14 offspring of Man and God,
will travel to 14 locations,
to retrieve Olympia's sacred symbols,
from the clutches of Gaia's creations.
Four Ancient Elders of the Earth,
whose glory had died along with simple Man:
The former holder of the Flame,
The 'long fortress' made of stone,
and the birthplace of the ancient Games.
Four Structures of the Earth,
whose architecture was forged by Man:
The former Lair of the Titans,
The tower of Love and Fame,
The castle of U.K's monarch,
and the Bridge unlike its name.
Four Landmarks of the Earth,
whose beauty remains untouched by Man:
the snake-like river,
the garden fit for the Gods,
the grape-vined yard,
and the vast hills of sand.
The final Two,
set in the place no Man can set foot upon,
at the Doors of ever-lasting Life,
and the Doors of Death.
In this section of the quest, you will be retrieving Athena's, Ares's, Hermes's, Hephaestus's symbol of power: the Aegis, the Spear, the Caduceus and the Axe. You will travel across the world and meet many challenges, many enemies. But you will persevere. That is why you were chosen for this quest. Use the prophecy to guide you along your way. Now, go, demigod, and good luck to you!
*Unless you are Thomas A. Malachai, Edeline Laire, Cole Pilfer, Sunshine N. Martin, or Alexandra A. Mason, you are NOT supposed to post in this thread!*
Crew Member's Message: There will be at least one crew member coming along with you on your quest, to guide you or monitor you to make sure you'll be playing by the rules. If you have any questions, ask that crew member or post your question in the OCC thread.

 Cole was the first one to arrive at the borders of Camp Half-Blood, waiting for the trucks to take them into the city. He leaned against Thalia's Tree and waited for the rest of his group to arrive. As he waited, he fingers his dagger. It wasn't necessarily out of nervousness, more out of... anticipation?
A few minutes after, Edeline climbed up the hill, panting slightly. Cole's sharp eyes sighted her and he grinned. "Well, ain't 'chu carryin' a big load? Whatcha doin, movin' out o' the camp?"
Edeline smirked, putting a hand on her head. "You know, this stuff might very well come to save you one day," she shot back.
Curious, Cole sauntered over to Edeline and peered at her pack. "Oh, really? And what izzat?'
She smiled and opened it, pointing to each of the items and naming it. "A jacket, to keep you from freezing to death. An energy bar, to keep you from starving to death. And a few others, just to keep you from death."
Cole let out a low whistle. "You are prepared, ain't ya. Well, I don't mind, as long as you keep me alive. In turn, I keeps you alive, howzit?" Not waiting for an answer, he continued on, "Anyways, when's our beloved group members gonna come anyway? My dad ain't waiting for nothin.'"

Sunshine Nicole Martin
Daughter of Hermes indent Sunshine walked up to the hill where she was told to go. There was her brother that was on her team for the quest and one of the girls that she didn't know. Sunshine looked the exact same she did in the Big House. Hard expression, bright red hair, big green eyes, black skinny jeans, bow and arrows, and her favorate camo tank top under her leather jacket. The only differance was that she had her adoptive father's lucky hunting hat and a small bag that held everything she owned. Sunshine nodded a hello at the other two on her team and sat about ten feet from them just waiting for theis thing to start.

Cole noticed the other girl, one of his team, approaching, and ducked his hat to her in reply. Edeline, with her back to her, gazed at Cole with a confused look, then followed his line of sight. She noticed the other girl now, and jumped with surprise. She hadn't heard her approach.
"Oh! Um, hey..." she said. Then, noticing the girl's attire, and her barrage of questions started. "You fight with a bow? Are you a daughter of Apollo? No, you must not be, I haven't seen you before. Mmmm, a Huntress? Are you a Huntress? No, I don't think we have a Huntress in our group, unless... Are you in our group?" Then, realizing that the girl could be just a bit uncomfortable, she blushed and murmured a soft 'sorry.'

Sunshine Nicole Martin
Daughter of Hermes indent Sunshine looked at the girl that was talking to her and raised and eye brow at her and looked at her bow. "I'm not a daughter of Apollo. Or a huntress. My adoptive dad used to take me and my sister on hunting trips. This was the bow I used." She said looking at the girl under her adoptive dad's old hat. "Imma daughter of Hermes and I am in your group." Sunshine said to her. "I'm going for Ares." ((Sorry it's so short...))

Cole let out a low whistle and poked his head out from behind Edeline, as if he was little kid hiding behind her. Which, he was not. Actually, he stood at least 6 inches taller than the Apollo child. Cole grinned once more at his new-found sibling and said, "Hermes, eh? Spectularus. Haven't met one o' my sis's yet. Cole Pilfer's the name. Charmed t'meet ya."
Edeline frowned, thinking hard. Then her eyes widened, and she hit the palm of her left hand with a fist. "Oh, you're that girl! Sunshine Martin, wasn't it. It's a beautiful name. Though, with that name, I'm guessing that people guess your godly parent as Apollo first, am I right?" she said with a slight smile. Then, continuing on, "Oh, no matter. You've already met Cole - he's a son of Hermes, if you didn't already notice - and I'm Edeline Laire, daughter of Apollo. We're both going for Hermes's item. It's nice to meet you!" Edeline held her hand out, and smiled a friendly grin at her new group member.
((np. ^_^ You're writing is way higher than the guild standard, anyway.))

 Thomas A. Malachai; Athena Thomas sprinted toward the border. In one moment, he was suddenly lying face down on the grass, just before the camp borders. He forgot about the root of Thalia's tree. Darn.

Sunshine Nicole Martin
Daughter of Hermes indent Sunshine smiled her bright and kind smile that gave her her name in the first place and laughed slightly at her brother and the girl, Edeline. "Thanks." Sunshine said to Edeline when she complimented her name. "A lot of people just call me Sunny, though." She added. "And I'm really not mistaken for a Apollo kid... I don't think." She said her hand rubbing the back of her neck thinking if that was so. Sunshine heard a light thump beind her and looked. It was the other kid, Thomes. He must of fell. Sunshine got up and walked over to him and crouched down beside him. "You okay?" She asked him.

Thomas A. Malachai; Athena Thomas just held a weak thumbs-up, then slowly stood up. He first knelt, brushed off debris of his shirt and pants, then stood up. "I'm fine, technically." He took out his knives, flipped them open out of their handles, then checked if they're bent.

Sunshine Nicole Martin
Daughter of Hermes indent "Sure? You landed on your face pretty hard." Sunshine asked standing up, but waved off her question. "Never mind. If something was wrong there would be blood or something." She said and began walking back up the hill to her stuff. "Nice knifes by the way." She said to him fixing her hat so that Thomas and everyone else could see her bright green eyes.

Thomas A. Malachai; Athena Thomas grinned a malicious grin. "I can't die with this intelligence!" Thomas puts his knives up little pockets in his sleeves that apparently were useful were for storing little cases.

"Ooh. Look," Cole chirped, a light and amused tone in his voice. "More people. Who's he?"
Edeline frowned thoughtfully, grasping her chin with two slender fingers. Then she smiled and said, addressing the newcomer, "From the looks of it, you must be a son of Athena. Thomas Malachai, am I correct? It's nice to meet you. I'm Edeline Laire, daughter of Apollo, and this is Cole Pilfer, an Hermes kid."
Cole grinned at Thomas and ducked his hat at him. "So, whensa this truck gonna come? I'm justa hyped and ready t'go!"
Edeline smiled and rolled her eyes. "Our group's not complete yet. We've still another member to come. If I'm correct, that person is... Alexandra A. Mason. Once she's arrived, we'll be able to go."

Thomas A. Malachai; Athena Thomas couldn't help but chuckle. "Cole Pilfer, Hermes. I'm guessing you could take anything away without anyone so much a gasp." He turned to Edeline. "And I'm guessing you don't need eyes to get 10 bulls-eyes in a row."

Cole beamed, and Edeline blushed. He muttered in her ear, "Dang, this kid got us down. And it's even in a good way!"
Edeline smiled at Thomas. "Compliments so early, right after our meeting, huh? You must really want to get on our good side." Then she laughed. "No, I'm just kidding. We appreciate the comment, though surely you must have exaggerated that..." Then she quieted down and thought. Could she get 10 bulls-eyes in a row? She was pretty sure she could.
