Shæ walked over to the tree and rubbed her eyes, bumping into someone. She looked up. Two someones actually. "Sorry. Sorry." she let her hair cover her face. She was a bit awkward around boys. She moved to go past but one of them grabbed her wrist. Shæ stiffened.

"That drunk up there" He said pointing to his father who waited boredly for the kids to come around. "About earlier, I- well i wasn't in my right mind you know, i just wanted to apologize. How long have you been here? Cause ive been around for almost two years and ive never seen you." He said to Shay kind of interested in the kid, the way he saw it most of the time the kids from the big there we're snobby and super stuck up. This one seemed different. Suddenly a the fire girl walked up.

"About a year but I don't participate in very many camp activities, I think their boring and as for capture the flag that loses it's touch when you can appear out of shadows." he chuckled "But I digress, I'm sorry about your sister by the way but I did put a Drachma in her mouth so when she gets to Charon she can pay the crotchety old bastard off he's a diiiiiiiiiiiick."

"I am sick of waiting." Dionysus said. "The first person of five going on this mission is Shælyn King, leader of Posidien." Dionysus said disapointed. "The second and third people are Valen DiAngelo and Micheal Freeman. Some good kids right there, and the final two are Shay Fields and Vic Meyrick. Congrats, you five will be retrieving the golden fleece in exactly 8 hours." Dionysus said.

Michael looked over at Shay and smiled "Well i guess where in this together eh cuz?" He said beginning to laugh, the mention of his sister was a little to much and he didn't even want to say anything but a thank you. He turned to the girl, it was Shae. She seemed to be in a hurry. He then saw the Girl he thought to be Valen. "Your Valen right? The one my dad just mentioned?" He said blushing, he wasnt sure if he was right, this power wasnt one he was all to familiar with yet. At best he got small vibes of peoples life force and how they were feeling.

Val yawned and saw Michael and Shæ. She stood and faced them. "Yes I am. I'm a bit surprised though. Why me? I just got back from earning this." She showed them her scar.

Shæ didnt say a word. She was trying to figure out why she was going. It was a bit odd to her. She'd never been chosen before. Then she saw Valens scar. "Owch. I'm not even gonna ask." She flinched in sympathetic pain.

"Mr. Dino strikes again." Vic mumbled. One of her brothers clapped her back. She gave him a halfhearted smile, and then thanks. Her ability was going to start flairing up like crazy, just like it always did for staying up. And... Quests. She already knew her partners, and realized Valen was P.K.

She moved her hands to her belt, and gripped her knife's sheath carefully. All she needed was her slingshot.

She walked awkwardly over to the group.

Shay smiled at Michael "I guess were in it now no backing out let's get some revenge eh toilet bowl hooch is on the house tonight!." Shay laughed then fiddled around feeling akward again "I'm sorry if I annoy you Michael just people expect me to act like a child of Hades and sometimes I do but other times It's party time!"

(What does p.k mean?)

Micheal chuckled softly "Its alright man I can get a little out of hand some times to, im the son of the God of wine after all." He looked at the girls "Right, I don't think im gonna be getting any sleep tonight but don't let that stop you guys, can we take this conversation to Hades cabin? I know we wont be interrupt there, unless your going to sleep as well Shay?" He said as he looked from person to person. Just then Vic walked up and Michael greeted her with a grin.

"Yeah Hades cabin is kinda quiet there's no one there so your all welcome to come just don't mind the ambient lighting." Shay laughed then turned and walked off towards Hades cabin decided not to shadow travel making it to his cabin he opened the door and revealed an all black cabin the walls and the floor gave the optical illusion of falling and the only light was torches on the wall.

"Welcome to my home away from nowhere." Shay said walking inside.

Michael stepped into the open doorway and looked around the room. It looked like a the inside of a castle almost "This is pretty cool i've never been in any of the Big's cabins, I like the quiet you cant buy it at my cabin, especially with the little ones who came in last week" He said growing distant all of a sudden, he thought back to Harlem's face when she had seen those two, like she had never seen anything so precious in her life. He remembered how she had stayed up late for the past week reading them all bed times stories, and how even the older kids had got into it. Michael sat there for a moment with his head down thinking about such things.

As Vic looked over at Michael, he noticed her vision started to deem. She hardly patted her head, as if trying to controlled her power. "I already know whose in the room." She mumbled.

She sighed as her eyes disobeyed her, and created lines to block her vision. Each of them turned into four quadrants, with a x and y axis. It showed the five campers in. The room, all of them colored dots. Everyone was blue, except for Vic, who happened to be red. She gave a defeated sigh. "I hate powers..."

Austin nodded, grasping his brothers forearm, rather than his hand. "I remember. I can work on that. We need a warning system though, incase something does get past." He heard the call to go back to the big tree, and looked towards it. He said," Come on." He ran to the tree, just in time to hear the announcements of who was going on the quest. He let out a small nod. No one from Zeus cabin then. His mind was racing through attack techniques, if the defensive wall was breached. One thing he knew was containment. Keep them in one area rather then spread them out, due to the difficulty of attacking something spread out, you would loose strength in numbers. He ran his fingers through his hair, making his way back to the cabin.

Nevea woke up in the early morning, knowing that quite shortly, there was almost certainly going to be some sort of announcement. So she'd best get started immediately. Over the course of just over a half of an hour, she changed, applied her make-up, put on a different assortment of accessories, and then made sure it was all perfect, before she went outside. It was just in time to hear the announcement to go to Thalia's tree, and thus, she made her way toward it. Her snowy white hair came around her neck from the back like a scarf, which only stayed that way because of the wind blowing it in that direction.

She had a knack for sensing the direction of the wind before it came. After all, her grandfather was one of the gods of the wind. It was just a little perk. Good for making sure her hair was tied perfectly. And perfectly it was, for the wind that came made her hair's silky smooth feel add to the appearance, and she looked even better than before. Thank Boreas for that wind. She found her way to Thalia's tree, but the absence of the Golden Fleece was no surprise.

Interesting, a quest. What was not interesting was the people going on the quest. She heard Poseidon in there, but that was the only name she slightly cared for. Although, she would most certainly have to get to know at least a few of them, to see if she could do anything to make the results of the quest add favour to her name. And so, she would turn to eavesdropping.

She was a natural at it. She knew that there were some campers who likely had detection mechanisms, and that was fine. She was going to be completely inconspicuous about it. Just taking a stroll through the cabins, stopping to admire the particular cabin that they happened to be in. Campers knew she had an eye for beauty, and so it would be nothing out of the ordinary. So, she walked casually toward the cabin where she had seen them go, her soft, light-fitting shoes padding on the grass with nary a sound. Needless to say, they were very useful shoes.

She weaved her way through a few cabins, before finally stopping at the Hades cabin, and looking at the wall, her eyes moving around to "admire" a pattern here, or a piece here, something that caught her eyes over there. All the while she was listening.

Sbæ yawned. "I gotta get some sleep mate. I'll see ya later." She yawned and walked to her cabin, flopping down on the bed and hoing to sleep in her clothes.

Val looked at Vic and gave her a tired smile.

Seth, dude, come on. It's had enough....

Many of the kids residing in the Hecate cabin could only stare on in shock and fear as Seth put an unfortunate hellhound through agonizing pain. Limbs impaled on jagged crystals, there was little the monster could actually do to escape its punishment for wounding one of Seth's half-siblings. The demigod looked at the creature with bitter hatred before looking back to the other Hecate kid that had spoken to him. He said nothing, but did turn back to the hellhound and send a burst of destructive magic through the crystals to finally put the creature out of its misery.

"Good riddance," Seth hissed as he walked away from the cabin area. "Clean this mess up. Those skilled in healing magic better tend to the injured as well."

Now far from Hecate's cabin, Seth went on to Thalia's Tree to hear the announcement being made by Dionysus and others of Camp Half-Blood's "directors". Afterall, he was the leader of his cabin, it was his job to hear the important stuff discussed by them. On his way there, he noticed a fairly beautiful girl that could have easily passed as a child of Aphrodite. However, her snow white hair and cold eyes quickly gave away her true mother, that being Khione.

Seth did nothing to get her attention though. He also already knew who she was, for the most part at least, and knew that she wasn't the type to engage in idle conversation anyway. Besides, it seemed the announcement had already been going on for a while, so Seth hurried to hear the rest of it. As it turned out, the Golden Fleece had gone missing, much to the dismay of many campers. That's when the wine god announced a quest, and tired of waiting, singled out a handful of campers to embark on the quest.

"So, an item of great magical property has gone missing. Yet not a single one of my siblings were chosen for its retrieval, and I wasn't even looked at by Dionysus," Seth mused irritably to himself. It really was rather stupid, even the youngest of Hecate's kids could pick up and follow magic auras. However, now that the Fleece was gone, the camps borders would begin to fade and allow gods know what to infiltrate it. At the very least, Seth would be able to put himself to use still and do a better job than anyone at slaying any attacking monsters. He smirked before speaking up.

"Now that that's out of the way, wouldn't it be wise to start setting up defenses around the camp? Afterall, with the Fleece gone, monsters would just love to take their chance run in and murder everyone they can."

Val Trudged back to her cabin and stepped inside. "Any empty beds?" one of her half siblings pointed. Val smiled and lay her stuff down on the foot of her bed. Val climbed on top the covers and clised her eyes, sleeping through the sounds of other kids working on mini projects.

Lucas hadn't left the tree yet, so he was nearby when the God gave the news, selecting a few campers to go on a quest to retrieve the golden fleece. He was fine with not being picked to go on a quest, he much preferred the camp anyways, and he figured his talents could come in handy when defending the camp, and late night bonfires.

Lucas looked around at the campers, "How about a party tonight, to see off the 5 going on a quest, after all it is a big one." He offered, trying to ease the tension.

As nothing of much interest came up while Nevea was listening, she eventually walked away, bored with looking at the terribly ugly Hades cabin. It was the Hades Cabin, anyway, so of course it was ugly. Death, darkness, that sort of thing was boring. Eugh. She would have to find out more, but that could wait. After all, they wouldn't be going for at least eight hours. The wind direction that had been keeping her hair in its place around her neck had gone, and so she went back to the cabin in order to change up her hair. Of course, that came with a slight change in make-up, but nothing that took too long.

Satisfied with her look, she walked out and back to Thalia's tree, looking around and listening in on the conversation.

Her interest was caught by the voice of a young man with wavy black hair, whom she quickly identified as the leader of the Hecate cabin, Seth Zorya. She made it a special goal to know about anyone important. She needed to be careful when using them in any way, even for something little. This one, she'd learned quite a bit more than usual about, especially the colder aspects of his personality. She had to be even more careful with those. As he spoke, she thought for a bit before speaking up.

"I can set up ice constructs, which I'm fairly sure the Hephaestus cabin can work well with," she began, with a boldness not unlike her own mother. Her voice was silky and smooth, with a noticeable hint of mysteriousness. Although she weaved sweetness into her voice as usual, there was also the detectable coldness that punctuated certain words. "My ice is naturally strong, but it'll need to be kept a bit cool."

Nevea heard Lucas' idea next, and decided that she would definitely offer to join them when the time came for it.
