Brighter Days Ahead

Despite the emotional turmoil she’s been experiencing lately, Bambi refuses to let it ruin her Valentine’s Day. It’s literally one of her favorite holidays and she wants to celebrate it thoroughly. Mostly by spreading the love of the holiday by passing out flowers from her basket. She approaches a camper with a smile on her face and offers a brightly colored flower. “Happy Valentine’s Day! Please accept this flower?”

She’s at a loss for words. She feels like a monster; but that’s her birth right, Guinevere muses bitterly, her thoughts ambling towards her father. She quickly dismissed it, trying her hardest to hide the anger and pain. She couldn’t believe that she’d been so easy to take over, and had been unable to fight it. She’d destroyed so much, torn down the cabins of smaller gods, taunted demigods with migraines that prevented them from fighting back. So much for lawfulness. Guin feels empty on the inside, almost as though that… thing had carved a hole inside of her, which now remained empty, desperate for something to fill it. She looks up as she hears someone come closer. She looks broken. She feels it too.

The golden glimmer in his eyes makes him look happier than normal. Phoenix half wishes that he could be as driven as this Eidolon was, which he knows is bad to think. The more he thinks, the more he finds to beat himself up for. The Eidolon has been quite clear that it really doesn’t like the internal conflict, but he can’t help himself. You’re an easy target, you’re no use to anyone here or at home, which makes you dispensable, especially to the enemy. He thinks bitterly. The Eidolon stops walking and hisses verbally. The momentary lapse in patience is over as quickly as it came on, and it returns to invading his thoughts. You will stop, or I will hurt who you care for. You can’t hide anything from me. 

Cara did as she was told, shutting her eyes and then adding her hands as extra cover once she realized how bright it was that her eyelids weren’t enough. She tried to catch her breathe as well, stumbling away and thanking her lucky stars for the girl.

Ἡμέρα (Hemera) was the personification of day and one of the Greek primordial deities

“I just can’t do it. You don’t know what it’s like.” The tears are falling hard and fast, and he can feel himself becoming inconsolable. “I’m no good here, I mean look at you all, here because I can’t do anything.”

He shakes his head, tears streaming down his face. “I can’t do it, I don’t want to do it.” Phoenix is physically shaking, his eyes glued to the wall next to him.

It had been a battle today for him to be roused from his bed. Phoenix’s pseudo siblings in the Hermes cabin had to spend more time trying to get him to move than they should have; he was inconsolable. “I wouldn’t bother trying if I were you.” He’d sensed someone approaching behind him. His phone had been switched off for days, as he couldn’t bear to look at the comments. 

Ciera stares at her piles of organized outfits with a look of horror and despair. Most of them were from before pregnancy and before she really started to show. “I just realized that all my nice clothes probably won’t fit after Kiana is born. I don’t want to convert to ‘mom’ clothes. I know I would look terrible in mom jeans of all things. I’m having a mid-fashion crisis.”

“Hello? Anyone in here? I-I’m really sick right now and could use some help?”
