"Watch it!" Snapped Shade, yanking Dark back by the arm. the bolt missed his friend by a few inches. He knew it was there. Where was it? There! "Get back!" He ordered the shade, who obeyed. The ground erupted as an iron ore shot from the ground, absorbing most of the lightning. Shade leapt away as the sparks were momentarily down, pulling Dark with him.
Dark hissed at Silver, throwing a shard of obsidian at her while he was at it. Then he followed his master into the shadow of one of the trees. The monsters were retreating back into the forest as well. Shade and Dark were gone in a flash through shadow travel, leaving a blazing fire for the camp's to deal with.

"Why you-!!" Silene sprang forward in pursuit, shooting multiple ice daggers at them. But they imbedded themselves in the ground, missing their target that were no longer there... Frustrated the daughter of Khoine turned...only to be greeted by a wildfire in the clearing of the camp. She shot ice into a section, causing the flames to melt somewhat. She had used most of her energy fighting, and there wasn't going to be enough. Some campers were carrying buckets of water and beating some flames with towels or blankets. The fire was a problem because it had grown large while they were occupied with the son of Hades.

Silver watched the obisian shard come forward. But didn't move her clear sword wrapped in lightning as she held it up watching the shard bounce off like nothing. Her eyes dark staring at the sky she wished she had the power to make it rain. Silver though did remove the electricity from the air so that no lightning was accidentally making the fire grow. Silver took a step back and flicked around to go get some water since she couldn't help in that matter.
Renate watched as Shade saved Dark and felt disappointed as they started to leave. She thought they could actually be good people, despite the fact they were attacking camp... But she didn't linger and left to go find a hose.

Finally recovering himself from shock, Zeke turned to the fire and took as much of the air from the area around it as he could, slowing the fire's growth and suffocating it. He was weak - weary from battle. He couldn't keep up this feat. Instead, he began to make it snow just around the fire. The snow would melt and turn to water in the heat of the flame. It would be almost like it was raining.
His mind wandered to Shade. That was the first time since he joined the camp he could remember feeling scared. He could've died had it not been for Seline. Maybe... maybe he should be a little nicer to her. He really was in her debt. But it wasn't just the fire Shade had conjured which petrified him. No, Zeke had remembered something - a fragment of his past. He remembered fire. A large fire. It seemed to engulf all he saw. He shivered, and accidentally allowed oxygen into the fire, it blazing a little more, startling a few campers. He quickly added a little ice to the fire, hoping to put it out.
Julien quickly caught Tina. She'd done well but she seemed exhausted, now. He laid her down, gently, onto her bed and put a blanket over her. He quickly ran out to the Big House, sneaking in, and getting a glass of water. Laying it by her, on a small table, he stepped back outside and took in the damage. There was a large fire burning in the clearing with half the camp trying to put it out. The other half were either dead or injured. He saw some demigods struggling underneath plants with clawmarks, acid burns and fang holes in them, blood leaking out from between the vines. Tina had protected them. Julien quickly drew his knife and cut them free, telling them to get to the infirmary. A few campers gave him dirty looks, not wanting to take orders from a half-blood who'd been here not even half as long as they had, but went to thew infirmary, nonetheless.

Silene was frustrated, visibly giving off fumes of anger. The campers near her could feel her crackling tension, and backed away. She was seriously ticked. Shade had obviously lost his memories. Something bad had happened to the questers. She needed to know what had happened. This called for a cabin leader meeting later. The fire was a larger problem at hand, though.
The daughter of Khoine marched up to the blazing flames, her winter green eyes a deep and deadly shade. She held up her hands, mist bursting out around her, forming a large cloud. The freeze temperature clashed with the fire, causing condensed water droplets. She searched her inner resource of power, pulling it out fully. The air was tinted with white, her freeze spell was at it's strongest. A large and thick sheet of ice formed over a section of the flames. It dropped down, crushing the part of the fire and melting, spilling water into the grass. Whisks of smoke billowed up, and campers retreated back coughing. She paid the smoke no heed, her mist countering its affects by blowing around her. She started on making another for the other parts of the fire. She noticed Zeke drifting off. "Is something wrong?" She asked. Maybe it was a bit of concern. Zeke was her only cabin mate after all, even if he was so incredibly annoying.

Zeke glanced up at his superior. "No... no, nothing's wrong. I'm fine," he said, purposefully turning his back to her. "Uh... thanks, Seline, for... for what you did." With a glance back at her, he turned and blew the smoke Seline was causing upward, away from the campers. He'd almost died and was grateful to Seline for saving his life. He turned all his thoughts onto the smoke, ignoring everything else as each second he grew weaker and he wanted to rest as soon as possible and the only way to do so was to clean up what he saw as his mess and go to his cabin and relax. But he knew he wouldn't relax once he was done, today. He was too anxious for explanations. Too horrified by his memories. Taking another glance at Seline, he realized, for the first time, that she had actually saved his life. He'd figured he could just roll to the side but, seeing this fire and thinking back, there would have been no avoiding it. Freezing and destroying a tear before it ever left his eye, he began blowing the smoke over the Sound, otherwise it would simply fall back down onto the Camp.
Julien, after releasing all the campers trapped by Tina's vines, made his way to Silver. "We need to get a count of the dead. Tina buried them as you told her... she's passed out on the bed in the cabin... but there's no sign of where they were. Grass regrew over them," pausing, he continued, "We need to gather everyone together once that fire's out and have the cabin leaders take count of who's missing. As for the cabins with their leaders gone on the quest... the oldest should take count, I suppose." Realizing how calm he was, Julien felt as if he'd been through this before, although this was the first he'd ever been in an actual battle or in the aftermath, unless it was a small fistfight at school.

Silene didn't turn her eyes from Zeke. Her unwavering green gaze was doubtful of him being fine. Something was obviously agitating him. She probably would have prodded him, but her logic and usual belief to stay out of others' problems made her turn away. "If you say so."
The thanks made her freeze for a moment, stopping and making an incomplete sheet of ice snuff out the flames as they fell with a crash. She was at a loss of how to reply, being someone who hadn't gotten thanks in a long time. "What for? I am your cabin leader. It is my duty to protect campers." She replied cautiously.

Zeke didn't reply. He simply continued with his duty, clearing smoke and keeping as much air away from the fire as so it didn't fuel it with oxygen. He hoped the fire would shrink just from lack of oxygen and Seline's ice, but it still took half the camp with buckets full of water from the canoe lake to do anything worth celebrating. And still, the fire was only diminishing slowly. Had he been at his best, Zeke could have extinguished the flame without breaking a sweat but, now, he was straining his powers, doing everything in his power to keep the fire contained without falling to the ground.

Zeke was being quiet, and she was supposed to believe that nothing was wrong? Silene ignored the thought, however, and kept the ice going, creating large masses that collapsed onto the fire, soaking the burnt grass and sending smoke billowing around. Her fingers had a slight tremor to them. Her eyes stung and watered slightly. Her powers were beginning to wane.
Finally, the last area of the fire was put out, and she let out a small sigh. It hadn't gotten to the cabins because of the help of Zeke. She was relieved it was done, and really badly needed rest, but she knew the cabin leader meeting would be held soon, and she was going to have to attend.

"If you need me for anything else," Zeke said, walking past Seline, "I'll be in the cabin." With that, he set off toward the cabin, freezing the outside of it as he didn't trust the strength of the cabin after it had been on fire. Closing the door, icing over any holes, he laid on his bed and began to fall asleep, already feeling energy returning to him.

Silver made a large boom sound as the sky rumbled catching everyobe's attention. She listened to Julien and couldn't help but agree. Silene and Zeke having put out the fire. Her voice clear she spoke in a commanding tone. "All cabin leaders go to the Big House. I believe there are things we must...discuss," her eyes flashing dangerously before returning to a calm but intimidating stormy gray. "Julien you can either tag along since Kat isn't here to represent you or you can stay with Tina. She will be fine, she just strained her powers more than she was use to. It's common." she spoke inna quieter voice to Julien. She didn't seem to be looking at him. But rather at the dark sky deep in thought.

Julien contemplated the decision for only a moment before shaking his head. "I'll stay with Tina. There are only two demigods in the Demeter Cabin since Kat is out on the quest. We're in the minority, and I would only be representing one other half-blood. There's no point for me to come, I'd rather make sure Tina is okay." Glancing back at the Demeter Cabin, he added, "If you do need me, however unlikely that is, I'll come, but Tina is the priority. She's family - my only family, now. I need to take care of her and make sure she's fine before I go to a meeting in place of a Cabin Leader who may or may not still be alive...." At the last part, his voice died down, feeling guilty voicing his fears. He'd never met Kathrine but he still felt she was important to him. She was his older sister, after all. And she could help Julien with his powers - Tina, too, if she still needed help when Kat returned. But with Shade supposed to be on the quest with her, and him returning, suddenly, and attacking the Camp he called home, nothing was certain about the questers' whereabouts and well-being.
