[IC] Camp Halfblood: Return of Heroes (Revival of Jul's RP)

[SomeoneSomewere]

Adrian stumbled then fell to his knees. But he wasn't done. He said," at least I don't have to rely on purely magic to do anything." He spit blood at Seth and sneered," without your crystals, without your magic, you would be nothing! At least if I were to loose powers from my dad, at least I could still protect myself! I wouldn't be weak because everything I do isn't purely based on magic!" He wiped blood out of his eyes, blinking furiously. He struggled to get up, the pain beginning to really take its toll.

[Krein]

Seth struggled up from the ground, almost falling back down due to the tremors and pain kicking into action in his leg. He probably would have sent some magic surge at Adrian to knock him several feet away, but for some reason... he felt drained. The fight didn't last that long, nor did he exert himself that much, but he still felt as if he had at least to some degree. Odd...

"Adrian, if you lost your inherited powers you too would be nothing considering that's probably where ninety percent of your strength comes from."

[Kaithas]

IC: Brooke intensified the vibration. "You two morons are about to go on a quest. You have precisely thirty seconds to stop before I tell Chiron about this."

She looked at Jason for a second and shrugged, a bit preoccupied.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Adrian scowled, falling back to the ground. He spat more blood at Seth, ignoring the lacerations covering his body, even as blood drips from many places. "All the training I do to build up my strength and speed isn't just from my father you bloody idiot." He just then spared a glance towards Alexandra, wondering how she was, seeing how she had been quiet during this whole thing, not knowing she was suffering.

[Kaithas]

IC: Alexandra was still holding her stomach, Runeweaver nowhere to be seen. Ordinarily that much dark magic right on top of her would be bad, but with the magic forces around camp already weakened her system was having a hard time fighting it off.

And all the rage and darkness being thrown now wasn't helping.

"Guys... Please."

[smarty0114]

John was walking through camp, nose buried in a book about swordfighting when he heard the shouts. He ran towards them and saw a battle being waged and a girl, he thought her name was Alexandra, gripping her stomach as if she was in pain. He stood there watching in awe.

[Krein]

Seth panted as he stood up, feeling like his insides were actually burning. Normally he'd only feel this way when he had exerted a lot of powerful spells in one go, which made him seriously wonder what was going on. Had Alexandra cast some spell on him that would drain his magic pool more than usual? No... that can't be it, she couldn't even cast spells, at least not in the usual way. That's when Seth remembered Chiron's words about Hecate.

"If whatever happened to her affects magic items and barriers, how much more will it affect us?"

Hecate's fate entailed so many more things. The Mist itself might slowly begin to dissipate if the magic in the world was dwindling. Would that which Adrian said come to pass then? Would Seth lose his abilities and then be rendered useless? He did have some good combat and physical skills, how else would he fight with his crystal sword? Magic though was his main line of offense and defense.

"Damn... stupid mistake choosing today to fight Adrian. Looks like I might have to use magic a bit more sparingly," he thought.

Hopefully, Seth's natural magic pool would restore over time even if it was hindered. Maybe he could quicken the regeneration process with his own anger right now, that's usually what made his spells stronger anyway...

"None of this went as planned due to some external meddling," Seth told Adrian as he took a scornful look at Brooke.
"Even if you're bloodied and bruised at the moment, that wasn't your 'A-game'. Brooke is right though, we're about to go on a quest. We'll get the chance to settle this some other time. Until then, go tend to her," Seth finished as he pointed to Alexandra.

[smarty0114]

John internally sighs in relief, glad he didn't have to watch the fight continue and possibly turn fatal. He looks over at Alexandra wondering if she should be taken to Chiron.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Adrian took a deep breath at the sight and he immediately looked worried, ignoring his own wounds due to hers. He ignored Seth and made his way over the unsteady ground, staying on his knees. He was leaving a blood trail. He stood up slowly, wanting to try to comfort her but not get blood on her by hugging her. He murmured," sorry.."

[makarov]

Ian slowly stumbled out of his cabin the simple fact that it was even day time, cloudy or not hurting his eyes, "Thanks apollo..." His voice sounded a bit sarcastic as another thunderbolt shook camp. Ian stumbled like a drunk up the hill towards the dinning area when something caught his eye, He saw the tail end of a fight and a very wounded ares cabin leader Adrian stumble (almost as bad as Ian was stumbling now) over to Alexandra Seth looming some ways away, had Seth attacked Adrian...or even worse Alexandra? Ian found a good shadow and slowly melted down into it, a few seconds of shadow travel later he popped up inside the camp store, After filling a bag with medical supplies, Bandages, nectar, ambrosia, and a whole lot of antibiotic ointment he slowly sank back into the shadow and made his way to a shadow climbing out from directly under Brooke but paying her no mind as he stumbled drunkenly over to Adrian and Alexandra, "Here..." his voice was a bit quiet like he almost always was unless he was intensely pissed off which was most days, "I stole you some stuff...I'll pay it all back...i have some Drachmas i can use..." A dark cold stare from that side of his father...the nightmare side was cast at Seth, "While i don't agree with your foolishness...If you're wounded you can have some as well." He turned his head back to Adrian and Alexandra, "Consider it a gift...from a camper you won't be seeing again...I'm going to get a quest...I know we haven't been friends or anything...but I wanna be remembered...my cabin mates hardly know me...since they sleep all the time..." This last part was a bit quieter as he sounded a bit defeated, Having slept all day even through the storm that woke everyone up, he had missed the announcement and knew nothing of the quest, "You did well defending yourself Soldier..." Ian sat his bag down and started getting out all the medical stuff and laying it down. "Yeah...Here."

[Azariel]

Mal watched frozen as Seth and Adrian fought. He would have stepped in, as Brooke had, -he even had his own ideas about helping them have a go at one another by slamming their skulls together, as they seemed so intent on butting heads...- but two things he'd always known about his particular skill set. Magic and technology didn't mesh easily in the best of conditions, and with Hecate M.I.A., the best of conditions would be scarce to find, thus, he stayed out of it. The second thing he knew was that as great as he was with machines, he was clueless about people. which was probably why he only raised an eyebrow when the new kid, Jason or other, lifted up a sword that shot lightning, said it was a gift from his dad, but seemed genuinely surprised to learn Zeus was his patron deity. Mostly the kid seemed okay, though. Mal decided to give him an honest shot, part of which entailed forgiving little quirks.

Stepping forward to stand at Brooke's side, he muttered just loud enough for her to hear, "Great teamwork these two are exhibiting. Hecate may be screwed." He thought for a second. "Wait, Fighter, Black Mage, White Mage. Any body else picking up an 8-Bit Theatre joke or two from this quest line-up?"

[smarty0114]

John watched as a kid he had seen around camp started unloading a bag of medical supplies for the wounded fighters and Alexandra. John decided to pipe up then. "Should I go get Chiron or someone from the Apollo cabin?" he said, looking slightly worried. He suspected that Alexandra was suffering from another wound that medicine couldn't heal. Maybe something to do with the storm raging on.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Adrian shook his head and Ian's offering. Prideful as always. They weren't even that bad. Just a little painful. He growled," I'm fine." He folded his arms, sliding his sword into place. He watched Alexandra worriedly. Head cuts always bled more heavily, but he was fine. More annoying and painful then anything else. He said," Alexandra... what's wrong...?"

[smarty0114]

John rushed over to Adrian, and helped him up. "You definitely need help. Come on," John said as he lifted him to his feet and kept him standing. He then turned to Ian and Brooke. "Can you guys get Alexandra?"

[makarov]

Ian raised an eyebrow, "It takes less than an hour for a wound to become infected. Being stubborn isn't always for the best...In this case it could kill you...and maybe the nectar and ambrosia will help Alexandra..." Ian looked toward everyone, "Why was everyone gathered here anyway...whats going on?" Ian's shadow moved slowly on its own, showing ian's interest in all this. "Has something happened...it would explain this storm..." Ian took a breath, "Whats happened?"

[Krein]

"Hecate has gone missing apparently," Seth responded. "Or something has happened to her that has caused her attention and control over the magic and Mist in the world to wane."

[Azariel]

A thought occurred to Mal that was so distressing he voiced it right away. "And let's not forget that if there's an issue with the Mist, mortals might start seeing through it, and find that all those things that go bump in the night are actually there. Imagine the panic. How would the mortal governments respond? I mean," he paused to cough into his fist, and clap the head of Ares cabin on the back. "No pressure, guys. I'm sure you guys got this." He tried giving a hearty thumbs-up of encouragement, as if his ADHD-addled mind hadn't just jumped off the deep end into conspiracy-theory land. Besides, it's only paranoia if the things hunting you aren't -actually- real, right? Sometimes, he really hated technicalities.

[Kaithas]

IC: Alexandra winced. "I'll be fine, it's just the magic around here wasn't-I'll be fine now. Adrian, just... Just get some help. I don't want you to get sick."

IC: Brooke's harpoon disappeared and she leaned over next to Adrian, water flowing from her fingers and cleaning his wounds. "The Mist should hold for a while but you guys need to get moving. Get him some Ambrosia."

[JessieTargaryen]

"I'm gussesing you guys refers to the people on the quest?" Jason askes brooke, he seemed slightly distracted by the camp. His eyes darting all around and taking in the sights before locking back on to brooke, she seemed to be in charge around here so he figured she would know the most

[Krein]

"Any idea of where we should start then?" Seth asked Brooke.
