Shhhh the god side doesnt count just ask Percy and Annabeth

...they're basically grand-cousins))

Temperance raised her eyebrows at him in a way that screamed 'checkmate' as he answered. Her eyebrows tugged faintly together at his answer, mainly at the fact that he was being completely serious. She bit lightly at her lip as he continued speaking, jamming her free hand in her pocket. "Sounds... fun." She said sarcastically.

She looked him over quietly following his offer before bringing her blue eyes back up to his black ones. "That was basically where I wanted to go. I kind of figured that was it." She said flatly, gesturing to the house partially behind him.

Zephyr was the TINIEST bit irritated that she was STILL being SNOTTY AND RUDE after his VERY CLEAR show of friendliness. His jaw tensed slightly and the slighest bit of a scowl returned, but mostly because that was his normal face. Of course, waht did he expect. A daughter of Zeus to be all rainbows and airplanes? Nooo, she was more like storm clouds and hurricanes. At heer sarcastic words he executed a perfectly sarcastic eyeroll of his own. "Basically. You have absolutely failed at accepting an offer to help, but I guess a child of Zeus can't possibly accept help. That's what you are, right?" he paused as his scowl deepened slightly. "That's not it. They tucked it away farther to the back." Zephyr let out a small snort, gesturing to a log house farther back, nearer to the lake.

Ah yes, VERY CLEAR xD))

Tempe simply looked up at him, one hip popped out as she watched his facial expression. She was utterly unimpressed. "I didn't realize my first test would be accepting an offer of help made by someone who already had a bad attitude when they first spoke to me." She said, deadpan. She stood up straight getting angry as her father got brought into the conversation. "You think that's a bad thing, shadow-creep? That's what you are, right?" She sniped, rolling her eyes at him and pushing past him on her way down. The faintest spark curled from the tip of her finger as she moved, but she made her way straight toward the house, trying to calm herself down. One bad interaction wasn't how she wanted to start off, but she still had plenty of people to make a good impression on.

(Extremely! Couldn't you see it? LOL)

Zephyr's eyes narrowed slightly. And THIS is why he stuck to the shadows. People like conceited children of Zeus were not fit to be near him, and he was not fit to be near them. He was loyal to Hades, and he did not UNDERSTAND why his father let these demigods torture him. HE was supposed to be the one doing the torturing. "Bad attitude for a good reason." He answered with an unamused snort. He good tell by saying the name of her father, and because of the rumble in the sky, that he had just made this girl quite upset. Well good, in a way. She was being as much of a jerk as he was. "Shadow-creep? And you get mad at ME?" He hissed, anger coursing through his veins. The earth trembled with his anger, and Zephyr had to remember he wasn't allowed to make the stone swallow other demigods. Not that he cared. His two best abilities were controlling the earth and conjuring skeletons... and he could see dirt poking up in spots where hands were trying to pokr out. "Crap." he muttered, calming himself. The directors would KILL him if he accidentally released 20 or so angry skeletons onto camp half-blood. Zephyr glared after the girl before striding off to his own cabin. he entered the obsidian structure, breathing in the cool scent of stone and darkness. It didn't smell like rotting CORPSES, of course, because even he wouldn't want to sleep in that smell, but the slight smell of death also hung in the air. A skull hung in the middle of the cabin, and a tall three headed dog snarled at the end. Zepyr couldn't wait to say hi to Cerberus again. He missed the dog. He sat down in his bunk with a heavy huff, gritting his teeth. That had... really hit a nerve. Yes, he had been being rude. He never even verbally looked down on Zeus... he had just said a daughter of Zeus couldn't accept help! yes he was insinuating she was proud, but hey, he was too. It hadn't been meant as a full blown insult. Shadow-creeper however? Zephyr already didn't like being looked down on for being a child of Hades, but this was going to be tough.

"I don't see the good reason anywhere near here." Tempe scoffed, scowling up at him. "I can be mean too, death-boy. I don't take insults without throwing them back. Don't talk about my father, I won't talk about yours." She said simply, before stalking off. She could tell her blows struck a nerve in him just as his had in her. She blew out a small breath and reached up to massage the back of her shoulder as she made her way into the main lodge. A man in a wheelchair greeted her- Charon- despite the fact that he was in the middle of a card game with a god named Dionysus. Withing moments, he had begun educating her, telling her about how things worked, the basis of the gods- all that lovely initiation stuff.

Zephyr sat, smoldering in his cabin. He stared at a real human skull in his hands, just one of the ornamental things around the cabin. He really was just a creepy skull loving son of death. yay. He grit his teeth befoe putting it carefully back on the shelf near his bed, flopping back with a sigh to stare at the ceiling. There was a knock on the door and Luke, a camp conselor entered. "Chiron has summoned you. And Dionysus has no want to ever see you again, but he grudgingly said come as well." Luke said with a wry smile before disappearing. Zephyr grimaced and stood, striding quickly to the building. When he saw the girl was still there his eyes smoldered even more, but he said nothing, directing his gaze at Chiron.

"You've been at the camp longer than anyone else, Dune. I want you to show this lady to her cabin, then you both report back to me." Chiron said in his usual, slow, logical, simple way.

Zephyr's eyes widened just slightly. Why did Chiron want both of them back there? He knew he couldn't argue, however. Without a word he nodded curtly, glancing at the girl as a gesture to come before heading out. "Cabin 1. You can probably tell by the royal gold and white everything." Zephyr said in a level, yet low tone, gesturing sharply towards the closest cabin. He didn't feel the need to stay, so he went back to Chiron to wait for the girl, biting back a sarcastic remark about helping her carry her bags.

Tempe waited patiently for her 'guide' to come along, expecting someone pleasant, at least. Of course, he happened to be the opposite.

She glanced up to find her guide, the rude demigod from before, standing in the doorway. She took in a slight breath, her eyes widening in faint anger. "Sir-" She let her plea die on her tongue, slinging her singular, small satchel over her should as he lead her to her cabin. She didn't say a word and she didn't ask for anything as they walked. She glanced around as they moved, a certain blond-haired demigod catching her attention. He shot her a smile, which she returned easily, the charm turning on as easily as the anger.

"Right. Thanks." She said flatly, walking toward her somewhat extravagant cabin and letting herself in. It was, for lack of a better word, gorgeous. Simple, yet elegant. It was white, Greek style architecture accented in gold with large sky lights in the roof. There were a few beds, all of which were empty, obviously, and a few portraits on the ceiling and walls. There were a lot of things She wanted to explore but she wasn't eager to keep the director waiting. She made her way out of her cabin to find the same blonde boy from not long ago hovering outside her cabin. He walked with her lightly and they engaged in light, somewhat flirtatious conversation. His name was Luke- he was a counselor and son of the god Hermes. With one name officially on her list, she waved him a goodbye and made her way back up to the main house.

She was eager to get settled in her new home- practice, make friends, learn the ways of her culture.

Chiron waited till the girl came back. "Temperence Wright, this is Zephyr Lucious. Zephyr, Temperence. Now that we are aquainted, although I have the feeling you've met before, I want to say something. You are both prideful, and strong, and perserverant. You are both extremely strong power wise as being children of Zeus and Hades. There is quite a possibility you have already met and now hate each other, but you will have to put your personal feelings aside. I have an important quest, and although you are new temperance, I fear you two are the only ones strong enough to get past it. Zephyr, your expertise with the underworld will help you greatly on your jounrey. You will both trvael up to the Oracle, get your quest, then I will explain in further detail what you will be doing. Temperance, your skill with the sky will also be quite useful." He said, looking between both of them and noticing their unhappy stances.

Zephyr's eyes widened slightly. He couldn't help it... what? No WAY was he going on a quest with HER. And her name was Temperance? Wow. "Chiron, if I may object," he started with slight sarcastic irritation. "I have the strong feeling this quest will fail miraculously if you pair us up." He said with a steely tone, setting his jaw.

"Well then the quest will fail miraculously. Zephyr, I don't want to here you especially, complaining. You are the strongest demigod at the camp. You have trained harder than all the others, fought the strongest beasts, traveled to the underworld and back, and waded the deepest trenches. If you are going to break having to work as a team with Temperance, then I severely misjudged your character." Chiron almost sounded threatening.

Zephyr's face twitched slightly, but he did not move until Chiron had finished. "As you wish, I will fall to my own demise, even though that's what I am supposed to cause." He walked past, heading up the steep steps towards the attic.

Temperance crossed her arms as she waited for the introduction to be over, not glancing at Zephyr once. Zephyr? Really? A sky name? She scoffed softly, waiting for Chiron to be done so she could go be a teenager when he dropped his little bomb on her. Her mouth genuinely fell open in shock. She shook her head vehemently as he continued, glaring at Zephyr and his objection, then Chiron and his stupid-smart-person-ness. She started her long winded objection once Zephyr started up the stairs, shaking her head. "No. No, I just got here. I barely know what a quest is. I KNOW I don't want to go talk to some dumb, dead corpse ten minutes after getting here. I know I don't wanna go on some stupid, menial task for you with him, of all people. I don't know what I'm doing. Get someone else, or something- some other demigods. I'm not doing this." She said stubbornly, crossing her arms roughly and trying to calm her rapidly rising and falling chest. She was somewhere between panic and anger, and she felt like live-wires were running beneath her skin.
