POV: Azima
Most kids in the training arena practice their skills by swinging their weapons at dummies, or each other, or by shooting targets. Azima was doing something a bit unique. Azima did have a weapon, a celestial bronze tapered quarterstaff, a blunt weapon, that could be swung around swiftly, since it wasn't totally metal. Azima was fond of the weapon, and hadn't planned on giving it up soon. In fact, there was only one weapon Azima preferred, and that was his own mind. He wasn't a tactician, no that was a job for the children of Athena. Azima was a child of Hecate, so with his mind, he could produce something more tangible.
Magic.
He heard of different spells that Hecate's children can cast, but he was fond of a simple one, one that was practical in combat called telekinesis. How did he practice it? He began by sitting cross legged in the arena. First, he'd levitate his staff in front of him, having it float above his lap. He'd do this until he tired out, but recently it took a long time for him to lose energy, so he moved to the next step. Along with the staff, Azima levitated himself. After practicing this, he soon was floating in the air, staff twirling around him, looking like an artist's portrayal of a zen monk. That day, Azima had just started, so he wasn't feeling tired yet, whatever threshold controlled his powers was like a muscle, the more he practiced, the stronger it got. Of course, there would have to be a day that he actually used his powers against someone, maybe that day would do.
