I Am Wind (Will Solace)

Daddy Issues

It took us about an hour to reach the National Park, the whole time Will and I fought over control over the radio. And it turned out that Will had a pretty amazing singing voice which kind of irritated me that he was good at yet another thing that I wasn't.

Once Will parked the car in the Shenandoah parking lot it took us a while to wake Connor up, but when we did he was not his usually cheerful self.

"So how do we find her?" Will asked as I was looking past the gift shop into the beautiful park ahead.

"Why don't we ask around? See if anyone has seen a couple around," I said.

"Yes, cause I'm sure the park has only one couple in it." Connor remarked grumpily.

"Fine," I huffed. "Since they're both children of wind gods why don't we ask a park ranger where the windiest part of the park is."

"Can't you just hone in on the windiest part?" Connor retorted.

"I'm not a weather radar." I sassed, but as soon as I said that I had a weird sensation towards the southern part of the park. "Maybe I am." I said walking off towards the sensation.

The walk was super pleasant. Since it was late spring the air smelled of flowers, and the flowers that lined that path were so many different colors, it made me want to paint them, but I kept walking. However, my lovely walk kept getting disturbed by Connor sneezing. "I hate flowers." He sniffled. "And I hate allergies."

"This isn't going to be a covert mission if they hear us before we come." Will said getting a laugh from me.

"Can't I just go back to the car?" He asked sneezing three times.

"Yeah, that would probably be best." I said turning and watching him sulk back to the car.

So Will and I continued walking down the path, and I knew we were getting closer because the winds kept picking up and the flowers seemed to be getting prettier and bigger. Soon I heard the sounds of wind chimes.

Stepping into the garden area I stopped and saw two people sitting on a stone bench holding hands and the girl had her head on the guys shoulder. I couldn't really tell from behind, but they looked to be around 17, but I knew they were much older. The girl had bright blonde hair that was more white then yellow, and the boy had dirty blonde clean cut hair.

A warm breeze blew through the air and the smell of flowers filled the air. "Hello, I was wondering when my father would send someone for me." The girl said turning to look at us. Her features were flawless, and she had the warmest brown eyes.

"How did you know?" I asked taking the lead.

"He has always hated Zephyrus, so he was going hate me decision on me choosing to be with Karpos." She said. "But you must know, I am under no spell, I truly do love him."

"How am I suppose to believe that?" I asked just as the Karpos turned. He was just as beautiful has her, he was like a perfect Will.

She stood up and glided over to me as if she was floating on wind. "Look into my eyes daughter of Zeus, do I look like I'm under a spell?"

Looking into her perfect eyes, I saw pure intentions, however, I wasn't sure, so I looked to Will. "What do you think?" I asked.

"I believe her."

I sighed loudly, and I found a nearby bench and sat down, running my hand through my hair. "What is it dear demigod?" Karpos asked gliding over and kneeling next to me. "You seem... distressed."

"Notus told me that if I brought her home he would give me something that would help me on my quest. I need that favor." I said.

Kal, joined her boyfriends side. "My dear, you do not need my fathers help. Whatever he has offered, Karpos and I would gladly help you, as long as you don't bring me to my father, just go to where you planned to meet him, and tell him that I escaped, and left no trace."
