Alex Oberon's Challenges (The Olympian Games)

First Challenge
Alex's POV

I opened my eyes to see nothing. There was absolutely no light, anywhere. I searched my pockets, but I had no weapons. My backpack wasn't here either.

Hera sucks.

I started to sweat. Whatever I was facing was coming soon, because Hera couldn't leave me here forever. I started to walk slowly, hoping I could find something to lean on or touch. Judging by the temperature and texture of the ground, I was in a cave.

I then awkwardly hit my head on a stalagtite. I held my hand up, and there were a ton of loose pieces of rock. When I realized what they were, I yanked them off, created a loud crack and giving me a weapon.

Then I heard a soft growling.

I slowly angled my ears, hoping I would be able to tell where exactly it was coming from. Then there were loud footsteps. Well, more like paw steps.

I braced myself, and got ready to throw my stalagtite.

Then there was a deafening roar, a lion's roar.

The Nemean Lion.

I gave a powerful leap across the cave, and I landed on the other wall. There was a loud crunch as the Lion hit its head on the wall.

I pulled off another stalagtite and pounded the wall next to me. I heard the Lion punce of the wall, and it hit area right next to my face,

It shook its head and I got the stalagtite, trying to hit its mouth. But I guess I didn't, because there was nother roar and a paw swiped through the air in front of me. I leapt away, and decided I needed to use my powers now.

I held out my palms towards the sound of the lion's breathing and released a blue jet.

The comet like explosion of energy lit up the room, and I watched as the golden lion was thrown ten feet away. Somehow, the room still glowed from the energy, and the lion spotted me.

I bolted away as the lion chased me through the endless tunnel. I looked up and made sure that the ceiling was tall enough for me to perform my stunt.

I waited a second, and then did a back flip over the lions head. I landed about twenty feet behind the lion, which kept running in the opposite direction.

I took the few spare seconds to figure out a plan, and got ready.

I released an elve that created a circle of red energy around my body, and making everythin ahead of me glow like day.

The lion turned around like a cat and barreled towards me angrily. I then summoned up all of my energy, and when the lion was ten feet away, I released a sprite.

Fiery tendrils of red and purple light erupted towards it. I watched as they circled the lions body and it was covered in flames. I looked and saw that it's mouth was glowing from the fire.

I then created powerful winds around me that ripped the stalagtites off of the ceiling, and I made them go to top speeds. Once they were fast enough, I released, and the lion's mputh was impaled with multiple pieaces of silvery rock.

I watched as it's body flattened, leavind a golden hoodie jacket behind. I looked at it and gingerly put it on, wondering if I looked good. And then, I was teleported back to Olympus.

This place was much to small to fight in.
