"Yup," Miles said. He kicked the ground. "So… when are we leaving?"
"Yup," Miles said. He kicked the ground. "So… when are we leaving?"
"I guess as soon as we can," Viva answered. "When Ari and Perth arrive."
\ Natasha and @wake-read-eat-sleep, we need you! \
"I need to go get my stuff from the cabin, might take awhile."
"Ok siren!" Viva replied. "See ya soon!" Despite the brave face she was putting on, Viva was incredibly nervous, and exhausted, but she hoped no one would notice.
Viva hoped Miles wasn't too nervous. He was a new kid to the camp. "How you feeling Miles?" she asked.
(Should we just go on, and imply that everyone else is taken with us?)
(Yeah, I don't want this to die!)
(I think that's the only way to keep it alive. And once we're on the quest, if less active users still want to be part of it, we can always just act like they've been there the whole time.)
(Yeah. So, do you want to start it?)
(Sure. Where are they going and how do they get there?)
(I think the quest is like Nyx's children, right? Sooo…. wherever they need to to get there…?)
(We kind of backed ourselves into a corner with this one. I'll do some research)
(Okay, so in Riordan's interpretation, she lives in Tartarus in the Mansion of Night when it's daytime, and she leaves Tartarus at night. Other fun fact: she may be the goddess of hellhounds. Probably doesn't help a whole lot, but these are my thoughts: 1. Maybe as the story progresses, she refuses to return to Tartarus, causing an eternal night 2. The quest starts out as the kids look for Nyx's divine children and ask them for clues, but they have to figure that out by interpreting the prophecy)
(Okie)
(Sounds cool!)
(Yeah, but our plot's also about the oneiroi, so idk, maybe they're monsters, and the second they leave camp, they start seeing these (but maybe only at night for a while, up until Nyx refuses to return to Tartarus?))
(Yeah, that seems like a good idea! :D)
(Okay, so should we get started?)
(Sure)
Chiron had come to see the young demigods off before they left on the quest, but didn't give them much of a clue as to what they needed to do, or where they needed to go. This greatly worried Lewis, as the prophecy had been rather cryptic. It had talked about night, mostly. Plus, Eleos had come to visit, so he deducted that Nyx was who the quest was about. Nyx. An ancient night goddess born of chaos. After Chiron had left, Lewis turned to Sienne and signed, "Are you as confused as I am?"
Sienne nodded, "If you have no idea what we're supposed to do, yes."
"Maybe we should just go. There's nothing like real-world experience in determining how to solve a problem. Besides, we can try to interpret the prophecy later. It certainly has to do with Nyx, though. I can guarantee that much," Lewis suggested. He gazed over towards the camp's border. "I haven't been out there in a while. I'm actually kind of excited."
Sienne nodded, "I wonder how it would feel. To be honest, I'm not that excited to go back out there."
"It's probably different and more dangerous for you. You're the daughter of one of the big three, after all. I don't get to go out because my father lives too far away to visit, and no one ever wants me on a quest because I have no powers. I don't think I've so much as stepped foot out of here in two years," Lewis replied, "I'd leap at the chance to catch a glimpse of the mortal world again."
"Yeah, that's true," Sienne agreed, ”So, how is it like being in here for two years?" she asked.
"Boring, most of the time. And living in a cabin with all of the Hermes kids and unclaimed is super irritating. I think the worst part might be that they are training me for battles that I'll never be allowed to fight," Lewis admitted, "I don't hate it here. They take care of me. But I certainly don't like it."
"Yeah, it does seem like that'd get boring after a few months. Well, at least all that training will come in handy," Sienne smiled.
"Finally," Lewis agreed, smiling back. "Although, I will say that since you've joined us, things have been a lot less boring."
Sienne smiled and felt her ears grow slightly warmer, "Yeah, I'd think a prophecy and a child of the Big Three would make things a bit more exciting."
"I guess that's part of it, yeah. I think what I meant, though, is that I have a new friend," Lewis said, picking his words carefully.
