The Lost Hero discussion

Hey, wanna hang at the Lake? wanna swim, feel the water? Here is the place! Camp Half-Blood's Awesome Lake!

Eryssa, a Hunter of Artemis, walks out onto the beach, scanning the lake. She sees a few boats and pulls out her binocular. Not that one. There! About 20 feet from shore, a small rowboat with a boy and girl, sit. Eryssa notices that they are getting really close, and with a hunters instinct, she thinks it crazy.
' My own brother. I'll show you Eric. '
As the couple lean in closer, Eryssa pulls an arrow from the fully loaded quiver she always wore slung around her torso. She nocks it and aims for the side of the boat near the rim. In a second it is flying through the air, and smacks into the boat. Startled, Eric and the girl separate fast, almost knocking the boat into the water. Eric sees the arrow and realization strikes him. He pulls it out,and looks over at Eryssa. She waves him back. Eric smiles hesitantly than leans over to the girl with him. She smiles, gives him a peck on the cheek then jumps out of the boat. Never resurrfacing.

Eric rows in to shore and Eryssa helps him pull the boat in. Once on shore, Eric turns to Eryssa.
"Hey Sis. Didn't know you were in."
Eryssa ignores it and presses on to the business weighing her mind. "Who is she?
"Okay I know what you are thinking..."
"Poseidon?"
"Ryss, I know you think........."
"WHO IS SHE ERIC?"
Eric sighs. "Yes, She s a daughter of Poseidon."
Eryssa clears her throat.
"Her name is Brenna. She is 16. We met 2 months ago."
"Eric how could you not tell me! We are twins. I'm your only family, besides Dad, who doesn't count. Sorry Dad."
"I dunno. You are always off w/Artemis and I never talk much with you. And after, you know what, I guess I didn't know how you would react. I'm sorry Sis. "
"I'm sorry to. Eric. I shouldn't have been so hard. I guess I need to trust you know what you are doing. Trust that you won't make the same mistake I made(bad boy relationship.). How are you?"
Eryssa and her brother talk for a while, catching up on new, they hadn't learned through Iris messager. A few hours later. Eryssa returns to her cabin.

Thalia and Jason were walking along the water catching up. They see Piper on the dock. They walk up to her. Thalia and Piper have been on pretty good terms even with the whole, you REALLY like my brother part. Out on the dock, Piper suggests that they take a boat out, and everyone agrees. Out on the lake they see the water rippling. They figue it's nothing and continue, but the ripples follow them. Suddenly out of the lake, a sea monster jumps out at them and grabs Jason, dragging him back into the sea. Piper jumps in after him, but a current pulls her in after Jason. Thalia panicks. She pulls at the winds around her, and she closes her eyes. When she opens them she sees the ground below her. She doesn't exactly like that thought and touches down on the ground outside the Artemis cabin. She shouts at the girls inside and starts running towards the Poseidon cabin. SOMEONE has to help her. After collecting some help she sprints back to the lake.

The Hunters arrive quickly at the lake.

"What should we do?"

Aqua and Brooke from Poseidon arrive a couple minutes after. Soon a flock of people is gathered.

Aricia follows behind the others and stares out in to the lake.

"Thalia what happened?!"

Thalia expalined the situation but before she finished, Aqua and Brooke looked at each other and understood what both were thinking. They jumped straight in to the water and didn't come up a few minutes later. the rest of the people gathered around the lake were nervous for the two even though they know perfectly well that Aqua and Brooke are daughters of Poseidon.

Under water, Aqua and Brooke swam and swam farther and farther from the shore. They can sense where the sea monster headed, and so they followed the trail. deeper deeper they went, they were starting to shiver even though they were still dry. and then they spotted it.

Aricia paced the shore with the others and waited for Aqua and Brooke to resurface. One of the victims she hears is Piper, who is a daughter of Aphrodite, making her one of Aricia's numerous half-siblings. The other is Thalia's brother and she hopes both of them are ok.

Aqua and Brooke follow the trail into a small undersea cave. They see Piper and Jason both tied up and inside air bubble against the far side of the cave. The monster is asleep on the opposite wall.

(Aqua and Brooke)

"Aqua, do you think we could sneak P&J out? Or should we finish off the Monster?" Brooke asks.

(Aqua looks at Brooke)

"I think we should finish off the monster. If we don't it might take another demigod." Aqua replies.
Brooke asks again, "Finish the monster first or save P&J? i think it will be better if we save them first get them to shore then come back for the monster, don't you think so too?"

"Sure." Aqua replies. "Quiet now."

Brooke and Aqua propel over the Piper and Jason. They pick them up and begin to swim towards the shore. About 5 feet away from the beach. Brook senses something coming up behind them.

"Uh, Aqua. The monster is right behind us!"

Aricia points from the shore.

"Thalia, shouldn't we do something?!"

Thalia looks at what Aricia was pointing at.
"We should help them." Thalia replied.
Just when Thalia was about to go into the water, the sea monsters tail went up and she backed up. Then there was chaos around the lake. Everyone's relief popped like a bubble and it was replaced by nervousness.

(back at the water)

Brooke let go of Piper and Aqua did the same. They both gave the two a push upward so the other campers can get them. Then they faced the sea monster.

Aricia starts wadding in the water and attempts to swim up to grab Piper and drag her out of the lake before the monster can attack them again.

"Come on Piper, we need to get out of here."

Piper is gasping for air and she keeps on throwing up the water that she drank. Finally, Piper started to paddle too and both Aricia and Piper got to shore quickly.
Meanwhile, Thalia was also hurrying to shore with an unconscious Jason. She was tired when she got to shore with Jason. Thalia called for help, "Does anyone know how to resuscitate?"
Piper started to walk towards Jason and Thalia. When she got there, Thalia shook her head. "Not you. NO."
"You just came out of the water." she added while shaking her head.
"Anyone else knows how?" Piper asked the crowd.
Everyone looked around and started to shake their heads.
"Guess no one here knows how to do it. It's either I do it or--" She didn't finish her sentence. She can't even think about it happening to Jason but everyone else understood what she meant.
Thalia looks unsure. She was staring into space and then she stared at Jason. She sighed. "Alright then."
Thalia looked like she was about to add something else but she kept it to herself. Piper sat on the left side of Jason and she started to lower herself. Her head is going crazy and her breathing got uneven. She doesn't know if she can still do it. She's hyperventilating! But she has to. Or else...
She breathed in and out then put her mouth on his and started the first aid.

[UNDER THE SEA AFTER PIPER AND JASON WERE BROUGHT TO SHORE]

The sea monster Brooke and Aqua are facing is huge! It was half fish, half snake. On the part where the fishes fins is supposed to be, there are arms. And not just regular arms... they were massive. Both girls were so shocked to see it fully that they didn't notice its tail coming towards them from their side. The bubble they were in burst! They drank and inhaled a lot of water.
They can still breathe! They didn't choke on the water. When they drink the water, their vision and senses become clearer and more accurate. And when they inhale the water, it becomes their air. It's like it is their oxygen. They started towards the monster without any fear. And they charged!!!

(ABOVE THE LAKE)


Ash, from Zeus come running in just as Piper begins first Aid.
"STOP! Piper I'll do it. You can barely move! I know First Aid! Make way people!" Ashni reaches Piper and Jason. Thalia has pulled her away. Piper is barely awake, and is mumbling.
"Got to save Jason...."
Ashni, kneels down and administers First Aid. Using her wind, she gently coaxes Jason to breathing normal. When Ashni is satisfied Jason sleeping peacefully she stands up.
"He'll be fine. Take them to the infirmary. I've got to help Brooke and Aqua!"
Leaving the crowd behind she moves to the edge of the shore and begins to call on her wind.

BENEATH THE WATER

The fight with the Sea Monster wasn't going sot well. Brooke and Aqua were righting hard, but the Monster was just to powerful.
"We need a break! We can't go on much longer!" Aqua says.
Suddenly the water around the Monster starts to move. The Monster seems trapped in a whirling blur of water.
"What's going on?" Brooke says.
"I don't know! But it looks like help! Look!"
They see the Sea Monster slowly rising upwards in it's cyclone.
"Follow it!" Says Brooke. As they break the surface, they see Ashni and Dawn from Zeus moving the wind, looking fatigued and tried from the effort.
"Ash! Listen, Stop the wind! We'll hold up the monster. Suck out his air! So he'll stop breathing! Then we'll do something about him! Okay?" Brooke says.
"Okay!" comes the reply!"On the count of 3!
"1......2.......3..!"


(Chiron should appear sometime.)

they sucked out all of the air in the sea monster but it still can move though not that strong as before.
chuck. chuck. chuck. Chiron was running towards the Lake. He heard some commotion a while before but he didn't mind it. He thought the kids were just playing but when he got out of his office, he saw a lot of kids around the lake and a floating fish that has tail so he decided to go.

Aricia picks up Piper and heads off to the infirmary and away from the action for the moment being. She holds her half-sister gently and tries to be encouraging.

"Jason is going to be fine Piper, you two are both going to be fine now. Okay?"

Thalia grabs Jason, and follows Aricia. They take um to the Infirmary and lay them on beds.

Aricia puts Piper down on the bed.

"Sleep, and don't do anything super Piper." She orders.

Aricia turns back to Thalia. "What now boss? We going back to others ir are we standing guard here?" She asks

"I think we should stand guard here. They can handle it there. Plus, we're not really that big a help." Thalia looked at Jason worriedly.

"Good point, best to let the Poseidon campers take care of that sea monster back there." Aricia looks at Piper and fidgets uncomfortably. "Don't you DARE die." She threatens the unconscious girl.

Piper opens her eyes as if in a daze. "I won't." she mumbles, then slips back into unconsiousness.

BACK AT THE LAKE

The Sea Monster has been sucked lifeless, and is now a lifeless body floating on water.
"Everyone, move away from the Beach! We're gonna transport it! Then we'll make sure it's dead, before...uh doing something."

"Okay!" The crowd moved back as the monster slowly moved towards the land and down to rest with a thud.

Slowly, the Poseidon and Zeus demigods come closer, just as the monster bolts upwards grabbing Ashni and diving back into the lake again.

"It's a Sea Hydra! 5 lives! Let's go Aqua!" Says Brooke following Ashni and the Hydra.

Aqua dove right after Brooke did. They chased after the monster and rounded the lake a couple of times before the monster slowed down a bit. Aqua and Brooke are becoming a little tired with the chase and so they decided to think of a plan.

"Brooke, what now? We can't just follow this monster around whole day. It will take us maybe a week for it to finally surrender and Ashni might not make it that far." Aqua said.

"I know Aqua. That's why we're going to rest for a while and think of a good plan to defeat this sea monster especially that it has 5 lives--well, now, it's just four since we 'killed' it a few minutes ago." Brooke replied with her eyebrows together.

"We should go to above then and ask some useful information. And we can ask some of the demigods in the cabin of Athena." Aqua insisted.

Brooke nodded then murmured, "Let's go before we ran out of time to save Ashni."

The girls swam above the surface and they found themselves far away from the shore. They can't even see the shore from where they surfaced. If it hadn't been for their abilities to locate where they are exactly when they're in water, they probably wouldn't be able to go back to camp. But even if they know where they are, here is too far away from Camp Half-Blood. They'd lose so many precious time to get there. It might even take them days to tail the sea monster back here because they were in the middle of the Meditterenean Sea.


*dark music plays*


"Oh my gods, Brooke! You do know where we are right?" Aqua asked with a shocked voice.

"Uh-huh. And to think that we only swam for a couple of minutes... I wonder what's happening to camp already." Brooke wondered and somehow, she felt some tension in the water that gives her the feeling that it's from the Lake in Camp Half-Blood.



...and so, Brooke's senses is always correct whenever she's in water. Around the lake, a lot more demigods started to gather. Everyone is tense and jittery. Even Chiron, who had been pacing the side of the lake for almost all the time Aqua and Brooke went down again.



"It's been hours, Chiron. Don't you think we should send someone there, too?" Thalia asked. She went down right after some Apollo kids told her that Jason will probably wake up the next day.

"It's too dangerous. We don't know where the sea monster, or the lake, might've took them." Chiron replied. Though he is worried sick, he just have to trust the other two. Besides, they are where they belong.

Aricia had returned to the shore as well, leaving Piper in the capable hands of the Apollo campers. They all had been waiting several hours for Brooke and Aqua to resurface, for anything to happen really but so far the tension has just grown worse with every passing minute.

"They could be okay, I mean they are meant to be in the sea right? They said that thing has five lives so they are probably just wearing it down so they can kill it four more times."

However, Aricia doesn't sound even half as sure of her statement as she wants to sound, and she feels even worse.

"Or maybe we should go after them, that...that thing could have led them in to a trap or something."

She rubs her temples, unsure of what to do, all the while still worrying about Piper and Jason. Had they been the intended targets? Or had they merely just been there for the monster to snatch up the easiest?

BROOKE AND AQUA

"Okay, Aqua, so we are in Camp waters, so we're okay. Right now, I wish I had been a better Geography student! Ashni will be okay a little while. She has wind and air powers. Unfortunatly, we don't know how long they will last, so the sooner we get in there the better." Brooke said. "What to do.... Hey Aqua! I have an idea! That way we don't have to go back to camp half, blood, but we can talk to the campers. They might tell us where we are!"

"What?" Aqua asked, with a slight idea, as to what Brooke was suggesting.

"Iris Message! We have the water! And I think I have some drachmas, in my pants." Brooke reaches down to a pocket on the side of her pants, inside she opens another that reveals a glint of gold. As a child of Poseidon, the coins were not even wet.

"Yes!" Aqua says! They high do a high five sending a spray of water in the air. With her other hand, Brooke sent the coin into it. "Camp Half-Blood beach!" The girls said together.

A moment later, an image of Chiron, Thalia, and the other campers appeared.

"Hello Chiron, Thalia. We have limited time, so we've got to make this quick! We are stranded somewhere in the Lake, I can tell....blabitty blah...with no clue whatsoever where Ashni and the monster have gone. We were wondering is you could somehow locate us and tell us where we are, and if you know anything about the Sea-Hydra, that could help us in our search."

"Oh, and Is it possible to send weapons through the Iris message?" Aqua asked.


((Adri are you okay that we are playing Thalia and Aqua for you sometimes? Once this is over it'll stop. If you want, we will stop playing them so you have em again.))

((guys, can I make my charrie also appear here?))

[At Camp]

Everyone beside the Lake looked at the girls who appeared in the water. They were all shocked. And when Aqua and Brooke asked Chiron, they all turned their heads on him expecting him to answer right away but he didn't. Chiron didn't know where they are and have no clue on how to find that out. "Can you describe what is around you?" he asked.

they saw the girls move their heads around. then Brooke answered, "Nothing Chiron, just water and I'm guessing the waters stretch out farther."
Aqua nodded.

"Girls, I don't think I can tell where you are. And I have not the slightest idea where you can find the hydra. I'm sorry but I guess you have to figure those on your own. But can't you locate where you are?" Chiron explained and asked.

"No, we don't know. We can't locate where we are. It seems like something keeps us from locating here." Aqua said while shaking her head.

"Maybe I can help." All head were turned to the voice that rose from the crowd. Irvette is standing beside Chiron. She became self-conscious with all their stares so she added, "I am also from the Poseidon Cabin."

She heard some demigods say "oh."

Irvette started to approach water. When she was close enough, she held out her hand and put a finger in the water where the Iris message is.

Aqua and Brooke where shocked with what she did but both were doubtful if Irvette can locate them and the monster. They also almost forgot about her when they went to the Lake.

"You are in the South of the Meditteranean Sea. You are nearing Greece." Irvette said.




((does anyone know the numbers (the one like what Percy said in the first movie I think.) ?))

((this is my 60th post! lol :) ))

Aricia stepped back from the lake and looked over at Thalia. "Should I go see if those two daughters of Hera can do anything to help?"

Celeste and Carynn were the only two known existing children of the goddess Hera and they were better than average when it came to finding things out about the Camp Half-Blood family. They could maybe help find a way to get Brooke and Aqua back, but there was a slight problem. It would be hard to convince them to go save a child of Zeus.

While Aricia went to find the two children of Hera, Irvette tried to see if anything can go through the Iris message. She said, "Aqua, Brooke, I'm going to try to make this rock appear there. Just say if it comes through, all right?"

She put the rock right in the middle of the message.

"It's here!!!" Shouted Brook.
"Oh. It's gone! Wait! Wait! here it is again." Aqua said.
"this is getting weird. How can you do that?" Brooke asked Irvette.

"I don't know. Here, I'll try to conscentrate and you get it out of my hand." Irvette closed her eyes. She imagined her hands becoming visible on the other end. It did. She added the rock resting on her palm. It, too, became visible. And then she felt hands brush her own. And the rock vanished. She opened her eyes.

"Did you get it?" Irvette asked.

"We did!!!" both girls said with a wide smile on their face.

"Wow good job Irvette." Says Brooke. "Just a quick thing. How did we get all the way near Greece! I can feel Camp waters! Don't know how, but......D o you think there is like something where if we cross a certain point we go to Greece? Time Travel or something of the concept?"

"Times almost out Brooke." Aqua says. She throw in another drachma.

(yeah, it's fine. idc, just don't send them out on a quest or kill them or something... =))

Aricia arrives back at the lake to meet up with the Hunters. Behind her Celeste and Carynn, daughter's of Hera trail close by.

"Thalia, has there been any news?" She asks. "Have they found a way back yet? What about Ashni?"

Behind Aricia, Celeste glares under her eye lashes at Thalia but doesn't say anything, hoping her twin will be quiet as well, or at least until less people were around.

"Yes, tell me daughter of Zeus has there been any updates on your half-sister?" She asks.

Carynn glares at Thalia.

"You asked for us? Why? You need help? You can't do it yourself Daughter of Zeus? You have to get help from your enemies? Huh?" Carynn is slowly walking to Thalia, before she lunges, Celeste grabs her pulling her back.

"Carynn!"



Carynn turns away.

BROOKE AND AQUA

"Well we know where we are. And nothing about the Hydra...." suddenly she gets pulled under the water.

"Brooke!" Aqua goes under for a moment. When she resurfaces, "I think we know where the Hydra is. Sorry, but I kinda gotta go......" Aqua dissapears under the water.

Celeste pushes her twin away from Thalia.

"Carynn come on we were asked here for help because we are campers here too. It doesn't matter who we are helping, we need to do what we can."

She gives her sister a look. Since they are identical they have somewhat of a mental connection. THrough her mind she says: 'What better way to make Zeus' kids look bad than to be saved by Hera children?'

(Armenia)

Armenia steps in between Thalia and the twins just in case Celeste can't hold Carynn back. "Back off Carynn."

"Sorry." She says, with no meaning in her voice.

She replies to Celeste by mental connections. "I know right? I thought you didn't care though. You had no hard feelings?"

Back at the others. "We still don't know what to do? What is the status of the two dolphins (Brooke and Aqua)?" She asks.

Celeste looks at Carynn and gives a small nod and her mind says;

'Of course I have hard feelings. Mom always gets a bed reputation but LOOK at how many kids Zeus has.'

"I'm sure Brooke and Aqua can handle anything that involves the water." She says to everyone else. "And I'm sure Ashni is in good hands. Those two sounded like they had a plan at least."

"So you don't need us?" Carynn says.

"We still do. We'll need some of your help." Thalia replied. Then she added, "Please, do help us even though it involves kids of Zeus. I know you might be angry with us with your mom and all but this is another person, demigod, we are talking about. Can you set aside your feelings for this one?"

Celeste nods.

"Of course; kids don't chose their parents, let alone the conditions of their birth." She looks at her sister sternly. "We will do what we can."

"Thank you." Thalia said meaningfully and whole heartedly at them. She can now breathe. Just a little bit.

Celeste nods and takes her twin aside so no one else can hear them talk.

"Listen, we will help this once. There is nothing Zeus hates more than when he owes Hera a favor. We save one of his demigods and he not only owes mother but his children owe US." She smirks. "See what I mean? Besides what I said is true; no one choses their parents."

Carynn is silent for a moment then replies, "Fine. I'll help. But I don't want to."

"And you'll restrain yourself until we're done?" Celeste presses.

"Celeste..." She stops at her sisters glare.

"Fine. I'll be helpful and somewhat kind until we are finished." Carynn promises.

"Now what do you want us to do?" Carynn says. "Let's get this over with.

(I don't know if you guys will like this idea for RP, but I was thinking that if there was a rift in time, you know how they got to Mediterreanian(i know it's spelled wrong) in less than an hour, that maybe the rift also transported them to ancient greece! Is it just me that think it's cool? If so, then we can ditch that idea)

(yeah. that would be great :) )

(sounds cool! We can all cause mayhem in the ancient world haha)

Aricia is glad the daughters of Hera have decided to help and looks at Thalia.

"So, what exactly is our plan now Thalia?"

(Okay, rift in time it is! So Brook, Ashni, and Aqua have to figure out away to get back to their time without messing up anyhting in Greek history)

"Yeah a plan would be nice." Carynn sayus bluntly. Eve though she has agreed to keep her peace, she doesn't hold back the edgyness in her voice and tone.
