Astrid Strider Daughter of Apollo

Um... Who the heck are they?

   Soon enough, the storm died out just like we hoped. We were all soaked but had eventually found a small cave to huddle into. "Too bad Zeus doesn't have pity..." Dakota grumbled. I laid my head on sleeping Nico's shoulder and said, "We'll all make it..." I turned to Tobias suddenly realizing I needed to ask him where we all were, "Tobias." I said shaking him awake. "What, Astrid." He yawned stretching. "Do you know where we are?" I asked cracking my knuckles. He looked outside. "Somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, I think..."

I nodded and said sarcastically, "Fantastic." Then I noticed something. "Wait... What is that...?" I asked pointing to two figures in the distance, down the beach. There were two humanoid figures down the beach. Looking closer, I could make out what it is. It was a guy and a girl. From the looks of it, they were about fifteen or fourteen, and they were wearing togas. They were heading right towards us. "Should we take cover?" I asked. Tobias shook his head. He seemed to be in a trance and drooling over the girl. I elbowed his ribs, "Snap out of it!" He jumped and looked at me.

Before we could do anything they stood before us. "Hello." The dark brunette guy greeted. He had a dazzling smile and deep silver eyes. I was suspicious but he was very attractive. I blinked quickly. I wasn't going to allow myself to be tricked. "Who are you all?" The red haired girl with the same silver eyes asked politely. "Who are you?" I asked standing up from Nico's grasp. She looked at Nico with interest and said, "I am Uloik." The dark hair guy said, "I am Elvoir. Now, who are you all?"

I looked back at Dakota and he shrugged. He didn't seem to be being tricked by their attractiveness or trance. "I am Astrid. This is my brother Tobias, my friend Dakota over there," I pointed to where Dakota sat," That's my sister Asha and her boyfriend Leo, and that's my boyfriend Nico." I had made sure to get the words through the girl and boy's head. They just nodded and smiled attractively.

I looked behind me and noticed that the others have woken up. "Who are they?" Asha squeaked. Uloik and Elvoir..." I said eyeing Uloik. She seemed to take a liking to all the boys. Nico stood up and gripped the handle of his sword, "What do they want?" He whispered to me. Good question... "Can we help you?" I asked pulling my bow over my shoulder. Elvoir smiled, "The question is, can we help you? We saw you all fly down in the storm and wanted to help. We have food, drinks, books, and much more." Uloik said.

This place reminded me of Circe's island. I looked at the others and they seemed to want to go though we were all wary. We lost our packs in the storm and all we had was medicine and dramachas...

"Okay, let go..." I said. The smiled. "Excellent..."
