Isle of Heroes

" You're acting like it's going to ruin your night, I saw Callum heal a wound in ten seconds flat once, plus your head is like mostly water right, your brain floating in all that liquid, Callum could surely fix you right up." Dante looked around the party for Callum, even though a demigod like Callum would have had to be dragged out to a party like this. He did scoff anyway at Reid saying he had a big head, " Name calling and you expect me to monitor, do you think I know how to monitor someone's health?" Or that he was sober enough to actually do it. Having Reid join his howl, he could feel their tones intertwining in harmony, making Dante wonder what beautiful chorus could the Artemis brothers make if they were all together, and if something like that had any powers. Grabbing their next drinks, going for the fancy pure ambrosia flavor this time, he handed it back to Reid, " You rarely have to drag me out anymore, I come willingly, most times."Dante moved pass the table of drinks once they were all set, making his away from the party a bit to sit on the beach, " You having a good time pup?" He teased, bumping shoulders, " See any demigod you want to sink your teeth into?" He looked back at the party once more.

" I mean apparently there were people hunting us, so it would be that out of the realm of possibly to sexually lure us off the cliffs, the sexually luring would work great on some of you," He knew it was their demigod divinity that heightened everything from how they perceived the world around them to their libido, Evander was painfully away that it had been months since he gotten laid, not once since he accepted his divinity, it was mostly why he was so blind to the nymph's trap. With Ciro being so forward as to saying that he had his eye on Evan, a blush did move back over his cheeks and chest, an easy thing to do in itself, but Evan didn't get flustered that often, usually the one to make the women blush. He was also over his arousal, but the attention to him, the admiration of his bulge and it's size, it wasn't helping. " I mean," He had to think back, " I had this friend once that came out as bi, but before that him and I were hanging out with his girlfriend and things quickly fell into place for a threesome, but nothing really happened between us...beyond that and like...watching porn with your friends, I haven't really done stuff like to a guy, or had someone do something to me."

The sound of howls filled the air as Wyatt began to make his way towards one of the newer brothers of his cabin, a smile upon his lips as he reached Dante. "The howls making you itch for a run as much as I?" he questioned, playful smile pulling at his lips as he moved to wrap an arm around the younger male's frame. "Do not fret... It's common for the sounds to make us want to get in to nature."

Dante had never experienced something like this before, competition and games, he was, thankfully, in good enough shape to keep up and where he lacked men like Wyatt made up for it. During the games, and working with his pack, he could very much feel the animals poking through, fueling them and making them more harmonious. Over the past two years, Dante was finally starting to settle into his new life, free from his fears and worries. But tonight, after the games, winning and some celebratory weed, Dante was at the edge of the party, finishing off a blunt as he listened to the howls, they really were calling to him. He felt the other's large arm around his waist before he realized that Wyatt was here and looking up to the other, Dante gave a goofy grin, leaning into the Alpha, " I know Wyatt, you know I'm not the pup I was two years ago, there are younger wolves out there that need Papa Wyatt's guidance," Among other things, " though tonight you should just have fun, you don't have to check in with us."

Callum had been avoiding The Thalassa Games, Napoleon wasn't that keen on playing them and if his older brother wasn't going to drag him out to play, Callum wasn't going to play, especially on his own against some cabins that have over ten demigods in them. He knew he was weak, that he spent a lot of the time that he should be training his demigod powers, distracted by the side project of his medical research, so after a pep talk that he could indeed get through a training session, Callum went down to the training grounds to see if someone could help him out. The field was mostly empty, a lot of the demigods still preforming in the games or heading off to the many parties across the island. There was only one sole demigod training and while Callum wasn't the greatest with names, he knew that the other was a son of Athena, admiring their brains, Callum was that out of all the gods it wasn't Athena that was his mother. Being called out pulled Callum out of his mind, noticing now that the nameless demigod lost his shirt, Callum's eyes glancing over the body, just for a second, before moving back, " Sorry, I was just..." He made his way onto the grounds, towards the other, " I'm Callum...Blue, I am a son of Poseidon," He wasn't sure who knew of him, a lot of the demigods knew the six elite demigods mostly because there were only six of them, " I was coming down to train, not to ogle, promise."

" Cruising..." Along with being oblivious to the advances of men, Evan wasn't all that well versed in the terminology of gay hook up culture, Ciro saying he could throw a stick and hit a guy that wants to blow you, the piece did finally click and you could almost see the spark in his eyes as the pieced connected. " OH!" He couldn't help but laugh, plopping down next to Ciro, facing the bonfire, " I mean...yeah, I mean, I haven't really hooked up with any of the women here on the island, but before at Uni, there really wasn't a problem of women luring me off cliffs." Evan had size on them, a man of six foot three with muscle mass to match, Evan was a wall of a man, but that didn't speak to his defenses. He wouldn't bring himself to even think about hurting a woman, or anyone for that matter. " But are you really one to judge me if you're going on with strange men into the woods late at night." He teased. He had no problem with gay men, there were plenty in uni and the handful that showed interest in Evan, but he never caught on or at least gave them a glimpse, but that was another story for another day. Still even with Ciro admitting he had dudes blow him, Evan didn't put together the previous offer of their own privacy, " Is there anyone catching your eye tonight? If I can't get laid without attempted murder, might as well wingman you."

Dante didn't catch that lean into his touch or he would have certainly called it out, and possibly have given him that scratch behind the ear he so desperately wanted. " We can get you over to Callum if you wanted a check over, not sure how much help his magic water could do...maybe a Dionysus pup could do some brain magic on you." Eyes off on the distance, looking for any of the children of Artemis, even if they weren't the only demigods that could shapeshift into animals, they did have the best control over it. Each howl felt amazing, the tones vibrating into him, churring something inside him to respond. It didn't even take the coxing from Reid to pull a howl out of Dante, his hand finding the other's shoulder as he leaned into the howl, on his tip toes and echoing through the clearing into the woods. He pulled back, plopping on his feet, a happy grin on his lips. His hand found Reid's jawline, thumb pressing against his chin with a smirk, before nodding for Reid to follow him towards their next drinks. " Do you recognize the howl? Still putting tones to names."

Oblivious, it was a standard for Evan. The same oblivion that had him thinking he could just party and play sports non-stop and never actually study, but that caught up with him fast and rightfully kicked his ass. It was worse with flirting, while he was usually pretty certain when it came to women, Evan was blind to the advancements of men, or even Ciro's eyes as he took Evander in. But it was clear that Ciro was looking when he pointed out Evan's lifting toga, a blush quickly moving over his cheeks and chest, " Well...I mean...yeah, she was really fucking beautiful," He did look back into the woods once more just to see if she would make a return. Evan let the other lead the way, one to take charge when needed but quick to give that power away when he trusted someone, and his new found family he trusted, even those he hadn't gotten to know all that well yet, like Ciro. The Gods chose them, they wouldn't pick someone they thought would betray the island, right? At the mention of the cliff, he did put two and two together, just not what Ciro wanted, " Wait, do you think she would have pushed me off the cliff?" He didn't even know where a cliff was on this island, clearly through the woods if Ciro thought so. His eyes did follow to where he was pointing, " Oh! I was looking forward to the break from the crowd, so we can stand by the waysides if you want bro," He agreed, not really know what he was agreeing to.

Dante felt a rush when he lifted himself off Reid, a dizzying and sick feeling washing over him if only for a second as he moved to sit back on his legs, only stopped by the moving hand from his lips to his ass. He looked down at Reid, the underglow of orange light from the bonfire, the filling moon shining down on them, it's rays tingling off Dante's exposed skin, full moons felt better here on the Island, away from light pollution and skyscrapers. He couldn't help but smile softly at the other, " You okay dude?" He asked, a hand coming up to rest against Reid's head, just above his ear, as his thumb brushed over the other's forehead. Leaning down, he did place a kiss against Reid's forehead, knowing good and well by now that Reid would want more, but it was fun to teased. He finally pulled himself off, his weight pressing delibrately against the other's crotch as he slid off and stood up, a hand expressed to the other to help up, " Who do you think that was?" He asked, looking towards the direction of the howl, what clearly distracted him from his landing and nothing else, " You think one of the new pups got lucky?" Dante was still working on what howls meant what.

As soon as it dawned on Evan that he had been lured out to the woods instead of lead, he groaned, looking back into the emptiness of the woods before his eyes returned to his savior, " Well it's a good thing you came by when you did then, isn't it?" Evan replied, voice obviously down trotted for getting all riled up with no reward. Ciro's grabbing his face lightly, turning his eyes to the other's it was unexpected but Evan followed his demands, eyes on him until he let go. He didn't feel charmed, aroused, surely, hopefully not too obvious with wearing nothing underneath his own toga. " Well I didn't think there would be things on this island that would want to kill us, you would think the nymphs would want to fuck a demigod and not kill one and have the gods pissed off at him." Has Evan been lucky enough to sleep with a nymph yet? No. He honestly hadn't slept with anyone since he left London, a beautiful woman named Ashley, but she was far out of the picture. " Thanks for saving me...Ciro right?" He asked, looking back to the other, " I can trust you to follow in the woods, right?"

Evander was, of course, a bit bummed that the Blue Team didn't win, he figured with having both Poseidon and Zeus' children along with the cast of strong men that were the Apollo brothers, they would be a shoe in, but they were no match against the others, especially with Nike's children on their team. Still, Evander had an amazing time competing and now it was time to celebrate! The island was always brimming with parties, at least in the past month that Evander has been here, but it was clear there were was a certain ump that was applied during events such as The Thalassa Games. Maybe there was a part of Evander that wasn't focusing too much on his hard work, possibly the same part that got Evan to flunk out of university, but many a libation in him and Evander carted off to the woods by some nymph, his priorities were elsewhere tonight. She was leading him deeper into the forest away from the fire and prying eyes and it wasn't until he heard his name that his attention was pulled away. Standing just at the end of the path towards the bonfire was Ciro, an easy name to remember with it being so uncommon, " I'm not alone," He retorted, turning back to show off the beautiful nymph that was....gone. " Uh," He took a step back, thoroughly confused, " Shit, did you not see me walking off with a nymph?" He asked, looking back into the woods as he moved slowly back to Ciro and the party.

Maybe it was that restless energy that lead the Artemis team with their half of the gods towards their win, something that Dante hadn't expected given the horsepower of The Blue Team. Even after the competitions and games, it was clear that some of the wolves had more energy than the others. Dante had barely gotten his eyes off the fine Aphrodite demigoddess when Reid tapped his shoulder, running ahead of him to jump over a fucking bonfire. Taking a step back and surveying what just happened and that it wasn't a weed-induced hallucination, he couldn't help but laugh," You can't seriously have the energy still man, they fucking wore us out," Him at least. Still, with a roll of his eyes and a polishing off his beer, tossing it to the side to be cleaned up in the morning, Dante moved back, more distance than what Reid started with, before running. He could feel it, the moon and his wolf pushing him forward as he gained speed and with a push, Dante had leap easily off the sand and into the air. Sticking the landing....that had to be worked on, as Dante came down, he connected right with Reid, the pair falling towards the sand with Dante on top, " Fuck, shit, sorry dude, you okay?" He asked, pulling himself onto his arms, looking down at the other.

" You're a mean mean man Reid," Dante teased, feeling Reid's knee brush against his ass as he felt out for the pebbles. It was clear that Reid had some experience with his powers than Dante did, the latter was mostly nervous to actually use his powers, feeling like he was going against whatever divine force kept him from the woods, even so, he can tell that Reid was feeling out the night, peering into the woods with some sixth sense that Dante needed to work on. The plop did spook Dante, only because he was intently focused on Reid's focus. He looked down at the other, smoke pooling out of his lips, looking up at Dante with those beautiful eyes that brought him comfort, the same eyes that kept him in the woods. " Well I am glad I'm cushion enough for you," Dante took the blunt back, another long puff, but he kept it in as he leaned down. A hand snaking under Dante's head, he pulled him up into a kiss, releasing the smoke between them with a few long kisses, Dante taking in the feeling of Dante's lips against his own. He pulled away, looking back out into the night, " Hopefully it's not any of the new demigods lost in the woods again," moving on like he didn't just make out with Reid as he got one more puff in and passed it back.

"I mean- yeah. Some of the Ares girls are twice as likely to stab you as fuck you. So, you know. Maybe stick to the Nympths for a good time." Cassidy drawled as he filled up his own cup and took a long swing of it. He'd been here three or so ish years and had more than enough experience with all sorts on the island that he wasn't a terrible guide. he lowered his drink as he danced his eyes over at the other. 'Though the Aphrodite cabin is a great and wild place to get your dick sucked. So hey, there's that," he pointed out as he moved away from the drinks table to move closer to Evander. "So, you settling in Little Sun? Got your head around this place yet?"

" and being the tallest doesn't?" Evan teased, puffing his chest out with the pats and letting a laugh himself. He was surprised that he was finding himself already at such ease with his brother, much closer than he was with his friends in college, as much as he loved and missed his time there. Evan's firm hand found it's way to Cassidy's shoulder, holding it as the older demigod led them through the party. " I don't know if their dad, or our dad, would be all that happy if they stabbed one of their demigods," But then again, it wasn't like they were one of the big twelve, the two men and women chosen to represent Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, he was sure they had greater protections than the others. Taking the goblet, he clunk it against Cassidy's, spilling some in the process, before taking another long sip of the fresh and cold beer, a happy hum coming out. He did very much note the Aphrodite women, they were beautiful, beyond so, and he was surprised that they showed anyone the light of day, " Yeah? You hooked up with one?" He asked, getting away from the keg and the center of the party to talk. " Oh! I mean...yeah, I have been training, camping out of the beach, making some friends here and there...I never did ask if there was anyone on the island that you're close with...wasn't really sure if you wanted to share seconds, if you know what I mean."

"Rumor has it you're an animal guy yeah? I mean you are a son of Artemis. So, if I needed like a bunch of poisonous animals you'd be able to help me you think? I could make it worth your while. Probably."

" Isn't this me sharing?" Dante pointed out, not that he had to share his cigarette with the younger guy. He certainly wanted to get to know the other demigods, but that really didn't mean he had to like all of them, so as long as he was treated nicely, he would oblige. At the mention of him being an 'animal guy', he decided to play dumb, " I mean, I never had a pet before, I was always too busy working to keep up with them....oh! you mean I'm the animal!" He rolled his eyes, looking around like he was dealing drugs before turning to Peter, " I don't know how to talk to animals," He admitted, " I am still learning my powers, Reid and Wyatt have stronger holds on their powers, so if you need a poisonous animals for whatever not sketchy thing you're doing, it would be best to talk to them...but what would you even offer to trade?"

Evander, clearly, worked out himself, and it was entirely possible that a workout was in his future if he sun pushed enough energy into him, he was already feeling better as the sun started to rise. Looking up at the other, it was clear he had just finished a run by the state of him and Evan was pulling himself up from the sand, looking down at his makeshift camp, " Trying, it wasn't the greatest, haven't been camping all that much, but it will get better." Call it training, what if The Gods had a mission for them and before long Evan was camping out in The Amazon, he needed to build up those skills. " Uh..." Evan was back down and bent into his tent, coming back with a bag of beef jerky, some chips, " I ate the real food," Evander admitted, hands out for Hank, not sure if he was observing or he wanted a snack, " I also have some water if you need a break, I'm just about to wrap up here soon and head back to the cabin for a shower, love the view, hate the sand."

Dante sat in the corner of the tent next to the open entrance, mostly to have a good look at Reid as he sat across from the other. Just outside the tent was nice and warm fire, casting a nice glow on Reid. Dante's own legs were pulled up, arms resting on them as he finished rolling his blunt. " Well we at least need to do a better job at cleaning off the ground when we set up, I've been sitting on a rock for the past hour, " He said, shifting his weight. At the mention of an axe-murdered, Dante looked back from the opening wide-eyed, that was until he put two and two together, " Wait, not it's not, I could very much see the Gods putting monsters to test us, but them allowing some random axe murderer on their island....or...is it one of us?" Was it possible with all of the chosen demigods that some of them were a little crazy, or murdery? " I still pick the psycho, I feel like we can take on a mortal while there's a ton of monsters that I would very much not want to meet." Reid moved closer, leaning almost out of the tent but much closer to Dante, sitting beside him, he looked back out, " I'll go back to the cabin, don't test me," Dante teased, pushing Reid playfully before the new blunt hung between his lips with a light and puff, Dante holding out the lit blunt to Reid, " Did you want a hit...or were you wanting to go see what's out there?" Dante did feel a little curious.
