Michael walked onto the grounds and sat on one of the benches, sighing.

Zyra laughed at the threat, a mischievous smirk on her face. "Bring it, sweetheart." She glanced around camp before looking at Addy. "I'll make them piss their pants in five seconds."

(Question, is cursing allowed?)

(Uh.. since this is based off a children's book series imma go with no… but I don't really consider piss a cuss word)

Addy rolled her eyes. "Can't we have a normal, friendly conversation for two seconds?"

(It's not because of that, it's just that she's the type that curses like a sailor)

"Maybe," Zyra answered, a smile on her face. "Depends on what we're talking about."

Sighing, Addy rolled her eyes again. She did that often when with Zyra. "I'm going to work on sword training. Come or don't, but preferably don't if you're gonna get on me like that."
She strode down towards the arena, not looking back to see if her friend had followed. On the way, she spotted Micheal, and decided to try and have a conversation with him before she trained. She really did wish they were better friends; they made good death race partners, after all.
"Hey Mike, what's up?" she asked, walking over to him but not sitting down.

Zyra sighed and got off the roof of her cabin, making her way into her cabin and smiling at her siblings. Let's hope I didn't do anything bad.

"The sky," Michael said without looking at her.

"You're hilarious." she said sarcastically. "What are you working on?"

"I'm waiting for Hephaestus kids to make something for me."

"Cool," she said, clicking her tongue. "Well I-"
"ALL CAMPERS MAKE YOUR WAY TO DINING HALL IMMEDIATELY. ALL CAMPERS, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR STATIONS NOW AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE DINING HALL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." the alert repeated itself a few times, and half bloods everywhere hastily made their way to the dining hall, confusion on all of their faces.
Addy looked at Micheal, and began to make her way up to the dining hall herself.

Angel packed her things and picked up Anna, scurrying to the Dining Hall. "What do you think this is about?" She asked the cat.

I don't know. What am I, the Oracle? Anna answered.

"Nevermind. I'll figure it out when we get there."

Zyra and her siblings all headed to the Dining Hall, all of them going to their friends the moment they made it there. Zyra was left by herself and stood around near the back, not sure what to do anymore.

Daisy rolled her eyes. She’d have to start a fight later. She turned to Lewis and shrugged. “Guess we should probably go see what this is about,” she remarked, looking far too calm for the situation.

Once arriving, Angel sat in the back corner of the room humming quietly to herself. She tends to do that when she's anxious.

Michael sat to the side and looked for anything out of the ordinary.

Addy walked up to Zyra and crossed her arms. "What is this?" she wondered, but before her friend could answer, Chiron clapped his hands to signal for attention.
"Good afternoon campers," he began in a loud tone. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you here, and the reason being is that there is trouble brewing." campers all around began to murmur, and Addy looked at Zyra worriedly.
"Now now, quiet please." the centaur continued. "Our friends at Camp Jupiter are being faced with a dangerous threat. Erebus, the old primordial deity of deep darkness himself, is rising. Brother to Gaea, he seeks to finish what his sister started."
Angry roars began to rise from the teens and children, and a few of the younger ones started crying. The Ares kids looked like they were about to blow the stew out of someone.
"There is no immediate threat as of now," said Chiron. "But we will be sending a team of out demigods to aid our friends as these attacks begin. Erebus, though he does not have much power himself yet, has enough to send plenty of monsters their way."

(just so you know, we're the team. A couple of random characters will come too, but thats just for extra numbers. They won't have voices.)

Oh no. I hope they'll be ok. Angel thought.

Don't worry, they'll be fine. Besides, the odds that you get sent are one in a thousand. her cat tries to reassure her.

Yeah. I'll be safe in camp…but if someone I know goes and they don't make it, I could never forgive myself for not being there!

And there you go second guessing everything. Anna seemingly rolls her eyes.

Zyra offered a smile at Addy when she came over, glancing at Chiron when he started talking. "Watch him pick the Olympians' children," She mumbled, crossing her arms as she waited for Chiron to pick the team of demigods.

Michael frowned. To be on the quest they'd have to have an Apollo kid with light powers…

"Chiron knows the strengths of all the gods, even the more minor ones." Addy tried to reassure her friend, but she wasn't positive she believed it herself. Being a child of an Olympian, she often felt guilty that the twelve and their children got all the glory.
"I haven't hand picked anyone," Chiron continued. "But I know that we will need a child of Apollo, a child of Athena, and a child of Ares." he said, and Addy's face turned red. Her friend, sadly, had been right. "Other volunteers from any other cabin are welcome to to join. Twelve people will be going. If you're interested, please come speak with me." He finished, stepping down and walking into another room. Instantly, chatter exploded, and people began to either run after the centaur, or flee as fast as possible.
"We need to volunteer," Addy urged her friend. "This is a chance to get out of here and do something." she hoped Zyra would join her.
(Obviously, most of you will be volunteering. If you want you can write that scene with Chiron, or we can fast forward)

"Shoot. People I know are up there." Angel complained, seeing familiar faces crowding Chiron. "Guess I'd better get up there then." She stood up and walked towards the group, Anna trailing behind her.

(I'm skipping the talk with Chiron part.)

(Yeah I didn't rlly want to do that either
yaaaaay we're in the group now) (I guess we wait for the others to decide how they want to do it)

( Good plan. Fast forward, it's been… three days, and now we're all leaving. It's dawn. )
Chiron approached the leader of the mission, a girl from the Ares cabin. Addy listened in on their conversation, hoping to hear something useful.
"This isn't a normal mission, as it isn't a quest, nor has it been issued by the Oracle. I pray that no harm comes to you and your team on the way." they exchanged a few more words, but Addy no longer wanted to listen. Instead she turned to her friends that would be joining her. (all of you)
"I've never been on a mission, or a quest. I want to say it's exiting, but… you know. The fate of the world is kind of compromised…" then she thought for a moment. "How can we even do this without an Oracle anyway?" she wondered.

Michael fingered his hand cannon. He had gotten less training than he'd like, but thankfully a Hecate kid had helped him with some of the disadvantages of a gun. He sighed. "No idea."
