Claiming:Camp/Brone Acheros

History: Brenda Archeros was 19 when her father died, and she was in so much pain she couldn’t move, cry, show any emotion at all. It was as if she’d become an empty shell, but a beautiful one. Her misery was so strong that it attracted Penthos, and when he saw how beautiful she was he decided to disguise himself as a human and introduce himself. He introduced himself as Peter Regenold, and he swept Brenda off her feet. He helped ease her pain, using both his godly powers and his love for her. He cared so much for her, but sadly their love was going to be cut short. Brenda had discovered that she was pregnant with Brone.

Penthos stayed with Brenda throughout the pregnancy, but decided the sooner he left the easier it would be for both of them. He didn’t dare to tell Brenda the truth about who he really was, in fear that she would hate him and possibly their child. So after she had the baby and while she was sleeping he left, never returning. But he did leave gifts for Brone;they were two rings that had the faces of a crying women on it. If Brone were to ever need it, then one would turn into a celestial bronze sword with tears of sorrow embroidered along the blade .The other would turn into a shield.He left a note on it asking Brenda to give it to their son.

When Brenda discovered that Penthos left she went into a postpartum depression.Although, out of her love for him she immediately put the rings on a necklace and gave them to Brone.Because of her depression she hardly ate, slept, and wanted to care for Brone. Brone was a beautiful baby. He looked almost exactly like his mother, except he had jet black hair. He was a baby, that only cried when his mother wasn’t. The tears from her misery seemed to soothe him, and this drew Brenda crazy. Slowly she lost herself, and began hating Brone.

When Brone was around age five his mother had finally snapped. She was crying, as usual; but what was unusual was how Brone behaved. Most children soothe their mothers when they cry, Brone just sat there and played with his toys. When Brenda asked him he could just play while his mother cried his only reply was “Your tears are something I’ve grown up with. They make me feel...safe” he said this with a smile of innocence. Brenda laughed hysterically and dragged Brone to the bathtub and tried to drown him.

Luckily they were living in an apartment at the time and their neighbors were home; the neighbors could hear Brone’s screaming and they called the police. The police came just in time; Brone had passed out, but was not dead yet. They took him to the hospital, then when he got better he was placed in a group home. His mother went to court and got insanity, so she was moved to an insane asylum.

Brone group up keeping to himself, so he had no friends. When he made ten, he asked the group home adult if he could go see his mother. He was told no, and he didn’t ask again. He began to get bullied at school, so he started to lash out at people. He found a joy in hurting people and began doing it on purpose to anyone that even tried to make contact with him.

When Brone made thirteen he was attacked by his first monster. It was a baby hellhound and right when it was about to attack his rings started to glow; as soon as he removed them they’d transformed into both a sword and shield. He slashed at the beast and finally defeated it. He wasn't a very good fighter;so by the time he’d killed it he was left with scratches and bruises, but they didn't seem to phase him infact he felt stronger. He was amazed by the fact that after killing the hellhound it turned to gold dust.

On his fourteenth birthday he got the group home director to take him to visit his mother. He asked her all kinds of questions about his fathers and the rings, but only got one answer “You look just like him, not in the face but in your soul.” After saying that she threw a fit and had to be subdued. He left with no answers and discarded the random comment about his father. A few months later he went through another attack.This attack was another hellhound, but older. It wasn't any easier than the first he had to handle, but wasn’t much harder either. While he was fighting it and after he killed it, police were driving by and whatever they saw it got him arrested.He got put on probation and his officer took an awful lot of interest in him.

When he was a few months away from being fifteen a fire breathing horse attacked him. He wasn’t ready or expecting it so when it kicked him with his hind legs he was knocked semi unconscious .The attack was happening behind his probation officer’s office, and when he came outside to see what the ruckus was about he wasn’t very surprised. His probation officer turned out to be a satyr; he helped Brone by giving him ambrosia and getting away. Somehow the horse was able to find them right before they made it to camp, but this time Brone was ready. He killed the horse only receiving a few minor burns, other than that they made it to camp safely. --RAAAAWR! I'm a mighty kitten! Oops! No I'm not, I'm just Astrid  22:43, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
