leather gloves were slipped on and he was watching his own breath in the cold of the morning. after drinking ambrosia, he felt himself more attached to the nighttime, but he needed to get the lay of the land. he was sitting on stop of a large rock, overlooking the lake and a couple of people across from it.

then as he collided his hands together, he looked to the side to see someone that clearly didn’t need them. “really?” he breathed out before realizing how rude it was. “what i meant to say was hello, i’m genaro. i have no idea how you don’t even look remotely cold right now.” safe to say that he was impressed. “i can assume you aren’t hecate’s son like i am. that or you’re from antartica.”

With the bond that was formed Tristan didn’t feel much different. Everything that he had felt towards Remy was just heightened, so in a sense it was still pretty pure in thought. “Have I told you how proud I am of you recently?” A wide grin formed on his face as he put one of the strawberries down and decided to take a seat for himself. The black wings were placed on the table so that they wouldn’t break or anything. “Like, seriously proud. I know that last time you were around I didn’t have any concerns that you were going to leave, but now I’m sure that you’re going to try your hardest and we’re going to see this thing to the end.” That was all that he could hope for now. Not having to say goodbye to his friends that he was getting close to after burying them.

‘‘Hey! St. Croix,’‘ he told the other, nailing the name. ‘‘Can I talk to you?’‘ His forearms resting against the railing separating the training grounds from where he was, Phillip nipped down at his lower lips. He was slightly nervous, but it was nothing compared to how bad he felt for leaving the other male without much of an explanation the night before.

‘‘I’ve been feeling like trash and I wanted to apologize for the other night. I like to think first impressions are important and I feel like I’ve missed a good opportunity to act cooler than I am,’‘ he simply told with a chuckle, lean fingers lifghtly scratching the side of his jaw as he took a step back, away from the fence he was leaning against. ‘’Listening to the signal our  body send us is apparently a thing,’’ he grinned to himself. Refusing to take the little episode he had to go through seriously.

soon enough everyone was going to realize that this wasn’t just all fun and games, that camp wasn’t just a vacation. with the recent encounters and then attacks, tristan was worried that some of the newbies were going to get scared or unmotivated. he decided to take remy out for that same reason. while staying within the barrier, he brought the man over to where he kept his motorcycle. “what do you think?” the hunter smiled softly as he looked over at the ice prince. “i figured we could take a break from all of the training. from what i’ve heard and seen during the encounters, you really don’t need my help with the bow and arrow anymore.” he grinned slightly, although he would still train with remy whenever he wanted to. “i know the first home attack can be kind of invasive though. while i don’t necessarily know everything that happened, i figured that maybe we could wind down a bit?” tristan pushed his eyebrows up together. “y’know, get back to a semi-normal life even though we are no longer normal.”

Ein neues Jahr beginnt und so wie alle anderen auch, hoffe ich darauf, dass dieses besser wird, als das letzte. Vor genau fünf Monaten waren wir gerade in Horten und haben den Abend an einem Fjord genossen. Wir waren super planlos, weil wir nicht wussten, was wir am nächsten Tag machen sollten...Jetzt, fünf Monate später, sind wir gerade in Thüringen bei unseren Eltern und genießen das Winterwunderlandwetter. Seit fast einer Woche liegt hier nun schon Schnee. Wir gehen jeden Tag in den Wald und genießen das tolle Wetter. Auch graue Tage haben hier ihren Reiz. Heute gab es dann sogar blauen Himmel und Sonnenschein. Ich weiß nicht, wann ich das letzte Mal so viel Schnee gesehen habe, aber es macht mich wirklich sehr glücklich. Ich denke, im Schnee wird jede*r wieder zu einem kleinen Kind: Schneeballschlacht, Schneeengel und Schlitten fahren (das wollen wir morgen machen). Zur selben Zeit frage ich mich aber auch, was das neue Jahr wohl bringen wird - außer digitales Semester an der Uni und Schlange stehen am Konsum. Bisher haben wir geplant, sobald es wieder warm genug ist, ein paar Tage mit Zora nach Bayern oder in die sächsische Schweiz zu fahren. Im Sommer würden wir gerne Schottland erkunden - ob das was wird, werden wir noch sehen... Ich selber habe mir für 2021 tatsächlich ein paar Dinge vorgenommen: mehr vegane Tage einbauen, mehr lesen, weiter Norwegisch lernen und weiterhin jeden Tag Sport machen. Und das wichtigste, wie jedes Jahr: ich möchte etwas neues lernen, irgendwas. 2020 habe ich gelernt Socken zu stopfen und mit der Nähmaschine zu nähen. Oh und ein paar Sätze auf Norwegisch bekomme ich auch schon hin: Jeg bake ostekake. (Ich backe Käsekuchen.)

Remy didn’t see Max after the party. The door to his cabin unopened, his usual spot to eat empty. After what they shared he wasn’t sure how to feel about his absence or even if he should be concerned. Understanding the need for space at times. Still one night he came to sleep against the cabin of dreams. Hoping that he would find his friend on the dreamscape like he had before. But when he opened his eyes only the morning sun was there to greet him. Maybe he would try again another night.

The first night Remy had slept outside of his cabin, Maximus could sense it. At least, the way his body unconsciously reacted to the presence of one of his fellow demigods around him. Not that he could help it, but the son of Hypnos unwittingly emanated an aura of calm to at least give him comfortable dreams while he was kept outside of Maximus’ cabin. Still, the slumber child continued to weave a labyrinth of dreams, wanting to keep the other out for now. It wasn’t until several days later that he finally allowed a clear path for the son of Boreas to find him, although Maximus kept his nightmares and shadow wolves wrapped around his legs. It wasn’t that he was afraid; it was that he wasn’t sure what to say to him. He didn’t know what to say to anyone anymore. “...You should have slept inside.”

In the midst of his return to camp Remy hadn’t put much thought to the TATTERED SCROLL he found from the trial. He decided to take it to the library and pull a few text to see if he could make any use of it.

remy pours over countless books until he can decipher what’s written on the tattered, ancient looking scroll. he smirks to himself when he finally has it figured out.

@winterwonderboy gets a letter & some pasta! 

so i know that we’ve only had one conversation from which you remembered, but this is one of the dishes i remember you liking the most. sadly it’s a little average, but i think that it’ll do for now. until i have more time to cook and i’m not too distracted.

anyway, onto the real purpose of this letter. like i said, i don’t care if you don’t remember any of us or who you were your first time here, but i do. i know that you’re going to push through and come out swinging on the other side when you have that first sip of ambrosia. i know that i’m going to be proud of you again like i was two months ago. 

all that i ask is that this time around, you won’t hesitate to come to me if you need anything. if you’re feeling down or the need to take a break again, talk it out with one of us first. even if i’m not your go to person, just find someone that you can trust and be honest with. at the end of the day, we’re building something here and we’ll hopefully have each other’s backs. hope you like the food and come to me whenever you want to train!

sincerely,  your old mentor
