Lucian wasn’t a child of Athena, but that didn’t mean he was stupid. The way she talked about the books, it was clearly personal. Matching it with the description of the girl he had been reading about, the demigod turned back to the book only to glance up at her again. 

“Looks like you’ve come much further since then, Annabeth Chase.” 

Even he, for all that he’d gone through, had never been down in Tartarus. He could imagine it easily, but he doubted it would come close to the true horror of it. 

Life always was just shitty for demigods. The cycle didn’t change, but the gods did get new and improved ways of making them miserable. “I suppose this explains all the rumours I’ve heard of trouble with the gods here. I’ve yet to interfere, it doesn’t seem to be my problem, although I am... you could say an early edition of your Luke Castellan, from the books before.” 

Despite what people might think about him, Lucian did have a slight sense of humour, if it leaned to the sarcastic side, so he bowed stiffly, leaning on his cane. “Lucian Hall, Miss Chase. Son of Hades, and much more importantly, the man who tried to burn down Olympus after being foolish enough to save it.” 

Tilting her head slightly to the side, her glare mostly holds suspicion as she presses her lips together in thought. "I've had to, there's a survival instinct in everyone and fighting is just a part of what we do." She responds back, fiddling with her camp necklace as she looks down. "If only they could have just stayed as rumors, but there's a whole war going on thanks to me and the gangs." The glare she had earlier only hardens at the mention of him being an early version of Luke. "Oh, di immortales." She mumbles, making a face at his bow. "If Olympus winds up here, I would like it to be known that I would more than happily fight you if you try to burn it again, mostly because as a few books before said, I was an official architect of Mount Olympus. The only foolish idea is when one thinks they could bring the gods down, I don't like them, but I'm not stupid enough to try that."

Corrina yawned, stretching her arms out wide as she peaked one eye open. She’d fallen asleep in her brother’s presence, weirdly, as he usually talked enough to keep her from that. She spotted a glass of what looked to be water on the nearest table, reaching out to grab it and take a large gulp. Her throat was dry and she was groggy, this would be a huge relief — or so she thought. The glass was pulled away from her face at lightening speed by her own two hands as she sputtered out a few coughs, her face scrunched up into a sour expression. “Is that vodka?” A hand rose to her chest as her coughing finally subsided. “Why is that just sitting out here for some unsuspecting person to mistake it for water — fuck.”

A Day At The Beach

“Okay, so we’ve got chairs, towels, sunscreen--”

“Ori!”

Lucian jumped, dropping half of what he was carrying as said Ori yelled into his ear. “Hmm, yes. We have an Ori. Can’t forget that.” he said, semi under his breath though it was in good humor.

“Come on, you little jellybean.” Ori said, scooping Bambi up into his arms, holding her close against his chest. “Sterling, I’ve got your kid!” he called over his shoulder as he headed for the beach.

Lucian thought about protesting, but Ori did watch out for her anytime he was around. Still, he watched as Ori strode off down the beach, carrying his child.

The other students and teachers were slowly trickling in, each one ecstatic for a day at the beach. And it was a perfect day for it. The sun was bright and warm and there was a soft breeze making it comfortable to be outside. Lucian couldn’t blame them as he preferred the beach over any other place on earth.

Well, other than the school.

And their house.

“Do you need any help?’ He said as he shut the back of the car. “Ori has carted away our child and to be honest, I’m not thrilled.” Lucian said, laughing softly. He was happy that Ori loved Bambi--he just hoped Ori remembered that she didn’t belong to him.
