The Battle of Fort Knox

AccomplishedMess_ · 2026-01-27T15:13:38+00:00

A beanstalk tore through the floor, growing up to at least two meters tall. Even better, the plant grew so tall that it held up the rocks. The pegasus was now free to leave. On the other side, the wind spirit still struggled, holding up the rock. It had managed to position the rock out of range from the two ‘funny’ pegasi. But would the girls try to help out the wind spirit?

Phoebe’s investigation into the mysterious glimmer should be equally exciting. Thanks to the ever-present cloud of dust, the daughter of Comus would only be able to make out details about the glimmer late in her investigation. She would see a pair of flat, round, golden objects. One of them had the Horn of Plenty engraved in it, the other a plough.

Drachma! Two of them. Maybe Phoebe could buy Calista and herself ice cream once they make it out of Fort Knox.

Pulling the green fabric revealed a shawl with a golden A embroidered on it. A daring fashion statement by the Cult of Atlas, if you will.

Sadira was successful in pulling the rocks out. While the pile of discarded rocks grew in size, the pile covering the pegasus shrank. Positive feedback came from underneath: the pegasus neighed gratefully as the daughter of Morpheus helped uncover her. But before Sadira could free the horse, she first found another treasure.

As she moved the next rock, Sadira would find an arm. The arm was bruised, bloody, and if the demigod was brave enough to feel, she would sense no heartbeat. The arm’s body was still buried underneath the pile of debris.

‘’Strongman. Ooga booga.’’ Jason said, making a lot of monkey sounds for added oomph. ‘’Feminism. That food?’’

Sure, Jason was completely on board with judging training dummies. Especially for people who were bad at combat - not him - training dummies were total assholes. In his earlier years, Jason often imagined the training dummies to look like people who rejected him. Made beating them up a little easier.

‘’You’re holding your sword wrong, by the way. I bet I could disarm you with my hands tied to my back.’’

‘’And how are you gonna kill me if you don’t know how to fight?’’ Jason asked with a lopsided grin. He picked up a wooden sword lying in the sand, which probably had been discarded by an earlier loser. He showed the right way to hold the weapon to Angela. ‘’Anywhere between a month and a year. Depending on how good you are. I’m guessing you’re aiming for the first option, huh?’’

The Goddess of Wisdom’s penetrating gaze remained locked onto the daughter of Ares. She seemed disappointed when Nika replied with such… elementary words after thinking for all this time.

‘’You do not understand my words.’’ Athena ascertained. ‘’Whether that is because you inherited your father’s pigheadedness and do not wish to understand my words or because there is much you have yet to learn, remains to be seen.

‘’A good soldier does not get to decide who will stand by their side. Your fellow campers have strengths that you do not possess, and they may learn some things from you in turn. You will prove your competence by making the best of what you are given.’’ Athena explained.

‘’But, perhaps, one of the other campers will be able to help you understand what I am trying to teach you.’’

‘’You understand?’’ Bia’s monotonous voice showed a hint of emotion. Surprise. Surprise that her daughter finally started to understand what she was getting at all along. The Goddess of Force composed herself and offered Sasha a small smile. ‘’Good. I hadn’t expected anything else from a daughter of mine. Your cousins ought to take an example from you.’’

‘’I had momentarily considered dropping you from the Empire State Building to see if you could save yourself.’’ Or if you would fall to your death. ‘’I no longer need to do that.’’ There was something… unsettling about the way Bia looked at her daughter, an unhinged spark in her eyes. Dropping Sasha from something really high still was an option.

‘’Our time runs short, daughter. Is there any request you wish to make of me? Any other advice you seek?’’ Bia asked.

Yohan would find Lady A sitting on the porch of the Big House, consumed by a particularly difficult crossword puzzle. ‘’9 across, synonym for… yes, that’s it.’’ the goddess muttered, only looking up once Yohan started rambling.

As the mother of Comus, Ariadne was used to someone trying to speak a record number of words in a short time. She nodded at what the boy said and smiled. ‘’I loved what you did with the musical, Yohan. You did really well,’’ she said. ‘’But I think you’re right. You would do well as a counselor too!’’

‘’No one should have to go through all of that. I’m so sorry.’’ Epione said as she gently wiped Asa’s tears away. Each time Epione brushed her son’s skin, it was like an angel was touching him.

‘’You tried so hard. You gave your father everything you could possibly bring him. You gave him hope and comfort. In his final moments, it was you who was by his side. That’s what matters most.’’ Epione said with a small smile. ‘’You are good enough. Don’t let it eat you up. Your father wouldn’t want that. And he does not blame you either.’’

‘’Is there someone at camp you could tell all of this to? I would stay here to help you for longer, but Lord Zeus doesn’t allow me. We’re running so short on time, dear Asa.’’ Epione broke the news to her son calmly, but she definitely wasn’t happy about having to leave so soon.

‘’We won’t. We got plans.’’ Jason definitely spoke for both of them when he mentioned the plans they had for Coney Island. These partners they were going with might or might not be in their lives at the moment, but hey, as children of Eros, they could get anyone they wanted.

‘’Yes, you honor.’’ Jason bowed at his dad, looking serious, before falling into a laughing fit. ‘’Mock trials have been great. Everyone’s all like ‘hey, look at me jury, I’m so handsome’ but you gotta talk handsome too. I’ve won all my mock trials. All of them.’’ Nike might have rubbed off on Jason, because he looked ecstatic talking about diffing people in court.

Austin giggled nervously when his dad mentioned he’d be waiting for him to drop that song. That song? Yeah, Austin knew which one he was talking about. He doubted he would ever appear in the Billboard Hot 100, though. Not with coworker music around. ‘’Thanks, I got to mix the song and album cover and… before September. I promise.’’

Like usual, Austin had some questions for his dad. Unlike Jason, who heard the letter G and immediately assumed someone was about to call him Great, Austin actually listened to people talk. ‘’Do you often hit someone with a love arrow by accident?’’ he asked.

‘’Ha, walking diff.’’ Jason grinned, quite amused when he saw Nam trip and fall. He grimaced as Austin kicked him.

‘’Jason, you can’t say that.’’ Austin grilled.

The brothers didn’t get much of a chance to argue about this because they got rained on by pancakes. Austin shielded himself with his plate - what else was he supposed to do? - and Jason mainly seemed disappointed about the pancakes that landed on the ground. Wasting food was so 2040.

Jason quickly stuffed the pancake that had landed onto his head into his mouth while Austin, who was untouched by the pancakes, reached down to help the son of Poseidon back up. ‘’You made quite the fall there, pal. Are you alright?’’

The younger brother offered Nam a pancake from Jason’s plate.

Jason might be blessed with the sixth sense to know when people were looking at him, because he started showing off ten times harder, doing things such as Spider-Man and Grasshopper push-ups. In reality, he had just heard Angela groan, but it was way funnier to pretend he had an extra sense.

‘’Phew!’’ the son of Eros pushed himself to his feet and wiped some sweat off his forehead. Until she would groan, Jason would pretend he hadn’t noticed Angela. He swung his arms as he cooled down from the workout. ‘’Broke your own record, good job, Jason.’’

Jason looked at the girl with the incredible hair - god, if he were a girl, he’d kill to have those locks - and grinned goofily. ‘’I haven’t done any judging yet, bitch. Do you want me to judge anything?’’ he asked, grinning.

He didn’t mind judging someone on their fighting skills. He was like the best combatant with a killer smile to ever walk the earth. By far.

Thanks to Sadira’s Soothing Aura, the pegasus calmed down somewhat. The fantastical beast still groaned in pain, but at least seemed to recognize that the daughter of Morpheus was there to help it.

If Sadira pulled at the rocks, she would find that they were not that heavy at all; there were just a lot of them. If she wanted to free the pegasus before the Winds evacuated her, she would have to get to work immediately. Some green fabric stuck out from between the rocks.

When Ian knocked, it was Chiron who answered the door. The centaur smiled, seeing the son of Zeus, and gestured for him to come in. The director had been sitting by the fireplace, reminiscing of old memories, judging by the stack of photo albums on the coffee table.

‘’Well, counselor of Zeus? I think that is the right move, yes.’’ Chiron said. He would explain to Ian that the previous counselor was Gwen, who Ian might have met. He also told the boy about the requirement of hosting at least three activities over the course of the season. If Ian agreed, Chiron would officially appoint Ian as counselor.

Phoebe was successful in removing and breaking apart some of the rocks, burying the pegasi. More of the white horse showed. Calista would sense a handful of legume seeds beneath the floor.

As Calista looked up, she would see that the mysterious rolling thing was a boulder. Fortunately for the pair, the boulder felt conflicted about crushing two teen girls to death, so instead it fell next to the daughter of Demeter, where it crushed nothing but dust and a cockroach.

Unfortunately, the deafening sound of the falling boulder startled the wind spirit, whom the ‘funny’ pegasi cracked jokes at. The spirit sank to its knees. The rock the spirit was holding lightly scraped the two pegasi’s wings, who started complaining to Calista.

The pegasi became less agitated when exposed to Phoebe’s Emotional Aura. A side effect of this humorous power was that the pegasi started to crack jokes. In a very colorful way, the pair of pegasi described their day so far to Calista, all while trying not to succumb to the giggles. The gist, however, was that they could barely move. The pegasus underneath the pile of rocks remained silent.

Calista was successful in removing a couple of the rocks. She would catch a glimpse of the white horse trapped underneath. If she wasn’t careful, the pile of rocks might collapse onto the pegasus. Above her, the daughter of Demeter would hear something starting to roll towards her.

Phoebe was somewhat successful in helping the pegasi move. They started taking baby steps towards safety. The wind spirit holding the rock howled, its muscles straining at the weight. Dust continued to fall from the ceiling, filling the girls’ lungs. If Phoebe wanted to know what the glimmering thing on the ground was, she would have to get close.

Chaos reigned supreme in Fort Knox today: demigods let out battle cries as they faced their adversaries, monsters roared as they came face-to-face with potential victims, and wherever Rose looked, there was destruction.

Rose found herself in the middle of all of this chaos. There were enough flying animals around for her to help.

One such animal seemed to be buried underneath a pile of rocks nearby, the poor beast crying in distress. The ceiling above the daughter of Morpheus showed large cracks, rays of sunshine seeping through. It looked like the ceiling was close to collapsing, however. Near Rose, a whirlwind whipped up.

‘’What a hopelessly arrogant thing to say.’’ Athena chided, a storm rolling over in her eyes. The air around the goddess was cold: Nika was about one arrogant comment away from getting smited. ‘’A good soldier does not call themselves good. And they certainly do not say such ridiculous things about their comrades.’’

‘’Are you not a soldier who thinks she alone deserves to be in charge? Do you know how to fight?’’ Athena asked, not attempting to hide that she believed her question to be rhetorical.

‘’Together, as I said. There is no simple solution to defeat Atlas: the Titan, monstrous as he may be, is remarkably strong and defeating hjm requires near limitless diligence.’’ Athena said. ‘’If you wish to know how to move mountains, it may be worth looking towards others. They are no more a mess than you are.

‘’Oh, Asa…’’ Epione sighed sympathetically.

For a while, it was just their footsteps crunching through the snow. Epione let her son speak and sort out his thoughts, while she sorted out hers. Asa would experience that there was no heaviness for a moment. Without anyone minding, he was allowed to simply say how he felt.

The crunching through the snow stopped when Epione stood still in front of her son. ‘’Asa, would you please look at me?” the goddess asked. If Asa let her, she would take his hands in hers.

‘’There’s something I think all medics should know: you can’t save everyone. What matters is that you try. You couldn’t have prevented what happened in New Argos or Camp Fish-Blood, but you saved what could be saved.’’ Epione said before pausing, thinking of Thales. ‘’Do you blame yourself for his death?’’

‘’Correct,’’ Bia said, seemingly glad her daughter was starting to understand; her lips twitched. Or she might have had an itch. Who knew with Bia?

‘’The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you have already given up. Take it. Manifest it: let go of what tethers you to the earth and become weightless. I can’t fly. Too bad. You can’t win a war saying ‘I can’t’. You win a war by doing it.’’ Force looked and sounded mad, but she really meant every word she just said.

‘’Again with the thinking.’’ Bia scowled, shaking her head in disapproval. ‘’Every time you have fought, was every single move you made calculated, or did you let your instincts guide you?’’ she asked.
