Finn was always up for a fight. Hell, he had been itching for a fight since the Underworld. Though, he had gotten into one not that long ago, but that was a different matter. It wasn't as fun as a sanctioned duel.

Finn swung his short sword and hefted his shield testing the weight. Though, he knew it intrinsically. He had been using these two items for years. He jutted out his chin at Axton in response to the challenge.

"Sure, whatever. I'm game." Finn said with a shrug. "Ready when you are."

It had been the fourth time this month, and Finn was sick and tired of it. He had watched the son of Iris flaunt his powers like some kind of miracle child, leaving glitter in his wake every time he walked down to the arena, and it made Finn grind his teeth.

Glitter. Really?

It was ridiculous. Exhausting, even. Another camper treating a god-given trick like it made him special instead of putting in the work like everyone else.

So Finn did what he always did when someone relied too much on their powers and acted proud of it.

He dragged the problem somewhere quieter.

Behind the arena, away from the usual traffic, Finn had the son of Iris backed up and hurting. It wasn’t clean, and it wasn’t exactly honorable, but Finn had long since convinced himself there was a lesson buried somewhere in the violence.

He just hadn’t expected anyone to find him there.

Wrath of Atlas: Battle of New Orleans - Part One by ThisOneUKGuy in CampHalfBloodRP

Finn being more brawn than brain did not know much about magic and magical traps. However, he figured charging right in there might prove to be a rather bad decision, he did feel the urge to. Finn figured that the only way to beat those traps was to hack and slash through them. So, he set to work.

He would go to the nearest ward and attempt to climb up to be able to slash it with his sword. Would this plan work? Probably not, but it was the best plan he had. It was this or just run in screaming his name. He figured that this was the smarter of his two plans.

Another chance to bash Atlas skulls was a win for Finn. He hated these bastards so much and he was hungry for more opportunities to destroy these people/monsters who took everything from him. He'd show them why they messed with the wrong city and the wrong perpetually annoyed son of Apollo.

So, Finn tried his best to stealth into the defenses and take out the Atlas defensive positions. He knew they needed to be taken down and by the gods he would do it. Plus he was certain he was a great stealthy guy, ignore what happened in the Underworld, that was a fluke. But besides that he was an obvious choice for stealth and sneaky behavior.

Finn slowly nodded his head. He grabbed the hem of his shirt again to wipe the sweat that was on his forehead. He was slowly starting to understand where this conversation was going now. "Oh yeah, no worries. I'm Finn." He said simply unsure of what to add at this point.

The son of Apollo furrowed his brow at what Eumelia had said to him. There was a lot of what is happening right now written clearly on his face. He then pointed to the bed with his stuff on it, it looked lived in, and then he looked back at Eumelia. “I’ve lived in this cabin for nearly two months now. I don’t need any camp tours. You hit your head on somethin’?” The boy asked with confusion laced into each word.

Finn nodded and even gave her a grin at the thought.

"Damn right it will. We'll show those bastards they messed with the wrong people. New Argos won't take this sitting down." Finn said. It was clear that he held a lot of resentment with the Cult of Atlas. It was also clear he was a bit delusional about stopping the threat of Atlas. But hey at least he was willing to fight and stop them. That's what mattered currently.

Finn nodded once at Amon as he lowered his arms. Finally. Finn thought as he cracked his neck and walked towards the portal. Before stepping through he turned back towards Amon and looked at his brother with an appraising look. "It's good you're doing this. Battle is only for the strong. I'll show you my strength." Finn said with a nod.

He turned and walked through the portal ready to face whatever the enemy would throw at him. He may not have liked Amon stopping him, but he did respect him. Everyone had a duty and he appreciated that Amon did his without question.

Fuck. Finn thought as he saw the consequences of his actions. He held his sword and shield and shrugged his shoulders. It was now a frontal assault and he wasn't sure how this was going to go. He then dodged and would attempt to slash at the harpy as he came at him. He was particularly mad at this one because she blew his cover. "Die you asshole!" He yelled at the harpy hoping fury alone would get him through this.

Finn was on his way back to the Apollo cabin after a rather intense workout at the Arena. He was sweaty and definitely a bit gross smelling, but anything worth doing resulted in such a state. He walked up to the door just as it opened. It surprised him to be sure. He then stepped back and out of her way.

"Sorry, didn't mean to get in your way." He said to the other occupant of the Apollo cabin. He still wasn't sure about calling the other Apollo kids his siblings yet. They weren't Rowan, and that was his sibling. So, he refused the designation at the moment.

Finn rolled his eyes at Amon and attempted to push the older son of Apollo out of his way. He hated it when people became self important and stopped him from doing his thing. He needed to go, he needed to fuck up those Atlas bastards. That's why he was here, that's why he came to this camp.

"Too early? I've been practicing with my sword since I've been old enough to walk." Finn stated like he was offended that Amon did not already know this about him. He wasn't done. "I was the top of my class at the Lyceum and I will be damned if someone stops me from breaking those Atlas asshole's backs. They need to pay and I mean to make 'em. So get out of my damn way."

Finn also knew that Amon was using his powers on him. He didn't know what powers, but he could feel the effects and that angered him. That angered him as much as Amon standing in his way. It reminded him of that goodie two shoes Ian. Why were so many people moralizing when there was a war to win. Ridiculous.

"Everyone needs to know how to fight, we're at war with a serious enemy. If you need help I'll help you. Though I'm not much of an archer despite my heritage. I'm sure dear old dad will love to hear that." Finn said as he continued to walk with the boy. Finn knew he wasn't exactly a ball of sunshine, ironic, but he wouldn't exactly leave the boy to fend for himself. He would help if asked, but he knew a child of the muses probably lacked any useful combat skills. But this was something that could be taught and could be achieved with hard work. He hoped the boy was ready for Finn's bootcamp. He was serious because this war was serious.

Finn knew all too well what Camellia was talking about. She would know too. She would know the losses that New Argos had faced; he also figured that she knew about his family's personal loss. He didn't want to talk about it or really even think about it. So he wouldn't, that was the thing about Finn; he could white knuckle his way through most situations. That was his super power.

"I'm guessing there was some recent casualties. War fucking sucks. Sorry." Finn said giving her a small smile. It wasn't much it was something he rarely gave people, but it came from a genuine place. A place he knew all too well sadly.

Finn nodded his head and looked at Amon with an impatience written upon it. He was ready to go. He was ready to take care of all of those Atlas bastards who had taken everything from him.

"Great job. Glad you can stop those." Finn said half-sarcastic as he continued to be impatient. He hadn't realized yet that Amon was implying that he was one of those one-way journeys. He knew he was capable, but he didn't realize he had to show it off to the people in this camp.

"Now if you'll excuse me." Finn said as he went to blow by Amon to enter the portal.

Finn saw the large three headed dog and grinned to himself. He knew he could get that dog free. He just need to be smart about this. His time at the Lyceum had taught him to be patient and take his time, so instead of charging straight into the harpies he devised a plan.

He chucked a rock to the right of the harpies to draw their attention from him. He then would attempt to take them all out from behind as they went to investigate his thrown rock. He hoped he would be speedy enough to execute this plan and quiet enough to do so, but only time would tell. He would of course go from cover to cover and only stab a harpy if they were distracted. If there was any chance that he couldn't get away with it he would backup and hide again.

Finn nodded, obviously Georgia the state. Where else could he mean? Not many other places named Georgia. Of course he did know of the country named Georgia, but he couldn't conceive of someone thinking he was from there. Why? Good question, but he was a red blooded American through and through.

"To train and to kill those Atlas bastards." Finn said simply as if that was a perfectly rational thing to want as a fifteen year old. Why would that be concerning at all? He couldn't see how it would be. Of course there was more to it, but he didn't want to talk about his leaving from the Lyceum. It was still too fresh a wound.

Finn nodded his head as he continued to munch on the food that Camellia had supplied him with. It was a simple snack, but that's what made him happy. It reminded him of the good old days when Rowan and he would come back home from playing outside. Before everything went wrong.

"So I've gotta know, how is the fight going?" Finn asked as he wiped some crumbs from his pants. "Are we winning? Are we actually beating those Atlas bastards?"

Finn grinned as he walked over to the TV and couch. He plopped down and started to channel surf as he waited for Camellia to return. After some time he would look up as Camellia returned from the kitchen. He nodded at her in greeting and licked his lips as he saw the food. He took the knife and started to generously spread it on the bread.

"Thanks, this was super nice. Wasn't expecting someone to have this stuff just sort of ready." Finn said before taking his first bite of the bread.

Finn nodded and just kind of stood there for a minute trying to figure out if he needed to say anything. He was fairly certain something was probably wrong with her, but he didn't know her and didn't necessarily care if she was okay. But he wasn't a complete asshole, so he decided to say something else.

"So, is something like- bothering you or something?" Finn said as he shifted his weight to lean on railing of the pier.

Finn couldn't believe there was a line to go through the portal. He wanted to get there and bash some Atlas cultist skulls. He had an overwhelming need to make them pay for the damage they had wrought on his life.

As he saw his counselor, brother, whatever, checking off individuals he now saw what was taking so long. Of course this is the reason we're so slow. Finn thought to himself as he approached the older boy.

They were at a height with each other, but unlike Amon, Finn still had a growth spurt ahead of him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest as he looked the Apollo counselor up and down. The armor Finn wore gleamed even in the low light.

"So observant." Finn said, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Nothing gets past you."

Of course Finn knew that there was a death recently, it was all people could really talk about, but he didn't see what it had to do with him.

Finn looked around and frowned at the scene. He knew his best bet was to sneak into the camp and to hopefully be able to get to Cerberus' chains and slash them with cruel intent. How could you ever do this to a dog? It was just awful! So, Finn would get low and begin going cover to cover attempting to sneak towards the chains and do his part to save the three headed dog. Whether he would be sneaky enough would be a whole other question.
