⋰ half-blood hill

half blood hill.
half-blood hill is where thalia's tree is located(though she has since vacated the lot, rent price provided upon application!) and where the famous golden fleece is threaded through the trees branches. peleus the dragon sleeps under the tree to protect the golden string.

a popular activity, particularly for new campers, is to see how close you can get before peleus wakes up. it's a pretty chill hang out spot too; great for sunbaking and looking over the long island sound.

@j. soyeon Admiring the tattoo for a moment before pulling back, Felix nodded slowly. “So are you guys born with the tattoo, or do you have to have it as part of your military thing to keep on top of who has which relative?” He asked, really growing quite curious about it now. “Like, I could literally say I’m a Hade’s kid - nobody would believe me obviously - but we don’t have tattoos to say who our godly parents are.” With a nod, Felix continued on. “Right. That’s why they teach us to fight. The second we get there, gods know where a monster will show up.”

The Persephone boy looked almost excited as they neared the forest. It was spooky, very spooky, but he /loved/ seeing all the plants untouched and thriving. It was only then he’d figured out that his sword was currently laying on his bed discarded for while he was wandering about. Maybe it was best not to bring that up? “Sure! Let’s keep moving, it’s rare monsters come to the thinner part of the woods because the Apollo kids tend to be really good at archery, but probably best not to stick around and tempt The Fates.”

With those words he strode forward, as though he was returning home after a long time.

@l. felix “Yes, grandfather.” Soyeon replied, pulling up the sleeve of her jacket to reveal her SPQR tattoo with a laurel wreath drawn over the letters to show Felix “My dad was a son of Phoebus— That’s Apollo for you. I don’t have all the cool abilities some of my cousins have but I did get a pretty wicked intuition for medicine.” She shook her sleeve back down, slipping her hands into her pockets as she continued on “To be honest I was pretty surprised to learn that legacies aren’t a thing here but I guess once you leave the camp, you don’t have any protection, do you?”

She hummed as Felix told her about a little bit more abut the fleece, twisting to look back at the tree for one last glimpse of the shining thread “Ahh.. That’s pretty cool. I still want to get my hands on it” Soyeon laughed.

When she looked back ahead a moment later, she realised that they’d come up on the forest faster than she expected; the giant fir and oak trees looming above them. Suddenly she didn’t feel so keen on going in. “Jeez, this place gives off some nasty vibes” She said, her left hand instinctively jumping to her hidden bag. She probably should have brought her Gladiolus with her but.. whoops, too late. At least she had her little bottles of poisons with her. “Ok well, this is all you now, lead the way, Lix!”

@j. soyeon Confusion seemed to be a thing that hung over everyone these days, Felix realised. It was very strange that none of the Roman’s knew why they were there - if the girl was telling the truth - and a little worrying. Was something bad about to happen? Had something bad happened to their camp? He shook his head to himself, as though to shake his worried thoughts out of his head. Whatever it was, they’d figure it out eventually. “I see.. let’s hope someone knows what’s going on soon!” He stated optimistically. They had to remain positive! “Grandfather?” He inquired, his head tipping to the side. He’d forgotten for a moment that the demigods or ‘legacies’ from Camp Jupiter just had to be related to the god or goddess. He’d gotten so used to everyone having a godly parent instead of grandmother/father.

“Oh, right, The Fleece! We’re not really supposed to touch it at all, and the dragon would probably get grumpy if we tried.” Felix mused with a soft hum, thinking a long time to himself. He’d gotten someone to tell him about the Golden Fleece, a long time ago though. “I’m pretty sure the tree kept a sort of barrier up around the camp, to stop monsters getting in. The tree got sick though so some people went to get the fleece to heal it and keep the barrier up.”

@l. felix “Honestly? Your guess is as good as ours.” Soyeon replied to Felix’s question, glancing towards the beach that reminded her of some not particularly pleasant memories. “For me? I was in our camps apothecary. I blinked and suddenly I was standing on the beach over there in my armour. Pretty much everybody else said the same thing..” She trailed off, her eyes glazed over with the sudden onslaught of thoughts that ran through her head. “!” Soyeon shook her head and suddenly smiled, giving a thumbs up “Let’s do it, cutie, I’m down for a good adventure.” It seemed getting lost in her thoughts was becoming a more common occurrence nowadays especially when thinking about the beach; sometimes hours would pass by her without her realising it. It was unnerving. “Lady Proserpina, I like to make my offerings to her after my grandfather. Your mom is the reason for so many herbs and plants for my medicine.”

“So explain to me this Golden Fleece thingy. How does it protect the camp? Do you guys ever get to touch it?”

@j. soyeon “Mhm. You might want to ask a couple people to come with you though. Don’t want to get eaten by anything,” He chirped, his eyes bright despite those rather dark words of warning. It was true though, it’d be a very painful death out there- Felix smiled at her, and shrugged one of his shoulders. “Ah, I wouldn’t mind that. And I don’t blame them, it was scary for everyone to suddenly have you lot rock up here. Why did more or less your whole camp decide to come over here, anyway?” He inquired. After all, that seemed to be the biggest question around. Why had these romans come to hang out at Camp Half-blood? “Lee Felix, one of the kids of Persephone. No clue what you guys call her,” He introduced, raising his fist to give a gentle bump before he pocketed the hand again. “Are you going into the forest right now? I could do with a wander around, to get away from the noise down there,” He waved a hand back in the direction of the cabins and new tents before continuing, “So we could stop each other getting eaten if you are.”

@l. felix “The forest? good to know..” Soyeon hummed, straightening up and brushing her lower half clean of any natural debris. The forest that she had heard was full of monsters? Uh, yeah, not on her own would she be going in there. And a golden fleece? Never heard of it but something about it was positively enigmatic, she wanted to get her hands on it and see what the big whoop was about. Pretty boy seemed friendly though, maybe he could be helpful in the future “You should show me around sometime, cutie, there’s not a lot of your lot that are particularly friendly to us.” She said, sauntering over to the boy with her hands in her pockets. “I’m Jeon Soyeon, legacy of Pheobus though you guys call him Apollo. It’s nice to meet a nice face around here, it’s kind of rare” She smiled, holding her fist for blondie to bump.

@j. soyeon “You’d have to check the forest for scales,” Felix suggested, shrugging one of his shoulders. “I’m guessing he loses them from time to time. Why would you want dragon scales?” He inquired. He had to admit, he’d never thought about taking any scales before. Maybe she wanted them for jewellery? Or to decorate a weapon? The corner of his lips twitched into a little grin after he watched her jaw drop just a little. He’d seen many people get confused over his voice in his time. The flower boy looked back over at the fleece, as though musing over it too before it struck him. “It’s the Golden Fleece! I’m pretty sure it keeps our barrier healthy, or some sort of tree healthy, but it stops monsters raiding the camp for demigods,” He explained slowly. Maybe he should brush up on his camp knowledge at some point, he’d forgotten most of what he’d learnt about the place. “Ah, Peleus - I think that’s his name - protects the Fleece in case anyone does anything to it.” Though Felix didn’t mind all the questions he was getting, he wasn’t sure how much use he’d be at answering them all accurately. At least he’d figured out that the stranger had to be one of the Romans, or a new Half-Blood camper.

@l. felix [] :D <3

"Aw, that's a bummer. He looks kinda sweet." She replied with a huff, wrinkling her nose "Guess that means no dragon scales for me." Soyeon turned her head and blinked, her jaw dropping just a fraction. What the Tartarus was such a deep voice doing on such a sweet face!? "Oh.. Um-" Soyeon closed and turned back to the dragon, staring at it for a second before looking back at the guy. "Sheepskin? I thought Fleece was white or grey, whatever the sheep colour is. Why is it gold then?" And also.. "Why is a dragon guarding it? Is it special to you guys or something?" Soyeon knew she was just barraging the poor guy with questions but like, what the in the Pluto was this camp all about?

@j. soyeon () Stealing this because I really need to be more active! ^^;

Quite early in the afternoon, Felix was taking a small walk about the camp. With the new Camp Jupiter people wandering around with all their weird military role things, he needed to get out of the places where so many people were wandering around. Apparently peace wasn’t destined for him though, when he spotted the poor old dragon that guarded.. something. He’d forgotten to ask what exactly what it was, but from what he’d seen it was a sheepskin, coated in strings of gold. Anyway, for a few moments he just watched the person from a safe distance, dearly hoping he wasn’t about to watch some random person get fried. “He’s guarding the sheepskin. I wouldn’t recommend touching it by the way, he might be angry if he gets woken up,” The young man answered, creeping just a little closer in hopes the woman wouldn’t prod the dragon, who’s name he believed was Peleus, or something like that. “You definitely wouldn’t be able to pet him like a cat.”

[] short and sweet so it can be open to anyone!

Soyeon sat back on her hunches, staring at the sleeping dragon curled around a giant fir tree. It was so, so tempting. The dragon was practically taunting her to poke it with a stick but something inside of her told her that it'd be a pretty bad idea. Still.. "Hmmm.." She hummed, folding her arms across her knees. She could see her secondary prize too; a string of gold glittering in between branches of the tree. She had no clue what it was but Soyeon wanted to touch it. Even with the danger of being burnt to a crisp by the dragon. Dragons weren't around in Camp Jupiter so this was a first(apparently there was a mechanical dragon somewhere in the forest? How cool!); she was also kind of tempted to see if she could nab a scale or two and mix it with the ingredients in her little apothecary satchel that she always carried around. The hair on her neck stood up but she didn't move as she spoke to the person who had wandered up behind her "So what's the deal with this dragon? Is it friendly? Can i touch it?"

@k. matthew Seonghwa didn’t hesitate to let Matthew pull him into his lap, humming delightedly as he wrapped his long limbs around his sorta mans waist and neck. “I don’t think you’ve been paying attention” He teased back, watching Matthews tongue drag across his lip; very few people managed to capture his attention the way that Matt did, even from the very first day, Seonghwa had liked the older male. He had, what he liked to call, ‘good vibes’.

It also helped that Matthew seemed particularly susceptible to his mannerisms.

“Mmm, but you get all angry and intense when I watch you in the combat arena” Hwa pouted, trailing a finger down the centre of Matthews chest; he had a particular weakness for buff men and Matthew managed to tick every box. “I kinda like that side of you, wanna see it more”

“So, you followed me out here?” Seonghwa questioned with a tilt of his head “Did the sight of my hypnotise you or did you actually wanna talk about stuff this time” Seonghwa couldn’t help but snicker, with them, it went either way, it really ended up coming down to what Matt was feeling in the moment though, if Seonghwa was right, he could guess what the other male probably wanted.

@k. matthew “No, and you need to stop asking.”

Seonghwa’s lips thinned as he twisted away from the girl, annoyance simmering in his veins like toxic acid. It was conversations like these, where somebody expected him to do them a favour purely because of his talent at ‘persuasion’ as he described it, that drove him ing nuts. Seonghwa seethed as he stormed off from the infirmary entryway, his mood casting a foul cloud over him. He’d been waiting patiently to hang out with a, ahem, friend, of his when this girl(and Seonghwa didn’t even know her name, how ridiculous was that?) requested his help by doing something he didn’t particularly want to do.

And now? Seonghwa stalked away to where the forest and half blood hill met to create a little private haven far away from all the interruptions posed at Camp Half-Blood. He’d felt eyes on him as he left, and his gut told him that Matthew had seen the general direction he’d headed in.

If he knew Matthew, he wasn’t far behind.

And he wasn’t, Seonghwa ducked behind a tree as he glimpsed his partner walking through the treelike, a delightful little idea popping into his head. He watched silently as Matthew glanced around the clearing, biting his lower lip as he heard his name called out but did not move. He stayed behind his tree for a few moments before quietly moving.

Coming up behind the buff man, Seonghwa leant over and covered Matthews eyes with his hands, tilting his head back and cooing a sweet “Guess who” before pressing his lips to his sorta boyfriend, sorta not, it was a bit messy really(more of a long term fling) but his lips curled into a smile when he shifted to sit on the log, his hands drifting to cup a sharp jawline. He parted from Matthew with a wet smack, his lips of any lingering taste of the man next to him. “Did I keep you waiting long? Or should I have waited a bit longer? Get you all bothered and grumpy with me?” He teased, wrapping his arms around Matthews shoulders.
