Amelia stilled as Wynn put his hand in hers. She didn't move for a moment before she gripped his hand tighter, tighter than she should've. She was holding on to him like he would keep her sanity together. His didn't get much of a reaction from her. Just a little twitch of the lips.
"I'm sure you're right. Are you sure you're feeling better. I don't want you to go only to pass out on me or something." She still had a grip on his hand as she slowly got to her feet. Everything was going to be alright. Chiron was going to tell them what to to do. Maybe they would be lucky and it would be a super easy quest. Though luck and demigods didn't really fit together.
"yes Amelia, I'm sure. I promise I won't pass out on you." He chuckled, smiling G her though he could still feel it in the back of his throat it wasn't as bad.
Maybe he should eat a few crackers…
Or maybe not.
He kept his hand in her hand, keeping a strong grip on her hand.
"let's go visit the best friend squad." He joked moving to walk with her.
(She-Ra flashbacks-)
Astrid had witnessed the whole Hercules thing, and being a little confused, decided to find the other campers who had seen it. After a bit of wandering around, she spotted two campers that she was sure had been there. "I can't believe I'm doing this," She muttered to herself as she started toward them. "Hey!" She called as she neared them, "You two saw the whole thing with the smoke right? What was that about?"
(THATS EXACTLY THE REFERENCE I WAS GOING FOR THANK YOU)
(Which two is she talking too)
She watched his expression change and flicker with emotions. She hugged onto him tightly as she was pulled close, she let go and pulled away from him.
"please..stay safe." She spoke, before reverting back to her lily pad. Though she would probably end up going back to him if he was gone too long.
He gave her a reassuring smile before heading to the mess hall. It was loud, and he had to pause for a moment to adjust to the sound. When he entered, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He spotted Dove, glad to see she was with Wendi again. But then he caught the look on her face, heard the whispers of the other campers. She caught sight of him and started toward him. They closed the gap between them and embraced.
"There you are!" Dove exclaimed, squeezing him tight.
Ash managed a chuckle, looking down on her. "Here I am. Did something happen?"
He could feel another headache coming on. She let out a shaky breath, her voice lowering. "Heracles showed up, gave us a quest…" she paused, swallowing. "His sons were stolen. I don't know if I can…"
"You were chosen for a quest?" His first instinct was to congratulate Dove, but she did look very anxious. It would explain the pain in his head. He pulled away slightly so he could take a hold of her hands.
"Hey." He looked into her eyes. "You can do this. You won't be alone, right?"
She shook her head. "But I don't want to hurt them…"
Amelia sighed and nodded in defeat. Fine, she would let them both head over to the Big House but she would keep an eye on Wynn. She had a suspicion he wasn't telling the whole truth. "Alright, alright, we cab go catch up with the others."
Her attention was pulled away though as a girl approached them, yelling. Amelia tried to scramble to remember her name. She believed it started with an A as well. "Oh, uh, yeah. We actually got chosen for, well…"
He turned over to see Astrid, and looked at her as she talked.
"yeah we saw the smoke..it was Hercules..his son's and are gone and he wants us to find them, well us two and two others from what we know."
He put a hand to his neck, looking over to the distance and seeing dove talking to the guy he saw earlier sitting next to her.
Ash right?
He looked back over at Amelia and then the girl.
(Azriel is asleep so im just gonna kinda stalk until I feel he is needed and or can do something else)
"Huh." A quest? Astrid looked in the direction of the Big House. I wonder what happened to them, She thought, turning to walk away. Then she stopped. "Only one way to find out," She muttered to herself. She turned around and started walking towards the building.
"And I'll make sure you won't," Wendi assured Dove having been silently listening to the entire conversation. She was standing there after all. She gave Ash a weary smile, "I got chosen as well. Everything we'll be fine Dove, I promise."
Dove glanced over to her and nodded gratefully. Ash returned the smile. "Hey, Wendi. Wow, you too? Is this your first quest?"
Lilian waited for what seemed like hours, and the more she waited the more anxious she seemed to get.
She couldn't just wait forever…she had to go after him and see if he was okay.
He was all she had left..
She went back to her human form and she moved to run in the direction that she had seen him go into and as soon as she saw him she ran over to him and clinged onto his leg hiding behind him from Dove and Wendi since they were humans…
Ash looked down, surprised to find the nymph clinging to him. “Lilly? What are you doing here? Aren’t you cold? You’re still weak.” He spoke in a sort of motherly fashion, concerned about her. Letting go of one of Dove’s hands, he reached down to rest his own hand on her head.
Dove glanced downward, spotting the shifty girl as she approached. “Lilly? You mean your nymph friend?”
Wendi kept an eye on the nymph before answering Ash's question, "I mean sorta? I've been on maybe one before, but that was to help out a satyr with their mission. So this is my first like actual quest."
Amelia watched the girl run away before turning her attention to Wynn. "Come on, let's get to the Big House. The others are probably waiting for us."
Amelia subconsciously slipped her hand into his and pulled him along with her. She walked quietly and slowly, lost in her own thoughts.
"i-i…uhm.." she was trying to keep as hidden as possible from the humans, she was shaking slightly as she felt there eyes on her. She didn't know any nice humans…just the ones to chase you…and to kill your mother kind of human.
"Y-you w-were gone…a-a long t-time.." she mumbled, clinging desperately to his leg. "I g-got worried.."
He felt as Amelia slipped her hand into his and though it was unusual…it felt nice, it felt like her hand just simply locked into place, a perfect fit. He smiled softly as the feeling went away and he just walked with her holding hands. He never thought he would actually be doing this with her but here he was.
“Ah, I see,” Ash replied to Wendi, then looked back down and chuckled. “Yes, my nymph friend. Lilly, I wasn’t gone for that long, and my friends are alright, so there’s no need to worry.” He ruffled her head as Dove gazed curiously at her, then looked away. She knew when someone was anxious when she saw it.
Squeezing the satyr’s hand, she said, “Um, thanks Ash, and Wendi. I feel better now, but we should probably get to the Big House.”
"Oh yeah," Wendi replied to Dove and gave Ash a wave before beginning to make her way to the Big House, "I'll race you there Dove?"
Amelia leaned into him a bit more, using him as a clutch. Just as they reached the Big House, she paused. She looked at Wynn, still holding his hand. "Do you think everything is going to be alright? That it's going to be fine? And don't lie to me either."
Wynn noticed as she leaned into him a little bit more. He looked down at her, and used his other hand to move hair out of her face with a warm smile.
"Amelia, I know everything is going to be alright because it will be, whatever problem happens we can figure it out. Together."
Lily just continued to cling to ash, muttering how it felt like it had been ages. She did however peek out from behind ash to look at Dove, she seemed really pretty at least in her eyes.
She was trying to muster up the courage to say hi, but when she finally did it dove went to leave.
"u-um..hi.." she whispered out, towards dove, as she clung to ashes leg.
Dove managed a chuckle. “Sure, why not?” She said to Wendi. Running might improve her mood more, even if she didn’t feel like it. She quickly hugged Ash, who said, “Good luck,” before Dove heard the nymph’s whisper. She looked down and gave her a small wave.
“Um, hi.” She wasn’t really experienced with talking to nymphs, but this one was cute, and besides, she was Ash’s friend. “Lilly, right? Nice to meet you, I gotta race.”
She looked back to Wendi and said, “Let’s go,” before dashing out of the mess hall. She was kind of slow, and didn’t expect to beat her friend there, but it didn’t matter.
Ash watched them go, then looked back down at Lillian. “Alright, I’m here now. Do you need to go back to the lake? I wouldn’t want you going out when you’re still healing.”
"Hey! No head starts!" Wendi began dashing after Dove with a grin on her face. She was glad to make her Dove look a little happier than beforehand. Hopefully, she would be able to keep it that way.
Wynn noticed as she leaned into him a little bit more. He looked down at her, and used his other hand to move hair out of her face with a warm smile.
"Amelia, I know everything is going to be alright because it will be, whatever problem happens we can figure it out. Together."
Amelia closed her eyes, leaning into his hand slightly. She took a deep breath and nodded her head. "Okay, okay. We got this. I'm really starting to wish I paid more attention in training now."
Wynn: his face tinted slightly when she leaned into his hand, but he just continued to smile at her.
"if you need, I can help teach you some things that you may have missed in training." He chuckled.
"I might take you up on that." Amelia smiled before continuing their walk to the Big House. It was a weird name but fit the house, as it was big. As they reached the door, she finally released his hand and walked in and up the stairs to the meeting room. The classic ping ping table with chairs scattered around it. Chiron had yet to get there.
