Setting Off {All Questers}

[Deleted]

Felicity sat in the barracks for a moment, staring at the backpack on her bunk. It was the same backpack she had taken with her to Tartarus, except now it was more bulgy as it held more stuff. She grabbed the pack off the bed and swung the straps over her shoulders. Felicity couldn't sit there pondering over the fact if she would ever lay in that bed again, she had to get going, the other questers would be waiting for her.

She walked along the grass, glancing around camp. Her eyes rested on the image of the principia in the distance. Remus was probably in there. Was he worried about all of them? Felicity shook her head. Of course he was worried, when was he not worried. As Felicity walked to the desired meeting point she kept having to fight against the urge to turn around and hide under her covers. She didn't want to go. She was suppose to get the relic for Saturn, yet she won't give it to him. But that relic wasn't going to the Gods either. There was no way Felicity would let that happen. She told that to the praetors too. The relief on Remus face though when she told him that she choose Remus over Saturn was enough to make her feel confident in her decision.

Now, she just had to survive the quest, and try to keep the other questers safe too. After that the relic will be put into safe hands and then came the part that was really troubling Felicity. The one thing she was losing sleep over. The fact she was going to have to talk to Saturn, tell him he couldn't have the relic. She had no idea how he might react to that, and it frightened her. She sighed as she reached the desired point. "So, quest time. We're going to England, Wiltshire, England to be exact. I'm guessing we can try to aim there. I'm taking Edmund right?" Felicity asked. She just wanted to get this thing over with.

Ethan stuffed things into his bag haphazardly. Doing this before would have been smart, but he used the excuse that he was being trained and taught medical stuff until his eyes were crossed and he couldn’t walk straight. So here he was, finishing up a little last minute. Didn’t hurt anyone, right? He headed out of his barrack in the fourth, cohort area and set off at a brisk pace for the rendezvous. Who can up with that word anyway, rendezvous? It was weird. Like hooked on phonics could have a field day with that one. Seriously. But enough about weird spelling, because he could go on for hours about that one really. Like the names of medicines and things that Jason had tried to teach him. What was that all about? Anyway. Back to the task at hand. The quest at hand.

He was going on a quest! It was both really exciting, and a little nerve-wrecking at the same time. Of all people the gods could have picked, he had to wonder why they’d gone with him. He wasn’t big and strong or great with a weapon. He couldn’t raise the dead or heal the wounded (well, he sort of could now, but not like other people here). He was just Ethan. Unless the gods were looking for a jester on the crew. Then that they had most certainly gotten. No matter what, this was going to be interesting to say the least.

He made his way to the point and noticed he was not the first one there. Well that was sort of a relief. With his nerves the way they were, he would have perhaps literally been bouncing while he waited for other people. At least this way he had someone to talk to. And talk he did. “Felicity! We are going to have so much fun, right?” Considering she might have lost her mind, but she still had her cool moments. Oh yeah, and she was sort of talking. Should probably pay attention to that. “Wiltshire? How do you know that? Looks like we got one good navigator then. Okay, you and Ed. What do I do? I sorta forget. Am I taking anyone? I can do it!” He knew not a lot of people believed in his abilities except maybe Jason, but it was worth offering, right?

Josh woke up really early that day, in fact he felt as if he had only blinked a couple of times before getting up from his bed. He took a quick shower, who knew when he would be able to take another one in the safety of the camp. Then he got dressed and grabbed his bagpack. Unusual in him, he had already put in it two bags with ambrosia and two bottles of Nectar, he knew that Edmund had a first aid kit, but he didn't know what could happen in the future and he wasn't going to leave that to fate to play with them.

He was still kind of sore due the intensive training that Rhia gave to him. He smiled at the simple thought of her. Then he breathed deeply and walked to the gathering point, still moving his right arm up and down to get used to the soreness of his shoulder. As he walked up there, he thought on the quest and what it meant, whatever it was what they needed to retrive, both sides, the gods and Saturn will want it, so both sides would fight for it... Felicity and himself were supposed to help Saturn if that happened, but he wasn't going to let that crazy old Titan and Felicity hurt anyone.

He hated to think on that, he also hated the fact that he was kind of the leader for that quest, so it was his job to keep them all safe and sound to come back to camp. He felt his head was going to explode at some point. He had never been given with such responsibility! Not even being centurion for his cohort... so why he believed he could do that?!

When he got there, there was no one, but less than a minute later Felicity got there and also his brother Ethan. He changed his face in a second and he was smiling at them, as if he was sure that nothing bad was going to happen, as if he knew that they all would come back to camp. "Hello, good day for a quest and you are right Ethan, it will be fun!" He said and then looked at Felicity with a nod. "Wiltshire, England... it is kind of far..." looked at Ethan then.

"ok, you and I will take Lyn with us, Felicity will get to that place using the shadows, but we'll teleport there. if we concentrate at the same time to get to that place, we can use that energy to get that far with Lyn. without our heads exploding..." he smirk as if it had been only a joke about exploding heads, but he wasn't sure about that. "now we just need for Ed and Lyn to get here, so we can leave this place and let the show begin..." he said and looked at Felicity with a twisted smile.

Edmund hadn't slept much that night. Seeing that he was going on a life endangering quest with four other people could have played contributing factors, but still. Not much sleep. His body was used to that though. Edmund stared at the door of his cohort, checking himself over once more before going outside. All of his weapons were in place; the condensed form of Cinny and additional supplies were in a backpack. He was good to go. Edmund strode through the door. Potentially for the last time. Almost immediately, a white fur ball pelted and then threw itself onto his legs. Edmund had already been in a horse stance, prepared for this as it happened nearly every morning. Jadis's weight did little to move him. "Hey Jadis," he mumbled, bending down slightly her short. "Be good for Yates and Winters, okay?" Jadis merely brushed against Edmund's legs before bounding after another one of Camp's many animals. "Bye," Edmund sighed, watching her white figure lope away and curve around a bend before disappearing from his sight.

He walked over to their designated meeting spot, seeing everyone but Lyn. So this was it. They were going to Wiltshire, England to recover something for the gods. As he and Redpath had concluded: it seemed shady. As if Edmund didn't hate the gods enough. If they were all so powerful and mighty, why couldn't they just friggin get it freaking themselves? It could all just be a ruse. A coverup to get rid of the most annoying, most threatening, most useless people of camp. The gods would have no shame. There were no consequences for them in their immortal game of chess. He walked in on Hunter's endless babbling. Cue eye roll. Hunter and Lyn were going to be the hardest to convince that this wasn't all a happy adventure full of fun, daring games of excitement.

As he got in visual range, he remembered that he was going to shadow travel there with Felicity. Praise the fates. He might as well have told them to kill him on the spot if he had to teleport with either of the Mercury kids. Edmund kept his silence even as Rogers announced that they were still waiting for two other quest members. He'd probably be spotted soon enough, but for the time being, he kept quiet. Ed stopped a few feet away from the three gathered demigods, giving them a respectable amount of space.

Rogers, Hunter, Weingarten, Sinclair, Simons.

"Specially selected" demigods going away on a quest.
On the other side of the hemisphere.
On a different continent.
For an unknown item.
For the gods.

WAS HE THE ONLY ONE QUESTIONING MOTIVES HERE?!

A small ball of fluffy black hair moved around atop the upper bunk as something near by whined and beeped. An annoying alarm that made the small girl roll over and sit up on her knees, facing the pillow her head was in only a few moments earlier. She reached over to the pole of her bed, where a watch sat. After a few moments of sleepy fumbling she turned the watch off, and stared at her pillow. She wanted to face plant in it again. With a yawn she clambered out of bed, and onto the floor several feet below. There was a ladder, but that was silly. Who uses ladders for such a short distance? Lyndis hit the floor with a small soft thump, stretching and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Quietly she walked to her locker, opening it to pull out clothes and a few other things to get ready for the day. She took her showers at night, not wanting to go to bed all sweaty, especially with the training she had been doing this past week. Passing a brush through her messy hair she paused, then counted on her fingers. Her face light up as she realized for the first time since waking up it was finally here. The day of the quest. Happily she continued to brush her hair, until every tangle was taken care of, the pulled it back into a pony tail. Out the bottom it still curled and frizzed all over the place, but it was completely out of her line of sight. Something she knew was important. This was going to be just like when she lived at home with her family. Even big brother Edmund was going to be with her.

Pulling a large backpack out of her locker, the small ball of energy opened her pack to look inside one last time. She had spent all week making sure she packed everything she would need. Her bag of morning preparation was the last to be placed neatly inside. She had just finished using it after all. Gabbing her gladius off the side of her bed, she strapped it to her side before putting her quiver and long bow over her shoulder. She put a dagger in each of her boots and the friendship bracelet Edmund had made her never left her wrist. Even as she slept, she wore it. She wondered for a moment if it was all too much, and opted to put the gladius back on her bunk rack. She had daggers and her scimitar after all.

Making sure her bed roll and tent were secured to the upper and lower part of the bag, the little child of luck bounced her way out of third cohort barracks. She stopped by multiple people to say her farewells, picked up some food at the mess hall, and remembered to drop by and see Ronan before heading to the meeting area. She saw everyone that was going to be on the quest there already, Edmund standing off to the side as usual. "Hello!" she called enthusiastically. She had excited to be the first one there, since she normally was when excited about things. Then she didn't normally have to say 'see you later' to so many people, or berate them for saying good-bye. Lyndis wasn't leaving for good, just going on a short trip.

"Hey big brother are you ready? Why are you standing so far away from everyone? Have they started talking about what we're doing yet? Where exactly are we going? I know this stone place, but is it in the stone place? Or around the stone place?" she stood next to Edmund, looking up at him with eyes full of excitement and wonder. Even if he and Felicity thought bad things were going to happen, Lyndis knew she was lucky, and that meant things that shouldn't happen would if it was good. Which was probably why Edmund was here. It also meant that bad things that should happen wouldn't. Lyndis wasn't quite sure about how it worked, but it did. Luck was always on her side, and it would be on the side of this groups.

OOC: Wow, okay sorry that was long. Um, disclaimer: Lyndis is in fact very lucky. So by proxy yeah the group is going to be luckier than it should. This is going to probably translate to things falling perfectly into place for them, and bad guys having to plan around situation that will try to ruin what they want to do to the group. Since her luck is spread out though it's not going to be quite as potent as it normally would be. Recall, Lyndis never saw a monster or anything disasterous while with her family because of this luck.

Felicity gave Ethan a look on his statement about fun. Right, they would have just as much fun as a toddler would have sticking their finger into a light socket. Therefore she opted not to answer about Ethans comment on fun. She nodded when Josh said what he and Ethan were going to do. Great, so they were going to share the burden meanwhile Felicity was probably going to pass out or have a nice migraine for the rest of the day. Good thing she remembered to bring advil with her, she still had some left over from her last little adventure.

Felicity heard a little voice say Hello to someone, she turned around and looked in the direction of where it came. There she found Lyn and Edmund. Oh come one, what were they doing out to the side. The sooner they got over here and joined the group the better. That way they could finish this blasted quest and come back, hopefully all in one piece. "Hey Edmund, Lyn. You two coming over here or not? I know I'd like to get going." Did she sound annoyed? Yep. Who could blame her though? She honestly didn't want to be on this quest, especially when she was feeling conflicted about her choice concerning that relic. Plus she didn't exactly sleep well, she actually had avoided sleep just in case a certain visitor would make an appearance. She didn't want to be swayed back to that thinking, not when she was so determined to do the right thing this time. So, a tired Felicity was a bit annoyed and just wanted to shadow travel hers and the forge monkeys butt over the ocean and get this darn thing going.

Ethan grinned at the other quest members as they arrived. This was going to be fantastic. What a fun team. He turned his attention to Josh and did his best to pay close attention, which given the his restlessness at the moment, was not an easy thing. “Sounds good!” He’d never teleported with another Mercury kid like that. Though he had a feeling now would be bad time to bring it up. Or the best time. Maybe Josh knew how to do it. Josh was better at this stuff than he was, after all. But the way he talked about it, it sounded legit enough. He looked around as if Josh’s words should somehow make the others appear. And started. Well, that was convenient. He made a mental note to ask Josh about his magical ability to summon people later. Seemed Felicity had noticed his rare ability too, though she was taking more the tell off the other two for not joining in route rather than the Josh how did you do that route. Ah well, her choice. It was all in good fun anyway.

He decided to take it upon himself to go invite Lyn and Ed over himself and with a few almost comedic level strikes from his lanky legs, he was near enough to probably be really ticking off Edmund at least. Then again, he was pretty sure his presence not in the Underworld ticked off Edmund. Ah well. He wasn’t about to let Ed’s temper and antisocial tendencies to ruin this adventure. So he did the only Ethan thing to do and beamed at them both. “Lyn, you’re coming with Josh and I. And Ed, you’re going with Felicity.” He looked semi over his shoulder at the others. “I guess we just sort of count of three it or something? Also, where exactly are we meeting? I mean, I know the town or city or place or whatever name now, but what are we aiming for? Cause that would really bite if we all got there and then couldn’t find each other. Would there be like a town square or something landmarky we could head towards and just wait for each other?” Made sense in his brain, at least. And he actually felt a little proud of himself for coming up with a decent suggestion, at least from what he could tell. Just his luck though, someone would shoot it down as silly and come up with a better one. Oh well, he was trying right?

Josh looked back when he listened to Lyn's voice. He saw Edmund standing there with her, what in Tartarus were those kids back there? didn't they understand that the sooner they leave the sooner they will find that thing and the sooner they would be back home? Well, that if creatured didn't attack them, which he hoped little Lyn's good luck helped them with.

Before he could call out their names, Felicity did it. He looked at Felicity and smiled, he didn't find it offensive or that she wanted to be the leader, which if they were in other kind of quest and if she would have wanted it, he would have given the leadership to her, but it wasn't the case. Then Ethan walked to where they were and told them the plans. Yes, Lyn with them and Edmund with Felicity, that was the best for everyone's mental health.

Suddenly Ethan came up with a very interesting question. When they landed in that place, how would Lyn, Ethan and himself would find Felicity and Edmund? He looked at his brother and smiled at him. "oh Ethan!! You're a genius!!" he passed his arm around his neck and bent his brother's body just a bit, then ruffled his hair with his other hand. He was playing as if the quest was just another difficult drill in the obstacle curse, even when he knew it wasn't, he didn't want the others, specially Lyn and Ethan felt worried about it.

Then he looked at Felicity and the others without leaving Ethan's neck and head. "well I think we should meet at the Salisbury Cathedral, well known place, so we will find it easily..." he said as he ruffled Ethan's hair a bit more, then he let him go and kissed his cheek. "that is Mercury's blood running through our veins!" he smiled at Ethan and then looked back at the others. He looked at Lyn and smiled now a bit more relaxed and being trully earnest. "ready for this? you'll take Ethan's hand ann mine, ok? don't let them go at any moment." she was a smart girl, so he knew she would be fine.

Edmund really, really did not want to be here. Then again, him standing off to the side would probably help prove and emphasize his point, along with ticking off his other quest team members. Did he care? Yeah, no. Since when did he care about what other people thought about his tactics? Quests were sketchy in themselves, but this, seriously. Was their grand praetor blind or something?! The surly seventeen year old kept silent, listening to the others as they made their plans, until he heard a voice close by to him: Lyn. "Hey Lyn," he said, looking down at her. "As ready as I'll ever be," he grumbled. Like all of them, she had a knapsack; like Hunter, her eyes were as bright and curious as ever. Some adventure they were going to have. Full of death and monsters and destruction. Oh well, everyone had to grow up at one point. To her second tirade of questions, all in the same area of answers, Edmund kept quiet until she finished. "They're planning that now," he said, nodding over to Hunter and Rogers. That's when Hunter decided to invade his personal space zone. Cinny had gotten deprogramed and reprogramed mostly so she wouldn't try to eat Hunter and Rogers the entire duration of the quest. Right now, Edmund was sorely tempted to revoke that; for his form of entertainment, he could just have his metal shredder turned weapons shooter snap at their heels and chase them around. "I'm aware of that," he said shortly.

At Felicity's sharp remark, Edmund just looked up at her with his usual blank gaze. "Rogers and Hunter are covering that," he said in his usual tone of voice, and a slight eye roll, looking at the descendants of Mercury as they started discussing where to meet up at the end of it all, and then started congratulating eachother. Yeah, where to meet up would be a good idea. Just so they would be five hopelessly lost kids in a friggin country they didn't even freaking know. Then again, NOT knowing where to meet up would be a good tactic for loosing all of them. Salisbury Cathedral. Fan-freaking-tasic. Brilliant way to start the day. The two shadow travelers could just freak out the entire congregation and the priest for popping out of the shadows like demons from hell. From what he heard of religions, most people tried to avoid that. "Fine," he snapped, and in a few strides, left Lyn to the Mercury brothers while he stood beside Weingarten, his face anything but readable.

OOC: I am so sorry. Ed's in a really bad mood >.>

To go along with how things have been playing out recently, Felicity sounded agitated. The small child was becoming better at picking these things out. Just a little. She had originally been completely oblivious to it, but it seemed like someone had to become acclimated to that specific sound in a person's voice or quickly learn to fight. She already knew how to, even before the legion, and was fast, but fighting was not her idea of making friends. Lyndis wanted to be friends with everyone. Her head dropped slightly, until Ethan came over with his own barrage of questions. A smiles sprung back up on the child’s face, she was not alone in her questioning on this quest at least. She knew Felicity and Edmund didn't even want to be here, that had been made clear when they had the first meeting. They even thought people were going to be hurt, but that wasn't happening while Lyndis was in the group. She was the daughter of Lady Luck! Who could possibly compete with that?

“Why can't we all go together? Splitting up isn't a good idea.” While Lyndis loved Edmund's quick precise answers, she really was excited to go on the quest. She didn't want the party to split up, not now not ever. Even a moment was a bad idea. She watched Edmund walk over to Felicity, but stayed where she was. She looked slightly distressed at the thought of them leaving in two groups. Not that she distrusted the transportation technique of either, but taking a single hunting party and pulling it apart didn't end up well most times.

Her little head drooped again and she took both Mercury boys hands, her small slightly calloused hands fitting completely in theirs. She'd be good, like any other time she went out on any kind of mission at home she'd listen to those older and more experienced than her. Around camp she might have gotten away with running around, going off on her own, and certainly getting into everything, but this was not camp. They were going on an important mission, and that meant being a good girl and doing as you were told, when you were told to do so.

A cathedral. Why did Felicity get a bad feeling about this? They didn't believe in monotheism, plus wasn't there something written in their holy book about being struck down if you honor any deity besides that one? What if their god ended up being real too and they ended up dead as soon as they stepped foot on location? Of course, knowing Felicitys luck she would think of the cathedral and end up walking out of a shadow in the most awkward of places and giving a few people a heart attack. She might even be referred to as a demon.

Actually, if you think about, in a weird sort of sense wouldn't Felicity be seen as being the daughter of their devil? She knew only a little bit about that religion but it seemed accurate enough. Oh well, either way her and Edmund will probably make an awkward entrance inside the cathedral. They minus well make a side trip and grab some fake devil horns and just create a huge joke out of the entire thing. Besides, shadow travel took a little bit more time than teleportation, but at least it was more accurate on the landings, or so she was told. Anyways, Felicity basically missed whatever else was said as her thought ran rampant.

However she was drawn back to attention when Edmund walked over. She gave him a nod. Then she heard what Lyn said. "It's to help ensure none of us die from exhaustion. Ethan and Josh are working together to trudge you to England, which is a long distance, it could knock one of them out if they aren't careful, and I have Edmund, which with the distance we'll barely be able to manage without me passing out somewhere in the shadows." Felicity said, adding just a bit of optimism. Honestly she thought she will end up passing out as soon as they exit out of the shadows, or maybe she will just have a huge migraine, or heck, maybe she will puke once and then it would all be over. She turned and looked at Edmund and held out her hand, it wasn't the first time she took Edmund on a trip, yet she will always ask the same thing. "Wanna go the easy way or the hard way?" She knew he had issues with touching other people so it was simple. He could take her hand, or she could tackle him into a shadow.

Ethan was not expecting to have his head attacked. But attacked it was. “GAH! My head! Not my beautiful hair that took all of five seconds to arrange!” He grinned all the same though. Hard not to when he was hanging around Josh or any of his siblings really. That was one huge plus of this place. Before coming here he had Jason, who was fun and great to be around, but now he had even more fun people to hang around, just to keep things different. Not that he didn’t still bother Jason all the time. Perks of being his legal brother. Or something like that. But he was still pretty close with his other siblings now too, and that certainly included Josh. Who currently had him in a headlock. He squirmed and tried to get away, but to no avail. It wasn’t until Josh let him go that he was able to get away. At which point he promptly aimed to mess up his brother’s hair in payback.

“Ooh, a cathedral? Sounds interesting. And easy to find. I mean, aren’t those things usually huge and ornate and stuff? Kinda don’t blend in too well.” But he decided it would be best to fall silent as Felicity said some intelligent stuff about what they were doing. They all seemed to be contributing pretty well really. Well, except he admittedly was kind of tuning Ed out. There wasn’t much to tune out there anyway. Sorry, Edikins. But that aside, this was shaping up to be a good quest so far. They seemed to know what was going on and have a decent plan! He took Lyn’s hand with a smile. “You ever teleported before? It can be a little… well, not stomach friendly sometimes if you’re not used to it. I have pepto though if you need. Jason set me up with enough meds to choke a horse.” He looked to Josh. “Count of three then?”

Josh looked at Ed and his always depressing-upset tone, at least he was pronouncing more than his usual one-word vocabulary. that was something! He didnt need the forge boy to be as talkative as Lyn or Ethan were, he needed him to be commited to the quest and the single fact of having him right there was enough for Josh to know that Simons would work in that quest, at least to keep Lyn and Felicity safe, well... that was his huge idiea.

He looked at Lyn as he held her hand, but Felicity beat him on the explanation. He nodded at her explanation and then smiled at Lyn. She was right about being worried, splitting wasn't a good idea, but in that case they needed to do it. Felicity couldn't get to a plane, and they didn't have the time to waste 12 hours to be in a plane, so the best way was shadow travel and teleportation. "Don't worry Lyn, we will land in a small park near there, so we don't scare anyone, I hope Felicity and Ed can shadow travel there too. If we don't see them there, then we will go to the cathedral. besides with you with us, nothing bad can happen in the quest, right?"

He winked at her and then looked at Ethan and also held his free hand. "I'm glad Kyoto had thought of that, I've also got some advil that Rhia gave me for my headache after the teleportation." he smiled and try not to think on that headache, it would be a killer migraine, he would for sure was going to thow up, that IF he didn't faint, But in that moment he needed to focus on the travel, the place he had seen in the pictures, He needed to get Lyn and Ethan safe to that place. "ok, then on Three. I mean One, Two and on Three we do it... ok?" He smiled at Ethan then looked at Lyn and held her tiny hand tightly in his. "One... Two... Three..."

((top's lyn/ethan, and then bottom's ed xD sorry I only wanted the frustration one, but they came attached))

Edmund stood there silently. Hunter was afraid of messing up his hair. How prudent. Ugh, and he was stuck with all four of them for only gods knew how long...? The forge boy's eyes skipped from person to person as they took their chances at calming Lyn's concerns about splitting up. Hunter did have a fair point, picking a cathedral meant they couldn't have the 'I didn't know where it was' excuse. Those things were usually gigantic and well known, usually even a historic landmark/tourist attraction. Hopefully it wouldn't come to this, but even if they asked someone on the street, they'd just be look like a tiny tourist group of just teenage kids plus a tiny. He wasn't sure how common that was in England; if any questions were brought up, one of them could always lie and say that Lyn was their little sister that their parents ordered to drag along. Edmund hadn't gotten to the age in the mortal world where he could've go out with friends (besides, even if he did get to that age, he'd never have any friends to go out with) but he was fairly certain that Meg would have wanted in. They would have fought and she would have ended up crying... and Edmund would have eventually caved in. Or, at least, that was what he thought would be the outcome... given their relationship right before he set the house on fire.

His dark eyes semi rolled at Roger's last comment. If Lyn entered into an even deeper mental state of "nothing will happen to us because I'm here" and then something did and they all got killed, Edmund was blaming him. In the end, didn't add anything to the consolation go around; a) he was horrible at consoling and b) everything had been said. He watched the three of them prepare to teleport and turned to face Weingarten, who was holding her hand out to him. He wasn't looking forward to possibly vomiting at the end of the travel through the shadows... He kept silent, waiting as the teleporters' count down finished; a second later, all three of them vanished from the corner of his eye. He fully turned his body so he'd be facing his fellow shadow traveler. "No need to be so dramatic Weingarten," he said with an eye roll, half extending his right hand. "But before we go risking our friggin necks in England... can we make a side trip?" he asked, a smirk working its way onto his face.
