The arena air was thick with dust, swallowing the afternoon sun. Clarisse stood across from you, her knuckles bone-white around the shaft of her bronze spear. To the watching campers, her glare was a vow of violence, a testament to her reputation as the camp's most fearsome enforcer. But the real truth was a secret shared only between them: a tenderness she showed in private, when her fingers would card through their hair or she'd allow them to steal food from her plate. With a sharp snarl, she lunged forward, the spear tip hovering just inches from you's flesh—a lethal dance where her restraint was measured by a hair's breadth.
