(Arsenio)

Strolling down in Times Square, New York, surrounded by the city lights at night Arsenio looked for a book store to check out. He was looking for the oldest, and the creepiest, as generally those had the good spells and potions. He had been doing research after discovering that he was magic, and going from bookstore to bookstore, found that some of the books he could find were actually not that far off from being true spells. Along with the spells and recipes he made himself, keeping in a book he called the "book of shadows," he also would take notes of new additions he found whenever he found a legitimate book with magic contents.

"This just in, the Greco-Hunters have just caught a Minotaur and slain it." A newswoman in a large screen at the top of a building near Arsenio bellowed. "Sources say it was in the fields a few miles outside of Long Island, and the Greco-Hunters chased it down and killed it. We have exclusive footage of the incident." The screen then displayed many hunters driving and chasing down the Minotaur, trying to shoot it with celestial bronze bullets and eventually throwing a net over  it, As one of the hunters unsheathed a large celestial bronze blade, Arsenio could have sworn he heard a whimper from the creature. With one swift swipe, the monster dissipated into dust, and the footage ended.

"There has also been reports of the existence of demi-gods, half human, half gods, and it seems the Greco-hunters are trying to formulate a way to screen for that in people, as they look just like you and me. But more on this story at 11." The newswoman said, as the screen began to show ads again.

Arsenio didn't know why, but he wasn't that surprised as everyone else around him to learn of the existence of supernatural creatures such as that one. It may have been the fact that he was supernatural himself. And this talk of "demigods," could this have a correlation with where he came from? He continued walking as he contemplated this, and began to wonder how he would go about finding the answers that have long been inside of him.

 

(Winter)

Winter sat on a bullet train in Japan, looking at a file of her new assignment.

"Jin Kaido, 13, mother died due to unexplained events, and Father is a Kaido, the wealthiest family in Japan. Wealth means they're under the spotlight a lot, that can't be good for hiding from monsters."

She looked at the people passing her compartment that she was staying in, and tried to look for a well educated Japanese citizen. Winter had not yet learned Japanese, and she was planning to absorb the language from someone magically through touch. She exited her compartment, and finally finding a Japanese business man, approached him and purposefully bumped into him hard.

"Watch where you're going!" The man said in Japanese.

"Sorry, my mistake." Winter replied in Japanese, having immediately learned it, and having no accent whatsoever.

She sat back in the room she was originally in, and opened her file again. She pulled out pictures of Jin, and began to memorize and study his look, for she was going to spend quite some time looking for him and recruiting him for Camp Halfblood. 

(I'll try to have Winter recruit Akito Sikota, that is, if Neokron doesn't try to get to him first, heh heh...)

 

(Eric)

Eric sat from a ledge on a tall building in New York late at night, close to the Empire State building.

"Look at Olympus, so within reach of the Greco-hunters, and the filthy mortals don't even know it. I feel disgraced to be half mortal myself." He sighed, kicking his legs in a swaying motion. "Although their actions of trying to deal with the Greek creatures and demi gods have worked to my liking, as they've generally only been capturing and slaying Camp Halfblood's lot."

He stood up and paced the roof he was on, back and forth and back and forth. "I've summoned my closest comrades, I do hope they received my message. We have work to do..."

Rosa followed the demigods, barking loudly as she bounded after Chiron while they all headed to Big House. Worried, Vladii ran after her friend calling after her,"Rosa! Sit! Stayyy!!!!" The hellhound as usual did not listen and kept after them, eventually catching up and trotting next to Chiron, giving him curious sniffs.

Alexander followed Chiron inside. "An evacuation? We might be easy targets here, but at least our numbers would allow us to fight back easier. If we evacuated, we'd be endangering not only ourselves, but innocent mortals as well! Besides, where would we go?" Alexander was curious as to Chiron's plans. The fate of the whole camp depended on Chiron, after all.

Iris' quick temper instantly came to light as she snapped at Owain. "WHO YOU CALLING TWEETY YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING-"Iris yelled as Fantasia quickly covered Iris' mouth as she muffled profanity towards Owain. "Calm down Iris,lets just head into the main cabin now..."Fantasia said as she and Iris followed Chiron and the others into the main cabin. Iris glared at Owain the entire way as Fantasia smiled. They entered the cabin and Fantasia turned her attention to Chiron. "Considering evacuation of the camp is a serious matter,are things really getting that bad?"Fantasia asked. Iris then decided to concentrate on the important matter at hand,a slight glare in her eyes. "Well the demi-gods' protection is a big priorety,especially now with both mortals and these people against us,what were they called again,Neokrons I beilieve?"Iris asked. Fantasia seemed to pur out of habit as she sat down on a chair. "Well even if evacuation would be a plan,and the demi-gods were to be sent back to their parents,wouldn't they be in somewhat more danger alone than all together where they can fight?"Fantasia asked. "Yet they could also try to blend in with society,not like they're gonna torture every teen out there to see if he or she is a demi-god,will they?"Iris asked with a slight gulp.

(Chiron)

Chiron shook his head.

"We can't send them home, that would only put more people in danger."

He poured some coffee, then waved his hands over the coffee display, signaling that it was ok for the people that followed him into the Big House that it was ok to help themselves.

"I haven't disclosed this information to anyone yet, but I might as well, you guys are going to find out anyways." He took a breath and continued. "Daedalus' labyrinth, it's back. We don't know how, the labyrinth is supposed to be tied to his life force, and he died a while ago. But it seems that it's back, and if it comes down to it, we will have to hide the campers in there."

Rosa trotted into the Big House, following behind the other demigods and stayed by the porch as Vladii caught up who patted her on the head while entering in time to hear the last words of Chiron's sentence. Her brows rose up a little in surprise but she stayed back a little leaning against the wall with arms crossed, deciding to just watch as the newcomers joined in the conversation.

"They say that it's impossible to navigate Daedalus' Labyrinth though, right? I'd heard the last few campers that went through there barely made it through... And the guy before them went insane! How exactly are we going to get through?" Alexander was confused. He wasn't sure how they'd navigate the Labyrinth  due to how dangerous it was. He was certain Chiron had an answer, but still, it couldn't be possible...

"No Chiron..." Kairi ahook her head.

"The labrynth is too dangerous. We can't..."

She looked at her shoes.

"Maybe my dad...or my mom..."

Chiron sighed. "It's only as a last resort, we will do our best here first, and hopefully it won't come to that. As for how to navigate through the labyrinth, there are three ways that we know of. One way is through Ariadne's string, which as to the location we have no idea. Another idea is using a mortal who can see through the mist, which in this case, is every mortal in the world right now. However we'd have to deal with revealing to them who we are, and hope they don't turn us in to the Greco-Hunters. And a final option is to use a scrying crystal. But those can only be used by a child of Hecate, and there has never been one to enter Camp Halfblood yet, even though we have a cabin open to them."

Chiron shrugged, drinking his coffee. "Again, it's a last resort option, I never said it was a final option. But with the way things are turning out, last resorts might be our only ones."

"We...could reside on Olympus...the gods know they need us heroes, right? So we need such a place..."

Kairi looked to the sea. "Or my dad..."

She looked back to the floor. "I feel useless." She said quietly, as if to explain why she's talking at all.

"Three different options, all of which seem impossible..." Alexander sighed, trying to think up a plan. "The easiest way would be finding a mortal to guide us, but as you said, that's dangerous. We could try and find Ariadne's string, but there are too many threats out there... And unless a son of Hecate shows up, that last option won't do us any good..." He turned to Kairi after she spoke. "The gods might not welcome us into Olympus, we can't tell for sure. Also, there could be an issue with transporting the whole camp to your dad's palace. I get the idea he wouldn't be very happy with having children of Athena hiding out there, either... The future's looking kinda dark, here..." Alexander suddenly had an idea. "Hey, what if we pay a visit to the oracle? She might have a prophecy or something, right?"

(Chiron)

Chiron stroked his beard. "Our oracle's host Rachel is at camp, but there's no telling whether the oracle will send her a vision or not, it only depends on if there truly is a prophecy to this. But it's certainly worth a shot."

He set his coffee onto a table and began to leave the big house.

"I bet she's training in the arena right now." He looked back at all those that followed him. "Well, if you're going to tag along I'd prefer you give Rachel her space, she isn't an 8th wonder, just an oracle." He joked, leaving the house.

Lyssa gave a strangled smile. "Well yeah... had to make sure no greco-hunters had found you yet. Anyway, let's get going. You cast some sorta spell to find the rest of the demigods right? Going there should be our first priority." She said, still whispering a little. She needed him to trust her. She hadn't yet gotten onto her, but at any point, he could catch on. Her heart was pumping rapidly. If he figured her out, and could cast a spell quicker than she could grab her weapon then bad things might happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Owain smiled slightly at the harpy's outburst of anger. He continued to follow everybody through to the Big House. Owain listened to the ongoing council of war, putting some thought on the matter. He wasn't the sharpest crayon in the knife drawer, but he had some bright ideas. At this point, a lightbulb went off. "Wait, why do we need anything? If the only reason we can't navigate the labyrinth is the mist, then why can't we navigate it? Now anyone can see through the mist, including us. So, peice of cake for any of us to go through?" Owain finished his theory, and waited for his idea to be shot down.

~~~~~~≈~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tharja made it to the alleyway next to Erin. "We shall." She said cockily. Tharja held her charm in her palm, and whispered a few words of greek. "Tachytita Theos" She immediately became speedier. "See ya there." She dashed down the street with remarkable speed, heading towards Akito's known place of residence.

"You know, that's a good point Owain... I'm not sure that anyone would be willing to give it a shot, though. It's still dangerous, right? I think I'm going to go with Chiron to see if we get any prophecies or anything, this is getting interesting." Alexander replied to Owain, then followed Chiron out the door.

(Chiron)

Chiron smiled at Owain's idea. "A valid point, Owain. However it must be a mortal that can see through the mist to guide us through the labyrinth, not someone like you or me. There's always that fine print that gets to us." He continued walking until he reached Rachel."Rachel dear, it seems we are in need of your oracle abilities." Chiron asked politely. "Do you think you could help us out?"Rachel threw a dagger and it hit the middle of a target a few hundred yards away, and she turned to Chiron."Sure, what kind of prophecy are you looking for?""One that can answer the question of what to do with the labyrinth. It came back." Chiron replied."Interesting... alright give me a minute." Rachel said, cracking her knuckles and closing her eyes. After much silence, she opened her eyes to reveal that her eyes were now glowing a dark green, and a green mist began to swirl around her. She recited the following:

"A child of Hecate is near all of you,

And one of Athena as well,

Though one may possibly betray you,

Be wary, or all that is mythical will quell"

She fell to the ground, but quickly got up and dusted herself off, as she was well adapted to the visions she received.Chiron turned to the others."Can one of you search for a halfblood a few miles outside our borders?" Chiron asked. "I have a feeling she was being literal about the child of Hecate being close."

(Arsenio)

Arsenio began to back away again."I don't think you've been entirely truthful... I can fix that." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue potion in a small vial. He tossed it at her feet and it cracked, smoke surrounding her."I just threw a truth potion I've been working on, it will give me three questions you have to answer without lying. First question, why were you following me?"

Since Vladii couldn't really come up with any ideas about the labyrinth she decided to leave as they all went to see Rachel. She wondered why Rosa would take her to see the other demigods. She should know Hades's children weren't acknowledged. With a huff, Vladii shook her head at the flame-eyed hellhound,"Silly girl" and started walking away from the others with Rosa at her side, they can do without her.

Seeing that the hellhound girl was gone, Kairi looked around.

Spotting her in the distance, she knew she'd not make it by running.

 

Black wings unfurled from her small knapsack. She flappped them and soon was gliding over to Vladii, landing in front of them.

"Wh-where a-are you g-going?" She stuttered.

(I'm kinda confused on the story.....corrected me if i'm wrong...)

 

Jin arrived on Camp Halfblood after he get off from the taxi.It was sure is....misty,since it was covered by a mist."It's nice......it's like a suitable place for the Half-bloods...."Jin said as he then try to use his Shadow powers but not effective since there it was misty and night,all he can do to use his powers are in day."But then again,it's not suitable for my powers though.....but i think it should be fine..."Jin said as he then suddenly feel.....dangerous that will come to the camp."Is it me......or is the Camp are under in deep grave danger?"Jin said as he then worried about his feelings he get earlier...

Erin followed after Tharja at a jog. Tharja could get things started with Akito and Erin would be ready if things went wrong. She really hoped they would. A child of Athena would be a challenging foe to fight. And that wes the best kind.

"A quest? I'd be willing to go." Alexander offered. He hadn't been on a quest in a long time, and was excited for the new opportunity that had presented itself. "A few of us can go, right? It's dangerous to go out there alone, after all. The Greco-Hunters could still be in the area."

(Kyaa! I missed the start up for this... Er... Someone PM me when my mercenary work can be of use)

Matt and Halfar were in town in two different areas. Halfar was hiding in a nearby ally, so's not to be discovered, while Matt was wearing a cloak in the middle of a large crowd. The crowed was gathered to hear a Greco-Hunter commander rant about how mythical creatures were an abomination and a threat to humanity. The commander was also ranting about how the members of the Anti-Greco Hunter movement were traitors to humanity and were executed after arrest. This event was taking place Live throughout the city. "This tyranny, must end." said Matt. Matt then pulled out his bow and armed it, causing those around him to disperse and panic, it also caused the Greco-Hunter commander to stop speaking and look towards Matt. "Down With The Greco-Hunters!" shouted Matt as he fired his bow and the arrow hit its mark, killing the Greco-Hunter. As the crowd started fleeing in panic, Matt walked up to the dead Greco-Hunter. "Say hello to Hades for me." said Matt. In the confusion, Halfar ran up to Matt, and Matt hopped on his back. "Let's get out of here before more of them show up." said Matt. "You got it." said Halfar as he ran off.

(Kyaa! I missed the start up for this... Er... Someone PM me when my mercenary work can be of use)

(Right now Tharja and Erin are going to try and recruit Akito, so just make an intro paragraph then it'll be cool.)Lyssa swore under her breath and turned towards Arsenio. "I'm a greco-hunter, looking for the rest of you demigods." She hadn't expected the potion, but this wasn't the end of the world. She could still take down another demigod. Quickly and fluidly she grabbed her fighting sticks, and went in for a few strikes. One, arm. Two, stomach. Three, ankles. Four, head. Those four strikes normally incapacitated any opponent if they hit. Disarm, knock the breath out, sweep them off their feet, and finally a knock-out strike. Whther the attack's had the designated effect would be found out in a couple of minutes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Owain snapped his fingers in regret as Chiron ended up shooting down his idea. He continued to follow Chiron to Rachel, and after the prophecy, Alexander offered to go. Owain laughed quickly and threw his arm around Alexander. "That sounds like an excellent idea! We can get going now, head to New York. If he's near, that's the most likely place we could find him." Owain said boisterously.

Akito was walking down the street. Things had been quiet lately. He yearned for some action. Something his tactics could be used for. Something tenses inside him. He chuckled. "Looks like I'll get my entertainment yet!" He pulled out the small, dark cylinder from his pocket and tossed it spinning in the air. Once he caught it, it extended it into a staff. He slung it over his shoulder and went on his way with renewed vigor.

"Yeah, he's gotta be in New York! So, when do we start, Chiron?" Alexander asked Chiron, eager to begin this quest.

Seeing that the hellhound girl was gone, Kairi looked around.Spotting her in the distance, she knew she'd not make it by running.Black wings unfurled from her small knapsack. She flappped them and soon was gliding over to Vladii, landing in front of them."Wh-where a-are you g-going?" She stuttered.

With a low growl, Rosa automatically began snapping at Kairi, feeling that Vladii was threatened. Vladii, on the other hand, was quite impressed by the wings but her eyes widened when Rosa began attacking,"Ah! No, no. Bad Ro! Stop." Pulling her back by the scruff of her neck, Rosa began to calm down and sat looking up at Vladii with tail waging. Rolling her eyes, Vladii turned back to look at Kairi with a worried but confused expression,"Are you okay? Sorry if she hurt you...and um what do you mean? I'm going back to the forest?"
