watching as the effect of the divine drink wore off after several seconds.
    She put the flask back in her pocket, then carefully put an arm around his back and lifted it some. Then Lakisha took a piece of ambroisia out of her other pocket (she always had nectar and ambrosia with her) and put it into his mouth.
    "Chew slowly," she told him. "Don't swallow everything at once, just bit by bit."
    She didn't know if he was really listening to her words, because most people listened to her voice. She had a very pleasant voice, she knew, something she held from her mother, even though Lakisha couldn't bend people to her way, like her.

    Ryan did as he was told asid carefully, yet slowly chewed the ambrosia. It tasted good against his tongue, like well....he couldn't place his finger on it. But it tasted amazing. He watched as his wounds healed slowly, everything healed slowly on himml for some treason. Finally he got the power to speak "I don't think ambrosia is going to fix my back"

    "Hush," she said. "You're making yourself bleed."
    Seeing the wounds on his back were the hard-to-heal-type, she took the nectar flask out of her pocket again. Then, she carefully took his blood-soaked shirt off.
    Lakisha made Ryan lie down on his belly and knelt beside him. She opened the nectar bottle and made several droplets fall on his major wounds, and massaged it in. Finally, the big wounds healed, yet there still were scars across his skin. She put some nectar on his other wounds, watched them heal, then handed him his shirt.
    "You'd better make no brisk move," she told him.

    He moved slowly, moving around to sit on his butt. "thanks" he mumbled as he looked at the scars and whatever remains of the wounds there were. He didn't know exactly what to tell the girl at all, nor how to properly thank her

    Lakisha remained at his side for some more seconds before standing up. He didn't seem to need her help anymore.
    She turned his back to him and went for her mare. After the initial fear, the horse stood now a bit further, grazing. Lakisha went to it, took its reins and attached it to a nearby oak.
    Then, she scanned the place where the combat had taken place. When a demigod killed a monster, it sometimes left a trophy behind... like a titanium-hard jacket. But no, she didn't see anythi-- Lakisha caught herself. There, on the ground, was something white... It was a fang.
    A drakon fang.
    Lakisha knew, for having seen it once in her life, that dragon and drakon teeth, when put in the ground gave birth to a blood-thirsty, uncontrollable soldier. They made remarkable weapons in a tight battle. Proud of herself, she was about to pocket it, when her eyes lingered on Ryan.
    The young woman went to him and handed him the fang.
    "Here," she said. "If you are in mortal danger and no help is coming, put this in the ground and tell whatever comes out to attack what's menacing your life."
    Lakisha didn't know why she was doing this. Normally she was rather... yeah, a bit selfish. Thinking about how best to manipulate people to make them fall her way, and so on. But when she saw the boy she had just healed... she just felt it was the right thing.

    Ryan placed his hand around the fang and smiled at her. "thanks, for everything. Without you I would be a goner" he told her as he stood slowly, still taking it easy. "maybe, if you would like we can spar later. Obviously after my wound heals up" he suggested

    Lakisha shrugged.
    "Yeah, perhaps. But if I were you, I'd read about monsters and the places where they can be wounded. That's the most important. Plus the technique, of course."
    She didn't want to get too intimate with that dude, because often they ended up wanting to date her, and the young woman wasn't really in the mood to flirt, right now.
