((Hi hi Flicker(ing?) I just read your charrie Elliana and noticed she's a daughter of Minerva, so thought I should maybe slide in here that Minerva is a virgin goddess like Diana :'3 ))

Jacob shrugged. “ There’s such a thing as a breakfast pizza. It’s real. Really good, too. I’ve had it.” He grinned. “ So, three months, eh? Obviously not a Probatio. You liking it at Camp Jupiter here?” 'Legionnaire of the first cohort.' Aquila replied, smiling slightly. 'And... yes, I suppose?' He mumbled. 'I don't really get along with very many others in my cohort- they're... very...' he trailed off, searching for the words. '...robust? Over confident...?' He awkwardly said, not sure why he was telling Jacob this.

Hailey grinned happily as Connor was smacked in the face by chocolate milk. “ Karma! Bye, Gwen!” She turned back to Connor and shrugged. “ I guess. We just need to be back for the War Game.” Burleigh shrugged. “ I guess I should learn because my power may not work on everyone. It’s better than improvising.” "Great, let's go!" He said, throwing down the soaked towel and leading the way out of the mess hall.

Aquila quietly dropped his gaze, his action making it clear that he didn't exactly feel like being snobby was necessary- to him, it was rude and agitating, and he hated it whenever the first cohort would win something- most of the people in it would relentlessly brag about it or tease the other cohorts for losing. He silently finished his breakfast, then began to twiddle his thumbs, still feeling intimidated by his half-brother.

((Hey guys are prophecies spouted by Ella the harpy in CJ?))
Aquila glanced at his tattoos and immediately felt even MORE intimidated and under pressure to prove himself as a son of Jupiter. He honestly felt useless; he couldn't control any of his powers, he had no leadership skills, he had anxiety... he was everything that a son of a king should not be. And he especially didn't want to show up the Praetor by being so useless. Not to mention one of the old praetors, Jason Grace, was also a son of Jupiter, and HIS feats were unbelievable. He had a legacy ingrained in this camp. He swallowed tightly glancing around the room. 'That's nice.' He replied, unable to really think of anything else to say to him. 'Uhm... I have sword training in twenty minutes... I should... go.' He said, straining to get his words out.

Aquila appeared to blush at being called 'brother', and even seemed a little moved by it. He packed his things up and got to his feet, feeling a weird urge to want to make Jacob proud. He quietly glanced at him then headed out of the hall, towards the training arena.

((Maybe Eliana and Aquila since they're in the same cohort? We can move on with the sword fighting. Also, I'm working on a little prophecy and a plot point for a quest, if that's okay with you? ))

Aquila passed by and then quickly backtracked, nervously assessing the girl and smiling slightly. 'Elliana?' He hesitantly called. 'We've got sword fighting practice. Do you want to head down with me?' He nervously glanced at the other kids that were there, but felt a little more at ease now that Jacob wasn't around.

'I've been here three months, Elliana, I know my way around camp.' He awkwardly replied, hoping she didn't think he was stupid or something, because that's how he felt at the moment. He almost regretted telling her. He began to walk, taking out a roll of bandages to start wrapping his fingers and hands and forearms- protection for them and also to hide his tattoo.

He blushed deeply at her correct assumption, and dropped his gaze with shame. He wasn't sure why, but he felt it was okay to speak to her. 'I... I feel... pressured.' He nervously mumbled. 'As though everybody is expecting me to be some... massively powerful demigod, who could lead an army into battle without any inhibitions.' He nervously fidgeted with a loose piece of bandage. 'And not to mention my- my brother is the Praetor, and has been here for... what...? Seven years...? They all look up to them. It's... it's scary, and... I can't... do it. I'm not strong, and I'm not... I'm not brave- I can't lead. I'm cowardly.'

Elianna smiled sympathetically. "When I got here 7 years ago and learned who my mother was, people always came to me for advice or to learn something, but I didn't know what to tell them. I didn't enjoy all that attention, but it slowed down, and I got used to it. I wasn't up to anyone's standards way back when, but now, I am. I learned my butt off, and people slowly lowered their standards for me until I proved myself for the lower standards. Now, people come to me to vent and advice, and I gladly tell them what I think is best." She paused and ran a hand through her blonde hair before continuing,"Believe it or not, but when Jacob came here 9 years ago, and these are stories I've heard, he wasn't the best or the strongest. He was almost like you, insecure and doubtful once he learned of his father. He learned to step up to the plate and be a leader. He didn't think he had it in him, but deep down he did, and maybe you do, too. Just believe in yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. Jacob didn't always compare himself to Jason even if he did make references to Jason."

Aquila listened to her and hung on her words, extreme relief slowly starting to flood through him at what she said. He looked away and ran a hand through his hair, wondering if he would ever amount to something... in time. He relaxed after a while and gave her a friendly, more open smile; the warmest he'd ever given anybody in his cohort- in fact, it could have even been his first. 'Thankyou, Elliana... I needed that.' ((Just a quick WIP bloodrose97art.tumblr.com/post/155598164155/a-wip-which-will-be-finished-tomorrowI'll have it done tomorrow though ;3))

She is, but she springs her offspring off from her mind. It’s weird, really… ] Oh, you can still call me Flick if ya want. ] Jacob chuckled. “ Yep. You’ll get there eventually, Aquila. First Cohort is the best of the best, so get used to the almost snobby behavior of some of your Cohort-mates.” Hailey got up and followed Connor out. " Where are we gonna go?" "I was thinking we could check out the forest, see what we could find." He replied, opening the door.

((I've made a prophecy I'm making sense of the plot rn but here's the prophecy; Sons of the King away will find, Terror and pain to wreck the mind, Seek for freedom chains unbind, Long-lost child of eldest kind. Retrieve the weapon of Chaos wrought, A Fang of which despair was brought, Lest war and illness shall be fought.))

" You're welcome. Seems that has relaxed you a bit. So, are you good at sword fighting?"

[ Sorry it's short. x.x ] ((Thanks! I've finished it but cba to upload it yet lol)) 'Uhm, not particularly.' He said, face falling again. 'I can't seem to get the hang of it. I've tried all kinds of swords- not just the standard- but I'm terrible with all of them.'
