Summer. After winter passes and spring comes, bringing those blasted strawberries back. The smell was nauseating to Ezekiel. Three years he had been here and the smell never got better. It only seemed to get worse and there was always a fresh batch. Didn’t they ever go out of season? Although the summer heat brought on the stronger scent of strawberries, it also brought out the sun more often. At least every day it shone at some point and Ezekiel made sure he was under its rays, taking the most of it in. He woke early this morning in order to get those early rays. Of course, it was still a bit cold so he dressed warmly in a pair of long, dark green pants and his long-sleeved black shirt with beanie on top to keep his ears warm and headphones in. After taking several minutes to stretch, Zeke was off running. He took to the well familiar trails and like clockwork, ran into Kiera. They fell into pace beside each other, a simple greeting of nodding and smiling as both had their headphones in with music blaring. Ezekiel’s running music, usually consisted of heavy guitar riffs and a steady base to keep his rhythm while running. Of course, Kiera usually picked up the pace whenever her music switched, causing Zeke to push to keep up or switch his song. 
They rounded a corner, giving a final push since their run was almost over. Zeke now had his sleeves pushed up past his elbow and his beanie secured in the pocket of his pants. The heat from running and the sun had now worked its way into his skin to warm him completely. Zoned in to the pace of running and beat of the music, Ezekiel didn’t notice Ryland, son of Zeus land suddenly in front of them. He skidded to a stop, nearly taking the demi-god out. 
[color=#EEE8AA]”Warning next time Ryland, Zeus above,”[/color] he cursed. He took his headphones out along with Kiera and listened to Ryland’s request. He looked at Kiera as Ryland merely ignored Zeke’s presence. That was nothing new. The two constantly ignored each other until it was necessary to communicate and that usually consisted of snide remarks until someone attempted to make the first punch. Usually that was Ezekiel. 
He watched Ryland’s face change from calm and confidence to unease and uncertainty. The son of Apollo smirked and put his hands into his pants pockets. 
[color=#EEE8AA]”Awe, are you worried about the prophecy Ry? The whole weight of the camp solely on your shoulders again?”[/color] Two days ago the Oracle spoke a new prophecy and the camp had been abuzz about it ever since. A woman clad in green? [i]Obvious was it not?[/i] Bring the gods to their knees? [i]Why should we care, we are only half.[/i] As for the rest of it? Well, don’t worry. The big three will figure out what it is and stop it. Then the whole camp will be grateful to them and build another statue in their honor where the sun will shine everyday! Ezekiel looked up at the sky, seeing the sun high above everything and glared at it, like it was offending him suddenly. 
He looked back at the couple, closer to each other more than just by their parents than Ezekiel would ever be to either of them or even his other Apollo siblings. 
[color=#EEE8AA]”Have fun, say hi to the witch for me would ya?”[/color] He slipped the headphones back into his ears before he shoved past Ryland, giving him a hard hit with his shoulder before he continued on the path back to camp.
