Alright, before I figure out how my character enters the scene, I have a quick question.

I know you guys are walking to a train, but are you in a city, or are you in the middle of the woods, or what?

Alright. Thanks.

I'm just gonna-

Elsie was really lost. She mourned the loss of the jeep she'd crashed earlier that day, as she wandered the random forest aimlessly. She was starting to get really frustrated, and so she screamed at the trees.

Unfortunately, this made it easier for the monster that had her scent to find her.

Do I know what monster is following her? Absolutely not.

Is this something that would get her to follow the group like a lost duckling? Most definitely.

Elsie felt eyes on her, and froze. "Aw nah, I'm not doing this. I've watched too many horror movies." She muttered. She turned around and saw the monster. She let out a yelp. "THE HECK ARE YOU?!?!"

It's a cyclops now.

She spun and saw a kid. "YES!" She said, panicking. She screamed, and barely dodged as the cyclops attacked. "AHHHHHHHHHH!" She pulled out her pocket knife, and tried to stab it's hand.

It, being a normal pocket knife, did absolutely nothing.

roy sighed and picked up his celestial bronze spear as it cracked with electricity. he threw it at the cyclops and watched as a shock of lightning spread out across the cyclops.

Ok! Goodnight!

Elsie gaped in awe. "Woah." She whispered, before shaking herself out of it, and running towards the guy with the spear. And, now that she was paying attention, his group.

Now that Harold thought about it, he did hear a train. "I hope we're not too late to get on" he said to literally nobody.

Upon noticing the massive monster, Jenny drew Sword and took aim. She didn’t have the ability to do anything more than walk, so the cyclops would likely just squish her immediately if she got too close. She took a deep breath, then threw her knife at the monster.

Unfortunately, the act of moving her arm this way sent a shock of agony through her side. She grunted in pain, and her dagger didn’t strike its intended target, the monster’s eye. Instead, it sailed downwards and embedded itself in its foot. It let out a bellow of pain, now becoming enraged. That would probably slow it down some, at least.

Elsie ran past spear guy. She watched as a dagger flew towards the monster. "What? Where'd you guys get these things? How do I get one?" She asked, before slipping on a tree root.

Jenny hobbled over to the girl and held out a hand to help her up. She needed to be standing in case the cyclops tried to swipe at her. She decided to answer her question. If she could see the monster, then that meant she probably was a demigod. One who perhaps hadn’t yet realized that, based on her general lack of knowledge about celestial bronze weapons.

”My parents gave it to me. They are rare, but back at camp Halfblood, where we come from, there’s an armory of them. Your weapon isn’t made of the same material as ours, so it can’t damage the cyclops. Please stay back so it doesn’t hurt you.”

Elsie took her hand, and got up. She listened, before taking a second to process. "Um. Ok. I... I'll just go sit over there." She said, sounding shaken.

Jenny sadly glanced at Sword stuck in the Cyclops’s foot like a massive splinter, the followed the girl. She stood in front of her in a ready stance. Maybe she could retrieve her dagger if the monster got close enough. The girl needed someone to protect her, anyways.

”What’s your name? I’m Jenny. Also, please stay on your feet.”

Best to try and help keep the new person from panicking.

"I'm Elsie. It's nice to meet you. It would be nicer if we weren't in a situation with a high chance of death, but this is fine too. Also, I apologize for making you guys have to deal with this. You all probably think I'm a pest because of this. And... Oh. I'm rambling. Sorry. If you want me to shut up just tell me." She said anxiously. She was obviously trying not to panic.

“It’s ok. If the cyclops was already in the area, then it would’ve just eventually been drawn to our group instead.”

Jenny awkwardly tried to pat Elsie’s shoulder without looking at her, still focused on the monster in front. She paused for a moment to try and locate the cyclops’s awakeness, wondering if it being a humanoid would make it easier to put to sleep. It didn’t take long to find what could best be described as a raging inferno. It felt like getting mentally close to it would burn her, so her changes of extinguishing it were essentially zero.

”How much do you know about what you are?”

“So you know about the Greek myths and stuff, right? They’re real. Since you can see that monster, I’m assuming you’re a demigod, which means one of your parents is a Greek god. Everyone else in this group is also a demigod.”

Jenny adjusted her stance so that she was half facing Elsie, half facing the cyclops.

”Monsters can smell demigods and don’t normally like them. This cyclops probably just caught your scent and decided to attack.”

"But... Why haven't I been attacked before? I've been on my own for about a week, and this" she gestured wildly at the cyclops "is the first time anyone or anything has tried murdering me." She seemed genuinely confused. "Also, it would be my mom. I've never met her before. How do I figure out who she is?"

“Once we get old enough, we start to attract more monsters. And I’m not sure about your mom. Normally your godly parent will claim you, but sometimes that doesn’t happen and people don’t figure out who their parent is. We can try and guess, though.”

Jenny looked Elsie up and down.

”Do you have any magical powers? I’ve got stuff like necromancy, for example, since my dad is Hades.”

Hopefully she didn’t know enough about Hades yet to hate Jenny.

Elsie gaped. "You can raise people from the dead?!?!" She let out a gasp. "Do you have a zombie army? That would be so cool." She paused. "Wait. Right. Powers. Um..." She zoned out, eyes squinting. "I... Can see in the dark really well? Does that count? I actually see in the dark better than I do the light. I wear sunglasses in the night time, cuz otherwise it's really overwhelming."

Quote

Honestly, considering the fact that Hades is honestly like, the MOST SANE Greek god, it's sad that he has such a bad reputation.

“I can’t raise people right now, but maybe someday.”

Jenny thought for a moment. Elsie could see in the dark. That was associated with night, and her godly parent was female.

”Maybe your mom is Nyx? She is the goddess of the night. That’s related to darkness and stuff.”

He’s definitely more stable than the others gods a lot

"Maybe. I dunno. You said I could be claimed? How do I go about making that happen?" She asked, suddenly sounding determined.

“If you can get your parent’s attention by doing something impressive, they might claim you. That normally happens back at camp Halfblood, though. It’s where demigods tend to live once they need to go some place safe. We can’t take you there right now, unfortunately. We’re on a quest and currently traveling away from it.”

Jenny paused. Perhaps she was giving away too much information to a stranger. She should probably steer the subject away from the quest.

”I’ll have to find a dead bug so I can show you some necromancy.”
