New Demigod Cabin: The Horae (Seasons)
Greek mythology refers to multiple groups as Horae, a name associated with the passage of time. The main triad consists of Thallo or Thalatte(Spring), Auxo or Auxesia (Summer), and Carpo (Autumn). As goddesses of the seasons they are closely associated with agriculture and often accompany Persephone. The Horae are also associated with flowers and beauty and in ancient times were sometimes conflated with the Charites. Both groups are part of the retinue of Aphrodite, who is described as wearing clothes made by them. In art, the Horae are often joined by Chione, the snow goddess daughter of Boreas (god of the cold north wind) and Orithyia (mountain winds), who represents winter. The Horae's cabin is essentially three connected cabins radiating from a small atrium. Each section is themed around a specific season, and the room temperatures are all separate and don't mingle. There are lots of scented candles and sticks of incense with smells associated with the different seasons. In the atrium are an ice-cream cooler and snack bin filled with goodies that are limited-time seasonal flavors like pumpkin, peppermint, and smores. In fights demigod children of the Horae can use nature and the air around them to induce a strong allergy attack, making it difficult for their opponents to focus and coordinate. The more dust and pollen there are in the air, the stronger the attack is. A Horae demigod's powers are also amplified during the season their mother is associated with. But seasons are determined by the sun and its position in relation to earth, so these demigods are weakest during the night, in the underground, or indoors with no natural light.
