Tyler approached the old worn house that was Half Blood Orphanage with his best friend Grover a satyr and servant to the god of wine and parties. Tyler was you're typical California surfer dude great body very tanned and sun bleached hair and sea green eyes. "so you're telling me I'm the son of Apollo the sun god" Tyler asked for the millionth time Grover sighed "yes he is now hurry up now that you know you're most likely to be attacked by monsters and once you make it past the gate you'll be safe."
grover said no sooner had Tyler taken a step towards the gate then a Cyclops swiped at him from out of nowhere and knocked him into the wall. "crap" Tyler groaned he could tell by instinct he had a cracked rib. The Cyclops lunged at him again but this time he lept to the side avoiding the hand. Tyler was now standing in bright sunlight the adrenaline stopping the pain the light blinded him and he put his hand to his eyes the sun reflected off it like a mirror hitting the Cyclops right in the belly. It howled in pain and Tyler ran at him and jumped on it and looked around he grabbed a branch and shoved it in the Cyclops eye and it turned to dust and Tyler fell to the ground and blacked out. When he woke up he saw a girl feeding him ambrosia and nectar and smiling at him kindly "great you're awake" Sonny said there was a click and in walked a gothic looking girl "hey rain can you do me a favor and take care of him I need to run to my room for a minute" Sonny asked

"This the new kid that Grover brought? Son of Apollo?" Rain asked. Her gothic dark clothes fit her well. She sat next to the bed, and half smiled at Tyler. "Name's Rain, daughter of Hades."

Kacie had been monitoring the appearance of the new kid since he appeared, wondering exactly who he was. She wasn't interested in him for his looks [ok, maybe a little...], it was just that new people always intreged her. You never knew what they were going to do next. She swiveled around her parring group and twisted into the infirmary, seeing that Rain had already arrived. "Glad to see you're awake," she said, pulling off her halmet, letting her golden hair fall. She gave her head a quick shake to keep their hair even, then smiled at Tyler. "Name's Kacie. Welcome to our little camp."

Tyler woke up and saw kacie and he went from a pained face to a flirty face as he always did when their were cute girls in the room. "so uh which one of you three lovely ladies saved my life" Tyler said showing off his perfect teeth

"None of us saved your life, but we've been keeping an eye on you so you wouldn't die on us." Kacie put a hand out and moments later a vine coiled out of the ground to stand just taller than she. At the tip of the stem a large apple grew, then dropped cleanly into her outstretched palm. As quickly as it appeared it reseeded, and the blonde sat on the edge of his bed, taking a bite of it. "How're you feeling?"

"so this is half blood orphanage it looks great compared to the outside" Tyler said shivering he was used to the warm air of California not the cold weather of Seattle, Washington. Sonny continued to work on his leg when she had set the cast she walked over to the cabinet and got him and extra blanket. "you'll get used to the weather" Sonny said with a flirty smile as the daughter of the goddess of love she could tell who a persons soul mate is and when she first laid eyes on him she knew she was his soulmate but he wanted him to make the right moves to make her like him but she had no problem being flirty with him

Rain rolled her eyes at Sonny. Daughter of Aphroditie...ugh. Rain stood up and said, "I have to go. Chiron needed to talk to me, and it seems you two have this kid under your wonderful care." She left the hut, and went to find the centaur.

Tyler smiled he liked Sonny but then again he liked alot of girls "here Tyler you should eat more of this" Sonny said giving him a little more nectar and ambrosia. Tyler took a drink of the nectar and it tasted like warm cookie dough and the ambrosia tasted like a honey comb. "Kacie i need to take care of a few more people would you show him his dorm he should be the only son of apollo the others have left to live their lives" Sonny said as she left the room

Sitting alone by the stream, the sound of the birds and the bubbling water combined with the smell of wild mint and pine cones, Jared sharpened the flints of his arrows. The sharp scrap of his knife on stone pierced through the forest, but it disturbed not him nor the wildlife around him. They knew who he was and trusted him not to hunt in this forest.

The son of Artemis, Jared Hunter, had been the one to drag Tyler inside the orphanage, but had almost immediately regretted doing so. The moment Sonny had laid eyes on the unconious boy, Jared had known. He had seen the look in her eyes. The pair of them were soulmates, and the girl of his dreams had been cruelly snatched away by some stinking son of Apollo. What a way to start the morning. Still, the proud hunter did not let it bother him. He and Sonny had barely exchanged words anyway, and being the son and daughter of Apollo and Aphrodite, the two would probably hit it off with the flirting as soon as he came round. They'd be sneaking off to each other's tents by dinner time, no doubt.

Pausing a moment to reflect, Jared shook his head and continue his work. Falling for a daughter of Aphrodite, how typical. The brooding loner and the flirty blonde? Yeah, never gonna happen. It was natural for Sonny to go for someone more like herself, not Jared who had never spoken a word to her. The next slice of his knife became so angry and fast, Jared yelped and jumped up in pain. He had sliced the skin off his finger. Great, just fantastic. Glancing around, he couldn't see any plants which would help the bleeding, so he headed to the stream. Cleaning the wound and then tearing off a small part form his trainning shirt, he created a makeshift bandage which quickly became red.

Sighing, the brunette fell onto his backside, sucking the wound and feeling more than a little sorry for himself.

It had only been two weeks since Jason Fletcher had came to this half-blood Orphanage and he still had his mother...but still, he'd been forced to come. A son of Eros--a grandson of Aphrodite. Seriously? He hardly looked it. Acne, lanky hair, glasses...and he was a demi-god? Not only that--the god of Passion and Desire was his dad. Not just some random god of earth worms or something... Unfortunately, he had been pounced upon by his Aphrodite cousins (or aunts, wasn't it?) during his first few days and well...the turn out on his appearance (as expected) did come to be one that was actually pretty good-looking.

Jason had taken to his bow after his inherited "Adonis" genes had kicked in. Yeah, he was used to being followed by girls (and back then he hadn't known why) but now it was getting crazy. Shortly after entering the orphanage, he discovered he was beginning to surpass most arching skills and refused to accept someone could possibly be better. He could deal with some archers but if someone (and he got news of this too) like Apollo came around...yeah, even Jason knew of the rivalry between those the two gods. Even though it was more of a 'competing friendship'...
In the woods, Jason hid up in a tree, the silver bow slung over his back as he shook his dark hair from his eyes. He could sense a crush a mile away and boy, was this one strong...leaning forward so one long hand hung from the branch he looked down at a son of Artemis by the stream thinking about a certain someone--oh-ho the irony, indeed.

"You know, I heard that there's a son of Apollo that's a new kid...Sonny kinda likes him."
At that, he dropped to the forest floor, his boots crunching in the leaves.

"Lemmie have one shot and she can be yours, man." Reaching a hand forward, he ruffles the other's hair jokingly. Nobody ever gave him the chance to actually use something he could do...quite well.

"Sure think," Kacie replied, eyes following Sonny as she left. She'd never been a fan of the daughters of aphrodite; there were just to damn many of them, and they all had to be drop-dead gorgeous.. She stood from the side of his bed, pulling around Tyler's bed to grab a map of the camp, then crouched beside him. "See here? This is where you are now. If you go this way, that's your cabin. You'll know it when you see it, it's one of the few that are empty, like mine. I can't bring you there now, 'cause I've got to go work on my sparring, but maybe I'll see you there later?" The blonde stood, folding the map and flicking it onto his lap, smiling sweetly, then pulled out of the infirmary.

Once outside, she pulled at her tunic stings, working to keep the tight-fit comfortable. As she walked her eyes flickered to Jason and Jared. What were they talking about? Kacie took a guess; girls, and at that, probably one of the aphrodite bunch. She scoffed a little, annoyed that she was being outmatched by a bunch of dumb little sissies; well, some of them were, anyway. When her helmet was once more on she turned back to her sparring parter, and they once more began to perfect her famous fighting skills.

Tyler stood up now able to walk on his leg he walked outside and he saw Sonny and smiled flirtishly at her then he walked over to an archery range where he saw Jared a son of artemis and Jason a son of Eros both shooting a bow incredibly well. Tyler naturally being good at archery and being naturally being incredibly boastful. "hey how bout a match" Tyler said with a competitive glint in his eyes. Meanwhile Sonny donned her battle armor and walked onto the sparring field and saw Kacie taking a break. "Hey need a partner" She said in her usual cheerful tone. "I've been so busy working in the infirmary I need to spar to keep my skill up"

Jason had left the overly love-sick Jared as he finally drifted out of hiding. He understood that Aphrodite's girls were pretty but...hey, they were his aunts. He couldn't fall for someone...quite that closely related to himself. Seemed sort of sick.

Later that afternoon, Jason had thought of a safe place none of the girls would go: Training. And the teenager had dwindled hours there until the late afternoon shooting arrows to the point that someone had to go on Pegasuses to see if he had hit the target--which he had always did. It was in his blood, of course. His dad was known for always hitting his mark. Jason was usually gentle-looking when he shot but he had always hit the target straight on no matter the distance.
Turning swiftly on the blonde, the brunette smiled gracefully in the eye of a challenge, arrow already nocked.
"Apollo's kid, right? Finally, a decent challenge. I hope you live up to expectations."
He takes himself out of position to allow the other to have a go.

Tyler smirked he loved a good challenge and a son of eros none the less "this should be interesting Eros is one of the best Archers he's up there with my Dad, and artemis"Tyler said pulling out a golden bow and with golden arrows a gift from his father he found in his cabin he fired an arrow at the farthest target and hit a bulls-eye.

"Hph. Yeah. But then again, you're not quite Apollo. And...my mom balanced arrows as a living so I've kinda got this family archery thing down pat."
Taking a deep breath, Jason re-nocked his arrow, catching a glimpse of the gold arrows Apollo had supplied his son. It was, no doubt, a stolen idea. Besides, silver was stronger, he reminded himself. Riiight...
With one fluid motion, the silver string was drawn toward his face finally resting at the corner of his serious mouth. Standing erect with his body in the shape of a 'T', he finds the point of the target and aims. Jason takes into account the wind (and the easy-going demi-god beside him...if he turned a liiiitle bit to the right...) Finally, he lets his two fingers free and watches the red fletching soar past the target that Tyler had hit and make a thud deep in the forest.
"I coulda done that Robin Hood thing and split your arrow down the middle...but I'm writing my name on a tree with tiny pricks. If you want to, by all means take a walk with me...I'm almost done with the 'S'."

Tyler smiled he liked this guy "so hey Jason yeah i Know you're name my dad is the god of prophecy so very rarely i get small glimpses into the future so yeah you do the math but uh what can you tell me about that girl Sonny I mean I lived in Cali and I thought Cali girls where hot but she man is one of the hottest girls I've ever seen"Tyler said

"Well Tyler, I know your name too. And now I can say that it is truly a pleasure," Jason chuckled, summoning his arrows with a flick of his wrist as each silver light returned to his quiver. "So you want me to tell you if you and Sonny are gonna be a thing. Right?" Shaking his dark hair from his eyes, he makes a face. Everyone asked this question! "You think she's pretty. I don't need you to tell me that, first of all, it's been written all over your overly-tanned face. Second, almost every guy in this place has a crush on her. Third, I dunno if she was one of the many that jumped me when I came to this place but...they did this." He points with a rather annoyed expression to his face but continues. "Since I'm Eros' son, I have to live with the Aphrodite girls. All of 'em. And they are my aunts...so break any of their hearts metophorically...you'll physically have yours broken. No, I'm not interested in anyone I live with. Yeah, there might be a chance with her for you. There's a loverboy that thinks you two are soulmates but I don't see it yet. Just flirting is what I see...which you sons of Apollo are so well known for."

"wow you can tell that much just from looking at me" Tyler said amazed "and also my face is not overly tan is it and also yeah I flirt alot but every girl I've ever been with broke up with me so trust me I'm no heartbreaker hey you wanna see something really cool" Tyler asked with a grin on his face

The first response to Tyler is an eye-roll and a simple: "Dude, you're brown. You're too tan."
With a sigh, the other responds, "Well of course they've broken up with you or else you'd be married by now, I take it. And sure, lemmie see what you can do but if it's the fact you've got a double-jointed elbow...really...you can keep that skill to yourself." With another graceful chuckle, Jason eyes a group of Aphrodite girls on the other side of the training field having an argument with a group of dryads.

After a round of battle, Kacie took a breather, filling her lungs with the much needed oxygen. She pulled off her helmet and took the liberty of enjoying the other training. Since her mother was brother to Zeus, she had natural fighting blood in her, and since her father had been specialized in military combat, it all came easy. The only people who gave her a challenge were the children of Athena, since they were, as well, born with war blood. She looked up as Sonny approached, and she put on a delicate smile at the question, hiding the want to turn away from the gorgeous girl, feeling dull compared to her. "Sure, I don't see why not." Kacie stood, adjusting her tunic a little before putting her helmet under her arm and tugging back on her sparring glove. "So let's start his, now shall we?" she asked, replacing her helmet and moving several paces back before lunging in a defensive pose.

Tyler led Jason to the garage and opened the door revealing an exact replica of the sun chariot "Another gift from my dad" Tyler said with a huge grin "wanna take it for a spin" He asked. Meanwhile over in the backyard Sonny drew her sword and shield both were pink a gift from her mother and who convinced Hephaestus to make celestial bronze sword and shield but enchant it to make it pink. Alot of people underestimated Sonny they thought she was one of the omg I broke a nail daughters of Aphrodite but she wasn't she wanted to stay alive so she worked hard to keep up with most of the other kids. Sonny made the first move a quick slice followed by a fast stab towards Kacie.

The blonde too drew her weapons, an almost ornimental longsword and her dagger at her hip. Kacie threw herself backwards into a back-hand-spring, then landing lightly on her feet and twisting to the side. As she did her feet met the side of a rock and she quickly pressed forward, using her momentum to stay running almost parallel to the ground. As she did this she dove towards Sonny, striking out a leg to cut her feet from under her, but also jabbing out her sword. In this she pulled up her other armored forearm to protect herself from any oncoming blow.

Sonny saw the move coming and jumpedin the air doing a flip avoiding the attack then she feinted a punch then slashed with her sword.

Kacie stood in a turn, sword clanging against Sonny's, twisting it cleanly so both swords clattered away. She threw out a hand and caught the girl's punch and paused, grinning under the light sweat. "You're good," she commented.

There's a brief silence before Jason agrees with a laugh, "Man, Apollo is generous. I'll admit I was never given a means of transportation..." Oh, the temptation was strong to say yes. It was only a replica...there was no way that it had the power of the actual chariot. And Tyler wouldn't be as bad as his brother, Phaethon and do something bad like scorch Africa and die, right? With a grin, Jason nods. "If we get in trouble, you absolutely forced me to come with you, got it?"
