Busy with spell work, research, training, her camp responsibilities, and trying to get ready to welcome the new campers… Lilith found herself needing to take a step back - but the only time she really felt like she could was at night. The hours in which the sun disappeared had always been her favorite. While Lilith’s powers had never been noticeably more stronger at night, she would admit that she [i]felt[/i] stronger. The night sky made the young woman more clear headed, focused, creative, and energized. Sometimes it was almost like she could feel the energy of the magic coursing through her veins. During these quiet times when Lilith was unbothered, she spent her time writing in her grimoire, smoking, listening to music, and doing whatever else she wanted to enjoy that day. It was on one of these nights that one of her best friends came knocking - Erin Chase, daughter of Hades. Lilith had always held a special place in her heart for the children of the Underworld. People had a tendency to look at and treat them differently, and Lilith had always made it her personal mission to make sure everyone felt safe around her. Erin was no exception to this, so when Lilith opened the door to see worry in her friends eyes, her heart filled with panic. After inviting her friend inside, Lilith packed her [url=https://i.etsystatic.com/15295775/r/il/1e1b87/1757528812/il_fullxfull.1757528812_snqg.jpg]pipe[/url] with lavender and listened as her friend explained the current situation. Aphrodite was accusing Erin of being a thief. The thought made Lilith laugh sarcastically at the time. While Lilith didn’t have any personal beef with Aphrodite, she didn’t particularly like her, either. Erin continued on with her explanation. As the daughter of Hades began to list off the names of the people going on the quest, Lilith was pleased with Erin’s selection. Lilith was sure that there was a person or two extra that Erin wished she could bring along - but she didn’t dare ask. Too many demi-gods in one place attracted too many monsters, and that wasn’t something anyone wanted to deal with. Besides - Erin seemed confident in her decision making, and Lilith trusted her well enough to know that Erin didn’t chose who to come with her easily. Lilith had made the decision to go with Erin on her quest before the question had even been asked, leaving no hesitation when it came time for her to answer. After doing her best to make sure that Erin was okay before she left, the daughter of Hecate locked her door behind her, and turned back to stare at the bedroom before her. [color=00FFFC]”Where… Do I even… begin?”[/color] Thankfully, Lilith didn’t have to even answer her own question. Her body and mind went into auto-pilot mode, grabbing her [url=https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rsEa+414L._AC_UY395_.jpg]enchanted bag[/url] off of her bedside table, Lilith began tossing items inside. Mavis hopped up on the bed as Lilith was packing, Nala watching patiently beside her. “What’s going on?” Lilith heard Nala’s question in her mind. [color=00FFFC]”Were you not listening, silly,”[/color] Lilith began, joking. Better to laugh than to panic, after all. [color=00FFFC]”Erin needs me to leave camp with her for a bit. Aphrodite is accusing demigods of thievery again. I just hope it doesn’t cause issues amongst the campers…”[/color] Now standing by her dresser, Lilith was taking a brief moment to decide on what clothes she should bring. Erin hadn’t mentioned where they were going exactly, so it was best to be prepared for everything. Deciding on a few pairs of jeans and some t-shirts, Lilith continued tossing all of her other essentials into her bag: toothbrush, grimoire, notebooks, pens, herbs, various crystals, weed, drachmas, cash, ambrosia, nectar - and most important - ten of each of her specialty potions - though she had brought plenty extra of the calming potion along for all of them. Once all packed, Lilith made sure that Mavis and Nala both understood what was going on - Lilith would be gone for a week. They were to behave. Their food bowls were full, and Uncle Christian would make sure they had plenty of water and headpats while she was away. Taking a long shower to clear her mind, Lilith had decided that it was just best to pull an all-nighter. There was no way that she would be able to wake herself back up in time if she fell asleep in time to be at Erin’s. Dressed and ready to go, Lilith took her time making her way to the Hades cabin. Taking in the scenery of the camp around her, Lilith's eyes focused on the sunrise for a brief moment. The colors had almost completely faded, the sun almost awake - but there were still enough pinks and oranges to take her breath away. All around her, Camp-Half Blood was coming to life. Campers were making their way to do their morning chores and to the mess hall for breakfast. Small conversations and laughter filled the young woman's ears as she forced her feet forward. Once inside of the Hades Cabin, Lilith made her way to Erin’s bedroom as quickly and as quietly as possible in order not to wake up any of the remaining campers that might be sleeping. Giving a quick knock on the door, Lilith entered her best friend's room, taking a deep breath as she stepped through the doorway. Taking her respective seat on the floor at the foot of Erin’s bed, Lilith exchanged sleepy hellos and pleasantries with her fellow demigods. When Erin created the shadow in the corner of her room, Lilith felt her stomach tie into a knot. Not because she had a problem with shadow travel - she had always welcomed the darkness - but because this was the first time she was leaving Camp in [i]years[/i]. Her home, her safe space, most of her friends and family - she was leaving it all for the ‘real’ world - and Lilith had no idea how that was about to affect her. [color=00FFFC]’Woman up and push through,’[/color] she thought to herself quietly as she stood up. Going through the shadows, Lilith didn’t expect to see what was waiting for her on the other side. Erin had mentioned that they were stopping by her family's home first - but this was [i]not[/i] what Lilith was expecting. [color=00FFFC]”Wow…”[/color] she gasped, clearly mesmerized. Growing up poor and in the south, you were accustomed to rundown trailers and brick houses in the suburbs. Houses as fancy as the Chase’s were few and far between. Scared to touch anything in fear that she may break something, Lilith stood there awkwardly amongst the group, waiting on someone else to make the first move so that she could follow.
