Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE]

She knew full well she was lying.There was no secret army,and there was no prophecy.She just liked mind games.

Melina finally came to a stop. What was she doing? She was a daughter of Athena, she was supposed to know whether something was right or wrong; whether something was a trick or not. Melina thought about it for a moment. If there was supposed to be such a great prophecy, wouldn't Chiron have alerted her that she was apart of it? Even Kai, and the other possible demigod? Yes, he would be the first to know. This was all a trick, and Melina fell for it with ease. How embarrasing. How mortified her mother must be.

"Trickster!" she bellowed. Melina refused to refrain from becoming even more angered than she already was. She'd probably caused Athena so much embarrassment, and the gods on Mount Olympus were probably already mocking her. Melina, being dedicated and caring daughter she is, wouldn't let that happen again. In fury, she threw her celestial bronze sword at the mercenary. It spinned in a circular motion, aimed at her abdomen. The twelve year old knew her assault wasn't going to be effective. That's exactly what she wanted. She had already planned something out. A strategy that she had been working on for a few months all alone. Hopefully her time spent in the arena would also assist her.

The girl laughed and knocked the thrown sword a few feet away with her own."Your attacks are simple.Try something better." She didn't attack and simply waited for the next move to be made.

Nobody had yet noticed,but Kyle had disappeared,looking for Kai.

After a few seconds of nursing her anger, Melina reached for her side, where a small, black sheath hung from her belt. Gripping the hilt inside the sheath, she pulled out a bronze, circular shaped dagger. The blade itself was mended in a circular form, along with the hilt. Seperating the blade from the hilt was the guard, which stood out like the collar of a clown's costume, only smaller, of course. On the guard were engraved several names: Aristotle, Homer, Leonides, Achilles, Heracules, etc. Based on Melina's years of studying the dagger, it belonged to Alexander the Great. Melina remembered her mother giving her father the blade, as if she knew a day like this would come. A day where her daughter's attacks would be useless. Melina never planned on keeping the dagger, and would return it to Alexander's grave once she was finished with it.

The twelve year old charged forward. She founder herself moving more swiftly with the dagger than she ever did with her sword. Maybe with this particular weapon she could travel faster than the mercenary, and take her out with it.

The girl gasped.That quickness.That.. what the Hades?How was she moving so fast?

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sun Apr 17, 2011 8:06 pm

Melina could almost hear the voices of the gods' on Mount Olympus mocking her mother. Were they real, though? "Ha! What a loser your daughter is, Athena!" The twelve year old guessed that the voice belonged to Ares. Athena seemed that she was remaining quiet; almost like she was waiting for something.

The daughter of Athena's pace became faster. The weight of the dagger was almost nothing, and Melina was suprised at the speed she was now capable of when wielding a weapon. She had been so used to running around with a sword in her hands that she forgot what it was like to be completly weightless. It almost reminded her of the days she spent on her school's track team.

"Well?" Melina questioned, going in for a stab to the neck. "Is this how you planned the ending of the battle?" Melina felt much more confident about the fight more than she did at the beginning of the battle. She was determined to take the mercenary down. Restoring the respect her mother deserved was the only thing that mattered to her now. She wouldn't even let herself be the laughing stock of Olympus. Right now, proving herself worthy was all that mattered; even if it meant taking the life of her boyfriend's kidnapper.

The girl was surprised, but not surprised enough not to react."My life is expendable,I'll cheat death once again.I always do." She smiled.She let the dagger hit her neck and her body fell lifeless,unbeknownest to everyone else,that had been the fourth time,which should have been impossible.

A yell came from a few feet away."I think I found him!"

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Mon Apr 18, 2011 8:49 pm

I run towards Kyle's scream. My hearing could pin point where that can from. I was running then something triped me. I fell to the ground then rolled over. There was a hand out of the ground. It had no flesh on it and I freaked out. I jumped back on my feet and backed away from it.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Mon Apr 18, 2011 9:48 pm

"Einai ginei," Melina murmured. Epistrofi sto gio tou tafou tou Dia. Megas Alexandros." After she had spoken her words in modern Greek, the dagger disappeared; returning to the grave of its owner. She then retrieved her celestial bronze sword, which had ended up sticking out of the trunk of one of the large trees.

Cocking her head to the side, Melina recognized Kyle's voice. Halo lied on the ground also, a skeloton's hand grasping one of her heels. "The undead?" she questioned. "Why are they here?"

~ Einai ginei. Epistrofi sto gio tou tafou tou Dia. Megas Alexandros. - It is done. Return to the son of Zeus' grave. Alexander the Great.

Kyle reappeared by walking forward."I don't know.Let's just get out of here before more mercenaries show up.I know for a fact her mercs hate her,but they still are pretty bad.I was always the one to retrieve their captives and pay them,so I know them all."

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Thu Apr 21, 2011 5:57 pm

Melina simply nodded her head. "Do you have enough energy to shadow travel?" The daughter of Athena pondered whether to ask her next question. Everytime she thought of him she felt like she was doing something wrong. She felt like she was letting her mother down. "And . . . did you find Kai?"

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Fri Apr 22, 2011 11:03 am

I walk back to them. A bony hand was laying what looked like dismembered on the ground. "I hate bones. Dead bones are the worst. Sometimes..." I whisper to myself.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 23, 2011 10:05 am

"No,Melina,I don't think I do." I replied."And to the second question,yes.Follow me."

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 23, 2011 10:18 am

Melina followed Kyle to Kai's destination. She kept her sword unsheathed, just in case anyone tried ambusing the group again. Cautiously, she glanced side to side, then returned her gray-eyed gaze on Kyle. "Is he here?"

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:54 am

"Yeah." There was a little cave over to the side,and there he was.He wasn't tied up or anything,but he seemed to be knocked out,or something."Now we just need to find out how to get back."

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:56 am

"Katuria?" I say one simple work. The name of my pegsi. "She is my pegsi. We can also get her daughter Star."

Melina was fine with getting back to camp on a pegasus. She was a pretty decent flier, after all. "Okay," she said simply. Hesitantly, she walked over to Kai and picked him up, then waited for Halo to call her pegasi.

I whistle and in a few minutes 2 pegsi comes out of the sky. I lead the bigger one to Melina. "This is Katuria she is really calm. You don't have to fly her she will fly anywhere if you just ask her." I walk back to Star and pet her forehead.

Melina grapsed the pegasus' reigns, lifting herself and Kai on its back. The twelve year old set Kai's unconscious body behind her, then focused on Kyle. "I think everyone's ready. Are you coming?"

I jump on Star's back. "Kyle you can ride with me if you want?" I rube Star's neck. She snorts and twists her head. I realize how much she has grown but she is still young.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Sat Apr 23, 2011 1:42 pm

"Alright." I said.I climbed up on the pegasi bracing for a long ride.Pegasi always seemed to hate me.I was never sure why.

Seeing that everyone was on board and ready, Melina slashed the reigns of the pegasus and took off. The wind ripped at the demigod's curly, blonde hair, and her gray eyes seemed to sparkle in the sun's light. She looked back on Kai, expecting to see him still unconcious. Then, she returned her focus to the direction the pegasus was traveling.

Melina had a lot on her mind after the recent battle. If there truely was no prophecy, then what was the point of capturing Kai? Why did the mercenaries have to go through all of this trouble to bring the group to them, and trick them? Was there something else about to happen? Nothing made sense. It only seemed like a waste of time.

We take off soon after her. I didn't even have rains on Star and I was just holding onto her mane. I looked behind me to make sure Kyle was still there and not freaking out. Then i turned back my braid flat on my back not going in his face i was thankful for.

Subject: Re: Saving Kai Crosshawk [PRIVATE] Tue Apr 26, 2011 9:19 pm

"Where in the Underworld are we..?" Said a voice that wasn't my own.I turned towards the pegusai Melina was on to find Kai waking up."Last thing I remember is fighting with my old 'friend'"

For only a small second, Melina turned her head toward Kai, and then refocused on the pegasus' path. "We're going back to camp," she said nonchalantly. "I don't know where we are exactly, but that doesn't matter. We need to get back to camp before anyone takes note of our disappearance."
