The tower looked so... [i]small[/i]. There had been times when the son of Aphrodite had entertained the idea of climbing that same tower. To swing from one pole to the next, to feel the muscles on his arms flex as he pulled himself up the swinging ladders, to feel the adrenaline run through his veins as he saw the ring atop the tower shining right above him. That is what he did. Entertain the idea and never go through it. Others from his cabin, his siblings, had tempted to scale the tower before, but none had snatched the golden ring for themselves yet, and the idea that Kyrin might just tempt that made him laugh. 

Kyrin wasn't the type of person to actively look for competition. He didn't care. He didn't care if someone was better than him or that they had surpassed him. Kyrin wanted to do his own thing alone. If he didn't care, he didn't have to worry about it one bit. Then again, there were very few things that Kyrin cared for. The less he had to worry about, the less trouble he had to go through. 

Now, sitting on the stands watching people compete against one another to prove themselves better than the rest, that idea continued to claw at the back of his head. He tore his eyes away from the tower and to the people on the ground. A voice caught his attention, the boy with the blond hair. Kyrin had to roll his eyes when he looked at Elias. That stupid smile he always wore had become somewhat comforting to him in the past months. 

Above him, he heard the familiar voice of his sister. He turned his head just enough to catch a glimpse of her sitting on Katherine's lap. His heart still tugged with guilt when he saw her. He had tried so hard to talk to her, but Imani had finally convinced him to give Kat some time to move on and get past her "fuck you" phase with him. Kyrin just wanted to explain, explain to her that none of it had been her fault. He just wanted his best friend back. 

Kyrin averted his gaze from that group before Katherine spotted him looking their way. Right, back to the tower. He looked just in time to see two bodies his the mats below. He squinted his eyes to see if he could get a better look at the due that had fallen. When he realized who it had been, they immediately snapped to Elias. He watched the son of Are make his way through the crowd and to his brother and sister. 

[color=54626f]"Idiot is going to get hurt."[/color] Kyrin said in his usual monotone voice. He didn't care. If he didn't care, why the hell was he getting up to take a better look?

Valeria was never one for competitions. She was somewhat of a sore loser and she would rather not participate in anything where she knew she would end up loosing or coming close to it. Besides, she enjoyed watching other compete. Be it football, tennis, or the obstacle tower in front of her. Every year, since she had first arrived her, Valeria never missed the occasion to watch her fello campers kick, punch, or throw each other from the tower for that magical ring. A ring she loved to mask as a donut at time.

Unfortunately, today was not the time. There had been quite a lot of campers that had fallen from the tower and suffered a few injuries. Not that she, or her other healers at camp, couldn't fix with a simple spell or a potion. 

She watched as a few of her friends tried to out best the other. Ky'vie was her favorite, of course. Valeria was even wearing a [i]"Team Ky'vie"[/i] shirt with the girl's face on it framed by the golden ring. It had been a little surprise for the Australian. Valeria had managed to sell two dozen of the shirts to other campers and even got Kyrin to wear one!  

Valeria was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the stunt Octavia, her favorite prank victim, had pulled. It wasn't until other healers hurried to the crowd that was forming at the bottom of the tower. She picked up her spellbook and tapped her useless wand on her right hip before bolting to the group. Elias was there with the rest of his siblings, with Talon locked in place. 

[color=b45a5c]"What is going on?"[/color] Valeria looked over to Octavia and noticed the blood on her. She frowned, watching the scene unfold with no to as to what the hell was happening.

[color=7F6B5D]"Honestly, I'd be worried if he didn't."[/color] Carlos muttered to himself after Octavia's comment as he continued to climb. Luck was smiling down on him as he had no problems going up the rest of the tower. That was until he heard the familiar voice of Talon let out what felt like a roar. Carlos was pretty sure that he was the one on the other side of the tower. 

[color=7F6B5D]"Oh, fuck!"[/color] He merely managed to dodge one of the rungs as it was pushed towards his face. Another, the one where his right arm rested comfortably, was pulled from him. He barely managed to grab another and steady himself just as he saw Talon climbing up from one of the peepholes in the tower. 

[color=7F6B5D]"[i]Ay dioses mios, ayuden a este niño[/i]."[/color] Carlos breathed out as he pulled himself to the platform, joining the two daughters of Athena, Ky'vie, and Octavia. He took a second to catch his breath before looking at the others with a playful smile. 

[color=7F6B5D]"Girls day?"[/color] His smile disappeared when he saw Octavia jump from the platform down to her brother. [color=7F6B5D]"Oh! Holy shit!"[/color] Carlos didn't know it had been [i]that[/i] bad! He knew how bad the children of Are could get, but he had never seen it that bad. Elias had snapped a few times around him, but even then, the guy knew how to control his bursts of anger. Back then, it may have been a slight turn on for him. Elias didn't know that. 

He glanced back at the girls, then back to Octavia and Talon, now on the mats. [color=7F6B5D]"Well, I'd say our chances just got better?"[/color] Carlos smiled down at the son of Helios, Sam, and waved over to the guy. [color=7F6B5D]"You got this Sam, you too Brandon! Let's show these girls they aren't winning this one!"[/color]
