This is where you can fight against dummies or others with your daggers.

Madeleine walked into the arena wearing black leggings and a small pink dress that moved when she walked. She had her long black hair tied up in a messy bun with wispy bits around her face she had her usual bangles and bracelets on her wrists along with her watch. She wandered over to the closest dummy doing some stretches.

She held out her hands for a moment and two daggers appeared in her hands she breathed out and threw the daggers at the target hitting it in the center of the chest waving her hand she used her powers to pull the daggers back out before with a wave of her hand they attacked the dummy again before they came back and floated before hovering a few inches in front of her hands.

She grabbed then before attacking the dummies after bringing them to life with her powers it only took a few moments for her to have dealt enough damage to the dummies for them to stop moving and fall to the ground. She straightened up not even out of breath she dropped her daggers and they disappeared before they touched the ground with a wave of her hand the dummies returned to normal where they should be she waved her hand again and a drink appeared in her hand and she took sip looking around.

Mackenzie walked into the dagger practice area in time to watch the girl take on the moving dummies. She watched the girl take them down and watched as her daggers disappeared from site and grinned. It would appear that she had stumbled onto a goddess. She pulled a dagger from the belt at her waist and stepped slightly closer to the targets before chucking it. She smiled when it hit almost dead centre on the target. "Hey", she said to the goddess, as she walked to get her dagger. "That thing with the dummies you just did? That was pretty cool."

"Hmm child tricks." She tells her with a cheeky grin, watching the girl as she thew the dagger it was actually quite a good shot. She waved her hand and the dagger zoomed to her. She weighted it in her hand thinking about the weight and if it was right for the other girl deciding that it was probably the right weight for the other girl but a little light for her.

Madeleine offered the dagger back to the other girl hilt first. Her own daggers appearing in her other hand with a grin. "Want to train together?" She asked with a grin, the girl wasn't as annoying as most of the kids who lived at camp so she decided that she would give her a little training to make her the best she could be.

Mackenzie smiled and took her dagger off the women, "it may be child tricks to you but it's still special to someone who is only a legacy", she replied, a knowing look in her eyes. "I am Mackenzie a granddaughter of Mars and Vulcan", she replied. She drew her other dagger from her belt. She had made the two of them and one was slightly larger then the other. It was the smaller of the two that she had chucked at the target. She mainly used the bigger one for closer protection if her needed it.

"I'm afraid I am not as skilled as you are but I am willing to give it a shot", she replied with a grin.

"Madeleine, Goddess of War, Tattoo's, Piercing, Dying Young and Gambling." She tells her with a shrug of her shoulders she didn't really like advertising the fact that she was a goddess she still hadn't got used to being a Goddess and she still hated the other gods because they wouldn't tell her twin and her who their parents were and it made her so mad.

"You are better than half the people I have seen here." She says with a smirk, moving into an attack form so that when Mackenzie attacked she would be ready and able to defend herself.

Mackenzie smiled and knelt on the ground placing the daggers down as she quickly retired her hair bak from her face, "ohh so your one of the tattoo gods. I meant your friend Ali", she replied as she fixed her hair. "She mentioned that you might give me a tattoo?", she asked, picking up her daggers and standing.

Onesie grinned at the compliment but shrugged, "hardly a fair comparison. My father has been training me since I was 5. Half the demigods here didn't even hp know what they where until they where at least 12", she replied. "Plus it helps to know everything about your weapon. Most of them wouldn't know how to use the forge. I made these myself though I think they are getting a little light for me know."

Mad's smile disappeared when she mentioned Ali. "No." She says succinctly with a scowl into the distance, she wasn't really angry at the girl she just hated Ali and the mention of her never failed to make her good mood disappear. "She was talking of my twin, I can give you a tattoo if you like, but me and Ali despise each other and try to spend as much time away from each other as possible because if we didn't I would be tempted to kill or at least maim her." She tells her, with a grin.

"Yeah I guess I can see how that would help, these weapons just appeared the first time that I fought and they have have been the prefect size an weight for me ever since." She tells her with a grin. "You should make sure that they fit you better, because if they don't it can mean the difference between life and death."

Mackenzie saw the change in her mood, "I am sorry I didn't mean to offend you", she replied. "I get the feeling you don't get along with her at all", she continued. "I will try not to mention her again." Mackenzie watched the goddess, not wanting to make the first move against a opponent that she already new was better then she was. She had made that mistake to many times before.

"Having magical blades must make things easier. I will need to replace these while I am here. I might even try my hand at an actual sword to. I am glad I got some of my mothers powers there", she knew she was rambling but she barely got the chance to talk to anyone when she was at the camp before and she wanted to make some friends.

"No we don't get along and thanks I would prefer that you don't talk about her." She tells her, throwing the dagger forward using her powers to direct the dagger towards the girl having it skim her cheek leaving a small trail of blood over her cheek bone. She didn't want to hurt her but wanted to teach her how to fight against someone who could use powers against her. Because despite being friends with Ali she found that she rather liked the girl.

Her dagger came back to her hand slapping her on the back on the blunt side as it came back towards her. "Pay attention, people can use powers too, don't just look for a physical attack, power attacks can be just as bad." She tells her with a grin, wanting her to pay attention to everything around her she found that just before people used there powers there was a slight hum in the air. "Try to feel the air around you." She says sending a soft pulse of power at her which hit her gently and pushed her back a little. "Did you feel that? Before it hit you or not?" She asked, raising a brow at her.

When the dagger hit her back on the way back, Mackenzie realized just how quickly this could kill her but she had also felt the slight hum of power in the air before the blade had hit her both times and now understood what it was. She raised her hand to her cheek to wipe away some if the blood as she nodded. She was glad for this training as it was something her father hadn't been able to show her. "I think so but it doesn't give you much time to react to it", she replied. She dropped one of her daggers and used the now free hand to call forward a fire ball. This took a lot of her concentration and she knew if it came to a real fight it wasn't a practical weapon for her because of this but she wasn't calling it forward to use it but rather see if she could get a better taste for the magic from it so she could easier pick up on this. She held the flame for a minute before letting is fade and nodding at Madeleine. "The hum of my own magic felt different but I think I understand it more know", she replied as she bent to pick up her dagger and shifted back into a ready stance. Now watching out for a magical attack as well. This time she moved forward, deciding to be on the offensive. She kept one dagger in a defensive position as she struck out towards Maddie's shoulder with the other.

Madeleine twisted away from her just in time to avoid that dagger but was unable to avoid it completely she hissed as it scraped her shoulder. "That hurt." She tells her with an evil looking grin throwing her daggers at her, using her powers to direct the daggers towards her as she grabbed Mackenzie's dagger that she thew at her and managed to hit her with. She brandished it at her as she watched her daggers head towards Mack one heading for her throat the other for her shoulder. She made sure that the one heading for her neck was a little off the mark because she wasn't sure that Mack would be able to defend herself from both and she would rather not cause the girl a fatal injury her healing wasn't the best and she didn't feel like talking to any other gods.

Mackenzie saw the daggers and knew that she could only defend from one with her dagger. She wasn't fast enough to stop both. She had no time to think and just acted using a fire ball to knock the one aimed at her shoulder of course and blocking the other with the dagger in her hand. The energy lose she felt after made her sway slightly on her feet and she dropped her dagger. She normally wouldn't be so effected but it had taken a lot of focus to hold the fire ball in her hand before. She bent to pick her dagger back up. She wasn't ready to give up just yet, she was having far to much fun with all of this to give up now.

"Just give up you can't win." Madeleine tells her with a mocking smile, keeping how impressed she was with her ability to block her dagger to herself. "It was quite well done, but you shouldn't use fire if it drains you that much. Or else build your ability to use it over time so you can use it without it draining you so much." She says calling her daggers to her readying herself for another attack from Mackenzie, a stray thought crossed her mind about how attractive she looked getting ready to attack her, she shook her head slightly to clear the thought now was not the time.

Mackenzie smiled slightly back, "Giving in isn't in my nature. Besides it gives me something to work towards. I work better with a challenge", she replied. She wasn't really sure why she was so intent on making her impressed with her but she just went with it anyway. She looked down at the single dagger in her hand and knew she needed more or she would get know where. She glanced over at the weapons rack in the arena and moving quickly she grabbed another dagger, chucking it at Maddie, aiming for a shoulder. She quickly grabbed a second dagger sending it after the first. She stayed close to the rack, waiting for Maddie's reaction as she grabbed a third dagger from the rack. "All I can hope if I can at least prove slightly challenging for you. With using my powers I have no hope to expand them though really."
