Amber, Avery, Care, Rachel...​

scroll

As much as Amber’s curiosity was getting the better of her, her brother was right. In fact, the modicum of curiosity he was feeling could be because of her own heightened feeling of it all. With a shake of the head and a firm look plastered on her face, she altered her route on their mission which was the most important, getting the information and answers they needed. “You’re right, Aves. You’re right. We must focus on ours if this is to be of a success,” she muttered under her breath, clutching her fists as her nails dug into her skin. Avery felt the feeling of nails digging into his skin as he waited for her to focus. “We will figure this out, Berry. I swear it.” He told her softly as they went on. Nail digging was a familiar feeling that Avery had gotten used to by now when Amber focused. Although, remembering that happy portal accident helped ease the tension that was placed upon them, knowing what was to happen, give or take some accuracy.

As they slowly started to approach their decided starting location, the twins needed to get into this the way they were trained. Well-focused, Emotion-free, and no ties. It was the second reason why the mantra was created, to begin with. Knowing they were bound by their birthday present, apart from being each other’s lifeline, they were each other’s ride-or-die. Although the death part was still unexplored territory, it could be assumed from all the accidents they endured. Every last breath, every broken bone, every scrape and scratch. The assumption came ever so naturally. A sigh of focus escaped her lips as her blue-green eyes opened to meet his after he repeated the mantra after her. Now, it was show time to begin for the three.

“We do and it seems to be the natural balance of it all. Everything has a price and it would be unlikely if such a well-crafted and devised plan had none. A price I mean…”. Amber bit the inside of her cheek. As much as she agreed this was not what she wanted. To leave the daughter of Athena behind… it was what needed to be done. As stubborn as the twins are combined, they know not to tamper with a plan, “Agreed. As much as I am not a fan of leaving no man behind, if this is what must be done, then so be it.” Her gaze never left his, to assure him that she was being truthful. He knew she was always there for her comrades. Always by their side, always having their back… but she needed to assure him. She was going to follow the plan. This will work. It has to. Avery sighed “Neither am I, but it’s the way the plan is designed.” He hated this, leaving Care behind. Care had become one of the people that understood him. That gave him the chance to be himself in front of someone else other than Amber.

Approaching the tree where they first met Care, seeing her emerge out from the foliage, landing on the ground. They were ever so determined to start off and recon before they started. Amber bowed her head to her welcome and extended a hand towards her with the gesture to proceed with recapitulating the plan. The brunette could recognize she was in pain. What happened to her, Amber did not know and it was not the right time to ask questions of concern either. Looking down at Care, Amber continued biting the inside of her cheek as the other female spoke. “Fans or not, if that is what needs to be done so be it. We have already taken care of the escape route and we can safely escort you through if you change your mind…” she offered, knowing very well she wouldn’t take it. The priority was for the Morello’s to make it through. Care shook her head “I need to speak to Chiron. He needs to know that this didn’t need to happen if he would have just trusted us to handle it.” She told them truthfully. Chiron needed to know that he was the trainer of heroes but he needed to let them be heroes. Even when there’s a chance they won’t come back.

Especially since Care made sense. The Greeks had no business accessing them in an unauthorized manner near the oracle, let alone the Roman twins. Chiron might go easier on her. Besides she was to be the distraction for the twins to break the news to the rest of the camp and crash the other perfectly cooked distraction. “Yes, got it. We got it. Let’s get our show on the road,” a challenging smirk danced on her nude-colored lip as she faced the daughter of Athena and back to her brother as the trio made their way towards where the oracle resided. The cave.

Care walked inside the cave where she knew the oracle had been hiding at. From the outside, it was just a cave, but as you walk in…

You see it was more like a mini cabin room. There’s a door that was slightly ajar, as she pushed it in. She motioned for Amber to follow her, “Avery, stay look. Signal as soon as you see Chiron.”, Her voice firm, giving an order. The twins obeyed. Amber followed at a distance after Care with a look towards Avery, knowing very well she meant to signal her as usual before he nodded. He knew that right now, Care is the lead in this mission. As the pair of females emerged deeper into the cave, he tapped his chest three times, feeling as if Amber did the same. It was the signal they gave each other as the mission started. A way to connect without words. Avery quickly moved out, standing guard as he climbed a tree and waited till Amber had to make it through.


Reaching the depths of the cave, Care looked back as Amber was a few steps behind her, watching their back. “So the oracle is a camper, too?” Amber muttered under her breath, she was quite intrigued as she saw the bunk-like decor within the cave. The interior looked nothing like a cave. It was bewildering. However, before Care could respond she noticed Care halting and an unexpected voice interrupted her train of thought. She saw the oracle ahead who looked up in surprise and sighed. “I knew you’d be coming. Chiron tried to protect you all for too long.” She told her as the daughter of Athena walked forward. “Ask your question, Care, Daughter of Athena, and get your answer.” Care then shook her head “He protected us for so long but it’s costing now, and I will not let it destroy our camp. My home.”

Amber watched the scenario in awe, making sure to memorize all that was unfolding. Deep down she wished that Avery was in her stead, listening. He was usually the brains and memories and Amber executed. This time, they swapped and Amber was determined not to fail. Avery felt Amber’s need to not fail. He wanted to be there for his sister, he wanted to hear everything. The feeling of the need of her brother bubbling in, tapping in, wanting Avery to listen in. What happened next was something she did not notice. Opening a channel within their link, she kept concentrating on the female and elder before her. Suddenly it felt like a channel, opened in their bond. Avery felt like he could hear everything. See everything. Except it was not his sight. He heard as the prophecy was spoken, memorizing every word, much like his sister. It was like he was there with Amber as they heard what was to come. It was as if the Morellos became one.

Rachel smiled and came closer. “Ask.” She inhaled deeply “Orcale, I come to ask, to why our powers are failing, why we are weakening?” Rachel’s eyes went white as a voice older than she spoke out to them. A prophecy. A prophecy had been spoken…

Care breathed in deeply as Rachel returned to normal, holding her head. “Did you get the answer you need?” She asked as Care started to pace, thinking of every word. That she didn’t even notice Amber’s eyes went glossy as the prophecy went on. Like she was two people instead of one. Care knew that she was to be with Hunter’s team, and it was easy to figure out the rest of them but still…this was a big prophecy and so many things to go wrong.

Unlike Care, Amber heard the words, her mind moving like a computer to register every word. She was unaware of who the demigods might be but she hoped she could remember all this with ease. To her surprise, she did. With her brother’s senses merged with hers, unaware, at that point in time he was witnessing anything, to her Amber she was still witnessing everything herself, the pressure subtly rising as she looked at Care's pace.

Care looked at Amber, as she stopped pacing. “Did you get the prophecy? All of it.” She asked her as she glanced at the door. Her mind going a thousand miles per hour, knowing that they didn’t have much time left. “You need to go now.” She stated as she could feel the next part of the plan coming. “Tell everyone of the prophecy, make them believe the truth. Tell the others, I will be there as soon as I can.” She walked over to Amber, and took her hand “Thank you.” A whisper escaped as she moved back.

Avery was still seeing the conversation but in the corner of his sight, that wasn’t taken by the shared vision, he saw movement. It looked like Chiron was rushing to the cave. He jumped down from the tree he was out, and ran to the cave, tapping his chest three times as a warning.

Glossed eyes met the worried daughter of Athena as she gave her a firm nod, knowing the next step was to leave, “Take care, Care.”. With that and the combined feeling of the three taps, set the daughter of Janus to bolt and make her way back out of the cave to her brother. Amber’s emotions suddenly started to calm down, knowing very well she absorbed the prophecy, every word. She wanted to bolt and tell her brother some paragraphs to share the burden. From what Avery could see, the interior of the cave path, came back towards his location, and as she emerged from the cave in a rush she was greeted by her brother, in his arms to avoid them from colliding with each other. Avery caught her, as they rushed back to each other. It was strange seeing himself in his sight but he shook it off.

As they reunited, their glossy eyes slowly subsided as the male twin saw himself in his field of vision briefly before one twin became two yet again, “Your eyes…” she muttered before shaking her head, “Come on, let’s go…” Amber was still unaware that Avery just witnessed everything, or that she too had the same glossed look in her eyes but getting to the main stage was the next step. “He’s coming, we need to go now.” He states that he also ignored the fact that their eyes were different colors. That he had just seen everything like he was amber. Avery couldn’t process it right now, he needed to focus on the mission.

Looking around the forest, archways were quite a rare sight before she noticed the cave entrance again. Taking her key out, she lodged it inside the empty area of the entrance. A golden lock formed around the tip of the key in thin air as she unlocked it, the lock dissolving into a golden spiral. Where an empty cave entrance once was, now was a bright golden portal, “Come on, destination - Eros Cabin.” Avery nodded as he interacted with the portal she had created. Once he was sure of the connection, “Let’s go.”

Following her brother, she awaited as he channeled their destination as she was incapable of doing so. Once he provided the go ahead, Amber walked in behind him as the pair unlocked the end of the portal back in the Eros Cabin’s backdoor. Emerging from the golden glow, Amber turned her attention to the portal, with the tip of her key, scanning the tips of the doorway, dimming the glow till it was now diverted back to a back door entrance as well as the cave entrance was now by default closed as well, back to normal. Amber rubbed a few beads of sweat before the sound of music was now a tad louder, eyeing Avery. “Time to crash the party, dear brother,” she grinned but still ever so wary ran towards the quad, locating the son of Eros. She knew her brother cooked the plan with the love twin so she waited for him too. Avery followed her nodding, going to Damon. He walks up to Damon, grabs his hand without noticing, and whispers in his ears. “We got it, it’s time.” The shakiness in his voice scared him. Knowing that the prophecy was bad enough, to scare him. It scared him a lot of the unknown about it. “Cut the music.” He states as he moves to his sister’s side in center stage. In the meantime, Amber awaited in the center stage, in hopes everyone was gathered and paid attention to them.

As the music faded to nothing, the daughter of Aphrodite’s voice was barely heard with the last ounce of her strength to draw the demigods’ attention to the stage for the Roman twins to take, with a great deal of assistance from the son of Eros. Care was right, the pair did make quite the show to divert attention. “Okay, listen up people! This is a warning! A prophecy has been issued, I repeat, A PROPHECY HAS BEEN ISSUED,” She made sure to cup her arms around her mouth to make her voice resonate a bit. Amber could feel the nerves getting to her. In a split second, she forgot the most crucial part. How it started. Avery looked at his sister as he felt her stress. Taking her hand. He opened his mouth and spoke. Thankfully, her brother picked up on the stress signal and came to the rescue as he started the first stanza of the prophecy in her stead.

“Scattered across this earthly, mortal plane,
The gods attempt to leave, in vain.
Trapped in their places, no one knows why,
Save for those who watch from the rumbling sky.”

Lots of gasps and sounds of distress started to echo amongst the crowds. Anyone who was dubious or had an inkling now confirmed that something was indeed wrong. Especially when powers were fading and children of the strongest getting hurt. Those who had no idea that something was being affected, now do. As Avery incited the first few words, Amber started to recollect the prophecy and proceeded;

“To save the Olympians, you will need four keys,
Or else god and demigod alike will be brought to their knees.
But so many are needed to face the odds,
In order to save the trapped gods,”

With the mention of the four keys, symbolizing the four different quests, four particular demigods started to glow a faint white aura - symbolizing the lead of each quest. The faint glowing aura started to radiate around; the son of Zeus - Victor, the son of Hades - Elijah, the daughter of Venus and hunter of Artemis - Nia, and the son of Dionysius - Noah. The faint glow was starting to get noticed from where the Morello’s stood. It was noted that as they were issuing the prophecy aloud, it was being initiated. How that worked bewildered her but Avery continued;

“To free the king of gods and those above the clouds,
Sons of Lightning and Travelers must be allowed.
To trust the daughters of Sleep and Mist,
While facing the mastermind behind this drift.”

Additional golden glows started to circle the chosen sons and daughters, although not as bright as those of the son of Zeus; the son of Hermes - Caleb, the daughter of Hypnos - Willow, and the daughter of Hecate - Althaia. Upon them, a large lightning bolt showed signifying the trapped god Zeus with the wording ‘South’ underneath it. The first quest has been issued. Amber kept scanning the crowds, blue-green slits darting from one demigod to the other. The words flew from her mouth as to continue;

“For the king of the dead and those below,
The elder son of Fire and daughter of Beauty must go.
Accompany the Underworld's spawn and with Rainbow's aid,
Face a king who long ago to rest was laid.”

If that seemed to be the ending, it was mistaken. The second quest followed right after to rescue to the trapped god Hades, in his own realm. Similar faint glows now light purple in color started to circle the demigods that were symbolized in the quest; the son of Hephaestus - Hani, the daughter of Aphrodite - Felicity, and the daughter of Iris - Star. Above their heads loomed the king of the Underworld’s helm symbol with the words ‘West’ written underneath, the same pattern as the first quest.

“As for the queen of the moon and all who hunt,
Take the Hunter and the children of War to face the brunt.
Of all the attacks the son of Music and Discord can't face,
And put the queen of monsters in her place.”

The third quest followed shortly after, the mentioned demigods were to rescue the trapped goddess of the Hunt, Artemis. Through the crowd now silvered whisps made their way to circle the chosen four demigods that were labeled in the lines, accompanying the Hunter of Artemis; the daughter of Ares - Sammy, the son of Apollo - Jasper, the son of Eris - Eric, and… the last wisp zoomed through the crowds and off towards the forest to reach her last quest member; the daughter of Athena - Care. Amber now figured out what the younger female meant when she said she was chosen. Above their head, a silvered bow and arrow radiated with the words ‘Northwest’ detailed underneath. The daughter of Janus proceeded;

“Even the king of wine merits a quest,
His son must lead the charge at the gods' behest.
Alongside the elder daughters of Harvest and Gates,
The son of Water's longtime enemy awaits.”

The final quest outside of camp was finally issued to save the trapped god and camp director, Dionysius. A vibrant purple light omitted from the chosen demigods to accompany the son of wine with the mission to rescue his father; the daughter of Demeter - Meredith, the daughter of Janus - Amber, and the son of Poseidon - Brandon. As Amber felt radiate, she looked upward as a dark purple goblet with grapes shone upon her with the words ‘North’ which she could not make up. It wasn’t till she saw the other fellow quest comrades, she noticed. Her gaze dropped to Avery, looking at him sternly as she was one to be leaving camp. Finally, she understood their need to be transferred here. The male twin continued;

“Back at camp, the rest of you must fight,
For soon an army will become your plight.
Pray for your comrades and their success,
Or else the entire world will fall into distress.”

The four quests were of importance but the task bestowed on the final demigods was of most importance. Keeping the home base safe for themselves and the quest on goers to return to. An orange outlined the demigods who were to head the defense of Camp Half-Blood against the army they were to face. Amongst the many worried demigods, eight of them bore this outline of amber light; the daughter of Demeter - Diana, the daughter of Apollo - Violet, the daughter of Hephaestus - Marissa, the son of Janus - Avery, the son of Eros - Damon, the son of Thanatos - Adrian, the son of Tyche - Kyle, and lastly the daughter of Nyx - Narcissa. It was then that Amber understood the reason behind their separation. It was more easy to swallow knowing how her strong suit in her battle and fighting tactics were needed on the outside whereas her brother’s wits and strategies were best suited for defense. As much as it was always a tough pill to swallow. It was needed.

“Beware most of all that rumbling sky,
For very soon, an imminent return is nigh.”

The last few words were blurted out in sync with each other from the twins’ lips as they faced each other and then the crowd yet again. A crackle and rumble of thunder was heard in the faint distance accompanying the ending of the prophecy. Both of them were still in shock as to what they just witnessed, knowing that their visions of being separated were indeed true. It was a rather ironic moment not to say the least where the Romans had to incite a Greek prophecy. Everything felt unrealistically real at this point, having a bomb drop in the middle of what was a fruitful and fun distraction. The quad shone with all the quest symbols, as much as the havoc it meant, it was rather… pretty.
