//There is snow, forgive me as snow is a gift from the gods. I was raised in nevada, please forgive me.//


Damion smiled at their remarks at the old truck. He put the keys and turned on the car. It roared to life and it seemed to be cleaning itself to look like a truck made a week ago. "What was that guys?" Damion said sarcastically as he pulled into the road. He worried about his sister, and where she might be. Damion continued to drive despite his nervousness.

Teresa was pacing back and forth in her room. Every now and then she would stop and take a breath before returning to her pacing. "I know he is my older brother and all, but I still can't help worrying!" She exclaimed to no one. 'Dang it! I wish I paid attention to what is going on. I know he went on a quest and that's it. How dangerous is this quest? When will he come back? Will he get me a souvenir?' She wondered. After another half an hour (thirty seconds) she made sure he brooch was fastened on to her favorite jacket before stepping into the shadows. In less than two seconds she appeared behind her brother. "Don't yell! I was worried!" She exclaimed as she fiddled worriedly with her brooch. "Nice truck."

Katarina, being next to Damion in the truck, jumped at the appearance of Teresa and hit her head on the roof. She cried out in pain and covered her head with her hands, tears forming in her eyes.

 

[Marvinok]

"I was worried about you Teresa! You showed up at camp right after I left!!" Damion said, keeping his attention on the road. Damion looked side to side as he stopped and let the people pass. He continued driving afterwards. Damion glanced at Katarina and frowned. "Don't cry, we are going on a quest." He said.

 

[Peaceswore]

"I'm sorry ok! I got caught up in something!" She huffed before glancing at Katarina "Sorry for surprising you." She said with a grin. "Anyway! What's the quest? And is anyone in the front seat?" He asked as she looked over to the passenger side.

 

[Marvinok]

"No, not right now. Don't shadow travel again, you've seen the effects. Just climb there if you want it." Damion said, keeping his eyes on the road and looking for any suspicious people.

 

[SweetCat2319]

"I know sorry...that just hurt" Her cheeks were red in embarrassment and she looked away. She wondered why she had to be such a clutz and so jumpy. She smiled at Teresa "Its fine." She pressed close to the window and stared out still feeling embarrassed.

 

[Peaceswore]

"The faith you have. Obviously I wouldn't shadow travel to a place that's a few inches away unless it's in a fight." She said with a grin as she stepped over to the passenger seat carful not to get into Damion's view. "What's the quest and who should I be on the lookout for?" She asked noticing how he didn't even glance at her, which meant he was looking for something important.

 

[Andrea Logan]

Lamia stared wide eyed at Teresa. "How nice of you to drop in Teresa..... Literally" Lamia looked at Katarina and patted Katarina's back. She turned to Damion and glared. "She just hit her head and is in a world of pain and you just say 'Don't cry were going on a quest'?" Lamia shook her head and got a tissue from her tiny pack in her pocket. She gave Katarina the tissue and smiled. "When we get to a rest stop I'll get some ice for you."

 

[Marvinok]

"Just looking for any monsters." Damion said, "And the quest Ajax can explain." Damion continued to watch the road.


//Doing a thousand things at once sorry.//

 

[SweetCat2319]

Katarina smiled at Lamia and took the tissue gratefully. She glanced at Damion and then back at the window. She wiped her eyes and then stared at the window.

Ajax jumped slightly at Teresa's sudden appearance, shaking his head. "Welcome to the party." He smiled faintly, tilting his head to the side.

"Ok. long story short, God's are fighting. The usual, Zeus vs. Hades, except Hades has some major players on his team and he's trying to resurrect Cronus. Right now the plan is to convince them to give it a rest, and if they don't, we fight to make sure Hades doesn't get to Cronus. He has to stay dead." Ajax was rather proud of his briefing. "Since we have two children of Hades here now, this should be easier... hopefully." He raised a hand to scratch his trimmed beard. "Maybe we can make it there without trouble, maybe not."
​

 

[Peaceswore]

"Really!? What is father thinking!" Teresa exclaimed as she facepalmed. "And of course there is going to be trouble, even with Damion and I." She muttered as she stared out of the window hoping to find... "What am I looking for exactly?"

 

[TheWriter]

"Anything and every-" Before he could finish, a loud almost eagle-like sound interrupted him. But that wasn't it, the sound was continuous and wasn't alone in it's cries.


"Damn it-" Ajax leaned towards the window to look up, it was clear that the things in question were up high. Then he saw it. "Harpies!" Three to be exact, from what Ajax could tell, anyway. Three beasts with giant bird-like bodies, but with the head of a human. They were aiming to grab the truck, trying to tip it over. "Try to dodge them Damion, step on it!" He ordered and the three beasts continued to pester them.


They had just left and already things were heading down hill. Who sent the harpies? He didn't have time to think it through, as one managed to land in front of the truck a few yards ahead, trying to block their way. It was going to take them a while to loose the winged creatures, he concluded that they had to get rid of them. Sadly, Ajax had no long-ranged weapons and he asked anyone who did to put it to practice. Ajax looked at their surroundings. Pure forest. Grass, moss, tress and...ah, trees. The man tightened his gloves. "Damion, slow down a few miles, im going to try something..." He looked at everyone in the truck, smirking slightly.


"Training starts now."


And with that, he opened the door to jump and roll out of the still moving car-- quickly standing and running as one of the Harpies took notice and aimed his way. "Distract them!" He yelled, bobbing through a few trees to mix up the large animal.
​

 

[Peaceswore]

Teresa rolled down the window and leaned her upper body out. "Drive straight and warn me of any traffic!" She yelled at Damion. "Okay time for a bit of target practice.' She thought as he closed her eyes and clamed her hear rate. When she opened them again her hands were ignited with blue flames. "Hahah! I did it!" She said happily before going into serious mode. She brought her hands back and shot two blue fireballs at the harpy chasing Ajax. Before she had a chance to see if she hit, a harpy dove down to snatch her.

 

[Chayliel]

Jayce was very confused. He had smelled something but he thought it was just a bird. But when the harpy screeched he was forced to cover his ear with his hands. He was in pain from the piercing screech. He never wanted to have such increased senses but it had some ups AND downs. When he saw Ajax jump out of the car Jayce yelled out, "He needs help. Ill do it!" He back flipped out of the car just for show and he smiled at everyone. He felt great but he quickly turned after Ajax, following his scent to find him.

 

[Andrea Logan]

As soon as they stopped Lamia hopped out of the car and walked in front of the truck. One of the harpies took notice of her and advanced. Lamia looked up at the harpy and crossed her arms. "We are trying to get to Olympus and you are distracting us!" Lamia pointed at the harpy and the ground shook. A second later cracks formed in the ground with gallons of water shooting up threw them, heading towards the harpy. The water slammed into the harpy and she fell back several yards and hit the ground hard. Lamia touched her earrings and they turned into blades. Lamia walked over to the harpy with her blades ready.


// I am off today so I will be able to reply quicker. //

{I'm just gonna send Lia back to bed right now. Poor little girl's recovering from jet lag after being in Australia over summer. Call me when you need Lia/ it's Christmas. I'd never miss Christmas. Gifts and all that schist, yum.}


Lia watched them clamber into the truck with mild interest, but the thought faded almost as soon as it came as she swiveled around and stalked back to her cabin, pulling herself up into the bed. Normal people needed 8 hours of sleep. Demigods usually only got 6. Lia needed 12. Goodnight and good luck... What was I saying...? Nevermind *yawn* she thought drowsily as she slumped onto the pillow and promptly went back to sleep. Jar nestled beside her, snorting as he dreamt peacefully about dog bones and whatever dogs dream about. Maybe fancy toilets to drink out of.

Ajax would have normally wanted to sit back and watch everyone get to work, but there were still Harpies in the air that they needed to get rid of. The kids were now distracting them, and even giving them a good beat down- this gave Ajax enough time to climb the tallest tree he could find. Once he got to the very top, he raised a hand to lift to his mouth, taunting the Harpies-- the one who was chasing him earlier, who snatched Theresa up and threw her down noticed and flew his way.


"Ok, ok-" He mumbled as the Harpy rushed his way, as soon as the creature was close enough, he jumped and landed on his back. That was the easy part. The not-so-easy part was staying on long enough to take it down. Lucky for him, the beast had a head on a human. So he latched one arm around it's neck, squeezing tightly, and used the free arm to blind it. It let out a sharp scream and dashed from left to right in the air in attempts to shake him off, but he held on.


By now the creature was exhausted and so was he, so he used both of him arms now to squeeze its neck and cut-off the airflow. The Harpy struggled, but eventually descended to the ground, shaking vigorously. After another minute of tightly squeezing, the Harpy lost consciousness. Finally it was still enough for him to deliver the final blow. He forcefully hit the Harpy's temple, his gloves helping with his strength, and the beast finally fell completely limp. Dead.


Ajax was exhausted, and stood up and wiped the blood off his right hand (from the hit) on the bird's feathers.


Two more Harpies to go...


but he would wait to see what he had to work with, see the kids in action.

Katarina had an idea. Her father used to get violent sometimes when he got extremely drunk. She may not have been used to wielding a sword but she did have some skills. Opening her window she jumped out and swung herself on the roof of the cab part of the truck. Standing up, trying her hardest to keep steady, she had her rings turn into her swords. Calling up to the harpy closest to her she shouted "Hey,z Wannabe Vultur, come taste my sword! I bet your used to having long,slender objects in your mouth anyways!" This did not sound like the shy girl the others had met. This was a girl who smirked and acted confidently smart ass. The harpy took the bait and flew down, Katarina swung her sword but having little experience didn't see that the harpy meant to Dodge. Katharine grit her teeth and ducked just in time. She'd try again.

 

[Peaceswore]

Teresa let out a small groan when she landed on the ground, sadly she didn't have time to focus on her back since another harpy was coming after her. Just as the Harpy made a dive for her she rolled out of the way and stood up just in time. "Why are you attacking us? You are servants of my father! Why would you attack his children!?" She shouted at the harpy, however the creature paid no heed to her questions and made another dive. This time she didn't move in time and was lifted up again by her left shoulder. 'Luckily I'm right handed.' She thought before squeezed her brooch making it turn into a dagger.


Without any hesitation she stabbed the harpy in the wing making it let out an ear piercing screech and dropped Teresa. She was only a few feet in the air so she was able to land without breaking anything, however she felt pain in her ankle. 'Great.' She thought calmly as she squeezed her dagger three times turning it into her sword.


Even though the Harpy's wing was badly wounded, it didn't stop trying to attack her. It once again charged, Teresa sidestepped, unsheathe her sword and swung it for the back of the head, just barely missing her attended target. The Harpy screeched again and tackled Teresa, knocking the breath out of her and made her fall to the ground. Teresa had to let go of her weapon and place both of her hands on the Harpy's head so it wouldn't bite her.


Even though she was in this situation she clamed her heart rate and concentrated. In seconds orange flames burst from her hands lighting the harpy's head on fire. The Harpy recoiled and screeched in pain as it tried to put out the fire. Teresa took the opportunity to grab her sword and in one clean motion decapitated it.


Once she had finished off her foe she fell on her but exhausted. 'I haven't been here for more than ten minutes and I almost died..... Awesome!' She thought as she inspected her wounds. ((Is this post to long? I don't know the posting limit ^^ )

 

[Andrea Logan]

Lamia greeted her teeth when the harpy dodged her attack and went after Teresa. Lamia was about to help but notice both Teresa and Katarina had it under control. Lamia ran up to Teresa and kneeled beside her. She laughed and looked at Teresa's ankle. "Nice job Teresa! That harpy got a very bad sun burn on her face." Lamia smiled and touched the ankle and examined it. "I think it is just bruised a bit." Lamia got up and looked at Teresa. "Want me to go get some bandages?" Lamia looked through the window and at the boys. "Oh and thanks for your help guys!" Lamia turned back to Teresa.


// Oh and @Peaceswore that is perfect. Having a long post is really good so don't think you did something wrong when you didn't. //

 

[Peaceswore]

"Haha You saw that!? I was amazing!" She said happily before letting out a small hiss of pain as she clenched her left shoulder. She looked at it and saw it was bleed not too bad, but it was more than a scratch. "Crap, those nails are no joke." She muttered before grinning at Lamia. "Yeah bandages would be great right now.... and some soda." She joked before reaching over to her sword. She sheath it and pressed down on the top of the handle making it turn back into her brooch.

 

[Marvinok]

//Sorry guys, passed out after my last post.//


Damion stopped the truck and jumped out. He looked outside and began to concentrate on the growing shadows to burst into a sort of shadow-flame, a technique he never tried before in this circumstance. He got four fires out of it and directed them toward the last harpy as it burst into flame and turned to dust.

 

[Andrea Logan]

Lamia nodded at Teresa and walked to the truck. As she passed Damion she whispered in his ear. "Thank you." She smiled and turned back to the truck. She opened the door and looked through it for a first aid kit. She pulled it out and unlatched it. "Bandages... Bandages..... Bandages.... Oh here!" She pulled them out and relatched the first aid kit. She put the box back and went to grab her bag. She pulled out one of the cups she 'borrowed' from Camp HalfBlood. She walked back to Teresa and handed her the cup. "I think you know what to do." Lamia said as she bandaged Teresa's ankle then her shoulder.
