Training(Agrius, Lamia, Lycaeus)

[Holly]

I strolled into the arena casually. I glanced up at the sky. It was nearly noon. My knife was in it's sheath on my belt. My black hair was tied back in a ponytail so it wouldn't get in my face during training. I wore my camp half-blood t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I didn't like wearing armor. It was heavy and it slowed me down.

He had told me to give him a call... "Agrius? You here?"

[Agrius]

Agrius came out of the small shack in the corner of the arena. He had a large pile of swords in his arms. It was heavy... He put them all on the rack, dumping them with a relieved sigh that he didn't drop them all. "Hesphaestus kids did a new batch in the armory. It's for anyone new." He explained. "Lamia and Lycaeus should be here soon..." He had called them earlier.

[Lycaeus]

Just after Agrius finished his sentence, Lycaeus appeared in the clearing. He had vaulted off a tree branch in a blur of silver and landed. Lycaeus stood to his full height, looking behind him. He seemed a bit relieved. "Looks like I lost her."

Lycaeus turned his gaze to Agrius. He let out a small sigh. "Why would you call us? I'm too lazy to be doing anything..." He let out a small yawn and stretched.

[Lamia]

Lamia's voice shot out from the tree. She jumped up and landed outwards. She sent a kick as she spiraled down at Lycaeus. "Caught up to you! Who did you think would lose track of you?"

[Lycaeus]

"Wah!" Lycaeus turned around just in time to catch her foot with his hand. Nonetheless, she had jumped from a tree, and the impact was solid, so he landed on his back and slid across the sandy arena painfully. Or it looked painful. Lycaeus was pretty used to getting sent flying with one of Lamia's kicks. He sat up angrily, yelling at Lamia. "Why'd you have to kick me so hard?! You could have really injured me!"

[Agrius]

They were really hopeless after all. Agrees sighed and shook his head. Before Lamia could return and start a full blown argument, he stepped in front and helped Lycaeus up. "Stop fighting, you two, we have something to do today."

[Holly]

I was amused with how they always managed to turn any small thing into a fight. "Hey, you guys." I glanced at Agrius for him to continue.

[Lycaeus]

Lycaeus crossed his arms with a huff, looking at Agrius. When did youngster demigods get to tell them what to do? He looked at Holly sideways. Then he just grinned his usual cheerful grin and let it go.

[Holly]

I raised an eyebrow at Lycaeus's sudden change in mood. It was like how he was happy and cheerful, then Lamia attacks him, and he gets angry, then gets all casual again. It was weird.

[Agrius]

Agrius shook his head. "Lamia, you'll go with Holly first. Do all the taunting you want. Note that she gets stronger and loses control when she's angry, so don't go too easy. Watch yourself. Holly, I want you to try and control your anger while you're fighting."

[Holly]

I frowned. "Try to control it? Then I'll be letting my guard down while I concentrate!"

[Agrius]

Agrees thought for a moment, then turned to Lamia. "No killing intent." He looked back at Holly with a small encouraging smile. "Have some faith in yourself."

[Holly]

I crossed my arms. "Fine. I'll try." And no killing intent? Well, I had seen her attack Lycaeus...

[Lamia]

Lamia sighed at Agrius, "Stop telling me what to do. Someone like her isn't worth killing." Her green eyes were mocking at Holly. She was starting the training now. To see if just a small taunt would cause her to lose her cool and attack.

[Holly]

So it was starting? I crossed my arms over my chest and didn't say anything.
