The training area was filled like usual, everyone striving to get stronger for their own reasons and Harlie was no different. She was going to get claimed, it was her mission and she felt like the only way she could do that is by proving herself. There was some serious competition around here, and she had to work to stand out amongst all these crazy warriors. I mean come on, some of these people had freaking powers, she had to somehow be better than that.
Off to the side, impatiently waiting on her was an Ares boy. Being the ditz she is Harlie could not remember his name for the life of her, so she just gave him a nickname and hoped he would go along with it. He was big, like i mean boy builder big, which he was showing off in his black tank top and shorts. He was actually kind of cute, but of course it was ruined by his nasty personality. The only reason he was even helping her is because she paid him off with a few drachma, which she stole from one of the Hermes kids. Only thing keeping her from feeling guilty about that is by thinking about how it was probably stolen from someone else.
He moved his hands through his short cropped dark hair, his light blue eyes eyeing her up and down. Immediately Harlie became self conscious, she was not a sight for sore eyes right now. She came to train, not to impress. Her red hair was put in a neat bun, like she was trained in the Army to do, and to go with that she was wearing zero make up, she didn't want it to smear while she was sweating. Gross. And weirdly enough, she kind of matched the Ares boy, who she decided to call blue because she hated to admit it but she actually liked his eyes.
"Quit staring at me"
"I was just trying to see if it was really you, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, you look like a child of Hephaestus."
The joke wasn't lost on Harlie, she actually has been studying her Greek mythology, she didn't want to seem dumb. You could call it mental training to go with her physical training. Letting out a huff of air so that she wouldn't retaliate because she really did need someone to train her, Harlie started to walk towards him.
"Can we get started?"
Blue didn't even say another word, he just flashed her a smile. Yellow teeth, ehh gross. And with that he charged at her, his giant fist coming down. Harlie's reaction time was kind of slow, but she still managed to be like oh crap danger, and dive out of the way. A cloud of dirt came up around Harlie, but that didn't stop Blue, he came in charging again trying to grab at her, but Harlie kicked him in the gut and scrambled to get up.
Blue clutched his gut, regaining his breath and swung another fist at Harlie. Ducking under his fist and trying to grab his arm like she saw in all those kung fu movies, she attempted to twist it and make him give in, but he was obviously a heck of a lot bigger than her and tossed her off of him, sending her hurdling to the ground. Harlie kept rolling with the drop to get some distance between her and him. A gash made blood come down her face, but she wasn't done. She had to get a good blow on him.
And like the bull he is, Blue came in hard slamming into Harlie just as she was trying to get up, and he was ontop of her. Pinning her arms down, he gave her a content smile. And again those dang yellow teeth were there and just eww. Not willing to give in, Harlie swung her head up and slammed it into his nose. Blue immediately got up holding his nose, blood coming inbetween his fingers, a look of hate directed at Harlie.
Getting up as quickly and carefully as she could Harlie stood up and tried getting in her best fighting position. She had to think of a plan because if she didn't she was going to get crushed. This trainings session was about to go bad because she thinks that he was done going easy on her.
Blue put his hand on his wrist, a wristband that she didn't notice before glew for a brief second and then its place was a gigantic sword. Yep, he was done playing and now just wanted to get even. Harlie didn't move though, she had no weapon to grab, her whip was completely unreliable because it only appeared whenever it decided to, and she left her gun behind, so all she could do was hope to avoid that ginormious weapon. And as if this move wasn't getting old, Blue charged at her again sword held high, but this time Harlie was ready.
Once he got close enough, Harlie slammed the palm of her hand into the bottom of Blue's head, making him lose balance of his weapon and it coming down just beside her. Next she sent a swift kick to his exposed ribs, making him clutch them and let go of his weapon completely. Then she went into slam her palm into his ear, but he caught her hand and threw her to the ground again, and taking the hilt of his sword swung it at her, and all Harlie could do was put her arms in an X infront of her face.
Then it happened, the electric sensation went through her body again. Her bracelet did that whole flash thing and changed into a whip, but it was too late to react with the weapon, heck Harlie was too focused on the sword to even notice the weapon, but something else happened. The sensation seemed to continue to course throughout her body, and the minute that Blue foot brushed hers as he tried to swing his sword down on her, he started convulsing like he was being shocked and went flying backwards. What little of his hair stood on ends, and he gave her a wide look, that look changed from confusion back to its old look of anger, but this time instead of attacking her he got up and stormed off.
"Well there goes my only training partner."
Harlie mumbled, as she got up and dusted the dirt off of herself. Bruises lined her body from being thrown around, but she didn't really care. Something happened and she knew it had something to do with her father, but why didn't he claim her? She thought that they usually claimed you after you showed signs of doing magic like stuff. Maybe he didn't want to claim her while she was getting her butt handed to her, she would just have to try proving herself and find someone else to train her, but who.
