Bio

Do not go gentle into that good night
By: Dylan Thomas


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Ryland "Ry" Astrapí || Camp Half-Blood - Dining Hall



Ryland raised an eyebrow simply at Brynn's explanation of everything before smiling. "I don't even know why I am surprised Marco was involved if it involves beauty or fashion. But hey, you're rocking it pretty well." He said with a grin as he let go of her after having scared her pretty damn well by the looks of it. Then the girl popped him with another question that made his brow furrow. He didn't really want to do any training or capture the flag today. Rather, he had things on his mind that needed to be cleared up before he could even consider doing something just because it was fun. Yet, he couldn't let any weakness show. Others depended on him, and he couldn't let them see that he was anything except confident. With that in mind, the boy gave an easygoing smile towards Brynn. "If you wanna lose before the CTF game, sure. But yeah Brynn, I'll spar with you." He said, just hoping she hadn't noticed that brief moment his mask had broken.

Before he could say anything else, Ryland yelped slightly as he was knocked off his feet and taken to the ground by a tackle at the waist. Before he could really get mad or respond, however, he recognized the voice calling his name and gave her a brief hug in return as he started getting to his feet. Ash. The little demigod who had become his little sister, he most certainly knew he couldn't let the mask slip around her. The poor girl idolized him and he only wished he could be half the hero she thought him to be. Although on the flip side, Ryland knew other than Ericka that Ash was the most likely to see through his mask of calm with little issue. Still, he had to try for her sake. "Hey Ash, surprised to see you up this early." He joked, knowing that the girl very much liked to sleep in and stay up ungodly late every night. Though his stomach growling soon interrupted Ryland, declaring loudly to those around him that he was rather anticipating breakfast. "I uh... should go get food." The boy said with an embarrassed look and dismissed himself to get something to eat.

Ryland “Ry” Astrapí



Before they left, Ryland ducked inside the dining pavilion to grab a chocolate-chip muffin and wrap it up as a peace offering in case he did have to wake up Rosie. The last thing he wanted was his best friend at camp to turn on him and suddenly try to prank him at every corner. He doubted that he would survive very long at camp without massive humiliation at that point, Rosie was certainly a smart one. Once the sacrifice was obtained, he turned towards Kiera and gestured for her to follow him. Leading her through the camp and past all the cabins, he made a direct line for the rather imposing forest towards the rear of the camp. The Oracle's cave was hidden out here, not terribly deep into the forest but enough to be peaceful and secluded at times if need be. For that, he was jealous. People kept slamming into his cabin nearly all the time and gave him no privacy half the days he was at camp. Alas, that is the fate of a child of one of the Big Three.

"Trust me on this, we will be safe in this part of the camp's forest." He said calmly to Kiera, trying to give her a reassuring smile as he led her all the way to a cave in a small cliff. The entrance was flanked on each side by a magical torch, with a curtain over the entrance that somehow seemed to create a perfect seal. Once again, magic. Without even a moment of hesitation, Ryland walked forward to the cave and through the curtain. "Rosie? You awake? I brought somebody you need to meet, and a chocolate chip muffin so you better be awake!" He called with a playful grin on his features as he held the curtain open for Kiera to come join him.
Ryland "Ry" Astrapí || Camp Half-Blood - Dining Hall



Ryland's mood had improved very little from the meeting with the Oracle and Kiera. Though he stayed behind to chat briefly with Rosie after Kiera left. Now heading towards the Dining Pavilion, Ryland wasn't sure he was really ready to face the other campers quite yet. That being said, his stomach was certainly winning the battle of wills with the grumbling it was constantly giving him as he made his way over. The blonde boy forced his facial expression to appear relaxed and normal for himself. Although those close to him would surely notice how he still seemed a bit tense as he walked. Outside the building he noticed Ericka and gave her a small wave, not giving too much by way of a greeting as he was certain she would likely already be able to tell how he was really feeling. Ericka was smart like that. Heading inside, he knew the real test would be occurring. More than likely Ryland would be running into quite a few friends in here, and he didn't want them to worry. So the casual mask of usual he wore had to be stronger than ever.

Although that thought was quickly wiped from his mind as he saw something that completely caught him off-guard. Bronwyn was sitting at her table eating, nothing special there, except that her hair was completely blonde as opposed to the darker colors of before. He had to admit that he was rather fond of her darker hair, but still, the girl looked rather attractive anyways. Deciding that despite his mood he still needed to talk to his friend, Ryland made a direct line over towards their table. Although he kept a careful watch on the other girl present, Zoey, as he half-expected her to jump up and suddenly dropkick him through the floor as per her usual manner. Once he got close, he decided to scare Brynn and suddenly hugged her from behind before letting go. Aiming to make the girl jump from his sudden appearance. "Brynn? When did you dye your hair? I almost didn't recognize you for a second!" He said with a light laugh before continuing. "It looks good though, just caught me off guard." He finished, wearing an easygoing smile on his face.

Fumiko "Kuīn" Nakamura



Hearing the suggestions for where they were going to eat, Fumiko had to think to herself for a brief moment. "Chinese sounds alright, although they're like, absolutely inferior to japanese cuisine just sayin'" She said with a giggle before skipping to follow along after the two with the bag held over her shoulder as they moved back towards Riley's car. They reached the car easy enough and thankfully without paparazzi incidents, which made Fumiko wonder if her security team was just absolutely on top of keeping them away or if she was just plain lucky today. She was willing to bet on the security team more than anything else.

As she was going to get into the car, Fumiko's phone chimed twice. Looking down at the device clad in an adorable little stitch (from the disney movie) case, the girl grumbled and rolled her eyes. "Well. My costume designer for the movie just quit on us. So we are on hold until we can find somebody Marvel likes for superhero costumes. You two know anybody I can recommend?" She asked with a pleasant smile, hoping that her friends just might be able to help her out.
Ryland "Ry" Astrapí | Kiera Donovan | Camp Half-Blood - Oracle's Cave


A collab between Nallore and Jasonhero




Ryland didn't really speak as he led Kiera through the camp and forest towards the Oracle's cave. Only once they were clear of the other campers by a decent margin did he even dare to speak. Looking back towards Kiera after they had been walking in silence for a bit, that tortured look still in his eye. "I-I'll explain more once we see Rosie. But I had a dream. I think... I think those strange giants that killed Sasha are somehow related to the prophecy." Was all the Son of Zeus explained to the girl.

Soon enough they arrived at the cave, Ryland leading the way in and immediately grabbing a chair to sit near Rosie. The look on his face alone being one she was already quite familiar with. Afterall, he saw her every morning and he was haunted quite often by that dream. Although he barely ever brought anybody else with him to see her. "Rosie. We need to talk, the three of us. It's about the great prophecy. I'm... worried about it to say the least."

Kiera looked at Ryland for a moment as he finally answered her question she bit her bottom lip and nodded a bit, she remembered that very well it was one of her first quests at Camp Half-Blood. "I remember that very well." Kiera said as she followed him inside of the cave and took a seat as well on one of the couches looking between the two of them.

Rosie looked up to see Kiera and Ryland entering her own little slice of paradise and quickly went to shut off her music and stood up looking at Ryland seeing the look in his eyes knowing it all to well. "Whats wrong?" She asked, as she walked over towards a small sink and started to wash her hands off of the pain and turned to look at him. "Is it one of those demigod dreams you all always end up getting?" Rosie asked as she went back and sat down across from Ryland.

"Yes. But this one was... different. In my dreams we were going into the battle against those giants like usual. But then everything... stopped. I saw a massive eagle, like dad's symbol, and other animals lying on the ground beaten. Then this massive green snake appeared, it... impaled me with one of its teeth right here." He explained, lifting his shirt to touch exactly where the pain had been through his side. Though of course no damage could be seen on his skin as he looked back towards the Oracle. "As it got ready for another attack, time unfroze, and I could swear the giant that killed Sasha looked at the snake like it wanted permission. Then it attacked me as she died and I woke up. The serpent was green as well." He explained quietly, looking down at the floor for a few moments.

"If those animals did represent the Gods being brought to their knees, then I think the serpent might be our girl in green. Do either of you have any idea what that could be? Worse, if the giant did look towards her then perhaps that also means they were under her influence." Ryland said quietly, worrying that the two girls would think him insane.

Kiera sat there looking over at Ryland as he started to explain his dream, and leaned forward a little bit as she eyed him as he recalled the dream. The whole prophecy thing didn't sound very good at all which was disturbing as well, if it all did end up becoming true, as she rubbed the back of her neck a little bit. "Maybe it's like a basilisk kind of creature or medusa?" Kiera asked looking at Ryland, she wasn't the one to witness the dream herself.

"The whole prophecy thing still confuses me a bit, but it could really mean anything maybe someone who dislikes the gods, or one of their own?" Rosie said as she got up and gently patted Ryland on the shoulder. "I can start hitting the books, but i'm thinking it might be a medusa, but I really am unsure."

Ryland shook his head in response to the two girls thinking about what he might have seen in his dream. "I'm not too sure it would be Medusa. She's not really known for commanding other monsters, you know? She's usually isolated or shouting at her sisters. But that giant, I know for a fact it responded it to the snake. Moreso, Medusa doesn't really have the power to take on the Gods. Not by a long shot, she's a simple monster. If Percy Jackson could beat her, I much doubt that she would be an issue for any of the Gods." He explained, shaking his head in response to it all once more. "Perhaps we should look into what Gods or beings might be affiliated with snakes."

"I can look into all that stuff if you'd like." Rosie said looking at Ryland and gave him a friendly smile, as she started to make her way towards a small fridge and pulled up a soda. "Want something to drink?" Rosie asked both Kiera and Ryland, as she started to open one up. Kiera looked at Ryland for a moment and gave him a slight nudge. "Is there anything else in the dream you can think of?" Kiera asked him and gave a slight nod towards Rosie, as she tossed one towards her.
Fumiko "Kuīn" Nakamura



Fumiko during the brief exchange between the two had slipped back into the changing room to change into the cute outfit she had chosen to match Riley. After a bit of inspecting herself in the mirror, she decided that she did, in fact, look suitably cute. Changing back into her previous attire, Fumiko popped back out to greet the two girls waiting. "Oh. Honey, no. I'm buying for everybody. Its a thank you gift for letting me stay with you guys while I am in town instead of in some hotel where I'm gonna be stalked by Paparazzi all the time." She explained with a pleasant smile, then started making her way over to pay for the outfits without really waiting to hear any objections to her plan.

Not long after having paid, she turned back towards her two friends as she thought about Riley's previous suggestion. Lunch. Lunch sounded absolutely wonderful. Fumiko didn't want to admit to it, but her stomach was starting to growl a bit at the offer of getting food. Thinking on it for a few more moments she nodded. "Sounds great, Riles. But I still wanna go dancing or to the bar tonight with you two! Girls night!" She declared happily, not even thinking for a moment that there could possibly be any objections to her absolutely wonderful plan for the night.
Ryland "Ry" Astrapí || Camp Half-Blood - Beach



Ryland stared at the ground blankly for a long few moments as if lost in thought, trying to shake the vicious voices from the back of his mind. Yet he couldn't. The screaming, it simply wouldn't go away. The endless loop becoming a long drone that was almost his constant companion on days such as this one. He hated every second that it spoke in his head, both wanting to forget about the horrid memories and to remember so he never made the same mistake again. At first, he didn't even hear Kiera speaking, only catching the second as she asked where he wanted to speak. Letting out a long sigh, he shook his head as he didn't like where they needed to go. Sharing those events with another person wasn't something terribly high on his favorite thing to do list.

Looking towards Kiera once more, it would be plainly obvious the pain he was barely managing to hide behind his facade. "Neither, Kiera. We need to go talk with Rosie, I... I'd rather wait until we were on our way to explain it if you don't mind." He said, his voice wavering slightly as he spoke before forcing himself to pause for a few moments to gather his composure once more. Seeming to be more in control of his demeanor, he gestured towards the direction of the Oracle's cave in the forest. "It might be related to our quest and the prophecy." He confessed, and with that, the two began to head out towards the Oracle.





Unknown || Sanctuary




Amid a long stretch of mountains, everything in nature seemed to stand eerily still. As if everything in the world was holding its breath in anticipation of what may come in the next few moments. Snow-capped mountains that each had a sea of green at their base from the massive forests that surrounding these beautiful mountains. Coupled with the lovely blues of crystal-clear waters that flowed down from the melting snows into a large lake in the valley below. Truly, something out of an artist's painting or a photograph one might see on a postcard advertising nature tours or the like. A landscape captured perfectly at a moment in time and seemed perfectly content to hold onto this moment for as long as it could. Of course, none of this actually mattered to the hungry eagle soaring gently on the winds overhead in its desperate search for food. Movement far below, imperceptible to any eye except for that of the mighty eagle. Taking it as a bid for a tasty rat, the bird tucked its wings and ripped through the air at breakneck speeds. Plummeting like a rock to find that tasty little morsel of prey that would feed it for the day as it flew on to find a new home.

Yet the bird suddenly stopped its fall and came to land on a branch in the forest. Its head curiously tilted around as its nose was filled with the tantalizing scent of meat. Although these scents seemed to smell sour judging by the bird's unwillingness to move from its perch and instead look around the area. The movement it had seen? A half-eaten corpse of a rabbit rolling down the gentle incline. Now that it was sitting on this branch, the bird of prey was bombarded by the scent of rotting meat floating in the air. It squaked harshly at the scent and took off to find food elsewhere, yet never even made it off its perch. A slab of wood flattened the creature against the tree that paid host to it. The large wooden club belonging to a bumbling creature that looked like a man except much, much larger. With rotting, yellowed teeth and a single eye in the middle of his forehead, it was clear this creature did not belong to the mortal world. With a deep, booming laugh that crossed the mountains, the Cyclops held up the corpse of the bird. "We'se gots a good snack for mama!" It called out to the other walking alongside it with another bellowing laugh. Together the two turned to cross the forest floor ridden with corpses of various animals, and even signs of humans in some places. The grass stained red in some areas, which others bore signs of a struggle. Crossing this land they joined up with one of the two distinct convoys of creatures on the move. Broken shields and sword lay impaled in trees and the ground, a testament that a struggle had occurred here not too far in the past. The column that the two Cyclops joined left this forest and turned south, clearly with an intended target in that direction while the other turned northward.

Both columns of horrific creatures that would drive a mere mortal insane led up the mountains to a single opening large enough to fit a warship. From here they left, and within even more of the horrors milled around. An array of slithering, hissing, and other monstrous noises made it a dull roar inside this cave. Yet the middle edge of the cliff, overlooking the entire mountain range was left completely alone. As if the beasts knew better than to stray towards it. From the back of the cave, an eerie green light accompanied by the pained, weak wails of a dying man was barely recognizable. Yet up front in the empty area, two figures stood in front of a stone throne sitting on a carpeted and otherwise well-furnished square. One barely recognizable thanks to the shadows hiding most of their figure. The other, a woman wearing a full body covering with the headpiece occasionally shifting as a rather... scaly head poked out from under. She also wore sunglasses, as if nothing of her body was permitted in the open. "Preparationssss are complete." The covered one hissed as she tucked a scaly body back under the cloth. "We will be lying in wait." She finished before bowing her head and taking a step back. The shadow covered figure leaned forward slightly, making only her deep green lips visible in the light as they twisted into a smile. Then those lips moved to speak in a voice laden with honey and venom, elegance and power.

"So our little game begins."
Fumiko "Kuīn" Nakamura



Fumiko stood there inspecting the bright purple dress that was handed to her by Riley. It was certainly her style, though maybe fit more for a club in Fumi's mind. No shoulders, instead being held up by clear straps. Form-fitting the whole way down, it stopped midway down her thigh. Fumiko whistled as she figured she would look absolutely smoking in the dress. Maybe she'd have to pick this as well as the matching outfits for her and Riley. Not long after she was looking at the dress, Riley stepped out and asked how she looked. The off the shoulder top still managed to cling to her form, the little skirt stopped short of her knees and flowed slightly. Overall she looked very cute, but Fumiko had a few thoughts on the outfit. Stepping forward, she pulled the bottom of the skirt slightly to straighten it. "Maybe if we gave you a little belt to go with it... boots perhaps as well? Likely taller ones or some simple converse or the likes." She said mumbling to herself as she fussed over the small outfit. "Also we need a different top for ya, Riles. Lower cut, show off these beauties!" She said before quickly groping her friend with a deviant smile. Before Riley could react, Fumiko dashed into one of the changing rooms with a small giggle.

Deciding she would try on the dress from Riley first, Fumiko hung up her outfit and held the dress against her body to admire in the mirror. "Yeah, should work." she muttered to herself. Before she put on the dress whoever, Fumiko made sure to snap two pictures of herself undressed to tease Riley with later. Not long after, the door to the changing room would open and the popstar would step out. The purple dress fit her form well enough to show off the rather curved and toned body she had. As well as the bright purple bringing out a slight glow to the girl. Also, as Riley was well aware at this point, it was pretty much her favorite color. She gave an elegant twirl and stopped with a hand on her hip as she flashed a smile at the two. "So, how do I look?" She asked with that bright smile still gracing her lips.
Ryland “Ry” Astrapí



Ryland also ate by himself at the table for Zeus kids, not something that was terribly surprising to him. If he had any siblings, Hera might've actually lost her mind and blown up Olympus at this point. Out of the corner of his eye, he could clearly see Kiera eating on her own. He was tempted to go join her, but knew that would spawn an endless amount of rumors almost instantly and that wasn't something Ryland was overly eager to subject Kiera to. Once he finished up, he made his way outside to lean just to the right of the door until Kiera came out to meet up with him. At which point he would step out and wave at her slightly to come join him.

"Ready to go, Kiera? Rosie will likely be awake by now. If she's not then... well then I get to prank her and frankly there is no downside to this." He said with a slight grin to try to keep a light mood in the morning. It was peaceful enough, although Ryland wasn't sure how long that would last through the day. He could feel a bit of a sense that it would rain later that day, call it inuition of the Son of a Storm God. He just hoped it would stay dry while he was teaching later that day, he didn't want to see a bunch of kids slipping and falling because the concrete wet.
Fumiko "Kuīn" Nakamura



Fumiko seemed pretty pleased with herself as she made her way around the store, looking through various cute outfits and mixing and matching to decide what was cute. Though of course, she felt the need to bother Riley and Amelia while shopping. Her first victim being none other than Riley. Sneaking up behind her friend, Fumiko suddenly hopped into her view and held up two outfits. One darker colored and seemed like it would match well with Riley while they other was lighter colored and matched for Fumiko. Both consisted of off the shoulder tops and skirts that stopped above the knee. Each seemed like it would hug their form tightly, and Fumi had a bright grin on. "Try it Riles! You would look super cute and we would match! Though we could also put in a few tears and such to the top if you want or something..." She said as she started to brainstorm ways to make Riley look even cuter. "Try it on! I know you'll like it comeon!" She demanded, holding up the outfit with a slight beg in her eyes.

Then Fumiko made her way off to find Amelia, looking over at what she was choosing. "That looks super cute!" She said, before going off and suggesting some other stuff to add on to help make the outfit cute. "You should try it on! If Riley tries on the outfit I chose for her and I try this on, we might look super cute together. Then I would have to buy the outfits and we could all look super adorable tonight. Comeon~" She said happily, hoping her friends would indulge her for a bit.
