The Fall of Olympus

As Estelle was laid onto the bed, Phoenix curled up outside the cabin. The girl sighed and closed her eyes, feeling her dragons presence in the back of her mind. It wasn't long before he gave her a mental nudge and stated she would want to see this before enveloping her mind in his. Estelle blinked her eyes open and stared blankly up at the ceiling of the cabin as she watched through PHoenix's eyes. They watched as Jason stepped forward and started speaking to the assembled demigods. It was an impressive speech to be sure. Once he was done Estelle laid there for a few minutes.

She was tired but her body was still tense and she wasn't able to relax. She sat up with a sigh, having to steady herself as she grew light-headed for a moment. Once the dizziness had passed she pushed herself to her feet. There were things to be done and there was no time for her to resting. She exited the cabin, feeling Phoenix's displeasure in the back of her mind. Her eyes surveyed the camp, heart aching at the destruction she beheld. How did it come to this? She blinked back tears as she walked towards the medic tent to make sure no one needed healing.

There were a few people that had minor wounds but before she could heal them Zane shooed her from the tent with an order to rest. She huffed. The last thing she felt like doing was resting. So instead she went around the camp offering assistance where she could. The Mess Hall had suffered the least damage and so she went to help straighten the columns that had fallen over.

Gold threads shot from her fingers as she flew above the stones, helping lift them into the air. Phoenix then grabbed it and set it in its place, making sure it wouldn't fall over again. It was tiring work but it was worth it if it meant she was helping out and not being a nuisance. Once that was done she flew up high over the camp before landing on top of Half Blood Hill. She sighed, hair blowing behind her as she gazed down at her home.

The Gods would pay for this if it killed her. She owed that much to those that had lost their lives in the unprovoked attack the Gods had launched against them. She drifted down the hill, wandering through the battle field. The monsters had been taken care of accordingly. A sniffle distracted her and she glanced near the stables, spying a small child from the Athena cabin.

Estelle walked over and crouched next to the girl, recognizing her as Ellen. She wordlessly wrapped her arms around the child, lifting her into her lap as the girl sobbed against her chest, Estelle soothingly petting her hair. "A-Anna's g-g-gone." Ellen cried. Estelle gently wiped the tears from her face. "I'll make the Gods pay for this Ellen, I swear." Estelle whispered, running her fingers through the child's' hair as the girl continued to cry. Eventually she cried herself to sleep and Estelle sat there with the sleeping child in her lap, hand still petting her hair.

The Fall of Olympus

Phoenix's eyes narrowed at the human, a puff of smoke curling up from his nostrils. Like you would even taste good. Not enough meat on you anyway. The dragon shot back as he watched Estelle walk over to the male demigod, the lizard following after her in case the two-leg tried anything funny. His attention was then taken by Estelle who staggered slightly upon hearing the boys words. He quickly shot his head forward to catch her, concern radiating from his mind to hers.

Estelle, upon hearing the words Little Star, stumbled as a jolt of shock ran through her and a faint memory rose to the surface. A memory from long ago in a place that still haunts her nightmares to this day. She stared at the boy in shock as the words from that fated conversation rang in her ears.

"I'm Jason, what's your name?"

"I don't remember."

"That's okay, I'll just give you a name. How about Estelle? It means Little Star."

"Little Star?"

"Yeah, you'll be my Little Star."

As the memory faded away Estelle pushed herself away from Phoenix and took a few hesitant steps towards the boy who now stood before her, unable to believe her eyes. However, before she could react any further, a call of her name drew her attention away to see Zane walking towards her with a concerned expression. She blinked at the blood covering him and knew she faired no better. Zane stopped before, placing his hands on her small shoulders as he looked her over for wounds, sighing in relief upon seeing only scratches marring her pale skin.

Estelle herself let her eyes scan over the male that had become like a brother to her. She frowned upon seeing a gash in his side and recalled that he had been in the group to help move the dead. "You should have come to the tent to be healed." She scolded him as she reached a hand out and hovered her palm over the wound. A golden light spilled out to cover the injury and after a few minutes she pulled her hand away to reveal healed skin.

She blinked spots from her vision, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her. She stumbled, both Phoenix and Zane rushing to catch her. She waved they attempts away as she steadied herself, stating she was fine. Zane scowled and reached out to hand her something. She looked down to see a bag of Ambrosia. She then looked back up at him. "Has it been given out to the others?" "Not yet-" "Then go hand it out. Go." She ordered firmly when he tried to argue.

He sighed, shot her an exasperated look before leaving to attend to his task. Estelle then turned back to Jason, walking over to him. As she stared up at him, she hesitantly reached a hand up to touch his cheek. "I didn't think I would ever see you again." She whispered, blinking back the tears that filled her eyes. As her eyes ran over him she noted the scratches covering him. Frowning she reached out and ran her healing hand over them.

Though it normally wouldn't take anything out of her, between the battle and healing the others earlier, she was drained. And so it wasn't rather surprising that another wave of dizziness swam over her and she sagged towards the ground as her knees gave out on her, her body having finally been pushed to the limit.

The Fall of Olympus

Estelle and Zane were interrupted from their task as a booming voice filled the sky. "MORTALS AND DEMIGODS. WE HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU ARE OUR SLAVES. BOW BEFORE YOUR NEW MASTERS. DEMIGODS, FACE YOUR DEATH." As the voice faded screams rang out. The two demigods glanced at each other before turning as one and sprinting from the stables. The sight that greeted them was pandemonium. Monsters had somehow gotten into the camp and demigods were already laying dead, scattered throughout the camp. Flexing her hand, Estelle's weapon appeared in her hand in sword form as she charged through the fray, Zane at her side. She pushed through the struggling bodies until she finally made it to the Big House.

She spotted Chiron standing on the porch with Mr. D and she raced over to them. "What's going on?!" She panted, looking up at the God. The being tilted his head as he looked at her, a slow smile spreading across his face. "The world has a new pecking order." He said as he waved a hand. A bolt of lightening struck the strawberry fields, killing several Satyrs. Estelle's eyes widened as she watched Mr. D turn to Chiron and reach over, ripping the centaurs head from his shoulders. Warm blood splashed over Estelle as she watched in frozen horror as the beloved teacher's headless body crumpled to the ground. Mr. D turned to her and smiled before he disappeared. Estelle numbly turned and looked out over at the camp.

All over God's were appearing and killing their children. She stood there frozen for several more moments as she witnessed Athena rip one of her daughters apart. Her hand tightened on her sword as she charged down the steps. Her wings unfurled from her back and she launched herself into the air. She flew around the camp, trying to restore order. Eventually she managed to gather the surviving demigods together at the Big House where they launched a desperate counterattack.

Phoenix flew over them, frying any monster he could get a good shot at. Estelle was riding the dragon, firing arrows down at the battle, taking out as many monsters as she could. Upon feeling a shirt in the air she glanced down to see a portal open up. Thinking it was another attack, she ordered Phoenix to stay airborne as she leaped off his back. She began to plummet towards the ground, wings tucked tight against her body. Right before impact she spread her wings and alighted onto the ground.

Weapon held out defensively in front of her, she took in the person in front of her. She was about to demand who he was when she spotted that Roman clothing. Had news reached the Roman camps about the attack? Or where they being attacked as well? Before she could really question the boy she spotted a Hellhound attempting to sneak up behind him. Without thinking she launched herself at him, looking as if she were about to tackle him but instead flew right past him and barreled into the monster.

The two tumbled before rolling to a stop. The Hellhound attempted to latch its dagger sharp teeth into her neck but with a flick of her wrist a glowing blue mace appeared in the air beside her and slammed into the beast, knocking it off her. She leaped to her feet as the Hellhound regained its bearings from the hit it took. The two circled each other. Estelle's weapon morphing from the lance form it had been in to the sword form. She was crouched slightly as she circled the monster, a feeling of familiarity washing over her. Fallen Shadows had done something similar, forcing her to fight against different creatures.

She tilted her head at the Hellhound as it growled at her before leaping at her once more, swiping out with lethal claws. Estelle whirled to the side, landing a hit to the creatures side as she danced away. She eyed the beast as she toed off her shoes, knowing they would only hinder her movements. Her hand then flashed out, sword morphing into a an identical version except she pressed a trigger and blue glowing bullets began firing at the beast. It howled as the bullets tore through its side. While it was distracted Estelle's weapon flashed back to the sword as she launched herself at the Hellhound, managing to sink her sword through its breast and into its heart. With a choked howl the beast slumped over dead.

Panting, Estelle jerked her weapon free and turned to look at the boy with glowing aquamarine eyes, the birthmark under her right eye standing out in contrast against her pale skin. Deciding that she could figure out what to do with him later, the girl turned and flung herself into battle.

After a fierce battle, the Gods finally retreated, stating that this wasn't the end before vanishing and leaving the surviving demigods to pick up what was left of the shattered pieces of their lives. All eyes turned to look up at Estelle who was standing on the front porch of the Big House. THroughout the course of the battle the others had all started acting like she was their leader. Realizing that they were looking to her for guidance she drew herself up and projected her voice over the silent crowd.

"Those with minor wounds split into two groups. Group one begin moving those with serious injuries to the healing tents. Group two begin moving our dead to the center of camp." Upon her order the demigods surged into motion. Estelle glanced back at the boy before glancing at Phoenix. Keep an eye on him for me. She said, eyes flicking back to the Roman demigod. She then turned and made her way down the steps and towards the healer tents. She entered and immediately got to work healing any wound she could. Some didn't make it but she saved as many as she could and afterwards, as she stood in front of where they had placed their fallen comrades, she swayed slightly, managing to catch herself for she pitched forward.

The demigods able to stand on their feet were gathered around the pyre of fallen demigods. Those that were not able to stand were leaning against others. It was silent as they stared at their brothers and sisters. Some where very young, no older than five or six. Estelle stepped forward and took a deep breath before her voice rang through the air, high and sweet like a bell.

Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night is falling,
you have come to journey's end.
Sleep now,
and dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling
from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
all of your fears will pass away,
safe in my arms
you're only sleeping.

What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.

Dawn will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass.
Hope fades
into the world of night
through shadows falling
out of memory and time.

Don't say,
"We have come now to the end."
White shores are calling
you and I will meet again.
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.

What can can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.

And all will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.

As she sang the rest of the Greek demigods joined in, their voices rising through the air. Phoenix stepped up beside her and with a lick of flame from his maw the pyre with their friends went up in flames. As the song faded Estelle stood there with her head bowed, silent tears streaking down her face. She had not known them for very long but they had all become something like a family to her, a thing she had never experienced before.

After a few moments the girl turned away from the pyre, wearily leaning against Phoenix. She felt drained, both emotionally and physically. Her eyes alighted on the boy from earlier and she approached him. "Who are you? Do you bring news of the Roman camps?" She asked bluntly. Normally she would be more polite but she didn't feel up to niceties at the current moment in time.

The Fall of Olympus

Long hair trailing behind her, Estelle drifted contently among the clouds. She flew high enough so the mundanes below would not see her and panic upon seeing a winged being. A loud flapping sound drew her attention and she glanced over to see her dragon Phoenix flying next to her. His mind wrapped around hers in welcome and she gave him a smile as she flapped upwards and over him. Tucking her wings she started to fall past him but at the last moment she grabbed the crest spine on his back and swung herself up onto his back, grasping a small ridge in front of her as Phoenix spread his wings and began to drift. How did your hunt fair? She inquired. She felt him brush against her mind, felt how content he was. Very well. Some sheep had wandered from the flock. They will not be missed. Estelle groaned. I hate it when you eat sheep, you always get their wool stuck in your teeth and then I have to get it out for you. A rumble erupted beneath her as Phoenix laughed. Fear not Little One, I promise I don't have wool stuck in between my teeth.

Estelle giggled with him as she relaxed against his neck, sighing as she closed her eyes. She enjoyed the wind breezing through her hair for a few moments before straightening and patting Phoenix on the side of his neck. We better get back. I promised Zane I would help with the horses today. She felt the dragon's affirmation as he angled himself in the direction of the camp. Soon it was in sight and Phoenix headed for the ground, landing on the beach. Estelle slide down onto the soft sand and after waving goodbye to Phoenix, she left her dragon to take a swim in the ocean as she began the trek towards the stables.

As she walked here and there campers would stop and ask her how her day was or what she was up to. For having not been at the camp for very long, Estelle was very surprised that all the demigods there took to her so quickly. It was she had been there for years. The wood nymphs, satyrs, and their resident centaur all liked her as well. She wasn't sure about the camp leader, Mr. D but then again she didn't think the God liked anyone. At least he didn't mispronounce her name like he did with most of the campers. Her thoughts then turned to the God subject. She wondered if any of them would like her if they knew her past or who her father happened to be. She wondered how long it would take them to start to question why she hadn't been claimed yet. And none of them could place her powers either so it lead to even more questions. Mr. D and Chiron where the only ones to know of her time spent in Fallen Shadows and she guessed they just assumed she got her power from the experiments.

If only it were that easy. She shook the thoughts from her head as she arrived at the stables and peeked inside. Zane was already inside and she stepped up next to him as he was grooming one of the pegasi. Patting the horse gently on her nose she gave a small smile up at the son of poseidon who greeted her return. After asking her flight went he then handed a curry brush and began showing her how to brush down the horses coats. Soon she had mastered the motion and he wandered away to begin mucking out the stalls.

Estelle began humming to herself softly, enjoying the bright blue day.

The Fall of Olympus

Estelle

☾ Stands at 4’8 | Hair goes all the way to her ankles | The tips of her wings go to her ankles ☽

Age 16

Daughter of Uranus- Greek God of the Sky and Heavens | Son and Husband to Gaia and Father to the 12 Titans

Estelle is a spirited, smart, clever, kind, playful, and a very adventurous girl in her late teens, though a bit naive. However, she is not afraid to stand up for herself or others when the situation calls for bravery. Despite all this, the time spent in Tartarus made her wary of strangers and have trust issues. Her trust must be earned and even then it is hard to come by. At times though, Estelle can be very shy and will not really speak all that much.

Estelle was conceived when the God of the Sky, Uranus, was enticed by a mortal woman. He descended from the Heavens and had his way with this woman. He then returned, never knowing what would come from his actions. Nine months later Estelle was born and when Uranus found out he panicked, not wanting his wife Gaia to find out. So he killed Estelle’s mother and hid Estelle away. However, when the Titans rebelled against Uranus and wounded him and then the war with the Gods ceased, they discovered Estelle. She was then thrown into Tartarus where she was tortured by the God of Time himself. It was there that she befriended a boy named Jason. When Estelle was three, Jason escaped and took her with him. However, once on the surface she became separated from the boy. She was picked up by a facility called Fallen Shadows who researched in the paranormal and took great interest in her wings. They captured her and took her back to the facility where she suffered almost ten years of experiments and torture. During this time she had befriended a dragon named Phoenix. When she was thirteen she and Phoenix managed to escape. They wandered a bit before meeting a satyr who immediately recognized Estelle as a Demi-God and took her to Camp Half-Blood where she has been ever since.

+ Light Wing Manifestation~ The user has or can form wings out of light and use them from transportation to offensive and defensive purposes such as using them as a shield to block oncoming attacks or slicing the user's target with a bright energy sting. (Shown in picture below appearance)

+Thread Manipulation~ User can create, shape and manipulate threads and string of light. Long, thin and flexible, shaping and combining them as needed, or moving them with telekinesis. She is able to change the density, hardness etc such as using it to slice apart a tree.

What It Looks Like

+ Light Healing~ The ability to heal using light. However, she is unable to heal herself and healing drains her strength and energy.

+ Solar Constructs~ She is able to create objects/items with her energy.

What Her Power Looks Like

Celestial Mage Keys- both weapons and power as she is the only one that can use them.

Weapon

(Ignore the dust part of the weapon, it fires arrows/bullets she makes using her Solar Constructs power)


The weapon folds into a bracelet/ring she wears on her right hand.

Phoenix

☾ Adult (30 years after hatching): Height- 16 Feet. Length- 24 Feet. Wingspan- 32 Feet. ☽

He is very protective of Estelle and dislikes other males in general.

Estelle is terrified of the dark. Just as well, her powers are much weaker in the darkness as well. She still suffers from night terrors of her past and tries to put off sleeping for as long as she can.
