Capture the Flag

I waited impatiently outsided the Khione Cabin for Jake. He was claimed the day before and moved all his stuff there the same night. Capture the Flag was going to be the next day and I agreed to show Jake some tricks with the bow and some traps he could do in the game.

He walked out of the cabin with dark blue jeans, white shirt and silver tennis. "What took you so long?" I asked.

"I couldn't find my toothbrush" he replied while he scratched the back of his head. "So where to?"

"Hmm...I don't know, you tell me"

"Let's go to ther Forest," he said "We're playing there so might as well start practicing there."

"Okay" I simply said then we started walking to the forest.

"Umm...can I ask you something?" Jake said awkwardly.

"Umm...sure" I answered.

"Am I the first kid of Khione?" he said seriously. "I heard she is...a...umm...bad god"

"Well, you're not the first we had two kids a couple of years ago. One of the died and the other I am not quiet sure, I think he joined a demigod team or something."

"So is she a bad god?"

"Well..." I didn't know how to explain it to him without saying that his mom wanted to destroy most of the gods who weren't sided with Gaea. "She just was on the wrong side in the Gaea War"

"I heard a lot about this Gaea War" he said after a couple of seconds."It was pretty bad wasn't it?"

"Well I was two years old when it happened so I have no idea but from what I heard," she answered."There were a lot of deaths."

We walked into the forest and I took out my bow and he took out the one he borrowed. I showed him the basic things which was how to hold the bow and well basically how to use it. We saw a giant scorpion pass by and we stood there as quietly as we could so he wouldn't hear us.

"Can I shoot it?" whispered Jake.

"Well it looks like it alone and be sure to shoot at his face or the spots that aren't covered with his hard skin." I told him.

The Giant Scorpion stopped and started looking at us with deathly eyes. "I think he spotted us" Jake whispered.

"Shoot it" I whispered back.

Jake shot the arrow at his face but the scorpion moved after he shot the arrow. The arrow hit his body and the Scorpion started yelling madly,

"I think he's mad" said Jake.
