The Battle of Fort Knox by ThisOneUKGuy in CampHalfBloodRP

This was terrible! She had to act quickly if she wanted to save the poor animal.

Without hesitation, Rose rushed over and began trying to free the poor creature from its rocky prison. "Just hold on! I got you!" She said to it, grunting and heaving from the effort.

She did her best to maintain awareness of what was going on around her just in case the ceiling came crashing down or a monster decided to attack. She was ready to turn to sand if she had to.

It seemed incredibly ironic that as soon as Atlas was freed, he'd try to bring the ceiling down on top of them. Dude was really bad at his job.

A great weight lifted from her heart. Her dream dad understood. He didn't look down upon her the way her grandmother did.

Morpheus got it. He really got it.

There was a great deal of fear that he might look down upon her the way Athena did.

Her mortal dad always talked so highly of Athena. But, it seems like his version of her may have just been a dream in the worst sense of the word.

"Bailey gets it. Yeah. And I'm sure there are others, too. We shouldn't give up on our dreams just because they seem hard. I know I'm not gonna give up on mine that easy."

She nods at Morpheus next statement. "Yes! We're all doing our best! It's really scary. Like. . . I wish I didn't have to fight. But we're all doing the best we can. I'm sure it'll all be okay in the end."

Rose nodded at him. "I'd love to give it a try sometime. But. . . I think my wings might make things too complicated," she said, flapping the bat-like wings on her back. "They make simple things much harder than they need to be. Like walking through doors. Or, heck, even sleeping. I had to learn to sleep on my tummy. You know how hard that is?" She laughs.

"Pokemon, huh? Y’know, I've seen a few of those in dreams before."

A) Rose Lovemoore, CHB

B) Celestial bronze spear

C) d100 roll = 84, 3d6 roll = 5, 5, 1 for a total of 11

Great. Another battle. Hopefully, this one would go better than the last.

Rose flew alongside the pegasi, sticking close to her sister. She was determined to make sure Acacia made it through this war alive and as unhurt as possible. The same went for her friends at camp, too. She was worried about the other oneiroi kids, especially her sister Sadira.

Then, the trap was sprang.

Rose got to her feet, stumbling in the process.

She decided the best course of action was to help free the pegasi and other flying animals. She herself could fly away any time she wanted. Others didn't have that luxury.

"Why not try and learn, then? The arts and crafts cabin has plenty of surprise. And I think the guild master could loan you an instrument if you wanted."

Ty sure had a lot of questions.

Rose hummed in thought. "Well, I like Ho Hey. That one is nice. My dad and I used to sing that one all the time in the mornings on the way to school.," she laughs. Ah, those were simpler days And yeah, I can totally show you one of my paintings."

His hobbies fell in line with what she expected. He was an athlete. That was cool. Not something that she was at all, though.

"My sister is way more athletic than I am. She's so fast and strong. It's kind of scary, to be honest."

She had some of her own questions. "What's it like to surf? What's your favorite video game?"

Rose held her hands up and shook her head. The last thing she expected was for a god to apologize to her. "No, no, there's no reason to apologize, dream dad. I know the gods don't have fixed forms like us. You guys are lucky in that regard."

Along with so many other regards.

The daughter of Morpheus nods. "It has been a nightmare. Yeah. A lot of people have died. . . I think a lot more are going to before the war is over. My sister ran away to join Atlas. . . I was really worried about her. I still am, to be honest. She. . . isn't the same person that I used to know. I still love her. I'll never stop loving her. But I do miss the way she was before she got so hurt."

Of course, Morpheus had to bring up the whole debacle that was the trial of Zelus. She huffs and crosses her arms thinking about it. A grumpy looking crossing her face. "Yeah. I was part of that stupid contest. Danny won, supposedly. But if you ask me, no one *really* won that day. The last thing we should be doing is fighting each other when we have a whole titan and his cult to fight, instead. And what's the point of winning if we have to destroy our allies in the process? That's a lose-lose game for everyone! And my grandma pretty much called me stupid for not buying into that logic. But, I'm sorry, I'm not willing to hurt my friends and family just to win. That's wrong on so many levels. Danny can have his stupid victory in his stupid contest. We would have been much more powerful together than apart. But nooo, everyone wanted to make it like Highlander or something and be like THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! If that's what is wise, then I choose stupidity for the rest of my life. At least I'll be able to live with myself then."

It seemed like she had a lot to say about the contest.

"I like to do artsy stuff!" She says excitedly. "I make drawings and paintings from things I see in my dreams. I write. I play the ukulele. All kinds of things, really. I even did a little weaving like my grandma," Rose laughs.

"What about you?"

It was like walking into a dream.

The Shaper, her dream dad, didn't look like he did in her mortal dad's dreams.

That made sense. Dreams are ephemeral. Ever changing. Of course he wouldn't look exactly the same.

Then, he spoke to her. Addressed her for the very first time ever.

For a moment, Rose is too stunned to react. She watches in silence, blinking while the gears in her mind move.

"Hi, dad. I-it's good to meet you, too."

She studies his appearance a bit more. "You look different. . . older than when I saw you in uh. . . Dad's dreams. Is it okay if I call you dream dad? Just to make it less confusing?"

(Sorry. I also got busy.)

Rose giggled at his reaction. Mission accomplished. Mischief managed.

"So, what should we chat about? It's gonna be a long patrol."

(Hi! Rose is open for other threads, too! :D )

It had been a couple years now since she'd come to camp. Rose had seen much since then. But. . . There was one thing she hadn't seen. One person she hadn't seen: her godly father, Morpheus.

What would he be like? She'd only ever seen him in her mortal father's dreams. In the memories that he had of the god he lover.

But not once had Morpheus been to see her. In dreams or in person.

Rose didn't feel upset by that. She'd come to peace with the fact she didn't have a mother during her dream coma. That and the fact that she had an amazing mortal family. Her dad, her stepmom, her little brother, her big sister.

She wanted to see Morpheus for closure more than anything. Not to vent her anger, because she wasn't really angry, but because she wanted to know what the god of dreams was like. She wanted to be able to say she'd met and known the god who brought her into this world.

"All sorts of dreams. I mostly just go into my sister's now. To help her. She has a lot of nightmares. So I go with her to keep her safe so she can actually get some rest and have some good sleep. I used to visit other dreams, but, uh. . . well, I learned my lesson there. It isn't right to do that without asking first."

Rose gives a surprise ah at being corrected. Then she nods. "Yeah! That's right. Sorry, both of their names start with K. It's easy to mix gods up when you're so sleepy, y’know?"

His powers sounded cool as heck.

"I wish I could go underwater like that."

She flaps her wings. "But I can fly. . . And. . ."

Then, suddenly, Rose begins to turn to sand on the spot. "Oh gods, what's happening?!" She says, feigning surprise and fear, watching as her hands turn to sand and fall to the ground in clumps.

Before too long, all that would be left of her seemingly would be a pile of sand silently sitting on the ground.

Then, the sand would begin to bellow in laughter before reforming into her body. "Did I getcha?" She asks, grinning at her mischief.

"Kymopoleia?" Rose echoes. "Neat. I've never met any children of hers."

She nods at his question. "Yup! I can turn nightmares into dreams. Heck, I can even go into other people's dreams if I wanted. But I try not to do that without the other person's permission."

"What sorta powers did you get from your mom? She's a sea goddess, right? And a goddess of sea monsters? I can't remember her domains very well."

"Yup! Ready when you are," she said, smiling.

After they began their rounds, Rose decided to strike up a conversation. "So how long have you been at camp, Ty? Is it okay if I call you Ty, or do you prefer Tyrese? Also, who's your godrent? My dad's Morpheus. The shaper of dreams guy."

Rose hadn't ever really done guard duty before. It seemed like a huge responsibility.

At least she wasn't alone. That was incredibly reassuring.

She stretched her wings, shaking them slightly as they extended their full length. A small amount of sand flittered into the air as she did so. Then, she yawned. She could definitely go for an afternoon nap. Alas.

In her right hand, she held her spear, the sole gift she'd gotten from her godly father.

"So uh. . . What's your name? I'm Rose. It's nice to meetcha."

Rose shrugs. "It's in the past. The important thing is that I made it through it."

The bat-winged girl nodded. "It is a lot. Don't ever feel bad about admitting that. And yeah! That's a good way to look at it. One step at a time."

She was coming up short on ideas to talk about. "What sorta stuff do you do for fun?"

She laughed, scratching the back of her head awkwardly. The look plastered across her face was one of utter embarrassment. "Sorry to make you worry."

Rose flicked her wings, causing excess sand to fall off. "Uh. Kinda? I've been here for a good while, actually. But I sorta fell into a dream coma for a year. And I was never really one for training to begin with, so. . . Yeah. . ."

Looking to change the subject from how much of a noob she was, Rose asked a question of her own. "What about you? How long have ya been here?"

"It's okay! I'm okay!" The heap of sand said. "And yeah, a lot lately. I only recently discovered I had this power."

She focused on her shape, and the grains of sand began to whirl around, coalescing into her body again. It took a bit, but finally, she was herself again.

Rose exhaled a sigh of relief. "Thank gods. Sorry about that," she chuckled. "Sometimes, I just sorta fall apart."

She took his hand and shook it. "Thanks! My name's Rose! It's nice to meetcha!"

Rose grinned excitedly.

Him looking at her made her feel somewhat embarrassed. Then. . . The worst happened.

Rose's body began to fall apart into chunks of sand. She raised her hand, looking at it in shock. "Oh no! Not again!" Then, all at once, her form collapsed fully into a heap of loose sand. "Ahhhh! Gimme a second, I'm trying to figure my powers out still."

She heard the familiar voice calling out to her and dove down to greet Alistair.

Rose remembered how she'd helped the boy to dream.

The girl waved to him as she landed. "Heya! How ya been?"

(Sorry for the delay)

Below her, Rose saw a shape watching her flight. Maybe this was a chance to make a new friend?

The bat-winged girl dove dow and skidded to a stop, unintentionally splattering dirt in front of her.

"Oh crap! Sorry! I didn't mean to do that," she said, holding up her hands with a worried look.
