A Feast at The S.T.Y.X

Arrival

"Is everyone here and ready to head off." I look out making sure everyone is here.

"Y-yep, everyone is here. Let's just get this over with." Idia says, while hiding behind me.

"We will have fun brother. Let's show Scarlett a fun time." I smile at Ortho's enthusiasm.

"Okay then let's get going. We don't want to be late for the opening ceremony." I turn and instruct the mirror on where to go. I bright light shines, and we are sent in. We open our eyes to see. A bunch of ancient Greek columns that surround us. 

"Welcome, Night Raven students to the city of Olympus. We are so glad to have you all here." A guy says stepping out. His hair is that of a rosey pink complexion. It was tied into a braid. It wrapped around his shoulder. His eyes are the color of golden dust. He was wearing a a royal purple suit. Snowy white fur hung across his other shoulder. Most would consider him beautiful, handsome, and delicate even. I looked to Vil, and he was staring in awe at him. "I am Freesia. I will be your tour guide for the banquet. Now please follow me." Since Idia, Ortho and I are the honored guests. Who were personally invited. We must take the lead in following him. As we walk. Idia turns to whisper something to me.

"He is a descendant of a women. Who was once named Aphrodite. She was known for her beauty. It seems to pass through the family." He says with an annoyed expression. While we are walking through the place. Idia keeps himself especially close to me. Whenever Freesia glances over. While Freesia stops at some places. Ortho sometimes goes up to talk with him about some of them.

"Now here is our beautiful flower garden. We have some wildflowers. That grow here to they are beautiful." Suddenly Freesia lifts his arm to stare at his watch. "Oh oops, it's time to meet up in the hall with the other guests. They also got a chance to look around. Let's head over." As we start walking. Freesia continues to talk. "Since the Olympian kids are hosting this event. We are in charge of leading. Our guest along the way. Since are an Olympian yourself Idia. Why don't you lead your group. Sadly, most Olympians didn't come with their classmates."

Idia stared in shock. He then decided to calm himself down and replied. "I will be glad t-to lead them."

Freesia gives an innocent smile and nods. "Thank you, this is a big help. A lot of the other Olympians will also be assigned a group to lead." After he says that. He stops in front of a big building with big doors. "This is the hall. I must get going. Now have a good time." He then turns to open the doors and leaves through them. 

"Eep, i-it seems most of them h-have arrived." I look into the to see, it packed.

"Don't worry, I will be by your side through this." To reassure him of what I said. I take his hand in mine. "Let's enter now."

Idia blushes and looks away shyly. "A-alright I believe. I have found my strength." We both walk through the door. The others behind us.

"Oh, my there are a lot of popular people here. So many business opportunities right here. May I go converse, our dear guide."

"Th-Thats fine, let's all go have some fun, hehe." As everyone leaves to go converse. "I'm fine as long. As I have you and Ortho. I won't feel along in this situation." I smile. Just then I spot in the corner of my eye. Someone walking towards us. I turn to see. Who it is. He has bright blonde hair. His eyes reflect the ocean. The tips of his hair a dark oceanic blue, they match the white suit. He is wearing with a dark blue shirt underneath.

"Aquarius hi, you are here too." Ortho speaks up in a cheery voice.

"Hello, I am from the Neptune family. My family operates on ocean business. I believe, I may have meet you two before. It is nice to see you, Idia, Ortho."

Idia turns to give a quick polite nod. " I-It is nice to see you here to Aquarius."

Aquarius leans in closer to Idia and whispers. "I heard the Jupiter's are here too. You better watch out Idia. This is the hall, so fellow Olympian children may converse with each other. Tomorrow though we will be mixed in with the adults. You better watch your back. I hear they are plotting something." Before Idia may respond. Aquarius quickly stands up. He says, "We'll that was a lovely chat." I notice Freesia's eyes wander for a quick second. It seems the Jupiter's. May not want him sharing this information.

I notice Idia is off in thought. Ortho seems to be thinking as well. I turn on my calm expression and speak. "Hello, I am Idia's girlfriend. It is nice to meet you." I extend my hand, and he shakes it.

"We'll it is nice to meet you. You must be Scarlett then. I've heard some things about you." He gives me a smile. "You are quite beautiful. I wonder. How Idia was able to find you."

"More like, I found him. He is my world." I give him my best happy smile. Idia back to his senses looks up, and he blushes. With his hair already turning pinking. Ortho gives a quiet giggle.

"We'll it his lovely. That you found each other." He says with a genuine smile.

"Oh, speaking of water business. I have a classmate. Who runs pretty good deals in the Coral Sea."

"Oh, who may that be. My family has been looking for some new business clients." I point in Azul's direction.

"He is over there conversing. He also came to find some clients. You two may get along. I believe." 

Aquarius gives a bow and speaks. "Well then, I will go introduce myself to him." 

I return the bow and speak. "It was wonderful meeting you. I hope. That we may meet again in the future."

"So do I miss Scarlett." Aquarius then turns and leaves to talk to Azul.

Idia then let's out a loud breath. "Thank you. I completely froze up." 

"It's alright. It was fun meeting someone you know." I lean and give him a small kiss on the cheek. He blushes even more. 

"The color was starting to die down. Now I think this pink is here to stay." I laugh. As Idia looks at his hair turning pink again. As Idia and I continue to talk. Someone speaks up.

"Welcome fellow Olympians and guests. We are glad to have you all here. I hope our children. Will make many new exciting friends. This opening ceremony is coming to an end. Some of our kids will lead the guests. Who don't know. Where to go in our wonderful home, once you all get settled in. Feel free to look around and converse with some more people, until the sun goes down. Tomorrow we will converse with you all as well. I hope you all. Have a wonderful time at this banquet. That is all. You all are free to head out." 

"I will go get the others. Let's group up at the entrance." 

"A-Alright, let's head over there Soul Catcher." Ortho then fly's off to get the others.

A bit later, we all gather by the entry to be lead. 

Ortho appears and speaks. "I found someone. Who will lead us to our rooms Idia." Just then Freesia appears from the doorway.

"I had one of my friends lead my group. To where they will be staying. I will be leading. You all for this part. 

"Then let's head out. I want to get some shut eye from all this talking." Leona says speaking up from his place beside Kira and Malleus. 

"Alright, let's get going then." Freesia leads us to the place. We will be staying at. Some of us marvel at how big it is. "I hope you all have a wonderful time. Freesia says, as he walks out.

Reina's Pov:
"This place is quite big. Even that hall was very tall for a normal person to go through." Riddle and I got assigned to one room with our dorm members. Some are in groups of two.

"Why don't we look around riddle. I would love to revisit that garden and look around."

"Alright, my queen we are all set here. I believe. Let's head there then." Riddle and I link our hands, and we head to the garden.
