Stella waved good bye to the other two preteens, as they seemed to be involved in their own thing with the goddess. She also waved good bye to her older sister, but she silently hoped that the Goddess would catch back up with them eventually, but it seemed that the other two had a problem on their hands. It was still Stella's first day and thankfully she didn't seem to have much in the way of problems, so far. But it did seem that being a demi-god meant that trouble would find you no matter what. She did turn her attention back to the older demi-gods as they explained that the Pegasus stables was somewhere they could go next, and she did chuckle a bit at Marygold's story.

"Oh, yeah, I've done arts and crafts before. I use to go to a summer camp when I was younger, and well, my otou-san does Ikebana and so I sometimes help him with that. It's a rather interesting art form, and that's how my otou-san met dad, through flowers. It's really cute if I say so myself. Though does Ikebana qualify as arts and crafts?" Stella looked around at that and blushed a bit as she realized she had gone off a bit about flowers. Well, it did make sense that she would go off about flowers considering who her mother was now. "So can you head over here whenever you want? I guess I should have asked if there is a schedule."

Camp Grounds:

"I'm doing pretty well thank you, aside from my arm anyway." Alannah answered Demi as she turned her attention towards Zeke and gave a slight shrug. "I just took some nectar for the pain I should be fine here pretty soon, just a sprain and dislocated shoulder." She told him as Bryan looked at Cassian and rolled his eyes slightly, the flirting was a little bit to much for him turning towards his half-brother. "I'll be in the infirmary, Zekey can take care of your eye problem to." He told him patting Zeke on the shoulder a little bit roughly than normal before making his way towards the infirmary he was going to start doing some inventory for the infirmary and whatnot anyway as well to.

Climbing Tower:

Persephone looked between Andy and Arthur for a moment asking about the Doors of Death, and that they were trying to save a friend of theirs from death. She thought about it and where they were, even though she was also the Goddess of the Underworld Hades sometimes didn't tell her everything sometimes. "Hmm, i'm not sure where they are right now sadly, I know their last location was in the House of Hades, a site from the Ancient Lands, or modern Greece for you mortals, so i'd probably start there for any information, thats more of Thanatos' area than mine." Persephone informed them. "Was there anything else I can help you with?" She asked the two of them.

Kristin turned to look at Jason seeing that he was more into sports than any of the artsy stuff. "Well if you want to play some games sometime i'm always down for a little sports game or two." She said towards Jason and gave him a slight smile as she looked over at Mary as she told her a little story whenever she was younger and remembered that as well to. "Those were fun times back then." Kristin said to Mary as she listened to Stella, she assumed that she was talking about her parents which they seemed like they were very nice to her growing up. She knew that sometimes the kids here didn't really have a good upbringing.

"Your parents seem really nice." Kristin said to Stella and smiled some towards Stella, the girl was really nice it seems. "We can head on over to the stables now if you want, and I can get you a camp schedule later from Chiron and give it to you if youd like that." Kristin said, there was a little schedule for the day which would occasionally change from time to time as well to but for the most part people kind of did their own thing as well to.

Kiera smiled towards Leda and smirked a little bit. "Well I certainly don't mind cuddling at all." Kiera said towards her girlfriend as she grabbed a new backpack and eyed the sleeping bags for a moment, and shook her head she did have blankets in her cabin that she could use as well to. "I have some blankets in my cabin that we can use." Kiera said as she grabbed herself a water bottle as well to from the collection of water bottle there, she grabbed an orange one with the camp's logo on it. "Toothbrush and toothpaste shouldn't be an issue I have those as well to."

She looked at what she had gotten and turned towards her girlfriend. "I think I have everything that I need actually thank you love for the help and advice." Kiera said as she leaned in and gave her girlfriend a kiss, before heading over towards the checkout counter, Tammy was at the desk ringing up some other campers, looking at the two of them. "Got everything that you two need?" Tammy asked as Kiera nodded as Tammy looked towards her half-sister to see if she had everything she needed while ringing up Kiera's stuff in.

There was a slight wisp that had left Leandra's body after she had gone left, there was a really chilly feeling around Niah words only she could hear in her head. 'You may have bound me, but there are more of my brothers and sisters and you don't know who or what we have possessed be wary of your friends Oath Binder' The Eidolon hissed at Niah, before the air around Niah would warm up again, she had oath bound only one there maybe more in camp than they realize.

"Maybe, who knows we'll bring it up with Chiron our concerns and Bacchus whenever he does return." Madalyne said towards Nancy as she reached out to gently pat Joanie as the little dragon cued at the attention. "I can talk to Arthur about it or any of my half siblings both Greek and Roman if they'd be willing to help." Madalyne said as she watched Leandra's body going limp, seeing that Niah had actually done it.

Leandra finally came to looking confused and looked at the three of them and then looked at the chains and glared a little bit, the last thing she remembered was the day before. "What happened, and why am I chained to a damn chair?" Leandra demanded, Madalyne rolled her eyes a little bit. "You were possessed by an Eidolon." Madalyne said simply she turned to look at Niah. "Are you alright?" Madalyne asked Niah looking a bit concerned.

Arthur shook his head, not wanting to ask anything more of the goddess in front of him. He figured he'd have to ask either Hades or Thanatos anyway. He'd start with dear old dad, and if he couldn't get anything from him, then he'd have to ask Thanatos. In the meantime, looking in Greece did sound like a good guess, but he also had no idea how he was going to get to Greece, and go on a quest. Those two things seemed mutually exclusive, and not worth spending resources on when they already had so many other leads to follow between the different aspects of the prophecy.

"Um, thank you for your advice though." He said, still feeling sheepish and nervous. Thanking the goddess for help seemed to be the best long term survival plan, so that was what he went with. He hoped at least that his father would be upset with his wife if his progeny was killed by her, but he honestly didn't know if Hades particularly cared about his general well being. He figured, upon further thought, that the king of the underworld probably didn't care much about whether he lived or died, since, of course, him being dead just meant he would be around Hades more.

Demetri could practically feel the stare that was about to come to him from Zeke. It wasn't as if he was intentionally trying to get him away from Janelle, it was simply an added bonus to what he had wanted to do. His eye looked towards Zeke, then back at Janelle, then back towards Zeke. Giving a defeated and awkward smile that luckily Janelle wouldn't be able to see. Holding his hands up, he backed away slowly one step before speaking. "My bad mate. Didn't mean to interrupt, I can just see you later after dinner or something. It's no rush really."

Demi tucked the box holding both the eye and book behind his back before looking at everybody present. "I actually need to find Madalyne anyways. Got a message for her. So if any of you have seen her or heard of where she might be? That'd save me time from running about Camp all day." Demetri said in an attempt to make sure Janelle or anyone didn't bother trying to tell Zeke to help him right away, even if his heart was a little broken over this.

Cassian had to fight a grin that was threatening to cross his lips. He didn't like to hear that other campers were injured, but he did like to hear that he was right. Having guessed the dislocated shoulder even without properly examining the injury, though he supposed it was a simple enough stab that anyone could've done it. He noticed Bryan rolling his eyes at him, making him wonder if he should say anything about it. Cassian opted against it, decidedly believing that the only thing he could think to say to him wouldn't look good at the moment.

He lifted his hand, waving his fingers at Bryan in a sort of 'ta-ta' motion as he bid him goodbye. Cass's weight shifted onto his hip as he turned his attention towards Zeke, looking to see what he would say in both regards to himself and the little son of Zeus that had popped up from nowhere. He put on his most impish smile as he addressed him. "And where is my hello? He said with a feigned hurt in his voice. "Oh sod off. I didn't forget I chose not to say."

Leda smiled, returning Kiera's kiss. She honestly didn't feel like she had helped that much - and she was pretty certain that they'd lose all of their supplies on the trip anyways. That tended to be how things went for demigods. Whatever they had on day one they rarely returned with - returning alive at all was an accomplishment on its own and asking for more than that was really pushing things. Leda didn't want to think about it, but there was a nonzero chance that one or both of them could die on this quest - that this would be the twilight of their romance. Greeks weren't as longed lived as Romans. Most of them didn't make it to their college years.

"Nah, 'm all set," Leda answered, shaking her head at Tammy. She was just going to grab some stuff from her cabin and call it good. Leda didn't really believe in being over prepared for anything - she barely believed in being prepared as it was. She was just going to take her trusty backpack, a change of clothes or two, and throw in the supplies that she felt she'd need. She had ambrosia and nectar anyways on hand already and didn't feel a need to pay for it. "Unless you've got some cash you're willing to part with?" Leda asked. Cash was always helpful - mortal or otherwise.

Nancy never actively routed for her friends to fail, but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with Leandra being freed from possession. She would've preferred for Leandra to somehow get free, that way she could beat her up again without looking like a sadist. She sighed as Leandra woke up, feeling a migraine coming on from her presence. "You're fucking welcome, by the way," Nancy told Leandra, before turning to look at Niah and Mads.

She also hoped that Bacchus wouldn't return for a while. He freaked her out, majorly. Every time Nancy saw him it felt like her skin was crawling. However, as Mads asked Niah if she was alright, Nancy instantly fully turned her attention to Niah. "Did that bitch do something to you? I'll stab her eyes out myself if she did," Nancy swore, instantly fiercely protective over her extremely close friend.

Ezekiel looked over at Cassian when he addressed him with a tone that was way too interested in Zeke and Janelle. He gave Cass a bit of a glare before he heard Demetri and rolled his eyes. Seriously, now of all times he needed his eye looked at? Janelle still took the moment to answer him and he smiled, seeing the smile on her face and how beautiful it was warmed him far more than the sun ever could. Cassian’s words and compliments left his head when he saw that smile. No one else could covet such a thing like Zeke could when it came to Janelle’s smile.
”I can’t say I agree with you, in regards to the snow thing. I was built more for the sun and summer season I’m afraid. It is a nice reprieve. Could I talk to you for a moment actually, in private?” Zeke asked Janelle. He wanted to get ahead of her brother when it came to the Persephone thing.
Once she agreed, Ezekiel offered his arm to Janelle by letting her know it was there if she needed. Zeke knew she was more than capable but he wanted to lead her away from people. He looked at Demetri when he started to back away. Well at least he could read a situation. ”Ya, I can look at it later. Same for you Alannah if you want that back in before the bonfire tonight,” he offered before leading Janelle away.
Once they were away from the main group, Ezekiel cleared his throat awkwardly and shifted his weight. ”So, Jason will likely mention it to you but um, Persephone showed up, she’s Hades’s wife but Bryan bet me 50 drachma to ask her out. So, I did of course, I mean, it’s real easy to ask someone out and she’s the wife of Hades so I knew nothing was going to happen and nothing did, of course but ya, I wanted to tell you myself. I know it’s kind of a dick move to ask someone out with no intention of wanting more but, ya…” Zeke shrugged and trailed off. He felt bad suddenly and he hated that feeling. At the time, asking Persephone didn’t even phase him but now that he was telling it to someone he cared about, Zeke realized he screwed up.

---

Janelle was a bit unsure what all was really going on around her. It didn't help that she didn't know what facial expressions that everyone else had currently. The words that were being spoken made her wonder what was going through the others minds, but she glanced slightly towards the sound of Zeke's voice when he asked if he could talk to her alone for a moment. She nodded her head, and when he offered her his arm as a slight guide, she took it and followed him over a small ways away from where everyone else more or less was.

She tilted her head to the side slightly as Zeke started explaining the situation. Her first thought was why was he mentioning this to her? Not to say that she wasn't too thrilled about him seemingly kind of flirting with a goddess (was she maybe a bit jealous or annoyed? Yup, she was, most definitely). Though the fact that he wanted to tell her before he seemed to think that Jason would did get her kind of thinking a little bit. "You know you dedn't really 'ave to tell me about it... if it was fahr a bet ahr sahmethin, den I believe you..." she said, though it was hard for her to hide that it kind of made her a little bit sad. "It's fine, dahn't wahrry about it."

---

---

"I might take you up ahn dat, aside frahm o' course a standard sahrt o' sparrin match ahr sahmethin," he responded towards Kristin with a bit of a smile towards her. That would be fun and give him something to do other than the typical sort of things that seem to go on around the camp. Jason wasn't really one for hanging around at summer camps growing up, so for the most part he didn't really care too much for a lot of the simple activities around here like arts and crafts, the climbing wall could be fun at times though.

Listening to the others talk about the arts and crafts thing and all made him just sort of shrug and listen. Stella seemed to like this area, as she started talking a bit about her own parents who raised her. In the back of his mind it reminded him of how things used to be, before he and Janelle had lost their parents back home. At least they weren't around still to see what all was going on with the pair of them now he supposed. Actually now that he thought about it, he'd probably be asking his mom a lot of questions regarding how she ended up having kids with two different gods.

"Yeah, back before having to really worry about other things right? It's always fun to think about that right?" she said with a slight smile to Kristin as Stella started going on about her relationship with her parents and how they usually did things with flowers. The other thing that was sticking out to her about Stella was how talkative she could be, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Some people probably would get annoyed with her at this point, but honestly Mary was just happy that Stella seemed excited for everything that was going on around her.

With Kristin commenting about heading towards the stables now, Mary nodded her head a bit, "The stables are always a nice place to visit. Seeing the horses and the pegasi is always worth it... But glad to see you seem excited by everything Stella, I'm sure you'll fit right in and do just fine," she said with a smile to her. "And for the most part you can at least come over to this area during your free time if you want to," she added, knowing that there was some things in a schedule, but wasn't too much of one.

---

---

"Oh, no. Thank you though. Unless you know who gave us the gifts." Andy hoped maybe Persephone did. She didn't like accepting gifts without any idea who had given them to her. There was probably some sort of expected response. She'd have to ask Leda later. She knew Leda would know.

She took Arthur's hand again. "Do you want to practice with the marbles?" She asked him. Andy liked practicing fighting. They'd have to go somewhere without a lot of people. The arena would work honestly, as long as no one else was there. She didn't want to risk hitting someone with the lighting.



"She didn't hurt me." Niah said looking at her friends. "I need something from both of you right now. Step over here with me." She didn't want Leandra to hear what she had to say. She needed this to be a private moment. Once away from Leandra.

"Swear to me that you are not possessed." She said in a low steady tone. If they could swear that then she could trust them. It wasn't guaranteed to make her power work, but it would give her an idea. Part of her feared that maybe it was herself that had been possessed and had no clue. Could that happen? She didn't know spirits well enough. They really needed to talk to one of the kids whose parent that was the domain of.

---

---

---

---

"Yeah, my dads are super nice, and I love them both so much. You said I can contact them later, correct? I think I will." Stella smiled a bit at that as she relaxed and looked at the little arts and craft cabin. Her mind was already buzzing with a few different ideas of things she could make and that she might even try to send back to her dads later. She was glad that everyone was seeming to react to her well, she knew she could be talkative and too curious, but so far no one had shut down her questions, or even told her to calm down.

"Oh, I would love to go over to the stables and look at the horses then! As for my schedule, I will be happy to get one from Chiron. And really? I can come over during free time? Awesome, I would love that!" Stella seemed to beam a bit more at that point as she was looking forward to seeing the horses and the pegasai. She couldn't believe that that this was still all real, and soon she would be seeing flying horses. So she turned around and let Kristin, Marygold and Jason lead the way once again at that point. Her day was only improving at that point, from being attacked to now having met more of her half-siblings and finding out about her mother.

It was around nine fifteen in the evening, now the rest of the day was pretty much uneventful, Persephone left shortly after meeting with Chiron, and Mr. D finally showed up around two hours ago. Though with the whole situation between the gods wasn't any better than the last few days ago. Both Annabelle and Lauryn had approached Demi around dinner time to hand him back the two projects that he wanted the two of them to do.

Mr. D didn't really bring up his visit to Olympus, only Chiron really knew through him on what was going on up there, the Greeks were finishing up the last few songs of the night for their nightly sing along Chiron had extended that time for the Roman's to finish their senate meeting. There were going to be a few announcements as well to that evening, word around camp quickly spread that there were three quests that had been issued by Rosie, and Alexandra also had witnessed the same prophecies as well to. The Romans were requested to join as well to, but the Senate was currently in session to figure out what they wanted to do with Leandra as well as their little Eidolon problem.

---

---

---

Kristin was sitting with some of the others mainly next to her half sister Alannah, she had gotten her arm fixed up by Bryan, she leaned back slightly as she listened to the Apollo kids playing and singing. She usually did find it rather relaxing and ocasionally did sing along as well. Kristin took a moment and looked around before spotting Stella, the had finished the tour around dinner time, she managed to get a schedule for the camp, and made her way over towards her.

"Hey there Stella, how are you finding everything alright?" She asked giving her a smile as she handed Stella the copy of the camp's schedule for the younger demi god. She had gone back after doing the tour to help out with the next capture the flag game, with Alannah she looked towards the center of the arena where Chiron was talking to Mr. D and Rosie as well to.

---

Kiera was sitting next to her girlfriend, looking at her for a moment and smiled towards her, she had decided to go ahead and pay for their quest. Being the only child of Poseidon she would be one of the ones to go on this quest, she knew that Leda was going as well, playing the prophecy in her head more than once. She was still a little bit nervous and wasnt sure what to do exactly other than leaving for New Rome back in the summer Kiera hadn't left the safety of camp since she had gotten there.

"So do you want to sleep in my cabin tonight?" Kiera asked looking over at Leda and gave her a slight smile, she wouldn't mind the company either really. But if she wanted to sleep in her own cabin with her half siblings she was just as fine with that as well to, Kiera turned her attention towards the Apollo kids who were still playing. She was curious what the Romans were doing right now as well and what they were talking about in their senate meeting.

---

---

---

Madalyne sat in the center of the Senate tent that they had for their meetings, though it was a lot more smaller than the one that they had in New Rome. It was enough for them to conduct their business Madalyne swore to Niah earlier that she had not been possessed at all, she took a moment and looked down at the desk with her notes in hand on what they were going to talk about. Alexandra had the same prophecy that their Greek counterpart had, as well as the notes she had taken earlier about the Eidolons being somewhere in camp didn't bode well with her either. They were all asked to attend the Greek's meeting once they finished their little singalong.

They also had their Leandra problem they would have to put up a vote on what they wanted to do with her, the senators and the members of the Legion were now slowly starting to gather into the room. Madalyne played with the four little boxes in her pocket that she had the time to make the gifts for Nancy, Arthur, Niah and Andy. She knew that she would end up in the Pit during this quest but she wasn't sure if they would work or not though. She did look rather tired as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, and was a little bit more than a bit stressed out about everything, but hadn't addressed the Senate yet a lot was on her mind right now.

Normally the camp sing-along songs were rather vexing for Zeke but right now he was appreciating the numbing effect it was having on his mind. All he had to do was play a few chords on the guitar and tap his foot. The other’s did the over the top moves and signing. The younger kids usually loved it while the older one’s kind of mingled around like they were.
From time to time Zeke’s eyes would wander to find Janelle. He had gotten to talk with her earlier but there was a sadness to her voice at hearing about the bet. He had tried to inform her that it didn’t mean anything but Zeke knew that it was just the act of doing it that hurt her and that angered him. He was mad at himself but he also wanted to be mad at her. She shouldn’t really be all that upset. It wasn’t like they were dating. And that was when Zeke felt sad because it was all on him.
There had been rumors going around about the new prophecies and they would be discussed after the Roman’s had their own meeting. Zeke wondered if that was why two Gods had been at camp today. The trio were fighting again, not all that much of a surprise but the rest of the world was paying for it. Again, not a surprise. So, that too, was pissing Zeke off. Really, it just wasn’t a good day to have the insecure mind of a sixteen-year-old boy.
On the upside, Zeke’s guitar skills were on point. Each time he moved his fingers to a new chord, it rang out in perfect tune and flowed like sirens were singing. Too bad he was playing just a simple camp song and was in a crap mood.

---

Demetri stood by, leaning against a nearby tree as he watched everyone singing along and playing. Usually he would've joined in, but tonight he only cared about one thing, and he was sitting there with a guitar and an expressionless look on his face. Zeke wasn't one for playing at the campfires, but tonight seemed different and Demi could quite tell why. After he'd gotten the two items back from Annabelle and Lauryn, he began to try and work up the courage to be a bit more public than what he'd usually been. Sure it'd still be under a guise but, even that could be dangerous. After some time Demi finally propped himself off of the tree and began to make his way towards Zeke.

He used the wild flames that had seemingly come out of nowhere to hide his presence while the others were distracted by them. Slinking over next to Zeke and pulling out the Celestial bronze eye. "Hey, mind if we talk? It'll get you away from guitar duty but you'll end up in the infirmary instead if you say yes. Soooo." Demi rolled the enchant orb between his fingers, almost as if to tempt Zeke to say yes. He worried that he would say no, wishing to spend more time with Janelle, but she had her turn today and now they sat apart from each other. Besides, Demi had questions he was hoping to get answers to.

---

---

---

Cassian sat across from Zeke and Janelle, essentially forming a triangle as looked towards one of the few campers that actually treated him as if he was normal, and Zeke whom Cass hadn't quite put his finger on yet. Rumors had it he was an ass, and he had already had his fair share of those in camp. But he could see some sort of conflict inside of Zeke. His glance turned to look towards Janelles' direction then back. What could he have spoken to her about? Did they have a fight? Or was it a bad prank done to her? No, whatever he did, he already seemed to be paying for it.

So Cassian paid it no mind. Instead deciding to join in the fun and pull out his panflute, pressing the cold metal against his lips and closing his eyes as he heard the campers sing and the Apollo kids play their guitars. He found the beat to pick up on and began to add in. Cass could feel the heat of the flames flicker and dance in front of him. Opening his eyes in hopes of seeing a large colorful flame with the joy of the camp, but instead he saw wild flames that threatened those around. His eyes shot wide in disbelief before finally changing his tune in an attempt to calm the flames. He watched as the started to die down, returning to their usual flare before Cassian put his panflute to his hip and stood up. How could he ever think a child of chaos and madness would be able to fit in with the others? Of course the fire would react that way. His lower lip quivered before he headed off towards his cabin, away from the others.

Arthur nodded at Andy. He supposed he should learn how to actually use these things before he had to use them against monsters. He didn't want to hurt Andy, but he was pretty sure he could find a tree to lob them at, or, if things came down to it, he could try to summon something to attack, but he really didn't want to have to do that. Between reanimating the dragon at the roman camp, and trying to bring his sister back, it really seemed like he didn't have a good track record with that power. He didn't want to think of it as defacto evil, but it was hard not to at this point.

"Yeah, let's go do that." He agreed, stuffing the bag of marbles back in his pocket, and starting off in the direction of the Arena, not at all minding getting away from the Goddess. As time passed, Andy and Arthur practiced with the marbles for the rest of the afternoon, and he was honestly just to spend the rest of his time with her. He didn't know if they'd both make it back or not, but he had to assume that they would. They had to; he refused to go on without her. As they waited after training, Arthur was quiet, just enjoying her presence while he could.

"Only if your smelly socks have been cleaned," Leda teased, sticking her tongue out at her girlfriend. She did love the sing alongs around the campfire they had at night. The smell of fire and smoke in the air, with the way some of the sparks would soar through the sky - it made her heart sing. It made her want to toss pinecones into the flames to hear them pop. Her favorite nights were when everyone sang so loud that the fire grew exponentially in size and intensity, becoming a roaring representation of demigods at their happiest. However, the flames weren't dancing like that tonight - instead they went up in a frightened almost scared blaze and Leda rose an eyebrow.

"That's new," she mused. She hadn't seen that happen before. She didn't see who had caused it, so she figured that everyone was a bit on edge from the Triple Prophecies. Usually one prophecy was already enough to set everyone up and make them jumpy. Three was basically more than enough to give the camp a collective nervous breakdown.

---

---

Nancy also had sworn to Niah earlier in the day that she wasn't possessed, before adding the addendum 'as far as I know' just in case she was possessed somehow. She didn't want the River Styx goddess to curse her for all eternity for lying when she didn't even know she was lying. She had enough problems to deal with. Case in point, they had to handle the Leandra of it all. They had to discuss everything with the Senate, the prophecies, Leandra's possession, all of it. She bit her lip slightly, noticing how tired and worn out Madalyne looked as the senators and whatnot trickled into the small tent that was becoming rapidly cramped.

Once everyone was inside, Nancy stood up from her seat in the center next to Mads. She figured she'd get things going and let Mads jump in when she felt ready, if at all. That was one of the nice things about having two praetors - when one of them wasn't up to something, the other could pick up the slack. Mads was going to have to go off on a quest, whereas Nancy was to remain with the Legion. "Hey all, I'm not going to lie and say this isn't some grody ass news that we're about to give you. We're going to go through all of this methodically. On the agenda is deciding what to do about Leandra, the Eidolons, and the newest prophecies." Nancy glanced briefly at Mads. "Let's start with Leandra. She stole the gem that Niah, Mads, and I had recovered from the dragon. She was possessed by a spirit. However... Let's be honest, she doesn't exactly have a rad reputation these days for being good to New Rome. She's a vindictive megabitch. If it were up to me, I'd exile her to an island... But that's probably not one of the options we get to vote on." Nancy sighed slightly.

---

---

Janelle still sort of wanted to talk to Zeke a bit more, but after their initial conversation there really hadn't been much of a good time to do it. Now they were at the campfire, and she remained off to the side for the most part, though her brother had found her and was sitting by her. She didn't know where Zeke was or anything like that, unless someone actually told her where he was, and it did make her wonder what he was doing or what was going through his head. Then again, he probably was over playing his guitar for the sing along, she just wasn't entirely sure.

She heard some sort of commotion over by the fire or something. The heat had grown a bit higher for some strange reason, before it died back down again to what it had been before. "What 'appened Jason?" she asked her brother, a bit confused as to everything. Sometimes it wasn't the best to not be able to see, since if something happened that was more visually based and didn't really have much audio cues, she had to rely on others telling her what happened.

---

Jason had a feeling that odds were that Zeke likely spoke to his sister about the incident or whatever that had happened involving Persephone. She was being relatively quiet when he found her at the fire later and took a spot next to her wondering what all was going through her head. He watched as the fire suddenly flared up for some strange reason (he wasn't entirely sure who caused it or what happened) however he did hear his sister's question about what happened, and he leaned over to tell her, "Sahmeone ahr sahmethin caused de fire to flare up, it's back to nahrmal now."

Janelle mainly just nodded her head in response to this, and he definitely knew that something was up, so he switched languages. "Janelle, tá a fhios agam nach bhfuil tú ag déanamh ceart go leor. Doirteadh mar sin, cad atá cearr?"

"Is breá liom Jason i ndáiríre, ná bíodh imní ort faoi."

"Cad a dúirt Zeke leat faoi na rudaí a tharla? Janelle is fearr nár ghortaigh sé tú."

"Ná bíodh imní ort, níor tharla aon rud, ní raibh againn ach comhrá."

"Ceart go leor, cuir in iúl dom má theastaíonn uait mé an fear nó an rud a phuncháil," he continued, causing Janelle to just laugh a little bit.

Mary was glad that Stella seemed to be enjoying herself at the camp overall. which was great. Later that night though, she sought out Stella again to make sure that she was doing alright and all, and took a spot near her as Kristin had already walked up to her and all., handing her the schedule. Things seemed to be going alright for her, which was great and all, so that was nice. The camp sing along seemed to be going well and all, when the fire seemed to almost jump up and kind of get a bit scary and all with it. Only for a moment though.

"Wonder what's going on with that..." she mused, before glancing around to see if she could find out what happened, and caught a glimpse of Cass leaving the area. It probably had been an accident or something and that was why he was heading off since he felt bad, that being if it wasn't just a coincidence and that he had been responsible. She thought nothing of it anymore though, turning her attention back to what all was going on, and wanting to hear Stella's answer to Kristin's question, and once the Romans all showed up, how all of that business was going to go.

Andy was hyped up from the practice and spending time with Arthur. When they got to the Arena she sat next to him. It had become a habit to hold his hand. It felt right and she knew their time together was short. She hated that they would be parted soon. It made her want to run away again. Just her and Arthur running away from all of the gods and monsters stuff.

She tried to put herself into enjoying the Campfire, she normally had enjoyed it. But it felt like it might be the last one she'd ever go to. It would be the last one with her Aunt alive probably. She was deep in thought and singing along mechanically when the fire roared up. She yelped surprised being pulled from her thoughts and looked around trying to see what caused it.

"That was weird. Wonder what caused that." She said to Arthur.



Niah had been relieved that Nancy and Mads had sworn that they were (to their knowledge) not possessed. She couldn't handle the idea of having one of her best friends being the enemy. Everything was falling apart. These were the last days they'd have together. Before the Senate meeting, she had cried alone for a moment. She had to be strong for the others so she didn't let them see. But it was enough. She could keep a cool attitude at the Senate meeting now.

"As much as many of us would love to banish Leandra we know she was in the prophecy. I'd much rather keep her under the watch of people than let her out into the world and have her show up and the worst moment. We don't know how compromised she is." Niah chewed on her lip thinking. "I could bind her into an Oath, but that may not even be enough."

Stella had been thankful for the tour she had been given that day, and had even enjoyed a rather nice dinner. She had been surprised that they could even do tonkatsu, but she had needed a lovely taste of home after the long week she had had before. She did make sure to offer some up to her mother, thanking her for her blessing, and for giving her such an amazing other family. She had followed Marygold to the arena, where they had set up a bonfire, and sat down next to her. She waved over to Kristin when she came over and she happily took the piece of paper with the camp schedule on it.

"Hello again! I'm finding everything well, thank you so much. And thank you for the schedule." Stella grinned a bit at that as she relaxed a bit more at that point. She did notice the fire get a bit out of control for a moment, and she did pale a bit at that and she bodily turned away from the fire and tugged her hood up over her head until she was sure that it was under control. Ever since she had been a little girl she had hated fires, and well this was one of her worst fears.

"Is it safe? Is it over?" She whimpered out from under her hood, waiting for the confirmation that it was under control again.

Kristin jumped slightly seeing the flames suddenly rising before they quickly died out, and went back to normal as Kristin watched and noticed Cassian leaving the Arena area for some reason. Before her attention quickly turned towards Stella and smiled towards her and nodded, gently ruffling Stella's head. "It's gone now don't worry." Kristin said trying to reassure her, she turned to look at Marygold and gave a slight shrug she wasn't sure what caused the camp fire to suddenly flare up that way, nearly catching a few banners nearby on fire, if that happened it wouldn't really turn out to well. "No problem at all Stella, if you need anything just ask Mary here to." Kristin said towards Stella, turning to shrug at Mary the fire flaring up like that was really weird to her. She spotted Jason and Janelle waving the two of them over and smiled, towards the two of them.

As Cassian was walking away from the others and over towards the Dionysus cabin, he would start to feel a very cold and chilling presence near him and he would start to hear several voices around him saying things, the voices sounded very hollow and even scary at times. 'They don't trust you' 'No one in the camp likes you.' 'Maybe you should teach everyone a lesson in madness and cause a lot of chaos'. 'Maybe you should show them the true definition of insanity. The voices around Cassian started to get louder and louder, in the corner of his eye he could see something smoky flying by and the sounds of laughter surrounded Cassian before everything went eerily quiet. He'd be able to spot Annabelle just coming out of the Hecate Cabin holding what looked like a spell book. "Is everything alright?" Annabelle asked as she approached Cassian.

"Hey my socks aren't that stinky! Besides you probably like it since you are still around me." Kiera said with a laugh and nudged her girlfriend slightly, she did clean her clothes all her own luckily there was a washer and dryer that all the campers used to do their laundry. She noticed that the flames started to go really crazy, and then they quickly died off which she thought was really weird turning to face Leda.

"Are there like fire spirits or something that may have caused that?" Kiera asked Leda, she thought that the camp fire doing that was really weird to her. She wondered how long it was actually going to take for the Roman's to actually finish their thing and they can start talking about the quests. Luckily she had the stuff that they would need to go out on this quest as well to so they were somewhat prepared for the Quest.

Madalyne shook her head slightly as she heard Nancy speaking up, looking over towards her friend and sighed slightly, she was glad that Nancy and Niah decided to break the ice first for the meeting. She was a little bit to stressed at the moment, before she took a few deep breathes and slowly stood up. She had spent sometime by herself just to try and collect her thoughts as well as work on the project she had for herself and her friends. Madalyne slowly stood up from her seat and looked towards Niah and Nancy, she couldn't have picked better friends as she thought about what to do with Leandra. She hated Leandra and wanted to have her get some sort of punishment to being an ass to her and Nancy and Niah coming up with a potential idea that could work.

"I propose a vote then to strip of Leandra of her current rank, and Senate position and for her demotion down to Probatio status until further notice." Madalyne suggested looking over towards Niah and Nancy to see if either of them would agree to her suggestion, Leandra wouldn't have access to the Legions full resources right now or any sort of access to information on the Legion's status and they would still be able to have a closer eye on her at all times.

Ezekiel was zoning in and out as he played, that was until the flames from the fire went crazy and Demetri sat beside him. Ezekiel frowned, looking from the son of Zeus to the flames and then Cassian who had joined in on playing when the flames went crazy. Ezekiel rolled his eyes, watching the flames return to normal before Cassian left. Some people just tried way to hard to fit in. Ezekiel looked at Demetri when he offered to get him away from this place. He looked towards where Janelle and Jason were sitting. She was smiling and laughing as her and her brother shared a moment. He sighed, wishing he could have been the one making her laugh.
”We shouldn’t wander far, not when they are supposed to be announcing the prophecies,” Zeke noted. He stopped playing his guitar though for the moment and looked at the eye in Demetri’s hand. Zeke was mildly tempted to throw it and see how far he could get it to go.

Arthur scooted back a little, surprised at the burst of flame. There were a few things that could have caused that, he supposed, most of them mundane, but with their luck, it probably wasn't. His hand rested comfortably on Andy's, ready to run or fight if the flames turned into some kind of hellish fire monster. Of course, such a direct assault on a camp full of the gods' children would have to be incredibly poorly conceived; he didn't know exactly how to quantify the power of demigods, but it felt akin to anybody rolling up to a military base and expecting the ensuing fight to go well.

"Don't know, let's keep our eyes out, yeah?" Emotions had to be running pretty high by now, especially with the looming prophecy and dread hanging over the camp. Nobody seemed to really know what was going on with the Big Three right now, and the weather was acting up in ways that climate change just didn't account for. There was something waiting to happen, and he was sure that he wasn't the only person to see it, or at least, he hoped that, with the little experience he had, he wasn't the only one capable of understanding that something was going to go down sooner or later.
