Raelene Sarona

Artemis's Champion

0 · 412 views · located in The Olympian Universe

a character in “Champions of the Olympians”, originally authored by WindOnFire, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name: Raelene Sarona

Age: 18

Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Olympian: Artemis

Appearance:
Image
Rae has white-blonde hair that she keeps short and a bit shaggy, swept across her forehead and obscuring her eyes, which are a piercing stormy grey, set behind think lashes. Sheā€™s average height, with a strong, slim build.

Personality: She can be very cold and, perhaps, a little intimidating to many people, or she comes off as standoffish. Truth is, she just has a hard time trusting anyone, or getting close to people. She does form very tight relationships, though, when she finally opens up to people. Rae is very confident in her own abilities and skills, but when sheā€™s out of her element her temper is quick to flare.

Abilities: Raeā€™s always been faster and stronger than most girls her age, more at home in nature than indoors. Surefooted and observant, she never loses her sense of direction, never gets lost. She can see even in the pitch-black night, and always knows what time it is, even without a watch. Sheā€™s also good with animals, but whether thatā€™s an ability from Artemis or just coincidence, itā€™d be hard to say.

Bio: Rae grew up in a normal enough family, in a normal city, went to a normal school, but was always a littleā€¦different. With only a few close friends, she never learned to open up to people. A lot of kids at her old high school called her the ā€˜ice queen.ā€™ Rae honestly didnā€™t care. She was always one of the best at sports, at outdoor activities, though she didnā€™t excel in academics.

Rae was always good with animals, and used to want to be a vet when she grew up, but she recently decided to go to med school to try and become a doctor. Sheā€™s never gotten sick herself, but wants to help others. She loves being outdoors, particularly at night, and sheā€™d not afraid of the dark. She does have a problem with claustrophobia, though, and is terrified of being unable to see. Sheā€™s also afraid of rejection, which may be part of why sheā€™s never been in a romantic relationship, though itā€™s probably due to her mistrust of most males. She doesnā€™t have a reason to not trust them, she just doesnā€™t. She isnā€™t lesbian, either, sheā€™s justā€¦not interested in dating or romance.

So begins...

This would be perfect, Rae thought, if it werenā€™t for all the screaming kids. And there certainly were a lot of them; kids screaming on the playground, chasing each other across the lawn, trying to fly their kites, playing with puppies or dirt or whatever it was that kids did. Their parents just sat on the benches or on picnic blankets and watched their kids attempt to single-handedly get the world record for loudest screaming. Fortunately, the neighborhood park wasnā€™t usually this bad, which was why Rae was usually here when she had free time. It wasn't particulaily sunny today, which was why she had come, figuring most people would stay home, but apparently the overcast sky and rather sporadic winds had not detered the masses.
Rae was amazed when the screaming suddenly rose in volume and pitch. What were those kids doing? She frowned and sat up, placing a hand on the tree that provided her shade. Hmmm. Thatā€™s odd. Not only were the kids running and screaming, but the adults were, too, blankets, kites, and toys abandoned as everyone sprinted in different directions, parents scooping up their children as they ran for their cars, for their houses. Spotting something that didnā€™t look quite right, Rae gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.
A riot of birds flew overhead, screeching, sun reflecting harshly off of them. Closer to the ground, even larger birds circled, diving at the people below them. She blinked and looked closer. Were thoseā€¦no, they couldnā€™t beā€¦human heads? Harpies? That wasnā€™t the worst of it, either; a huge beast stalked through the park, roaring and yelling. This, too, had a human head, but its body was feline. Scrambling to her feet, Rae took a deep breath, and, seeing that the beast was about to pounce on a small child, she sprinted towards it, dodging people and monsters alike.
What are you going to do? She asked herself, feeling a mixture of fear and determination. Fight the thing? Itā€™s more than four times your size! But she continued towards it nonetheless, snagging the child around the waist just as the beast leapt, landing heavily on a now-empty patch of ground. Rae kept running, the kid struggling in her grasp, yelling and hitting her, the ungrateful little brat. Glancing over her shoulder, Rae swore under her breath, practically throwing the child forward, just as a harpy swooped down, talons extended. Rae threw herself to the ground, dodging most of the blow, but the creature clipped her, sending her tumbling forward, bruising her shoulder and back. She landed right on top of a picnic basket, contents spilled across the grass. Grabbing for a weapon, her fingers found something cool and metal. Glancing at her weapon, she almost laughed. A butter knife, 12 inches long, with a dull five-inch blade. Yeah, fight the harpies with a butter knife. Genius.
She shook the thought off and held the blade tightly, bracing herself as another man-headed bird swooped towards her. At least the kid had gotten away safe. Sheā€™d checked- a woman had grabbed him and ran. Focus, Rae, she thought, though part of her was yelling at her to run as well, to cower and hide. But she didnā€™t standing firm and focusing on the beast diving at her. Dodging the talons, she grabbed its foot, jumping up. The harpy, not expecting the added weight, shrieked as Rae swung herself up to its back, plunging the blade towards its face, feeling it sink into something to the hilt, hot blood spilling over her hand. The harpy plummeted to the ground, Rae jumping away at the last second landing, miraculously, on her feet, as the harpy hit the ground with deadly force. She was breathing hard, staring at the dead beast, unable to tear her eyes away. Finally she closed her eyes, turning away, remembering there were others like it. The lion-beast had gone, following the majority of the crowd, as had many of the harpies, and the weird birds were nowhere to be seen. A few harpies remained, however, and were watching her with beady eyes. Scooping up more tableware, she threw it at them with surprising accuaracy, hitting their faces, their necks, their wings. Another fell, and if it hadnā€™t been dead before, it certainly was now, tangled up in the playground. The rest stayed back, most fleeing. Gasping for air, Rae braced her hands on her knees, the ground swimming in front of her.
Someoneā€™s there. Rae glanced up, feeling someoneā€™s prescence, before whoever it was- she had a brief impression of beauty- grabbed her, and the park disappeared, and another view swam into being, green hills stretching away from her and another person kneeling in the grass. She realized why as a sense of dizziness surfaced, making her sway and close her eyes for a moment, feeling the adrenaline rush subside and astonishment replacing it.

With eyes still remained closed, Cordelia didn't budge or bother to stand from the ground. Surprisingly, even if it was hard it felt comfortable on her back. She could hear a faint sound of water dripping, like it was from a fountain from her left. Then a series of footsteps that seem to belong to children running past by her and filling the air with giggles and laughter. Am I dead? She questioned herself when her shoulder started to ache. Nope, definitely alive. With a dry sense of humor, she slowly sat up and opened her eyes. Her right hand caressing her left shoulder as she winced in pain. Everything was just white- as in white. No walls, no doors. She couldn't even point out the division of the floor to the walls, if ever there was any.

"Fuck! I'm in heaven?" She blurted, the force making her wince once more. Not exactly how she imagined heaven would look like. Where are the clouds and the angels? Or is she in mental institution? Cor then started wandering around and looking for the source of the sounds she heard earlier, there must be a way out. She needs to find Luke fast. She can't lose him.

"Hello?! Anybody?!" She called out. Cor also noticed that her voice didn't emit any echo which only proves her theory that there are no limits to where she was. She then started to feel her shoulder relaxing, the pain slowly decreasing. The thirst in her throat was slowly pacified as well. She was starting to fell better than ever when her ears start to catch the sound of footsteps again. She roamed her look around but she was still alone. She tried calling out again, "Hello?! Who are you?! HELLOOOOOOO!!!!" Louder this time she started walking towards the north (or supposedly where she was facing).

A swift black shape suddenly whizzed by her left side, making her turn and pause. "What the?!" It then started whizzing past her right from behind her. "Shit!!!" As much as she tried being brave, the hair on her body started rising. She started looking for anything she can use as a weapon but there was nothing except for her blood stained clothes and shoes. So Cor decided to remove her stilettos, arming each of her hand with it's pointy heels and did a fighting stance when she heard a soft and calming voice, "Calm my child..."

"Huh?!", Cor followed the voice but as much as she tried, she couldn't. She was growing weaker again. The thirst in her throat was killing her. She choked and coughed.

"It is you my child... Be calm and open your eyes... Open everything that feeds your curiousity... Open... Open everything..." The voice slowly and softly called out as if the owner of the voice was just by her side and whispering in her ears. Then the sound of water dripping started growing louder and as soon as Cor turned around a small fountain made of mother of pearl shells was dripping with golden hued water. It wasn't yellow nor was it water with food coloring, it was gold. Cor dropped her shoes immediately and rushed towards the source of liquid. She cupped her hands and started drinking, not caring in the world if it could kill her. She just wanted to drink and drink and drink...

Her clothes were almost wet, the blood stains washing away, leaving Cor cleaner without her realizing. Once her thirst was quenched, she let her body drop on the white bottom as she grew drowsey, she tried to fight the sleepiness off but she just grew weaker. Until she fell asleep.

~~~~~~~

It felt like eternity until Cor woke up from her dream. If it was really a dream then she doesn't know what was happening to her now. She just found herself under a large tree, her back on it's roots. She looked up to see a magical fruit that reminded her of the golden liquid she consumed in her "dream". She was underneath a peculiar kind of apple tree, for it's fruit color was in the shade of gold. A couple dropped on her lap, creating a flopping sound. She picked one up as she the hunger in her stomach protested her slowness but something in her stopped her from consuming it. A few more dropped on her lap as if the tree was doing it on purpose for the fruits to land on her. Soon she had about a dozen of the golden fruit. She didn't know what to do with it but she gathered them up her arms as she stood up. Realizing she was in a forest, she looked around and suddenly heard a voice. Shouting about a farm, a farm and a girl named Liza. She hurriedly followed the voice to see a few people on their back and on the grass fields, including Luke while the owner of the voice started growing horns on his head, "What the?!"

So Cor wasn't really dreaming at all.

Rae stared at the boy who started screaming, grimacing as his voice assualted her ears, and looking away queasily when he seemed to...ripple and change. She was faintly relieved when someone yelled at him to shut up, and she realized she probably should be figuring out where she was, and why there were a bunch of other teens with her. She'd barely had time to look over at them before someone appeared before them all. Looking at him disbelievingly, she shook her head in denial at his words. Olympian gods...they were fantasy, myths, not real. Given, some weird things had been going on today, but that didn't mean that everything he said was true. Or even any of it. She watched him progress to each of them individually, and carefully studied the other's reactions. When he finally reached her, she had her arms crossed, defensive.

"You have Artemis inside of you," he said, smiling at her. Or...maybe he was smirking? He opened his mouth to add someting, but hesitated, and finally shook his head, moving on without another word. Artemis...goddess of the moon, Rae knew that much. But something was telling her it was much more than that, goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, childbirth, and..virginity. It made Rae blush, just thinking about it. To get herself off of that mental track, she looked at the scenery, studiously ignoring the others, still trying to come to grips with this weirdness. She almost thought it was a dream, but surely even her dreaming mind could not conjure something so...strange. And yet...she pinched herself curiously, and felt pain, and knew that this was real, and worse, it must be true. Nothing else could explain the strange circumstances she found herself in.

Just as Demi opened her eyes to see a few more people lying on top of earth and grass, she felt a few nudges as she realized that the wild flowers had tried to bring her back to consciousness. So far too much had happened and she couldn't take any thing anymore and somehow she was glad that there are a few other people around her, strangers they maybe, they were still better than being alone. She saw her bag had also found its way a few feet away from her.

And just as Demi thought everything was turning out okay, a guy around the same age but dressed differently started shouting but was stopped by another guy just in time for the figure who had "kidnapped" her to appear out of thin hair. He spoke about the reason why they were taken and Demi thought she had gone crazy when the man who called his self Ganymede strode towards her after. He smiled and closed his eyes as he muttered a name, "Demeter..."

"Huh?" A frazzled look appeared in Demi's face, confused by what he had mentioned. It was Alice who was fond of these things, not her! So why is she here, she's no God.

"Demeter was a peace-loving deity and the source of all growth and life; she was the goddess who provided all nutrition on the earth and taught mortals how to cultivate the earth and ease life. Demeter was most appreciated for introducing wheat to mankind, making man different from animals..." This time Ganymede opened his eyes and explained. "You are her Champion..." he offered Demi and leaving her confused.


It explains everything, from the Wisteria to the Oak tree and the wild flowers earlier. But if she is a champion then why does she feel scared? Demi's lips quivered as she slowly sat back down the grass, hugging her knees while her left hand clutched the heirloom necklace she had on her neck as tears started brimming in her eyes, ready to fall any moment. She wants to go home.

~~~~~~~

"Luke!" Cor shouted, trying to balance the golden apples in her arms as she rushed towards her ex boyfriend. No longer disturbed by the boy who grew horns.

Luke turned his head just in time to see Cordelia with what looked like a bunch of golden fruit. She was cleaner than he had last seen her, the trace of snake blood was no where to be seen unlike the way he looked. She looked beautiful and inviting but he knew he had enough of her. He clenched his fist and shook his head, just when he thought he had lost her behind.

"What are you doing here?!" Instead of asking if she was okay, he sounded like a complaining customer. "What are those?!" He gestured towards her arm load.

"Luke! Thank goodness you're here! I- I was just-" She lifted her arms to show look the golden fruits when she was interrupted by a blinding light as a man (or was it a woman?) appeared out of nowhere and wearing what looked like an ancient Greek robe. He introduced his self to everyone, approaching each and everyone and telling them which Greek God they were connected to. As soon as he left a girl who had apparently look like she's having a breakdown, Ganymede walked (more of floated) towards Luke.

But unlike the rest, he wasn't smiling when he approached the boy. His face grew stern and hard as he looked at Luke from head to toe then raised a queer eyebrow when he noticed that Cordelia was behind him. "Ahhh... the ever obsession of Ares and Eris..." He spoke coldly, still without a welcoming look on his face.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Cor reprimanded pretty boy. She was getting pissed at the way he scrutinized their looks. So okay, she dressed like she's going to a night club- but who knew the world will be ending today?!

"The Goddess of Discord never failed to follow the God of War. If I were you I'd be careful," Ganymede left them with a cold expression and eased off towards another person. Leaving Cordelia pissed, she was about to throw one of the apples towards the Greek when Luke held her hand and gave her a frown. "Look Cor, can you just go back home?" He released a frustrated sigh as his grip became tighter. He was obviously just as pissed at her.

She stood shocked as the apple fell from her hand and so did the others from her left arm. "Do you fucking know where we are?!" She wanted to kick him, it isn't like she knew her way back home. "Do you think I wanted this?! Being attacked and seeing things that a mental patient would experience?!"

"I never asked you to come!!!" Luke's voice grew louder and harsher, letting go of her wrist and pushing Cordelia away. Too strong this time that she fell on the grass with an anger that matched his.

"I told you to get away from me!" He glowered at her, doing his best to control his anger. If what Ganymede said was true, could he really be the champion of the God of War. Is it the reason why he always gets into fight and leaving it unscathed?

Cordelia tried to stand up from her fall, but it looked like it was worse than before. Her hips ached as dirt covered her legs and arms. She was surrounded by the Golden Apples that still looked fresh and inviting for everyone to eat. Who is Eris, and what does the revelation have to do with the place she had been to before?
