After breakfast, I went to train with swords, with Nico, the Hermes cabin, Percy, Niall and the Ares cabin.

We were put into partner's.

Nico had given me my own sword, it was as black as midnight, I'd forgotten what Nico had called it but it fitted my hand perfectly.

Niall had found a long thin Rapier sword, it wasn't perfect but it would do, we were partner's.

Harry took around 15 minute's trying to find a balanced weapon, he came out looking disgruntled holding another type of rapier sword but I could tell that this sword was again not balanced for him, it was top heavy.

He was with a girl from the Ares cabin. I hoped she would go easy on him as his weapon wasn't up to scratch. I didn't know Harry but he was friends with Niall and anyone that got on with Niall was a friend of mine as well.

I turned to Niall sword at the ready. "Ready Roman guy?"

Niall shot me an annoyed look, but he smiled at the end to show he didn't mean it "Always"

We fought.

Niall struck first and I blocked quickly, are swords clashed, sparks flew and I tried to twist the sword out of his hand using my own sword, but he stepped backwards and took another swipe at my left side, I blocked again. Then I started attacking, quickly after that, I knew I had the upper hand as I seemed to be attacking a lot more, but what ever position I got him in, he seemed to be able to get out of it. It was one of the most frustration thing, I'd think I won then he pulled some tricky move and we were back to square one.

After about an hour, there still was no winner, sweat was pouring down on both on us, we were both tired but no one would give in till Percy blue a whistle and everyone stopped to give him our full attention.

"Draw?" I asked Niall.

Niall nodded.

I looked around, Percy's partner was Nico, who didn't look tired at all, mind you neither did Percy, how were they not tired out? We'd been at this for an hour for gods sake!

I saw Harry getting up from the ground, he was glaring at his sword and Ares girl was sneering, I'm guessing the weapon hadn't worked out for him, he even had a couple of cuts on his arms and his clothes were covered in mud, I guessed this must not be the first time he'd been on the ground in this lesson.

"Okay class, time over, it was just practicing today, but tommorow we will be going over some of the move's, you can have a break, then you'll be split into different class's" Percy said and he walked of quickly heading to Chiron's cabin, Annebeth was waiting for him and Niall decided to follow him.

Nico walked up to me, smiling.

I was still panting "How are you not puffed out? Did you and Percy take a picnic while we were fighting?"

Nico laughed "Na, you get used to it after awhile beside's Hades kids tend to take a lot to be out of breath"

I groaned "Ugh, I'm so unfit"

Nico said "Nope, just don't get so frustrated in fights, that's why it took alot out of you"

"Still..." I grumbled.

CRASH! we ran to the weaponry, we're the sound had come from.

Harry was lying on the ground with some sort of staff lying on top of him.

"What happened?" Nico asked.

Harry pushed the staff of off him looking very shocked "I don't know, I was putting the sword back, and this just fell on top of me"

My eyes widened as I saw the patterns of stars and galaxy's calved into the staff and a crumpled label was on the it.

"Look" I said.

Harry snatched the label of off the staff and scanned it, afterwards he smiled grinning, he looked overjoyed and shocked, slowly he took the staff, holding it easily but gently.

"It's mine" he mumbled still in shock.

I took the label and started to read out loud "This is called the black hole, it has an added feature to help you, it is for my son Harry Styles, I thought you needed a weapon after that terrible sword play, no offence, Ps-"

Suddenly Nico gave a yelp as he touched it and electric dance of the Staff on to him, his hands had turned a red raw colour, he grimaced.

I started to read again "Ps, it will burn anyone who touches it without your willing consent".

Nico scowled rubbing his burnt hands "You could of told me that sooner bro"

I said sheepishly "Um, sorry?"



What do you think? Please let me know :)
