Today Darius' first full day at Camp Half blood, it was all a lot to take in, he had always been an only child, and now he had six half brothers and sisters, all in worst moods than him. He didn't feel comfortable his cabin, he spent all night talking and sparring with his father, he was hands down the most skilled opponent he had ever fought. Darius only returned to his cabin, to clean himself up and change, he splashed his face with water and stared into the mirror with his amber eyes, over and over in his head he repeated, “Strength and honor”. His concentration was broken when he felt some pain on his left arm; his father had marked him with the symbol of the spear, about the only thing he had ever given him.
Darius quickly left the cabin, putting on his armour, grabbing his spear, and shield. He leapt off the steps and dropped into a quick trot, some people stopped to look at him; it sucked to be the new guy. When he got to the Arena he immediately felt at home, he trust the staff of his spear into the ground, and began to tighten his grieves, awaiting his first opponent.

As Dream dragged herself out of bed the next morning she felt her sore limbs stretch underneath her pale skin. She had worked all the previous day on a battle strategy that she was dying to try out.
She looked in the mirror and let out an angry grunt. She truly looked like crap. She ran a brush through her tangles hair and put it into a ponytail. She then added some concealer to make her look less pale. Dream realized that she was probably going to get a cold soon. She could just tell by the way her eyes drooped.
She shook her head and quickly changed. She decided on a pair of skinny jeans with black boots and a pink turtleneck sweater. She grinned at herself before adding a bit of eyeshadow and lip gloss to her face. She still looked a bit pale but she shrugged it off. She was nowready to try out her new strategy.
She exited her cabin and quickly walked towards the arena. As she entered she looked around she tried to find the perfect opponent. She grinned as she saw a boy, obviously new, warming up for battle. She quickly approached him. "Hello there" Dream said, giving him a warm grin.

Darius turned around and returned the girls smile, giving her a gracious nod, he then returned to fixing his armour, Darius didn’t think the girl was challenging him by the way she was dressed, he could tell she took the time to look nice today, someone hoping for a fight would not have been so thorough, she had to be here just to watch, or maybe she was one of those annoying daughters of Aphrodite, trying to pick up a date. Darius decided to continue to prepare his gear, sheathing on both his swords on his back, and his shield over them, he pulled his hair band off, he would not need it, as it was for keeping his hair from snagging while he slept.
Darius turned a group of kids were on their way, some of them dressed for practice, it was time and grabbed his spear and knelt, he gave a quick prayer to strength to his father and stood, waiting for someone to challenge him.

Dream let out an annoyed grunt as he walked away from her. Shee waited for him to stand up before talking. She pulled her sword off the nearby rack and approached him. "Did you walk away because your afraid to fight me?" Dream asked more scornfully then she meant to. She quickly blinked and raised her eyebrows questioningly at him.

Darius stopped in his tracked, he turned around to the once pleasant girl, She really did just say that, she could have asked for a match, she could have just walked into the ring, and he would have followed, but know she had to disrespect him, by calling him afraid, in other words a coward. All Darius could do was chuckle, and he again turned back around, he would show her a coward. A short moment passed and Darius whipped around, sending his spear screeching by her head and embedding in the post to the weapons stand, Darius did not smile, this was not a game for him, most people knew better to disrespect a Child of Ares, Darius would have to spread the word.
Darius paced, not taking his eyes off of the girl, he put on his helmet and his face disappeared into the shadow of the brass, he took out both his swords, swinging them in a flowing x motion in front of him, he crossed them putting them to his chest and bowed his head, giving her the respect that he denied him, he then quick sprung onto his toes, quickly back pedaling, waiting for her to attack.
