[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo headed for the training area. She needed to improve her skills on hand-to-hand combat. The daughter of Zeus dragged a dummy to her favorite spot to train and began with a few punches and the occasional sideways kick.

Everest saw other campers beginning their training and decided to do some practice of her own. She was at the shooting range in no time, pulling back her arrow and releasing it in the direction of the target. The arrow impaled the target at a hundred miles an hour, dead-on center.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo would've given this guy a major concision by now of course, if the dummy were real. She decided she'd done enough hand-to-hand combat and drew her knife.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo had taken this news surprisingly well. She stood at the top of Zeus's Fist, getting a good lastbut hopefully not lastlook of Camp Half-Blood. She'd only been at camp for two years now, but had always been wanting to go on a quest since day one. And with Chiron personally inviting her to go along raised her confidence. Looking down at her knife, the daughter of Zeus easily stepped down the ginormous pile of rocks and headed for her cabin to pack her things.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Everest wiped the sweat off her forehead after slicing off another dummy's head with her knife and decided to rest in her cabin for a little. She picked up a book and sat down on her bunk, glad to loosen her shoulders after a long day of training.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo grabbed a bag and stuffed in some drachmas, a brush, extra clothes, her Tic-Tac bombs, a knife, and a few other useful things. She slung the bag over her shoulder and strolled out, searching for the rest of the quest members.

ic[color=black]»»[color=white]Runo spotted Olly by her signal and paced to her side. "Hey," she greeted blankly, glancing around the camp. "Where's Chiron? He said he'd meet us here before we leave."

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo nodded. "Then let's not waste any time. C'mon," she said and walked to the front on the group, one hand on the strap of her bag. She paused. "Wait. Don't we get a ride?"

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo curiously stepped on board, getting a good look of the ship. "Wow, so is this what it really looked like? You know, before it sunk?" she asked Alex, sitting down on a bench.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo impaled her dummy where the heart would be, then kicked its stomach and sent it tumbling down to the hard, dirty ground. She raised her foot and rested it on the dummy's chest in triumph, as if she had just defeated a Titan.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo nodded in agreement. "Well, then. Who wants to steer?"

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]"Yeah, good luck with that. Runo stood up and wondered throughout the boat, finally choosing one of the first class apartments to load her stuff into.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]"You mean that safe in the movie? Yeah, they kind of already found that," Runo joked.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo raised a brow at him. "Don't you remember the whole purpose of this quest, Seaweed Brain?" she snapped, suddenly not in the mood for joking around.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]"Hey!" Runo hissed at them. "Fighting won't make things any better. Now both of you calm down," she said, then added under her breath, "So immature."

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]"Ah, and who was it that threatened Alex if he messed with any sea monsters?" Runo asked Dallas, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]Runo scowled at Alex. Are you trying to start a fight? she thought, then sighed. "I give up."

[justify][fancypost borderwidth=0][size=9pt][font=times new roman][color=white]LEO!!! *ahem* Sorry. Got a little excited there. Anyways, I just finished the Mark of Athena and Treble suggested this chat thread so - here I am.
