A quiet and deserted area that's usually left alone to the mourning campers. It has a gloomy atmosphere, and for some reason, the sun never shines on this one area at camp. The sadness around the area has been known to kill; it's rather unbearable and can bring down even the happiest of campers. Most demi-gods that lurk around here are children of Hades or Thanatos. They carry a frown on their faces usually along with a few wilting roses. The pyres are just too much - they must be considered the saddest place at the camp.

Adele's feet ended up at the funeral pyres somehow, That's cruel, she thought with a frown as she recalled her nightmare. The girl sighed, on the way here, she had happened to pick up a flower - but she was no daughter of Demeter; the flower had already wilted. Adele blinked as she rubbed her already red eyes, hoping nobody would be able to tell she had cried - it would ruin her whole image. It had an eerie silence surrounding the area as Adele let out a chuckle, something nobody did around here. Ironic... this place would fit my inner personality perfectly.. she thought with sad eyes as she left the area, headed who knows where.
Of course I'm happy,
At least, in front of everyone else I am..- why am I even here? -

+Lucky found herself pacing around the camp's funeral pyre, on the verge of becoming an emo. It had been a few years since her mother's death and she was constantly finding herself in places death-related. She blamed Hades and every other god that had to do with the eternal sleep. A cold breeze blew in, causing her to shiver slightly from the cold. Curse me for forgetting my jacket. The daughter of Hermes sighed as she sat nearby the structure, her head in her hands as all her horrible thoughts came crashing down on her.

+Lucky raised her head when she noticed someone walking around. It was a boy about her age with the same dark hair and pale skin. She sighed and allowed a soft smile to play on her lips. "Hello. I don't bite ... I do, ah, stab however." She was trying to improve on her people skills. This one could be an experiment. Hopefully, a successful one at that.

Vıncenτ [ Λ ∙ € ∙ Є ] Nevıo  S o n xx o f xx H a d e s Ace tittered nervously at her. It seemed like a joke, it really did, but her overall disposition was dark and not as lifting or comfortable as Aoi's had been. Where Aoi had drawn in his attention and made him want to open up and talk, this girl had the opposite affect. However, he saw that she was trying to communicate with him, and it didn't seem like she did this often, so she was uncomfortable.
"Hey...Well, I'm Ace," he said, offering his nickname and extending his hand. "I take it you're a camper?" he said softly, trying to progress the conversation as he sat down in front of her, trying to be comfortable and confident to help her out.╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

+"Lucky," she said, returning the handshake, her fingers much looser than most would like. "I arrived a few hours ago." She cocked her head slightly. There was something about the way Ace spoke ... "Are you hiding an accent? Yes, I think you are. Perhaps Russian? No, it sounds European. Not French or German either. Rome, Bosnia ... Italy, maybe?" She ran her fingers through her hair, her sapphire eyes studying him with new interest. "O forse mi sbaglio e sono davvero pazzo come penso?" Lucky asked in a flawless accent, chuckling nervously. She was fluent in at least ten languages, and knew the basics of a dozen more. It wasn't that hard for her to detect the accents that so many tried to hide. +

+Lucky actually cracked a smile. At least he had a sense of humor. Lucky had to think for a moment to answer his question. "English, I suppose, since I was born in Boston. I'm fluent in eight others, and can hold up a decent conversation in at least a dozen more." It was too hard to name them all. She had to be in the country with the person speaking to her for her language skills to kick in. Lucky started absentmindedly rubbing her locket as she glanced at Ace. "Uh, yeah, Hermes, god of messengers, thieves, and a whole lot of other things I don't know, or care about for that matter." She sighed. "And you?"

+ "That's nothing to be ashamed about. You're from another country; so what? It makes you unique." Lucky smiled at him softly. She felt bad for him though; she was very familiar with the feeling of not knowing a country's language and then feeling like an idiot when you try to explain that to everyone else. Lucky perked up slightly at the name of his father. "Hades? Oh, I've always had interest in that particular god. Poor chap, got the rotten end of the deal when him, Zeus, and Poseidon were picking deities ..." The daughter of Hermes nodded in response to his question. "Not too hard, if you can never get lost, but thanks for asking." With another smile, she glanced behind her at the pyre, wondering what Ace was doing in such a gloomy place. It should have been obvious though; his father was the god of death. He was probably naturally attracted to these places. But there were always reasons behind reasons, that were yet to be told ...

+Lucky nodded at his comment about Hades just being moody. "I believe he's a bit bitter. Would be, if he has the dead for company all day ..." She smiled softly when he asked why she was there. "I'm usually a bit cheerier, to say the least. But when my mom died a few years ago, I've been finding myself in these kind of places often, to just, I don't know. Sulk, for a bit, I guess." She looked back at the prye and sighed once more. "My mom ... she never had a burial, nor a body to burn. There was nothing left after the fire." Lucky shuddered as another cold breeze swept through. She gave Ace another soft smile when she glanced at him. "I don't suppose you have more reason to be here than being the son of Hades?" +

Vıncenτ [ Λ ∙ € ∙ Є ] NevıoS o n xx o f xx H a d e s Ace shrugged and nodded as he thought about it, putting his hands on his knees. "I see. Umm...You know, I've tried a bit of psychology in my day, when I can," he said with a small sheepish grin. "I think...your mind is hung on the death, and of all deadly places you could have gone, your mind found one related to fire...Well, s-since that's how your mother died, it seemed," he said slowly, trying to work it out, even when she hadn't asked him to. He had that odd compulsion to work psychological things out for people aloud. He looked at her when she asked and sighed.
"When I was little, I saw hell hounds and monsters following me all the time. They hurt people around me who looked at me and made me feel bad, and protected me for the most part. My mother sent me away when they began to hurt more and more people. When I came to America, it wasn't long before I saw them again...and my friend brought me here with his parents. I still write to him," Ace replied. "I suppose I'm here because this is the safest place...Not only for me, but for my friends too."╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

+Lucky chuckled. "Who are you - Oprah or Dr. Phil?" She sighed, interlacing her fingers together on her lap. "I, ah, suppose that could be true." She glanced up at him when he mentioned monsters. "They protected you? Mine tried to eat me." She sighed and managed a soft smile. "Well, since it seems you're intent on figuring me out, would you like to know my whole story?" +
