Who dares to challenge me?

[Dominic Jones]

Location: Morpheus Cabin

Santos rarely sleeped. Most people didn't find this strange. Untill they discovered his parentage. After all. Wouldn't expect a son of the God of Dreams to spend quite a bit of time sleeping. But he didn't. So it was no suprise that as soon as curfew was over, he dived under his bed, grabbed his armour and Blade and strapped them on. As soon as he was ready, he sped out the door and was on his way.

Location: Sword Arena

Arriving at the arena, Santos pushed open the gate, and disspeared inside. Seeing as how it was still pretty early, Santos wasn't suprised to find that no-one else was there. So instead he crossed to the supply shed, and grabbed the dummys. Setting them up, his mind automaticly went onto autopilot. Slash swerve, parry, and thrust Within minutes, the ground was littered with broken wood and straw. As he went about collecting them, he thought he heard a sound. Pushing the debris to one side, he unshethed his blade and slowly walked toward the gate, ready to suprise whoever was coming in.

Serena had been excited since she entered the camp, there had been many different activities that could be played, and many campers that she hadn't me.. at least not yet. She noticed a large arena and guessed it was for Demi-Gods to practice their battling skills and power. Feeling curious, she decided to explore the arena, that she supposed was empty due to not many campers being up yet. Noticing that the gate was already pushed aside she stepped into the arena..unknowing of the other occupant. She noticed a figure approaching her, and also saw an item in their hand. She wearily asked out, ''Who...Who's there?'',

[Dominic Jones]

Santos heard the voice call out. It sounded nervous. It also sounded female and new. Normaly he would play some kind of prank, but she had already seen him, and it was to early to improvise something. So instead he decided to be kind. He sheathed his blade, and approched the girl. He gave his trademark, cocky smile, offered the girl his hand, and introduced himself."I'm Santos J. Ramos, Son of Morpheus. You are?

[Jacob Adams]

Serena heard the sound of a sword being sheathed and turned toward the origin of it. Stepping out of the shadows, was a boy. She shook his hand as he introduced himself as Santos Ramos, a son of Morpheus. She breathed a sigh of relief as she introduced herself. ''I'm Serena Hill, daughter of Hermes'', she explained as she realized something. ''Wait, if you're a son of Morpheus, shouldn't you be asleep?".

[Dominic Jones]

"Nice to meet you Serena." He listened as she explained the though on her mind. Once finished, he adopted a look of mock anger, and put on his best angry voice. "That's exactly the type of stereotype that I hate. You assume that because my father is the God of dreams, and my grandfather is the God of sleep, then I would spend my day doing nothing but sleeping and dreaming. Well you're wrong." He ended. He then crossed his arms and said, "Asteiév̱omai. Asteiév̱omai.(I joke. I joke) In all seriousness, I've never really enjoyed sleeping. I've always enjoyed being awake. But that doesn't stop me putting other people to sleep." He said with a smile and a wink, chuckling slightly.

[Jacob Adams]

Serena put her hands up in defense when Santos explained that he hated when people spoke that way about him. She sighed when he exclaimed that he was joking, and that he never really enjoyed sleeping, although he didn't mind putting people to sleep. She immediately saw the look on his face when he said his last comment. She chuckled and exclaimed, ''Remind me to never tick you off''

[Dominic Jones]

Santos couldn't help but laugh when she began to defend herself. After explaining himself, and hearing her remark, he smiled and said, " Don't worry. You'll find it near impossible to tick me of." Santos then looked around at the near empty sword arena, pulled out his blade, spun it in his hand a couple of times, then looked at Serena and asked, "Got your stuff for capture the flag yet?"

[Jacob Adams]

Serena breathed a sigh of relief after he explained that it was near impossible to tick him off. She watched as he looked around the arena before pulling out his blade, spinning it a few times, then asking her if she was ready for capture the flag. She rubbed the back of her head and chuckled, ''I just arrived yesterday and the only places I've been to, are my cabin and this arena''.

[Dominic Jones]

"Hmm. Usually you'd get kitted out by Chiron, or a child of Ares. But since none of them are awake right now, I'll do it." With that he headed to the equipment shed and motioned for her to follow. When they arrived, he asked, "Now, are you left or right handed?" When she answered, he took a short, balenced, broadsword of the wall, handed it to her, and asked, "How does that feel?"

[Jacob Adams]

She followed him toward what looked like an equipment shed. When he asked, she answered that she was right-handed and was handed a broadsword. When he questioned how it felt, she practiced some moves before answering, ''It feels alright, Thanks.''

[Dominic Jones]

Santos watched the girl swing the blade a few times, before answering that it was fine. He gave a smile, and replied, "Excellent. Here's its sheath." he said, handing her a simple wooded scabbard, with a picture of a Caduceus on it."Right." he said, clapping his hands together, rather loudly and quickly, "Next up, we need to get your amour sorted. So. What are your chest and waist measurements?" he asked. After the replie, he said, "Ok. If you try and find some, shingaurds and bracers, from that pile over there.." pointing to small piles, "...I'll try to find you a breastplate." He said, walking over to a different pile.

[Jacob Adams]

Serena took the sheath and sheathed her broadsword. She looked at the symbol that was on it, and noticed that it was a Caduceus. She smiled, knowing that it was the symbol of her father. She gave him her measurements, and went to look for shin guards and bracers as he went to look for a breast plate. She searched the pile for a few minutes, before finding ones that fit her. She returned to the spot where they had been, before asking if he needed any help.

[Dominic Jones]

A couple of minutes after sending her of to find some greaves and bracers, she returned with some, asking if he needed some help."No, because, I've, got, one, here." he said, extracting a breast plate from the pile, and moving toward her. "Here. Let me help you get it on." he said, putting the front one on, then the back one, and tyeing the two together with the strings at the bottem. "There you go. Now. How about we put it all to good use?" he asked, drawing his own blade, and making sure his own armour was secure.

[Jacob Adams]

Serena helped tie on her armor and then unsheathed her sword. Making sure her armor was tight she focused her attention back on Santos and answered, ''All right. I'm game". She took a stance and prepared herself for the battle.

[Dominic Jones]

Santos gave a grin. She had accepted his challenge. It was getting difficult to find anyone who would do that now. Then again, when you had a blade that put you to sleep as soon as the metal hit you, well armour was no use against it. The magic completely ignored the armour. "You know, it's only fair to warn you. If this blade does make contact with you, it'll be night out for you." With the warning out of the way, he went for Serena, his blade going this way and that, trying to find am opening in her defences.

[Jacob Adams]

Serena's face slightly fell when she discovered the secret to Santos' blade. Alright, now I know the secret to his blade. It makes a lot of sense since anything involved with sleep is his specialty. Serena thought to herself before turning her attention back to the beginning if the battle. She immediately went on the defense when he started taking the offense, trying to look for an opening in her armor. She continued trying to counter his offensive attacks while trying some of her own.

[Dominic Jones]

For a new girl, she had some pretty good moves. Then again, she was a demigod. That ment that even if she had never handeled a blade before in her life, she had inbuilt instincts that were going to help. But he still a slight advantage. He had been honeing his own instincts for the past couple've months. So after a couple more mintues attacking and blocking, he managed to find an opening in her defence, and he struck. As he had warned her, as soon as the blade conected, the magic began its work. A feeling of drowsiness came over her and within seconds, she was on the floor out cold. Santos smiled. She might not be to keen to spar again. Most people only did once. Leaning over her body, he muttered something in Greek, a prayer to his father, and she slowly came to. "Well done. That wasn't to bad for a first-timer."

[Jacob Adams]

Serena smirked as she continued to hold her own in the battle. Even though, she was backed up by her demigod abilities, she was still impressed by how good she was doing. However, the battle came to an end when he found an opening in her armor, and in a few seconds, she was out cold. She was actually quite comfortable sleeping, when he muttered some things in Greek, and she awoke again. When he praised how well she had done, she responded with a ''Thanks. I guess I still have a lot to practice, if I ever want to practice again''. She stood up and stretched a little, ''I guess that does it for me here, I still need to check out the rest of the camp.''
