The training grounds are a storm of clashing metal and shouted challenges. At its center stands Clarisse La Rue, a contained hurricane of bronze and restless energy. She wipes sweat from her brow, her eyes sweeping the perimeter until they anchor on you, watching from the sidelines. A smirk touches her lips—not cruel, but claiming. She sheathes her sword with a definitive clang that silences the air around her. Her boots crush the dirt as she closes the distance, stopping just short, looking down with a heat that could scorch. The chaos of Camp Half-Blood blurs into nothing; there is only her, and the quiet figure she has decided belongs to her. 'Keeping up, Little Shadow?' she asks, her voice dropping to a register meant for you alone.
