The meeting
The group is walking when Albert suddenly stopped. "..I thought I-" he says but doesn't finish. "What? Spit it out!" Kai snapped. "..shhh." He warns, drawing his sword. Everyone is on edge and drew a weapon as well.
Faint rustling and talking, likely about 50 feet away. "..whatever it is, it's approaching us." Lukey said. "..that can not be a good sign.." Elaina grumbled. The noises were now about 35 feet away. "Maybe we should just keep going." Rosalie said.
"That'll be best. Let's hurry." Albert agrees. The group hurried along. Somehow, it seemed to be 15 feet away now. They look around. The murmurs were getting louder. "I'm sure we could outnumber whatever it is-" Ally tried to reassure the group, not sounding like even she believed it.
It was now seven feet away and in view. Hard to view what or who or how many. All Albert could tell is that it could be a threat and it would be better to strike first. He ran forward. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DUMBASS?-" Kai shouted.
Albert suddenly was frozen in place. "..H-huh..?" Albert was confused. He tried to move. His feet were sunken in a sudden dirt mount that surrounded his feet. Two people walked over, one holding some sort of wand. "Who are you?!" Albert demands. "Well, odd man that tried to fucking attack us for no reason, I'm Arielle and this is-" The one holding the wand spoke but was interrupted by Nikolai running over, followed by the group.
"Indah!" Nikolai smiled. The other person, brownish hair and a less than harmful demeanor smiled back. "Nik? Rose? Lukey? Elaina? Oh thank the gods you all are alive." She said. "You know them? The person holding the wand asked. "Yes. That's Nikolai, a son of Dionysus. Rosalie, daughter of Athena, and both Elaina and Lukey are children of Hermes. I don't know the other three they are with though." Indah introduced.
"Hm. I'm Arielle. Path of Geb. Nice to see you all I suppose. Indah's been rambling about a prophecy." She nods and released Albert. "..so.. you're not bringing harm?" Albert said, still untrusting. "Not useless you're going to swing that sword around aimlessly and accidentally get one of us injured." Arielle rolled her eyes.
"Did you say 'prophecy'..?" Ally asked. "Yeah. Hold on." Indah pulled out a sort of paper and explained things about a prophecy. "..oh." Rosalie contemplates about it. "Indah.. oh and since these three don't know, I'm Indah, Daughter of Demeter." She said.
"Ally's actually also a Greek demigod. Hephaestus." Rosalie comments. "Ooh. Cool. What about those two though. Are they Egyptian or some thing?" Indah gasps. "No no. Albert's Roman and Kai is Norse. Bellona and Loki." Ally explained.
"Okay okay glad we're done with that. Can we please discuss the prophecy now?!" Arielle asked.
