{{Post|Atalanta|Atalanta made it a point to try and maintain as much distance as possible from her sister. She wasn't suited for fights at a short distance. She brought her bow for a reason, after all. She has her sword, but she really, ''really'' doesn't want to pull it out. In an attempt to avoid her kick ''and'' her katana, the daughter of Apollo surges back. She almost falls, and is grateful that she manages to find her footing. The katana managed to slice her skin open just a little. It was a superficial cut that she knew would heal rather quickly, so she doesn't fret over it, instead making herself busy with putting some distance between them by braking into a run, trying to use the steam to conceal her as she hops from close island to close island. One of them has loads of trees and rocks, and she quickly realizes it's the ideal spot to hide in. Dropping behind a collection of rocks, she ducks, hoping to stay out of Lena's line of sight while she gets her act together and makes a quick plan of action. ''Come on, Ayteria. Think fast.''}}
At first glance the arena seems to be hills of lush vegetation surrounded by some sort of fog, however on closer inspection, it is really islands of vegetation and hills suspended over lava rivers and fire beneath, so watch your step, the fog isn't fog at all but steam from where there are streams flowing off the sides of the islands and down onto the lava below.
On the top level of the arena it is open to the air above, and has lush green vegetation and hills, lots of shadows, lots of places to hide. Some of the islands are only a few feet across, more like stepping stones, while some are quite large, the central one being the largest with a Greek style building at the top.
Within the Greek style building there are a few 6 foot tall Greek statues
Beneath the "islands" the lava an fire below are broken apart by rocky areas that are free of lava and fire
There are some stone steps leading down towards the lava/fire beneath at various points
For as long as she can remember, Atalanta has never been abundantly good with weapons. She pins the blame on the lack of training with sharp blades. Because she doesn't come with the intention of fighting in close range, she has dressed accordingly, with black leggings, a CHB hoodie, and her pair of Nike trainers. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail so it doesn't get in the way. She also has her bow slung around her shoulder, and her quiver slung around her back, filled with explosive arrows. She doesn't know what lays ahead of her, but whatever it may be, she's sure she's ready for it.

Lena took a deep breath as she entered the fiery arena. Inhaling the large amounts of smoke, Lena gagged slightly, then rearranged her clothing: a red flannel shirt, light blue jeans, and tan tennis shoes. Running her hand through her loosened hair, she glanced at her opponent expectantly. Sheathed at Lena's side was a Celestial Bronze katana, and across her back was a Celestial Bronze bow with several arrows in a quiver. Lena stared her opponent down; she just received her promotion to head counselor. She wasn't allowing anyone to take it away from her without a fight.

Character's Powers
====Offensive====
Children of Apollo have the ability to focus intense beams of light from their eyes which will burn through objects and melt through regular metals.
Children of Apollo can create solar flares that come off their body, and essentially act as ropes of intense heat and plasma. These ropes can act as extensions of themselves and used in a whip like manner.
Defensive
Children of Apollo have the ability to create a very large protective dome of bright light and heat around them. No one can enter their dome without feeling intense dehydration, and have the ability to faint. People cannot look into the dome so the user can effectively conceal themselves in plain sight.
Children of Apollo are able to foresee potential future attacks, allowing them a short span of time to prepare for these attacks.
Passive
Children of Apollo feel stronger during the day and heal quicker during the day.
Children of Apollo have the ability to quickly heal minor wounds and slowly heal major for themselves and for others, but not fatal wounds
Children of Apollo are able to withstand heat and plasma, although both can feel uncomfortable
Children of Apollo have the ability to manipulate the light around them to be bright or darker
Children of Apollo can see through extreme brightness.
Supplementary
Children of Apollo can teleport themselves by manipulating light photons. Essentially, it’s them moving at the speed at which light travels, but using the light itself to help them travel and travel through objects that light can pass through. They need to be careful to not attempt to travel anywhere that has something that blocks light, because it will immediately halt their travel.
Children of Apollo have the ability to create multiple temporary light sources, like sparks of bright light, which act as flashes that can either temporarily affect someone’s vision, or distract them.
Children of Apollo can curse someone to sing loudly for a fair amount of time, the target can fight and operate while singing. But they cannot hide and could suffer from a sore throat over time.
Children of Apollo have a minor degree of control over diseases and plagues, and not to the extent that they can cause death. They also have minor control over infections, but not to the extent that they can cause death. They can cause a person to temporarily break out in hives, rashes, and boils. They can also cause a person to feel overcome with minor flu-like symptoms such as nausea, congestion, sore throat, etc for a short amount of time.

Children of Apollo can create massive waves of heat and radiation that can span a large area around them. This can cause people to get heat stroke, dehydrate quicker, and if close enough to the user, cause hallucinations. The longer this power is used, the less hot it becomes, until the user simply runs out of heat and energy.
6 Months After Character is Made
Children of Apollo are able to manipulate music in their head to play outside of themselves, and amplify it in different places in the surrounding areas, so much so, that they create shock waves from those areas. This essentially allows them to create miniature music explosions capable of blowing people away. They have to be able to visualize the area in which they're sending the music. No one is immune to the sound so this could cause potential danger to themselves and their allies. The more they use this power, the more exhausted they become.
9 Months After Character is Made
Children of Apollo have the ability to shed their flesh and turn into a bright purely plasmic state for a short time and while in this state, the user is granted flight, immune to all attacks, receives a boost in their already existing photokinetic abilities and anything they touch is intensely burned. Due to their brightness, looking directly at them is extremely painful. Once the user changes back they will be extremely drained, nauseated and immobile for a long time.
Traits
Most children of Apollo are experts at basketball and other missile weapons or games.
Since Apollo is the God of Music, his children are natural musicians and singers. Able to master any instrument instantly and learn any song with ease.
Since Apollo is god of prophecy and oracles, his children are innately better at interpreting prophecies than others.
Children of Apollo can grow up to become great doctors in any field of medicine.
As Apollo is the god of protection of the young, his children are often inclined to protect and defend those younger than them.
Children of Apollo are usually in better moods during the day and enjoy waking up early.
Children of Apollo are more likely to be born with perfect pitch
Children of Apollo are natural shots, and generally have good vision.
Atalanta's smile was noticeably more forced when she registered Lena's arrival through the lava's steam. Truth be told, she hadn't expected Lena to show up. She had never seen her sister confident enough in herself to take on a challenge like this. Furthermore, she knows she should have expected it. How else did she become Head Counselor, if not by means of a challenge? Nevertheless, Atalanta refuses to let this deter her. She stands a long way away from Lena, but she speaks loudly, hopeful that her sister will hear her. "Good luck!" Turning her back on her opponent, Atalanta does her best to disappear out of the other girl's line of sight, hoping that by doing so, she'll gain some leverage.
"Roses are best when taken care of with perfection."
Lena waved to her sister, watching her try to hide. Shrugging, Lena followed her, knowing that in an arena filled with lava and volcanic rock, hiding for a long period of time likely wouldn't be safe. Lena's mind was elsewhere, however: would her sister actually beat her? Is it possible? Lena shook her worries from her mind; she had a battle to complete, after all.
