    Lindia sighed as her hand reached across her body to grip the pommel of her golden Gladius, swinging it free from its confines and into the air of the empty armory. Letting the blade glint in the shallow light for a moment she examined it, the tool suffering some small imperfections from combat, over and over again. This was her primary purpose to why she was here as she began to care for the blade, grabbing a sharpening stone and beginning to hone the edge of her favorite weapon, not counting her brass knuckles which sat in the back pockets of her skinny black jeans.
    The second reason she had come to the armory was the quiet, the peace, to be surrounded with silent instruments of destruction and tools. Exhaling with each pass of the stone, her signature smirk appeared on the thin lips of the blue eyed daughter of trivia, the blade of her weapon sharp enough to draw blood of a God if needed.

    Kyungsuk hadn't been to Camp Jupiter in a while. And gods, how she'd missed it. While it wasn't as home-y as Camp Half-Blood, it was much more impressive. The layout of the military camp, the echo of stomping hobnail boots, the gleaming standards... Here, she really felt part of something larger. It wasn't just a fun summer camp for teenagers, it was a rigorous training facility.

    The daughter of Nemesis was returning to New Rome after spending the holidays in South Korea. She was finishing her studies in criminal law - or, as she likes to call it, Slaps on the Wrists 101 - at the University of New Rome. But she wasn't strolling into the Armory for nothing. No, she was looking for someone.

    See, Kyungsuk had spent time in the Legion herself. She had been part of the exchange program between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, where Greek demigods could go serve in the 12th and Roman demigods could go experience camp life. It was a fun vacation for the latter, a smack in the face for the former. It was hard to get accustomed to the tight schedules and rigorous discipline of the Roman legion when you had spent your life in blissful Greek chaos.
    But because Nemesis was a Graeco-Roman goddess, Kyungsuk hadn't felt a huge mythological rift. There was no Greek Nemesis and Roman Nemesis. They were one and the same goddess. Vengeance, as she said, is universal.
    Needless to say, the Legion had been a wonderful experience. She had been assigned to the 1st Cohort, gotten her tattoos and everything.
    During her time in the 12th, she had made a couple of friends here and there, even dated someone for a bit. But there was one girl she had really clicked with - her barrack mate Lindia Inetia, daughter of Trivia. Now Lindia was what people usually call a menace. Imagine a biker chick with the powers to curse you to oblivion and the complete and utter inability to feel bad about it. Now add to that the sword skills of a killer and the general vibe of a punk rock alt girl and you have a pretty good idea of who Lindia is as a person.
    Yep, Kyungsuk loves her. They had spent so much time training, strategizing and saving each other from stupid shit that they practically shared a braincell. On top of that, Lindia and her had deep 2 am discussions about feminism, misogyny and violence against women. They often daydreamed about cutting themselves off from civilisation and starting an all-female commune somewhere. Kyungsuk was only half-joking.

    "Knew I would find you here," she said, leaning against the door frame.

    Lindia heard the door open behind her, then the shuffling of feet which made her blue eyes dart to examine her peripheral vision. Seeing only a glimpse of a silhouette she turned, blade held defensively until in that fraction of a second she realized who had entered. A smile crossed her face, only a faint one as she set her blade down to the side and crossed her arms over her chest.
    "Well, well, well. Look what the God's have dropped before me today" She said dryly, although her eyes revealed the truth. Between them was not a drop of bad blood, but bonded sisterhood over like ideas and traits, the both of them strong and resolute against the patriarchal nature of the world that Lindia so deeply loathed.
    Stepping closer she moved gracefully like a cat, balancing on the heels of her leather biker boots until she was only a few mere inches from the other demigod. Here she stood, her lips turned into her trademark smirk, hand resting against her hip as she examined, watched, waited for the next words to fill the room. The magic within the room swelled, power radiating off of the daughter of Trivia as she tilted her chin, admiring and examining the Korean girl.

    Kyungsuk felt the air shivering with magic. Kind of like electricity but smoother, foggier. It was a delicious feeling that filled her with adrenaline. She grinned at the daughter of Trivia and clasped her hand in greeting. "I've missed my partner in retribution," she said. "What have you been up to? C*strated anyone lately?"

    It was a running joke between the two of them. It had started when a guy had cat-called them in San Francisco a few years ago, commenting on their adolescent bodies and making really obscene gestures at them. Kyungsuk had immediately replied by mimicking a pair of scissors. Snip snip b*stard. It was funny how cat-callers could dish it out but not take it. The two had then started doing the same with other men who harassed them, both in and out of camp, sometimes throwing in their powers as well. It was exhilarating to watch gross dudes shrink back at the experience of their own past abuse or flinch under the influence of a spell.
    This was why Kyungsuk and Lindia made such a great team.
