·§·Camp Half-Blood·§· 1x1 Sparks Fly and Fallen

[valiant.]

Eric let out a sigh of relief and Kyra slowly let her guard down, muscles still tensed. This state of Night's was quite breath-taking. It wasn't everyday you met a guardian that could morph into a giant water serpent. "This is Night?" asked Kyra, making sure. That latest thing that she wanted was to turn into fish food. Eric's legs had started to ache by now and the cold was starting to slow him down, along with Kyra. It would only be a matter of time before they became too exhausted and cold. The hail was also a problem, it was getting abnormally huge.

[wolfie.]

Paris noded slowly, opening her mouth to reply, but she was cut off by Tsume. "I hope you are planning to let us hitch a ride, because there is no way we will last long out here if we don't." he said. Though Paris was tempted to snap at him for cutting her off, she didn't, knowing what he said was true. "I suppose we have no other choice." she murmured, only just realizing her body was growing numb. "Down girl" she told Night, her eyes impassive. As Night lowered her giant head, Paris moved herself until she was at the base of the serpent's head. She began to try and decide if they could all fit there while Night took them the rest of the way. She looked over at the others. "If none of us mind, we can might be able to fit if squeeze just a tad." she said, launching herself up onto the neck of Night. She fought for balance as she climbed aboard. Once she had managed to get a good hold of one of the spikes, she slipped her soaking robe off and let it fall to the water. Left in her bathing suit, Paris sniffed, aware she would probably get sick on this trip.

Kyra and Eric modes in unison, as long as they were out of this water faster. Eric swam up to Night first, his eyes wandering up to Paris' face then Night's. He knew he could trust them both, he was just so uneasy inside. With a small push from Kyra he finally got his legs to move, slowly kicking in the water as he got a hold of one of Night's spikes and clambered onto the guardian's back. Scooching Closer to Paris he made room for Tsume and Kyra. Grabbing Night's side Kyra pulled herself onto the guardian's scaly back with ease. After recollecting her balance Kyra made room for Tsume. She was still shivering quite badly, Night was warmer than the water. Or at least enough to prevent her from going insane.

[wolfie.]

Paris smiled half-heartedly as Tsume got on to Night's back. Ignoring the chills that raced up and down her spine, and her noticeable shivering, Paris patted Night's neck. Below them, Night snorted once before moving forward in a fluid movement, her huge body surging through the water silently, only the sound of small splashes of water apparent. Paris wondered if any of them would break the silence.

Kyra Denault |*|Ares|*|Zephyr|*|Exhausted

"An ache I still remember.."

Kyra shivered and tried to keep her body away from the blistering wind. Looking up at the others she saw that Paris was in a swimsuit. A swimsuit? She had thought the other demi-god had changed into her clothes when Eric did. That was not good. Paris could easily have gotten a terrible cold by now. Kyra's thoughts were inturuptted when another piece of hail the size of a baseball hit her temple. Pain shot through Kyra's head and she feverishly rubbed her temple.




Eric Corrick|*|Apollo|*|Hosanna|*|Fazed

"We'll change the world.."

Eric rested his hand on Paris' shoulders as Night started to move throughout the water. "Paris? You should have kept your robe on.." he whispered in her ear. He frowned and looked at her body. That was not good. There was a whooshing sound and Eric ducked. A smack followed and he looked over his shoulder. A piece of hail had hit Kyra. Immediately she had looked dizzy.

[wolfie.]

Paris . Aphrodite . Nightshade
{Lightheaded}
Paris shook her head slightly, feeling dazed and exhausted already. "It was soaked. It would have done me no good to keep it." she muttered, glancing over her shoulder at him. "And besides, its too late now. I already got rid of it." she added, trying to sound unphased. She shifted in her spot uncomfortably before turned to see what the smack was. She grimaced when she saw that Kyra had been hit by a piece of hail, something she had managed to avoid so far.

Tsume . Hades . Titan
{Frustrated}
Tsume cringed, looking worriedly at Kyra. "How bad is it?" he asked, trying to look without touching. He had taken up a spot behind Kyra, and although it had saved him from the hail, he silently wished he had taken the seat Kyra was in, so that he would have saved her the ruthless pain of the hail.

[valiant.]

Kyra Denault |*|Ares|*|Zephyr|*|Dizzy

"An ache I still remember.."

Kyra removed her fingertips from tenderly rubbing her temple. Tsume snapped her back to cold reality and she looked over her shoulder at him, wet hair plastered to the side of her face. The scar on the left side of her face was slightly visible under her chestnut hair. "It's fine, it didn't hit that hard.." she muttered to him. A headache was starting to sear throughout her head. The hail was coming down harder and onther hit her leg.




Eric Corrick|*|Apollo|*|Hosanna|*|Worried

"We'll change the world.."

Not fully agreeing with Paris Eric nodded and released a hand from her shoulder to shield his face. A piece of hail hit it and he winced. Why was Zeus doing this? Did he feel he should all of a sudden be concerned about them and try to destroy them on the sea? Why wasn't Posiedon helping them? He started to shiver, how much longer?

[wolfie.]

Paris . Aphrodite . Nightshade
{Defeated}
"You are beautiful..."

Paris winced as a piece of hail slammed into her upper arm. Instantly, one hand flew up and she held her arm tightly. "Ouch" she muttered, shifting uneasily. Very cautiously, she changed her position so that she could shield herself easier. She cast one worried glance at the other three before turning back to look ahead of them. As far as she could see, the water was endless. Of course, she knew that eventually, they would reach land, but when?

"...In every single way."



·§·

Tsume . Hades . Titan
{Troubled}
"I can feel your heartbeat..."

Tsume grimaced, a look of worry and confusion on his face. Now each of them had been hit by the hail, he realized. "There must be some way to get out of this." he muttered to himself, knowing that seemed entirely impossible at the moment. What now, though? Were they simply supposed to wait until they finally reached land? They could be dead or seriously sick and injured by then if the weather - or Zues - kept up this way.

"...Running through my veins."

[valiant.]

Kyra Denault |*|Ares|*|Zephyr|*|Doubtful

"An ache I still remember.."

Kyra felt consciousness slipping out of her fingertips and her body start to grow limp. How much longer because she couldn't hold on much longer. The tips of her feet started to grow numb.. It was getting warmer? She opened her mouth to speak but she was too cold. Her headache was worse and another piece of hail hit her square in the forehead. Combined with the headache and cold this was too much. Shutting her mouth again she fell unconscious on Tsume.




Eric Corrick|*|Apollo|*|Hosanna|*|Worried

"We'll change the world.."

Eric shuddered violently and tried not to increase his grip on Paris' shoulders. The water around them lit and Eric jumped back in surprise. What was happening? It was getting warmer. There was a small thump and Kyra fell into Tsume. That was not good. The water around them was still lit and it churned around them, following Night as she swam. The water rose around them and shielded them, work of Posiedon.

[wolfie.]

Paris . Aphrodite . Nightshade
{Stunned}
"You are beautiful..."

Paris hardly noticed his hands on her shoulders. She was focused on what was going on around her, and it was when she realized Kyra had gone unconcious that the fear truly gripped her body. And then, the water lit up. Astonishment danced in Paris' eyes as she jerked back slightly. She watched as the water rose up, and didn't realize she had stopped breathing until her lungs started to scream for air, and she released the breath.

"...In every single way."



·§·

Tsume . Hades . Titan
{Anxious}
"I can feel your heartbeat..."

Tsume had already put one arm around Kyra when he realized she was slowly growing unconcious. When she finally went unoncious though, his grip tightened. Great. Just great. he thought as he held tight to her. He nearly jumped when the water lit up, but he managed to control himself, as to not let Kyra go. He glanced down at her with unreadable eyes before he looked around them as the water rose. He noticed both Paris and Eric jump, and then spoke. "Guys, Kyra went unconcious." he said, his voice laced with worry and his steel gray eyes dark.

"...Running through my veins."
