Sun Catching

The flash had to wake everything up. It was dawn, and no one should have been awake. Most people, like Ajax, wanted to be in bed, sleeping for the next few hours. Not everything works the way you want it. Chiron had called out; he wanted everyone to gather at the Big House. Apparently, they had a special guest. Andreas was busy getting dressed next to him, and Ajax put a pillow over his head. "Nnnngh..." He groaned, rolling out of bed, and falling to the floor, much to his brother's amusement. Andreas stopped laughing and looked away, and Ajax through the pillow at him.

"Get up," Andy snapped to Ajax, who had collapsed onto the floor after throwing his pillow, snoring loudly. Andreas rolled his eyes, and walked out of the cabin. Cassandra quickly met him out afterwards.

"What do you think this is all about?" He asked her.

"Good Hecate," She rolled her eyes impatiently, like Andreas should have known this. Obviously, he didn't. Sighing, she said, "Eos, stupid! She's visiting Camp today," Cassandra said, as they approached the Big House. Other campers were crowding around as well, including a sleepy-looking, sloppily dressed Ajax. Andreas finally saw what everyone was so excited about; A beautiful woman, with long, blonde hair, was standing before them. She wore a simple white dress, that, every few moments, flashed a ray of sunlight. She smiled at them all. She wore no shoes, and she had a breezy appeal, almost like an aura.

Chiron was about to talk, but Eos interupted him. He didn't seem to mind; obviously allured by her beauty, Andreas thought. Or maybe it was because she was an all-powerful goddess who could fry Chiron with her smile?

"Greetings, my little sun rays!" Eos cried, with a hippy-dippy feel to her voice. Andreas thought it was quite amusing, but, entrancing at the same time. Eos flashed another bright smile, and Andreas felt his spirits lift. He was no longer tired, and didn't feel like he just woke up anymore. "I'm so happy to be here! Especially at dawn!" She fluttered into the air, and did a small twirl, before landing. She didn't continue for a while, just hummed softly to herself, not paying any mind to the fact that she was in front of a whole hoard of campers. Chiron cleared his throat, and she looked at him kindheartedly. "Oh, right! Well, we're going to have a bit of fun today! Well, more than a bit, actually, we're going to have a bunch! No, a bundle! A bundle of fun!" Her smile grew wider. Ajax chuckled, and she smiled at him. A dark moment flashed in her dress, stars fully visible. Her new smile was mischievous.

She gestured towards herself. Enough pegasi to match the number of campers flew over to them, one a smokey black, that approached her. She pat it's muzzle, and it whinnied. "Son of Ares, I'd like to use you as an example," She nodded, the sun flashing again. The horse looked amused. Ajax reluctantly stepped forward, suddenly becoming self-conscious and flattening his wrinkled Camp-Half Blood shirt.

"Today, we're going to do a little event," She said happily. "And Mister Giggles here is going to demonstrate!" She laughed cheerily, and Ajax's face reddened. "Mount Ash here!" She said, patting the pegasus. Ajax did so, a tad frightened. The horse lifted off. Raising her voice a few octaves, Eos called, "The goal of the game," She clapped her hands together, and a small ball of light began zooming around the Camper's heads. "Is to capture this little ball of sun. I named him Sonny!" She said, delighted. Ajax didn't look so. He looked down, and almost fell. The horse chased after the light.

Chiron coughed, and cut Eos off. "CanIjustintroduceyoualltoEos?" He panted, Eos chasing after Ajax and the rogue pegasus. "It was Athena's idea to allow the gods to come to camp, to let you all learn more about them. You'll need it, you know." Chiron said, and scowled. "Anyway, there will be a series of different gods that will be visiting. Also giving out a quest each," He said the last question very quickly and quietly. "Eos will be conducting a game for you, to show you a bit about her realm. At the end of the game, Eos will the quest to the winner, and they will recieve their prophecy, and then choose two other campers to go with them. Got it?" He asked. He had to talk quickly, for Eos was returning with Ajax and Ash. "Begin!" She laughed.




(This quest will be a bit late, sorry... this event topic was late as well.. .D:)

Nervously, Abellona arrived on scene, to see Ajax mounting someones pegasus. The frail girl tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, her brain wracking around the idea of going on a quest. Simply, she didn't know if she should even attempt at being able to go. So, instead of giving herself a headache, she looked at Eos. The gorgeous goddess and her father had some things in common.


Asher walked up to the group of demi-gods. He looked fresh and energized, as always. As Chiron explained what they would be doing, he looked at the pegasus with an awkward stare. He was pinpointing which one he would compete best with.

Orson watched in awe as the goddess introduced the game. This looked fun, and since sun was basically a ball of fire, he had a pretty good chance of winning.
Anders growled at the thought of flying in the sky on a horse to catch a stupid ball of light. He was most likely not to catch it, but he still didn't know his mother, so he might have a chance, and might not.
Lalin loved the idea, but was sort of frightened about the thought of being up so high. She would have fun catching light, as it was one of the key pieces of photosynthesis, she still probably didn't have such a great chance.
May was almost glad to get started, but was afraid of having to do a quest if she won. She knew that this might go really well for her, since she was, in fact, one of the children of the sun god himself.

Caitlan looked up at Ajax riding the pegasus high up in the sky. She was the daughter of the god of the sky, but something held her back. I'm not going up...hopefully my feet will stay on the ground. she thought. She looked to see Orson watching and walked up to him.

"Hi Orson." she greeted.

Lily Luna looked at Ajax. Roxie followed her gaze. The girls loved riding pegasi. "So exciting," Lily Luna whispered to Roxie. "Agreed," whispered her sister.

OoC: Oh gods. . Hera's cabin? XD


Marie whistled, and a white pegasus trotted over to her, stretching its wings. Mounting it, she twisted her hands into its mane to hold on, then kicked off. Her hair blew back, and she laughed. She hadn't felt this good in a long time.

Down below, Tyler was stroking a pegasus.
"Come on, horsey," he cooed. "We can do this. Help me win, and I will share the prize with you." Little did he know just how much the pegasus hated him.

Haimon was having twice as much trouble. He couldn't even approach the group of winged horses without them clearing a path. They wouldn't allow him within ten feet of them, whinnying in alarm. He growled.
"Cooperate with me!" he begged.

Aaron watched Ajax, almost laughing, biting his lip so he wouldn't laugh. Walking over to Marie, he muttered, "Ajax lost his memory, but it's still fun to watch him get bucked by his horse. " He chuckled quietly. Then as Marie mounted her pegasus, Aaron let out a low-pitched trilling whistle. Suddenly a majestic white pegasus flew out of the sky. It was slightly taller than normal, and in mounting it, he was quickly into the sky, right alongside the rest of his friends. His pegasus, Ice, was both fast and strong.

Seth bounced on the balls of his feet, wanting to fly on the pegasi after the ball of light. He had a special connection with a specific pegasi. He had no doubt that his greatest competition would be his own brother, Aaron. They both were expert pegasi riders, likely because they were children of Poseidon, and Poseidon created the Pegasi. He grinned as Aaron was on top of his pegasus, Fire, as a counterpart he named it to Aaron's, Ice. He was off into the air as quickly as Aaron, though Fire was slightly smaller than average, he was still just as fast.

Nathan looked on in wonder at the ball of light. Out of curiosity, he created a light breeze to see if the ball would waver. It didn't, leading him to understand it was pure light. How would they catch it? Maybe it reacted different to demi-gods. Shrugging off the doubts, he used a strong breeze to whisk him over to the stables, quickly look for his own pegasus. When he found her, Gold, the pegasus, and flew quickly into the sky, into the search.

Lily sat on the ground, legs folded, head twisting as the ball zipped back and forth, and suddenly it was gone. Touching the ground, she got a view from a nearby dryad that ball was by the Hera cabin. Too bad she couldn't use that advantage in the air. Lily lightly and silently, like a cat, was on her feet. She raced to the stables, seeing Nathan just overhead. She grinned slightly, skidding to a halt in front just as he landed. Panting slightly, she found Silver whinnying in the back of the stable, mounted her, and was into the air as well.

Lily Luna giggled quietly with Roxie. The two girls found it very amusing. He was getting bucked by a pegasi. "This is so funny," Roxie whispered to her twin. "Definitely," replied Lily Luna, in an equal whisper.

(Lily? My charrie is named Lily ._. )

Lily Luna looked at the pegasi. There were plenty of them. She looked for hers. She approached a dark grey one, named Cynthia. She mounted Cynthia, & took to the sky carefully & gracefully.

Roxie looked for her tan pegasus, Cyril. Then she spotted him. She approached, mounted, & took to the sky carefully, not very gracefully.
