"I think you have amazing potential. Good application and good understanding of your powers.... I'd venture a guess you know that too somewhere. It's just about how and when you use them."
Duke had turned to look at her when he said that last part. Was he talking to her too? She so did not have a good understanding of her powers. She was hoping that here she would learn how because as long as she was an emotional wreck, she would never gain complete control of them. Iliana couldn't help but give Duke a look of doubt.
His next words perplexed her. Tagged team? What did he mean? She didn't even realize that Liv finally spoken up. Her thoughts stopped though when he said he was also going to Mount Olympus. Ares had still been there when Iliana left him. Was he waiting for Duke? That made sense. Duke said one last thing about sharks and then left. Liv's next words startled her.
"There won't be a next time," she said before turning the other way. As she walked past her, Iliana heard her say, "You stay away, too, if you know what's good for you."
Her words dug deep. She meant it. Iliana shuddered in fear as she watched the demigoddess leave the beach. Alone again. It was a relief honestly. Gave her time to think.

Heath had found the stone he used to find his sister with. He still remembered when he got it from his mother. Both Hephaestus and Hecate had worked on this one. It was more for Heath's peace of mind then anything else. Now the two would be working on a talisman to help block others' emotions from affecting Iliana. It wouldn't be able to help her control her powers since she had to learn how to do that. He paid close attention to his surroundings as he found himself heading towards the beach. He saw Liv as he walked and would have stopped her, but she looked like she wasn't in the mood for conversation. Instead, he continued on his own mission and soon found Iliana at the beach.
"Lia!" he called out, relieved to see her.
Iliana looked up to see Heath. Her eyes lit up and she waved before going up to him. Heath wasted no time in asking what she'd been up to and Iliana told him all that she saw. By the time she was done, Heath's head was reeling. It was a lot to take in. What struck him the most though was that the Valises and Duke had gone to Olympus. Based on last night's actions, it wouldn't surprise Heath if the siblings needed a break from camp, especially with Ajax nailing Mason. Those two definitely had a history and a non-friendly one. But then again they had already been at camp longer then most. Heath wouldn't be surprised if there was going to be another confrontation when the Valises returned.
Iliana could see her brother was thinking and decided to say something. Getting his attention. She wrote in her notebook and showed it to him.
~Heath, Wes told me we really shouldn't get involve in things that aren't none of our business. I think he's right. I know you and Ethan are worried about Sylas, and I am too, but I think until something does happen that involves any of us, we should just focus on why we're here. I am dreading it, but I do need to work on my powers. I don't want mom or you to have to keeping worrying about me.~
Heath looked at his sister in surprise. Thinking about it, she was right. Heath had become concerned about Sylas only because he was worried of what the man was capable of. He totally forgot that he was here to work on his own abilities, besides to help Iliana. His mother once scolded him for taking on too many responsibilities.
"Everyone is in charge of their own decisions in life Heath. You just focus on the things only you can control."
Looked like he still hadn't learned that lesson. Looking, at Iliana, he said, "You're right, sis. Come on, let's go back to the Main Hall. Ethan is still there with a new arrival."
Nodding, Iliana walked along with him as they headed back to the Main Hall.
