"Pegasi.." Phoenix shrugged. "I'm Phoenix, or Nix by the way.." He said, standing up and putting his sword away. He led her out of the strawberry fields and toward the stables, biting his lip lightly. "Most get a bit spooked around me.." He warned her softly.
"Maybe they'll like me! The seahorses at the aquarium always seemed to like me. I know that they're not technically related, but still... My name is Helen, it's nice to meet you Nix!" Helen said, grinning. "So where are these pegasi?"
Phoenix shrugged. "They're in the stables over there." He nodded his head in the direction of the stables as they walked. "I think they'll like you. Cause of your father..." He seemed pretty sure that she was a daughter of Poseidon. Based on the story of her falling through the ice and sea creatures liked her.
At the sight of the stables, Helen picked up her pace, walking much quicker. In the fences, one of the pegasi trotted over to her, and nuzzled her in the face. "Why hello there!" Helen said sweetly, pushing the pegasus' away from her, so she could actually see it. "Aren't you a pretty thing!" she told her, gently stroking her head. "Why thank you!" it replied. Helen stepped back, staring at it like she had gone insane. "You can talk to me?" she blurted. "Um, yeah. You're a daughter of-" the horse began, but a blue glowing symbol of a trident glowed above her head. It looked quite comical, but Helen knew what it meant. "Poseidon." She finished the pegasus' sentence.
Phoenix was still a bit behind her but he saw the trident and smiled lightly. "Congrats.." He told Helen, glad she'd been claimed right away. He knew some people who weren't claimed for years and how tough it was.
Helen turned to Nix, and said with tears of laughter in her eyes, "I can talk to the pegasus. Literally talk to it. Communicate just as easily as I can with you. This is insane!" She wiped away a few stray tears and tried to contain her giggles.
Nix nodded. "Yeah. Kinda crazy isn't it..? Welcome to the world of demigods.." He said. He walked closer, careful not to disturb or scare the Pegasus beside her. "You're allowed to ride most of these. Some belong to or will only let certain campers ride them though.."
"Really? Only certain campers? Hmmm..." Helen said, contemplating what he had said. The horse nudged Helen's arm again, and told her, "Hop on and I'll show you around. A sky view of everything." Helen looked back at Nix, and translated, "She wants to show me around from the sky, care to join me?"
"I've got a Pegasus here.. So I'll meet you up there.." Nix smiled at her before walking into the stables. He looked around and walked to a Pegasus at the last stall. It was one of his father's Pegasi but he let Alex ride him a lot. The horse was all black. His main and tail appeared like they were made of smoke or actual thin shadows which they were. And his hooves and feet were just bone. No skin or fur.
Helen easily hopped the fence, to the other side with the pegasi. A few wandered closer, but Helen managed to get herself onto the mare's back, with a step up from the fence. The palomino had white wings to match her hair, and took a running leap to fly. Helen gripped her mane tightly, feeling the horses muscles work underneath her. "What's your name?" Helen questioned the pegasus. "Angel!" she replied.
Nix walked out with his Pegasus, smiling lightly. He hopped on its back and told him to follow the Pegasus that Helen was on. They quickly caught up so Phoenix was by Helen's side.
Angel flew over Camp, pointing out all of the important parts. She very carefully outlined the boundaries to Helen, stressing the dangers that lurked in them. She flew towards the Athena parthenos, and landed on Athena's soldier. "I can't believe someone actually found this!" Helen laughed, waving at Nix.
Phoenix explained some other stuff as they rode around camp, softly petting his Pegasus's neck slightly. Nix smiled at her, continuing to fly around the parthenos on his Pegasus. He rarely flew around during the day so it was odd. He preferred to fly st night when he could be alone.
[I am so sorry I totally thought that I replied tbh]
Helen gripped on to Angel tightly, and screamed loudly when she shot down in decent. The only metaphor Helen could attribute it to would be an eagle diving for it's prey. Angel's wings were tight against Helen's legs, bury when merely a few feet from the ground, spread out. Helen could feel the muscles and tendons in Angel's back working to stop them from crashing into the earth. Angel gently landed on her four hooves, and whined happily at her success.
(It's okay) Phoenix watched when angel dove with Helen, smiling lightly. He did stunts like that all the time since they never scared him. Nothing really did. He got his Pegasus to follow with a more steady descent. They landed beside Helen and angel, the pegasus' bat like Wings folding against nix's legs.
"I'm getting off before you make me hurl, Angel. Jeeze, warn a girl next time." Helen said, slipping off of the pegasus with grace. If Angel could have shrugged, she would have. "Your screaming was delightful though!" the pegasus informed her with a whiney. "Yeah, well, it was out of pure horror, so..." Helen replied, smiling slightly at Nix.
Phoenix smiled lightly. "I've done worse with this guy here so I don't recommend trying to ride him..." He said, petting the pegasus' neck. He hopped off his back, joining Helen back on solid ground. He kept petting the horse.
I'm really sorry but I can't answer rn I have orientation for the next few days which probably means no wifi :/
"I will definitely keep that in mind then." Helen told Nix, as his pegasus eyed her and said not very nice things. "He sure has a mouth on him though." Helen added, shaking her head at it's crude comments.
Nix sighed. He turned and glared at his Pegasus. "Does someone need to head back to the underworld?" He said coldly, watching the horse. After a moment, he glanced at Helen again. "Sorry for whatever he said.." Nix apologized.
"He surely isn't sorry, nor does he want to go to the Underworld." Helen translated, petting Angel softly. "I think it just might be a horse thing." she added, as some of the other horses began talking, and cursing like sailors. "Maybe we should leave before they all want hour long conversations?" Helen suggested.
"Probably." Nix nodded. He let his Pegasus head back into his stall, the horse cursing the whole way.. He ran a hand through his hair, biting his lip lightly.
"Where do you want to go now?" Helen asked, hoping the fence. "I kind of know my way around now..." she added with a shrug. "Is there something that I just must see from down here?"
"Ummm. I don't know what. Honestly, I've been here so long that everything's familiar to me so I don't know what you'd need to see.. You've talked to Chiron right?" He asked. Nix looks around them.
"I have. He seemed very interested in me." Helen said with a shrug. "And Dr. D is quite something." she added, knowing that she was treading on rough waters. He was, after all, a god.
"Well, we may need to tell him about the trident that showed up. He'll help move you to the right cabin." Nix commented. "You'll be in one of the big three cabins, so don't be surprised if you get more attention because of that.."
"Oh, okay. I really don't want any attention..." Helen admitted with a sigh. "He's this way, right?" she inquired, headed in the complete opposite direction.
"You're a daughter of one of the big three. You're usually more powerful and more endangered..." Nix mumbled softly. He shook his head, clearing away thoughts. "No Helen. That's the complete opposite direction. It's this was.." He pointed to the big house.
"I am an endangered species then." Helen stated, walking towards the Big House this time. She got lost in her mind as she took in the view from the ground, familarizing herself with what it looks like.
Nix walked beside her, biting his lip. Chiron was sitting playing cards with mr D on the porch of the big house. Nix immediately walked up to him. "Helen got claimed by Poseidon." He stated softly.
((I don't want to seem mean or rude or anything, but I am just not really feeling this rp. I think it just might be I don't really want to do a Percy Jackson one, but I know it isn't you...))
((Alright... Thanks for telling me and not just leaving... Is there some other ideas you'd like to try...?)
(Don't be sorry. I get it. Sometimes, roleplay ideas just don't work out..)
