A brief moment of respite -open-

[Deleted]

Allan was back at camp and just looked around, it didn't feel the same anymore. People he had loved and couples were torn apart and there was heavy losses on both sides. The son of cupid just glared at the cool water that the water nymphs were playing in and he was a shell of his former self. Allan was once a bubbly son of Cupid, but after feeling like cupid didn't want him and that Saturn could have done better during the second titan war. The man sided with Saturn and decided to turn his back on the men and women he had once called family. Then just recently The son of Cupid had just come back from war again his side was still healing the son of Bellona he had fought decided that his side needed a new marking and he was a traitor to saturn this time because he didn't return to the titan. Allan had decided to go to the gods, but did he think them any better? No, in fact he still hated cupid for not claiming him for three years while the man he loved Ronan was off probably doing who knew what. Allan had come back to camp and was considered a traitor among them and was hated by them because of what he did in the second war. Allan had lost his best friend Ryan and was sure his main best friend and possible love interest would just be elsewhere flirting with someone.

However Flirting was not something that Ronan understood well but he knew that Ronan was good with his hands. However He often wondered if any man would be his one true love if such a thing even existed. Allan just didn't believe it anymore because if he could manipulate love, how could such a thing exist? How could someone claim to love someone but later betray them? He just looked at the water and didn't notice the air around him just got slightly warmer which seemed like apollo was in a good mood now. Which reminded him this war all started because of the gods and the fact that demigods even existed had him wondering if they were not the problems in the first place. Allan was the product of a god and because of that birth others hated him and monsters tried to kill him. The gods had done nothing but manipulate the situation and cheat on spouses and sleep with mortals. Allan then realized Saturn was no better for the demigods were easily manipulated by him.

The guy just wondered if this camp was doing no good because why were they protecting people only to have them go to war again? The demigod of love just laid down and looked at the son. "Why does this place still exist? The gods don't care, nor do the titans....So why do we still exist. I can see now that we are the man problems. If we take ourselves out of the equation the gods will have only themselves to bicker with. Instead of toying with us like pawns." Allan spoke out loud to no one in particular but he was just bitter and the fact he felt like he was torn now. He was a traitor to the gods and traitor to Saturn so where did he belong and who could truly love someone like Allan whom could so easily manipulate love.This was one of many things Allan was contemplating this day.

Notes: hehehe former traitors!

Being a Lar had its cons and pros, but in that sunny day, it was a pity to be a Lar and not be physically capable to feel the cool breeze or feel the warmth of the sun over the skin. Sometimes Nick wondered if when it had passed a thousand years he would still remember how was it to feel the sun or the cool breeze, maybe the splash of cool water over the face after a really hard day of training. He wondered if he would still be capable then to remember how to be human felt.

With that in mind he was walking, which wasn't totally accurate, as a Lar he didn't really touched the ground, he was floating, but still he moved his legs as if he walked, so he would like to think that he was walking. Other thing that maybe in a thousand years would end up forgetting, maybe then he would really just float here and there. Well, he was walking to the lake. Kaylee was helping some kids with their coping with joining to the legion, and Nick had some free time in that moment. So he decided to go and check around.

As he approached to the lake, he saw a guy there by the shore. He approached a bit closer and fially there he saw who it was. Allan, son of Cupid, claimed three years after getting to camp. Traitor to camp in the second titan war, which Nick had now no right to discuss about. And then he came back to camp and helped everyone, he fought for camp in the past war, which Nick thanked the gods. But he would also have to apologize to the son of Cupid. He had treated him harshly and not just that, but also didn't seem to be able to forgive him for his treason, but now... he was a traitor too.

He listened to his words and realized that he felt maybe... lost. To be back as a Lar, he had sworn to help campers, and who if not Allan, to be helped? who if not Nick would know what was dwelling in the heart of a former traitor?
"Very good question... It is a pity I can't really answer it to you."
He said and then sat next to Allan, not too close, but a bit separated. He was looking at the lake too. "but what I do know, it is that it would be a shame to lose so many good people, only because they are related to gods." he said and kept looking at the lake. his transparent purple being let pass the soft breeze.

  Allan was looking out at the lake and wonderign why he was still here because obviously nothing was going to get better and his old Centurion had betrayed his camp for which he couldn't entirely fault Nick for because he was traitor himself, but what pissed off Allan the most was that the ungrateful man had held it against him what he did during the second war; only to go do the very thing he accused Allan of being. Then it seemed like Nick seemed ot hear him because the stupid Lar decided to show his face. "Well pity that so many have already lost their lives because of being related to a god, or have you not looked in a mirror lately?" Allan asked with all the cynicism he could muster. The son of cupid did not want to currently see Nick, but it wasn't because he didn't like the guy. He was okay but he didn't want some man to come make an apology to him when he was just as guilty as him for being traitorous. "Nick. Why are you here? You know you can't help me because well you turned your back on us, the very thing you scolded me for doing. You went and did the same blasted thing.What i want to know is why? Saturn lost in the end and did you get what he promised you? He had to promise something to get you to join. I know for me back then it was payback for the gods who don't care about us." Allan continued to rant because he was mad.

Here was a Lar whom had died fight agaiinst the gods and turned traitor all for some unknown purpose to Allan. He had no actual right to eb pissed for every person did it for a purpose, but what he was most mad at was the gods and the titans. They had used demigods for their own selfish purposes of family bickering. The problem was not with the gods any more it was because mankind and Demigods existed. It became clear in his mind that they were going to forever be pawns in the war against each other for as long as they existed. "Oh, before you apologize Nick. I would like to point out you harped on me about camp and family being oh so important, but the moment Saturn offered you which  Lord Pluto only knows what. You suddenly sing a different tune. Well for one i will never forgive you for that." The son of cupid spat with an air of venom to his words; his features grew dark and cold from the hardened place of war. He knew that Nick was 'in love' which he never fully understood that one to fight on different sides of war but in the end die with each other? What kind of sick twisted love was that? Did his father cupid really support people dying by each other's hand or support the fact that lovers coudl be so easily torn apart by war? He never understood; truly Allan was begining to think it was all just fake especially since he could manipulate it.

He scooted farther away from Nick and even went so far as to pull out his dagger, but it would do nothing against a Lar. Allan just was glad to know he was somewhat protected and he was supposedto defend people who would turn on him in a second. The Demigod of love was begining to wonder if that was truly worth it and should just leave camp and find away to destroy it.

Notes: Oh Allan!! XD

Nick looked at the son of Cupid and noticed how upset he was at him. he hadn't had any of his grandmother's gifts, but if he had, he wouldn't have needed them to know how upset Allan was. He knew it was his fault, First Allan had came back and he had been so harsh and strict at him, then he had abandoned Camp. he betrayed everyone in there, including Allan. He had had his reasons for that, but still it wasn't somehting that he would have had been proud of. when Allan spoke those words, Nick half smiled and nodded, he had seen himself on a mirror, he knew that he was dead, he wasn't one of those wandering souls that needed to be shown the way back to the underworld. He was a Lar, a familiar, a spirit that would maybe be able to guide others through the horrid path of the warrior.

"I've seen myself... I know that I died. but remember there are thousands of people that had died in the world that are not related to gods. So don't blame them for everything that had happened to the world till these days." Nick knew that not everything in the world was the gods work, some things were purely humans'. So why to blame them about everything that happened in the world, why wouldn't people just realize that 50% of the times, it was a human who did the wrong! not even a demigod, but pure human work. Then let Allan keep talking, he knew that he deserved to be let to talk and also the Lar deserved all what allan was throwing at him, so he wasn't going to stop him from talking and maybe even insulting or mocking.

allan asked why he betrayed camp, but then he also told him he would never forgive him for it. Well, Nick had his reasons, they weren't valid, but they were still were the reasons he had had for it. But Allan deserved to know them. "I know... I have no right to be forgiven for what I did, so I'm not here for your forgiveness... I'm here to apologize, yes... and if you need to know the reasons I got for it... well, I can tell you them, they are no big secret, and I don't know how come you don't know why you don't know... it was quite a scandal." He said and then looked at the lake again. It was something he didn't like to remember, it always darkned his soul and in the past had put him in a blood frenezee.

"You know I am in love, Kaylee is my sweet love, my reason to be and to exist." he said and smiled sadly. "Kaylee wanted to betray camp to save her mother, that's what Saturn promised her. I convinced her not to, to stay in camp and be loyal." he breathed deeply even when the air wasn't needed by his body anymore. "so why I turned my back on Camp... some campers decided to kill all the traitors before they left camp, and they thought Kaylee was one of them. They killed her, they... beat her up, used their swords and cut and slashed her body, her spirit went to say goodbye, I ran to find her. I almost couldn't recognize her. I took her body to the infirmary and then... I simply lost my mind, I saw everything in red and as if it was a nightmare. I found her killers, and I killed them all, with my sword, my hands, my daggers... I ended up completely bathed in their blood."

He stopped for a moment knitting his brows, he was ashamed of even remembering that. "Saturn showed up, the moment I was blaming the gods for not taking care of Kaylee. He promised me to help me get rid of each one of them. to protect me from the wrath of Mars and Bellona, her killers were their children." he smiled sadly. "But as soon as I could think well again, I realized about my stupidity, so I started killing monsters back there, then as soon as war started, I fought against Saturn's forces." He even died protecting Remus Stone, so that's why he had been forgiven and he was made a Lar.
