New camper!

[♫iSilk♫]

Zexion walked silently to the Big House, hoping a son of Apollo and Chiron would be there. He stopped and looked behind him to make sure Nikolaos was still with him and called to Chiron, "Sir, there's a new camper here. He's a son of Helios."

Chiron looked up from where he was reading his book. A new demigod? Helios? That was odd. He stood up and went outside. "Zexion? What do you mean, a new camper, son of Helios? Helios faded away..."

OOC: I'm going to add Axel in my next post, and yes, I know he's in another thread

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos appeared into view, long blonde hair stained with years of dirt. "That's what Zexion keeps telling me." Nikolaos replied softly. "My name is Nikolaos, son of Helios." He limped towards Chiron and stuck out his hand for a handshake. "Pleased to meet you."

[♫iSilk♫]

Chiron stepped down the steps {{XD}}, showing is horse body, and went to tkae Nikolaos's hand. "How old are you? And where are you from?" he asked, nodding. It had to be somewhere where time could stop and trick people.

Zexion nodded as well. "I found him by Zeus's Fist," he told the centaur, "I had to put him to sleep, he was so un-cooperative." He smirked slightly, thought it could hardly be seen. He sighed, however, and appeared rather down aftertaking a deep breath from the air, as if scenting something. "Aren't you lucky," he told the son of Helios, "You can meet Axel."

Axel was busy walking to the Big House in search of bandages for his hand and won't get there untill the next post.

[tanglenose]

After shaking Chiron's hand, Nikolaos leaned against a tree, taking some weight off his bad leg. "Well, up till about an hour ago, I was... Sixteen." He said, thinking. "But apperantly, I'm who knows how old. And I'm from Mykenae." Nikolaos scratched his arm and almost fell over. "Oops." He leaned heavily on his staff and it cracked, but stayed whole.

[♫iSilk♫]

Chiron nodded. "Interesting," he replied thoughtfully.

Axel ran up to the group, at about midnight, with his right hand completely on fire, though he couldn't feel it, and dripping blood. "Hey," he greeted them, stopping abruptly, noting the stranger.

Zexion didn't even turn to face the firy boy before saying his name. "Axel," he stated, obviously not exited to see, or, smell him.

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos looked at the newcomer, raising an eyebrow. "Bud, you know your on fire, right?" He asked, wondering if he should find a bucket of water. He slid his body down the tree so that he was sitting on the ground.

[♫iSilk♫]

Axel looked at his hand blankly. "Yeah," he replied, looking up again, "I'm also bleeding. Speaking of which, my hand hurts really bad, do you have any bandages or something? The fire helps close off the wounds, but it's still tender afterwords, and easily breakable..." Zexion sighed and threw a small roll of bandages at the taller, thin boy, which hit him in the head and he reached up with fast reflexes to catch them.

"Don't burn them," Zexion told him flatly, to which Axel's reply was to hold them in his left hand.

[tanglenose]

"Wow, I didn't think catching yourself in fire could actually help you." Nikolaos muttered. "I'm Nikolaos, son of Helios." He picked a leaf off the ground and twirled it inbetween his fingers.

[♫iSilk♫]

Axel looked oddly at him. "Well," he replied, "It's not like it hurts...." Then heard him introduce himself. "Nice to meet you!" he grinned his Chesire Cat grin, "Name's Axel, got it memorized? Son of Apollo."

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos scratched the back of his head with his staff. "Well, I'm still a little fuzzy on where I am, both on the map and timeline." He closed his eyes and tried to remember the last thing before entering the maze. "Lets see... I remember hunting - for dinner I think..." He rubbed his temples.

[♫iSilk♫]

"Do you remember where you were before?" Chiron asked, "You are currently in the year 2010, and at Camp Half Bloos, the camp for Demigods."

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos sighed deeply, trying to remember what the last date was. "Nope, sorry. I have no idea." He replied honestly. "I was in the maze for too long. Apperently, I could be thousands of years old! I don't even remember my last name, nevermind the year." It was sad, but true. He had only one name - Nikolaos. He buried his face in his hands and started to cry.

[♫iSilk♫]

Chiron nodded sympatheticly. "No need to be sorry," he replied before turining to Zexion, "You will be responsible for Nikolaos; make sure he get's settled, get's weapons, learns how to use them, etc."

Zexion looked up. He did not want to do this, but he didn't protest. The look in his one visible eye flashed anger and protest before returning back to their normal indifference.

"I suppose I could help wth that nasty cut you got there," Aexel replied, nodding towards the oy's injury on his leg, "But I have to go back to the arena first; I left my Chakrams there."

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos looked up from his hand as Chiron spoke. "T-thank you." He whimpered, looking at Zexion. For a moment, it looked like Zexion hated his very existance and Nikolaos felt two tons of guilt on his chest. He just comes wandering in and poor Zexion suddenly has to take care of him. "Umm... thank you, b-but that won't be nesassary." He stumbled, trying to sound like he could take care of himself.

[♫iSilk♫]

"Nah, it's good," Axel told Nikolaos, "Zexion won't mind; he's just sort of lazy."

Zexion almost seemed to growl at his friend. "I prefer to call it energy conservative," he told the new camper, turning away from Axel, "And it won't be a problem. Might as well go to the arena." He didn't hate him, as Nikolaos thought, but was rather unsocial, or would be, if it wern't for this camp, and Axel, and Demyx. He's been there for such a long time, the camp. He always wondered what would've happened to him if he wern't half-god. Probably end up in a mental hospital, he thought to himself, smiling inwardly, his face showing no emotion, perhaps for dillusions. He could create illusions, after all, though few actually knew that.

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos weakly smiled at Axel's words. It had been a while since he had engaged in conversation, except for the walls during his 'happy' moments. It would have been fine, but walls only talked about two
things - themselves and who has touched them. "Ok..." He mumbled, yawning.

[♫iSilk♫]

"Ready to go?" Axel asked, grinning his Chesire Cate grin, "The Arena's that way!" Before waiting for an answer, he pointed int he direction of the Arena, and started walking off.

"He'll wait there for us," Zexion sighed, "If he get's there first.

[tanglenose]

Nikolaos managed to push himself up from the ground and picked up his walking stick. "Ok, let's get going." He said, following the direction that Axel had gone.
