If everything worked out as it should, she would never age. She would always look to be on the cusp of adulthood. He would grow older, wrinkles covering his face, his vision failing, and his hair falling out along with his teeth. And then one day, he would die. And she would still be on the cusp of adulthood. She would stand by him until his end; but he could not stand by her until hers. But maybe they would both die in this conflict. Maybe then the vow would hold. The hair on the back of her neck stood up as she heard Kristin's voice. She had to resist the urge to pull her blades and skin the demigod alive. What part of [i]not coming[/i] did Kristin not understand? Did she think Nancy was just being dramatic and would end up doing this quest with them? Prophecies be damned, Nancy had found her workaround, and it didn't involve her having to work with Kristin or any of the others. She'd go to the grotesque hotel with Zeke. What the others did there, wandering around the Casino like zombies, well that was not any of her business. [color=#9370DB]"Is she fucking deaf?"[/color] Nancy growled under her breath. Irritation aside, they'd need to find a place to shelter down for the night. [color=#9370DB]"Let's go find some shelter. I'd rather not sleep on the street."[/color] She wasn't thinking though about paying for a motel. Truthfully, she was thinking about finding some building that seemed reasonably safe - a school, maybe - and breaking in. They had to wait for first light if they were going to catch a ride from the Sun Chariot. Nancy hoped their asshole dad had been eavesdropping and knew they needed a ride.[hr][hr][center][h3][color=a187be][b]🌈 Leda Storm 🌈[/b][/color][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/97b8c553cbb195c7ea49cc44e8711ccc/tumblr_inline_p1oageaqHl1rifr4k_540.gif[/img][hr][b][color=a187be]Location:[/color][/b] Under the Sea [b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] Superspeed [hr][hr][/center] Much faster than even the speedster could've anticipated, Kiera was back from her mission and here to rejoin them. A small part of Leda was angry about that - she'd rather her girlfriend be out of harm's way, farm from Oceanus. But that wasn't the life of a demigod. And Leda wasn't going to keep Kiera like some prized flower, wilting away inside a jar. She would rather love Kiera briefly and lose her than rob her of everything that made her, well, her. She hoped her girlfriend felt the same. The ground shook and Leda briefly lost her balance, the hefty weight of the trident throwing her off center. But she managed to steady herself. She grimaced, seeing that their means of escape had been drastically reduced. They could try to blast their way out, but the cave could collapse further and kill them all. The telekhines started barking, and if the theft of the trident hadn't been noticed before, it definitely was now. Sera was in. She didn't have any hesitation. Leda though couldn't help but feel... [i]fear[/i]. Fear in a way she never did facing down common monsters. Her palms felt sweaty, even under water. [color=a187be]"Alright. Kiera, take this - it should probably respond better to you,"[/color] Leda said, handing her girlfriend the trident. It made sense. Poseidon's daughter would be more attuned to it. [color=a187be]"I'll start with the grunts, you two stay hidden till he comes out,"[/color] Leda asked. Leda then took off at a charge without waiting for confirmation from the sisters. Her sword glowed red as she swung it through the ranks of the demons, cutting off the sounds of their horrific barking and covering the cave floor in monster confetti. There were about two dozen or so of the beasts, and Leda moved so fast that the stroke of her sword was faster than the beating of her heart. She would have finished them all, had it not been for a sudden surge of pain, sending the speedster crashing to a halt. Blood collected around a horrific wound in her lower back, the teeth of a telekhine having sunk into her. Leda screamed out in pain, as the demon released her, her blood coating its teeth.
