Gemini Randa - Arena - Student vs Teacher, Gemini's Struggle
It's been cloudy ever since I got to camp, but now, now I was ticked off, instead of dull gray clouds looking like it's about to rain. They were stormy gray like a thunderstorm was about to happen again. The eye of the storm hovered over the arena where I cut down straw dummy after straw dummy, taking all my anger out on the dummies. Chiron would say this was a great way to let out my anger, but nothing could stop the burning flame of hatred in my heart. I stood there sweating as my breathed heavily, sweat dripping down my face as I saw the destruction of straw dummies laid on the ground.
"It's nice to see your fighting prowess hasn't declined in the time you have been away from Camp," I heard behind me.
I turned to see Chiron that old centaur, he hasn't changed a bit in the last five years. He was scratching his beard thoughtfully as he looked at me. I noticed there was a bow and arrow on his back, and two swords strapped to his side, wonderful, I may have to fight my teacher.
"Only way to keep my anger from destroying the camp," I said pointing to the sky.
"I can see, your emotions have been affecting the weather ever since your arrived at Camp," he says.
"Not much I could do about it," I said.
I kept my hand on my sword and drawn, the last I need is to be weaponless right as Chiron attacks, I never take my eyes off him, I watch him out of the corner of my eye as I go to sit down and rest.
"So what do you want Chiron?" I asked.
"I was hoping to discuss the over dozen bodies you've left in your wake last night, and the hundred some burned campers you've wounded," he said.
"Not my problem, when I get ticked, people get hurt," I said.
"It is your problem, where ever you go, you hurt people and-"
"And what?"
"And I cannot let you go on like this, Alexis and Abriella have failed to turn you from your path and protect the Campers from your wrath. Gemini, I am sorry, but I must end your life for the sake of the Gods." he said.
And just like that, even Chiron had betrayed me, first Lexi, then Abri, now Chiron, what would it take to have her old friends back? why is everyone turning on me? why? why? why?! Prometheus' voice played in my head, the words he had said that I didn't want to believe.
"Everyone will betray you Gemini, no one outside of the Juggernauts will stand with you, in the end, there is only you and the Juggernauts destined to do what no one wants to happen."
"Chiron, don't please, I don't want to fight you," I said.
Chiron drew his bow from his back and an arrow from his quiver, my grip on my blade tightened as I tried to keep my emotions under control as I felt tears welling up in my eyes. No, I will not cry here, not in front of him.
"I am sorry Gemini, but this must be done," he said.
I heard the arrow fly, but before it found it's target, I looked up and a thunderbolt hit it, sending it to the ground. I reluctantly took my blade into both my hands as Chiron reloaded his bow, he fires again but I block his arrow with my blade. I knew what I had to do, I just wish it wouldn't be this hard to do it.
