Lara let out a bit of an involuntary cry at that point as she saw the arrow hit Arnora in the shoulder, and then watched as Arnora fell to the ground. She knelt down next to her and she moved to help Nadia with the healing. In her panic, she did almost forget all her training as a nurse for a moment, as this was her friend. Someone she cared deeply for, and it had been a while. However, she did take a moment to collect herself and she started to help Nadia with Arnora.

"Intruder!" Astrid grasped at her spear and went to toss it at the figure, though it was after she made the first throw that she realized that she was throwing at an invisible target, so the spear hit the wooden floor of the hotel, leaving a dent into the already banged up floor. She hefted herself forward and snatched up her spear as she looked around, trying to see if there was any way that she could target the invisible foe that they were following.

She made a second toss at the direction of a sound, and once again the spear missed and left another gouge into the wooden floor. Astrid mentally cursed at that and then dashed forward to snatch up her spear once more. She then looked around and noticed that Dalisy had focused in on the elevator area. She knew Dalisy had some kind of special sense, having just seen it in use in the office. Astrid narrowed her eyes, and aimed for the third time. She did a mental prayer to both of her patron gods as she threw the spear for a third time. This time she watched as the spear seemed to sink into a figure, and she grinned to herself. Third time really was the charm it seemed.

Back in the office, Lara was tearing apart part of her shirt at that point to make strips of bandages if Nadia needed them. She really did not like what was happening, between seeing Loki's symbol, as well as the invisible figure that had just attacked Arnora. She also was wondering where the figure had been hiding before they had attacked Arnora. They had fired an arrow in a small environment, which was odd. They either had been desperate or very skilled.

Stella did smile a bit as two kids around her age, or so she guessed, walked up and she waved to them both. "Heya, as Kristin said, I'm Stella. Nice to meetcha." Stella looked between them both and paused as she realized that between all of them, no one had told her the name of those two, so she just looked awkward for a moment. She did hear the boy address Persephone as step-mom so she gathered that he was a son of Hades. She turned to look to Marygold and Kristin again as they spoke and she smiled a bit as they did inform her that while this was a special camp it did have most of the things a normal summer camp had. She had been to a summer camp a few years ago, and all she really remembered of it was that there were horses and arts and crafts.

"I'd like to see the arts and crafts cabin when everyone else is ready to head that way, but I think Miss Persephone still wanted to do the tour with us, so should we wait? Also I had another question. You said this place had most of the like traditional summer camp things, right? Does that mean there are horses here? Can I see them if we do?" Her eyes went a bit wide at the idea of being able to ride horses again.

She did look over to the other two kids again, and then shuffled a bit. She wanted to ask them their names but they were a little busy, so she waited to hear back from the teens.

Lara was thankful that whatever Runa had done had worked, and when Nadia said it was charmspeak it made sense to her. "Thank you Runa." She offered the other woman a small smile as they headed into the office and started to look around at the room. She knew that Dalisy would probably see more than they could with her vision, so she mostly looked around to see if there was anything too obvious that it wouldn't make sense for Dalisy to focus in on it. That was when she saw it, that symbol, and she felt the color drain from her face. She walked over to the desk and inspected it more and frowned when her suspicions were confirmed.

"Well done Runa, thank you so much." Astrid smiled as she looked over at Runa, and followed them into the office and looked around. There was much out of place, but that did make sense, as this was an active murder investigation scene. She did pause when Dalisy told them not to walk around, so she froze behind the rest of the group. She felt like she was a bit useless at that point, as her skills were better put when it came to combat and sensing those that were about to die around them. There was death hanging over this room, or at least that was how it felt to her.

"Guys, I have a bad feeling about all this, especially since it looks like this might be due to Loki's influence. Not sure if it is him directly, or one of his tricks but, he's left a mark." Lara gestured to the corner of the desk where the symbol was carved into it. She didn't dare touch it, who knew what kind of magic was radiating from that one little symbol. Loki's infamy was well known to everyone there, and his magic was not to be messed with.

Astrid frowned as Lara pointed out the symbol of the corner of the desk, and she scrunched up her nose. "Well if it is him, that might explain why Helgi and everyone else isn't coming back. Though it could be someone framing him... I don't know. Though, it would be easy to pin the blame on him." Astrid knew that Loki was an obvious first choice, especially with his symbol right there. However, she didn't want to form a conclusion just yet.

Stella was surprised that Persephone had been so kind in turning him down, as well as the fact that the ground had not opened up and swallowed up Zeke for even trying to ask the goddess. She watched as Zeke walked off to another person and then she turned back to the little group she was with. "Yes, I was expecting like something to happen when he asked you out. Like... the ground ripping apart." She paused as she looked up at Persephone and then smiled a bit. It did make sense, as the goddess did give out some rather gentle vibes, despite also being the Queen of the Underworld.

"Well, I've seen the cabin, the strawberry fields, the arena and now the climbing wall. I've also been to the Big House and the dining pavilion... so I guess what I would like to see is somewhere where the campers and go do like crafting things, if that is something we can do here?" Stella had a feeling that there was some place like that since they were mostly kids. She had noticed that the oldest person she had met, besides the gods and Chiron, looked to be in their late teens. There were no real adults there, and with what she had been told that made sense.

Also, she wanted to see somewhere she could do art with her flowers possibly, just like her otou-san.

"I'm Astrid, pleasure to meet you Dalisy." Astrid could tell there was some kind of tension at the table when Dalisy came over and joined them, but she wasn't about to turn down more help. "We don't have to go to the captain, sorry I brought it up. I'm use to having to ask about roaming around this place." She could tell that no one was a fan of the idea of getting the captain of the Valkyries involved, and she didn't blame them. It had mostly just popped into her mind because she didn't think that it would be that easy for them to get into Helgi's office.

Lara got up with the rest of them and headed to Helgi's office where they ran across their first problem, which was a pretty big problem, in the form of Dalisy's father, Heimdal. It made sense in her mind that he would be the one to look over the office with his sight. She had to wonder if her own dad was around, maybe helping out. He was a god of Law afterall, though she wasn't sure if she could lie to him if he was there.

"It is as she said, Lord Heimdal, we are looking for Hunding's thing to give to him." Astrid was use to lying in a very awful way, but being a human Valkyrie meant that she lied to her parents on the daily. Even now they thought she was at an after school program that would be going over night, which wasn't too far from the truth, but at the same time it was. She just had to hope that the god would believe them, but Heimdal was not someone anyone lied to easily. It would be worse if it was Lara's father, Lord Tyr.

Lara decided that she was going to keep her mouth shut and let the others talk to the god. She wasn't terrible at lying, but she figured it would be easier if only a few of them spoke, to keep the lie from getting too big or muddled. She turned her brain over to what they were there to do, which was the case of Helgi's murder. A terrible crime had occurred and her sense of justice, to bring this killer to light was starting to burn deep within herself. Her mind did jump to Hunding, but she quickly turned away from that. Yes, the to had been rivals in life, but they worked together for the sake of the hotel. It also wouldn't explain why Helgi or any of the others were not coming back. That had to take some serious magic.

Stella was still beaming happily as she followed Kristin and the rest of the group to the climbing wall. She had seen a few like them before, but nothing like this. For one, all the climbing walls she had seen in California did not move like that, or have lava at all. Stella was not a huge fan of lava, which did make sense now that she thought about it. Lava lead to burning and fires, and those burnt down forests on their path to finding their way down whatever mountain they were erupting from. "I might wait until I'm a bit more recovered before I try out the climbing wall, but it does look like it could be fun, with first aid around."

Stella paused a bit as one of the boys from the arena caught up with them. Zeke was it? She wasn't sure if that was his name, as she had only heard it briefly at the arena. She did have to blink at his actions and she just stared a bit at that point, as if waiting for Hades himself to appear in the camp and smite the young boy for his actions. "Uh... did you really just do that?" She couldn't believe that this guy was doing this.

She looked up at Kristin as she waited for her older goddess half-sister to reply. "So, where are we going next?"

Lara hadn't meant to accidentally bind Dalisy to her words, but a promise had been made and she had auto reacted to it. She could see everyone looking at her oddly after she had spoken and she blushed a bit. "I'm in as well. I'm a fan of trying to solve a good puzzle or mystery, and this seems to be quite the mystery." She was glad that Nadia had suggested that they investigate what was going on, as that had been something she had been thinking of. It would take her mind off the whole 'being killed would result in no resurrection for now' bit that was going on.

"Of course, I will lend my aid when asked for. For now, I will go with the group I said I would help. I will make sure to report if I learn anything, and as well before I go off shift." Astrid was quite happy to know that she was able to help out her friends, and to be able to stick with them. "I have nothing else for the moment. I will see you later. Astrid nodded to her captain before leaving the table and heading over to the small group again and sat down with them.

"Helgi's office does seem to be the logical place to start, since it seemed to start with his death first. Though, do we have access to it?" Lara wasn't sure that they could access the office, as they were normally not allowed to go in there, but they did have Valkyrie helping them out, so did that mean they had access? She didn't want to assume anything, but she wondered how they could even start investigating it. She doubted that even the bodies of those that had been found dead were kept somewhere anyone could look them over easily.

"I could probably help get us into Helgi's office, but I might have to ask my captain again about that. Do we know about where any of the other killings happened, or were those just on the practice fields before someone realized that no one was coming back?" Astrid knew little of the details of what had happened with any of the other deaths, just that Helgi had been clearly murdered, and now no one was coming back.

Stella couldn't help but blush brighter at the goddess bent over to ruffle her hair a bit like they really were siblings, like they had grown up together. It seemed that the little redhead was too stunned to really say anything at the moment, which was rather unusual for her. Her mind was racing with a ton of questions, but she still couldn't find the words to speak. She could only really squeak and nod and affirmation when the goddess asked if she could tag along on their tour. She did hear the part about the goddess wanting to talk to Chiron, and that made some sense to Stella. From what she had gathered, gods and goddesses didn't really visit the camp without a good reason.

She was thankful that Kristin, Marygold and Jason had all assured the goddess that she could tag along, as the little redhead was still finding her words. "It would be an honor to go on a tour of the camp with you!" She was still blushing deeply as she spoke, and then looked to the others. "So, where are we going to next on our tour? I've seen the cabins and the arena... so what's next?" She wasn't sure why she was getting repetitive with her words, but she chalked it up to being around her really beautiful older sisters.

Lara could feel the familiar tingle of an oath being made in her presence, and she sat up and her eyes lit up for a moment. "The Oath is heard and bound." Even if Dalisy had not meant it to be a binding oath, Lara had heard it and now it was bound. It had been some time since she had even used that skill, since most people didn't make promises around her after learning quickly that they would be held. She did make a silent promise to herself, that since Dalisy was going to be on her good behavior she would be as well. Not that she ever wasn't. She knew that her and Dalisy would never be best friends no matter what Lara did, and she would never know why. However, for the time, she would accept Dalisy's promise.

Astrid was surprised that the captain of the Valkyries had not come over and told her to get back to serving. She wouldn't argue with the fact that she was being allowed to sit with her friends. "It you want, I can help you stay protected while I'm on shift. I can go talk with my captain and get that cleared if you would like?" She didn't want to intrude where she was not wanted, but she wasn't going to argue if they asked for her assistance. Maybe being around some of the Einherjar would keep her calm and focused on her duties.

"I would not be opposed to having Astrid help us out. Again the more people, the better." Lara smiled a bit over to Astrid, as she knew that the Valkyrie was more than capable. She had grown fond of her after their mission together, and she did make sure to say hi and chat with her when the Valkyrie was in the hotel. She looked at the little group that they had gotten together, and she smiled a bit. She had a good feeling about the group, even about Dalisy.

Astrid smiled a bit at that. "If no one opposes, I will go let my captain know what is going on, and then I'll return." She stood up at that point and she went to find her captain. Once she did she made sure to get her attention. "Captain, there is a small group of Einherjar that I would like to protect when I am on duty, is that alright with you?" She didn't want to get in trouble with her captain, or any of the gods there.

Stella blinked a bit at the sight of the flowers blooming around the arena and for a moment she thought it was her own fault, until she saw the woman sitting in the stands. She had a familiar feeling from her, especially as the flowers blossomed all around the arena. Then Marygold spoke up identifying the woman. Persephone, the goddess of the Underworld, and through their mother, that was her oldest half-sister. "Wow... Today must be busy... but she's beautiful." Stella spoke before she realized that the words had come out of her mouth, right in front of the goddess. She blushed so deeply that she could feel the heat seeping into her ears.

"Oh, um, hello. I'm Stella, and I'm guessing your little sister. One of them." Stella waved to the goddess, unsure what else to say. The truth was that she had a lot she wanted to ask but she couldn't really find the right words. She was just impressed by the sight of the goddess, especially since if she remembered right, she should be in the Underworld with her husband. So the fact she was there was either a very good thing or a very bad thing.

She stepped up towards the seats, hoping that maybe she could get a better look at her. She had respect for her, as she knew that they were siblings.
