Started off on Sept. 22nd on a Rainy day when everyone was summoned to the Big House for an important announcement⌠The campers gathered amongst one another and talked with one another as they waited for the large announcement that was supposed to be made.
Finally after quite a lot of talking, Ajax Taylor, leader of the Camp arrived and made an announcement everyone was waiting for.
(Camp Half-Blood: Sirenâs Cry || Official Roleplay)
Ajax's Announcement
Ajax was up early that morning. It was raining heavily, and although Ajax had a fondness for storms they werenât the best for camp. The camp wasnât in the best state with everything going on, and every day the tension grew with the children of not only the Greek, but the Roman, Norse, and Egyptian as well. Supplies were tight, and the camp was struggling, but Ajax was doing everything he could to keep the camp running. The camp was still safer than out in the world for most of them, and they had to keep it that way. They just needed more supplies to keep going, which meant a hunt. Everyone was instructed to head to the Big House so Ajax could give the announcement. He watched as campers trickled inside from the rain before speaking up in front of them.
âHello everyone, it we have an issue on our hands. Our resources are dwindling and we have limited supplies left, some of you know what this meansâŚa hunt. For those of you who recently joined and have no idea what a hunt is, essentially youâll leave the borders of Camp Half Blood, head into the forest and hunt for animals, or forage for food. So, for that, as two of our best allies, the hunters of Diana and Artemis will be leading. Reina and Harmony. They will choose 4 other companions to aid them on their hunt and and bring back supplies.â
âNext thing, it is no secret that thereâs a lot going wrong in the world Right now⌠A few of you may know already, but weâve just gotten news that New York has been destroyed.â Iris Mirrors flicker on showing the scene:
New York was covered in thick, dark plume of smoke, gray and suffocating it wouldâve swallowed the screen if not for the 100/20 vision that Iris Mirrors came with. Citizens walks around, coughing, wearing masks, but still managing to their day to day work. Itâs quiet, silent, nothing. The change came quickly, New Yorkâs streets began to fracture and break apart, earthquakes rocking the entire city, spreading out farther, probably the entire state. Fireâs from nowhere began to spark as heavy, red, sandy winds blew in fueling the fires, the heat. Screams, it became uncontrollable, things turned to ash quickly. Citizens ran in every direction, the Iris Mirrors flipped to another side just in time to see a tidal wave, 100 feet high above New York speed towards the state. It slams into the coastline, ripping buildings and toppling infrastructures, the Iris Mirror cuts out, but not before they see a large shadow of a serpentâs tail flicking from the side. It cuts back to the city, where it is silent, but this time the silence is loud. No sign of anyone around as red sand blows throughout the city and eerie laugh fills the sound system, yet you could not describe the laughter. It was everything, yet nothing, together yet apart, insanity and sanity all rolled into one. It was pure chaos.
âIf it wasnât clear already, we have a war coming on our hands.â Ajax paused, âThere are some things that have to be done and if you could take a look at the task list on your way out youâll see some of the things that have to be looked into. So please do. Keep an eye out and stay on guard. Everyoneâs excused, but cabin leaders stay behind.â
Cabin Leaders then stay behind, but an event occurs affecting children of Hermes, Mercury, Loki, Set will suffer a deep sickness and weakness. A serpent comes and interacts with the campers, giving them a warning telling them unless they align with him theyâll suffer terrible things.

After Reinaâs confrontation of the snake, he tells them the following, clues found in this post: âBut you would know much about pledging loyalty to the wrong people donât you? I only promise to bring everlasting peace. What have your gods brought upon you and your parents. Monsters and petty wars fought by you to their amusement. Bloodshed and more, all in the name of Good and Evil. Fear not, even if you will not see the day. It will be no more. There will only be the Sea.â

Apollo afterwards with a conversation with Mercury, choses an oracle, Karan Lander to deliver the following prophecy
Apollo's Prophecy & Stuff
âCowardly weakness and bold stupidity, this camp had everything on all sides of the spectrum.â The god leans against his cacedeus, âHe however played a very dirty card, I always knew he was a jealous snake.â His shoesâs wings flutter rapidly.
âRelax my dear cousin, their demigods, it canât be too bad.â The golden-haired god claps his cousin on the back who stares at him with a disapproving frown.
âYouâre only saying that because itâs not your children-â
âAnyways, I have the perfect idea dear Mercury, fear not.â
âThere is much to fear, Eygpt and Norse has yet to agree to join with us.â
âPshh, who needs those losers.â
âHe is Eygptian.â
âSuch a worrywart-â
âDo you have your prophecy?â
âYes of c-â
âThen do it already.â Mercury yawns before stretching his arm, âJupiter is waiting Apollo, donât fail, you know the consequences cousin.â Mercury kicks his feet, the winged shoes flutter and lift off, speeding the god to the heavens.
âAlright my dear,â Apollo murmured, âShow me I did right by saving you from your lineageâs curse.â A light begin to fill the camp, sparkling, nearly blinding but not quite. The hisses of the serpent filled instead of itâs mocking and sardonic laughter as usual.
A frigid cold filled the Big House, a voice pooled in, â'Aight, bear with me children, havenât done this in a bit. I name Karan Kristo Lander as reciever of my patronage, the remaining living oracle of the Greek Pantheon, I lift your curse, and offer you the spirit of Delphi.â
Karanâs eyes widened as her eyes shifted from a warm brown to crystal, freezing blue, thoughts running a thousand miles in her head. The response came easily, âI accept the role and the patronage of Apollo, God of Oracles. I open my eyes to the future and embrace the past. I accept the spirit of Delphi, Voice of the Gods, Speaker of Riddles, Seer of Fate.â
âAnd so it beginsâ Apolloâs voice fades as an other takes hold, hissing as if 3 people were speaking at once.
âA Daughter of Trickery will take up her artillery
Meanwhile the Son of Harmony will finally feel misery
A Daughter of Magic will lose her heartâs desire
But together they all shall accquire
What they donât know they need but still will seek
Where those are named the kindest
They will find a man with blindness
Who will give them a clue
To cure to fix what has gotten the false askew
And they will return not with glory and honor
But with deathâs dishonor
For the war has only begun
And the 3 sisters cannot unspun
The fate of destiny which ties
Due to the wills of who liesâ
Afterwards, the group decides to send Arden, Bryan and Quintella on a quest (still ongoing) and they send them to Los Angeles. They got it wrong, however. Campers come to their senses as they realize fire is spreading on their food source as they rush to put it.
Afterwards, Due to the quick work of several campers, although too late and few in many, the camp has only lost 26.8% of itâs food source. The fire has been put out but a quarter of the fields is in a charred mess. Attempts to grow food using magic will not work currently.
Food Status: Small but enough to survive on for the next month. The meat locker has burned down completely. The only type of food is vegetarian food.

A little afterwards after all this, Harpies begin to aggressively hit themselves against the barrier attempting to bring it down. Artemis sends silver arrows which always hit their mark and bring down the harpies, however injure many of the campers. Many were in fatal condition however, with the help of the Hunters and Ajax Taylor they helped patch up the force field and barrier.
Afterwards there was a timeskip where the goddesses supplied them with food after their large battle, campers talked, healed, helped one another
Trial began where they interviewed campers for who could be the camper and start their execution
Empousas came and offered a deal, they would take someoneâs life and heal those who had been hurt due to the fact nobody took on NPC quests and tell them the name of a traitor.
Majority accepted it and Ebony was killed, Mabel was revealed to be a traitor. Now itâs time to choose her punishment & possible execution after they interrogate her.
Now campers can do what theyâd like except for NPC quests. Itâs free time and up to anyone what they would like to do.
Do you want to respond to Khnosu?
