XX. A nice day for a beach fight

Camp Half-Blood, Long Island – Present

Everything was a flurry of excitement between the campers of CHB, not that it was not always this lively, but that almost increased tenfold when it was time for the Tournament Week. Demigods and legacies of different ages were running around the cabins to clean everything, the remains of the last great paint-ball war were proving to be rather stubborn, so the Hecate cabin needed to take it into their hands after those from cabin six failed. No one wanted to let the Ares cabin take care about it when they suddenly appeared with double headed axes on their shoulders.

This year had Camp Jupiter arrived a bit earlier due to the requested attendance on Olymphos for the Senate members Jason and Reyna Grace as well as Frank and Hazel Zhang so the Greeks and Romans started the work together, well after Chiron and Lupa were done with the usual scolding that is.

Banners were put out, flowers made to bloom and plants to grow, many run around with cleaning utensils like brooms and feather dusters to help the cleaning harpies out in their job, satyrs played their songs for the nature magic to spread, calling on a swarm of butterflies, laughter and happiness filled the air. The nymphs were busy making food for the hard working children while discussing plans regards what to make when their mortal and godly guests arrive at camp.

"Great, we are soon done with this part of camp." come it from a partly Asian looking girl with long raven black hair, decorated with sky-blue highlights. She had been just putting up the last pair of ribbons on one of the several cabins assigned to her when her blue eyes fell on three nearing people whom she had not expected to see for another two months. "Tori? Xander? Ray? "she asked in confusion while climbing down on the ladder, gaining the attention of the trio.

"Hey, Kelly seems as if you guys are coming along rather well with the work." Victoria or Tori as most tended to call her said, but Kelly was not without a ground a legacy of Aphrodite and could note that something was off with the demigod; the feeling of protectiveness towards loved ones was almost like a barrier of granite around her, not that her twin Alexander was doing any better.

"Did something happen that you two seem so agitated?" she asked the twins while Rayen, their cousin only sighed as he looked at her with a pained expression on his face.

"You could say that, but if you think these two spread of the feeling of murderousness you should see my uncle, he is ready to commit the act!" he said while throwing his hands up in the air "Meaning, uncle Amos will be quiet busy to get him to calm down, they will come here after the danger has passed." Rayen groaned while hoping that his dad was not at Brooklyn House at the given moment or there would be blood. Rayen was a tall teen with finely toned muscles muscles, slightly tanned skin and tussled black hair, his blue eyes and stance always held a type of confidence in them which Kelly really liked.

"That does not exactly tell me much about the ground." Kelly replied back, but did take a step back when Tori let out a canine like growl, it was kind of scary seeing that when it come to the twins was Victoria always the calmer one and the person who stopped her brother and cousin from constantly fighting. The later thing had much to do with the fact that Alexander was in nature much like his mother and Rayen was like his own father, meaning leave those two alone unsupervised and a disaster is bound to happen.

No matter her confusion and slight fear, the head of the Aphrodite cabin kept her gaze on the other girl as she tried to figure out what could be wrong. As said was Victoria much calmer, probably due to her coming more after her magician father, the twins seemed to also favour the parent in their looks to whose personality they stood the closest to. Alexander the slightly older of the two had pale skin with shoulder length black hair and sharp features, his brown eyes which he had interestingly inherited from his father always seemed to shine with a tinge of crimson when he was angry, like at the given time. Tori on the other hand had unlike her brother a darker skin complexion which Kelly always associated with the colour of milk chocolate, slightly softer features then her brother and amber eyes like the desert, but just like by Xander they also held a crimson glow if angry, her long raven black hair was usually braided with small jewels, this time gold like the Camp Khepry T-shirt, - with the Camp name in orange-red letters and a large Scarab in the middle -, the trio wore, her to the jewels matching glasses and had were never missing. Finally after what seemed like an eternity the twins sighed in defeat, but that fact did not make Kelly feel all to much reassured seeing how there was another thing to the twins beside the red in their eyes when they were angry or really frustrated, namely the fact that currently both sported their shaa like ears and tail, Xander's crimson like his animal form and Tori's black with the tips of their tail and ears by both siblings being gold. Since they were not toddlers anymore had the two a better grip on their transformations and if it should still happen then the feeling making them do the partial change may give ground for worry.
