Derek grinned from ear to ear, smirking at Agatha. "Come on, Ag. I can't slow down. I'm faster than the speed of lightning, baby girl!" He embraced her as soon as they were close enough. "Listen, I promise that you and I will get out of this. I won't let anyone or anything get to you." Derek felt the need to protect Aggie simply because he could barely protect his mom, the most important female in his life. He looked to Zeno. "You too, man. We're blood. That alone is enough for me to want to help you out. I was you, Zeno. Everyone here helped me out one way or another. You need that too, buddy." When he turned back to Alex. "Bro, dude..." he scratched the back of his neck. "Holy sh*t. That's badass." Derek shook Alex's hand. "Thanks, but if this is about my blowout, dude, you don't have to do this, but on the other hand, it's an honor." Why the hell am I going over the top with this? Shoot. He already said I was co captain. He let Alex's hand go and wrapped one arm around his cousin's neck, giving him a noogie and messing up the kid's hair, then letting go again. "Thanks for grabbing armor for all of us. I love this kid, guys! This is my boy!" Derek bent down to dawn some armor, a full suit including the helmet, breast plate, forearm armor and greaves (shin guards). "Ready." He told the others, standing up and looking toward the sky again, hopes still high that he would see his friend again. Then he looked back at the campers. "Aggie, I know I'm not the boss of you, but I really would feel more comfortable if you'd wear a helmet. Remember last year?" Derek wasn't grinning. "Don't make me relive my mistakes, hon."

Alana made it to the group with time to spare, despite her best friend's reluctance to come to the game with her. "Good boy." Alana smiled fondly down at the jungle cat as went back and forth from her to the armor pile, retrieving her protection for her. She scratched his side after this deed was done, making him purr. "Okay. ???????." Alana ordered. Sabore sat, as ordered. "Oh, now you listen. What? You only respond to Greek commands?" Alana dawned all of her armor within about five minutes, listening to the speech. "Interesting. Hades, Zeus and Hermes. Weird combination." She smirked, twirling her knife between her fingers. "Those Hunters better watch out. Still, Asha's our best trapper. I mean...She can spring them." Sabore eyed Alana as if to ask 'Then why am I here?' "Because I'm bad at talking to people. I need you with me." Alana answered quietly. "You're coming on the quest with me too."

"For Zeus sake, i'm older than you so stop pampering me." Agatha laughed. She may sounded like joking, but she was axtually serious about the time. "I'm already get used to the whole thing. Swordsmanship and other combat related stuff. I can take care of my own self now."


And why in Hades should he keep reminding her of her fail moments? Last year she got trapped in a chaotic fight. She tried to attack using lightning, but got blown back by the force. Luckily, she wore her helmet. Her lightning strike a tree, so no one got injured. She got scolded by Chiron, and after that she oftenly practice on her own. But again, it was last year.


"I don't even wear a shield this year." Agatha grinned. "I guess i'm gonna go full Rambo on them."

Samantha Yu


Mood: Curious / With: Avalon & Zeke @9forgotten, @Federoff/ Location: Hecate table


Why good day" he chuckled lightly raising his hand towards the girl to offer It to shake. "Zeke, it's simply a pleasure to meet you Samantha."


Samantha couldn't help but raise a skeptical eyebrow at the masked guy; his mask was intricate and likely had a technical aspect. She was both interested and taken aback by his mysterious aura. Sam returned the handshake graciously. His hands were metallic hard, but not firm. Samantha's imagination began to run away from her when she thought about if he was trying to hide brutal scars or prosthetic limbs of some kind or another.


"Likewise! Nice to meet you too Zeke! I don't remember seeing you around here... I mean, how could I forget y'know? Um, no offense." Samantha smiled nervously despite herself. She stopped talking for fear of saying something slightly more awkward. 'Another grand exchange,' Sam thought to herself inwardly before facing Avalon once again. "Yeah, let's go, I'd hate for them to start without me." She added dryly, referring to her less than premier skills as a combatant. She wondered what the inside of the Hecate cabin might look like; if it was anything like hers, she was sure there'd be things that would reflect the godly parent of her newfound friend.


"See ya around," Samantha waved to Zeke as she got up from the table.

Zeno Ukwtakun

Mood: Surprised and Cautious / With: Asha, siblings, Chiron & Artemis w/Hunters / Location: Edge of Forest

​

"I'm glad you're confident." She said. "I'm going to let you in on a little secret." She leaned in. "They've creamed us for the last.... Uh... Since We started playing them..." She said honestly.


Zeno's eyebrows went up in shock. He'd have been charmed if not for the ominous note in her laugh. "They have never lost a game? How can that be?" Zeno wondered if they had some set of special skills or tricks they used. He wondered if they were master trappers or shapeshifting spirits. He eyed the bunch again as he pondered the possibilities.


"Uh... Yeah! But it doesn't mean we can't have fun, and that we shouldn't try! Especially because this year, I've got a secret plan."


Zeno ripped his gaze off of the Hunters and onto Asha. Zeno had solid combat skill and could be a pretty technical fighter. He was never the best trapper, even after he left the tribe. He didn't know this girl very well, but he knew a clever person when he spoke to one, therefore the son of Zeus felt inclined to listen.


"Alright! Listen up heroes!" He started. "This will be the first year where we will beat the Hunters." He said in the most serious tone he could muster. "Derek, Son of Zeus. Asha, Daughter of Hermes and I, will be your captains of the game."


"We can win," he supplied the group. He watched as the events began to unfold. Campers approached and gathered around Chiron with weapons of all kinds, including a pair of deathly black daggers, a ring-sword, and even--was that a leopard--not much of whom seemed happy to be there. One thing was sure, a good portion of the demigods of Camp Half Blood simply came to be present. There was no morale in the air. Even the Hunters seemed to be here just for the sake of presence. They didn't boast or jeer, they just stood behind Artemis like almightily confident... gods, for lack of a better word. "I know we can win. Asha, are you able to discuss this plan of yours?"

Avalon Quinn


Mood: Mildly irritated, content| With: Zeke @Federoff , Samantha @G4hardcore | Location: Hecate table-->cabin


Avalon smiled over at Zeke in a slightly dry expression, wondering how the heck he knew her but she didn't know him. "Good to see you too brother." she replied with a sarcastic undertone feeling rather annoyed for whatever reason. "I'm sorry to cut this short, but I must be going now before this wonderful game starts." she said. "I'll see you around, until then." she gave a mock salute, allowing a goofy little smile settle across her features for a moment before turning to Samantha. She paused as she heard the announcement about the game starting soon and watched briefly as campers started crowding around, all armed with their weapons and gear. Smiling some, she beckoned for Samantha to follow her and lead her over to her cabin at a brisk pace. "I apologize for the mess. I'm not one to put things away after using them." Ava said as they walked up to it.


The building itself was made with magic stones, engravings written all over them. Inside, a large table sat just off to the side with books stacked high and papers lying over and around it. Barely visible sat a chair with more things hanging from it. On the walls, posters of anything related to Hecate and her children sat all over the place. A couple diagrams on how to make some basic weapons with magic hung on another wall. Next to it, a jacket with runes written all over it hung and under it a bunch of unused weapons. A few Misinform cards lay around the place. Other then that, everything was typical about the place.


Near where Avalon slept, a sword hung on the wall with a staff leaning against the wall next to it. Picking the sword up, she easily threw it around her waist. Picking up a couple misinform cards, she stuck those in her back pocket before looking around thoughtfully. She wandered over to a rack of random weapons and picked up a sword. "Weapon wise, you can use this if you want? Or any of these really. Unlike my sword, these are all made out of celestial bronze which is technically the more common material. Pretty sturdy, can't remember if there's anything particular about them like magic runes or whatever written in them but either way it outta work. You can take your pick if you'd like and then we can go get your nifty armor before heading out again for this lovely game." Avalon offered with an easy smile.


Most of the weapons were ones previously owned and used by her other siblings but clearly they weren't around anymore for various reasons. Avalon didn't want to donate them to the spare weapons that were used for practice or anyone who didn't have a weapon since some might contain magic in them and she wasn't sure which did or didn't. Plus, to her in some weird way, they held some sentimental value like most things in the cabin. Everything was collected from the few pervious Hecate children and since she hadn't met any of them, she figured the least she could do was hold onto their findings and objects.

  Zanna did not like Dionysus at all, but decided to keep quiet, he would get what was coming eventually; it always happened. But for now she switched her attention over to Alana and nodded slightly once she was about to leave. "Very well, see you soon" she said her goodbye before getting up herself and heading to dispose of her garbage; clicking her tongue lightly to use as a sort of echolocation to avoid bumping into things. She mostly used this trick for indoors or when surrounded by a lot of objects or noise as it was hard for the rest of her senses to cope with all that information at once. Once finished, she headed outdoors and towards the rest of the group, she not needing to grab anything but some light armor to protect her from serious injury, Zanna already had her sword on her like usual. She suspected most kids did as many had them hidden as objects, for her it was a necklace she always wore.
  
  
  Once arriving she listened to the little "pep speech" the boy, Alex, revealed that he, a son of Zeus, and a daughter of hermes were to be Captain's. Interesting, just like always most of them were children of the big three, which was no surprise; but a daughter of Hermes? That was new, hopefully it would mix up the idea's a bit on how they acted...hopefully... She's heard that the hunters had never been defeated, which by itself was already discouraging to hear, but knowing that they are hunters means that they don't abide by the same "rules" they did. They fought differently, making this much more of a challenge.

  Zeke smiled from behind his mask when the girl decided to accept his handshake, but quickly raised an eyebrow at his sister, Avalon, when she became a bit sarcastic; she even seemed a bit annoyed. Was it perhaps, that she did not remember? Perhaps it was for the best though, one less person to know. "You don't seem to happy to see me Avalon" he observed in a mannered tone before she got up and left, not before giving him a mock solute with a silly smile. Zeke gave a small smirk in return, it was good to see that his sister wasn't to mad enough to forsaken a small for him. The two quickly excused themselves before leaving back to the Hecate cabin. He might as well join as he had some of his own stuff to pick up.
  
  
  With that in mind, he forgoed the food that he had harvested from the pavilion and made his own way to his cabin, making sure to give the two girls their own space; he didn't want them to think he was stalking them, that would be terrible for relations.. Along the way he had taken out his notebook and began to go over the new formula he created after this mornings cat-astrophe, maybe he would get it right this time. If not, then it was back to the grind.
  
  
  When he arrived, he casually opened the door and walked in, stopping at the entrance, noticing the girls were already here and grabbing Avalon's stuff, which brought up the question once more to his mind. How could she not remember her own brother? especially when all his stuff was in plain- oh no wait, he locked his stuff up tight and out of plain sight. Never mind.
  
  
  He walked over to his side of the room before reaching for the handle bar the stuck out of a chained up wooden coffin, which contained everything he would need for the game. It was a gift from his mother, who was nice enough to put wheels on the darn thing so it would be easier to move; thank god. The boy then pulled on the handle and cause the coffin to slowly tilt till it was at a angle. He waved to the girls, "I will see you two later, good luck" he politely bid them farewell before hulling the mysterious coffin out to the forest in where everyone was to meet.
  
  
  Once there he saw one of the children of Hades, Oh what was his name? Oh yes, Alex; Alex Greyson, was rallying the others to get pumped. He slightly chuckled to himself at this, it was quite childish but perhaps it would give everyone the moral boost they needed. People did seem quite gloomy. Either way, he pulled out his note book once more after gentling placing the coffin so it was laying on the ground, then preceded to sit on it and read while waiting for further instructions.

Azrael Hunt


Location: Pavilion | Mood: Calm | With: Among the Campers @Celebi @Yuuki Kuran @too much idea


Azrael could only shake his head at the exuberance of some of his relatives as he left to go to his cabin. He needed to prepare after all. A few minutes later and he was giving the obsidian colored Jian a few test swings. He'd already equipped himself with mesh underneath his normal clothes. That was all the armor he would need for this, any more and it became a hindrance to his fighting style. Sheathing the mysterious Chinese forged weapon into it's sheath, he took a single step and melded into a nearby shadow.


A few seconds later and he stepped out of that shadow to stand beside Alex,an eyebrow already raised as he made his presence known. "Please tell me you have some semblance of a plan ready.." Though Azrael personally liked to think they had a lot more firepower than years prior, sheer might without intellect was just a disaster waiting to happen. "Or you have someone working on for us. In either scenario, I'll be guarding the flag."

Derek smiled sheepishly at his older sister. "Actually, I think he'd be on my side on this subject." Maybe he was being overprotective, or maybe he was just being cautious, but he really wanted Agatha to wear a helmet. Then, he smiled and slowly raised Keravnos in a non-threatening manner. "Okay, I'll show you what happens to those foolish to enough to go against Artemis' girls without a helmet." Derek lightly tapped the side of Agatha's head with his weapon. "Easy. They could get you so easily, it's scary. Now just imagine if I was swinging full force." Then, that's when Azrael decided to show up, completely out of the shadows. "Gods!" He whipped around, sending volts of electric hell in all directions, but only within a foot radius. Hey, he had to have some control, yeah? "Don't do that!" Derek calmed down after three or four pounding heartbeats. "I'm not a good planner." He concluded.

Alana found herself giggling as the son of Hades, Azrael, came out of nowhere and scared Derek, the jerk who also started an argument during breakfast. "This oughtta be good." She looked around, searching for her friend. "Zanna!" She spotted the blind girl among the other campers. "Over here!" She pushed through a group of Ares campers, all of whom didn't look too pleased about some scrawny Dionysus kid pushing them around. Alana took Zanna's hand, ignoring the others. "It's me." She greeted her friend. Sabore rubbed his head against Zanna's leg. "Are you able to fight?" Alana squeezed her friend's hand.

Derek tapped Kevranos on the side of her head, trying to convince her to wear a helmet. She just laughs and push it away. "I'm not even trying to evade-"


And that's when Azrael appeared out of nowhere, out of the shadows. Agatha has heard about the children of Hades capable of shadow travelling, but this is the first time she ever saw it up close in real life. It startled Derek so much that he released a small electric shock, which reminded Agatha of something an electric eel would do when they are alarmed by something. Funny, Agatha should tell Asha about this so she would think twice before pulling a prank on him.


"We have three captains, and there's us, the children of Big Three." Agatha started. "Alex and Derek could lead the offensive while Asha held the defensive line, making traps there and there to slow down the Hunters. If they can catch them and put them in the jail, it'll be so much better. Azrael and i could guard the flag. A son of Hades and a daughter of Zeus guarding the flag, the Hunters will have to work very hard to try to steal it from both of us."

Samantha Yu

Mood: Worried / With: Zeke, Max & Avalon, then everyone / Location: Hecate cabin > Hephaestus cabin > Edge of Forest

​

Samantha quickly surmised there was some kind of tension between the Hecate siblings. Though where it came from, she didn't feel at liberty to ask. Zeke and Avalon seemed like nice people on their own, but putting them together? A chemical reaction of some kind. She was curious about it, and as much as it bothered her, he followed Avalon without further inquiry on the matter, and her dog Max followed her in turn. The walk to the Hecate cabin went quick as a flash, and Sam found herself entering a quasi-mystical building with what looked to be runes inscribed in each brick.


The inside didn't exactly match the outside, at least as far as Avalon's area went. It was messy--but no messier than her own quarters. Judgement was the last thing that crossed her mind as the young scientist eyed everything in the room with interest. Max began sniffing around the rom, the smell of magic was apparently quite interesting. As Avalon began apologizing for her disheveled room, Samantha shook her head. "Oh, no no! It's totally cool! I've been here for a day and my room is ab-ooout the same." A smile stretched from ear to ear as she spoke, while her eyes continued feeding on the various sights. Her gaze lingered over some magical diagrams she couldn't quite understand--yet another Hecate mystery. For being so smart, Sam felt there was still much to learn, especially here at Camp Half-Blood.


Then, Avalon picked up a celestial bronze sword and offered it to Samantha. "Weapon wise, you can use this if you want? Or any of these really. Unlike my sword, these are all made out of celestial bronze which is technically the more common material. Pretty sturdy, can't remember if there's anything particular about them like magic runes or whatever written in them but either way it outta work. You can take your pick if you'd like and then we can go get your nifty armor before heading out again for this lovely game."


The daughter of the forge graciously accepted the sword, and was rather surprised to discover how heavy it was in her small hands. "Oh boy. This is gonna be a tough game. It's gonna take my armor just to hold this thing! Er, but I mean, I'm not gonna complain. Heh, let's go." As they were leaving, Zeke entered the cabin, and wished them the best of luck. Samantha smiled appreciatively, "Thanks Zeke, I'm definitely going to need it today."


Samantha quickly headed for her cabin and found her large suitcase under her bed. She pulled it out from underneath and stared for a moment, remembering the original reason she invented the armor in the first place. Max picked up on her tension and nuzzled her thigh lovingly. She exhaled slowly and unzipped the luggage. "Not too shabby?" She pulled out the helmet and rested it on the bed while she quickly donned the exoskeleton. First came the skintight bio mesh underneath, then the magnetically sealed outer plates which gave the armor it's finished appearance. "Uh, thanks for bearing with me. This thing isn't the easiest junk to haul or put on but..." She put on the helmet and the suit came to life with glowing orange lights. Max barked once, perhaps signaling his approval. "I hope it helps." Her voice was basically the same, except for a slight echo effect from the helmet. "Let's do this?" With that, Samantha made her way to the edge of the forest along with the others, her movements accentuated by the slight whirring of the suit's servomechanisms.

  Zanna listened in quietly as people started to discuss battle plans, she didn't exactly have good knowledge on this area and preferred to leave it up to the people who knew what to do, like maybe a child of Athena? That would be excellent right now, but alas, it seemed that no child of Athena came forward to offer input; so it was left to their Captains and the children of the big three it seemed. During her thought process, she felt the movement of many of the other campers nearby, and so didn't expect what was to happen next.
  
  
  Her heart jump, a sharp inhale with the tensing of her whole body as her natural reflex when someone managed to sneak up on her and catch her by surprise. She would normally try and punch someone, but the voice that came next calmed her down and prevented her from carrying out the act. She exhaled heavily, "Don't scare me light that" the blind girl whispered very lightly, easily not heard if one wasn't paying attention. The rest of what Alana said to her finally registered in her brain, she moved her face to face Alana, putting on a small awkward smile. "Yeah of course- why wouldn't I?" Zanna asked in a suspicious fast paced tone, Shit, does she know that I'm blind? I though I covered my tracks pretty well... the girl thought to herself behind her sunglasses, praying that she did not know. During this time she felt something, animal like, rub it's head against her leg; was hat Alana's pet? Did she have a pet? If she did, Zanna didn't know about it, Reluctantly, the girl bent her knees to reach below her and gently placed a hand on the center of the animal's head and lightly stroking it with her finger tips; it feeling to be a feline of sorts. And a big one at that.

  Unbeknownst to any that might look at him, he was actually paying attention to everything that was going on, and it amused him slightly so; and even irritated him. How could these people be so... unintelligent, to put it lightly. He chuckled out loud at the sheer stupidity of some of the campers, "If those are your guy's battle strategies then you might as well give up now" he patronized them lightly from the coffin he was sitting on for their battle plans as he put away his notebook in the pouch he kept it in, some people weren't even wearing armor, people making traps against hunters; whose lively hood is making traps, putting your entire man muscle as a defense? No wonder why they failed every time, they couldn't even come up with a sound strategy; let alone execute one. Even though they were negative words though, he still delivered them in a gentleman's tone of voice, sounding polite even when being blunt.
  
  
  In truth the past few times they were here during his stay here, he had never really payed attention to the games; instead Zeke went after something much more important to him, knowledge. Hmmm, maybe he could run into a hunter that didn't view him as garbage this year and get some actual information out of them, he would love to just be able to dissect their brains for the knowledge of what exactly happens after being selected to be a hunter. He had the general knowledge of what happened, but he wanted full depth information.

Zeno Ukwtakun

Mood: Hopeful / With: Practically everyone @Federoff / Location: Edge of Forest

​

Zeno found himself with a bit more hope every time a small swath of campers arrived. At this point, there were over 30 campers and barely 2 dozen Hunters. The numbers advantage was theirs! The amount of diversity was also surprising to him. Diversity of campers, of weapons (Was that a coffin?!), of armor, and even a few pets here and there, both domestic and exotic. Truly, Zeno was startled when he had seen a girl running with a leopard. At first, he thought she was running away until he realized that was far from the case. With all of this on their side, they couldn't lose!


...Right?


"Please tell me you have some semblance of a plan ready.." Said Azrael "Or you have someone working on for us. In either scenario, I'll be guarding the flag."


It seemed that there were some campers who knew where their skills would be best put to use. Zeno took the opportunity to ponder if he himself could be put to the best use by being on the retrieval team, or the defensive line. He wasn't sure, though he mentally noted that he hoped to stay with his new friend, whether he was on the offensive or the defensive. When Agatha and Derek began an exchange regarding helmets, Zeno cracked a smile. It seemed Derek was something of a protector when it came to his loved ones. A part of him had to agree with Derek on the matter... even if Zeno wasn't wearing any armor... though there was a reason for that.


"We have three captains, and there's us, the children of Big Three." Agatha started. "Alex and Derek could lead the offensive while Asha held the defensive line, making traps there and there to slow down the Hunters. If they can catch them and put them in the jail, it'll be so much better. Azrael and i could guard the flag. A son of Hades and a daughter of Zeus guarding the flag, the Hunters will have to work very hard to try to steal it from both of us."


Zeno nodded in agreement as his biological half sister spoke her thoughts. Her logic seemed very sound, even if he had no idea what the capabilities of his fellow campers were.


"If those are your guy's battle strategies then you might as well give up now" Zeke interjected.


Zeno turned to glance at the boy who spoke; a guy in a metal suit. The one with the coffin. This was easily and by far the strangest weapon any camper had at the gathering. It actually was quite unsettling, and he was strangely glad that this masked camper was on their side. If the demigods were lucky, the Hunters would be as unnerved as he himself!


"What would you have us do?" Zeno asked Zeke. He felt a bit out of place speaking when he was so new, but he wouldn't let the tension deter him from speaking his mind. The guy didn't exactly offer a better plan, or even a reasoning. "Excuse me, my name is Zeno. I mean no disrespect, I simply hope you have something better in mind, if you feel that what my sister has offered is so very inappropriate."

Serenity


Mood: Lonely / With: no one / Location: Edge of the lake


The morning was beginning and breakfast was being served in the mess but Serenity didn't feel like eating. She felt like being alone for the moment. She had just come to camp Half-Blood a week ago and she was still nervous and scared. She didn't believe she belonged there even though a lot of these kids were a lot like her but she still had yet to see anyone truly like her so she stood out. She sat at the lake's edge where she could relax and try to stay as calm as she could but there was just so much going on. First she started breaking out with ice powers, then she was told she had to leave her entire life behind and now she was stuck at some kind of renaissance fantasy land where nothing really made any sense.


She sat at the water's edge and just watched the sun's reflection dance across the mirrored surface, reflecting sparkles and glittering flecks to her ice blue eyes. She couldn't help but feel more drawn to it and how she wanted it to be ice so she could skate on it and bring back a small piece of her life to her. She got up and walked closer to the edge and just watched the beautiful landscape. At least the camp had beautiful views. Her soft pail hand gently fiddled with her platinum blond hair as she softly bit her lip. She wondered if she really did do what she did last time. She also wondered if she could control it. She took a deep breath and crouched down and carefully dipped her finger into the edge of the water and instantly the water began to freeze to such a hardness one could walk onto it. She made the ice about as big as a platter but in a very pretty snowflake design. She smiled and chuckled at herself. She couldn't believe she could do that. She looked behind her to see if anyone was near her to see that witch she would be thankful if there wasn't. She knew that there was some sort of silly game of capture the flag going on today but she didn't know it wasn't optional to participate so she tried to avoid it by staying near the lake.

Mood- Panicked


Location- Poseidons Cabin


Cordelia ties her hair up into a tight bun on the top of her head, gripping her leather jacket and running outside toward the other campers. Oh Gods if I miss this game I will be so upset! How in the world did I miss my damn alarm? she thinks to herself as she runs quickly. Approaching the other campers, she notices the pile of armor on the ground. Cordelia skids to a stop before colliding with a tall child of Zeus, she believed his name was Derek.


"Oh I'm sorry! Oops!" She laughs as she steadies herself. As she finally has a moment, Cordelia pulls on her light coat, looking around at the other campers before settling her eyes on the presumed leader.


"May I use this armor? I know I'm sorry I'm a tad late to the party, but if I have to be on the other team I understand. But uh..you guys look like the winners." She says to him with a smile. With no prior thought to who's team she would be on, Cordelia hoped she could get on his good side and they would pick her up.

Azrael Hunt

"If those are your guy's battle strategies then you might as well give up now

Azraek frowned, and was about to say something when another camper, Zeno as a matter of fact took some of the words he was about to voice right out of his mouth.

What would you have us do?" Zeno asked Zeke. He felt a bit out of place speaking when he was so new, but he wouldn't let the tension deter him from speaking his mind. The guy didn't exactly offer a better plan, or even a reasoning. "Excuse me, my name is Zeno. I mean no disrespect, I simply hope you have something better in mind, if you feel that what my sister has offered is so very inappropriate."

"I agree with Zeno. If you feel as if there is something wrong with our strategy then feel free to poke whatever holes in it that you can. We're all in this together and I appreciate constructive criticism. As for the reasoning behind my own desire to guard the flag, I'm able to shift the environment to my advantage. I can make it very hard for the Hunters to even reach the flag and if they get close I can wreak havoc on them using my own abilities. The back up I'll have will only further our chances at successfully guarding the flag." Azrael finished, before cocking his head at the son of Hecate.


"Now that's of course only the base aspect of the plan, the details of which I will hope to iron out now. If you have anything to say or add, then speak now. Any weaknesses you might point out are surely weaknesses others can and I hope to eliminate as much of them as possible."

Agatha's planning intrigued Derek. "You sure you ain't Athena's kid, baby?" Derek spoke like a greaser from the 1960's, but was definitely a 90's baby, like most of the camp population. "I like your plan, Aggie. Good job, but I'm asking you as captain and your brother that loves you very much to put on a helmet." He couldn't stop thinking of his mom in the electrician's office years ago. "I know Zeno would want this too, honey." Derek scooped up a helmet, then just as quickly dropped it as he's almost knocked over by a newbie. "Cordelia..." he was a quick study when it came to names. It kinda came with the territory as a demigod. If he didn't know who or what someone or something was, he wouldn't know how to kill it or avoid its attacks. "Hey, baby girl." Though he was annoyed that she was late, he smiled and nodded. "Nah, I was gonna make you run back and forth to the armory fifty times to remind you that time is everything." Derek chuckled to himself. "No worries. Just get suited up. Be smart and wear all your gear, baby girl."

No, Alana didn't know Zanna was blind, but she did know that Zanna had a walking stick, so she assumed there was something physically wrong with her friend. "Sorry." She apologized quickly after Zanna revealed that Alana had scared her. "Didn't mean to. Just a little excited, ya know? It's nice to be able to kinda be normal before, well, we're judged." Alana just shrugged. "No reason other than you were clicking your tongue during breakfast." She noticed her two best friends finally interacting. Sabore was even purring, well, chuffing, as only big cats could do. "Good boy. You remember the pet my dad was talking about at breakfast?" Alana asked her fellow demigod. "Well, this is Sabore. He's a leopard, Dad's sacred animal."

Zeke

Zeke turned his attention to the first person who decided to speak after his comment, Zeno; another son of Zeus, asking if he had a better plan then that. He inhaled lightly, "It is no disrespect, in fact asking was the smart thing to do lad" he assured Zeno in his well-mannered tone that he used when out and about, he thought it was better to let him sound polite so that way people would just not bother him as much as they could. "Let's start the dissection shall we?" he paused a bit before turning his attention to his half-sister, Agatha, "First of all, without any armor on you are nothing more then a complete liability to us. One well placed arrow and you will be the next on my dissecting table, additionally you are a resource for the enemy to draw upon and believe me they will" was his starting point, pausing to let that sink in before moving to the next negative point, "And using traps against hunters? Really? Hunters trap for a living dear, they will know all the tricks in the book and will use them against you much more efficiently then any of you could, they aren't the disciples of Artemis for a reason dear" Zeke then decided to shift focus to the more positive side of the spectrum, "Now you did actually start to form a idea that resembles use, having a few of the more powerful people defend while sending the other more powerful kids out to get the other flag. But having a Hades kid guard when they could use their shadow powers to help bypass the hunters and collect the flag isn't exactly the best use of resources in my opinion; but there are positives to both side of the argument" the mysteriously masked man continued on, pausing to turn to the newest member of the group that spoke out at him "Do not get me wrong, you did have a few good idea's but they could use more development. For example, I know I will be one of the people to defend as I don't plan to carry around a coffin, so that makes three guards. Around us, keeping a few of the more...intelligent fighters around to scout would also be good. For the main forces" Zeke paused once more as if he was carefully thinking over his words, "Have the more ares like fighters follow the assault tea, it would be best to break into two teams so that way you have two times the chance to take out hunters while having increased shot at finding the flag" he finished his explanation, hoping that he would not have to repeat anything as he hated to do that so much. It was a waste of time and energy in his opinion

"You sure you ain't Athena's kid, baby?" Agatha laughes at Derek's comment, but frowned as she listen to his request yet again. "I like your plan, Aggie. Good job, but I'm asking you as captain and your brother that loves you very much to put on a helmet."





"Last time i see a spider, i didn't scream or pass out. So yeah, i'm not her daughter." Agatha shook her head. "Give up, Derek. I'm not going to wear a helm-"


"If those are your guy's battle strategies then you might as well give up now" A camper commented from behind, suprising Agatha. She turned to see Zeke. The son of Hecate is hard to forgot, with his weird plague doctor outfit and his... eccentric behavior. Before Agatha could say anything, Zeno step up and asked one for her.


"What would you have us do?" Zeno asked. "Excuse me, my name is Zeno. I mean no disrespect, I simply hope you have something better in mind, if you feel that what my sister has offered is so very inappropriate."


"I agree with Zeno. If you feel as if there is something wrong with our strategy then feel free to poke whatever holes in it that you can. We're all in this together and I appreciate constructive criticism. As for the reasoning behind my own desire to guard the flag, I'm able to shift the environment to my advantage. I can make it very hard for the Hunters to even reach the flag and if they get close I can wreak havoc on them using my own abilities. The back up I'll have will only further our chances at successfully guarding the flag." Azrael added. He sounded like a leader. "Now that's of course only the base aspect of the plan, the details of which I will hope to iron out now. If you have anything to say or add, then speak now. Any weaknesses you might point out are surely weaknesses others can and I hope to eliminate as much of them as possible."


Zeke proceeded to explain his reasoning behind that, and even pinch in a two or three sugestion. Agatha listened to him, the guy may be weird but what he said makes some good sense. He pointed out the fact that the traps won't work against the Hunters because, well, that's what they do out there. Making traps to kill a monster, the traps set up by the children of Hermes will look like a childplay to them.


"But they could also use their shadow travel to quickly intercept the Hunter, if they managed to somehow break throught the guards and steal the flag." Agatha commented.

Cordelia smiles slyly, knocking his arm lightly with her. "You children of Zeus, with your pet names and 1000 watt smiles. You could charm the pants off a satyr. But I don't think we've been introduced properly. You know my name obviously, but I don't believe I know yours, cousin," she says with a grin before bending down, picking up a chest plate made of leather, and ties it around herself. "I'm Cordelia Marsino, daughter of Poseidon." Cordelia picks up a sword before standing straight once again, glancing around at the other demigods.


Listening in to them discussing strategy, Cordelia is ready. She knows her powers are limited on a land fight, but if she is able to travel by the river, her heightened abilities could be quite useful. She picks up a small circular shield, feeling its weight on her arm. Her last 2 years here have been nice, she now notices the vast improvements shes made in her combat skills and battle strategy. But decides that she best let the boys handle it. With a snarky smile, she settles for the back of the pack, making her own plan in her head. If they decide she's of use, great. If not, she'll make herself of use.

Mood: Lonely / With: no one / Location: Edge of the lake


Serenity's lips curled into a delighted and relieved smile as she continued to play with her powers and turning the water into ice. "This is amazing." she said to herself and continued to spread the ice patch further and further in a smooth surface then stopped and stood up looking at her hands then got a delighted idea. She looked around once more to make sure she was alone before turning her attention to the water and took a deep breath, "If I can do that on a small scale...I wonder what else I can do. Let's just find out." she then concentrated and held her hands out and she began to freeze a path of water straight out and started to walk on it and leading further out then stopping on a platform there. Taking another breath she closed her eyes, held her hands out her sides pointed at the water and spun and froze a rink sized glacier with walls going up the sides so she would not fall into the water. She looked around in surprise and happiness and couldn't believe she could do this. She wondered what her father would think of her now and how proud of her he'd be that she could do something so amazing and beautiful.


She looked at her feet and waved her hands over them and turned her whose into ice skates and smiled and giggled. She was so happy she began to sing and skate around. "If you were with me now


I'd find myself in you


If you were with me now


Your the only one who knew


All the things we planned to do


I want to live my life


The way you said I would


With courage as my light


Fighting for what's right


Like you made me believe I could


And I will fly on my father's wings


To places I have never been


There is so much I've never seen


And I can feel his heartbeat still


And I will do great things


On my father's wings


This world I'll never see


My dreams that just won't be


This horse's stride


With one days ride


Will have covered more


Distance than me


But I will fly on my father's wings


To places I have never been


There is so much I've never seen


And I can feel his heartbeat still


And I will do great things


On my father's wings


Someday with his spirit to guide me


And his memory beside me


I will be free to


Fly on my father's wings


To places I have never been


There is so much I've never seen


And I can feel his heartbeat still


And I will do great things


On my father's wings


On my father's wings"


She sang to her hearts content and desire as her skates sliced at the ice, making her glide across the frozen water platform. Using her powerful legs she jumped and spun and landed on one foot with the other raised and her arms outstretched and he back straight. She then turned and started to get serious as she sang and skated. She began skating in a straight-line approach into a right forward inside and did three turns. She then vaults into the air from the right back outside edge with an assist from the left toe pick, and planted well behind the right foot, before rotating counterclockwise in the air and landing on a right back outside edge with her arms outstretched and leg firmly and equally outstretched in a graceful pose. Her technique was flawless and graceful and very passionate. She loved skating alone but she missed her father terribly and he would often cheer for her after one of her private performances for him after which he would buy her some hot coco and they'd sit and talk for hours. She felt so alone here but this little area was her sanctuary for now.

  Zanna awkwardly smiled once again, great now what was she suppose to say? "Oh...It was just a part to a song" she quickly covered herself, spewing out the first thing that came to mind. Yep, no going back now, hopefully Alana didn't press the issue further, she didn't like lying to someone; let alone a friend. She soon relaxed though as the conversation changed to the cat that she was petting, her suspicions correct; it was a bigger feline, a leopard. The blind girl found petting Sabore relaxing, therapeutic as many would put it, and so it helped her calm down and return to a more "normal" set of mind. She began to wonder when, and if, they would ever start; as they had been here for a while now. While continuing to pet the big cat, she spoke out again. "I wonder when we will begin" was what Zanna stated, leaning the conversation more and more to more casual topics; hoping to avoid going back to their previous one.

  Zeke raised his gloved hand, one finger sticking up while the others were curled into a fist, "Aha! There you go, now you are thinking logically dear; we can start to make progress" he smiled from behind his mask, happy as they were finally making progress; it taking just as long as he hoped. Maybe someday he could start to train them like dogs, with positive reinforcement perhaps? He mentally chuckled at that thought, maybe a though for another day. Even though his words were a bit on the ruder side, he genially was pleased with what had gone on, Now you need to work on using the tools you were given without a jump start Zeke thought to himself while considering his next words as usual. "Now as I said before, there are positives as well as negatives to this idea. What you brought up is a good point, but it is an obvious tactic if we are not careful. A direct guard would not be wise, but instead a stealth guard. If they do manage to break through the defenses, if we have our shadow walking friend hiding and waiting instead of fighting, he would have ample amount of time and energy to capture the holder of the flag with ease" was Zeke's point to the daughter of Zeus, this was truly what Zeke thought would have a chance of working on the hunters. True it was more of a Guerrilla warfare tactic then the previous mindset of the other campers, but these would be the same thought process as the hunters he thought, as hunters were notorious for these kinds of things.

"Aha! There you go, now you are thinking logically dear; we can start to make progress" Zeke replied. He sounded happy and satisfied, and there's a pause before he continued. "Now as I said before, there are positives as well as negatives to this idea. What you brought up is a good point, but it is an obvious tactic if we are not careful. A direct guard would not be wise, but instead a stealth guard. If they do manage to break through the defenses, if we have our shadow walking friend hiding and waiting instead of fighting, he would have ample amount of time and energy to capture the holder of the flag with ease"


"Are you saying that we let them take the flag? Then intercept them and take all of them down in a carefully planned ambush?" Agatha grinned. She likes this idea. The Hunters will let their guard down since they probably expect all the Big Three children to be in the offensive. "Let's place two camper to guard the flag. Use them as a red herring. The Hunters will come in a team, probably four or five. While the other three or four attack and distract the guard, one will snatch our flag and rush. Azrael could jump and intercept that hunter, and together with the two camper handle the rest of the hunters."

Noah sat with the Apollo kids during breakfast in the Dining Pavilion. There were very few demigods of Asclepius. So he was placed with the Apollo kids whose father was the father of Asclepius. Whilst Noah was far better at healing and medicine than most Apollo demigods, he was always slightly jealous at their other talents. Apollo children could have a variety of affinities from music to poetry to archery. After breakfast, Noah made his way to the lake. On his free time, he would try and experiment and make medicines with help from the plant growing skills of other demigods like Ceres children. The lake water was particularly nice and Noah liked to use the water as a base for his medicine. He knew that ambrosia was better than traditional medicine, but it was something he could perhaps grow into a business should he leave camp.


While filling some vials up with the water, he felt it turn strikingly cold. Looking around, Noah saw a girl with white hair. Apparently she had formed an ice rink in the lake. Perhaps with some ice powers? He knew there was a god associated with ice and the cold but he couldn't exactly recall who. Noah watched in amazement as the girl skated on her newly formed ice rink. As she skated she sang. Noah could see a few solemn thoughts cross her face. "Wow! That's quite impressive!." Noah shouted to the girl as he walked around the lake, closer to where her ice rink was formed.

Mood: Lonely / With: Noah/ Location: Edge of the lake


Serenity continued to practice her favorite sport, figure skating. She used to compete but when her powers surfaced she had to quit and mysteriously vanish and hid here. She kept singing and skating and jumping but in the middle of a triple sow cow she heard a voice call to her and draw her from her concentration and freedom back to reality, causing her to miss the landing and fall hard onto her ice. The hard impact made her body flail a little uncontrollably and her right leg game across with the blade on her skate and cutting her left leg in the process but thankfully not deeply and nothing that would not heal properly over time if treated. She shrieked out in pain at the sudden shock and cut. Once laying on the ice she took a few deep pained breaths and looked down at her injured leg which was now bleeding but it was only a shallow cut but a long one due to the blade that cut her. She slowly sat up and carefully pressed her cut against the ice to help cool the blood and slow the bleeding to help coagulate it and help it heal faster and keep from getting infected. She then looked up to find the source of the voice and found it to be another demi-god. She gave a weak smile, "Don't you know not to surprise a skater when on the ice? Especially not in the middle of a jump?" she asked but still smiled kindly letting him know that she wasn't mad.

Noah inhaled sharply as he watched the girl lose concentration and fall on the ground. He could see blood flowing from an injury. He quickly came around to her on the ice. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry." Noah said as he shakily glided across the ice rink to the girl. The girl smiled weakly. "I'm not typically around ice skaters..." Noah said apologetically. He looked down at the leg. Nothing was broken, but the cut was bleeding. The girl was pretty smart and used the ice to help the wound. "Exscuse me..." Noah gently placed his hand over the girl's cut. His hand began glowing with a pale yellow light. The wound began close and heal. "My name is Noah." The young demigod began. "Son of Asclepius, the god of medicine. Healing is my specialty." Noah said as he healed her wound. "Are you new here?"

Serenity carefully lifted the wound so he could see to it. She gave a small chuckle, "Not many have, though to be honest if I was better I wouldn't have fallen." she said making a small joke at herself and her injury. She was amazed when the boy's hand began to glow and her gash had closed and she was no longer in any pain. "Wow! That's amazing! I'm Serenity, daughter of Chione, the goddess of ice and snow...as is apparent..." she said and blushed at her ice and waved her hand and brought most of the ice down and made the ice they were on take them back to land where she got up and tested out her healed leg by hopping on it. "I actually just got here yesterday. I was just trying out my abilities to try and get a sense of what I can do. Apparently I can make an ice rink but I can't keep from falling. Mind if I thank you?" she then concentrated in her hands and waved them and held them out as if holding a rose and a rose made of pure frosted ice appeared and when she took a breath and blew on it the frost blew away to reveal a crystal clear ice rose. She smiled as she was proud of herself for it and handed it to him. "Thank you for coming to my rescue, brave and gallant sir." she then couldn't stifle a giggle at herself. She didn't even to remember she was hurt.
