"Ok, yeah. I'm a little….. dizzy….."
"Ok, yeah. I'm a little….. dizzy….."
Siren went up to Ari hoping she wouldn't notice.
(hello?)
(Oh noooooo I was gone for half of a day and a lot of things happened! I'm just gonna try to jump back in.)
Lewis was exhausted, about to fall asleep on his feet, but one thing he did understand was that he was one of the children of the prophecy, and as far as he was aware, the oldest one. He felt responsible for his friends, and that thought scared him. Lewis wasn't ready to die, or ready to have any of them die on a perhaps hopeless quest.
Sienne saw Lewis, who looked a little tired. She walked over to him and smiled, "Hey, Lewis!" she signed, "So, Miles is going on a dangerous quest in a tuxedo. Not a very good outfit for battle, huh?"
Lewis laughed and signed back, "Maybe it'll suffice if it's a blessed tux."
He appeared as happy and composed as possible, but deep down he was worried.
"Yeah, right. Just take off the tux." Maze said.
"Yeah, true," Sienne giggled. She felt something was off with him, "Hey, are you ok?" she asked.
"Not exactly. There's no reason for me to hide it. I'm pretty sure that I'm part of the prophecy, and honestly? I'm scared," Lewis admitted, "But… no need to spoil the fun. I guess we can cross that bridge when we get to it."
Lewis tried to get Miles' attention and congratulate him on being claimed.
Sienne nodded and let Lewis congratulate Miles. She sat lay down in the grass and thought of everyone who was going on the quest. Sienne realized they were all people she knew.
(Is Maze on the quest?)
(Yeah, I made sure to add a line about a child of Athena)
(Yeah, I made sure to add a line about a child of Athena)
(Oh, I didn't see the prophecy. What is it?)
Ari sighed and sat down in the grass.
(Yeah, I made sure to add a line about a child of Athena)
(Oh, I didn't see the prophecy. What is it?)
(It's this:)
"The one born of darkness shall bring the light,
One of sun will win the fight,
Brains will conquer brawn,
Beauty will rise at dawn,
Magic will quench the fire,
A hunter of eternity will arrive when times are dire,
The rage of a wind storm shall rage,
The friend of their foe will turn the page,
One birthed of water will take charge,
Another sun will shine on the barge,
Speak will be their only hope,
First they save a craftsman of young hands who mopes,
The sun will shine once more,
All are needed to open the door,
If not completed be the end of the year,
The world that you find to be so dear,
Will be filled with chaos and conflict,
It will be stopped, only if the right ones are picked.
They will face the mother of dreams,
Stopping her by any means.
If the time passes and she survives,
The world in war will then arise."
(There were tons more people at first, so some of these might just be random other people on the quest)
(Ok)
Lewis passed by Sienne as he began to leave. He waved at her and signed, "good night."
He went into the Hermes cabin, which was now fairly empty. Most of the others were at the campfire or the pavilion. He pulled out a drachma and went into the bathroom, then filled up the sink partially before throwing the drachma into the water.
"Oh goddess, accept my offering."
A rainbow mist shimmered before him, and the faint image of his dad appeared. He explained his situation quickly- the prophecy, and how he feared he might be in on it. He also asked his father if he could order a new pair of glasses and lied about how they had broken, saying they snapped in a training accident.
(Can we have the oneiroi start appearing occasionally at some point, or at least show signs of their presence?)
Viva's heart dropped bit by bit as each of her friends headed up to the fire. She was happy for Miles, being claimed and all, but she didn't want him on the quest. It would be so dangerous.
But even as she began to stand, to head down to volunteer with them, her vision faded out.
Her surroundings began to reform around her and Viva started when she saw her dad inside a music room. Urgh, she thought. Not now, please. Please don't give me another vision right now…
But her prayers were not answered.
"Is this thing coming through?" Apollo hissed, looking left and right.
"Loud and clear," Viva sighed.
Apollo, not exactly being the master of tact, didn't notice Viva's discomfort and jumped straight into a warning. "Well, wonderful daughter of mine (though not so wonderful as me), I'm sure you're aware of the quest. Right?"
Viva stopped herself from saying duh and instead nodded.
"Hmm. Yes," Apollo murmured, "nasty woman that N-" For some reason, thunder crackled from above and Apollo stopped himself in the middle of his sentence. "Aaannnyyways," Apollo continued carefully. "You're a part of it."
Viva wasn't sure whether to laugh, scream or cry. "Me!" she said incredulously. "But what can I do?"
"What can you do?!" Apollo cried, "What do you mean what can you do. Viva, you know your powers. "The quest cannot succeed without your power."
"I DON'T use that power dad," Viva replied, angry now.
"Well, you're going to have to," Apollo said firmly.
Viva blinked back tears. He didn't understand.
Apollo held up a hand, "Wait! I feel a haiku coming on.
Nightmares shatter earth,
My daughter will save the day
We are so awesome!
Viva stifled a laugh/groan at her father's poetry as her vision went black again.
Viva opened her eyes for a second, seeing the campfire, then fainted.
(Do they need to volunteer first, or is that more of a thing with the gods who have more kids? Because I totally forgot to have him step forwards, although he could realize his mistake and come back. not sure.)
(I don't know, but I do agree the oneiroi should be appearing soon)
(yeah, idk whether we should wait until we're on the quest or what. viva is going to tell people what her dad said when someone wakes her up. so in a sense she isn't volunteering, she got volunteered by apollo. you could make lewis have a dream message about it?)
Siren didn't want to volunteer her self because she was afraid, afraid people would laugh at her. She just sat there alone.
(Sure, I was kind of thinking of giving him a dream of some sort, whether it was a nightmare connected to the oneiroi, or a message from his mother. Or maybe a combination.)
Viva's heart dropped bit by bit as each of her friends headed up to the fire. She was happy for Miles, being claimed and all, but she didn't want him on the quest. It would be so dangerous.

Viva opened her eyes for a second, seeing the campfire, then fainted.
Miles started to get really nervous when Sienne and Lewis started talking, but even more nervous when he saw Viva. She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them for a second before crashing to the ground. Miles' breathing went rapid and he ran out of the line towards her. He knelt next to her. "Viva? Viva, wake up!" he whisper-shouted. He didn't want to bring too much attention to them. He looked up at the people in the front, silently asking them for help.
