Caleb

He’d overslept that morning, and because of that, he’d missed training and been stuck with the Ares team. Apollo would be furious if he found out, after all, his favourite son was fighting on the team which usually comprised of the dodgier kids.

Caleb let out a sigh as Leona stood up with both flags and one of the new Athena girls – Chelsea, he thought her name was – yelled something about that being against the rules. Caleb sighed and took off his watch and pulled out his phone, hooking his phone over his shoulder as it became a quiver and drawing an arrow in his bow and firing it.

The arrow struck the shaft of one of the flags just below Leona’s hand, and she released it with a yelp, “Grab that!” he shouted to his teammates, even as he notched another arrow to his bow, ready to fire.

You do realize that's been changed by now, Billy?

Sorry I'm posting in the middle of the story book, Threnody said I could join late.

Name: Nate Long

Age: 15

Gender: male
Appearance: White blond, Army short hair, has an imposing sharp face. Lean and muscled, and about 5'9.
God: None. Nate is a mortal with the rare ability to see through the Mist. ( this is part of the deal with Threnody, the Mist by the way, is a reference to the fact that 99.9999% of mortals see something else when immortals fight or do un-meremortal things in the Half Blood series)

Personality: Quite, observant, and withdrawn. Not actually unfriendly. Takes some digging top get him out of his shell.
Other Skills: Good shot with weapons, a thief and an expert picklock.
Fatal Flaw: His paranoia. Doesn't tell the authority's what he should.
Other: Up for love.
Weapon: Small revolver that he keeps in side his coat. Uneffective against anything super natural. He is currently looking for ammunition that is.
Brief History- True parents died when he was about 10, lived with a foster home. Hated it, left for a life of crime. First saw something paranormal when he was hanging out with a friend at a corner. A large minotaur attacked and shredded his friends to pieces. Scarred. Currently trying to find out what these paranormal beasts are. NO idea that any of this has a connection to Olympian Gods.

RYAN-ZUES~~

I knew my teammates would be close to the flag by now so i was fighting harder. I wiped out both swords and charged them with electricity. Then i i began to spin like a tornado, my shocks making the kids fall. Then suddenly i felt a point in my armours chink. I looked around to see an ares kid holding a spear to me.

"don't move kid, this is electricfied, one move and your fried" he spoke in my ear with a putrid breath.

"oh electrified huh" i sad then whipped around feeling the shock come into me. I felt the power come into me and i struck the boy who was two years older then me. "i'm the son of zeus bone head, i crave electricity in my veins" then i turned to see wave raise out of the lake and fire envelope the woods. Then a grove of vines shot up. i looked around cautiously. The group around me had not fought yet and so were ready, and the bodies on the floor were most of the forces knocked out. I gestured a few of the bone men guards who cleaned the bodies and guarded the, Then i charged with the others.

I got there to see the elements raging around me. I saw Chelsy fighting a few ares kids with mini tsunamis. I quickly took advantage of the wet kids giving them a jolt which made them all fall but one. I hoped down motioned Chelsy to go then i matched off with the remaining boy.

*OMG I have no clue where to put myself in. You people post fast.*

**Right, sorry. I started that post before it had been, I was in class so I didn't really get a chance to check if there had been any other changes.**

Caleb - Apollo

Capture the Flag was always enjoyable, even if Caleb was stuck on the Ares team this time around. His father would give him hell for this if he found out, especially for the fact that it had been cause by oversleeping on his part. He could almost imagine the lecture now. My son should not sleep in! You and I are meant to be perfect, everything is done exactly on time. Why do you think I'm the sun god?

Living up to perfection wasn't easy, even if he was his father's son in many ways.

He saw Ryan and Chelsea - who were usually team mates of his, approaching him, Ryan's hands crackling with electricity, Chelsea seeming to be ready to wash him away at any moment. He weighed his options, he might be able to bring one down with an arrow, but then the other would have him.

He focused, letting the light of the sun pour out of him, his body becoming barely distinguishable in the pure white light that surrounded him.

Mikael-Ares

"Ok im confused. Who do i punch again?" i asked. Why were these plans always so complicated? War was supposed to be spontaneous and fun down to who was stronger. Then some genius cam up with strategy. Oh well, i thought, at least i get to break some people. This could be a good day.

*Amon, I second that. Yeesh, this was only on two pages the last time I checked. Is it possible for someone to make an opening so Amon and I can post?*

8And can you add Gwen to that?*

*okie dokie guys. I'll do my best...a little new to storybooks lol Just so you know, Athena (theres two of us), Demeter, Hades, and Hermes are on the same team. The other team is Zeus, Posiedon, Aphrodite, Dionysus and Apollo...If i missed anyone, please forgive me.*

Shannon - Athena

As soon as I got finished talking to Leona, I suddenly felt two ropes slither around my feet. I looked down to see that they weren't ropes at all. They were vines with small thorns around them.

"Ahh!" I yelped as the thorns penetrated my jeans and scratched my skin. The ropes tightened around my ankles and made me fall down. Then, I could see my attackor. It was that Erik guy. The Dionysus child. I swiftly got my sword out and used it to break the vines. I then propelled myself off of the ground and gave him an education in sword fighting he'll never forget. Strategy is key. I on purposely hit him in the right places at the exactly right time. Erik was losing. But then, something strange happened.

I began to see things. My head started to throb. Then, I remembered that Erik could make people hallucinate. I cursed under my breath, holding my forehead in pain. Pink elephants started to dance around me...

Before I completely blacked out, I tried to yell to Henry to fight Erik. He was Herme's child and could fly. Excellent. Strategy is key.

*Sorry, TeddyBear! I couldn't find a place to fit you*

Henery~

I flew over head avoiding Erik's vines. I moved through the air too fast for Erik to catch keep track of me. I swooped down and Zipped through the air. I was only the distraction I now saw my teammate sneak up on Erik.

RYAN- Zeus~~

"me you idiot" i spoke as i charged Mikael. I slashed my swords at him but he dodged then hit me in the stomach. Though his arm retreated in pain from hitting my hard amour. Then i blasted electricity at him again and this time he let out a whimper from pain.

Mikael-Ares

"Damn you" i roared before laying into his chest again denting it repeatedly. Then i was blasted off my feet by a lightning bolt. I got up again and chased after the boy. Ryan i think his name was but right now that wasn't important. I picked up a boulder and flung it as hard as i could knocking the boy down and giving me a breif sense of pleasure. I ran over and picked him up before hurling into a tree. In return he hit me squarely with another lightning bolt but this time i just shrugged it off. "Come on mini-zeus suck it up. What would your dad say?" i asked before our fight continued.

*Ares is on Athena's side? I guess that's right since Zeus just electrified him...*

Shannon - Athena

Yes. Thank Olympus that the pink elephants finally went away. I guessed it had only been about two minutes; Erik isn't as powerful as I thought he was. Yet I have to hand it to him, playing with people's minds is pretty awesome. I regained my composure and ran over to Henry as he was flying around Erik.

"Ha, you thought you could finish me, did you? No one beats Shannon. Especially when she's got a sword" I said, coming up behind him. Erik spun around quickly at the sound of my voice, obviously surprised. A little dizzy from watching Henry fly above him, Erik was easy to beat.

With a slash from my sword, Erik fell to the ground.

I could feel cold sweat drip down my forehead and groaned when I heard a whimper.

Did I have to do everything? I hoped Lizze, Leona, and Jenny would be back soon carrying the flags. But for now, I had to go save a teammate.

A few feet away in the distance, Mikael, Ares's kid, laid on his back in pain. Ryan stood above him cackling with glee at his easy victim. Lightening crackled at his hands.

I crouched down slowly behind Ryan in the bushes and slowly started walking. He was too busy mocking Mikael on the ground that he didn't hear me.
"Gotcha!" I got up behind Ryan and made my move with my sword. Strategy is key, I whispered.

EDIT: Sorry Skull, didn't see your post that Mikael got back up etc...I kinda made you all hopeless laying on the ground. lol I hope you don't mind. ^^

*I can add her in! If you don't mind getting caught......

Grr, not again. Okay, my old post is pretty much scratched out.*

Leona/Demeter

Perfume hit me long before the trees told me where everybody was. Rose scented perfume. Perfect. Gwen was right around the corner.

I sent rose vines around her body, not bothering to tighten them.

I waved my finger. "Careful. If you move, those thorns might scratch your pretty skin." I couldn't stand Gwen. She was always in front of her mirror. I didn't think her hands had a single callous from working. She certainly used enough hand-lotion to keep it that way.

I whipped my bandanna off my head and sent two thorns in her direction. "I said, don't move."
