Chapter 5: Visitation or a Warning

"Chapter 5: Visitation or a Warning?"

After leaving Annabeth Chase once the tour was over, she went to the coastal part of the camp. The sea always calmed her.

"As it should," LO.Triton and LO.Poseidon nod in agreement.

It may be the fact she was an Oceanid or that in her blood, runs through one of the many deities of water. The faces in the water that she will always see when she was younger, gasps and smiled cheerfully at her. Seemingly to be glad to have seen her. Furina waved back of course. She stayed there, near the waters of the beach.

"They are massive flirts, but they are trusted messengers of the sea, and the best to collect gossip," LO.Triton says, his face and voice flat, but the fact that he even paid attention to them earned a look from his counterpart.

LO.Triton couldn't care less, he didn't care much for Furina, he just.... shared gossip of the sea with her occasionally.

The black haired girl took out her phone from the hidden pocket under her coat. She had sent a small text message to her manager Xolani, to not tell anyone about her current situation and that she was currently unable to explain.

" I do not want to be in that situation, she seems a bit frightening," Percy jokes lightly.

"Oh, she can be, especially to certain people," Furina nods in agreement.

With an apology she temporarily blocked the number. The girl sighed and looked over the horizon. It was still the afternoon.

"Hng...!" Tears slowly dripped down her cheeks.

No matter where she is, she'd always cry huh?

"Lady Furina, It's okay to cry, it isn't a weakness." Neuvillette whispers.

Furina heard him and softly smiled, she still carried on those thoughts of all the needless crying she tended to do, but his words made it better.

And she supposed, no matter how much she said that she already processed it, she was still truly human. Even if she was half god, a god's physical body or made by a god to act as a god... tears always followed her everywhere.

Furina was sad, devastated and angry. Sally Jackson was the best thing to have ever happened to Furina. To her who never had a family in the first place, Sally was her first mother. And she failed to save her. Like how she failed Fontaine. Furina promised herself to protect the ones dear to her. Never again would someone she cared about ended up like her beloved Nation. She was too late...

"Lady Furina, Fontaine was saved, you and Lady Focalors granted me the ability to save Fontaine," Neuvillette informs Furina. She sends him a small nod in turn, hiding the relief she felt at his words.

She loved her mother, but she wasn't stupid enough to try to go to the Underworld and do an Orpheus.

All she can do is cry. Like she always did for 500 years.

Though she supposed this time, instead of hiding it all and suffering by herself. It feels as if she was being comforted by the waves that wash ashore to crash to her shoes. Not caring that her clothes, shoes and socks were getting wet.

"We got her back in the end?" LO.Grover offers up.

When Furina opened her eyes, she was laid down on a patted down sleeping bag and covered by a blanket that was not hers. She blinked a few times and looked at the surrounding area. A messy area, some sleeping bags piled in a corner, and filled with kids talking to one another.
