After the first day of classes had been over and done with, Shay had wasted no time in heading to the arena. She was actually one of those people who liked, and tried to pay attention, during class but there was something about being cooped up indoors that rubbed her the wrong way. It was most probably her ADHD kicking in and the dyslexia didn't make learning any less of a nightmare. It was always a point of amusement through for Shay that being half divine simply added up to nothing but disabilities in the mortal world. She had to wonder if this was the work of the Mist and if so then it was a very powerful thing indeed.
Her trip to the arena had been more or less profitable. Since it was just the start of the school year she had been expecting to only be up against dummies. However, this didn't prove to be the case and she had gotten into a rather intense sparring match with a daughter of Poseidon. The match had been quick but brutal. It was said that the grudges and rivalries of one's immortal parent spilled over to their children as well and this match was no acceptation. Both girls seemed to have an equal amount of pride and ego. Neither refused to back down and it took a satyr to step in and pull them apart before they killed each other.
There were several more seconds that were filled with icy death glares and taunts before the Poseidon girl limped off to the infirmary. It was only when the girl was out of sight did Shay allow herself to flop down onto the ground of the Arena. Allowed herself to feel all the bruises and scrapes and cuts she had sustained during the fight. Needless to say it was not pleasant but Shay was never the type to let herself wallow for very long. What she needed right now was a first aid box. Shay knew a thing or two about treating minor cuts and she planned on busying herself with that while the Poseidon girl (she did not get the other's name, there just hadn't been time with all the slashing and kicking going on) got treated at the infirmary. It would be a bad idea for them to be in close proximity to each other right now and Shay did not want to be slapped with a detentions slip. Persephone frowned on students damaging school property and those that the goddess usually frowned on got turned into daisies.
Stretching a little, Shay got her feet under her and pushed herself off the ground. Unfortunately she had totally underestimated just how tired she was and to her horror found that she was pitching forward. Her legs had turned to jelly quite out of their own accord, certainly they hadn't bothered informing the rest of her that they couldn't be bothered to do any holding up anymore. Trying to catch her balance by failing her arms around proved to be in vain. Shay let out a little gasp as the ground rushed up to meet her.
Word count: 532
Muse: Recovering again.

Notes: Feel free to let her face plant if you want.
