His heart dropped, watching the expression Erin wore. He couldn't begin to imagine what she must be feeling right now. Knowing that Zeus had put her on trial, to know that if she couldn't get that stupid bird back, she would be given to Ares. Then the Oracle. He'd heard rumors of how prophecies were given to demigods. He'd read books on past demigods' accounts, and the picture the words drew on his mind was not something Kyrin would ever want to experience. Then just out of the shadows, Dorian and Spencer both appeared before Erin. While he was relieved to see so many people rush to her side, he was worried that their questions would only drive the girl into a breakdown. Even then, he was with them. She wasn't alone. He was relieved. [color=54626f]"You have us."[/color] He walked up to Erin, carefully touching her shoulder. He knew how wary she could be during stressful situations. He understood her pain, and he understood how badly he needed to be there for her. How bad they all needed to be there for her. [color=54626f]"Do you want to go back to the cabin?"[/color] Getting her far away from the Big House was the best idea for now. Until she calmed down enough to tell them about the prophecy. Figure out what it meant and go from there. If more people showed up looking for her they might just stress her even further. Kyrin wasn't going to let Erin feel alone. Not again. She had them now. They were all willing to go through hell for her; he was sure of it. He may not the two Thanatos sons, but if Erin trusted them, then he did too.

They both exchanged looks when Mr. D announced that Ares had accused Erin Chase of stealing Aphrodite's Dove. Anyone with two brain cells would know that Erin, of all people, would do no such thing. Apparently, Valeria had more brain cells than the God of War. There was no proof. Absolutely no evidence that Erin had done what she was being accused of. [color=b45a5c]"Bullshit. That's right. Accusing someone with no proof, and then if she doesn't find some Dove, she'll be punished for it? There's no investigation, no warning. 'Innocent until proven guilty.' I thought we had moved on past that after the whole thing with Percy."[/color] Valeria scoffed. [color=b45a5c]"Is Zeus stupid, or just lazy?"[/color] [color=7F6B5D]"Woah, Vale, don't say that."[/color] Next to her, Carlos shook his head. [color=7F6B5D]"I'm sure that this is just a misunderstanding. Even if Erin does have to complete the quest, she has, like, the camp to help her."[/color] He understood where Valeria's frustration was coming from. There were times that Carlos thought that the only reason demigods existed was because the Gods and Goddesses were bored. But going as far as to insult them wasn't something that even he wouldn't do. [color=b45a5c]"What? Is he going to come down and strike me? Appear in front of me and tell me off? That dude can't even keep track of his on shit."[/color] Valeria rolled her eyes. Her whole reaction to the new announcement took Carlos and other campers that knew her by surprise. The girl was known for being an airhead that always asked all sorts of weird questions. It wasn't uncommon for the daughter of Hecate to voice her opinions freely and unwanted, but this, this was different. [color=b45a5c]"Stupid."[/color] She muttered to herself and turned on her heels to walk away from the tower and the onlookers. If they kept going like this, things would never change. Olympus would continue to see them as puppets or some playthings. She had so many questions bouncing around in her skull. Who had actually stolen that stupid dove? Why would Ares even blame Erin? Did they really have nothing else to do up in Olympus? Why were they even cause this? Whoever the real thief was must have a really big grudge against Erin or her father. Valeria groaned softly. All of her questions would probably go unanswered for the rest of her life. It bothered her. All of these questions and the lack of answers. The curiosity ate at her from the inside. Valeria could feel it deep in her as it spread over her body like some sort of disease. She walked up to the lake bank and kicked one of the rocks into the water, watching it as it sank to the bottom. She hadn't even notice Talon just a few yards away as she sat crouched down to pick up a few more rocks to throw at the lake. [/color][/indent]
