It had been nine years since Meghan had been above ground. During that time, she had gotten used to the underworld, fascinated by everyone who drifted into the line, or stayed waiting. She had millions of conversations. Some with children like her, some with mothers, fathers, siblings, and any other type of person a living one could imagine. Actually, she never ran out of people to talk to. Although it could be really sad sometimes, it could be happy every once in a while too. People being reunited, people having lived full lives, people slipping out of their pain. And then her contentment shattered a bit. Of course, she had seen a lot of people in uniform flock in at once before. Her dad explained it as something bad with a lot of fighting, and a lot of people dying. He called it a war. But usually they'd come in with long looking metal things (something she eventually learned to recognize as a gun). These people were different though. People from a world that seemed foreign from the one she was currently in (or was that even possible?). People with spears, shields, swords, banners, and odd tattoos on their arm. 

The tattoo had writing: a word that Meg couldn't read, along with lines, and a picture or two. They all matched. They came in uniform. They came twice. She knew better the second time. Her mom had explained a little bit. Something called Camp Jupiter. Social Studies class brought to life. A life that regular people didn't know about. Of course Meg believed it. Why wouldn't she? It sounded awesome! Her dad, on the other hand, took longer to come to terms with everything. That's where her brother had gone... to the Camp that gave funny tattoos. Soon, the stories weren't enough. She wanted to see the Camp. The place she had been entitled to go to, but never had. It sounded kind of fun: a lake, a big open field, an obstacle course, something close to their own town, being protected from the monsters that used to come after her brother.

So, with curiosity as her drive, she found Mr. Pluto, and resurfaced. Word must've traveled fast, because once she was up, she met two really nice people (lars, they called themselves) who were also dead: Nick and Kaylee. She wondered if they were together like her mom and dad. They certainly seemed like it, the way they would look at each other. But they looked much younger.... and they were dead. And she didn't think she saw them come into the underworld... unless she had missed them. Ah well! Two more people to go exploring with! Now, she was hovering in something called "the Field of Mars". There was a little lone tree on the side, while everything else was dirt. People started coming early in the morning with weapons that she had seen in the underworld. They would fight each other, practice on dummies... It almost looked like they were in practice to be pirates! It also seemed like most of them didn't know they had a dead six year old watching them.

Weird were the things that you could remember from the time you died. It is not that everyone had died but when somoen had, then how much of it can remember when it comes back to life, like after a heart attack. Or be back but as a ghost, a spirit, a Lar or even a pltergeist. It was weird how much or how little it could be remembered from the other side. For Nick it had been something weird, as a dream after you ate too many sugars. He remembered the moment he died, Kaylee's face was the last thing he saw and her voice the last thing he heard with his human eyes and his human ears.

the moment he opened his eyes again, they weren't human eyes, for the first time he was looking around with the eyes of his soul and it wasn't a methaphore! he was dead, his soul rised from his body and he as a ghost was looking around. He saw Kaylee, crying over his bdy and for a second she looked at him. Of course she could see him, she had had been dead for already few months before he died. Then he saw his brother, Remus was there he had also cried and that moved him deeply, then a tall figure. Beautiful man with black wings, Mors, took him to the underworld.

Down there he saw many legionaries, all of them in line waiting for their judgment before the three judges. Nick knew that he would land in Tartarus, he knew it! and he also knew he deserved that, but he remembered Kaylee, his Kaylee alone up there for all eternity, just because she had wanted to help him... well no more, he would do anything he could to be with her. So he pleaded to be allowed to be a Lar. He faced the trial and the Judges considered that he had Lar material, so they agreed and told Mors and Pluto that he was allowed to go back as a Lar.

Months had passed since he came back to the world, a lot of things had changed since then, a lot of things had passes since then and he was happier than ever of being a Lar, to be in Camp and with Kaylee.

One day, he was informed that Kaylee and himself would be the guardians of a little girl, a ghost girl to be exact. Her name was Meghan Simons and they were also informed of who she really was. He had met Edmund in Othrys and had become... maybe not close friends, but good mates in war. He hated to think what on Earth would it be for him to see his baby sister again. So there should be some time, some preparations to know that Edmund wasn't going to freakout and fall in an emotional coma or worse, that he would burst in flames the place where the reunion took place.

So Meg should follow some rules. Which Nick was about to inform to the little girl, if he found her first. He always talked about having babies with Kaylee... well Meg wasn't their daughter, but for some times she would be their responsability. So he was in fact happy for that opportunity.

He looked for her around and finally found her in the fields of Mars. "good morning Meg, what are you doing here? remember you must tell Kaylee or me where are you going." he said in a calm way, smiling at her and sitting next to her as soon as he got to her side. People would be able to see him, but not her.

Their training almost looked like the older kid's gym class during special week and during test week. During test week they had to run around, do push ups, sit ups, and the older kids had to lift themselves up on a bar. The older kids got to have all the fun, it wasn't fair! They would bring in special teachers so they could shoot things with an arrow (archery, she remembered) or kick and punch a bag. The activities here looked a lot harder though. People moved fast. They used swords. Some looked similar to some she had seen in some show. She wondered if anyone ever got hurt while in this massive, harder gym class. They all looked older though, so they could handle hard stuff! At least, that's what her mom had told her. Once people got older, they had to do more things because they had to have more responsibility. But people could still get hurt. It looked like it could hurt a lot if they did something wrong. Besides, kicking and hitting wasn't nice or allowed... not unless she was in danger. The swords looked really sharp. Meg wasn't allowed to play with sharp objects, although Edmund did use them sometimes. Her dad hadn't been happy with it. Would Edmund be with all them doing the gym class? She floated upwards a bit, trying to get to their relative height. No Edmund. She gave a small pout and floated back down, watching them for a couple of more minutes. What would happen if someone got hurt? People got hurt in gym class. She remembered getting hit in the face with a ball. It had hurt, a lot. She had to go the nurse's office. At least she had gotten a sticker and some candy after she had calmed down. Hmmm, had Ed been in her school for that, or had he switched schools again? She couldn't remember. There were few events Meg had memorized. Most of her memories came from her mom and dad telling her stories in the underworld. Even fewer events that she could retain chronologically. Few... including the fire.

Meg mostly remembered what happened because it was on the night before Edmund's birthday. Mom had made him a cake with no frosting (Mom told her she could add it to her piece later). They had dinner and a movie night (that day it was Lilo and Stitch). Meghan had tried staying awake, but fell asleep after a while. She remembered watching Lilo and Nani surf, and wanting to try to learn next time they went to the beach. Next memory she had was of her dad carrying her down the stairs (was she that late for school?) and the fire alarm going off (had mom burned the toast again?). She couldn't see, it was really hot, and really orange. Ed had been next to her one second, she remembered telling him something, but the next moment, he was gone. Then there was something like thunder and sky must have fallen (like in Chicken Little!); her body hurt (even worse than when she got hit in the face with a ball) and then she must have passed out. She remembered following Mors, and then waiting for her parents... and then starting to wait for Ed. The years slipped by, hazy, endless days... until now!

As she watched, she caught sight of Nick. She grinned and waved but then a light bulb went off. Whoops. She looked down and curled her hand in. Right. She forgot to ask. "Hi Mr. Nick," she said shyly. "I wanted to see them in their gym class," she said, looking over to where they had started to pair up with the swords. She gave a nod. "Okay... sorry, I'll tell you next time!"

OOC: Yours was great!
