Camp Half~Blood discussion

There is a table for each cabin. The plates during the last meal appear with whatever the individual desires. The cups do the same during both Lunch and Dinner. During breakfast the campers are offered a variety of juices and milks.

"If you're the blind one of the two of us, why are you the one guiding me?" Tanith contemplated aloud as she made her way down the stairs and out of the Hades cabin. She hadn't been here all that long, but already she'd adapted to shifting weight and odd looks. It didn't even effect her anymore, honestly. Despite the fact they were at least double due to the fact she was walking closely with Alec. She led the way to the Hades table, sitting on one of the far ends of it, away from the other Hades kids.

Alec sat directly beside of Tanith and kissed her cheek as he did so. He felt the room around them and didn't sense Prometheus anywhere. In fact fewer people were at the tables. Msot must have been still cleaning for inspections. "That's odd fewer people are here than usual. "What are you having?" He asked with a smile as he stood to get them plates.

"I have always had a weakness for waffles." Tahiti said fondly, smiling a fraction. "Thank you!" She said sincerely, her smile widening naturally as she looked over at him. Then she looked down and tapped her belt twice, so it elongated back into a snake and slithered into her hand. "I'll have Eve listen around for anything. And I promise, I'll keep her away from you." She smiled, moving her hand down towards the ground. The snake slid off and away, weaving around under table, dodging feet with ease.

((Tahiti?))

Alec nodded and stood walking to the food table and came back with two plates. Here waffles with a side of strawberries, blueberries and melon. "I didn't know if you liked fruit or not so I got it anyway." He then handed syrup and butter to her. On his plate a few grapes, some melon, strawberries, and three pieces of bacon with syrup on them. "We can eat and then we can head back tot he cabin so I can do inspections." Alec turned hsi head toward the end with the other Hades kids. "Listen up...I want our cabin spotless you have thirty minutes to finish eating and start cleaning then you have another thirty minutes to get the place clean. After that we do as we please today is Saturday." He said almost fatherly or big brotherly.

((Typo+Autocorrect xD))

Tanith smiled brightly, accepting her waffles. "...And thank you again." She kissed his cheek before turning to her waffles. After dumping syrup all over them, she attacked it with childish gusto, occasionally stabbing a piece of fruit to pair with a bite of waffle. Obviously, Tanith had no worries about 'health' or 'calorie counting.' After practically inhaling the waffle she turned on the fruit, which didn't last long either. "So after inspection what's the plan? Kick me back out?" she said cheerfully.

((lol figured..I gtg be gone all weekend))

Alec rolled his eyes, "Oh no...I think I can spend the day with you. I was thinking abotu heading over to Perseus cove if you would like to come." He offered with a charming smile. "I mean we can have lunch there and swim and do to her things in a bit of privacy." He said whispering into her ear so eavesdroppers couldn't catch on to it.

Tanith smiled happily, lightly kissing his cheek. "Sounds perfectly fantastic to me. Although, that means we're having breakfast for lunch, if we're going soon to have food there. Not that that's a problem at all, just a fact." She said cheerfully, looking down as Eve slithered back up. "I'll get some food for later, you and Eve can discuss your conspiracy theories together." She laughed slightly as the snake curled up neatly on the table beside her. Tanith hissed to the snake, and it nodded. "Eve's really, really old. And much more powerful than the average snake. You'll be able to understand her." She giggled slightly before hopping up and heading over to the food again, leaving Eve to study Alec with her unblinking yellow gaze.

Alec may have been judged for being blind but he was never pitied, he ensured that. Now, he was with a girl who few enjoyed the company of and others considered killing to see if she would turn into gold dust after becoming beheaded. Alec could only think of kissing her and being the man she wanted for a very long time. He could imagine himself with her facing the world. "You can finish your breakfast and I'll do cabin inspections and then you can call it a date with me." He smiled so handsomely.

"I'll bring some food for our picnic date." Tanith grinned, kissing his cheek before she got up and headed for the food. She spoke to one of the camp directors, and despite disliking her for her parentage, he was required to help. In a minute or two she had a fabric sack. Perusing the buffet, she gathered a nice variety of foods that she carefully set in the bag.

Alec raised an eyebrow feeling her movements as she moved around grabbing some food. "I could have done that myself." He said plainly as he stood. By the time she finished and returned back to them Alec was the only one left at the table. He smiled up at her and kissed her cheek as he stood. "Right then, let's go." He told her as he locked his fingers with hers and began walking off.

"Well, it's too late." Tanith said cheerfully, happily letting their fingers intertwine. "I feel I should warn you though... I'm not a swimmer." She warned. "I can't exactly wear a bathing suit around people when it shows off my scales. Even a one piece doesn't go far enough up." She shrugged. "So I, A) sink like a rock and B) don't have a swimsuit." She explained, looking over at him as the two walked close together.

Alec nodded, "You can have one of my sleeveless shirts and a pair of my track shorts." He offered with a smile. He walke dwit her down to hsi cabin so she could change and so could he and they could do inspections. It wasn't jst his cabin he had to inspect. He had to inspect his full letter. Which meant all the cabins in hsi section had to undergo inspection, but he was mroe loose than the other counsellors for other cabins.

((Switch threads?))

((yes post in hades cabin again))

[End Scene]
{Alec and Tanith went to Hades cabin ring for inspections and then to the Perseus Cove.}

Cameron walked into the dining pavilion with Zayn by her side. "Wow, I didn't realize how hungry I was until now." She said as she was hit with the aroma of different foods. She smiled up at him.

Zayn wanted to sit with Cameron, but that simply was not done. He moved to the Zeus table and allowed Cameron to go to her table. All the other kids were packed in already having food pop up on their plates. Zayn sat, but felt no hunger. He was glad to be alone to be left with his thoughts.

Cameron went to her table and sat next to her brother. He was talking with some of their other cabin mates when she sat down. "Hey Camden, whoa.. what happened to your eye?" She asked. He had a bruise over his left eye that hadn't been there before. Camden shrugged but didn't respond, turning away from her. "Camden, let me see it please." Cameron turned him back to face her. "I'm going to get you ice." She got up from the table and went to grab some ice for him.

Zayn watched Cameron and noticed the shiner on Camden. He frowned as she walked near him he grabbed her arm softly, "Is your brother okay?" He asked a bit concerned for him.

Cameron shook her head. "No idea. he won't talk to me." She said sounding concerned and stressed. "Probably thinks I'm going to go off on whichever Ares kids did it to him, which I will." She bit he lip lightly. "He should be fine. I'm getting him some ice right now."

Zayn nodded and let her go, "If you have a conflict let me know." He said with a half-hearted smile. "I can handle conflicts easily." He promised before kissing her hand and letting her go get the ice.

Cameron smiled at him. "Thanks." She said. "I'll make sure to let you know if anything happens." She kissed him on the cheek before walking off to get ice for her brother's eye.

Zayn nodded and went back to his meal. Fajitas were brought to him, but he didn't touch any of them hardly. He just scratched at his plate with his fork and his cup seemed to remain empty. He watched the Apollo table and shook his head. What was he thinking spelling her like that? Zayn hated himself for it, but he knew she would be safe when war came.

Cameron grabbed ice for her brother then walked back to her table, smiling at Zayn as she walked by. "Here." She said, handing Camden the ice as she sat down. "Now will you tell me who gave you a black eye?"
He put the ice against his bruised eye and glanced at her. "Thanks..." He mumbled. Camden picked at his food, not answering her at first. "An Ares kid..." He said, quietly.

Zayn wanted to overhear what Cameron was saying, but Prometheus was at the head table chatting away. He was speaking with a nymph of a willow tree and found that their conversation was of things stirring in the woods. Prometheus furrowed his brows in concern and began to rub his chin. Zayn became very interested to see what sort of assault was going to take place tonight. What did the god's have planned for Camp Half-blood, what have they not informed Zayn of?

"Which Ares kid?" Cameron asked. She was ready to punch out whoever had hurt her brother.
Camden looked at her. "Don't confront him please.. just leave it alone." He said.

It happened all so quickly no one really knew how to react. It was dark and the camp borders have never been broken before and yet here it was happening. A screech in the skies summoned the assault. Zayn knew this was not the true attack on Camp Half-blood. this must have been a test. They were testing their weaknesses. and Zayn knew he was being tested too. He would have to fight the monsters who were coming, but that did not mean he had to kill any and help the camp. "Cameron! Heads!" Zayn ducked himself as six Gryphons flew under the pavilion sweeping low. One grabbed a large piece of brisket from an Aphrodite girl's plate. She shrieked as loud as them before running off, but she was met by a large cyclopes. The girl was luckily met by four Ares kids who decided to challenge the cyclopes to a fist fight.
Zayn already having his blade on him he drew it out. It was the blade blessed to him by Erebus. As soon as he drew his blade the gryphon's scattered almost as if frightened. Zayn smirked as he leaped over to the Apollo table where he found Cameron and Camden. "Are you two okay?" He asked as a Chimera rushed through sliding across the head table where Prometheus summoned his sword and cut through the Chimera. "I am Prometheus! You will not defy me monsters!" Prometheus came around the table and cut through a Gryphon.

Cameron and Camden both ducked as a Gryphon flew over them. They watched it land on the Athena table and watched the Athena kids pull out weapons to fight it. Neither one of them had weapons on them, so when a monster landed on the table in front of them all they could do was back away.

Prometheus came charging up and slashed through the beast will his sword. He looked at Cameron and Camden as gold dust covered over them and the rest of the unarmed Apollo kids. "Seek cover children! I want all armed demigods to form ranks!" Prometheus gathered only a handful of the demigods as they fought their way through monsters. Eventually, a group of basilisks came slithering from the far side of the pavilion. The ground was burning up from their poisonous skin. They were hacking fireballs all over the pavilion. Nymphs and Satyrs started shooting bows and throwing rocks at the basilisks.

Zayn moved over the Cameron and Camden, "You two need to get out of here. This place is going to get messy." He warned them as a horned centaur galloped through with a spiked club. "Go!" Zayn shouted before leaping over the table and landing on the centaur's back. He reared up and roared out. Zayn was standing on his back a blade in one hand and the other hand grabbed hold of the centaurs horn on his head. Zayn shoved the blade deep into the beasts back watching him melt into golden dust.
While the Ares kids were pounding against the cyclops a few other demigods charged with spears at another one much larger than the one the Ares kids were fighting.

Alec and Tanith arrived in the heat of the mix. Gryphons were flying everywhere some scooping demigods trying to flee for weapons or shelter off their feet. Alec had his sword ready as he felt the vibrations around him. Then he began to sense the two cyclopes. Alec felt to make sure his daggers had regenerated. "Tanith, be careful." Alec took some nectar from her and finished the bottle off. His face turned red hot as he charged blindly into battle. Alec felt the heat in his body rise drastically, but he pushed it with adrenaline. He swiped his sword down on a basilisk's head. He then turned side swiping one with his sword like a golf stick. It flew directly into the bigger cyclop's eye.
The beast screamed loudly and swept his hand through the pavilion. Prometheus screamed, "Everyone down!" The pillars shattered like glass and the ceiling began to tumble down.
The cyclop's hand hit Prometheus slamming him in the center of the rubble fall as it fell onto him. The giant cyclopes bellowed as he ripped the basilisk in half.

Zayn slammed down over Camden and Cameron forcing them under the table but he did not make it so lucky. Zayn fell to the other side and the ceiling cracked over him collapsing onto the stone table. Alec shoved Tanith out of the way in a leap just in time before he found stones falling toward him. He shifted his hands up just in time as an earth cocoon went around his body.

Without her sunglasses, Tanith was already uncomfortable. And now there were other people to add to her worry, and all these monsters. So it was safe to say her emotions were running high. When the cyclops freaked out, Tanith didn't run like the others. "Alec?" She called out frantically, spinning to try and find him. Now she was pissed too. She knew what was going to happen as she started towards the cyclops, and it wasn't because she could control anything now. It was simply that she knew she was worked up enough to use it. Gritting her teeth, she dodged to the side as a Gryphin came at her, swinging her sword up just in time to slice off its wing. It wasn't her main concern, however, and she kept going for the cyclops. "Hey!" She yelled out, easily and instantly getting its attention. It bellowed and swung it's fist at her, and she jumped straight up, landing on its fist and stabbing her sword through it to pin its hand to the ground. Before it could pull away she simply touched its hand with her own and moved out of the way. The area her hand had touched became gray and still, spreading outwards until the entire Cyclopes was turned to stone. When the dewinged Gryphon came at her she simply dodged and touched its wing. Once again another creature transformed into stone. By now the creatures were more cautious of her, but the flying creatures still came at her as she headed for the next cyclops. One by one they struck at her, and one by one they ripped into her shoulders or arm but paid the price, dropping to stone and shattering when they hit the floor. The second cyclops was just as easy and she simply ran up and touched its leg, the whole creature turning to stone.

Camden wrapped his arms around Cameron, shielding her small body with his. They waited until they were sure it was safe before coming out from under the table. "Zayn!" Cameron called, looking around for him. "Zayn, where are you?"

Finally, the monsters retreated. They had caused the damage they were sent to do. They had even snatched up a few demigods. As the dust cleared the rubble where Prometheus had been buried began to glow through the cracks as a man erupted from the stones which all disintegrated. Prometheus stood with a white Greek robe around his waist. His sword in hand he seemed to appear tired. He was glowing now brightly like a flame. "Demigods, group up! Tend to the wounded move this rubble. We need to rescue any buried bodies!" The demigods were all beaten and shaken. They witnessed a massacre. People had been taken and some had been killed in this battle. Statues of monsters seemed to make the pavilion look like eerie ruins of an ancient temple.

Alec's rubble pile shifted slowly as stones began to roll off of the pile slowly more and more simply rolled outward until the earth cocoon was all that remained. Alec erupted taking in a deep breath of air. He leaped up sword ready and he began to look for Tanith. Alec fished into his pocket finding a pair of sunglasses he had forgotten about. Luckily, they were not broken. He raised over to the vibrations of Tanith's body glad to know she was alive. He moved toward her, "Tanith!" He screamed outstretching his sunglasses to her. "Here, before you hurt someone." He offered knowing well that she had to be the cause of the new yard ornaments he was sensing.

Zayn was under a large pile of rocks. Over half of the ceiling had caved on top of him. The pile was huge and right next to the table that Camden and Cameron had been under. Prometheus walked over and frowned. He held his glowing hand in front of him and felt the pile of stones for life. Prometheus downed his head. "I'm sorry....Zayn...He is no longer with the living."

((It's KT's turn right?))

((Yep!!!))

((??))

Still looking down, Tanith reached out to snatch the sunglasses from him, instantly jerking her hand back. "Thanks." She nodded, instantly sliding then on. She stayed toward the edge, biting her lip. "I'm still a little on edge, so don't touch me unless you'd like to return to your temporarily statueified self." She warned. "Are you alright?" Even in the harsh demand it was obvious she was worried, instinctively reaching out to touch him but jerking her hand back. "Is everyone else? Gods, I hope none of the flying ones landed on someone."

Camden looked around the dinning pavilion when they came out. "Woah... this place is a mess." He said to Cameron. "Glad that didn't land on the table." He motioned to the large rock pile next to them.
When Prometheus came over and told them what happened, Cameron felt tears come to her eyes almost immediately. "No....he--he can't be...gone." She said. Camden wrapped his arms around her and she cried into his chest.

Prometheus frowned, "I'm so sorry, Cameron. He was a good soldier and a true leader to this camp. I wish there was a way I could help." Prometheus knew very well that if he truly helped the way he could the god's would punish him again. He could easily recraft Zayn and make him a new body and simply use the fire of the soul to give him his spirit back, but if he were to do so Zeus would punish him for creating such a primitive form of mortal. Back then the mortals were free spirits from the god's and could not be affected by their powers nearly as much as they were today.

Alec sensed death, "I am unsure about the flying statues, but I know someone has died and a lot of demigods were carried off. I..." Alec felt the spirits around who would soon descend to the ferry of Charon. "It's Zayn..." He said quietly..."He is dead." Alec wanted to hold Tanith's hand so badly, but he felt a different sort of vibration come from her. He felt the shaking fear inside of her of what might happen if they touched, "Hey, it will be okay, I'm alive and so are you and that's all that matters." He promised. He still felt bad for those who were taken and those who were hurt, but at this point it was only him and her.

Tanith frowned, looking over at Cameron. Of course she didn't want someone to die, but Zayn had been a dick. She more felt bad for Cameron than she felt sad he had died, honestly. But she did still feel bad about it. She looked over at Alec, running her fingers through her tangled red hair. "I'd kiss you but you know." She shrugged and wiggled her fingers pointedly, shoving them as deeply into her pockets as she could. "Are you sure you're alright? That giant got your leg pretty good." She worried.

Cameron pulled away from Camden and wiped tears out of her eyes. She looked at Prometheus. "What are we going to do?" She asked. "About everything that happened?"
Camden bit his lip lightly, looking around the dining pavilion. "How did this even happen? How'd they get into camp?" He asked, quietly.

Alec felt down his leg feeling a large gash then the other leg which was oozing Sphinx venom. "I'll be fine...I just need some rest." He promised. As he had no time to worry about his own wounds. Alec motioned for Tanith to follow. "Prometheus, I will need your help, but I can bring Zayn back." He hated the guy even loathed him. He could see, he was always the leader, he was perfect and Alec wanted to be him and strived to be him. Alec frowned, "He is rude, but maybe he has heart enough to be grateful. I can't do it without the aid of a god. If I do it alone I may get struck by his father. I am no healer...I only hold sway over the dead, but you can heal him with your power over mortals."

Prometheus frowned, "Alec, by you doing this you may gain favor or curse from Zeus. He may be forgiving, but as your father is Lord Hades then you may wish to be careful. I do not wish pain to you." Alec simply shrugged, "I'll just need some nectar and ambrosia when I'm finished here."

((??))

((KT??))

((Sorry, just started senior year of high school and I'm slammed with homework))

((It's all good just reply when you can.))

Tanith hovered along behind Alec, shaking her head. "You really aren't alright." She insisted, stepping in front of him to force him to stop moving forward. "Prometheus!" She called him over worriedly. "Alec has been injured."

((Lena you are up.))

((sorry school just started a few days ago so I've been busy))

Cameron looked over at Alec. "You really be willing to do that?" She asked. She wiped tears from her cheeks and walked over to him. "before you do anything, let me heal your cut. I have minor healing abilities."
Camden had sat down on one of the rocks that was now in the dinning pavillion. He was looking around at the damage that had been done. "How'd they even get inside camp?" He asked outloud.

Alec frowned at Cameron, "Alright, heal my leg, but I swear it's just a little Sphinx venom, nothing horrible." He was obviously lying and turned his head to Tanith with a grin. "Everything is going to be fine, Tanith, I promise." He winked slightly with a frown slowly replacing his charming grin. He stood in front of Cameron waiting for her to do her healing magic. "I'm going to revive Zayn while you heal me. It will help speed the process along."

Prometheus frowned, "Tanith dear, step back. I don't want him drawing up the wrong life energy. I'm sure you know as well as I do that you hold energy that could rise up more than Zayn." Prometheus sat down a goblet in front of Alec and used his sword to cut into his wrist spilling golden ichor into the goblet. Alec used his own sword and cut into his hand spilling his demigod blood into the goblet as well. "Alec, I can only help you so much. Neither of us can risk the punishment that will await."

Alec smiled back at Prometheus half-heartdly, "Relax, every Hades kid gets at least one freebie." Prometheus nodded, "Yes, and you have already surpassed that one multiple times." Alec downed his head placing his sword on a bench beside him. "Zayn...I call you from the darkness. Follow my voice. I will set you free. Remember your name before it is lost to Lethe. Zayn there will be no suffering. Do not retreat into the fog follow my voice. Turn from the walls of Erebus." He muttered under his breath until finally what only he was able to see as if he were actually able to see a faint spirit appeared. The spirit drank from the goblet and turned bright yellow. It took form and shape. Alec now saw what Zayn actually looked like if his own eyes worked properly. "I'm going to push you back into your body, Zayn. I'm bringing you back to life."

The spirit said nothing but nodded with a mischevous grin. What threw Alec off about the ghast was the fact that Zayn had a dark shadow in the center of his ghostly form. He didn't ask questions and simply pushed outward. Prometheus removed all of the rubble where a bruised and broken body of Zayn rested with his sword still in hand. Prometheus touched the body healling it fully as the ghost stumbled back and fell into it. Alec shook his head. "Open your eyes....Take a breath and know life again."

Zayn's eyes opened widely and he took in a deep breath sitting stright up. He was ice cold, but his body was no longer injured. Prometheus used the same magic he used to create mankind. Alec frowned, "Prometheus, you will need to craft a new body so that Zayn's spirit can transfer. He will not be able to speak in a deceased body. Make one like you did with the original mortals. You won't have to breathe life into it...I got that covered."

Promsetheus nodded and reached down to the floor of the pavilion and began to pull it up with his bare hands like it was simple mud. Prometheus crafted the spitting image of Zayn in seconds. Alec walked over and placed his hand on the dead awake Zayn and kissed the molding which Prometheus created. In a second the clay mortal seemed to gain color and hair and at last it was fully human. A bright light moved from Zayn's old dead body through Alec and into Zayn's new body.

Alec stepped away as the old body fell limp again and turned into ashes. Alec looked at Zayn studying him closely. He felt something off as the spirit passed through him. "Zayn? Are you alright?" Zayn blinked for a moment his eyes glowing gold for a fraction of a second before turning into their stormy blue. "I'm great...How? Where did I? Thanks..." He was off himself. "I know I'm an ass, but I know that I'm glad you were around to save me. I'm sorry, Alec...I misjudged you." Zayn stuck out his hand for Alec to shake.

Alec grabbed hold of Zayn's hand and smiled, "No problem..." OF course the joy didn't last long for Alec as he became entirely drained nearly depleating his own lifeforce by bring Zayn back from the dead. Alec collapsed no one having time to catch him as he fell and his his head on the bench. Now blood poured from a cut on the side of his head and he was unconscious. Prometehus frowned, "Cameorn, heal him as best you can I'll fetch ambrosia and nectar. Tanith try and get him to come back to consciousness."
