"I hate you, Ocean eyes."

"I love you, Moonlight."

Lilith was directly teleported to Hera's cabin and was about to make her way out when a pair of arms wrapped around her frame  she was picked up, spun multiple times before she could even look at the camper's face.

She knew who that was, the dark haired son of Nemesis. Her face broke into a grin when Ethan again picked her up and spun her once more. The older boy had a smile on his own when he set her down.

"You really prefered Hades realm that much that you agreed to stay there?"

"Oh yeah. We ate pizza together you know." Lilith replied.

"No, you didn't."

"We did."

Ethan pushed her lightly, "You get all the fun."

Lilith laughed, "I am awesome. What can I say."

Ethan gave her a look and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her to his side, his smile turned soft. "I am glad you are back, Princess."

Lilith snuggled in his chest, "I am glad too."

Ethan smirked, "Now come on. We have camp traditions to attend."

The camp tradition was to burn the burial shrouds of the returned half blood during the ceremony. It wasn't an ordinary occurrence as many demigods do not return from their quest.

The Hermes cabin was the one who made Lilith's shroud, since she usually spend her entire day in their cabin. Her's was deep purple and silver, and stars sewn into the fabric. Not only that, the wings were as well designed on the fabric.

Lilith's eyes landed on her friends who held a proud look in their eyes. Not only by their creation but with the fact that she came back alive.

"Thank you." She said, her eyes shining slightly as she didn't got a shroud last time she went on a quest.

Alabaster ruffled her hairs and Ethan gave her a kiss on forehead.

"I am glad you came back alive, Lils." Aurora said to the Nightangel girl.

Drew joined them in this reunion, "thank gods you came back, I can't handle these two without you." She pointed at the boys making Lilith laugh.

Annabeth's was lovely grey silk with embroided owls, and Percy was the only one in his cabin, another cabin had to offer to make his. Ares cabin offered to create a shroud with an old white bedsheet, a painted smiley face with x's as eyes.

The campers cheered as the demigods burned their shrouds. Lilith watched and let out a laugh as Percy made a cheeky comment to Annabeth that the blonde punched him for.

As Apollo’s cabin led the sing-along and passed out s’mores, Percy was surrounded by his old Hermes cabinmates, Annabeth’s friends from Athena, and Grover’s satyr buddies, who were admiring the brand-new searcher’s license he’d received from the Council of Cloven Elders. The council had called satyr's performance on the quest as “Brave to the point of indigestion. Horns -and -whiskers above anything we have seen in the past.”
