❛ The Big House

@[G] Adina Heather Her voice was familiar. Nicholas may not spend his time staring at people but he can identify a person through their voice as if it was their appearance, even if he only heard it once. This particular voice belonged to the Oracle; he should know, because quests were spoken by none other than her; but as Zeus’s son and with his desire to become a well-rounded leader, he must be socially aware of everyone even if he doesn’t socialize often. In fact, he never spoke to her on personal matters; he never spoke to anyone in that level.

The blind son of Zeus was really disappointed to hear that Chiron had a class. He yearned for a one-on-one training with someone who can teach him something by raising the difficulty. Nicholas shook his head, firmly clutching the extra bow he was carrying. “It’s best not to disturb his class. I thought we’d have a one on one but, it’s better for the camp that demigods get trained.”

“Anyway, thank you, Adina.” He turned away, about to leave until an idea popped. Nicholas still wanted that one-on-one training. He turned to her and asked “Hey, Do Oracles have their personal weapon? I mean, how do you protect yourselves? Do you.. want to train with---“ But the young man stopped himself, cynical at the idea of training with the Oracle. He liked the notion of her gaining the ability to protect herself but getting there would be difficult especially for a mortal.

“Never mind.” He decided with an apologetic smile. “I don’t think you’ll enjoy it. You’ll get bruised, scratched, muddy or even injured. Of course, I won’t let that happen. I CAN’T let that happen. That’s why you should forget what I said earlier. I’m sorry."

@[G] Nicholas Gasirkarov Feeling slightly uncomfortable in her own personal place in camp, Adina decided to pay the Big House a visit. After all, the attic was where the old host of the Oracle used to reside. Adina wondered for a moment why she couldn’t just live in the Big House as well—wouldn’t living with other people be better than living alone?—but she thought, maybe they didn’t want her to stay in a creepy place like the Big House attic, which now only serves as a storage room.

Unfortunately, though, the god Dionysus himself wasn’t in the Big House—and so was Chiron. Where the wine god could be, she had no idea; but she figured Chiron must be in his Archery class at the moment.

She had left the door to the Big House open. Just as when she was about to take her leave, a male demigod stood by the entrance. “Chiron? I think he’s in the Archery field at the moment,” she responded, playing with the hem of her shirt. She had been the Oracle for a while now, but to be very honest until now she still hadn’t familiarized herself with the campers—the demigods she used to think as only mythological characters from the books she used to read. “He must be in his Archery class. Do you want me to take you to him?”

@Adina

They all know where he is; and he knows where they all are. Every time Nicholas appears, a gentle breeze would meet those who are near him. It was the only way he could identify everything: once the wind hits something, he may not see it but he’ll know it’s there. However, it seems that the blind son of Zeus is struggling to find the only person who could teach him how to master the bow and arrow. Nicholas was already carrying an extra bow for the old man just so they could start right away.

He asked for another breeze to roam inside the Big House, but it wasn’t Chiron’s presence that he detected: someone shorter, and slender; probably a woman or a thin man. Anyhow, he worked his way toward the figure; his eyes were unable to look at him/her directly, because it had the same fixed gaze in a random direction.

“Hey... ummm,” He greeted with uncertainty, unable to determine how he would treat (with formality or not) the figure unless he hears his/her voice. "Have you seen Chiron? I need him to train me."

Sungyeol walked towards what seemed to be a normal apartment house inside the perimeter of Camp Half-Blood, the home turf of the Greeks.

He was unfamiliar with the surroundings. To think he only got here today, and that he had no idea what to do in here because he was NEVER familiar with whatever tradition the Greeks have...boy, he didn't know what else to do than wander around doing nothing but to look like a retarded ignorant who gets amused by every single thing he sees. Well, he's not surprised about it himself. Everything seemed so different about the Greek camp. The aura...is so not Roman at all.

"The Big House." He reads aloud the sign, then staring up ahead at the blue house. Obviously, it's big, he thought dryly. How weird it's called the big house. Things seemed a lot more modern in this place, yet so ancient at the same time. Oh, the irony.

Sungyeol wondered who lived in this house. There were so many cabins in the camp that he could barely pinpoint where he belonged. How wealthy the owner of this camp was! To think in Camp Jupiter, there were barely any cabins that separates each campers by their parentage. This camp, on the other hand, has different cabin per god. He couldn't help but be left awestricken of how each Greek lives ever so luxuriously to own their own cabin.

Shaking the thought away, he took off to wander somewhere else. He might find himself being skewered to death if he barged in. Who knows, a trap might be inside. He's still doubtful of the Greeks, anyway, after hearing of their so-called rivalry, and a sudden truce recently.

[IGNORE THIS POST.Just refreshing my mind just in case I forgot to write.XDDD]

----------------- SCENE CLOSED -----------------

At first, Krystal seriously had no idea what the whole bag concept was all about – not until the god himself explained it. Okay, so they’re only supposed to use it when needed – it means they’re only to use it during times they think it’s best for them to do so.

But what was inside the bag, she wanted to know. What if what they needed wasn’t really in the bag, or worse, won’t even fit in the bag? Will it just magically appear upon their command? Sounds pretty plausible, but does the opening of the bag even extend big enough?

When the god dismissed them, Krystal wordlessly walked to the door after the other two made their way back to the cabins. Stopping midway, she turned. “If it’s not too much to ask,” she hesitated, though she had no other choice. Chiron wasn’t even here for her, for them. “Please take good care of my cousins, Luhan and Taeyeon.”

With that, she turned to leave, walking back to their cabin. Might as well pack… and do her own farewells. As if she have friends, but… who knows? She might just bump into someone ever so important to her.

He waited behind the other demigods, watching Mr. D approaching a bookshelf while looking for something. He tapped his foot gently, trying to not making any noises as he wait; eyes glued to the wooden floor below him.

"Ah."

Yongguk quickly looked up, watching Mr. D took five books out from the shelf and inserted his hand inside a gap, taking three small bags. Nice hiding spot.

Hearing his explanation how important the small bag is, he nodded, emergency use, he thought and took one of the three small bags, returning Mr. D's crooked smile with his faint grin.

He nodded back to Sunggyu and turned around to leave the Big House, deciding to say his goodbyes to his brothers and sisters. It feels heavy to leave them, to be very honest.

"I suppose some of you still need to do some packing. Three days…"

"…isn't really that short."

That stopped Yongguk from his walks, and let out a silent sigh hearing those words. Three days isn't that short. He shrugged his shoulders lightly as he bring his duffel bag on his hand, continue to walk away.

[ LOL xDDD nice nice. A Roman demigod sneaking into CHB... to the Big House no less. OMG. XD ]

Nice place to hide things, Sunggyu thought as he saw what his uncle did. But his attention was quickly diverted by the bags on the table. What could that be?

What Dionysus said after giving them each one of those bags was even more confusing. Use it when you feel like you are left with no other choices? What kind of situation would that be? Not to mention it's just one-time-usage...

Nevertheless, Sunggyu nodded wordlessly, and he caught the other bag instinctively; luckily he didn't have to ask for an explanation. Though, he probably should discuss with the team later about how to actually use it... it /is/ ancient fare after all.

"Thanks, Mr. D." He said, again refraining from actually calling the god 'uncle' in front of everyone. "I'll be going first." And with a nod to the god and the other quest-takers, he began his walk away, the bags weighing his hand.

Though, what Dionysus said before got the particular son of Apollo wondering. Three days isn't really that short...

But is it, really?

[OTL I POSTED AS SUNGYEOL KLLJLSKJLKSHFLJKSHFLKJSFH XDDDDD]

The god walked towards the shelf located in the living room of the Big House and tapped his chin, looking through the books. Where have he placed it? Hmm...

"Ah." He smiled as he took five books out of the shelf and inserted his hand inside the gap, taking out three small bags. Placing the bags on the center table, he then returned the books to the shelf.

"These are special," he said, pertaining to the three, small, brown bags. "It will be useful to your quest, but make sure to use it wisely. Once opened, you can only use what is inside once." Handing them a bag each, he then gave them a crooked smile.

"I trust you three to be responsible enough to use what is inside those bags wisely." He added. "What is inside depends on...well, it depends on what is more useful. Use it only when you feel like you are left with no other choices."

Suddenly remembering something, he then fished for something in his pocket. Taking out another bag, he tossed it to the son of Apollo. "There," he nodded. "A bag of drachmas. I suppose you're the most responsible to hold that. Ancient fares is most likely to be used /only/ for such useful reasons."

"I supposed I filled you in enough for you to take off, no? We shall see each other later in the mess hall. Now go, you three. Time is ticking." Waving his hands dismissively, he gestured the three as he placed both his hands in his hips. "I suppose some of you still need to do some packing. Three days..." he paused, taking a quick, short glance at the daughter of Hades. "...isn't really that short."

Moistening her drying lips, Krystal made a mental note not to dwell too much on the dream the unknown goddess gave her. But the information was too much for her to take that she couldn’t even shift her thoughts away from the memory. It was too… tempting.

For someone who knew nothing about her mother, indeed the dream was enough to keep her wanting to know more. For years and years of coaxing her godly parent to tell her something about her mother, she knew nothing—only to know that the only way for her to find out is to accomplish this quest.

That is, if she could actually come back with the other two, safe and sound.

"I have something to show, or perhaps, give you."

When the god himself rose from his seat and beckoned the three of them to follow, it was enough to temporarily snap her out of her thoughts, as she made her way to follow the other two who was already behind the wine god.

The god has something to give them? Well, that’s kind of surprising. It was rare for her, since never once she saw the god this… nice. Perhaps, he just knew something about what might happen to them… or something like that. That, she will never know.

East. Okay.

Yongguk need to remember again about the prophecy, damn his short-term memory.

“We’re only given three days for our quest.” Krystal spoke, breaking the slightly awkward silence between them. Three days. It really hits Yongguk right on his brain and chest. He's nervous. What if they didn't make it only in three days? What will happen to them? Death? His mind rushed with all questions that popped out so sudden after she mentioned that.

"I have something to show, or perhaps, give you." Mr. D stood up from his seat and walked inside the Big House. Wonder what will he give to them?

Yongguk let out a silent sigh before picking up his black duffel bag and swung it onto his shoulder. After Mr. D walked in, Sunggyu followed behind.

Maybe this is it.

Yongguk followed behind Sunggyu and walked inside the house.

[........i'm totally brain dead omg]

Anything necessary?

Weapon, check - it simply never left him. His given sword from Ares was also ready to be brought.

"I got the healing foods from the infirmary already," Sunggyu said. "What I was thinking was where to get any form of money or anything else we might need... but on second thought, maybe that isn't exactly necessary."

He had a feeling it wouldn't be /really/ necessary this time. They would probably be able to survive. They've been trained after all.

As for the location, this he wasn't exactly worried about. Go east... if that dream he had meant anything, then he already had a clue as to where they'd be going.

But then Krystal's words sent a chill down his spine.

Three days? Just three days?

That sentence alone was enough to get nervousness seeping into his system. Though, he then decided to shove it away from his mind -- they can always think about deadlines later. It's useless thinking about a nearing deadline if they didn't know what to do.

And with a nod, he followed the god in.

Ah, this forever respectful nephew of his, Sunggyu. How the god would always be surprised how he'll always respect him so much. Then again, most children of Apollo aren't much like the other demigods, either. Perhaps, they inherited this from their father- or maybe not. Pfft.

"Yes. I was wondering what should we be bringing along with us when we leave." Sunggyu asked first. Tapping his chin, he then replied. "Anything necessary. I suppose you should know the answer you that, dear child." After all, aren't they demigods? Anything necessary. Anything "usable".

"And about the quest's exact location.. I'm completely clueless about the location. Except the fact that we're going to Human World.." The next question came from the son of Ares. Turning to him, he shrugged. "Argus should drive you to where you three would be heading off to." He nodded. "You must figure out the /exact/ place yourselves, demigods. A god like me is never allowed to interfere in such quest."

What surprised the god was when the last quest taker spoke - the daughter of Hades, the one who will lead the quest. “Three days,” she started. “We’re only given three days for our quest.”

Seems like she was given knowledge of something very interesting, the god thought as he caressed his newly shaved chin. Shaving is really, really necessary these days. Not that he cared looking young. It's better to look decent than looking like a shrub himself.

"Well, then." He gave them a nod. "Ah," he then remembered. "I have something to show, or perhaps, give you." Rising from his seat, he sauntered inside the Big House, beckoning the three to follow him.

Krystal barely paid attention to what their conversation was all about for she, herself, was lost in her own train of thoughts. Though, the next questions struck to her like lightning, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Yes. I was wondering what should we be bringing along with us when we leave." The question came from Sunggyu, the son of Apollo. She blinked, as if trying to process the question. What could the possible answer be, that except from their own weapons? Obviously, without their weapons, it’s useless, so what’s more to mention?

Nectar. Ambrosia. First aid.

Yet she didn’t speak. The god himself will be mentioning it, right? Oh, of course.

"And about the quest's exact location.. I'm completely clueless about the location. Except the fact that we're going to Human World.." This time, it was their other comrade Yongguk, the son of Ares. Oh, the location…

‘Death, War and Light combined shall go /east/ and see the darkness’

East. Obviously.

Though the words escaped her lips was not a question, but something they all should be aware of. “Three days,” she started. “We’re only given three days for our quest.” At this, her lower lip trembled in fear. Here it was again—the tremor, the nervousness.

"Is this how modern teenagers say these days?" That question sure tickled Yongguk's ears, making him lettint out a silent chuckle. "Modern teenagers says, 'What's up' not 'Morning'. I'm feeling a little bit polite today, Mr. D" He said, leaning his back onto the wooden railings behind him. He gently put his back down onto the wooden floor, relaxing his tensed shoulders. When he's back from the quest, maybe he'll ask Hephaestus's Childs to make his gunblade a little bit lighter. Well, that's IF he come back, alive.

"Is there something you wanted to ask that you seek my presence?" Mr. D asked again, actually many questions popped out inside Yongguk's mind, but Sunggyu already spoke first.

"Yes. I was wondering what should we be bringing along with us when we leave." The son of Apollo asked.

Obviously, weapon to defend yourself. Yongguk thought.

"And about the quest's exact location.. I'm completely clueless about the location. Except the fact that we're going to Human World.." He said.

Yongguk was already there, Sunggyu observed, and he could feel a familiar aura approaching; Krystal, his senses told him. It would seem that all of them were nervous, judging by their presence alone at the Big House this early in the morning.

Yes, even with all the preparations, even with all the goodbyes, even with all the tears, and even with all the blessings - of luck and of courage, Sunggyu was /still/ nervous.
Honestly speaking, he felt like a soldier going to war - to death.
Not to mention something in his head kept throbbing slightly with pain ever since he heard parts of the prophecy the night before.
There /has/ to be something... a connection, probably. But he'd have to find this out on the journey itself, if anything.

Following suit behind Yongguk, he gave a bow of his head to the wine god just after the greeting was exchanged between the two... before he was taken aback by the sudden question.

Can gods read mind too, he wondered.

"Yes. I was wondering what should we be bringing along with us when we leave."

The god sighed as he leaned his back on his seat, immediately sensing the three demigods approaching his presence. Ah, the heroes of the new prophecy. The heroes who shall prove themselves that they're not /just/ demigods, but the /best/ demigods of their generation.

Until then, he thought, I shall wait until they prove what they have to prove. So many things to encounter- so many challenges, so many disadvantage and advantages.

Taking a sip of his diet coke, he looked up at the son of Ares who came forth and greeted him first. "Is this how modern teenagers say these days?" He asked, raising a brow in amusement. "Then 'Morning'." He then greeted back, nodding at the direction of him and the other demigods behind him.

"Is there something you wanted to ask that you seek my presence?" Placing the can of diet coke down, he crossed his arms.

Krystal feels worse than yesterday. She felt worse than having no sleep for a week, only with the fact that she did sleep. The thing is, she received another dream. A different one. It was a dream as if the goddess was hinting her about something important.

Something useful for the goddess to make her do what she wants Krystal to do for her.

And to think it was nothing but about her parents… talking about her being separated from her own sister. Is it really a sin for a god to have two children of the same mortal for them to get separated? They didn’t deserve this.

All these years all she believed was… her mortal parent passed away. Just like that.

She woke up with a start, finding her way towards the Big House, only to see the two other heroes of the prophecy already there, along with the wine god himself. Seems like there’s a councilor meeting I wasn’t notified of, she thought, approaching.

Yongguk dragged his lazy feet to the Big House, the quest-takers was asked to come there after their breakfast. And screw the tiredness he get because the lack of sleep last night. Sharpening his gunblade until it's shiny and deadly sharp. "Oh my Gods.." He yawned as he brushed his hair back.

Today is the day, where he and the others will start their quest, the deadly quest. To tell the truth, Yongguk is actually nervous. A son of Ares. Nervous. But he also got this human side on his heart, it's unbelievable. He took the steps and looked around, finding Sunggyu is on his way here.

And Mr. D sipping his diet coke. Screw wine, right?

Yongguk fixes his bag on his shoulder and give Mr. D a quick nod. "Morning." He said.

Sunggyu almost didn't get a wink of sleep the night before. But then again, he had five years worth of sleep to compensate for that. Literally.

And that morning, he just walked his way through the Big House, intending to just ask whoever was there - well, if Chiron was absent then it has to be that uncle of his - of what to bring on the journey,because he honestly had no idea.

Though then again, when it comes to that particular wine and diet coke god, he had no idea if he'd actually get any clear answer...

Sighing, he just continued his steps to the sky-blue house. Where he began his 'new' life... would be where he parted with it.

The god sighed as he sat on a chair by the Big House's deck. Ah, today would be the d-day - the day those three will take off to face their challenges waiting ahead of them. He must admit, he was pretty impressed by himself at how he was /oozing/ with niceness last night in the Dining Pavilion.

Pfft. Niceness. Pfft.

He should be here, playing Pinochle with that centaur Chiron. Speaking of Chiron...for the sake of Olympus, that Centaur! His absence is affecting the camp, how could he!

With a sigh, he took a sip of his can of Diet Coke.

Holy Zeus, he can just imagine the entertainment ahead. Surprising how his thought can shift from one to another, but bah, he's a god anyway.

A god under probation, for the sake of Apollo's sacred cows.

[SEQUENCE: MR.D-SUNGGYU-YONGGUK]

@Suzy The thought of going out the camp, risking their lives for a quest… it thrilled Krystal. Even the memory of the particular goddess giving her a vision was enough to send her chills, what more if they’ll go out and seek the said weapon?

‘Death, sky and light combined shall go east and seethe darkness,’

Just that first single line…it was enough to put her whole mind in confusion, too.

If she was to lead this quest, will she succeed being a leader? Will they be able to complete the quest and get back to camp safe and sound, their team still complete? Perhaps, one will have to be separated. One will have to risk his or her life to save the other… but to think about death, and how it’s actually included in a line from the new prophecy… it’s too cruel. Death is cruel. Krystal knows that, of course, being the daughter of the Underworld king herself.

Thanatos isn’t cruel…but his job is. And to mention she didn’t actually know where the thought about Thanatos came from.

Krystal wanted to ask Suzy if she can see who, knowing the girl had the power over seeing the future and knowing other’s fate through her visions…but that would be too unfair, now. They have to walk alone by themselves, seek the meaning of the prophecy’s lines, and come back safely. Cheating isn’t allowed. Cheating has never been allowed, for it always have it’s consequences.

She was just about to say something when they heard the sign for dinner. Just the right timing, she thought. “It’s time for us to tell the others. Let’s go to the mess hall.” She attempted a smile as she straightened herself.


( ... and the continuation shall be in the mess hall. c:
we should talk about the sequence now, and the other
demigods to be involved in the conversation c: )

@Krystal Jung Suzy fiddled her silky hazel brown hair, thinking. The prophecy did really sound very dangerous, that's for sure. There is also a lot of possibility that the demigod's who are to go might fail. They won't be able to outrun the monster behind all this ‘chaos’ that easily, knowing that almost everywhere, the bad side has always had been in power, or it's what it seems in Suzy's eyes, just like in the movies. But this was reality, between life and death they shall go somewhere far, far from the protection that the camp can give. Once they step out of the camp borders, they will be alone, all alone.

She heard what Krystal had said though, Suzy turned her head to look at her, staring at her deep black eyes.

"I don't know." Suzy simply said, shrugging a little bit.

“I guess the others really deserved to know this before we start making a lucky guess…” Krystal said, sighing.

Suzy stared at the walls for a while, thinking what might be the best thing to do in the situation. "You're right. We should let them know." She finally said, looking at Krystal again, giving her a nod. "The sooner we tell them, the sooner we will be able to figure out who will be going to the quest." She added.

@Suzy Krystal wanted to believe it wasn’t a coincidence. She did. Because she always wanted to have a quest of her own – she wanted to be like those other earlier heroes who got a chance to save the world, defeat monsters, and blah blah. She wanted to honor her kind, the children of Hades.

But she knew children of Hades never once lead a quest.

At least, as far as she knew, that is. Never once she heard a child of Hades leading a quest, receiving a prophecy meant for him or her, which was kind of disappointing on Krystal’s side. She want honor to their name, yet they’re always the unwanted – the bad luck of Olympus just because of the fact that they were children of Hades.

But maybe this one prophecy – this one quest will change everything. Or something, at least.

Maybe this could give her a chance to prove herself.

“Maybe,” was all she managed to utter, but luckily, she found the words to say after. “Maybe this quest is for me. ‘Death, sky and light combined shall go east and see the darkness’.” She repeated the first line of the prophecy. “If death means me, then who’s the sky and light?” She wish she knew what the answer to her own question was. There was so many other deserving campers in the camp that they could barely find out who those other two were.

“I guess the others really deserved to know this before we start making a lucky guess…” She sighed, placing her hands on her lap.

@Krystal Jung Suzy felt the hesitation in Krystal's voice as she started off her story. She somehow hesitated on telling her. Which to Suzy's surprise, she didn't felt bad about it. Instead, she was in awe that Krystal trusted her with such things that meant something to her, something personal, confidential to others, at the moment of course. She'll tell the others soon and Suzy was aware of that. But still, Suzy was thankful that this girl, a mysterious girl was slowly putting her trust on her. Suzy gave her an encouraging smile and waited for her to proceed.

While she was talking, Suzy listened very carefully. She didn't bother to say anything until she was done. "I don't think that was a coincidence at all." Suzy said, thinking that it is impossible for Krystal's dream to be so related, so similar to the spoken prophecy. It's got to be something more than that, Suzy thought. A deep cavern on an island? A sword? 'a treasure from which a child of magic had made corrupted', a line from the prophecy that was recited a while ago, Could it be? It did somehow made sense, but still Suzy wasn't sure. Neither of them were. "It's got to be something more than that. It might be really /important/." Suzy said, emphasizing the 'important' part. "Demigod's dream are really significant right? It's not just any dream. It's a warning. A communication as i must say, based on what i heard." Suzy added, shrugging a little.

@Suzy Krystal nodded at her offer as she took the empty place beside Suzy, moistening her drying lips. Everything that happened today was way too…how can I put it, frightening, perhaps? But the idea of finally being able to tell someone what she saw on her dreams made her at least feel at ease. At least. It still doesn’t solve her uneasiness about what just happened a moment ago – which, she doesn’t really need to replay for anyone until dinner or after dinner. She was fumbling with the hem of her cardigan – which wasn’t really her – as she tried putting all the words together as if she was solving a puzzle.

“I think somehow, it has something to do with the prophecy you recited,” she muttered, her voice low yet audible enough. “I had a vision – no, someone gave me a vision days ago, but I didn’t bother telling anyone about it. Someone spoke to me through my dreams, showing me something, and I figured it must be a goddess,” she explained, “and she told me something about bringing her a sword which she showed me in my dream. A few details were a blur, but I was sure it was somewhere deep inside a cavern on an island, being guarded by a Cyclops.” Krystal has never felt shaken ever, until now. Until this happened. If somehow, this quest /is/ for her, how will she be able to accomplish it? She barely had experiences on missions after all. She just went back and forth the Underworld, without any certain reasons but train. Then again, this might be the sign that she needed to work out the training she had been undergoing all these years.

@Krystal Jung Suzy was about to head to the door for them to be able to tell the others about a prophecy that has been recited by the Spirit of Delphi. “First things first,” Krystal said, making her stop and turning to face her. "What is it?" Suzy asked, tilting her head to the side. “They might be shaken if we suddenly tell them. It can be announced later in the mess hall at dinner or perhaps in the amphitheater…” She continued. Suzy thought about it for a second, and found her suggestion quite right or as i may say, better that rushing to tell them right now, so she just nodded. "You're right." She simply said.

Thinking about the prophecy, did really made her nervous, scared even. Even for the fact that she wasn't even going to join the demigod's whose going to face the deadly challenges ahead of them. She felt scared for them, for those demigods. And she was sure that Krystal will be one of those, and it made her sad. Knowing that they are just starting for their friendship to work. She didn't want to lose a soon-to-be-friend. If only she can change the prophecy, she would. But sadly, it's /way/ impossible. Because what the oracle said, will only happen and cannot be stopped, her head's a mess now. So full of thoughts and a fog of worry. “But for now, I want to tell you something.” Krystal said, snapping her back to reality. And became quite curious at her sudden approach. "What is it?" Suzy asked, trying to sound casual as she head to the couch and took a sit. Preparing herself for a mind blowing story, just in case. "Do you want to sit?" Suzy added, patting the empty space beside her.

@Suzy “First things first,” Krystal held her back. She was still unsure about everything—why the Oracle spoke to her when they were just alone. Why not speak a prophecy when there are others? The idea of a Hades kid…going to a quest…It thrilled her. “They might be shaken if we suddenly tell them. It can be announced later in the mess hall at dinner or perhaps in the amphitheater…” she muttered. “But for now, I want to tell you something.”

She wasn’t sure if she can actually tell anyone, but Suzy’s the only one she had right now. Not that they were actually close, but of course she had to trust her. She had never told anyone about her dream—about a goddess speaking to her through her dreams and showing her a vision, not even her closest cousins know.

@Krystal Jung Krystal recited the prophecy that she was talking about the Spirit of Delphi said before she passed out. Though after hearing it, instead of feeling the familiarity of the words, nothing came up. Instead, almost every part of her body went numb and she got serious goosebumps. By hearing the last part, where someone is going to die completely frightened her.

"W-Wow" was the first thing that came out of .

"W-We should tell the others." Suzy suggested, struggling to get up from the floor. "And figure out what it means." Suzy added, who's now on her feet again.
