Only once they were clear of the other campers by a decent margin did he even dare to speak. Looking back towards Kiera after they had been walking in silence for a bit, that tortured look still in his eye. [color=#0072bc]"I-I'll explain more once we see Rosie. But I had a dream. I think... I think those strange giants that killed Sasha are somehow related to the prophecy."[/color] Was all the Son of Zeus explained to the girl. Soon enough they arrived at the cave, Ryland leading the way in and immediately grabbing a chair to sit near Rosie. The look on his face alone being one she was already quite familiar with. Afterall, he saw her every morning and he was haunted quite often by that dream. Although he barely ever brought anybody else with him to see her. [color=#0072bc]"Rosie. We need to talk, the three of us. It's about the great prophecy. I'm... worried about it to say the least."[/color] Kiera looked at Ryland for a moment as he finally answered her question she bit her bottom lip and nodded a bit, she remembered that very well it was one of her first quests at Camp Half-Blood. [color=DeepSkyBlue]"I remember that very well."[/color] Kiera said as she followed him inside of the cave and took a seat as well on one of the couches looking between the two of them. Rosie looked up to see Kiera and Ryland entering her own little slice of paradise and quickly went to shut off her music and stood up looking at Ryland seeing the look in his eyes knowing it all to well. [color=Thistle]"Whats wrong?"[/color] She asked, as she walked over towards a small sink and started to wash her hands off of the pain and turned to look at him. [color=Thistle]"Is it one of those demigod dreams you all always end up getting?"[/color] Rosie asked as she went back and sat down across from Ryland. [color=#0072bc]"Yes. But this one was... different. In my dreams we were going into the battle against those giants like usual. But then everything... stopped. I saw a massive eagle, like dad's symbol, and other animals lying on the ground beaten. Then this massive green snake appeared, it... impaled me with one of its teeth right here."[/color] He explained, lifting his shirt to touch exactly where the pain had been through his side. Though of course no damage could be seen on his skin as he looked back towards the Oracle. [color=#0072bc]"As it got ready for another attack, time unfroze, and I could swear the giant that killed Sasha looked at the snake like it wanted permission. Then it attacked me as she died and I woke up. The serpent was green as well."[/color] He explained quietly, looking down at the floor for a few moments. [color=#0072bc]"If those animals did represent the Gods being brought to their knees, then I think the serpent might be our girl in green. Do either of you have any idea what that could be? Worse, if the giant did look towards her then perhaps that also means they were under her influence."[/color] Ryland said quietly, worrying that the two girls would think him insane. Kiera sat there looking over at Ryland as he started to explain his dream, and leaned forward a little bit as she eyed him as he recalled the dream. The whole prophecy thing didn't sound very good at all which was disturbing as well, if it all did end up becoming true, as she rubbed the back of her neck a little bit. [color=DeepSkyBlue]"Maybe it's like a basilisk kind of creature or medusa?"[/color] Kiera asked looking at Ryland, she wasn't the one to witness the dream herself. [color=Thistle]"The whole prophecy thing still confuses me a bit, but it could really mean anything maybe someone who dislikes the gods, or one of their own?[/color]" Rosie said as she got up and gently patted Ryland on the shoulder. [color=Thistle]"I can start hitting the books, but i'm thinking it might be a medusa, but I really am unsure."[/color] Ryland shook his head in response to the two girls thinking about what he might have seen in his dream. [color=#0072bc]"I'm not too sure it would be Medusa. She's not really known for commanding other monsters, you know? She's usually isolated or shouting at her sisters. But that giant, I know for a fact it responded it to the snake. Moreso, Medusa doesn't really have the power to take on the Gods. Not by a long shot, she's a simple monster. If Percy Jackson could beat her, I much doubt that she would be an issue for any of the Gods."[/color] He explained, shaking his head in response to it all once more. [color=#0072bc]"Perhaps we should look into what Gods or beings might be affiliated with snakes."[/color] [color=thistle]"I can look into all that stuff if you'd like."[/color] Rosie said looking at Ryland and gave him a friendly smile, as she started to make her way towards a small fridge and pulled up a soda. [color=thistle]"Want something to drink?"[/color] Rosie asked both Kiera and Ryland, as she started to open one up. Kiera looked at Ryland for a moment and gave him a slight nudge. [color=deepskyblue]"Is there anything else in the dream you can think of?"[/color] Kiera asked him and gave a slight nod towards Rosie, as she tossed one towards her.
