The hidden owls listened to the demi-gods. It seemed like the boys were being sincere but the girl a bit stubborn. How...amusing. Normally it was the girl sincere and the boy stubborn. Juan glared at Jasper "We are no allies of you," he said in a cold hard voice. The owls whispering for them to keep their guard and just listen. Juliet though laughed. "We take your weapons cause we don't want them used against us, but you can have them back after you leave 30 feet from here." studying Jasper she spoke over Juan "Our allies are only those of the wisest and purest." Hayley hearing Terry though had a different way of speaking. It was strange and happy. "A quest! How exciting!" the girl in violet smiling. Shooting a glance at Juan she flicked her fingers the walls around the questers closing in. Smiling she pulled Juan and Juliet out from the tinniest crack as she let the rest collapse. "Good luck! Ohh and, they see all, they know everything." the only warning she gave them before letting the floor under them collapse and having them fall 10 feet to land clumsily infront of two large owls, one snowy white the other jet black. They talons gold, and their beaks sharp and pointy. They matching stormy gray eyes studying the children and in a minute knew every aspect of them.
Matt shook his head as Jasper spoke "They seem a bit...aggresive..." he whispered. Then the walls started closing in "I'm feeling...A bit...cramped..." he muttered trying to shift away from the rest of the campers. But the second he finally got to breathe he began free falling. Landing with a ruff thud on the cold ground. Rubbing his hands he sat up to see two large owls. "Oh..." he breathed. His green eyes wide.

Terry looked around as the walls began closing in. He looked for Shade, who he saw appear. Then they were falling out. The ground had simply disappeared. He landed painfully onto the floor on his arm. "Ow! Could've been a bit gentle-" He stopped in mid-sentence as he scrambled to his feet to face two owls. They were large. Their gray eyes piercing as if studying him. It made him want to run. He didn't want them to know his secrets.
Shade jumped back as the walls began to move. The entrance to the tunnel closed off. He could try to shadow travel everyone before they got crushed....but then the ground collapsed under them before he could think about trying. He contacted the hard ground painfully on his back. It took him a while to recover and gain his bearings. He saw Terry stand up, holding his left arm. Shade blinked in surprise as he struggled to sit up. The owls were in front of them.

Kat fell. Her green eyes widening with fear as she hit the ground with a hard thud. Scrambling to her feet she looked upwards angrily. Grr, how could they have not given a warning. But she felt eyes on her. Shivering, she turned around and looked straight at the jet black creature. Taking a step back she glared at it. They know everything... the words rang in her head. How could they know everything? How was that fair, wait did that mean they knew what she was thinking?!? Walking next to Terry she whispered the same words they were told before "They know everything...do you think...they know what we are thinking?" she wondered.

"Yeah, probably even more than that..." Terry whispered back. He looked at her concerned. "You okay? You didn't land too hard, did you?"

Jasper was about to take a step forward when the ground disappeared. He fell in silence and fell onto his back and a he saw his life flash right before his eyes. He slowly sat upright, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once it did, he saw a white owl and a jet black owl. He stood up, and blinked. Jasper wobbled a bit and touched his cheek. He looked at it to see fresh blood. He groaned, then looked at the owls.

The owls looked at every demigod with piercing eyes "We know everything, including your thoughts. So don't bother lying to us, what is your identity, and why have you come?" the jet black owl spoke harshly. The white one watching them and listening to their old thoughts.
Matt blinked and tried not to seem freaked out. His green eyes studying them as they studyied him. Seeing a box next to them he figured thats where their weapons went.

Looking at Terry with round eyes she nodded "Yeah I'm f-fine..." she whispered. Then the owl spoke, sending a shiver down her spine. Speaking up before anybody else could introduce her she said "I'm Kathrine, this is Terry son of Hermes, Jasper son of Hapheasus, Shade son of Hades, Matthew son of Dionysus, and (ehh we will pretend he's here) Kayden son of Zeus..." she didn't look at the owls as she spoke. Her mind begging for them not to ask for more. She wanted this to be over with, it was too wierd for her.

(People spell Hephaestus wrong)
'Crap. They can read minds. Better not think of anything too important' he thought. " I believe that you have not been introduced. So what are your names?" Jasper tried to sound as calm as possible

Terry was cautiously silent, staring at the two owls. He could feel his mind being searched, his secrets being probed. He wanted them out. He didn't want to share his secrets. "We're on a quest, and we need guidance from those who know all." He said, stepping forward in front of his friends. That way if they decided to attack in any way, he would be able to block it.

(sorry )
Kat nodded in agreement to what Terry said her green eyes on the ground. She tried to hide her secret away from them as they searched her memories, and her lies. Shifting positions she avoided the owls glances.

The white owl spoke to Terry in a somewhat kinder voice. It's eyes piercing through his soul. "And why should we help you? What do you have to offer?" the black owl on the other hand watched Kat. Cocking his head to the side "Why are you trying to hide the truth?" but then looked at Jasper "Their is no point in trying to hide anything, we are the ones who know all. And that will be our names to you, since our true names are sacred,"
Matt glanced at Kat questioningly as the owl spoke to her. But most of his attention was on the white owl "What is it you want?"

Kat turned pale when the owl spoke to her. And avoided Matts green glance. Silently releasing a sigh of relief as Matt pointed the subject away from her.

Terry gazed at Kat for a while, not missing her pale face. But he didn't want to make her uncomfortable by asking. He would later. He turned to the owl. What did he have to offer? He couldn't think of anything. "Name the price. I don't have much to give..."

Kat then had a idea "Why do you ask us questions if you know all? What is it you dont know that we do?"

The owls looked at Terry "What do you have that we don't?" they asked. Their eyes glistening. They had everything. Or so they thought. But the girl's question drew them back slightly. Their amusement clear. Insolence, such insolence from one so small...But they ignored her this time.
Matthew stepped forward. "Um...how about a tiny dolphin?" pulling out a tiny dolphin from his pocket.
