A R I N

You learned of your mother at a young age-- as a child of Athena, you were too bright for your own good. Your father, a professor cursed to see through the mist, knew enough about her. He refused to lie, and when you began to ask questions, he could not fall back on ignorance. It was a bit of a shame, as you were not an easy child to raise, and you got into trouble more often than you avoided it.

His academic career was not strong enough to withstand the threats of monsters and the raising of a child. He educated you himself, remember? You were a genius in his eyes! He loved you, he really did, but the stress made him feel unstable.

Something happened when you turn ten, do you remember? You moved from your home of Boston, Massachusetts where he taught at Harvard, to a small town in New York. He claimed that it was part of the expanding empire of New Hellas, and he thought you would be safer there. He dropped you off at the nearby camp with twin daggers, and left you there. Oh, no one believes he abandoned you. Your relatives believe you were sent off to a top-notch boarding school, and despite your rather unusual shyness, you chose to live at camp full time.

Your father still regrets the chaotic life you lived, Arin.

---

Today, it is October 2nd, 2015. It is a Friday, and you find yourself waking outside of your cabin.
'Where are you?' Half-Blood Archives: a rather new addition to the camp. You are not alone, thankfully. Two of your half-sisters, Neveah and Heaven, are curled into balls next to you. They are twins, and both believe themselves to be your best friends. They often do not talk, and are much like you in your first two years here.

Why were you asleep in the archives, though?

I was working on something, something about the history of Camp Half-Blood. Neveah and Heaven probably came in here last night and found me asleep. I don't usually fall asleep while I'm working on projects, but it does happen occasionally.

You should feel relieved that you are a daughter of Athena; your tame antics, and dare you say rebellion, could be dismissed as a scholar's project. If you were born to any other divine, you would surely have been punished!


A punishment would be troublesome for every camp member and leader, unfortunately. The harpies had been acting up, along with a few of the more rebellious nymphs. It would be a risk to send you to either of the two for punishment, as you very well may not make it out alive. Just another day in Camp Half-Blood, eh?

Your companions have yet to wake up, and if you look at them closely, you will see that they are curled around some of your research! Beneath the smaller twin lies a thick notebook, each detailed line of notes scribed in careful ancient Greek; the other lays a top rolls upon rolls of blue prints. Surely, they did not collapse on your work?

It seems that they had come to help you in the middle of the night. They had not understood your exact goal for research-- even the brightest find themselves confused with lack of sleep-- but they were eager to help.

Do you remember what project you were working on? Specifying that it was on Camp Half-Blood would mean little these days. Any veteran would pick up on the fact that there was a subtle layer of chaos beneath the general camp cheer.

In fact, a great many of your brothers and sisters were the cause of that chaos. As peaceful as your cabin can be, no child of Athena would stand by upon finding out that your delegates for the councils of New Hellas and Olympus were found dead.

The question is, did your research have to do with their deaths?-- Better yet, do you know anything about the councils?

My project was on the history of Camp Half-Blood, mainly on it in other countries in the past, or at least, some of it was. The rest is mostly on the Camp system, so that any information left out of what we give novices now may be included. My research also did delve into the councils, but mostly just my trying to put together a simple explanation for how they work. I mostly focus on history, so I have done some studying on the fact that the delegates for the councils of New Hellas and Olympus were found dead, but from a historical point of view.
In short, most of my studying is on history, and figuring out how to add recent events to history.
(Whatever you didn't understand about Alex's CS, PM me with some elaboration and examples of what confused you, and I'll explain it.)

((It just wasn't concrete, and didn't really make any sense. There isn't enough to send in a message.))

Surprisingly, you are one of the few people to focus on that particular subject. Even among your siblings, the idea of researching your demi-god history is discouraged and considered to be rather bland. It is not considered a challenge, though you would probably disagree.

You learned from research into the newest incarnation of demi-god communities, however, and could be considered an expert. If only this information would come in handy.

New Hellas is, to put it simply, an invisible country in your own birth place of the United States. It partially run by two delegations of demi-gods, with one being located in a town just a small distance away from the camp, and the other being located in New York City.

It would best be compared to a smaller version of the Senate and House of Representatives, though it aimed to reach a more 'Classical' audience.

Rather recently, your four main delegates were found dead. As they were all relatively young-- the oldest being twenty-two-- it is doubtful that it was anything beyond murder. However, no information is available on their deaths, and there is hardly an on going investigation.

If you remember correctly, the only major publicised point was that elections and nominations for replacements would be on October 2nd.

Isn't that today?

I stand up, looking to see if I can find a clock. I need to know the time, so I can see if it would be reasonable to wake the twins up so I can get my journal and see if I put the date in it last night.

Unfortunately, there is no clock, and you are left to guess for the time. A small amount of light streams from dust-caked windows, and you can lightly hear the drum of feet beating against hardened dirt. The Head is the Archive is not yet here, so you know for a fact that it is not yet ten. However, from the noises and light outside, it could be as early as six.

I decide to wake the twins up anyways, so I grab their shoulders and lightly shake, pulling away afterwards, not wanting to be bitten or something on instinct. You never know how demigods react when shaken awake. I, for example, warn people to shake the bed I'm on, not my body. Learned to do that after I heard about one Camper getting bit on accident when I was new here.

As you begin to shake the twins, it pops into your head that these two may have been the culprits behind that biting incident. They are extremely anxious.

Fortunately, you are quick, and able to avoid any injury as the two awaken. You easily dodge the flailing fists of Nevaeh, and the well-aimed kick of Heaven. Their tanned faces flush with embarrassment as they calm, though neither makes an effort to apologize.

"Huh?" The two mumble.

"Well, I wasn't sure what time it was, so I woke you two up. Did you come in here last night? Last thing I remember is studying for what I'm currently working on, and beginning to feel sleepy and wondering if I could sneak back to our cabin."

The two exchange confused glances, each one scratching at short, honey blonde hair. "Huh?" they repeat awkwardly.

There is an awkward silence, but neither you nor the twins break it. You begin to suspect that they have zoned out-- it is tough to talk to the two, as they frequently disassociate from reality, and when they are focused, they talk together.

The squeak of a door seems to startle them, and Nevaeh begins to ramble.

"Wewereherewithyou," the younger girl gushes out. Her twin quickly steps in as she takes a breath. "Wewerehelpingyou,remember?"

"Sorry, I forgot, I was tired last night. Don't even remember falling asleep." I reply, glancing towards the door, one hand instinctively reaching for Wisdom. I quickly pull my hand away. I'm in Camp, for gods' sakes, I highly doubt an attack could happen here.

The twins have a slight smile on their face at your comment. Guilt flashes through the grey eyes of the Neveah, while mischief flashes through the dark eyes of the other. They appear to know something, though neither is willing to share, and it would be tough to retrieve information from two girls who rarely spoke apart.

The floor seems to shake as the previously squeaking door slams shut. That was a sign, and if you were not still tired, perhaps you could remember of what. It is just out of reach--

A small part of you tells you that you should, in fact, retrieve your dagger, while your reasonable side once again argues against it. Even with the growing distrust between the harpies and nymphs, you are near positive that they would not attack! They may be negligent, but malicious attack was out of character even for them.

The next squeaking sound is from one of the twins. They want your attention.

You nearly miss the opening squeak of the door, as the twins are now talking in their own high-pitched voices.

"Don'tyouwantto--"
"Lookatyournote--"
"Book.Wemadealot--"

You think you hear the muffled sound of shuffling feet against rough carpet. You know for a fact that the noise is not from shoes, but neither is it from human skin.

"Ofprogress,lastnight."
"Doyou--"
"Remember?"

It almost resembles--

"Ar--"
"--in!"

Fur?

I take a look at my notebook, keeping one ear open for the shuffling sounds. I don't think it would be wise to take immediate action, but rather to gain information, if possible.

If you were look up at the twins, you would see an almost guilty smile exchanged between the two.

---

The pages of your notebook are scribed in ancient Greek, with not a centimeter being free of your tiny letters. In fact, if you look closely, you will see that there are two layers of writing on each page. To spare paper, one set of words are written vertically, while the other is written horizontally. It was a trick you had learned from the Renaissance Era (?).

The plastic tab to the right says that the last page of notes was done on October 1st-- that was yesterday.

---

You hear a giggle from the twins, and the shuffling grows louder.

go away nerd


You see the motions of nervous hands from the corner of your eye, as you turn the page. You are positive you did not continue your notes, as the traditional plastic marker you placed at the end of each day's work was to the right. It was crooked, but the pink section was not missing. Still, a daughter of Athena could never be too careful. Perfection of scholarly pursuits was long ago mastered.

To your surprise, the molted white-yellow of the following page was not empty. The giggles grow, and you soon realize that their amusement stems not from something funny, but their own surprise for you.

The pages are filled with the conjoined lettering of the girls. The language is some dialect of Greek you are not entirely familiar with, but could easily puzzle through, and their cursive lettering is large. Within each large loop and curve you see notes written in the light shade of pencil.

"Wecontinued--"
"Notesforyou--"

You can be certain that the shuffling is also carrying the sound of rough carpet strings rubbing against matted fur. It grows ever closer.

"Becauseyou--"
"Wereasleep--"

The girls paused their ramble for a joint scream.

I draw Wisdom, and stand up. Keep a cool head, Arin, it wouldn't do to panic, I tell myself. I begin to speak in a low voice. "Neveah, Heaven, stand up, back away slowly, leave, and tell someone we may have a problem in the Archives. I don't care if you have to wake up the entire Camp to get help, just go. When you get outside, don't walk, run." With that, I crouch to look under the table.

You are protective; while this could be considered a rather admirable and noble trait, this could get you into a lot of danger in a more serious situation-- of course, you cannot be entirely positive that the situation is not just that: serious.

It was a shame that you took up the space between the shelves and racks that lined each wall. There was, of course, a series of platforms and beams to allow access to the upper most shelves, and even small gaps not evena foot tall above each shelf. Still, these could not serve as an escape for your charges without time, and-- from the corner of your eye-- you can see that the two do not seem willing to leave you.

Even in a place such as Camp Half-Blood, it was common for weapons to be carried around within reach. Hell, the stories of Percy Jackson often ended up with him saving himself from certain death only because of the sword that rarely left his side. You were no exception to that rule, and-- fortunately-- the girls were not either. They quickly slid along a bookshelf into a standing position, before drawing their own weapons.

Nevaeh held a weapon of her own design, based loosely on a battle staff with both lethal and non-lethal components; she was known to have connections to the Hephaestus cabin, which ultimately allowed her to place her plans into action. Heaven drew a series of her knives-- each with adjustable weights-- and, if you remembered correctly, she also was known to carry around some other weapon.

You peer beneath the table, crouched down in a position that would allow you to easily dodge any incoming strike. Unfortunately, the 'attacker' launches at you from your right side. You are able to avoid the blunt of the attack by rolling under the table. You hardly can pick up on the blur of black fur barreling towards the girls.

I let loose a shout, one that hopefully will draw attention from outside. After all, people should come to investigate if they hear someone shouting in here, right? I pull out Foolishness, now wielding a dagger in each hand. I step forward, trying to stab the whatever it is before it can reach the twins. I'm aware they're armed, but I'm not going to stand idly by. I would hope they wouldn't if this was reversed, so I won't for them.
