Arrow did as Claire ordered. He forged on, and Claire followed at his side. She let go of his collar to grab her bow. She crept forward with the arrow nocked but not drawn. If something came out to attack her, she would be able to draw, aim and fire in a moment. She kept her breaths as steady, deep and quiet as she could, but she could hear her heart hammering in her ears. She followed Arrow until they almost bumped into Ben himself, walking back.
"Ben?" she asked, just to be sure it was him. "What the Hades are you doing in the labyrinth?" Noting something different about him, she took in a deep breath, then looked at him in horror.
He's mortal! Arrow exclaimed, confirming her thoughts. Claire aimed her bow straight at his chest.
"Why have you been stripped of your immortality? How has it been taken from you?" She didn't trust that it was him anymore. She didn't take her eyes off her prey, but she saw another boy standing behind Ben, who looked strange....
I found the source of our old people scent, Arrow muttered glumly.
((whoo im so glad to not be talking to myself anymore))

[fancypost bgcolor=whitesmoke; border:2px solid silver; border-top:none; width:280px; height:350px; overflow:hidden; padding:10px; margin:1px][fancypost bgcolor=; border:none; width:280px; height:350px; padding:0px; padding-right:27px; overflow:auto;][fancypost bgcolor=; border:none; width:280px; min-height:350px; line-height:12px; padding:0px; font-size:13px; color:darkslategray; font-family:century gothic; text-align:justify]
Thrum, thrum, thrum, thrum. It was a sound Claire Silverwood was well acquainted with. It was the sound of a powerful recurve bow, one in well-trained hands. It was almost always followed by the satisfying thunk of an arrow hitting its target, be it burying itself into the shoulder of a hellhound or simply plowing through a wooden target at Camp Half-Blood. The camp where Claire currently resided in, left to her own devices by the Hunters and, by extension, her mother, the goddess Artemis. Claire knew that Artemis was well aware of her dislike of camp. Being surrounded by boys all summer long, and girls who had long forgotten themselves, and not being allowed to simply slip away into the forest and play with the nymphs while the song of the wild played in her head; it went against Claire's very nature (no pun intended) to be trapped in society all summer. Of course, there were some nice things about camp: there was Chiron, her favorite teacher, and Capture The Flag. And she loved to study Ancient Greek and stargaze. Most importantly, at least to Artemis, was that at Camp Half-Blood, Claire could make friends. That is, friends outside the Hunters. Apparently, the goddess expected her daughter to have the proper social skills to befriend people.
Boy, was she wrong.
Claire had made entirely 3 friends since she'd arrived on the first of June. There was Spokely, a daughter of Athena with curly hair and freckles all over her face like Claire. However, Spokely, similar to Claire, was a bit too independent to make good friends, and as such, their relationship was more that of 2 close acquaintances than actual friends. Then there was Lucas, the son of Hypnos. He was nice, for a boy, but Claire had an ingrained distrust of the male sex and, as such, their relationship continued to be a little rocky. He had proved himself to be worthy of her friendship, indeed. But her Instinct, the ever-present, nit-picky voice in her head, simply could not stop telling her about all the awful things Lucas would do to her as soon as her guard was down. It was as if Instinct still lived in the 3rd century.
The sun was past it's high mark now, casting amber light over everything. Perhaps not the best light for shooting, at least for most, but Claire, child of the moon as she was, loved the dark and the night more than anything else. The warm yellow light seemed to make her bow grow an even brighter silver. It was a phenomenon she had observed before. As much as the two of them loathed to admit it, Artemis and Apollo were the most deeply interwined of all the gods. Not only did they share many realms, like sudden death, archery, and dance, but they were twins. Claire's father, Eder, often joked that the moon glowed brightest when the sun was beside her. Now that she had seen the two of them standing together, she knew he was right. Shaking her head slightly to clear it, she nocked another arrow and drew her bow.
Thunk. An arrow buried itself in her target. Unlike her's, which were silver and glowed faintly, this one was made of wood; however, the golden fletching was instantly recognizable. She lowered her bow, sighing impatiently.
"What do you want?" Claire snapped, looking over and glaring at the daughter of Apollo who now stood beside her, a golden bow in her hands. Her cousin just grinned. Ari was Claire's third and only genuine friend. When Claire had first come to Camp Half-Blood, Ari had been ordered by Apollo himself to make sure his only niece was comfortable. Their idea of a friendship consisted of friendly bickering. It was as if they were an old married couple.
"Are you ever going to get ready for Capture the Flag, or are you going to go in completely unarmed?" Ari asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Do I look unarmed to you?" Claire countered, motioning at her bow with her free hand. The daughter of Apollo rolled her eyes.
"You take things too literally, you know that?" Ari sighed. "What I meant by that is, "you've been here shooting arrows for 45 minutes, put that damn thing away and go do something else"."
"What if I don't want to do something else?" Claire glared, as she opened her hand and let her bow disappear.
"Then I'm going to force you. Come on, let's go gear up for the CTF." Ari grabbed her by the arm and dragged her off to Cabin 8. Claire noticed that Ari was already wearing a simply breastplate and her archer's gloves. How long had she been shooting?
Artemis' cabin, as always, was empty. After announcing that Ari was allowed to be inside the cabin, Claire got to work finding her gear for Capture the Flag. The entire cabin was, of course, immaculate; Claire had cleaned it just this morning. Her bed was in the far right corner, next to the bed the lieutenant used when the Hunters visited. The frame was made out of ash wood; ash was known as the "silver" wood, and it was also Artemis' sacred tree. Claire didn't bother to kick Ari out while she changed, and Ari didn't care; she entertained herself by pointing out all the constellations painted onto the roof of the cabin. It was only when Claire had finished lacing up her boots that she managed to get Ari's attention again.
"Your jacket is crooked," Ari murmured, reaching out and straightening out Claire's silver hunting jacket.
"So's your nose," Claire muttered back.

"Answer my question, boy!" Claire snapped. At her feet, Arrow raised his hackles and growled. It took all Claire had in her to not pin Ben to the wall with an arrow, or perhaps just drive one home through his back. She could tell Arrow was furious as well. Insulting a Hunter was not exactly acceptable in the great book of wolf etiquette, least of all when that Hunter was the champion of the great goddess Artemis. However, he too controlled himself, simply because he did not want to get Claire in trouble again.

Claire snarled, glaring at the strange boy for a few moments longer, before putting her bow away. "My goddess would turn you into a jackalope for using such a tone," she muttered. "Fortunately for you, Mr. 'I'll-turn-you-into-a-scarab', I can only turn you into a pincushion for my arrows." Scowling, she called her wolf with a wave of her hand and forged ahead of them. Arrow growled, still wanting to sink his teeth into the hazel-haired boy.
How dare he speak to you like that, Arrow muttered, fluffing up his fur. I should well tear him apart for less.
"It's fine, Arrow," Claire sighed. "He obviously has not been out and about for a while. He better stay away from my Hunters, though...."

Sighing, Claire shouldered her bow and left the cabin. Stepping back, she gazed at her cabin. It was gleaming silver, the same silver as the tents of the Hunters. However, unlike the tents, the cabin of Artemis pulsed with a soft silver light, almost invisible during the day, but vivid and obvious at night. According to the older campers, the cabin hadn't glowed until Claire had come here. Stepping forward until she was close to the wall, she heard the song of the wild, soft and soothing. In the forests and in the true wild, the song was an overpowering chant. Here, far from her mother as she was, Claire could only hear its murmurs without concentrating. Claire scowled. She hated this place, hated how much it seperated her from her parents and the wild. She felt empty here, surrounded by people and permanent housing and people that didn't know how to shoot.
Stepping back, she turned to Ari, who had been waiting for her at a respectful distance. "I'm starved," Claire said. "Let's go eat something."
"Eat what? I'm not eating a deer with you, Claire," Ari warned, grinning.
"Venison is infinitely more delicious than any other meat," Claire declared, miffed. "But I'm craving a steak." She was about to add something else, but ended up bumping into someone. She stumbled back, startled. It was Lucas Fairbanks, the son of Hypnos and one of 3 people she tolerated at Camp Half-Blood.
"Sorry, Lucas!" Claire gave a flustered grin, rubbing the back of her neck. Lucas was...nice. He wasn't annoying and stupid, like most of the other males at Camp, and she supposed he would be easy on the eyes for people that were of that persuasion, but Claire was...not. He was just a friend, and he was going to stay that way, whether he liked it or not.
((claire you goddamn klutz))

Claire had already pulled herself out of the tunnel and had climbed up one of the oak trees that ringed the weird pile of rocks. Sighing, she let her head rest against the tree and focused on calming down. That was one trip she was never going to make again. Arrow, who obviously could not climb, lay down at the foot of the tree.
They're going to be climbing out in a second, Arrow reported. The weird mummy guy insulted Artemis. Noting the sudden wave of fury that emanated from Claire, he fixed his statement. Well, technically, he said that if she was anything like you, that he wouldn't be worried about a fight.
"That insolent prick!" she hissed. A nymph poked her head out of the tree and gave her a hard look.
"Language," she warned. Claire hung her head.
"Sorry," Claire muttered.
"If you want, I can, well," The nymph grinned impishly. "I have a very large root system. I'm sure I could just...trap them in there...for a few hours. Or days. Whichever you prefer."
"As much as I would love that, I'm not sure my lady would be too happy with me," Claire sighed. "Thank you, though."
"Alright. You can stay here as long as you want, though!" With that, the nymph disappeared back into the tree. Claire gazed at the open tunnel for a moment longer, before nocking a fart arrow to her bow. She shot it into the tunnel, sat back, and gazed out into the forest.
Touché, Arrow muttered.

((ok ok hold on, pause. First of all, who the heck is this guy, what kind of plot point is he and why was he sprung on everybody w/ 0 warning whatsoever? Im not exactly planning on Claire becoming aware of who he is, but I, resident confused roleplayer, would like some information thank you very much. secondly, why are they calling claire stinky??? she shot a sulfur arrow into the tunnel. unless one of them picked it up and tossed it back (which still wouldn't work) she would just smell like. pine trees and bark. i hate to be so angry but im really really confused and i feel like everyone knows whats going on except me and i cant stand it.))

((Alright, thank you. My apologies, I just got very frustrated.))
"That was a sulphur arrow, you morons!" Claire shouted back. "It's you that's going to smell like sulphur for the rest of the evening if you don't try for a change of clothes!"
Sighing, she jumped 20 feet to the ground, said goodbye to the oak tree, and disappeared back into the underbrush. She went in the opposite direction of the 2 boys, who now likely were leaving a trail of sulphur-smell in their tracks, and buried deeper into the forest.
I'm getting tracks over here, and ones I don't recognize, Arrow reported, pointing with his nose at the tracks in question. Kneeling, Claire checked them over.
"No one I know," Claire stated. "Let's follow it."

What an awkward guy. No more awkward than her, though. "Nope! I mean, my arm is a little sore," she admitted, "But I always have energy to beat some boys into the ground!" She grinned impishly, before it faded off into a look of embarrassment. "Uh, not you, though," she added. "You're cool."
"Get a room," Ari scoffed jokingly. Claire turned to glare at her.
"You're so gross!" she hissed, shoving her cousin. Ari stumbled but didn't fall, smiling widely at her friend.
"It doesn't matter what I think of him anyway; he's on my team," Claire sniffed. Her hands came to rest on her hunting knives. She ran her fingers over the hilts, a simple habit, although she imagined it had originally come to be as a way of intimidating people. She turned back to Lucas, blinking. "I do think you're cool, though."
Lucas was certainly smart; she could tell from the way he talked, and the way he walked. Claire could read people very, very well. He often walked like he was distracted, staring straight forward or at some point at the ground. Claire would watch him occasionally. He wasn't that hard to miss, what with his accent. And the fact he was the only one that came out of the Hypnos Cabin at any time that wasn't mealtime. She'd only seen his half-sister once; she'd had his vivid blue eyes, obviously the defining trait of Hypnos' children. But she slept much more than he did. In fact, she was almost sure that he slept like normal people. Claire couldn't really tell. She only slept past midnight. After one too many days without Breakfast, when Claire suddenly collapsed, Artemis installed a mini fridge and a pantry with an infinite supply of bagels. Having a godly parent that actually cared about you really had it's perks. The bagel types were even varied, so Claire never got tired of bagels. Not that she ever would; she loved bagels.
((Sorry that this is kinda short; my arms hurt so much from my fencing tournament combined with color guard. Note to self: never let anyone poke you under the chest protector ever again))

They'd barely gone 2 steps forward when the smell of burning wafted over their senses. Claire sputtered, coughing at the smoke, and turned her head towards the source. Arrow growled.
"What-ack- do we do?" she coughed, stepping back. She sucked in a deep breath of fresh air, then turned back at the fire, her face set in a mask of determination. She rolled up her sleeves and started forward.
Claire, what are you doing? Last time I checked, you weren't a child of Hephaestus that somehow inherited pyrokinesis, Arrow barked, although he did follow his mistress.
"I mean, I know some children of Apollo have photokinesis, which I imagine can cause a fire," she replied. "Perhaps my unconditional immortality amplified my powers." As if on cue, her hands glowed bright white, and quickly heated up. She gave a squeak of alarm and, just as fast as they'd gone alight, they stopped glowing themselves. "...Did I imagine that?" she asked Arrow, who was staring at her.
No, Arrow replied meekly. Can you, um, never do that again, please? You're a good enough lamp as it is
"Let's see if I can light a fire," Claire said to herself with a grin. Arrow whimpered.
Claire, Artemis' orders were very clear: I am not allowed to let you get yourself into troub- LOOK OUT! He lunged and grabbed her hood, dragging her into the underbrush as a giant branch, still aflame, fell and landed where she'd been standing a moment earlier. Claire gasped. "Th-th-that fire is not normal." Indeed, the fire looked terrifying and strange, daughter of Apollo as she was.
C-can you do something about it? Arrow asked, crawling into her lap. Claire wrapped her arms around her wolf.
"Um, I don't know, wh- ARROW YOU CORNERED US?!" She looked around, panicked. She was surrounded on all sides by burning trees. "How did I not notice this?! Idiot, idiot!" She whispered to herself.
Can't you sing something to make it go away?
"Arrow, I'm about to get to the level of "serious smoke inhalation", I couldn't sing if I tried!" she snarled, before dissolving into a fit of coughing. She wheezed, falling onto her back. Evidently, her Hunter's Blessing only took her so far. Arrow whimpered and licked at her face, but Claire just coughed again and groaned, rolling over. Arrow stared at her in horror for a moment longer, before glancing back. Yes, there was a space open between the flames. He could make it if he moved fast.
I'll go get help, he promised, nuzzling her. Claire merely wheezed again. Turning, Arrow crouched, took a running start and leaped clear over the flames. Glancing back for a moment more, he tasted the air, locating the distinctive smell of wine, and sprinted away.
((just to be clear he's going to jenny bc claire accidentally ended up in the middle of a fire like a goddamn moron))

Arrow forced his legs to move faster. Now he picked up the smell of another dog. Zerian, by the smell of it. Taking a breath, he gave a howl. Stop! I need your help! He ran past them, turned, and skidded to a stop in their path, barking frantically. Hopefully, his glowing silver fur would be the only indication needed to show who was in trouble.[hr]
Claire still lay on the ground. Her lungs burned like Tartarus, as did her throat, and every time she tried to breathe in, the only thing that got in was burning hot ash. She didn't have enough strength to even cough, and she didn't dare stop breathing. Her instinct had not yet gotten used to the idea that she could simply...not breathe. On top of that, this form was still expendable. If it was too weakened or injured, she would have to reform. And Claire did not want to spend a couple decades rebuilding the form she'd somehow maintained for the last 48 years, damnit.
She would've given anything for Artemis to be there.

Actually, I think Hugo would make more sense, since he's a child of Hermes and it's his father that has gone missing (similarly how the Titan's Curse prophecy is given to Zoë Nightshade because she's the lieutenant of Artemisand the closest thing to a girlfriend she has lmao).
