Echo sighed and put her sword down, leaning back on her hands, “It’s hard to tell.” She said, “Something like this hasn’t happened in years, so the whole camp is on edge.” The daughter of Aphrodite shook her head, “The last thing we need is for everyone to start accusing each other.”

Blaze glared at Frances before rolling his eyes. Her statement was obvious as to what she was implying, yet he didn't deny her unspoken claim, which proved him to be more guilty. "Don't say a word," he grumbled through his clenched teeth. As they walked into the Hephaestus, he threw up his hands as the girl just yelled into his cabin, not caring if anyone was trying to relax. He shook his head then turned his body toward Kyo's bunk and found his half-sibling laying there. "Kyo, do you mind if I talk to you about something?" Blaze asked, the fear levels causing his stomach to spin and knot itself. “Mm?” Kyo turned slowly to position himself to look at Blaze. It took a bit for him to sit himself up, ignoring the faint protest of his muscles as he gave a polite little tilt of his head. “You want to talk about something?...Is everything alright?” He turned lightly, having heard the call of Frances and offering a tentative but small smile of greeting. “And hello, Frances.”

(Can do!)
Aedie threw his staff onto the ground, sweating in the midday sun. He felt exhausted, worn from his recent return from a long journey but already wishing he was back on the road. Camp could make him feel so stifled sometimes that even the perilous danger of the outside sometimes seemed preferable. This was one of those times, and not even sparring out his frustrations was helping.
He grabbed his hydro and sat in the warm dirt of the training grounds, taking a deep drink. Ice clinked loudly against the insides of the cool metal container. The camp was a bit quiet today, a bit under-crowded, maybe still reeling from the recent monster invasion he’d heard about through nervous gossip. Part of him was almost anxious, knowing that something so fundamental was wrong that monsters could breach the camp’s defenses. Another part was frustrated that he missed a good fight.

Kal wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead as he headed to the training grounds. He had just returned from a warm-up run, but was fully intent on spending the afternoon training. Upon entering, he noticed a staff resting on the dirt, followed by an unfamiliar face.
Kal didn’t usually like to bother people when they worked out, but seeing the staff on the floor made him curious. After a moment’s pause, he approached the guy, lifting the staff from the warm dirt.
“Wanna spar? I could use a partner.” He asked, a smile forming on his mouth. Due to recent events, everyone seemed to be on edge — even this guy had a certain vibe about him, but this only made Kal more curious.

Aedie lowered his thermos, glancing in disbelief from the wooden staff in the stranger’s hand to his grinning face. This guy was tall — annoyingly so, and seemed to be frustratingly unbothered by the heat. After a few moments of silent staring, Aedie took another sip, brows furrowed as he contemplated the quickest way to get this stranger to leave him to his brooding. At the same time, however, he still felt an itch to fight — maybe beating this guy into the ground would help him feel a little more comfortable.
“Do you even know how to use that thing?” Aedie said, looking pointedly at the wooden bo staff and making no move to get up from the dirt.

Chiron nodded, “I can see that.” He said, moving to get out of his wheelchair form, “Very well, I’ll show you around the camp and take you to Demeter’s cabin. I’m sure one of your half siblings will be willing to show you the schedule for camp activities.” He added, stepping off the porch and motioning for Kylin to follow him.
Nakita shook her head, giving Blaze and Frances a light smile, “It’s alright, you didn’t ruin anything.” She said, looking at Blaze, “Go find your siblings, they’ll help.”

Kal almost laughed in disbelief. No one had ever questioned his capabilities before. Normally he would be annoyed — irritated, even, but this time he was exceedingly amused. Kal loved nothing more than a good challenge.
“Why don’t we find out?” he asked smugly, passing the staff between his hands nonchalantly. “Get up.”

Surprised by the authority in his tone, Aedie blinked up at the weird stranger, now tossing the staff between his hands as if it were a toy. Flustered, and without letting himself think too much about it, he tossed aside his hydro, quickly stood, and snatched back the staff, irritated even more by his suspicions being confirmed about this guy’s height. Whoever this dude was, he was tall. And almost annoyingly confident.
“I —” Aedie paused, swallowed. God, it was really hot outside. “Fine.”
Reluctantly, he held out the wooden staff.

Echo sighed, “That’s what I heard as well.” She said, shaking her head, “I can’t shake the feeling that something big is going on here.” She added, looking over at Josie. Children of the Big Three were really powerful, so if someone were to try and kidnap them, there had to be something big in the works. Echo thought about how the monsters attacked not long after the game had ended and frowned, “Someone is definitely planning something.” She muttered.

“Good” he said, grabbing a staff from one of the racks nearby. Kal stepped back, now seeing how much smaller this guy was... he wondered if it would be a fair fight — not that it mattered to him.
Kal grounded his feet hips-width apart and held the staff with an over-handed grip, positioning it diagonally across his body. “Go easy on me, I’m a bit rusty” he joked.

Frances smiles widely at Kyo's greeting and she gives an enthusiastic wave in response. "Hey Kyo! You feeling any better?" She asks as she steps further into the cabin, noticing how careful he was with his movements. Before Blaze can answer his question, Fran quickly cuts in. "Something super cool happened at the lake with Blaze, tell him!" She told Blaze with a knowing nudge, grinning as she looked between the two half-brothers. “As better as I could be, all things considered.” Kyo murmured, tired but assuring as he nodded to Frances. He shifted a bit, a little unprepared for all of the sudden noise in the cabin. Even so, Blaze seemed rather out of it, and Kyo wanted to help him if he needed it.

Blaze took a quick glance at Frances, but ignored her for the most part. "I wouldn't describe the experience as cool. Rather quite the opposite," Blaze said with an awkward laugh. He raised his hands to be in view and watched as his hands grew a tomato red color. Suddenly, his hands began to smoke then a few fingers caught fire. Blaze's eyes went wide and a gasp exhausted from his mouth. "Umm... Yeah, definitely not a cool sensation."

Kyo’s eyes widened, recognizing the familiar look of the ability that he and Pheonix shared. There was another? Kyo felt a tremor of surprise and unease. According to legend, children with this ability were rare. One was rare, two were incredibly rare, but three?...The dark-haired boy wondered if this was a sign, of danger to come, when such a mass of Hephaestus kids were gathered in one place, with the rare abilities.
Even so, Blaze looked rightfully confused and overwhelmed, and Kyo preferred to calm him instead of frighten him. He looked at Blaze and nodded softly. “Pyrokenesis. It seems that you have had an affinity for it...though you must have discovered it very late. Ah...it is alright. The flames will not burn you, but they are a part of you. It’s...rare, but for us? It is a natural part of our bodies.”
He exemplified by lifting his own hand, a ball of flame flickering to life and crackling above his palm.

"Yeah that's not what happened down at the beach, but this is pretty freaky," Blaze mentioned. "I've seen you and Phoenix practice before, but I was just glad to have good building skills like father." His eyes switch back and forth between the fire in his hands and Kyo's hand. He didn't really feel the flames, just a small sensation. He listened to his sibling recount how the flames were a part of him, not just an entity that he conjured up. "I assume I don't get hurt from the fire, but anyone else can if they touch it?"

“Mm? What happened at the beach?” Kyo tipped his head, looking curiously at his half-brother. He closed his hand, the fire receding as Kyo nodded lightly. “As for the other question...yes, the fire will burn others as normal fire would. Though, I have heard some of the past who mastered their abilities, could control their fire to burn only those they desired to be burned.”

Josie nodded as she listened, her gaze on Echo but she seemed to be zoning out as her thoughts raced in her head. “Gods. I just can’t shake the feeling that something even worse may happen.” She spoke softly, her brows knit together with her expression at a permanent frown. “I really wish we had more information so we could actually do something about it instead of sitting around until another bad thing happens.” Josie said with a groan, now leaning back until her back hit the ground with her hands on her stomach.

“We were making sand castles and while Blaze was building his, his hands did that and turned the sand into glass.” Frances explained to Kyo once she was able to pull her eyes away from the flame he produced in his hand. While she wouldn’t admit it out loud, Fran was a little nervous about being so close to fire. Her plants died quickly from flames so she can’t help but feel a little on edge. “Overheated sand will melt into glass.” Kyo nodded, seeming to understand what was occurring. “It seems like...well, since you’ve never known about it, and are untrained with it, you activated them on accident. The intense heat would have affected the sand...I’m guessing you were focused on the sand alot, and...the fire found an outlet.” He tried to explain.

Blaze gave off a small laugh and his nerves relaxed causing the fire to disappear from his hands. He reached up with his hand, slowly rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah definitely was concentrating on the sand," Blaze mumbled. He stole a glance at Frances, making sure she would not reveal his secret to his sibling. His mind was racing miles as Kyo was explaining how the sand turned to glass.

“Now that you know though.” Kyo’s voice turned a bit more serious, as he looked at Blaze. “You are going to need to learn to get full control over your abilities. If something goes wrong, and you lose control...I can tell you that it will be horrendous...” He hesitated for a moment, before he shook off the memories and righted himself again. “I’m going to be doing more training myself when I can...perhaps you can join me, and Pheonix, if she agrees.”
