Yes. You read that right. Greece has fallen...or at least the camp that has catered to Greek demigods for over three millennia has fallen. Camp Half-Blood had a traitor in their midst. A traitor with powerful allies who quickly burned the camp to the ground. Some were lost, some killed, and the rest who remained began the long trek across the country to the only place where they might be safe: Camp Jupiter.
Chiron banded what campers they had left, told them of the other camp and sent word to Camp Jupiter pleading for shelter. Chaos now threatens the camp daily with the arrival of new Greek campers to this foreign camp. This camp with strange customs and rules. While on the Roman end the Praetors are forced to hold up a balancing act of providing sanctuary while also trying to find the traitor before their home suffers the same fate as Camp Half-Blood.
New alliances are forged, new enemies are made, and these two worlds have to find some way to work together for the future of them all. Which side are you on? Which position will you take? It's time to jump in the fray because Greece has fallen.

Scarlett's eyes sparkled and she shrugged, " Was there ever any doubt in your mind that I would be?" she kept moving her legs in the water, thinking of slipping into the pool, but she was rather distracted watching him. How could she not? From the moment he pulled his shirt off her cheeks were flushed and she had to look down at her lap to keep from him seeing her checking him out. Not that that was a bad thing by any means, they were on a date after all. Why was she feeling like a mess right now? He was so very distracting, that much was certain. She swallowed down the nervousness as best she could though. It had been awhile since she had been in this kind of situation. She and Ben had been two peas in a pod, and she always felt so at ease with him. Though the more she thought about it she realized that she had been nervous when things first started with him as well. It was time to forget about the past, and though it hurt, she knew she had to. The time she was spending with Castor was totally healing her heart, something she never expected, and she could not have been happier.
The smirk grew on her face, tilting her lips on one side as she looked into his bright sapphire orbs. " That says quite a bit. What if he sent Cerberus? Would that change your mind?" she grinned at him reaching down into the water as discretely as possible and with one swift movement splashing him with it. Giggles erupted from her lips and she tilted her head looking at him from under long lashes. " Awe, did someone get a little damp? Never know who to trust around here do you?" Scar fought to keep from completely bursting out in laughter, though before long she lost it completely and just let the laughter roll over her like a wave. It was a great feeling, and that feeling was so very intoxicating for her.
Looking over at him as he joined her she smiled, " It's alright, I understand having responsibilites at camp. You are a centurion, so that comes with a lot of work. I get it, really. At camp since I was a little older, I was helping to teach some classes, knife throwing for example. Which, we need to decide when you want to have you own...private lesson." she tossed her hair as she flirted with him, unable to help herself. His question had her debating for a moment then shrugged, "Still getting used to the new schedule really. Might have still tried to find ways to get out of the training thing. To be fair, my memories can still be fuzzy at times but, if im honest, when I'm around you they seem to come back a little easier. Weird huh?" she laughed, " No, I kind of have been avoiding them as much as I can because I wasn't sure how it was going to be if people find out we have been uh, hanging out more." she licked her lips and held a finger up. " I have something..."
She went to her bag and grabbed it but looked back at him. " No ratting me out, I am of age." she laughed and grabbed the bottle of wine out of the bag and brought it back over to him, holding it out. " On the way to camp I picked this up. With every intention that one night I would drink myself into a stupor, or save it for something special. Tonight, I think qualifies as the something special." she shrugged, " If you are interested that is." she laughed feeling like maybe she was peer pressuring him with the whole lets get drunk together thing. " Or if you think someone will come in and catch us. Hate to see you on ditch digging duty...unless you plan to do so shirtless. "
Biting her lip she went back to her bag and grabbed the corkscrew she had managed to find and opened the bottle dropping the cork in the bag. Realizing she didn't bring any glasses she drank directly from the bottle then set it between them, letting him decide if he was going to join her or not. Slipping into the water she moved a little ways from the side and treaded water. " The other day, when you mentioned having to sneak out of camp to get good snacks. What are the chances of us maybe doing that for the next date? Unless you get tired of me by then."
Scarlett sat on her bunk chewing on her lip as she glanced at her clock to see what time it was. Any moment now she would be able to sneak out, and thank the gods for her fathers gifts, she was going to be able to sneak easily through the dark to get to the pool. She was nervous, but only because she had realized how much she was already enjoying spending time with the son of Mercury. Castor was extremely sweet, and she didn't think she would get so attatched to anyone again, and definitely never would have thought them to be a Roman. Though, here she was, sitting in the dark of the barracks that had been given to the Greeks while she waited for the time she had agreed upon to meet him. Digging carefully through her stuff she glanced around before shoving the bottle in her backpack along with a towel and some other things. The bottle was one she had gotten on the way to Camp Jupiter, a red wine that she had had a glass of when they stopped to eat at a restraunt, and she slipped away to buy a whole bottle knowing that she was going to have to hide it. [break]
Her plan had been to hold onto it for something special, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought that this was just that. It had been hard for her to think that she might move on, but the fact was, she needed to. She wasn't trying to jump in with both feet, but at the same time, that was the way she is. She found something she liked, something she wanted, and she went for it. Taking a deep breath she glanced once more at the clock and hitched the bag up onto her shoulder and slipped out into the darkness of the camp. Castor had given her some heads up on the best way to go to get to the pool, and so between his advice and the shadow travelling, she managed to get there easily, and with no trouble what so ever. [break]
Slipping into the baths she headed to the room to change, slipping on her black and white bikini she headed down to the pool area and glanced around. He wasn't here yet, but that gave her time to try to get her nerves in check, as well as kind of get the lay of the land. It was pretty big and she was impressed. Camp Half Blood had been her home for so very long, and she wouldnt' deny she missed it, but Camp Jupiter was so nice, and had so much that they didn't there. Both camps had their own things going on, but she thought that once she got used to it, she was going to like Camp Jupiter and New Rome more than she might be ready to admit. [break]
Sitting down on the edge of the pool, her feet dangled in the water. The temperature was perfect, and she moved her feet back and forth in the water, little gentle ripples spreading out from where her legs were dangling. Hearing footsteps she looked up quickly and saw him coming to join her. The dark hair and blue eyes just taking her breath away. Dangit, how did he get under her skin so easily already. " How did I beat a son of Mercury here? Shouldn't have you beat me here by a long shot?" she teased him gently and leaned back a bit, her hands bracing her as she looked up at him. " Here I was thinking you stood me up." she continued teasing him, though he wasn't even late, she just felt the need to give him a difficult time over it.
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Scar laughed, " But I like puppies." she grinned, loving that they both were able to make jokes here and there to make themselves feel better in any situation. That was something very welcome to her. Having someone that could cheer her up, make her feel like she was not some dark side freak, that was a great change of pace. Scarlett tried not to be looked at for what she was, who she was. She wanted people to actually get to know the true person underneath it all. It was quite the change of pace, and she was really enjoying this interaction, the smile was hard to wipe off her face. [break][break]
You seem to be one of those too good to be true guys. Im not complaining, don't get me wrong, but I really am enjoying getting to know you." she smiled and ran her fingers gently through her long, blonde locks. "You really are sweet you know that? Don't let it inflate your ego but, you are." she couldn't imagine how someone as sweet, handsome, and funny as him was single. Unless of course, he was flirting with her when he had a girlfriend, that would be messed up. Though she didn't really think that he was that type. He seemed far too genuine to be that guy. " wow, really? That's a pretty cool connection to have. So like, the Marvel movies? We could see those before the spoilers start leaking?" she grinned at the mere idea of it. [break][break]
Scarlett nodded slowly, " They think that children of the big three are a danger to themselves and to others. Too powerful to be out and about outside of the camp borders. Monsters can practically taste us on the air. I don't know, its horrible, but its the truth. They thought I would be safer if I stayed within the borders of Camp Halfblood. I guess we saw how safe that was." she shrugged and tried not to dwell on that. It was too painful and she wished to be rid of these thoughts. She grinned as he spoke of the er...cardio, her face flushed red at the idea of it. " Makes sense, I can't imagine what it must be like, to have a whole place where a demigod can be free to live, love, and have their own family. I never thought I would be able to have that chance, maybe I still won't but, its a nice concept. I am jealous of them." she admitted softly. [break][break]
Laughter escaped her again and she shook her head, " Mmmm yes that is exactly what it is. Those looks and that devilish charm that I just can't get enough of, all the dates you could ever want just based on that alone." she teased him gently, throughly enjoying this. It was a great feeling, and she was not about to give up on it any time soon. " why do I have the feeling that you would never disappoint me?" Her face grew even more red as he mentioned her being bold, " I...its not too much is it? If I am going too far you can tell me you know? Though no, definitely not Roman, I was claimed by Hades not Pluto." she grinned and looked him over again, " You ok with a Greek? Don't think I'll stab you in your sleep?" oh gods, did she just allude to something....no...no she didn't did she? Crap. [break][break]
" Oh? Do you think that they would keep us apart then? Or is it more that they would tease you relentlessly?" It sounded like he had a pretty good relationship with the praetors at least. She had noticed however, that some of the Romans were not at all happy that the Greeks were in their midst, and if she was honest with herself, it scared her a little. Not knowing what might happen at any one point. If they had too much of a disagreement, what would happen between the two camps. Would a war start right there on the Fields of Mars? Gods she hoped not. She could just picture having to stand on the opposite side of the field from him, and that was not something she wanted to ever see. [break][break]
His words hurt and she turned her blue eyes up to his, trying to understand how he would be ok with that. " I don't believe that. Not even for a moment. You are not the same as half the other Romans, you actually have treated me like a person, not just one of those greeks if everyone was supposed to be a big team, then you would think they would be a little more open to allowing more of us into their ranks rather than trying to keep us enemies." she looked away from his eyes then, only becasue she wasn't sure how to to explain what she meant. She only hoped he would understand what she was trying to say. [break][break]
" well that is why you have me to teach you. Delicate motions are something I have in spades. You just will have to trust me and let me show you how to do it." Scar was willing to show him how it worked, how you didn't have to always use brute strength to succeed, that sometimes the more gentle approach worked. " well I would like to think so. We seem to be on the same page." she loved that look he gave her, it made her heart skip a beat and butterflies take flight in her stomach. Goodness, this was not at all how she expected this day to go but, she couldn't have asked for a better one. [break][break]
" What if I know one of the said centurions? One who might be able to tell me when he's on duty and could maybe even sneak away with me?" she teased, though she would do what he suggested. " Do you ever get to go down there though? I mean, I want to see the city." she sighed, " THough for now I will settle for the pool." she licked her lips, biting the bottom one as she looked up at him. " Maybe I can do that. I'll try. Though maybe, we can have our own little dance party. You can show me your moves."
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Castor Boyd
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] He had such a nice smile, it practically glowed and made his whole face light up. She could see herself easily getting on with him. He just had something about him that made her comfortable. Made her feel like she didn't have to try to put on a show. She could just be herself. His eyes seemed to constantly be taking her in, checking her out though she wasn't sure. Who was she kidding, he was totally checking her out, just as she was doing the same to him. It was hard not to. His energy was just intoxicating and as he mentioned his parentage she understood what it was. Of course, of course he would be a son of Mercury, why wouldn't he be? It was like she was destined for it. [break][break]
" you are a son of Mercury? Good to know. If you plan to steal any of my shiny objects let me know in advance so I can hide my favorites." she teased him gently but gave him a serious look for a moment, " Just um, one of my powers I have, I can uh..pull precious stones up from the earth, don't use any of them just, leave them there, they curse anyone that uses them and I don't...I don't want anything to happen to you because of me ok?" she took a deep breath. " Ok I swear I'm done being a downer." she smiled at him and took a deep breath, trying to just let everything from the past go. it was time to move along with it, they needed some happy moments in their lives, and she sure wouldn't mind some of those happy moments being with him. [break][break]
When he tilted his head looking at her she gave him a little flirty look, if they were going to be talking about dating in this place, she was going to flirt. She was not about to let that opportunity slip by. She could not deny that she found an attraction towards the son of Mercury. It seemed that she very much had a type. Not that she was complaining in the least. Castor seemed like a great guy from what she could tell, and she wasn't one to believe in coincidence. The fact that he was a son of Mercury felt more like fate to her. " Whoa really? That sounds amazing. I don't even remember the last time I got to actually go to a movie theatre. Truthfully, its been a long time since I even got to go to a proper restraunt either." she thought it over, " Does that sound as sad as I think it does?" she laughed a little " I've been a year round camper for awhile, so, being a kid of the big three they tended to keep me on a short leash. Dangerous was the word I heard the most." [break][break]
She laughed along with him at the idea. "I take it they keep you guys on a short leash too? Trying to keep you from making more little Romans?" she teased him gently and looked around as they walked. "I appreciate that. I will talk with you one day about it, sounds like a third date conversation doesn't it?" she was trying to lighten up the mood but she would tell him about all of it some time. About what it had been like at camp, about her life there, about what had happened, even about Ben. " Hmm, as opposed to Castor the Humble? I figure that would send me someone completely different" she grinned and shook her head, the smile never leaving her lips as she looked over at Castor. [break][break]
" well I should hope so. I wouldn't want one on one attention from anyone else here that's for sure." she smirked a little at him and licked her lips for a moment, biting the bottom one as she looked away. What in the underworld was wrong with her? " awe, have I hurt you? I am so sorry. I promise I'm not some daugther of the love goddess sent here to break your heart into a million tiny pieces." she giggled at the mere idea of it. That was the last thing she would do. She knew they had some rite of passage thing that involved breaking boys hearts, but Scar always thought it so so damm shallow. " Would you like me to tell your praetor what a great job you are doing?" she made it sound like she was teasing, but she very much meant it. Castor was making her feel like she was very welcome, and actually had made her extremely happy. It was all she could ever have asked for. [break][break]
She turned her eyes to his as he said he wasn't that important. She placed a warm hand on his arm, " I don't want you to say that again. You are important. At least, to me. We may have just met but you have made me feel more at home, more welcome, and more like myself than i have in months. You know that saying to the world you may be one person but to one person you are the world?" she pointed to herself, " Don't forget that." she bit her lip. That sounded like a lot to say to someone new in your life, but the thing with being a demigod was, that you had to embrace life fully while you still had it. As the daughter of the lord of the underworld, she knew that better than most. She knew how close death was at all times, and had seen it first hand. More than once now. She was going to embrace every moment. [break][break]
Giggling again as he nudged her with his shoulder, she sidestepped a bit as he knocked her off balance but moved to nudge him right back. " I am perfectly modest thank you very much." she was growing more excited by the moment as they made more and more plans to do things together. " it's all in the wrist you know?" she held her hand up and made kind of a flicking motion with it. " I'll show you properly when we get the chance." A blush crossed her cheeks and she shrugged, " would you have if I had given you the chance?" she looked up into his eyes as she asked the question, blue eyes glittering as she smirked at him. The tension was so thick between them you could cut it with a knife, and she was loving every second of it. [break][break]
" Don't threaten me with a good time Castor." she laughed and at his question shook her head, " Gods no. Just the campfires every night really. Capture the flag, stuff like that, never anything like dances. Fourth of July you could see the fireworks over the bay. That was nice, but no, it was a lot like here. Training, classes, working in the strawberry fields, trying not to do something to get ourselves killed. The usual. You had to be creative for dates." she shrugged, " sneak into New Rome you say though...hmm....."
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Castor Boyd
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Laughter really was the best medicine, and his was absolutely infectious. She giggled too, just the idea of him in a dress was a laughable visual. " oh well, that is going to be really hard for them to get out, hope it wasn't your best one because I mean, you might never get to wear it on your dates anymore. Shame really, you have good legs." she smirked at him, a little half crooked smile playing on her face. Gods it felt good to smile again, felt good to be able to laugh. You never realized how much you missed these things until it was gone. She crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head, taking him in. " So since you are this big, bad centurion, a big deal as you said, you think that means you are up for the challenge hmm? Well, maybe I will have to take you up on it." she cocked one hip out as she thought it over, Camp Jupiter was so different from Camp Halfblood. She and Ben had to be very...creative...when it came to dates there, she was beyond curious what they might have been like here. [break][break]
" what does one do on a date in this place? Just for...research purposes of course." she bit her lip nervously as she looked up at those blue eyes again. HOW was this even fair? Those eyes were hard to look away from, such brilliant blue. It was just not fair. It was like the fact that most guys had longer lashes than girls. You had to buy the expensive make up or fake lashes or even get lash extensions to even come close to what some of these guys had. He was no exception either. Of course he would have lashes for days. [break][break]
She swallowed the knot that had formed in her throat, not wanting to relive any of it. Even for a moment, though it was there every night when she closed her eyes. From the sounds in the barracks it wasn't just her either. Some of the other campers seemed to be having the same problem. They had all endured so damm much, and they were still dealing with it. Their eyes met as he told her not to go there and he was right, she shouldn't but the thoughts were there, and hard to get rid of. " I suppose I shouldn't, its just hard. Though I really don't want to think about it, we lost so many good people, and some lost several. It's going to take time to get through. Though hopefully, people like you, can help. You are already helping me by the way." she could not look away from him, their eyes just seemed to not want to leave each other. [break][break]
" No, no you aren't a jerk Castor. Please. It was bound to come out eventually, better now than when I'm curled up in a ball somewhere right?" she smiled at him, trying to lighten the mood, even though it was a hard thing to do in these situations. She was glad they had gotten a little of it out of her. " I would really appreciate that. I tend to do better in one on one situations." was that full of innuendo? Probably. Did she care? Not really. Maybe that was what she was going for. " Hard not to notice. Yeah...yeah I think you are. Though don't let it go to your head, don't need to inflate your ego." she grinned. [break][break]
Walking with him was nice, it was easy. It just felt like everything was easier around him. Go figure. As they passed the scowling Roman who was clearly not happy she was there she snorted out a little laughter, " Oh yeah, so hospitable, that guy didn't even spit at me like he clearly wanted to." she hated this whole thing between the Greeks and Romans, for her it just felt so stupid. " How much are they going to give you crap for hanging out with me? One of their oh so special Centurions slumming it with a Greek?" she could only imagine how they would feel about it. Could only imagine him being called a traitor. " They going to stone you in the middle of New Rome?" [break][break]
As he continued the tour she thought about it, " We had the lake, and I swam there a few times, but avoided the bay, that was not exactly a safe space for me. Even the lake felt a little uncomfortable at times, but summers can be pretty hot even in New York." she looked over as he offered the sword play help, and hand to hand would be intersting, she wasn't bad at that, " Sure, that all sounds good. I can't promise you will be as good as me but...I will try to teach you." she teased him gently, if he could have a big head, so could she. " An actual pool? That sounds great." she looked up at him, " How much trouble would you get into if you snuck out with me for a swim tonight?" she was just curious how far she could push things here without him finally saying no. [break][break]
" Always back to the training. You really are Roman aren't you?" her eyes glittered as she tried to hold back her mirth. " Doesn't sound boring at all. Wait. Do you guys actually have somewhere to dance here? Or do you mean just in the shower or the middle of your cabin..er..barracks?" She would love to get her mind off of everything and just dance the night away. Gods it sounded like the perfect night, dancing, letting her hair down, her mind just turned off to everything around her but for the company she kept. Just something to make her feel truly alive again. A moment of happiness that she had not felt since before the attack on the camp. Gods it felt like a life time ago.
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Castor Boyd
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Licking her lips, trying to keep her laughter at bay, Scarlett grinned at him, " Well if thats the case then where is your dress? I could see you in this pretty little blue number. Match your eyes of course." she teased him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. If he was going to flirt and tease, then so was she. The look in her eyes mirrored his own as they joked with one another, and she was certain that this was going to be quite an eventful day. She could tell that they were going to keep one another on their toes. " it might be, do you think you are up for that challenge? Very few have succeeded." she smirked a bit at him, wondering just how he might take that. It had never crossed her mind that she would be able to flirt like this again, but there she was doing so.
Scarlett wasn't like most of the Greeks. She already felt like an outcast so she did not see the need for the petty squabbles between Roman and Greek. She had a hard enough time keeping her anger in check, mainly because of the way it felt for her to be so connected to people who have died or are about to die. The pain they feel making her hurt like Hades. It was nice to be around someone who was so clearly full of life as Castor was. " It's not that we don't train, because we do. It's just getting back into the swing of things after what we all went through. It was really hard on all of us, some...some more than others. So, I guess for me at least, I feel like I let people down, maybe I didn't train hard enough." she sighed and looked down at her feet, " Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer I swear." she bit her lip then turned her blue eyes back up to his.
" Maybe I will do better slowly intigrating into it. Wouldn't want to help a girl out with some private training lessons would you?" she honestly felt she would do better with that. At least for now. " Hmm, I suppose I will have to work on that then." she smiled a little, " Though I would hate to scar that pretty face of yours." she had not thrown her knives in awhile, but it might be fun to get back into that as well. Her fingers itched to have her knives in them once more.
She was honestly surprised that he didn't even remotely react to her godly parentage, that was a nice change of pace. It was not typical by any means, and she was rather flattered that he didn't react. His eyes found hers and she found her cheeks growing warm once more as she realized his had flitted down to her lips. She smiled, her ruby lips turning up at the corners when he looked away quickly towards the campers walking by. They needed that distraction for a moment, the air was so very full of tension in that moment, not angry tension by any means, definitely the exact opposite. She could feel it, and wondered if he could as well. That erotically charged atmosphere was making her heart race and she had to take a deep breath. What the Hades was going on?
" For little old me? Isn't that sweet." Scar grinned at him, glad that he was willing to do this for her. It had been so hard for her to adjust, and maybe that would help. Finding someone from the Roman camp that was willing to take her under his wing so to speak. " Thank you." she walked along with him back towards the barracks. " Well, ok, I'll admit there are a couple things that I enjoy as far as training goes. I love knife throwing, it's actually one of my best skills. Riding as well. I guess its just the precision and military style you guys seem to favor thats not my forte. I like to dance too, but as you know we don't get to do much of that. Swimming on occasion, but...daughter of the king of the underworld, not exactly safe in the air or the sea." she turned her eyes up to his, " What about you, outside of training, what does Castor like to do?"
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Castor Boyd
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Scar raised her eyebrows at him as he mentioned her shorts and she shook her head trying to hold back the laughter that was threatening to escape her. She really did not need to encourage the absolutely terrible humor. " Really, are you sure that is not your ploy to see me in a dress? IF that was the case you might be holding your breath for a good long while. I only wear dresses on dates, so...good luck." Those eyes, gods he had such blue eyes. Almost the color of her favorite gemstone, sapphire. She looked away quickly and tried not to think about it. It felt like a betrayal almost, though she knew Ben wouldn't want her to wallow, at least, from what she remembered. Gods, why did she have to deal with this, what in the seven hells had she done to deserve all of this? Then again, all the greeks were dealing with this, so it wasn't exactly new, or unsual.
" Are you trying to make me train? I mean, one, I don't have any clothes with me to change into. Two, why do I have to train? As you said, I'm new, I mean, still trying to find my way around here and frankly, my memory is shot so I don't know that I will even remember ANYTHING that you Romans try to teach me anyway." she was doing all she could to get out of this, just because she had managed to wander over this way did not mean she wanted to train. In fact, she wanted the exact opposite. She really just wanted to explore the camp, try to find her bearings try to find a way to fit in here. She hated the way some of the Romans looked at her, like she was something they stepped in, something that had no businesses being there. It wasn't her idea to come to camp, she wasn't even sure how she had gotten here.
As he bent down to tie his shoes she chewed on her bottom lip, he was pretty cute, ok really cute, but there was something in that smile of his that was panging her. " I don't know honestly where I was trying to go. I have no idea how to get anywhere around here really. I think they gave me a map but, I don't know what I did with it." she blushed, feeling like a complete and total idiot all of the sudden. She ran her hand through her long blonde hair and gave him an apologetic look. " I feel like I'm coming off as a Hellhoundess, I don't mean to be. I've just...its hard adjusting. So, I apologize." she took his hand when he offered it.
" Nice to meet you Castor. I'm Scarlett, daughter of Hades." she let his hand go, expecting the usual she got from people when they found out her father was the lord of the underworld. That look of oh my god ew, or so you are a freak, that usual look that jsut made her uncomfortable as Hades. " Any chance of you maybe wanting to blow off the training thing and maybe show me around instead? Or are centurions strict rule followers?"

[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] The dream felt so real. Laughing and lying in his arms on the top of Half Blood Hill. Supposed to be on guard duty but that had never been their best assignment, especially when they were scheduled together. Brown eyes met hers and she was lost in them. Though then there was fire, fire engulfing everything and fighting. The ringing of blades as they fought, the choking smoke filling her lungs, and his hand ripped from hers. Scar had searched and couldn't find him, looking everywhere but he was gone. Screaming his name across the fields as they burned, the smell of burned strawberries in the air.
After that day, she would never eat a strawberry again.Her father came to her in a dream, told her that Ben was in his kingdom, and she wanted to go to him, ask him to try for Elysium, but her father forbade her. Scar woke up in a cold sweat and rubbed her blue eyes, wanting nothing more than to hold onto the dream, trying to keep it as a memory but they kept seeping away from her. They told her it was likely that her mind was trying to protect her from her own pain.
Getting dressed, she found her way out into camp, just trying to clear the vision that she had in her head, those eyes that she was so afraid would haunt her forever. She had been at Camp Jupiter for awhile now, doing her best to fit in, but she was also a little gun shy when it came to training and that kind of thing. Her issues with her memory caused her to not be as sure of herself, and there was the whole fact that she was afraid to get hurt again. Plus, the Romans trained so differently than she was used to. She found herself in the stables more often than not. Her own mount, a black horse that was a gift from her father many years ago with glowing embers for eyes was feared by others, but he was hers and no one else touched him. He was one of the only horses that would let her near anyway, they knew who's child she was.
Scar had debated taking him out, but found herself near the ring instead. How she had found her way there she wasn't even sure at this point, but she found herself there some how. She was staring off into space, trying to figure out her plan of action when someone addressed her. Turning her eyes to his she blinked at his question for a moment, " Not exactly dressed for training am I?" she glanced down at her clothes she had pulled on, far from anything she would wear to train. Dark denim shorts, a white loosely fitted speghetti strap top, and converse. Not even close to training gear, " I'm...not even sure why I'm here." she frowned a little, trying to figure out how she had made her way to the marching ring.
[attr="class","THREAD1TAG"] WORDS (optional) Castor Boyd
You would never know that a girl as popular as Scarlett could be so angry at times. Yeah..that's pretty much Scarlett wrapped up in a neat little package. She knows how to manipulate people to get her way, and she uses it often. She has a lot of friends though, even though she doesn't really care what people think about her. She can be a little vain, checking her reflection often, you would think her mother was Aphrodite not that her father was Hades.[break][break]
She is a very proud girl, and when her pride is given a hit, it doesn't turn out well for her or the people around her. Those times she can be very mean and vindictive. Though past all of that, she is also just a girl and wants nothing more than to be loved and accepted. She is very clumsy though, and tends to hurt herself a lot, seeing her with bandages is not at all unusual, and in a combat situation, though she is good, if it's to do with bows and arrows, you probably will want to run even if she's on your side, you are likely to get an arrow in the butt on accident.[break][break]
She can have her moments where she wants to hide and get away from everyone. When she knows that someone is going to die around her, or that they are very near the brink of death it scares her. She doesn't want to see someone else she knows die in front of her eyes. She is very close to her brother Sean and will protect him to her own dying breath.[break]
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Lisbeth King was a beautiful woman, who had quite the affinity to death. She from a young age was always very intuitive, and she found that she had a pretty good idea of when someone was going to die. It was a horrible gift for a girl to have, but she was always able to be there when people needed someone to talk to in their final days. She used this to become a parapsychologist and would end up helping people in this world, and the next. Or so she claimed. She did, however, attract the attention of Hades because of this rare gift. She could see through the mist and knew exactly who he was when he came to her, and the two started quite the torrid love affair. Shortly into their relationship, Lisbeth found that she was pregnant, and several months later, Scarlett and Sean were born.[break][break]
Hades had told her that she would need to send the children to Camp Half Blood when they grew a little older because they would never be safe in this world without it, but Lisbeth didn't want to lose her babies. She and her best friend Joanna would take their children to play dates together, and Joanna always sensed that there was something different about the twins. When Scar was three and she produced a bunch of rubies in the middle of the yard that she and Sean were playing in, she knew that Lisbeth was hiding something from her. She kept her children away from the twins, and it broke the twins' hearts to see their friends taken away. Lisbeth saw that her children were losing their battle with the darkness that surrounded them and she knew that she would have to send them off to camp soon.[break][break]
The years ticked by and both grew more and more powerful, Scar accidentally summoning her dead grandfather on her twelfth birthday. Her mother, seeing how powerful she had become, knew it was time for her to go to Camp Half Blood. She tried to summon the twins' father to find the best way to get them there, and Sean overheard her and told Scar. Angry that she wanted to send them away she accidentally called up a fissure of hellfire upon her, and then, she was gone. She assumed that she was dead, and ran away crying into the night. After, she hardened her heart to just about everyone but Sean. He found her, crying and somehow, managed to run into a group of campers making their way back to camp after a quest, and they helped them cross the borders. They were claimed the moment they crossed the border by their father and were safely tucked away into the Hades cabin.[break][break]
While at camp, Scarlett met and fell in love with another camper by the name of Ben, a son of Hermes. The two were inseparable and spent many a day just hiding out wrapped up in each other's arms. It seemed as if nothing in the world could separate them until the battle came about. They both fought extremely hard during the battle, but Scar was injured pretty badly. A head wound that rendered her unconscious. Sean carried her off the battlefield, losing sight of Ben in the process. Somehow he found his way with her to New Rome, where he got Scarlett the help she needed, though she had lost all her memories. She has gotten enough of them back to remember who her brother is, as well as where she was and what she is, but that is all. She doesn't remember the love of her life, who as of this moment, still has not found her, as he searches for her, and believes her to be dead.[break]
Strengths: Knife throwing, unicorn riding, hiding, hand to hand combat[break][break]
Weaknesses: Anger issues, Archery, Her brother Sean, Memory Loss[break][break]
Scar has some pretty powerful magical abilities thanks to dear old dad. She has the ability of necromancy, so she can control the body and spirits of the dead like they were her own little puppets. Of course, if she does this it does wear her out pretty quickly. She can't do it very often, or she starts to pass out from the amount of energy it takes her to summon the spirits, and she can only summon a few at a time or she will black out completely.[break][break]
She also has the power of Ferrokinesis, meaning she can sense and summon precious metals and gemstones from the earth. However, if anyone other than her uses or tries to take them, it does put a curse on them. The curses vary, but none end too well for the person who takes them. Hermes kids beware! A lot of times, precious gems just pop up around her, especially if she lets her emotions take hold of her. Anger especially can make the gems rise, and she can't stop it. She can't control the power as much as she can the necromancy, and if she were to try to summon too much, it could really hurt her. She refuses to use any of the jewels she collects, as she saw what happened to people who have tried to spend them in the past. [break][break] Along with these two powers she also has the typical powers of a child of Hades. Shadow travel, hellfire, all come with the territory. Though the power she hates the most is the ability to sense when someone is about to, or just died. It's a horrible burden, and part of why she is such an angry girl at times.[break]
