Lilith let out a shaky breath as she looked away from him, “I know the dead speak.... ,” she trailed off holding her book tightly to her chest as if something was bothering her. She looked uncomfortable talking about this subject, “I’ve experienced it.....and tired to block it,” she whispered.

James turned his head to the side and said," There isn't much to tell sis." He then started to twirl his walking stick and said," For the most part I am just working on mastering my spear more than I already have."

Valen gazed at Lilith with a look of understanding, a calmness overcoming the Hades Counselor. “Does it frighten you, my sister? I...know our abilities are not as cut and dry as the others. The blood of Hades is a responsibility that bears down heavily on us...I have some teas and incense that can help calm you, if you would like.” He offered.
“That’s good to hear. I know how hard you’ve been working on your reaction time. You and Cat have the best hearing in the camp, it’s easy to see.” Evelyn spoke fondly of the other blind camper in the camp. Cat was skilled in magic, as James was skilled in spears.

Finn chuckled and splashed her again. “I’ll make you smile today, I promise you that.” He smirked. He was enjoying himself, Phoenix wasn’t half bad.
Jacob rolled his eyes. “Yeah yeah.” He said good naturedly. “Conner probably in the forest where he usually is.” Shard nodded and headed that way. “Come on guys.”
Pierce watched Tatum leave before heading up to his own cabin to get ready.
Drake walked into the kitchen to grab an apple. He saw some people in there and hesitated a moment before stepping inside and grabbing his apple. “Hey.”

Ben headed off to his cabin to get ready and grab his weapons.
At this time, Spencer was just arriving at camp and looked heavily at the large arches welcoming her to Camp Half-Blood. She looked at her mother who encouragingly nodded on. “Mom...I’m sorry,”she said softly, her eyes momentarily welling with tears.
“Sweetie, don’t worry okay. You have nothing to apologize for. I’m proud of you. Don’t worry about me,”the lady said, her eyes kind as she squeezed her daughter. “Be strong,”she said,”don’t look back”the lady kissed her forehead and sent her daughter forward.
“I love you,”Spencer said gently and then turned to follow the satyr through the arch.

James smiled as he said," Well we blind folk have to try harder than everyone else if we wanna prove are selves." He then frowned as he asked," Hey is it okay if I tell you something?"

Chiron stood at the porch of the Big House, waiting for the saytr that had told him he had found another demigod child. He smiled warmly at the child as she approached, "Hello. You must be Spencer." he greeted.
Phoenix rolled her eyes at him and swam further into the lake, "I doubt it." she said.
Echo grinned at Kumiko and started for the forest.
Connor was at the edge of the forest, practicing making plants grow faster.

“I think so.” Finn moved after her, manipulating the currents to propel him along after her.
Shard called once he got to the woods. “Connor!”

Spencer composed herself as she approached Chiron, “Yes. That’s me, I’m Spencer...and you’re Chiron?”she asked. The girl was tense and standing straight as a rod, it was clear that she was making sure that she came off strong and was doing her best to not show any vulnerability.

“Oh! Hey, Drake!” Evelyn called, having heard Drake’s greeting. The son of Nike was always a face that the girl liked to see, he always seemed by himself often. She invited. “I’m making some chicken, if you want some. Just a few minutes wait, is all.”
She turned to look at James then, her smile quirking into a curious line as she nodded. “Hm? What would you like to tell me, Jay?”

James put his hand up and said,” hello there, we were just waiting on a chicken to finish up.” Honestly it annoyed him a bit, he was enjoying hanging out with his elder sister.

Lilith didn’t speak for a moment before letting out a small breath, “Most spirits....most of the dead I can handle.... it’s the darker entities I can’t. They always seem to follow me,” she looked at her brother frowning. Trying to keep herself from seeming weak she held her book tighter until her knuckles were white.
“Ever since I was little they have whispered in my ears. And I couldn’t stop them.... they hurt people I cared about and in turn me in the end. I tried to block them out ever aspect of them but then it feels like I’ve lost a part of who I am....and a part of our father,” she told him being honest.

Valen listened patiently, the search for his book forgotten in preference to helping his troubled half-sister. “Ah...I think I know what you are referring to. Entities like that can be cruel and unforgiving. Do not feel as if you are wrong to try and disconnect, if they crowd you too much.” He looked at Lilith with assuring eyes.
“This is why we are here. To master our abilities, to control those entities so they can never control us again...I have a new request. Will you allow me to help you, in fighting these unwanted spirits?”

"That's me." Chiron said, giving her a smile, "You can relax, dear, you're safe here." he added, noticing how tense the girl was, "Did your mother by any chance tell you who your father is?"
"Alright. I got in the water. I swam with you." Phoenix said, staying still for a moment, "Can I leave now? I need to get ready for capture the flag."
Connor looked up when he heard his name, "Here." he said, looking back at the flowers that were growing with his influence.
Echo heard Connor call out and nodded in his direction before moving towards his voice, "I'm starting to think you live out here in the forest." she said when they finally found him.
Connor rolled his eyes at his friends, "It's quiet here." he said.

“I....,” Lilith bit her lip for a moment before nodding her head, “If it will help me then what do I have to loose,” she looked at her half brother. Her grip on her book relaxing slightly as she took a breath she hoped she could control this part of herself. All those years being tormented a shudder ran up her spine though trying to suppress it. She wanted to be able to fully connect to all aspects of herself.

Finn pouted at Phoenix. "Fine"He sighed. He guessed that was fine. "Guess I better get ready also." He used the water to shoot himself back to shore, standing on the shore.
Jacob look up at him. "Come on we want to go explore before capture the flag!"
Drake nodded to Evelyn and james. "Thanks but I don't want to intrude." James seemed annoyed with his presence.

Valen nodded once. “I’d be a lousy counselor if I couldn’t at least try to counsel you...The ways of the dead and the darkness are...complex, at least, I assume it’s that way for you too, yes?” He asked. “I...enjoy meditating, and training my communication during the early evening. Would you like to join me, tomorrow evening, Lilith?”

“Oh, that’s not a problem! I like company.” Evelyn chuckled, giving James a fond but knowing nudge with her hand, knowing how personal such things could be for the younger camper. She smiled a bit when she saw Drake look her way, always a bit enamored by his eyes. She shook the thought away and spoke.
“We’re all friends here, after all, and I have plenty of attention for the both of you. Do you want lemon, or barbecue?” She asked James, and then Drake.

Spencer swallowed at the question, although the calm demeanor of the man calmed her down a bit. “She...”Spencer hesitated and swallowed before drawing up the courage. “She said it was someone powerful...that his name was Zeus...this...Greek God...I learned about these things in school, I learned mythology, I just...I saw creatures. Creatures that came after us and...All of this just feels like a lot...my life was different a few weeks ago,”she said softly, obviously overwhelmed. She was still in a state of shock. She understood it, and she believed what her mother had told her, and things started falling into place and making sense for her as she learned more. But it was a lot to process. Including the fact that this person in front of her was half man and half horse.

James sighed as he whispered," Sorry Evelyn I don't mean to be rude." He then managed to gather the oranges from before and started to juggle again.

"Wait, you're actually going to be playing?" Phoenix said, chuckling, "Now that I got to see." she added, getting out of the water and putting her socks and boots back on.
Connor sighed and stood up straight, "And where were you guys planning on going exactly?" he asked, looking at his friends.
"Just into the forest." Echo said, "Maybe we can scout out a good spot to put our flag for the game tonight. The Athena cabin managed to get all of our cabins on the same team this week." She added. The five them always worked well together as a group, ever since they had all started hanging out together.
"It's gonna be fun tonight!" Kumiko said, grinning.
"Ah, Zeus." Chiron said, shaking his head. The children of the big three always had the most monsters after them, "Come with me and I'll show you around the camp and get you settled into your cabin. You'll be able to train and get better at defeating those monsters." He led the girl into the camp.

“No it’s really ok.” Drake felt super awkward. “I’ll just take the apple.” He nodded to them before turning to leave. He really didn’t want to cause any problems.
Jacob smirked. “Ares won’t know what hit them!” He laughed. “It’s too bad Chiron doesn’t let me use my elaborate traps.” He sighed.
Shard looked at him. “Last time he did I almost lost my leg!”
Jacob huffed. “It was an accident! Just a malfunction...”

“Sure I would like that very much,” Lilith nodded her head, “Thank you,” she smiled slightly. She relaxed a little bit feeling like maybe she would be able to control this part of herself. She wouldn’t have to be so fearful half the time or shut herself off.

Spencer just nodded quietly and followed after Chiron, listening as he spoke. “So..we really learn to fight the monsters...what about my...powers? Will I learn to handle them?”she asked softly.

“Oh, you boys and your awkwardness...Well, I can’t force you to stay, Drake, but I can save you some for later, if you like.” Evelyn offered kindly, a hint of assurance in her voice, as though she really wanted to give him something.
Valen offered a small smile and a nod, a rare sight from the usually reserved and calm young man. He held out his hand, letting wisps of shadows swim along his skin. “Many would claim this to be a curse. Always remember that to us, this is anything but. The power we can create and control? It is beyond the normal understanding. Beyond the base elements. If we can master this, Lilith, imagine the potential...We will never have to be prisoners to the voices if we make them our own.”
