Later that day Atia was shown the Hermes cabin and it was declared that when she would stay there until she was claimed. When she had put her stuff into the depths of her sleeping bag (Atia had been warned about the Hermes campers.), Will came knocking on the door to bring her to the dinning pavilion for dinner.

Atia sat at the edge of the Hermes table until she decided that it was stupid and moved to the floor and ate cross legged sitting on the floor.

“What are you doing?” Travis asked, looking down at her, while Conner looked just as confused.

“I’m not going to sit on an overcrowded bench when there is an entire floor available.” Atia shrugged while stuffing a bit of her meal which consisted of tacos into her mouth.

After dinner Chiron announced the teams for capture the flag, Atia was on the same team as Will and Nico (who had a ‘doctors note’).

The team had a plan, which Atia only listened to the part where she was meant to go around to left flank to get the blue teams flag. Easy enough. A russeling in the trees put her off, something was there. Something told her to look away and go the the left flank, another part of her told her to look away but go to the right flank.

The horn blew, Atia ran into the forest but steered towards the right. Sprinting through the forest while leaping over rocks and roots was calming but still the task at hand loomed. When she finally reached a bush blocking her from the large rock that was named (ironically) Zeus’s fist.

She slowed to a stop by the bush, peaking through the leaves and listening. All the people on the blue team were, sure enough, guarding the left side of the clearing. Atia crouched down and prepared herself for what was about to come next. Slashing through the clump of twigs and leaves with her sword and running towards the rock, she scaled the rock with multiple people on her tail, just as she thought she was in the clear, a hand fastened around her ankle and yanked. Atia held on to the rock with both hands while trying to shake the attached hand off her ankle so she could climb the large rock.

When she finally shook the appendage off her ankle she scaled the rock to reach the top. Upon reaching the top her adrenaline started to wear thin, Atia pushed forward and wrapped her hand around the wood of the huge flag and waved it above her head. Suddenly Will is there with most of the red team, they pick Atia up and parraid her around as their lord and savior.

After that’s finished, Percy walks up to her, drenched in sweat.

“Good job!” He was enthusiastic while saying his praises.

“How did you know we were going to be garding the left flank?” Annabeth walked up.
“Your ‘spy’ wasn’t very stealthy.” Atia concluded. Annabeth looked confused at this but she kept her thoughts to herself.
