Dream

The following message took place during a dream:

Dear Leonor Emmalyn,

We've only met once, when I told you that you were a demigod. But I now ask you for a favor. The arrows of Heracles have been found, and your aunt and I are too busy to interfere and search for them. If they have been stolen, as I fear, they could be used for great harm. Lead a quest in search for them, would you?

-Apollo

Prophecy

A child of the god of thieves,

The stolen must be now retrieved,

Face the dangers provided to get back,

For the weapons are deadly, for a fact.

Quest

Leonor walks towards the camp entrance, looking apprehensive and waiting for her other questors to meet her.

Kai: Walks up to her with her bag and looks around. Where's everyone else?

Leonor: Oh, Kai, you're here! She hugs her. I don't know...they should be on their way...

Kai: She nods and sits down to wait with a book.

Cait:yawns as she walks toward them Hey guys am I late?

Leonor: smiles. Not at all you're just on time. Now to wait for the others...she sits down beside Kai.

Connor: Hey hey, sorry for running late, girls.

Cait:yawns as she sits down next to leonor

Leonor: slowly stands up. That's alright, Connor. So, let's do this...um, the first order of business would be too...find out where we're going?? she smiles sheepishly.

Connor: I'd say that's reasonable, yeah. Is this everyone?

Leonor: Hesitates before answering, I don't know, Sopholcles might not be able to make it. She sighs

Cait: gets up with a sleepy face either way Leonor we need to go cause your dad is depending on you. K? Winks at leonor anyway shakes her head to get rid of the sleepy feeling I'm ready to go what about you guys?

Leonor: She looks back at camp for a moment, then sighs. You're right. Let's go. Perhaps we should just......trust our instincts?

Zee: Runs up and is out of breath. I'm sorry, am I late?

Leonor: Looks up. Oh hey, Zee! Nah, you're fine....we're just talking about it...uh, where do ya think we should head first? Apollo was kinda vague about directions...

Connor: No idea, whatsoever? No final destination, even? He seems doubtful.

Cait:Hmm well I might know something cause if I wasn’t mistaken my gramps told me someone found some ancient arrows in a dig sight a few months ago…

Kai: Puts away her book and looks at Cait. That sounds like a good lead. Turns to Leanor. Should we start there?

Leonor: A dig site? She hesitates then says, Well, maybe....I mean, it's definitely a start. Where is this site, Cait?

Cait:Hmm I think it was in athens....

Leonor: Athens? Greece? Well, that's not far at all, she says sarcastically. Hmmm. We could fly, if we came up with the money, her gaze drifts to Kai. Or we could sail there...

Kai: Smiles. I believe I can help with that if we can find something to sail in.

Leonor: Do you have anything in mind?

Kai: I don't suppose camp has a spare boat we could use?

Leonor: Eh, well, we could always, erm, borrow one. Just for a while... she looks uncomfortable It wouldn't really be stealing, I mean...

Kai: Thinks for a moment and then nods. It's a plan. Now all we need is a ship to borrow..

Leonor: nods. Any ideas, Cait? Connor? Zee? She looks at them all.

Connor: Well, I think my uncle sailed a bit on the lake in Chicago, but then we'd have to go all the way there. And he was kinda old, I have no idea if he's still alive or not...

Leonor: Bites her lip. Well, that's a possibility...anything else? She looks at the other two questers.

Cait: I think I can pull a few strings for a boat ..

Leonor: looks hopeful, Oh, how so?

Cait:A friend of my grandfather have a boat but she's in Spain soo....

Kai: Sighs. So we have boats we can use but no way to get to them...

Leonor: Which brings us back to where we started, which is nowhere.

Cait: sigh as she scratches her head guys what I meant was she's in Spain but her boat is here! well not here here but nearby....

Leonor: Perks up, Where??

Cait:At the nearby pier but our problem now is whose gonna drive it other than connors uncle that is?

Kai: I've never tried to sail a ship but I've read a few books on the topic. Along with a little help from my father I'm sure I can get us to Athens.

Cait:alright then, one problem solve. now how are we gonna get to the boat?

Kai: Glances at Leanor, waiting to see if she has any ideas.

Leonor: groans why are you guys all looking at me? She sighs. Um, well, taxi? The grey sisters?

Cait:a taxi? fine with me ..

Kai: Nods. Same here.

Leonor: So, uh, anyone have a phone? And the number for a taxi company?

Kai: I don't. What about you Cait?

Connor: Wait, you're saying you girls don't have phones? Everyone has phones in this day and age, jeez. Said it teasingly, and gets out his phone, handing it to Leonor

Kai: Rolls her eyes at him playfully. Well I'm sorry if I seem primitive to you for preferring a book to technology.

Leonor: Yeah, everyone has phones, except demigods, who tend to not do well with modern devies. She rolls her eyes and starts handling the phone. This thing has internet, right? I mean, she teases, who doesn't have internet on their phone these days?

Connor: I like to live life on the edge, what can I say. I'd rather have global communication and risk monsters than none, I s'pose. Clucks his tongue You should be sorry, Kai, it's so very primitive of you. Internet....eh, I might have cut it, I forgot.

Leonor: she shakes her head, Got it. And found the number. She dials and starts talking rapidly into the phone. After a minute or so, she hangs up and throws the phone back to Connor. Alright, got a taxi. Should be here....soon. In the meantime...she trails off and shrugs.

Connor: Catches the phone In the meantime, I suppose you could explain in greater detail what we're here for and such?

Leonor: Sighs, Okay, well, Heracles' arrows have been stolen by a demigod. I'm pretty sure he's not with the BC, but I suppose he could be. Apollo didn't really give specifics, as he's busy doing who knows what, but Cait said she's got a lead in Athens.....and Kai's nearly sure she can steer this boat that's at the docks. And that's mainly it, if I'm not mistaken.

Cait:yup that's about it..

Suddenly, as the five are waiting, a taxi drives to the edge of camp. The driver looks confused, as they're in the middle of nowhere, and he can't see the camp entrance, but he sees the group and parks next to them. What were you five doing out here? There's nothing..

Cait:Umm we're lost?

Leonor: Hides her laugh, Uh, Yeah, that's it....

Cait: anyway gives the driver a piece of paper we need to go there so can you take us?

The driver looks at the group curiously again, but sighs and agrees. Alright, kids, as long as I don't get in any trouble for this, hop in.

Leonor: Smiles relieved, Great! She gets in the taxi.

Cait: gets in after leonor and takes out a credit card hey if you get us there in record time I'll give you this credit card

Kai: Buckles her seatbelt and pulls her book out to read during the drive.

Leonor: Laughs as the driver quickly starts the engine. In that case, everyone ready? She looks at the other questers.

Cait: seats back and looks at connor hey connor are you coming or not?

Connor: Coming, coming. He climbs in and notices he's squished in between a bunch of girls.

Leonor: Smiles as she notices as well, and then shakes her head.Alright, let's go, then. To the docks! They drive off.

They drive for a while and arrive at the docks. Once they're there, the questers get out of the car and the taxi drives away.

Leonor: She laughs, That was pretty fast, Cait, did you give him the card?

Cait: Stretches and looks around Hmm the card yeah I gave him but I hope he doesn't find out that the credit card have a 5000 dollar limit anyway that's the boat points at a boat so come on

Leonor: stares at the boat, Oh, nice! So Kai, think you can sail it?

Kai: Studies the boat and nods. Pretty sure.

Leonor: Perfect! So.... she moves towards the boat uncertainly. Can we....?

Kai: Jumps into the boat and then turns to see Leanor looking hesitant. Hop on. She offers her hand to help Leanor and then turns to the others. All aboard!

Leonor: Jumps into the boat as well.

Cait: yawns as she comes by and hoops into the boat with some books Here's some book for us to read in case there's an emergency..

Kai: Prepares the boat and then glances back at Connor. Are you coming?

Leonor: Oh, Connor, you're always the slow one.

Connor: Sorryyyyy. It's just-- He climbs onto the boat --I thought I might save you from the prone to boat sickness only dude on this team that is me. He sits down heavily and holds onto the railing of the boat, trying not to look at the waves.

Leonor: pats his shoulder comfortingly. Don't worry, we'll be there before you know it. Right Kai?

Kai: Nods.

Cait:smiles Yeah connor we'll be there but if the waves really make you feel sick you can go below deck and have a rest?

Connor: Naw, naw, I'll be fine...

Cait:shrugssuit yourself looks aroundHmm there's no wind soo I guess I'll go to the store for a sec to get some food supply. Have any request?

Leonor: shakes head, I'm good....how long until we'll be there, anyway?

Cait:shrugsHmm a few days if we're lucky....anyway jumps down from the boat See you later guys walks to the nearby store

Kai: After Cait comes back with supplies, since the boat is all ready to go, all we'll need is some wind...or a strong current...

Leonor: How shall we get that?

Cait:comes back looking exhausted while holding whole bunch of food hey guys can you please help me?

Leonor: Rushes to help Cait carry the supplies, No problem, this stuff is great!

Cait:smilesI try my best anyway takes a few of the things lets bring these things onto the boat?

Leonor: Nods, probably should huh? She takes the rest of the things and brings them onto the boat.

Cait:gets on the boat Hmm looks around

Connor: A wave hits the side of the small boat and it tilts to the left, and Connor seems to go pale and slightly green at the same time. Damn, damn, damn...

Kai: Turns towards Connor with her eyebrow raised. Doing alright Connor?

Connor: He smiles weakly and gives a thumbs up. Sorry I've been such a weight to you guys. Hopefully soon I can be of some use other than looking green.

Cait:looks around umm connor I think your gonna be useful real soon...

Leonor: Why's that, Cait? she looks around and curses. Ohhhh.

Cait:sigh and turns to connor next time please think before you wish for something...

They see a horrible storm brewing, that seems to be coming towards their direction.

Kai: Well that doesn't look too good... Should we try to outrun it or hope it'll pass over soon?

Leonor: Hmmm, I'd suggest.....both.

Cait:nods alright then leonor goes to the pier to release the boat

Kai: Takes a deep breath and prays to her father before preparing to steer them away from the storm.

Kai manages to steer them through the worst of the storm, and the ship remains intact for the most part. The storm just about ends, when they see a small island on the horizon.

Leonor: Frowns, What's that? I mean, where do you think we are?

Connor: Stares at the storm Damn, I swear that was not me. I'll try my best to shift our luck, but this is big, I'm afraid...

Cait:cait goes down to find a map and maybe a few other things to help them steer their way

Kai: Turns to Leanor. Should I land us on the island?

Leonor: Shrugs, Why not?

Kai: Moves around the boat, preparing it for landing.

They land on the shore of the island, which is tropical and lushious. However, there is also something unsettling about the place.

Leonor: Hmmmm, well, maybe we'll find something here... she look doubtful.

Cait:goes to the island hmm weird this place isn't in any map..

Leonor: Oh, that's comforting...

Cait:goes to looks at the sorounding more closer

Connor: This place is hiding something, I can feel it in my bones....

He steps in front of the others and wanders to the left, and the beach ends abruptly into thick jungle. At the border, he pokes his head through the dense trees. His eyes widen and he looks over his shoulder at the others, now far away, and begins to shout something. But before he can, a gloved hand clamps over his mouth and both he and the hand disappear.

Leonor: She searches along the beach for a while, with the other questors, then notices Connor is missing, Um, Connor? Where'd you go? She looks worried. Great, should we split up and look for him? We might even find something important along the way.

Cait: umm ok...looks worried but still moved onwards to into the jungle

Kai: Begins to walk in the same direction Connor did, looking for him.

Leonor: After running and searching for a while, she finally hears a noise somewhere close to her. Connor?? she approaches the noise.

Cait:as soon as cait walk a few steps deeper into the jungle she went back to do some research this place is weird...

Kai: Looks around for a bit longer, but doesn't find any clue as to where Connor went. She turns back to check and see if the others have found Connor.

Leonor: Sighs, This is getting ridiculous! she hears the noise again and jumps.

Cait:cait was reading all the books she brought to find some clues about this place not realizing someone was spying on her

Kai: Finds Leanor and sees her looking slightly alarmed. What's wrong? The noise sounds nearby and she looks around nervously. What was that?

Leonor and Kai walk on a little further and see a cave.

Leonor: I think it's coming from there, she points at the cave. Perhaps we should go in.... she ventures forth, though she brandishes her weapon just in case. They enter.

In the meantime, the person who was spying on Cait takes hold of her roughly, and brings her to the same cave.
