With everyone finally out of her house, Fia began to relax; she was still dressed in the beautiful emerald Selene had crafted for her and has genuinely considered still going to the event until she received the text from Selene stating she wasn't going. Fia owed Selene a game of Full Disclosure, without Selene there Fia felt that she wasn't fulfilling her debt to her. The others that had visited hadn't exactly provided much in an incentive for Fia to go along anyway. There was also the fact that Fia was uncomfortable with sharing secrets with many of the others, especially Blue and Aurea... Fia took a glance down at herself; was she jealous? No. Did she miss 'better' times? Yes.
With a sigh she carefully took off the dress and hung neatly in her wardrobe, putting on black jeans, a plain sky blue t-shirt and her purple hoody. Maybe Selene would appreciate a visit from Fia... no; Xavier would want to spend some time alone with her, looking after Selene - it wasn't right for Fia to intervene there. Or was it?
Grabbing her keys, the child of Lycaon stepped outside, closing and locking the door behind her, making sure that nobody was still lurking around her home. She then started to head to Selene's.

Rhea
Rhea was standing in front of both Yuki and Mason by now in front of Mason's place. She didn't want to ask this of them since they just got off a mission but it was necessary, she needed their assistance. It was quite important and dangerous but she was sure just the two of them would be enough. Besides, they really seemed to enjoy her company so it wouldn't be a boring trip after all, she would bring card games. "Well you two, I'm sorry to bother you at such a sensitive time. I have an important task I have to carry out, it's dangerous. It would put me at ease if I had you two as my escorts while I collect these materials I need. There's a few herbs in the forest I need beside Athens, if you two can just guard me while I search and collect them that will be all I'll need. I'm sorry to put this on you two but I would greatly appreciate it if you two could do this with me!" Rhea gives them a light bow, holding it since she was asking them for a favour. (

)Blue's dinner party experience
Blue was dressed in a black suit with a dark green tie to bring out his eyes. It was time to go to the dinner party Selene scheduled and he knew everyone would want to be graced by his presence. This was exactly why he couldn't show up late. He pushes open the large castle doors and walks down to the dining hall, taking a seat in a random chair. (

Umeko looked herself over in the mirror. To any other onlooker, the bright red dress would look very fetching on the petite girl's form. To Umeko, however, it was just a bit too... dressy for her tastes. It was too revealing in some places and inconvenient in others. Umeko especially didn't like the off the shoulder design or the slit for her leg down the side, but this was how Selene had made her dress, so this was what she wore. Thankfully, Umeko had snagged a pair of flats, having anticipated the problem of not having any shoes to go with the dress. Unfortunately, that meant she didn't have any jewelry to go with the dress either. A bracelet, earrings, something would look nicer than just plain red dress and silver shoes. Though Umeko had to admire how exact the dress seemed to match her strings, she couldn't deny that a touch of silver would do it some good. It didn't help that Umeko also didn't have any clue what to do with her hair. Should she put it in a bun? A ponytail?
Consulting the strings of fate, Umeko frowned deeply, seeing tonight obscured with sensory static as well. She'd need help, but Selene was out of commission, and Fia was likely to be no where to be found... Umeko figured she should go to Trish. After all, who better to help with beauty than the child of Aphrodite? Picking up the edge of her dress, she descended to the first floor of her house and stepped outside, making her way to Trish's house as fast as she could. "Trish?" she knocked on the front door, hoping Trish was actually inside and hadn't left for dinner already. "Trish, it's Umeko. Can you help me with my outfit for tonight?"
Arms folded, Yuki stood outside Mason's house with Rhea and Mason. He listened to Rhea's request, before nodding an uncrossing his arms, letting his hands rest on his hips rather. "Of course, Rhea," he responded with a smile and another quick nod. "I don't know how much help I'll be, but I'll do what I can." His body still ached, both from the mission and the rigorous training he had done prior to Rhea summoning him here. Still, he was willing to go on a small outing. Hopefully nothing bad would happen while they took their trip. After all, he hadn't planned on going to the dinner party tonight regardless.

Gaige had decided to work on the wepon after the party. She got ready not really knowing what to wear. She put on the only dress she had that wasn't destroyed and went to the dinner. She walked inside and sat down a few seats away from Blue. "Did you hear what happened yet or has gossip not started?" She said over to Blue. "I got to cut or rather chop off Jaydens arm. Twice!" She said with a high pitched squeak of excitement.

The time was drawing close for Selena's dinner party. Dante' grabbed his phone and left his place walking towards the dinning hall. With his hands in his pocket he felt his fork sized trident. 'This thing follows me everywhere.' He thought to himself. As he approached the Castle he pushes the doors open and makes his way down towards the dinning hall. He notices that only Blue and Gaige is there and he sighs. 'Great I'm alone with Miss.BlowThingsUp and Mr.Harem.' He looks towards them and hears how Gaige cut off Jayden's arm, not once but twice. He sat across from both Blue and Gaige. "First thing first, what's up? And second..." he looks over at Gaige "Did I just hear you say you cut off Jayden's arm...twice?? For whyyyy? What the hell happened?? First Finn gets his arm cut off by Jayden and now Jayden got his cut off. I call that Karma, maybe you'll get yours cut off next Gaige. " Dante' chuckled as he waited for Gaige's response.

Trish was thankful that Selene had given her the necessary supplies to upgrade Ruina's outfit and got to work soon after Selene had left. She took a pari of scissors and looked at the black dress and it's less than marvelous tears. "Hmmm," She smiled as inspiration struck her. "Now hold still," She warned Ruina as she cut through the material at strategic points. A few slits across the back, a couple below the neckline and a dash of frill slits at the bottom hem of the dress. "There. It's perfect!" Trish beamed with her hands on her hips. It looked much more pretty according to her, even though she still felt that black was slightly overrated.
"Ugh, if I had some spare material I would so make it a Distress masterpiece. But unfortunately, you're not allowed to look better than me," Trish grinned jokingly. "Alrighty then, I'll see you ladies at the party~" Trish said as she left Fia's house. She happened to pass her house on the way to the hall and was surprised to see Umeko waiting at the door.
"Trish, it's Umeko. Can you help me with my outfit for tonight?" She could hear her say. Trish smiled and made her way up to Umeko, "Do you need a little sparkle to your outfit? Well, you've come to the right place."
"Oh but we should probably hurry. I mean, fashionably late is totes my thing, but if we don't leave soon, we'll just be late."

"Well, what do you think? I like it" Rosemary asked as she emerged from the store in the green dress. Elias clapped softly and smiled. "You look beautiful," She said, "Um, if there's anything that I can do to help, do let me know." ((Insert interaction))
Half an hour later, she made her way to the dining hall and waited outside the entrance, She felt nervous about going in, since everyone looked so dazzling and she felt... out of place. She hesitated for a moment before quietly walking in and sitting at an empty chair.

FINNEGAN BROWN
Finnegan stirred a few mimutes later, feeling utterly drained and miserable. "That's it. I need to get something done." He mumbled as he struggled to get up. "Roast, get my coat," He ordered the puppy as he pulled a tee shirt on. Roast left, only to return moments later with a long hoodie-jacket in one of it's mouths. Finnegan sighed, "Not the hoodie, the long sleeved coa- you know what? Nevermind." He said as he threw it on. It felt odd with one of the sleeves unfilled, but that was exactly what Finnegan sought to fix.FINNEGAN BROWN
He walked out of his house and went to find Mason. As annoying as the son of Hephaestus was, Finnegan decided that he might be useful in helping create an arm for him. He saw Mason and Yuki near the former's cabin and called out to him, "Mason, do you have a mome-"
A moment later, his eyes grew wide in horror as he saw Rhea with them. ".... Nevermind, I'll come back later," He winced as he turned to leave."

Gauge laughed. "Well the first time he was all broken and laying in pain so I figured why not save him from the pain. That and I didn't want to risk any weird bone disease and it was mostly karma. But the seconomy time Selene used up all her energy to make him a new on end passed out to her boy friend took her. His dumb as decides that the box he has is more important and moved out of some spell thing that was healing him. He started to bleed out so I had to cuf it off and cauterize it. Hopefully he doesn't go into shock. I have the arm in a freezer ready to give back to Selene. I had a lot if fun. How was you day slash night?"

Kia
Deciding to start the 'interrogations' ahead of schedule, Kia had been working hard to make the oracle's life a living hell. Or heaven, if you looked at it from the oracle's perspective. "Why won't you talk?" She had been smothering the oracle this entire time, only allowing her to breath from time to time so that she wouldn't die from suffocation. The metal cocoon severely limited the torture methods she could employ, but that did not discourage her. Anyone watching this play out would likely argue that this was counterproductive, as it did not yield any information. "As long as you don't talk, this won't end." But she was just doing this for her own entertainment, under the pretense of 'interrogating' the oracle. She was so caught up in the act, that she barely noticed Kira when she came back in the form of a tiger, and simply continued to Ruina

After the whole fiasco with Jayden's arm thanks to Gaige and Selene, Avice found herself a bit dazed as she moved through her quarters. It must be the mission getting to people, because as much as she enjoyed the whole thing, she just wanted to get the dinner over with and get some rest, and as much as she wanted to blow it off, Selene had ways of finding shit out and she didn't really need anyone on her case. No matter how fun that would be, she was still sore, okay? She just hoped both Jayden and Selene were fine. And of course, Finnegan as well. They might not be close, but after a few years of nothing but their presence, people grow on you.
Halfway through sifting through her clothes, Avice realised that she didn't really have any dress that was 'formal' so she might as well pull that one pale-peach colored suit picking up dust in the back of her closet. Removing the sheet over it, the daughter of Strife couldn't help but scrunch her nose at all the dust. Damn, she really should clean her closet out. Shaking her head, she hung the suit over by her bathroom door and shot off into the bathroom for a quick shower. Getting all the grime and sand off her as fast and thoroughly as possible was her objective; she can soak when she gets back home. Seeing her new rank made her stop a bit in front of the mirror though, trying to inspect it properly. Pi. Not bad for a first mission.
Otherwise, it didn't take her too long to finish preparing and was soon out of her quarters, feeling rather chic what with the suit and the pair of white heels with lace details that she found in the back of her closet as well. She really needed to clean that out and see what she had hidden in there.
Locking the door behind her, she spied few people in the distance as she began to walk towards the hall. Was that Rhea with Mason and Yuki? And... was that Finnegan backing away from the trio? Oh gods, she definitely didn't want to see the outburst Rhea would inevitably have when she sees the Alpha's lack of arm so she turned on her heel and instead made her way to the hall using the street between Demon and Xavier's house.
Look, okay, I spent too much time looking up pictures of suits and heels to not use them so fucking sue me. Also edgy Avice who won't conform to the dress norms 2k17 . Okay but seriously, I find no reason for her to really have any formal dress whatsoever, so I had to compensate somehow.

Half an hour, after Elias had been sweet enough to bring her a dress, Rosemary had finished cooking everyone's dinners. She loaded all the food up onto some trays. Holding one in each hand, and having the rest floating behind her, she made her way into the dining hall. As she saw the few people in the dining hall, she smiled. Though she wondered if everyone else was running late, or something. Selene hadn't actually told her if some people weren't going, so she just assumed that everyone was coming and made everyone's favourite foods for them all. Rosemary frowned at the thought of some people not showing up, and the food she'd made for them just going to waste. She pushed the thought from her head, preferring to think that they were just running a bit late. Though she hoped that if they were, they wouldn't be too late as she didn't want their food to go cold.
"Hi everyone!" Rosemary smiled as she made her way to the table. She walked around the table and placed everyone's favourite food in front of them, before placing the trays with the rest of the food, in the center of the table, so when everyone else got here they could just grab their food; Rosemary still was hoping that everyone would be coming and wouldn't be too late. Rosemary took her own plate of food from one of the trays and sat down in an empty seat next to Elias; Rosemary's dinner was chicken and ham tortellini carbonara, with a cheese sauce. Rosemary wanted to wait until everyone else arrived, or others started eating before she did. She smiled at everyone who was currently there. "So how are you all? Are you guys excited for this full disclosure game Selene was talking about? Ooh, how did the first mission go?"

Jayden "Shachath" Fuertissimo
Jayden woke up to Gaige cutting his arm off again, he thought to himself,' god dammit not again.' The pain from the blow being all too familiar didn't hurt as bad as the first time but still did a great deal of damage to him. Then Gauge seared the wound shut, the pain was bad but the smell was worse than anyone the pain he endured. However, the thing that hurt Jayden most was having his case ripped from his very hands by Gauge, though in the instance that he saw Gauge walk away Jayden was filled with something that had been lost to him for so long. As if a sun was igniting within his soul, all he could feel was...rage.
Jayden was filled with so much rage the pain from his wounds didn't seem to exist in his mind, he began punching the ground next to him until his knuckles started to bleed slightly. He knew in how bad of shape he was in, if his father could see him now he'd be ashamed for how can the sun of Apollo live up to expectations with no way to use a bow. This gave Jayden flashbacks to his past and the torment his father put him through,"Come on Jayden I will not stand for my sun to be so useless, if you keep this up I'll have to break out the arrows again. And you don't want that, DO YOU JAYDEN!" These words rang through his head like nails on a chalkboard, he gripped his head attempting to drown out the ringing but no matter what he did it wouldn't go away.
After awhile the ringing finally stopped, his anger slowly settling enough to keep a clear head without completely going away. Jayden picked himself up and headed to the castle, he opened the doors of the castle and immediately caught the scent of food, smelling something familiar to him he followed the scent until he got to the dining hall where seemingly everyone was. Jayden then walked to the closest empty seat to Dante,"Hey everyone do you mind if I join you all?" Jayden asked hoping there would still be welcomed to eat with everyone.

Rhea nods her head towards Mason, she had to get a bag to carry around supplies as well anyways. "Yes, go get a change of clothes. I'll meet the both of you at the docks in 5 minutes." Rhea smiles at them and walks off to her castle. Rhea had failed to notice Finnegan walking away. She grabs a backpack and neatly stores, clothes, snacks, water, and books within it. She puts a map inside as a final addition and approaches the docks, waiting for Mason and Yuki to join her. (

The Oracle shook her head roughly and spit in Kia's face. "I wont tell you anything you piece of scum! Do your worst to me! I can handle anything you can throw, your torture methods are pathetic! Just wait until Python gets here, he will kill you all!" The Oracle fell silent as usual after this, continuing to hide more information from Kia. (

While everyone else was talking, Blue scooted closer to Ruina. He gave her a big grin and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Hey there! You look nice tonight, I like it." Blue scooted his plate next to hers as well, getting quite comfortable with how close he was to her. Blue never got nervous with Ruina and her destructive tendencies. It was just another appealing element to her in his eyes. "Yeah Jayden, take a seat, everyone is invited!" Blue begins eating his barbecue sandwich, looking back at Ruina after he swallowed. "How was your side of the mission?" (

Kira
Bringing up a paw to nudge Kia away from the oracle, the usually soft-spoken demigod took in the situation and shook her head. "Doing that won't get us anywhere, Kia." Until this point, she'd watched Kia's methods and the oracle's lack of significant response- but for spitting in her, er, friend's? face. Quiet and poised, she'd watched, but enough was enough. For her. But she was useless when it came to things like this anyway. She sighed. "...Want me to see if I can cut that off?" She meant the metal cocoon. No doubt it would be easier for Kia to go about her work without that hindrance. After a moment or so, the tigress let her paw drop, gaze flicking between the oracle and Kia.

Umeko tuned, hearing Trish's voice coming from somewhere other than her house. She blushed, having never before been wrong about a person's location. Well, if it was any consolidation to her, she still did manage to snatch Trish before she could head to the party, so it wasn't like she was entirely wrong. "Yes, something to sparkle and match my shoes would be appreciated," she said, moving the fabric of her dress to reveal the part, and expose her smoothly shaved legs and the silvery flats covering her feet. Umeko couldn't help but blush a little - she wasn't experienced enough to wear heels, and didn't have enough time to practice before the dinner tonight. It was also uncommon of her to ask for help, which she seemed to be doing a lot of lately.
Yuki faked being scared, playing along with Mason when he wiggled his fingers through the hole in his pants. Jumping back in fake fear, a wide grin split Yuki's face. "Oh no! It's gonna get meeee!" he cried, running around to the other side of Rhea. His smile fell a little bit when Rhea moved away to go grab a bag from the castle. Rocking backwards on his heels a bit, Yuki looked to Mason. "… See you at the harbor, then? I'm all good to go, and you want to change anyways…" He supposed he should probably start getting serious, regardless of how peaceful this mission was supposed to be.

Trish couldn't help but smile. Umeko wasn't the type to get all cutesy and girly, but Trish commended her effort. The dress was rather suiting on Umeko and Trish only wished Umeko would develop the confidence to carry herself in it. "Yes, something to sparkle and match my shoes would be appreciated," Umeko had said.
Trish bit her lip as she thought of the perfect way to take the outfit to the next level. "You know what you need? Glitter!" Trish giggled as she pulled Umeko into her house. "Oh, and don't mind the mess. Elias was supposed to clean up, but she never does," Trish shrugged, putting the blame on her sister. To her surprise, her room was actually in shape. ... Or not.
"Now I don't usually allow anyone in my room, so you may bask in it's awesomeness," She beamed as she went to her accessories' drawer. Trish had tonnes of stuff. It's sources varied from gifts, to findings, to hand made craftings. "I was joking about the glitter. You do need the shine though, to contrast with the bold colour. Okay, so red dress, sexy legs and silver flats." She smirked as she rummaged through her things. "I really wish you'd try heels more often Umeko, you'd be stunning in them! Besides, with legs like yours, you can pull it off." She smiled. It was uncommon for Trish to be subtle with tips; she enjoyed ruthlessly tearing people down. But of course, there were times (and certain people who had the potential) she made an exception for. She finally turned her attention to her guest after finding a silver bracelet and matching earrings. She held them up to Umeko as she did a quick assessment.
"These will do. I don't think you need an elaborate choker since we need to have everyone's attention on that stunning dress, but still. It'd look incomplete without something." She mumbled as she pulled out a silver choker to match the earrings. Trish threw back the bracelet and decided to use something else instead. She brought out a sequined sash and tied it around Umeko's hips, tying a bow at the back.
"Perfect," Trish smiled as she took a step back to marvel at her work. "And as for your hair..." She bit her lips again in thought, "I'll leave the choice to you. I personally think that a bun would be so fab. But then again, that's just me talking. OH! You know what we should do? Add glitter to your hair!" She gasped jokingly.

Ruina
Putting a finger on her chin, Ruina tried to recall the encounter with Python. Everything had happened so fast, for her, at least. While she was busy trying to kill the oracle and not helping the others fight, the rest of the squad was hard at work. Not fighting a giant dragon was extremely difficult, so it was safe to say that she did the most work. "It went great!" She said with a cheerful smile. That reminded her of Finnegan's lost arm. Fortunately his tiny little dagger only required one hand to wield. "Say, Blue. Do you know how Finny lost his arm?" She asked him, just loud enough for a certain someone to be able to hear what she said.Aurea
Aurea strode towards the castle dining hall, no longer requiring any assistance in moving about. Thirty minutes of rest had worked wonders. Although she was still somewhat fatigued, how could she miss out on something like this? She had absolutely no intention of being left out. Of course, she was worried about Finnegan's condition too. Can't forget about that. She opened the doors and smiled warmly at the others, her fatigue as well hidden as a set of keys when you can't remember where you put them. She was currently wearing a white sleeveless dress that left the shoulders and neck bare. And, unlike a certain someone's dress, her's wasn't pockmarked with holes and tears. She was dazzling, in the literal sense as her body gave off a faint glow.Kia
Turning around to face what had nudged her, Kia's cold glare now rested on the tiger that- who had interrupted her. She didn't bother to wipe the spit off. Nor was she angered by the oracle's actions. In fact, she very much enjoyed what the oracle had done. Although she preferred pain and physical blows, this would certainly suffice for the time being. Watching the prisoner struggle and fight despite what she was doing only made her more excited. It was always more fun when they resisted. Her face remained an expressionless mask, however. When Kira offered to 'cut it off' she first thought she meant the oracle's tongue, but after a moment's thought, she realised what she meant. "Yes. It'll make things easier." She said, kicking the metal cocoon lightly. "Now hurry up."

Elizabeth felt a bit of shame for having decimated so many trees for having just been in the wrong spot. She charged herself with the power of Rigil Kentaurus, one of the brightest stars in the Centaurus constellation. Endowed with its power she stopped one by one at each tree she destroyed. Plants didn't heal the same as mortals, but their regeneration was similar enough. She helped bless the trees, returning them all to how they were before she came.
"Ahhh, so it was you! Who else would try to disintegrate me? There was too much power behind that shot to be Blue. I see you have my blades. Thank you." Kristov always managed to but a chuckle on her face. "Well, your blades almost ended my life, Kristov." She said as she tossed him hes blades, her left hand resting where his blade punctured her. "Has I released Hercules after my accidental expusion, I would have died." He caught them midair, smirking. "I guess that's karma now isn't it, Lizzy? What happened anyways?" Elizabeth simplified the events, explaining how incompatible constellations resist and combat each other inside of her, the weakest being expunged. "So what you blasted at me... was a pure constellation, Aquila the deliverer of gods." "Pretty much." "Wow thats poetic.
"I was wondering if you'd like to train with me. We're both in this forest trying to get better, so let's get better together." Kristov nodded in agreement. He dragged a line in the dirt between them. "Alright, you stand on that end of the line and Ill stand at this end of the line. I want you to blast me with your power. I'll attempt to redirect and send it back. We'll volley the blast." Elizabeth watched him make the line and listened intently His plan did sound a good stretch, but there was hardly enough space between them for either of them to react really... Maybe that's what he wanted. She twisted her mouth to the side kind of unsure.. "Are you sure about this? Maybe we need more space... If I extend my arm out with my blade I'm barely away from touching you! This line is maybe 13ft tops!" Kristov laughed at Liz's worry. "That's the goal! As much danger as possible! And we will have to move faster. You may have me up on being able to blast me so up close, but when the volley starts, I'll outpace you in no time." "Oh really. Messenger?" "Really." "...You're on."
Elizabeth extended Eclipse at Kristov. She was nervous. She didn't bring it up, but she wasn't used to blasting the stellar energy out of her, but utilizing it how it fell best. Aquila's blast was just an accident. But if it could be done once, then it could be done. Eclipse's symbols illuminated boldly. She could feel Sirius, one of Canis Major's brightest stars, flowing through her, through her body and back through her hands. "Just trust yourself, and trust the process. You'll do great." Elizabeth nodded and closed her eyes taking a deep breath. Eclipse was fully charged and ready. The blade's edge was bright with power. She focused that power, directed it directly at Kristov. The symbols illuminated in a flash and in that instant, a powerful strip of energy was released. The blade's stellar edge was depleted, and Kristov was sent flailing backwards. "Oh! I'm so-" "NO! You.. you did great, do NOT apologize for success.... again." Kristov was slow to rise back to his feet, the attack took a lot out of him. His speed healing factor made up for it in no time, but still. Eclipse was charged and ready for another blast. Elizabeth focused and shot another strike. Kristov was blasted on his back again, and again, and again. He always landed in a different spot, for Elizabeth always changed the magnitude of power she was releasing. Less and he was knocked back. Too much and he would be pushed across the clearing, his clothing getting burned from the sheer heat of a stars power.
After about the fifty or more strike, progress was being made. Now, the tables were turned on Elizabeth. Kristov's speed and reflexes could now recognize the strikes and redirect them with his blades, but now Elizabeth wasn't fast enough to react and return the power. She was blasted back by her own power, flying high in the air. She slammed back down on the mush and knocked the air out of her. "I toooold you so, Now you can't keep up with your own power?" Once the spinning subsided, she got herself back to her feet. "Yeah yeah..." Kristov's eye can see light moving now... his hands can keep up with the light.... he is quite impressive... "Come on Liz get up! You've got me excited now!! Let's see how many times we can volley it back! Come on come on come ooon!!!"
Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh and just fall back on her butt. How could he be so excited from one success? He sure kept her from getting to serious and stiff, that was for certain. She was happy she found him to train with. "Alright alright! I'm getting ready.
Liz stood at the end of her line, blades charged and ready. She blasted Kristov with energy from Eclipse, and almost as soon as she sent it the power was already returning. Her reflexes naturally kicked in and she jumped to the side against herself to dodge being hit, but she only side stepped directly into Kristov's kick that sent her flying backwards anyways. Once she stopped tumbling her hair was a raggedy mess and she was livid. "WHAT THE HELL, KRISTOV?" "WHO SAID YOU COULD DODGE, ELIZABETH?" He had a point... She angrily stood back up, and without waiting she blasted power at Kristov. He only laughed and redirected it back. She could see it, like the beam was creeping towards her. She pointed Empyrean at it and the power was absorbed through its tip, but she didn't stop at recollection, her fury made her body move. She blasted Eclipse's power back at Kristov. He leaned out of its way and let the beam crash into a stray tree. "Our first consecutive volley, congratulations. ... Eliz, was that return more powerful that the first?" Liz wasn't sure actually. "I'm.. not sure. I would think so since I absorbed the power through Empyrean and passed it back to Eclipse. It probably collected more power during the journey." "Good... let's keep that up. I'm ready when you are."
Elizabeth nodded again. A blast from Eclipse, a return by Kristov, a blast again, another return, another blast. The volley chain continued until the eighth round, when Elizabeth's arms weren't capable of moving fast enough. She could see the incoming threat, but her body physically couldn't move as fast as Kristov. They tried again, seven. And again, seven. The two were starting to get exhausted doing this with no breaks, and the effects were ever-present on Elizabeth. She was hunched over and panting from all the tumbles and falls.
"Alright lets take a break, I'm pooooped." Kristov fell on his back next to Elizabeth. "Yeah me too... whewww you really are the fastest being alive." "You flatter me, but you just aren't coating yourself in light to make your movements faster." "I'm not what?" "Coating yourself in light in order to make your movements quicker and more precise. Have you seen Blue's powers and abilities? Similar to that. I know, you don't control light like blue, you are the production of light for Blue. But the concept remains; coat yourself in stellar energy in order to quicken your pace. You say you can 'wear' constellations, right? It's the same concept, but instead of a full constellation you are using just one stars condensed energy." Elizabeth looked up from his face to the night sky. He made her power seem so simple to use. In a way though, it was. It all flowed the same way. Maybe she could do that. She raised her hand up to the stars pointed one out, Alkaid the end star of the Big Dipper. She stilled her mind to draw power to herself, the same way she absorbed it through her blades. Light was collecting on her hand, causing it to glow. "Now punch with your full might into the ground." Liz did just that and was marveled by the damaged she caused. The ground left a decent size whole in her wake, and the flash of her body's movements only added to the momentum. Her hand had become a shooting star for a short time. She looked at Kristov hungry for approval and praise. "Like that! See, you've got the hang of this. Ready to get back to work?" Elizabeth was quick to her feet. The stellar energy flowing through her regenerated her stamina quickly, probably not as fast as Hermes, but relatively quickly.
The two stood their respective spots. But this time, Elizabeth left her blades sheathed. She would use herself as the conduit of catching and returning. Energy didn't charge within her as quickly as with the blades because she had handicapped herself relying on them for too long. This was training, she needed to become better anyways. Once her arms were fully illuminated by the collected power she blasted a beam from her palm, quickly she had to catch its return with her other hand and redirected the power back. The two volleyed, but with Kristov having opened her eyes to what she could do, the volley progressed beyond their cap of eight, to nine and ten and fifteen. The two were moving so quickly, circulating so much power between such a small space that the clearing was fully illuminated. The whole forest itself was starting to glow with their power. Kristov's madman laughs also helped lighten the scene too. On return twenty two Kristov thew his blades and the light up into the air. Once the power ran out, gravity would return them. He just took a safe two or three steps back just in case. "That... was awesome!" Kristov started to wobble and shake, He looked as though he was about to pass out. Quickly Liz dashed with her energy to Kristov and caught him before he fell back. He was already lightly snoring. She chuckled and laid him down on the ground. She waved her hand over Kristov and a blanket of warmth was atop him. "Sleep well, Kristov. You've earned it." She looked back up to the stars and smiled widely. She was almost among them.

Demon was relaxing in the water. He had grown fatigue and this had soothed it. He waded through the water going the the other side. The water was cooler then before due to the night. after wading for what seemed to be ages. he felt a current that guided him wherever it went he figured why not go with it maybe find a cool new spot. After thirty minutes he had grown tired of the water. he was on the other side of the island where he wouldn't be bothered. He grabbed a pine cone from a tree and planted in into the ground. He sat down next to the spot and focused on that pine cone. He accelerated it's on time to make it grow faster. Eventually a sprout grew out of the soil. It was progress but he wasn't satisfied. He could feel the stress settling in but pushed through it the sprout grew bigger and thicker until it was a small tree. At this point he started to sweat. He focused more until the tree became just like the rest. He jumped up and stretched. He hadn't over extended himself like he did with the rock and the tree looked roughly fifty or sixty years. He looked at the other tree. He sat down by the tree and made it go back. This seemed kind of refreshing to him as if energy was returning and the stress. The tree shrunk down to nothing but a pine cone. He picked it up and move it. He planted the pine ready to restart the process and continue one tree at a time. Slowly shifting the islands trees.

The tigress nods and steps toward the oracle, one of her paws starting to quiver tightly. It takes a good deal of concentration but she is able to shift that small part of herself- precisely three claws- into long, menacing talons. In a swift sweeping motion, she brings her paw down across the cocoon. Her talons catch on the metal, piercing it, then she pulls toward herself, shearing the metal into ribbons with the ease of tearing aluminum. She considered taking care to remove the razor-like strips fully from the oracle, then after a glance to Kia, holds back. The other demigod girl wouldn't like that. Instead, she cuts just enough for the oracle to get out with some trouble, then stalks back to stand by the doorway to make sure the oracle won't escape. Her paw- now more closely resembling that of a dragon than a tiger, remains brandished threateningly. "She's all yours," Kira mutters as she passes Kia by.

"Ah! Before we start, I have something I need to tell you guys," Elias said meekly, mustering up courage. Okay. It's nothing, you're just giving a status update... To more than one person. "Umm..." Elias wondered where to start.
"So I found this one book in the library that explained how to achieve this... form." Elias started, "It's called the um, Divinity form. A-and..." She continued, explaining the contents of the book as easily as she could. She rushed through the words, pausing every now and then to recollect facts*.
A divine form consists of physical, divine, and sometimes mental change in a demi-being once their bodies are filled with more than half of their current divinity. Each demi-being can only generate half of their divine parents divinity since the other half may be mortal or made up of a different being. Though if they were to receive divine aura from their respective parent they would be able to achieve full divine power. This includes: Semi-Immortality, Power on the scale of their parent, agelessness, a new physical appearance, high durability, and a potential new personality. The scaling of power varies from child to child. The divine form of a primordial child would be far stronger than that of a monsters. This is not the deciding factor on who would be the best out of the two since it's just an account of raw power, not their skill, experience, and kit.
Usually the divine form of a being can only last for up to 10 minutes but this can increase with practice and near death strain. Overdoing it and pushing past the limit can kill a child altogether if they are not careful or ready.

"- But the only way to achieve it is by ki-" Elias paused, wondering if this was indeed a good idea. Killing a God was hard. But killing your own parent? The very idea scared her.
She bit her lips and clenched her fist, trying to decide whether to tell them or not.

Umeko let out a small gasp as she was quickly pulled inside Trish's house, doing her best to pick up the hem of her dress so as not to mess up the fabric and trip over it. The mess inside the house wasn't terribly bad, considering other peoples' houses, but it wasn't nearly as clean as Umeko liked to keep her house. She could say with confidence that Yuki had much worse living conditions than Trish and Elias' house.
Umeko couldn't keep the blush and slight smile off her face when Trish complemented her legs. "I would practice more, if I had heels of my own to wear," she stated quietly. Besides, heels didn't have practical use in combat aside from taking them off and throwing them at people. She watched as accessories were tossed about, and smiled slightly when Trish tied the sash around her, though she was slightly uncertain about the choker.
Still, she put it on, along with the earrings.
She couldn't stop the laugh bubbling in her throat when Trish mentioned glitter in her hair, but got to work fixing up her hair into a bun. It turned out sloppy and messy, and when Umeko stepped over to look in a mirror,
she sighed to herself. "Do you think you could help me with my hair, too?" the girl sounded defeated, an unusual sound for her. "I think a bun with a braid around it?"
Not waiting for a responce, Yuki turned and began moving towards the docs. "Well, I'll see you at the docks, Mason." He wasn't worried about not carrying on a conversation -
they'd have plenty of time to talk and goof off during and after the mission. Seeing Rhea at the docks, he waved his hand in greeting. "You moved quickly!" he observed. "Got everything?"

Trish stifled a giggle as Umeko tried to put on a bun. She had the basic steps right, but considering the length of her hair, she messed up. "Do you think you could help me with my hair, too? I think a bun with a braid around it?" Umeko requested. Trish smiled and sat Umeko at the edge of her bed and got her comb. "All it takes is a bun and a bobby pin." She said, combing through Umeko's long hair. Trish bit back some tips about conditioning it. It wouldn't be necessary for her to go on right now. She decided to be nice. Besides, it was quite smooth and Trish noticed that there weren't as many split ends.
"So, how was the mission today?" Trish asked. She tied up Umeko's hair in a pony tail and used a hair donut* to make a neat, stylish bun. Using a small portion of hair that she set aside, Trish braided it around the bun and pinned it behind. "And you're do- Oh wait!" She ran back to her vanity and picked up a red flower pin. Trish pinned it to the side of the hairdo and grinned, "Now, you're done."
*Yes, this is a thing.
