[IC] Camp Half-Blood

"Shit just got real." Shæ laughed to herself.

[Clev]

"Aww, now you made Mr. Dino mad." Vic grins. "Tell ya what, unlike these nuts, my ability hates me. So I would get all mad... But a map can't hurt you.'"

Vic's thoughts were different. He was a Zorya. The one that tortured that hound...

Dionysus stood. "If you ever interrupt me again I willbeat you senseless with a bottle of wine from my collection. Now I ask you to leave before I throw this vase at you." Dionysus said ans he picked up a vase.

Seth refrained from doing anything showy towards Dionysus. Even though the guy wasn't really his favorite god, he did know to respect him and speak to him reverently. Seth did a small bow to the wine god before he raised his hand in neutrality.

"I will leave soon, I simply ask you all hear me out. I don't mean any harm, I'm only here to offer them something to help them..."

Val snorted. "Last time i heard that a demon damn near killed me." Val let blue flames run up and down her torso.

[KiraTheRogue]

"Well lets hear it Zorya." Dionysus said.

Josie couldn't help but listen as the door was open. "What the hell is going on in there. I might go check it out." She walked towards the main cabin and entered. "Is everything alright?" Josie asked.

[SrslyAnArtist]

"Depends on whether everyone keeps on eaves dropping." Val growled, flames burning hotter. "Hijo de puta!" Sh spat at Seth.

Seth ignored Val and her Spanish insults and simply nodded at Dionysus before stretching his hand outwards towards the group. Magic energy began swirling around the spot in front of them, glowing brighter and more condensed until it solidified. The result was a crimson colored, "three headed" crystal that still glowed with power.

"This is what I have to offer," he said as he let it float in the air. "A small crystal construct, but a useful one nonetheless. Since I doubt any of you have reliable ways to track the magic energy the Fleece gives off, the crystal will do that job for you and act as a compass to it."

Seth's gaze darkened a bit as he allowed the crystal to release some of the dark magic contained within. It lapped up a lick of Val's bodily flames, intensifying it greatly before Seth "shut it off".

"Since you're not me, you can't fully manipulate the magic within it. However, shattering it will release the power and cause notable devastation to anything unlucky enough to be in its way. Useful for a dreadful situation, but the crystal will obviously be gone after that."

Seth brought the crystal closee to himself and traced a finger along its edges.

"Some of you here do use a form of magic," the demigod began to say as he looked towards Val. "Because of that, it is possible that you will be able to tap into the magic to a greater degree if you're smart enough to know how to do so. It will empower you temporarily, but I must warn you... my magic is dark, and the side effects can be... dangerous, shall we say..."

Micheal walked up to the crystal and put picked it up feeling the its energy. The rush he got was one of blood lust, he blinked and every face in front of him twisted and distorted and he felt as though all of them must be destroyed. A tiny female voice in the back of his head piped up Dont let this control you love, dont give up. Just like that everything was clear again and back in order. He felt the darkness in the crystal and almost hated it, to him it him it looked like a double edged sword and the last thing he wanted to do was trust it. "I won't condone this being brought with us." He looked at Seth with a straight face. "And if one of us were to drop your little artifact how would that pan out? Would it send us skyward?" Michael put the crystal back on the in front of Seth.

Val shivered. Thecway the crystal stole her fire...It unnerved her. She shivered and made her flames burn warmer. Val retreated into a dark corner, illuminating the shadows behind her. She was careful not to touch the wood. She shut her fire off only to have her eyes glow out from the darkness, making her look a bit creepy.

Shæ sighed. "Enough showing off Seth. It earns you no favors." She stoked her black pegasus lovingly. Ace nickered and nuzzled her han affectionately. Shæ gathered up thecwater that was currently in the air and flicked Seth in the face with it, laughing at the look on his face.

"If you did happen to drop it accidentally, it is highly unlikely it'd explode and reduce you all to ashes," Seth said as he held the crystal in one hand. They weren't really all too fond of his little creation, but Seth expected that really. Other than the fact he himself was giving it to them, they were already becoming wary of its darker effects when trying to directly use its power.

"Like it or not, so far it's the only thing you have to point you in the direction of the Golden Fleece. I don't recommend you taking some ridiculous 'noble' decision in leaving it behind, because the longer that Fleece stays off the Camp's borders, the weaker its boundaries will get. Do you really want to put the other demigods here closer to danger because of one arrogant decision?"

The demigod internally smiled at the way Valen had reacted when his creation had lapped up part of her flames. He always liked it when people who were high up on their horse felt fear at the simplest of his actions. It... entertained him somehow, even if he didn't mean any real harm by it. That's when Shae tried to show off by splashing him with water droplets, but Seth merely moved out of the way and let it fall upon some wooden furniture.

"Water tends to damage wood, Shaelyn," Seth said simply. "Do try to control yourself next time, I doubt your allies will appreciate such childish antics during such a serious quest."

Seth sighed. He sometimes wondered why he bothered trying to help people like them at all, even if he was trying to benefit himself along the way.

"Anyway, that's what I had to say. Now make your choices, because those monsters are just waiting for the chance to cross our already weakening boundaries. Don't fear the crystal's power, use it wisely, and you'll find it'll serve you well..."

[Clev]

"Going with trusting him." Vic groaned. She knew the argument was close to it's end, thus, she wouldn't be able to laugh at them anymore. "Pain is a good thing. Most of the time. He's a Cat, okay? His specialty is magic."

[SrslyAnArtist]

Shæ rolled her eyes. "You like getting high on scaring at other people dont you? Whatever Seth. We all know that. The sooner you leave, the sooner we get the fleece back. Savvy?"

Val glared, emerald eyes burning. She wish she could melt a hole in him. She stepped out and crossed her arms. "Hijo de puta. Don't mess with my fire or you'll find youself in nothing but your birthday suit." Val had often found that public humiliation was a better weapon than physical warnings.

[kagethekiller]

Michael looked at Seth and saw a child trying to get out of trouble "Wouldn't this be better left here if its really that strong? We know where the Fleece is, it would have been better for you to beg on your knees to come along than to have thrown a flashy trinket our way." Michael hated arrogant people who decided to take the easy route to everything, he looked at the people around him "Before we leave we will take a vote, weather to take your device or not. I certainly wont run and tell you if the device was used or not, and i wont come and gloat if its in the garbage.

OOC: Also Michael didnt draw directly from the crystal he simple attempted to examine its life force, what he felt influenced his emotions.

[Krein]

"Hmph, I know you may like to make suggestions of humiliation to try and build up your poor ego, but get serious again here. I know you know where the Fleece is located, but you really only have a general idea. Lord Hades' realm is enormous, do you really think you'll be able to find it quick enough before our camp is overrun by ravenous monsters?"

Seth laughed a little as he produced more copies of the crystal before them, showing that the camp wouldn't really be at a loss if they took the one crystal he had offered to them along. The copies soon dissipated, leaving the first crystal Seth had made floating in the air.

"Using it or not is not my problem, I'm simply offering you an extra but useful tool for your journey."

[kagethekiller]

Michael wasn't appreciating how he was being addressed "I'm not an idiot you stuck up brat, someone in this camp let those hell hounds in an you expect us just to willy nilly except on of your crystals like nothing?" Michael wasn't liking this and he was getting extremely angry, he had never been one to even mention an ego, and it pissed him off this kid thought he knew anything about him.

[Krein]

"Given the circumstances, yes," Seth responded calmly with a miniature smirk. "I didn't come here to argue with any of you. Like you just said, Michael, someone let those hellhounds in, and it resulted in the wounding of several of my half siblings!"

He had said the last bit angrily, obviously not pleased that some of them had come out injured from the attack.

"And yet you're still here wasting time arguing whether or not you're going to accept a means to aid yourselves on this quest. Now make your choice already."

[kagethekiller]

"Get the fuck out of here" He said this promptly with no emotion in his voice. "I don't remember you being invited to this meeting and you've stated your case" Michael walked over and grabbed the crystal out of the air, and placed it on the table in front of everyone and waited for him to leave.

[Clev]

Vic gave a nervous laugh. "Okay then, Mics. Just one question: if we decide on using it, I don't remember him giving us instructions..."

[kagethekiller]

"That would have been a good way to start the conversation, so then Seth what does it do?" He said asking Seth, Vic had a voice in this and he wouldn't undermine that but he hated having to listen to another word out this guys mouth.

[Krein]

Seth ignored Michael for the time being, as the demigod was really starting to get on his nerves. Most of them were really, and had it not been for the fact they were all about to go on a quest, he'd probably have subjected them all to a few nasty curses and nightmarish hallucinations.

"The guiding part will work on its own. You're tracking a powerful magical artifact, so it shouldn't be hard to notice the crystal acting up and 'pulling' in the Fleece's direction. If you really need to, then purposefully and forcefully smashing the crystal against the ground will cause the destructive wave I mentioned earlier. And yes, you'll have enough time to get out of its way before it does its work."
