Alison stood there waiting for grace to take her shot it seemed like forever and Alison was not one known to be patient. Tired from staying up reading the night before she looked at the ground and how comfy it looked. Alison then lied flat on her back but tilted her head not to be rude like the earlier comment she almost blurted out. Watching half heartedly she saw grace do a somersault and landed in a kneeling position then fired it was pretty darn accurate and wasn’t too far from her very own shot. Surprised by it she was just about to congratulate grace but was cut off when she said, "HA! how bout that for a difference in style huh Alison, what ya think of that sort of thing? I kinda picked that up with my crossbow at times!"
Feeling a kind of friendly anger she sat up resting on her elbows and looked grace in the eye saying, ” that style isn’t so new I learned it last year in the advanced lesson Chiron gave us” hearing the competitiveness and frankly rudeness in her comment she gave an apologetic look but was feeling unsatisfied with herself. Wanting to prove what she could do Alison got up without using her hands and started into a little run then doing a front hand spring and using that momentum pushed herself into a round off steadying her feat Alison took quick aim pulling the string under her jaw and looking up the shaft in two seconds then let the arrow fly as she lowered her bow she saw the arrow right below the last still in the bull’s-eye.
This time unable to control herself Alison blurted loudly, ” HAHAHA!! Two can play at that game, but you should know I always win!” toning down the attitude Alison then said, ”I didn’t mean to go all psycho on ya but you have to admit that was pretty damn cool!” Alison now had a ton of adrenaline it had been forever since she had tumbled and the shot was a bonus with a big smile on her face Alison went and sat back down she was fidgeting a whole lot but frankly Alison couldn’t help it. While sitting she looked at grace to see if she would continue with the acrobatics or just shoot normally.

she seemed momentarily dazed by the question for her head was within her own very thoughts of what was to happen and what had happened not knowing exactly of what was to happen. Still with the possibility that were running throughout her head when she all of a sudden with an automatic raise of the head she heard of the question which her friend and colleague Alison was asking her about if she was to do more acrobatics or if they were to do the usual kind of archery stuff. Which was a sound question to ask one for they had started to do such as that.
Sticking the end of her tongue out of the corner of her mouth casually biting on the part that hung it went back into her mouth again as if the thought had passed and would answer sooner than later in time. In the shadows the viper awaited to see of what was to come to pass if he was needed or would be able to snooze in the cooled shade. "That was a fine shot there Ali, however to answer your question about if we are to do more acrobatic work we'll see I might want to change things up from time to time to keep the game more interesting. Besides are you starting to not like this type of game and want to go to normalcy? Cause in my own right if you continue something oh to long it become insanity and repeatitive wouldn't you agree?"
It would be with that shewould rise from where she sat and looked towards the target in front of them with the arrows sticking out of it like the quills on a hedgehog and wondered of what she was to do this time for it was once again her turn to show what she could do. Taking a momentary glance at Zol'tar and then at Alison she thought of what would be unique and yet satisfactory, nay safe enough for one to attempt in it without scaring one for life or even injuring one such as herself and her friends. That was when a tree that was in near the course and started to climb it easily scaling to one of the higher limbs in which she hung suspended by her legs tightly grasping the limb as she fired upside down from the tree hoping to hit the target. As she said a silent prayer to her father to aid in her conquest of uping her friend and it had struck the bullseye or at least as near as you could from that height and in that situation.
Afterward she climbed down and leanded against the cooled bark within closing her eyes for a mere second and silently thanking her father for he wasn't that of greatness as Apollo nor Artemis, but still he had some ways to aid his children at least somewhat. "Well I think its your turn once again my friend hope you like heights well enough to try and attempt something like that Ali!" as she said with a cool phrased look at her minorly covering her eyes with the lower portion of the lids as the eyelashes made streaks through her vision.

Alison mindlessly nodded hearing what Grace said about repeating the same thing over and over again to the point of insanity, meanwhile Ali’s mind was other places such as her swelling hand and the fact that she didn’t know where that bow could have possibly come from or why even Grace could shoot that good after so many years of not shooting it should take at least a day which would happen if you were a hunter of Artemis or son or daughter of Apollo even with praying because the gods were busy with well you could say their jobs. Trying not to dwell seeing that grace was right about repeating the same thing driving people to insanity, she let that slip from her mind and mindlessly played with her hair.
Focusing on Grace’s shape now climbing a tree bow in hand curious about how far she would go up Alison watched as she got higher until she settled on one of the branches Alison looked and saw she was notching a arrow, with even wider eyes grace then started to hang upside down and shot. It was a pretty dang accurate one to from what she could see. Alison looked in awe and gave her foot a little stomp as if frustrated that she knew her limits and fears. Alison put her head down in a sort of shame thinking negatively her competitive spirit dying a little.
When Grace came over and said, "Well I think it’s your turn once again my friend hope you like heights well enough to try and attempt something like that Ali” Alison said, ”oh I have something put up my sleeve, Athena always has a plan” using one of Annabeth’s signature lines giving herself a little confidence boost all Alison could think about was her fall from a tree not too long ago while in the forest her and heights weren’t really a good mix and being honest with herself that tree looked really high.
When Alison reached the trunk of the tree she looked up it was high but not as high as the moving, shaking, lava throwing rock wall the camp had. She climbed it with ease finding big branches for footholds and hand holds and when she got to the place a little higher then Grace’s she remembered a thing Chiron had taught about moving and shooting at the same time. Thinking back on her plan it seemed a little rough on the edges but she prayed to her mom that she would get this right and now get injured trying. Alison held her bow arrow notched in place and held with her left hand the non hurt one and then she held onto the branch with one hand then had both of her legs on holding tightly she then looked at the branch beneath her getting ready to angle her feet to make the landing, then Ali put her trick in action letting go of her legs she flipped in a sort of back flip then she shot mid spin towards what she thought was the target praying to any god that would hopefully listen to make the shoot go to the bulls-eye; Ali landed with her knees bent and one hand still holding the branch above the one she started on. Feeling uneasy but alive, Ali put her bow on her back with her remaining hand then re adjusted he angle of her arm holding the branch it was feeling a little stiff from holding all her body weight at once but she had to say that was pretty dang amazing! Never had she once tried something like that, Alison didn’t even care about the shot anymore just getting down and seeing the look on Grace’s face would be enough.
Almost reaching the bottom of the tree Ali felt amazing like she could beat a thousand Minotaur’s that was until she heard, “get down young from that tree right now young lady!” and it wasn’t Grace. deciding she wasn’t going to take this as a joke Alison flipped out of the tree landing almost cat like, beside where she thought the voice had came from instead she landed in a bush luckily with no thorns. Rising she came face to face with one older angry looking wood nymph and not scared she looked at her curiously as to what she was going to say because really she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Note: Hope I didn’t go too far and gave you enough to work with you can do whatever with the wood nymph idc I just thought a little trouble might be good for the thread.

As she looked with a kind and calm aire about her with a thin razor smile of coolness and yet she wondered of what Ali had up her sleeve which was when she noticed that she was climbing the tree which once again she kept cool as if this didn't really surprise her any that her friend would try to top her stunt by going up the same exact tree and she watched from where she stood with the deep blue eyes wondered at the form up on the single tree limb. Not knowing it she seemed to feel something wild and ancient coming ever so closer towards them, not as powerful as her pet and protector however still ancient enough by its own right.
Still with her demeanor calm and collected she watched with entusiastic glee that was when she saw it come to form she had an inch of doubt that her friend would once again fall to the ground and re-injure that which was now healed it was then that she saw at the last second that her friend had caught herself careful not to have the emotion of doubt and fear for her safety to show she just stood there with the same cool smile on her face with everything else blank like a blank canvas. Not knowing if her friends' aim was true and would strike that of the target so as to show her grace and accuracy for like she had told Grace before climbing that 'Athena always has a plan" or something akin to that and so it was with awe however that it did strike the target even if it was a little bit higher than the last few it was still a feat to even hit the canvas that was their target. It landed just barely outside the bullseye as if someone wanted her not to prevail from this contest as the victor, that was when a slight low chuckle escaped her mouth. she hoped that Alison wasn't close enough to hear her chuckle for seemed a tad cold when suddenly the calm and relaxed demeanor would be broken for someone would interrupt their contest with a flurish turned around the full one hundred and eighty degrees to see someone inching closer to them and had said something to her friend.
It was a statement for herfriend to get down from the tree and had the edge in it as if a scolding teacher or parent in which she looked closer to the woman and saw the talltale signs of what she knew the wood nymphs or also known as Dryads was there scolding her friend when just a second ago she had done the exact same thing. Even though her cool blank mask was disturbed by this intruder a look of shock, disgust, and something amidst it that would've offended anyone when it would be once again hidden by that of one who didn't know nor felt emotion.
"I'm sorry mistress of the wood, but tis this beeth your lifeforce and the tie to this earthly plane? If so we gratefully cry your pardon for we only intended on testing ourselves with thrill and that of sport, if we had done any harm to you or your kin I for one am sorry if we offended thee!" Of course she had reverted to the ancient tongue in which was respectful to things of the past and ancient beings as well that of showing even more respect to coat over what they were doing. "Nay young one this tis not mine, but it is tied to others in the forest which it was foretold that something was going down as well I wish for you and your friend that thereth be caution for thee to take to heart for I knoweth taht you art Half-Bloods in which it is only ones danger and mine caution to heed thy trickery so as not to injure thyself!" It took Grace a couple of minutes to take in what this dryad was saying and then slightly nodded in what she had to say about them testing each other and knew taht this one had once been a parent or a parental figure to something that had passed not to long ago.
That was when yet another emotion would spark out of the cold mask in which she wanted to not show any concern or anything to this one even though Alison knew that her friend did have feelings and emotions which she was only hiding because of this being a stranger to her own being that was when she heard something seeming to rise and knew taht it was her friend and that was when she showed a hand palm facing him to stain his own tongue or action from this woodland creature still the emotion of curiosity and questioning came splayed on her face in raising one thin eyebrow skyward.
"Why thank ye for thy concern and for the warning we shall try and be carefull forth with even though we are young and half-bloods however we shall try our best to not let the whispers of caution reach thee!" even though she knew that Alison might've been able to talk with ehr own words and to ask or something she wished that she wouldn't for to only possibly offend or migh hap try to defend herself as one child would be to a parent of their own. Although she wasn't her friends keeper nor had the right to ask her to not speak or whichever she choose, hopefully she'd choose as wisely as her mother would in this situation.
NOTES:Sorry if it seems like Grace is talking for the both of them, but if you want her to put in her own two bits and possibly also the response that the dryad would do tis kool dude!
