Calling all Demigods! discussion

A long, quiet stretch of beach extends beside a moonlit ocean, the sky a brilliantly deep blue, like the softest of navy velvets. A silvery glow radiates from a young maiden, sitting beside a crystal-silver fire, alone but for a dozen or so ghost-white wolves circling the beach. Suddenly, as if from the shadows, young women armed with deadly bows and hunting knives appear from all directions, taking their places beside the commanding figure of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, awaiting eagerly for the Hunt for the Basilisk to begin.

Soyala and Sabira appered next to each other, finding themselfs arrmored. Soyala wore hard leather and her native beaded leather clothes under, her long bow and quiver over her shoulder, and her belt with knives. Sabira fould herself in black clothes, her bow and quiver over her shoulder along with her long sword at her waist.

Illiana came onto the beach next to Sabira and Soyala. She wore a brown shirt with black pants. She carried her bow and quiver over her shoulder. After she finished observing her clothing, she said,"Hello,Soyala. Hello, Sabira. Are you excited about the Hunt?"

((Woot!))
Lelani's bow is readied and held at her side in a tight grip. Her hair is bound into a tight bun and her normal carefree expression is replaced by determination and solemnity. She stands statues, everything still except for her scanning eyes. Her clothes mask her with the night, blending so only the brilliance of her battle lusting face shows.

Katerina walked on the sand, reaching the other Hunters. Her hair was plaited down her back and she wore a black leather corset with silver fastinings and black pants. Her daggers were in her black boots and her bow and quiver slung over her shoulder. She smiled slightly and looked at the others
"Hello" she greeted the others, her fingers playing impatiently with a strand of hair that was falling over her face. Her eyes quickly scanned over the others, taking in everything she could get about them.

"Hello, Katerina," Illiana said happily, pushing the small amount of hair that strayed from her braid from her face."Are you excited about the Hunt?"

Katerina smiled and nodded
"Yup, very. How much do we know about this Basilisk anyway?" she asked

Illiana stood there for a moment, pondering. Finally she replied,"All I know is that it is like a large,scaly rooster. The scales will likely make it hard to defeat."

Kat smirked
"Well, i've always loved a challenge" she stated

"Me too," Illiana admitted, smiling."I wonder where we will be journeying for the Hunt."

"A Basilisk is nothing like the one in Harry Potter, I assume." Lelani spoke, a small smirk on her face.

"Even though it isn't the same," Illiana said,"I wonder if it can die the same way, by its own venom."

Kat arched an eyebrow
"Harry Potter? That 'book' knows not much of the real mythological world" she muttered then she looked to the others
"Maybe Lady Artemis knows" she added shrugging

((Who's RPing Artemis??))

"Most likely. And I agree about it not knowing much of the mythological world, however I have learned that Rowling tried to use mythological references." Illiana said."Sorry if you did not mean for us to hear that, I have an acute sense of hearing."

((Maybe Magdalena, I think she organized the Hunt))

((Hello?))

((oh hey sorry went to eat :P))

Kat grinned and shrugged
"No worries"

((You guys are quick! :)))

Georgiana padded silently into the moonlight, face exuberant at the prospect of another Hunt. The firelight caught her silver bow and quiver, making them seem to shimmer with a mythical radiance.

"Maybe Rowling didn't want mortals getting anywhere close to the truth?" she offered, shrugging her smooth shoulders and making her long black hair shift over to the left in its simple braid.

((Artemis will announce details once most Hunters are present, but I suppose she can chat ;) ))

((It's fine, just wondering if you disappeared))

"Good, because I hate to make people mad or sad. It makes me feel guilty." Illiana made a sad-guilty looking face, then giggled. She turned to Georgiana,"That would make sense."

((So, I assume that you are RPing Artemis?"

Artemis stepped towards the group of girls. "My Hunters, I have been without you--and without a Hunt--for so long, I hardly know whether to embrace you all or sprint into the moonlit forest."
Her eyes sparkled with the rare hint of warmth.

Katerina smiled as she saw Artemis, and gave a slight courtesy of respect
"My Lady, what do we know of the Basilisk?" she asked her "I want to hunt!It's been quite some time now..."

Illiana smiled, happy to see Lady Artemis again. She pondered what to say to her, considering she hadn't seen her in so long.

((Nevermind, question answered:-)))

"The Basilisk is an ancient being, formed from a rooster sitting atop a serpent's egg. The most striking and excitingly challenging characteristic of the Basilisk is that it is not originally of Greek origins." Here Artemis paused, smiling a bit as the maidens were pulled into her tale.

"Amazing! A rooster formed a new being just by sitting on it!" Illiana said excitedly.

Kat smiled at Illiana's reaction then looked at Artemis
"So...if it's not greek..then what..?" she trailed off, looking questioningly at her patron.

"The Basilisk," Artemis continued, "migrated to ancient Greece. I remember when it happened. Of course, any kind of monster is eventually found by Echidna, and she brought it under her wing, so to speak."

((hello? You don't need to come urgently, I'm just wondering if you found the Basilisk and it attacked.:-P))

"Do you know where it migrated from?"Illiana said more calmly.

((Bulletin board said let the hunt begin:-) ))

((I found some mac n' cheese and attacked it. ;) then my iPod died.))

"Somewhere in northern Europe, or so I'm told. In those days I didn't pay much attention to that area. Now, of course, I regret it." Artemis affected, for a moment, a look of remorse, which quickly was smoothed by a grim smile.
"Now the beast is attacking towns in the Midwest."

"When do we attack it?!" Kat jumped up, her whole body itching for the fight that had to ensue while battling the Basilisk. The want for the fight was obvious to the fact that she was an Ares after all

Illiana looked at Artemis, hoping for an answer of 'today' or 'tomorrow'.

Artemis glanced around the Hunters gathered in camp. "Before the trail goes cold, and as soon as all my Hunters are present... my guess is sunrise."

Illiana smiled, excited.

Eleanor has followed her fellow hunters out of the cabin, silent a s always. A frown was upon her lips, as always, and she merely watched her sister's excitement with a passive expression, as always.

Sighing quietly, she shifted her weight back and forth, beginning to grow impatient. Where is everyone?

Ada was silent. IT was like coming home again after a long time...too long.

"Are you knew here?" Ada asked, surprised the young huntress didn't know her already.

Lelani remanied oddly silent, watching the conversation with a lopsided tiny smile.

((Please create your character before RPing. Comment Deleted.))

"Welcome, thou hast--you have come at a very good time." She corrected herself.

Kat looked around impatiently then looked back at Artemis
"When do we leave My Lady? We have to go before it escapes the realm!"

Artemis smiled, seeing her hunters gathered, anticipating the Hunt. "The trail leads from there," she said, pointing one long, silvery finger to a path of reeds to the east. The wolves growled. Moonlight shimmered and it seemed that the very air was holding its breath.

"Let's head off!" the goddess cried, gesturing for her Hunters to follow as she took off at a long sprint towards the trail. The Hunt was on!

With a quick inhale, Eleanor speed off after the goddess. Her expression never faltered, save for the almost-smile that almost crept onto her lips as she ran that faded as she almost fell as they began passing through the reeds

Kat smiled brightly,the adrenaline ran through her whole body, as she followed Artemis.
She slowed down slightly as she saw another hunter stumble.
"You Ok?" she called to her

((Adrenaline*))

Eleanor nodded slightly, pursing her lips together. Dear gods. They'd hardly begun and she was already stumbling. She couldn't help but wonder what that could possibly foreshadow for later.

Kat gave her a small smile then turned and sprinted off

Bub wrote: "Hello."

((please create a character before RPing. Check the FAQ's thread if you have question.))

Ada was off, the world flew past her an a dizzying collage of shapes wrapped in the embrace of silvery light that seemed to emanate from the goddess just in front of her through the reeds.

Illiana sped to catch up, proud to be with her fellow hunters on a hunt.

((ugh i just read all of your 52 posts!!!! now I get ot rp!!!))

Soyala and Sabira took off, sliftly between the trees. It was like it was long ago, Sabira remeber, so much like greece...
