Here is the only place different demigods can fight without getting into trouble. It looks like a coliseum, but has no track for chariots. The sand came from Egypt and is a well blend of the different cultures. It has weapons from every group and has a medical station in case some get too carried away.

One's character is determined by their heart and soul,'There is nothing to anywhere on this Earth!' the blue haired maiden thought as she walked about the grounds. Coming from the lonely cabin and lonely dinner table, Reece thought that she could feel more part here. Not that she didn't like Camp Half-Blood, but it was hard to be as close to everyone when you didn't live or eat with them. Every house was so close knit that it made someone alone in their house. Not that she didn't have friends. She had plenty back on that side of the island, but here in Cacia was supposed to be a new adventure! Being a camp counselor, she could partake in the war room, but so far there hasn't been a meeting.
Sighing, she kicked a rock all the way to her destination: the training arena. This at least she could have fun with. Pulling Amynta from her back and splitting the blade in two, a handy little trick a Hephaestus kid made for her, she spun the blades light as her feet touched the sand. Smiling wickedly, she let all her thoughts go as she ran at the dummies and chopped or electrocuted them to charred little pieces. They didn't stand much of a chance to her, so she simply fought any imaginary enemy she could imagine. It must have looked funny, the petite girl swinging at the air and jumping or rolling around to dodge attacks that weren't happening.
Oh well, let them have a show. Romans and Egyptians were annoying demigods any ways. Romans were more tolerable since they were similar to the Greeks, but they were so disciplined! It's like someone had to go and hit them on the head with a fun anvil to make them get a clue. And the Egyptians! That annoying lot was the worst, thinking they're higher and mightier than the Greeks and Romans. A culture is a culture, doesn't make one better than another. Though it can make some more annoying than other.
Laughing, Reece put Amynta together before moving to a punching bag. She was still laughing as she practiced every hit and kick she knew and then some on the poor bag. It wouldn't last a month in this training yard, even with the best magical duct tape in the world to fix it. Not like it mattered, they would just go out and get more if need be, that was the best part of having gods and goddesses as parents. They had everything at their fingertips that they were partially willing to give to their kids if the kids asked nicely. 'Nicely... Right... Not here in Cacia.' she thought with another laugh as she kept training. not by their parents or another arrogant being of this world.

Heie Yukianesa  The day was young and Heie decided that he needed a letting exercise, There was no better place to do that then going into cacia and warming up on some of the poor saps who thought themselves to be powerful. Heie was skilled with a sword and his wind magic was nothing to sleep on.
Once there he went and started to stretch just to loosen up his muscles before he sought out an opponent. He couldn't help but notice a large crowd of both men and women staring at a single girl as she trained. He couldn't understand what all the fuss was about so he went to find out for himself.
Inside the large circle of people was a very pretty, blue haired girl. He'd never seen her around before but for some reason he could tell that she wasn't representing the Romans and she was far to cheerful to be and Egyptian. Being his well mannered self Heie walked through the people and spoke out to the woman. You there, Might I ask you your name? He said in a polite tone of voice as he kept his eyes gazed into her own

 Curiosity killed the cat,Reece realized there was a crowd around her and she thought it rather annoying. Should she want to, she could over punch the bag and make it swing into someone's face. That would either make everyone scatter or start one heck of a fight. It'd be fun, testing her skills against so many, but she had a feeling Chiron would scold her for being so reckless and then an Athena kid would come up and lecture her from their mother given wisdom. With a twitch of her lip that almost ruined her smile, her fist paused mid punch as she heard someone speak aloud.
Turning, her pale blue eyes fixated on a blond haired boy. He wasn't half bad looking, but from his garb he was a Roman. His tone of voice, however, wasn't so constricted and precise though. Maybe he disproved her theory about too disciplined Romans. "It is customary to state your own name first, but then again teens never do what is customary." she began as she moved towards the boy. Sticking her hand out, she gave him a friendly grin as she waited him to shake her hand. "The name's Reece, what's yours?" she asked as she judged a bit about him by the strength of his grip.
Hopefully he'd want to spar. He seemed more equipped to do so than some of the wimpy little kids that watched her. Reece approved of him as an opponent, but now she had to wait to see what his next move was. After all, most new acquaintances walked through relations like a chess game. Each move was calculated to benefit the player. but for a while I was a suspect.

Heie Yukianesa He took her hand giving her a firm hand shake and a cool smile as he announced himself. I'm Heie, Nice to meet you He said before letting go of her hand. aren't all these people bothersom? I know I would just blow them all away if I were you. He said letting her hand go and swiping it at the others giving a slight gust of wind

 People say beauty and brains don't mix,"Nice to meet you as well Heie. You're quite different than the other Romans that I've met. You seem to actually have a personality." Reece said with a brilliant smile. Her words might have come across demeaning to any Roman within ear shot, but it was at least a compliment for the cute boy. Sadly he mentioned nothing about sparring so she was left with her own imagination when it came to opponents. Sure she could dream up harpies, gorgons, and other monsters lurking in Tartarus, but nothing compared to a real opponent.
Laughing as she held down her hair as the wind began to blow, all of her watchers were pushed back from the wind. He was a child of a wind god, doubtful it was Aeolus, but maybe Boreas or Zephyrus. Those two never learned to keep their pants on. "Well don't you just come in handy Heie? Remind me to ask you to tag along every time I decide to train." she said with a wink as she motioned for him to follow. It was about time she left the training arena so she could get the pesky sand out of her shoes.
"Would you care to join me outside of this arena? Even with wind it get's a bit too crowded for my taste. Cacia was supposed to be heads of camps only, but some can't resist a good feud." Reece said as they reached the exit. Before she hung out with Heie, she had to make sure he didn't care about the silly feud or acted like his gene pool. Otherwise he'd give her a headache and she'd give him a shock to remember. Just the thought of the shock, though, was enough to make her laugh. He probably had no clue why, but she could never keep back her laughter. but I'm the girl that will prove them wrong.

Heie Yukianesa Heie walked to the exit with her but then suddenly stopped. He had only warmed up with his training and wasn't able to break a good enough sweat . say reece? I've been here all morning and wasn't able to try out my new technique. Would you mind blessing me with a sparring match? He sai holding his sword out in front of him. He had no idea who her parent was, But he always felt that it wasn't the god who made a great warrior, It's the warrior himself and how he uses his abilties.
I promise not to bore you to much. He said as he took a slight leap backwards and lightly floated down to the ground, the wind blew up around him as his feet finally touched the ground. So what do you say pretty misses, You up for a challenge?

 Never look back on your past, for what happened then can no longer be changed.Reece couldn't help but stop when he stopped suddenly. Turning to listen to him with an inquisitive look on her delicate face, a smirk crossed her face as she figured out what he was going to say. Closing her eyes for a second, she opened them while pulling Amynta from its sheath on her back. "I'll help you with your technique, but don't expect me to go easy on you. Especially not after you saw some of my moves while watching me against the bag." she said with a chuckle as she split her blade into two scimitars. She turned them round and round in her hands as she prepared herself.
Taking a step close to him, she began to walk in arc around him as she sized up where she wanted to make her cut. All she needed was one and then it would be an automatic win for her from there. "Trust me, you won't be a bore. But are you sure you'll be much of a challenge?" she asked as she locked eyes on his and stopped in front of him. She knew her target and was ready. Getting a feel of the ground, she moved into her fighting position. He would make the first move so she would see what his style was like. Always know thy enemy. Sure, Heie wasn't an enemy, but for all logistical purposes right now, he was.
'Come one wind boy, make the first move before you go against your word and become a bore.' Reece thought to herself. Everything was still around them and every scrambled up to the seats so they would be out of the way but be able to see the fight. Gossiping mongrels, she hoped she and Heie would blow them all away. Look forward towards your future, for that is what is in your control.

Heie Yukianesa Heie smiled and jumped high for joy as she agreed to face him. His sword was still sheathed in its case. He smirked before quickly pulling for his Sword. The slash was so quick that it only looked like he slightly pulled it out and even then it looked as if he was only putting it back into the case. The attack sent a small shock wave of compressed wind to crash into her
He knew that frontal attack wouldn't be enough so he instantly chased after his own attack so that when she went to block it or evade, He would be right there to counter attack with the proper technique. As the Wave neared her he jumped high into the air, using the assistance of his wind to push him higher in the air.

 I may be small,'Seems like the wind boy has a bit of power in him.' Reece thought to herself as she crouched low to make herself a smaller target against his wind. She wasn't expecting such a simple move to have such an impact to follow, but then again a demigod was taught never trust just one of their sense. Taking a deep breath, she held back her laughter as her hair went swirling around her body. It took only a moment for her to adjust to the pressure before she stood and charged her weapons.
He did what she expected though, he charged with his attack and used it to his advantage. He was in the air as she adjusted, so she had to act quickly. Slashing into the air, she let a crackle of lightning shoot at him. Either he'd get one heck of a shock or he had to back away. Either way, she already jumped up to try to crash her blades into his. If she managed to slide her blade under his defenses, she would be able to make a small cut on his arms or side. Seemed like a good plan, but now she had to follow through. "Please tell me that this wasn't your new technique!" she shouted at him as she quickly thrust Amynta in his direction. but my conviction will overwhelm even the mountains of power.

Heie Yukianesa Seeing the lightning he instantly knew who her father was Fricken Jupiter.... He said as he watched her movement very carefully. The bolt came fast and so he had to move even faster. He made a small wall of compressed wind and kicked off of it heading towards the lightning bolt to meet it head on, At the moment of impact it would seem as if he had gotten hit, But suddenly the image of him vanished, He had used his invisible jumping technique the moment his feet touched the wall of wind. The wind wall had given him an amazing speed boost and so he managed to make a leave behind Image in the air. He was on the ground with his body twisted. No princess, That wasn't my technique, But don't you worry, It's going to come when the time is right! He said as he twisted back, straightening himself back out and unleashing his sword and kicking up a powerful F 5 tornado and sending it directly to her as she was in the air.

 I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. Reece felt a pang of guilt as the lightning almost crashed into Heie, but he magically pulled a Houdini stunt and ended on the ground behind her. That little trick erased any and all guilt she would have in this sparring match. To make matters worse, he called her princess. If anything was to annoy her at the moment from him, it'd be idiotic pet names that she could never run from. "You are going down for that!" she yelled as she did a little flip and fell towards the ground. The tornado barely missed her though it ripped one of her sandals off her feet.
"I better get that back!" she growled at him as she kicked off her other sandal. The sand was soft beneath her feet and gave her a calm sense of serenity to clear her mind. Smiling at him, she charged forward, slashing away to create mini electric currents in most of the directions he may go. The only other thing she could do was a last resort. Damn her bare feet, she'd be able to nick him otherwise. 'Just wait Reece, you'll win. No doubts about that.' she thought to herself as she kept going at him. Lucky for her, she was always filled with energy so right now her goal was to try and tire him out. In so doing, he'd be slower than his normal Houdini self. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?

Heie Yukianesa as the tornado missed her he had to take a moment to recover, after he did He instantly went back on defense Heh, Don't get to upset slow poke He said as he slightly lifted off of the ground in an aura of wind and took off in the other direction to evade her bolts. He still had to recover from using that F 5, Otherwise he was as open as a new born puppy. Hey, Hurry it up princess light bulb He smugly said to her while still running from her attack
He knew he had to come at her with swift attacks if he was ever going to defeat her, trying to beat this girl with raw power was a fools errand. To slow her down more he started to fly backwards and slash his weapon wildly out towards her unleashing wind blades at her that would cut anything it touched instantly in half

 Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.Slightly irritated, Reece jumped far back and watched him evade the bolts still chasing after him. Not only did this conserve her abundant energy, but also kept her away from his counterattacks. She already blow dried her hair once today and did not feel like doing it a second time."One of these days your... humor shall get you six feet under." she said with a brilliant smile as she kept Amynta focused on him. She was tracking his every move and was waiting till he came close to a small sand dune. It was then that she made her strike.
Spinning like a dancer, graceful and with purpose, she sent out an arc that went down towards the ground. At first it looked like she missed him altogether, but then the lightning struck the ground and an arc of glass shot up with jagged ends to cut Heie. Her dad taught her that trick since he knew where the Egyptians would be, sand would be as well. He didn't guess, however, she'd use the trick on a Roman. Oh well, all's well that ends well and she preferred it to end well for her. Continuing her spinning, she either made more glass or sent it into the air whenever he tried to evade. Next time, make a new choice for good and call it a day.

Heie Yukianesa Heie was cut slightly across his face just barely managing to dodge the glass, She seemed to be the sort that would keep her cool so his current tactics seemed useless. Throwing that tactic to the wind ((No pun intended)) He stopped in his tracks and quickly began to slash wildly but very precise at the glass. It was so shiny that he didn't even need to look directly at it. Being born of a wind god gave him a sharp eye sight, Instead he focused most of his attention on the lightning bolts. Doesn't seem at all like these things are going to stop following me As he sliced enough of the glass away he gave a big yell Ahhhhhhhhh! as he focused energy into the palm of his hand and quickly punched it down into the ground and rotating it, The ground rumbled for a second and then twisted into it's self getting rid of all the soft sand and leaving only hard rock, stopping her use of glass on his position. The bolts were closing in fast and so he knew he had to move, This time he had a better idea, Instead of moving to dodge these bolts, He give them a different target.
Heie saw a formation of large and jagged bolder. He had to move quick so he used his wind flick technique to move closer to them quicker. Once there he used the same trick twice as the trick from earlier, instead this time he kicked up a large dust cloud to mask himself from her sight. so the dust didn't effect him (( make him choke)) He manipulated the wind to blow off of himself
