The Pit Portal chapter 1

Ao3 version

Next chapter

Stanford Pines blinked, his vision adjusting to the dim light filtering through grime-coated walls. He was sprawled in a pit of colorful plastic balls, the remnants of childhood laughter lingering like ghosts in the stale air. 

"What the world…?"

With a grunt, he pushed himself up, limbs heavy with disorientation. His mind was clouded, fragments of his conversation with the Oracle swirling like a storm in his head. As he climbed out of the pit, an unsettling sensation crept up his spine. 

Something was watching. 

A voice—disembodied and urgent—echoed in his mind:

"Go to the security room. Now."

Ford hesitated. Why should he listen to it?

But as he moved through the darkened space, he quickly realized he had no sense of direction. Every flicker of movement sent his nerves spiraling. Shadows stretched across the walls, distorted in ways that made his breath hitch. And then—he saw it. 

A bear like  robot thing.

It stood motionless, its glossy eyes locked onto him, analyzing him. Ford stiffened. It looks like it’s studying me… assessing me. The machine exuded an unnatural presence, like a predator sizing up its prey. His instincts screamed at him to move —to get away. 

With rising paranoia, he followed the voice’s instructions, weaving through unfamiliar corridors. His fear led him astray more than once, forcing him to backtrack, avoiding the lurking of the bear robot thing  just as the voice had warned. Every wrong turn made his pulse quicken. 

Then, at last—he found the door. 

The security room. 

Without a second thought, Ford rushed inside. The heavy metal door slammed shut behind him, locking him into the space. He steadied his breath, scanning the room—only to freeze. 

A man —or something resembling one—stood before him. 

He wore a bear mask, its surface worn and eerie. His eyes glowed red, piercing through the dimness like embers in the dark. 

Something about them stirred old memories in Ford’s mind—memories buried deep. But the feeling was different. 

Unfamiliar. 

"You really can't follow instructions properly."

The same voice that had led him here, now distorted—edged with something unreadable. 

Ford instinctively stepped back. 

"Hey, come on. Aren't you even going to thank me for helping you?"

The masked figure chuckled, his tone light—but that only made it more unnerving. 

“Are you the voice that guided me here? What exactly are you? Where am I, really? And what  are  those robots outside?” Ford asked carefully, his voice steady but edged with the kind of curiosity that had always gotten him into trouble. The figure before him didn’t  look  particularly threatening, but appearances rarely told the full story. Was this person some kind of anomaly? A supernatural being? Or just another normal creature of this dimension?

He still didn’t know which dimension he’d ended up in this time

“Whoa, hey! Slow down!” the figure waved a hand animatedly. “I’ll answer them one at a time—well, technically  not  me, I guess. The  owner  of this body might be more helpful for the outside stuff. I’ve kinda... been out of commission for a while. But yeah! I’m the one who got you here. Come sit, sit! I’ll take over while Mike’s out doing whatever Mike does.”

They reopened the door, and Ford could tell the power was fading fast—the mechanical hum behind the walls was sputtering like a dying generator. With a cautious glance, he moved to the chair next to the figure and sat, still tense, still unsure. The voice had  just  admitted to possessing someone else’s body, after all.

“Right! Introduction time!” the figure beamed—well, as much as someone in a bear mask  could  beam. “I’m Cassidy! And the owner of this body? That’s Michael—Mike, if you prefer. Welcome to Freddy’s! Oh—and I’m a girl, Mike’s a guy, but use whatever pronouns you want. We’re not picky.”

Ford blinked. Cassidy, then. The girl in the bear mask who seemed to be puppeting a man named Michael. Possession, maybe? A soul sharing a body?

“What  are  you?” Ford asked, leaning forward, curiosity overtaking any lingering apprehension. “Are you some kind of entity? Like... Bill Cipher, maybe? Why are you controlling that body?”

Cassidy tilted her head, as if chewing on the question.

“Bill? Don’t know him,” she said simply. “And honestly? I don’t know exactly what I am either. You can call me a ghost. A dead person. A wandering soul. Maybe even a vengeful spirit, depending on who you ask. I use Mike’s body to communicate because our souls are kind of... tangled up. Like conjoined roommates with shared rent.”

Ford’s mind spun with possibilities. He  had  encountered ghosts before—but not like this. Most weren’t self-aware. Most didn’t have full conversations. And none of them had ever openly discussed the mechanics of their possession so casually. Did Cassidy remember her past? Did she  choose  to remain like this?

“So you  are  a ghost,” Ford murmured, awe bleeding into his voice. “You’re definitely different from the others.”

Cassidy chuckled, swinging her legs beneath the chair.

"That's because Mike already helped me put myself back together," Cassidy said casually, as though it wasn’t a deeply cryptic statement. "Y’know—helped me remember my name. Not just him, actually. His brother too. He's here, but maybe you can’t see him. He can’t talk either. He’s right next to you."

They paused to gesture beside Ford before abruptly snapping their flashlight toward the hallway. A fox-shaped animatronic was charging toward the door.

“Hold up—”

Cassidy slammed the door button with practiced speed and exhaled sharply before turning their gaze back to Ford.

“Right now I’m helping Mike’s brother remember too,” they said, gesturing again to the space next to Ford as if someone invisible was really standing there. “It’s... Y'know hard. I’m not as smart as Mike. He managed to piece himself back together.”

Ford was quiet for a moment, absorbing that. Put himself back together. Not physically, he was sure. That had to be metaphorical—more about memory, identity. Awareness. Reclaiming the pieces of a fractured self.

Cassidy leaned on the console. “Those things really are like animals sometimes,” they muttered, motioning to the door the fox had just charged. “Mike can’t help them anymore. He’s busy—his brother’s memories, his own fears…”

Their voice trailed off, but Ford caught the weight behind those words. Clues—layered and riddled with implications.

Ford’s fingers itched for a notebook. If only he has his Journal  or anything to start documenting this. Cassidy’s phrasing was deliberately casual, but what she’d said was significant.

Mike put himself together. That could only mean one thing: Mike was dead—or dying.

Ford could smell death on him. A lingering rot just beneath the skin, hidden by the bear mask he wore like armor. Still functioning, still working the night shift.

Was Mike… zombie? Or something like that?

No. No, not quite. At least not in the traditional sense. But he definitely wasn’t fully alive, either. Cassidy was the one in control right now, and that only deepened the mystery.

He needed answers. He should probably ask about this place—where exactly was he? Maybe Cassidy could help him Too?

“Oh, right! I totally forgot—I don’t even know your name, old man!” Cassidy said with a grin, eyes still scanning the security monitors. “You should probably introduce yourself. Honestly, CC—you know, that’s what I call Mike’s brother—has been super curious about you. He’s always drifting near you.”

Cassidy was clearly busy, her movements efficient and practiced, but her curiosity was genuine.

“Uh… I’m Ford. Stanford Pines,” Ford replied, still adjusting to the surreal nature of the place. “To be honest, I’m not even sure how I got here. I think it had something to do with the ball pit. I traveling between dimensions, i am in different dimension before I wake up.... That’s what I really wanted to ask about—where am I, exactly? Is the ball pit some kind of portal?”

Cassidy stopped for a moment, drawing in a slow breath. “The ball pit, huh?”

She leaned back in her chair, thoughtful. “Mike and I have been investigating that thing for a while. We just assumed it was... filled with lingering memories. Agony. And The kind of  residue that can cause hallucinations or trap people in loops or time travel, something like that. But a portal?” She blinked, suddenly more serious. “I hadn’t thought of that. I should definitely tell Mike.”

Ford could tell she was genuinely worried, which only made him more unsettled. But at the same time, his curiosity flared. Memories and agony capable of affecting space-time? A portal forged from raw emotion? If that were true, it could be a revolutionary breakthrough—one he’d never considered before.

“I don’t know what year it is exactly,” Cassidy added, glancing at a dusty clock. “But I can tell you where we are—Hurricane, Utah. You might be able to find a calendar or something around here to figure out the date. Or better yet, just ask Mike. He knows the town and most of what goes on around here.”

She gave him a small smirk. “Especially since I’ve been, y’know… dead. Kind of Limit my knowledge about many thing"

Hurricane,utah

Isn't it about a 12 hour drive from Oregon?  

What does it mean he's back? In his dimension? But he don't really know what this freddys are. He had never heard of such things like this before. Was it because he was so focused on gravity falls that he forgot that there might be other places with anomalies? It was true that he had also thought that gravity falls attracted anomalies there.

" You say it's Freddy? Uh... can i ask you what freddy's is? "  Ford asked which made Cassidy's attention turn towards him. Before they look on the monitor again to look the animatronic.

“Oh, right,” they said with a shrug. “This place is—a pizzeria. A family restaurant, technically. The kind of Pizzeria that uses animatronics to keep kids entertained ? Attract some kids so that their parents can come here?. On the surface, it sounds fun, right?”

Ford nodded slowly. That much made sense. But there was something in Cassidy’s tone that set off quiet alarms in his mind.

“But this place?” Cassidy continued, eyes darkening beneath the mask. “It’s not good. Not safe. Not for kids. Some of them went missing here... back in the ’80s. And  then security guards—some of them never made it to the end of their shifts.you See the fox animatronics before?. That’s one of the  animatronics here.”

Ford’s breath hitched. “The missing children from the ’80s?… What happened to them?”

Cassidy didn’t hesitate. “They’re dead.”

Just like that. Matter-of-fact. No softness. No sugarcoating.

Ford stared at them. His pulse ticked upward, not from fear, but the sobering weight of the revelation.

They were dead.

Some kids dead....

Of course, they were dead. It was impossible for them to just disappear. They can't be just go back home and  no one notice them.Something must happened, something terrible. But had their bodies been found? Were they still missing?  Based on what Cassidy said they're dead, This means they have been confirmed dead. Then why is it called a missing child incident?

Cassidy seemed to sense the questions forming in Ford’s mind and, with a subtle shift in posture, decided to elaborate. “Do you know how long it took the police to find them?” Cassidy’s voice was low, almost playful, yet Ford could hear the weight behind it. “Do you know why?”

Ford turned to them, curiosity now fully evident in his eyes, his mind racing. Cassidy smirked at the reaction. “Because their killer stuffed them inside the animatronics. Nobody would've thought that—after all, the animatronics kept running as usual. There were some malfunctions here and there, but... yeah, they were eventually found. Too late, though.Even though they were missing not at the same time”

Children… murdered. Then their bodies being hidden inside machines that meant to entertain. Every kid see them, laughed at them, danced around them—never kmowing there's a corpse inside the animatronics.

“That… That’s…” he stammered, words catching in his throat, unable to finish the sentence.

“Crazy?” Cassidy said lightly. “Yeah. It’s the kind of thing that messes with your head. Might even make you forget it happened. Trauma’s funny like that.that also what happens to mike here,he is around when its happend.i think his brain cant take it and delete the memories automatically”

But despite their casual tone, Ford wasn’t fooled. He saw the shadow in their eyes, the faint tension in their shoulders. Cassidy had lived with this horror maybe far longer than he had. And no matter how many times they repeated the story, it still hurt.

Ford's mind really can imagine seeing someone die in front of his eyes. And seeing Mike now, he is quite young,

Is he still a child or at least a teenager when it's happens? It must be very traumatic that his brain finally chose to erase it.he know that what Cassidy explained is the simple way to explain. But he actually understand(Stanford know traumatic event can make you lost your memory.but Unfortunately 'F' chose to use memory gun that Ford already told him how dangerous it was. He was not angry at 'F',he know the reason. but Feeling the impact of the memory gun himself is also unpleasant. Especially if you don't know what happened and What you might forget.)

Cassidy seemed visibly displeased with the direction the conversation had taken. Still, Ford couldn't help himself.

"Are the animatronics haunted?" he asked quietly.

Cassidy let out a slow breath, their eyes never leaving the monitor.

"Yeah. The kids… they possessed the animatronics. Got trapped in them, actually. They act like animals—well, not all of them. Some of us have already started to remember thanks to Mike. But others? They're still lost. Freddy and Bonnie—the bear and the bunny—they don’t even remember their names.but we still work on it!"

They shifted their flashlight, scanning across the cameras before continuing.

"Then there’s Charlie and Michael. They’re on the other side—not like us. They're very aware. They know who they are, and they can put themselves together. We’re different from them. That’s why they’re helping us—to remember.

"I’m aware now too, kind of. But I’ve got so many memories—bits and pieces of everyone who died here. It’s hard to sort out what’s mine and what isn’t. Which memories belonged to me, and which ones were just... echoes." They tapped a finger on the desk, frowning. "It’s like having a puzzle but half the pieces aren’t yours. It took a while, but now I know which ones are mine. That makes me… one of them."

Ford took a moment to digest that, eyes narrowing slightly. So the bear animatronic must be Freddy, then. Haunted or posessed a child. Trapped.

“You seem very experienced,” Ford said carefully. “Were you one of the guards who died here?”

Cassidy’s face twisted into a wry smirk.

“Oh, Ford, Ford... You’ve got it all wrong.” Their voice dropped into something sarcastic, maybe even amused. “I was one of those kids.”

Ford blinked, startled. That was not what he had expected at all. Cassidy sounded too clever, too composed—like someone far older than a child. Their voice had a playful edge, yes, but their insight was sharp, deliberate. It didn’t add up. Or maybe that was the point.

Because nothing about this place added up.

Ford's shoulders hunched slightly as he averted his gaze. “I’m sorry, I don’t… know,” he admitted, the words sounding smaller than he intended. Embarrassed, he rubbed the back of his neck, unsure if he was asking too many questions—or the wrong ones.

Cassidy just laughed, a dry, amused sound that felt older than it should have. “Oh, c’mon, ol’ man. I’m already dead—it’s not a big deal. Age doesn’t really matter anymore.”

Their tone was casual, but Ford sensed the weight beneath the joke.

“Oh, by the way—CC said your hands are very unique.”

Ford blinked, startled. His reaction was instinctive—He quickly hid his hands.Hoping at least Cassidy did not stare at them.But it seems like Cassidy not care about it.

“Whoa, don’t worry, Big Brain,” Cassidy said quickly, raising both hands in mock surrender. “It’s not a bad thing! CC thinks it’s cool.”

Ford paused, then let out a soft, disbelieving chuckle. “Really?” he asked, scanning the room reflexively. “Is… is CC still around me?”

Cassidy nodded, an affirming tilt of the head. “Uh-huh.”

A quiet moment passed before Ford cleared his throat. “Well... I appreciate that.”Cassidy’s grin widened, a flash of sharp humor returning to their expression. They turned to glance at the analog clock on the wall, the hour hand crawling toward dawn.

“Four AM already,” they muttered, then looked back at him. “Shift’s almost over. We can’t just leave you here, and Mike’ll probably be up soon—you can ask him a thousand things, he loves that. Want to check the ball pit again with me? Maybe we’ll get lucky and dig up something new.”

Before Ford could answer, they reached for the nearby logbook and grabbed two pens—one red, one gold. The logbook's deep red cover reminded Ford of his own journals, though this one bore the faint imprint of the word SECURITY-crossed out with thick black ink and replaced above with SURVIVAL. Four crudely drawn animatronics stared from the cover like sentries. Probably the primary ones here.

Cassidy tucked the red pen away into their pocket and held the gold one in the same hand as the logbook, flipping it closed with a practiced gesture.

“Hey,” they called, already halfway toward the hallway. “You coming or what, Big Brain?" Cassidy called from outside

That snapped Ford out of his thoughts, and he quickly stood up, stepping over to join them.

Is it okay walk in corridor when maybe animatronics still around? But Cassidy really confident about it so maybe it's okay.

​

“What time exactly will this work be finished?” Ford asked, keeping his voice even.

“Six AM,” Cassidy replied, checking the clock again. “We still have time—maybe mess with a few systems, or check on the animatronics too. Honestly… I kinda want to take a look at the body of the last guard. Y’know, the one the kids killed.”

For a moment, Ford froze.

He had assumed it was one of Cassidy’s morbid jokes—dark humor from a ghostly child. But the way they said it, so casually, so flatly…

It wasn’t a joke.

Cassidy wasn’t grinning. They weren’t trying to spook him. They were just stating a fact.

And somehow, that chilled Ford more than any punchline ever could.

Origins of Olympus - Reimagined

Chapter 1: Welcome to Camp Oasis!

The sun beamed down onto the sand; the sky was clear of any clouds. The heat of the desert would’ve been unbearable for any human unlucky enough to be caught in its never-ending expanses. After all, mortals could not find their way to a place like this, especially not to its oasis. Even if they did, the gods would smite them for trespassing onto the sacred land. A place where the finest of greenery and produce grew; food was abundant, the water was so clean, you could drink it from the source, and filled with fauna so docile, even tigers could have been considered house pets. However, these individuals are by no means ‘mortals’. For these people are children of the gods. Blessed to walk the lands of Gaia with the grand powers of their parents. Striking the earth with powerful volts, bringing the motions of the tides, guiding souls to their final resting place, and even becoming the light of the sun themself.

An echidna stood tall on the entrance platform, backlit by the magic doorway behind her. Orange scales shining in the mid-afternoon sun. Her large wings sat solidly on her back, accentuating her posture. The woman's human upper half was covered with a red-orange dress, which was trimmed and decorated with gold. Gold bracelets were also placed on her upper and lower arms, and on the end of her serpent tail. Each of these bracelets were jeweled with three bright orange stones which matched her fiery irises. Scales traveled up the young woman’s body, spotting her shoulders, ears and face with the same burnt orange as the asymmetrical horns buried in her dark brown hair. Her heavy-lidded eyes surveyed over the slowly building group. Demi-gods to be specific.

“Hello everyone, I am Kaykrea and welcome to the Oasis of Demeter.” Kaykrea introduced, catching the attention of the present demi-gods. She had situated herself on the marble steps leading to the entryway of the camp, which was blocked by a form of powerful magic that none of the others could quite figure out. 

Beside her was her new assistant, who had arrived earlier that day, a harpy named Marshie. She was white winged harpy, in a dark crop top with a long striped light purple shawl that fell past her shoulders. Her laurel was decorated with small golden sunflowers and sat atop her long strawberry blond hair, some of which had been pulled back to make a cute loose ponytail. Her outfit was finished off with some jean shorts that stopped above her more eagle shaped legs and taloned feet. They had taken time to chat and plan during the wait and already found that they got along rather well.

“I will be your designated camp counselor.” Kaykrea's large, scaled wings spread to frame her sculpted body; her lower serpent body raising the human half to stand tall over all of the campers. “Today will just be a simple meet-and-greet with a tour of the campgrounds. Then we will have a short session with The Oracle later this evening.” 

Many already had looks of admiration or excitement on their faces; except for a man with long shaggy white and red hair off to the side, who simply rolled his eyes at her. She figured that this one may eventually become a problem and mentally noted to keep an eye on him. “First will be introductions, we will start with you.” She stated, pointing at a man with black hair and yellow highlights, frizzed by what appeared to be static. 

The man stood a bit straighter now that the attention was on him, his black eyes widening slightly from being singled out, “I am Mario, son of Zeus, God of storms and lightning!” Mario proclaimed. His looks only pushed the idea. His toga was black and yellow with hints of white under the garment and light blue accents. Lightning motifs could be found in his laurel, arm armor and his white sash in the form of a lightning shaped fibula brooch. Throughout his arms and legs, his veins seemed to glow an electric yellow on his sun-tanned skin. He stood with confidence, almost looking like he was about to burst with unstoppable energy.

The Echidna nodded in approval; a child of Zeus was sure to bring some excitement. “Thank you, Mario. Now you, the one in blue.” She moved on, gesturing to a man with a much shyer demeanor, as he sat much more hunched over compared to the rest of the group.

“Uhm… Jakey, one of the sons of Poseidon.” Jakey mumbled, just loud enough for Kaykrea to glean. Besides the small, high collard coverup on his shoulders, he was shirtless, showing off his swimmer's body. The armor over his left pec was layered and traveled over to part of his back, with large light blue inset jewels glittering in the light. At his hips sat a blue 5-layered skirt-like bottom that split at his right hip, the exposed part of which was covered by a cloth tied to the skirt. His arms and legs were protected by silver armor shaped like fish and similarly jeweled like the rest of his armor; his hands were covered in dark blue fingerless gloves. A tasteful crown was planted in his brown and blue hair with the same light blue gem, his hair had been put into a french-styled braid on both sides of his head that then came together into a long skinny braid in the back. On his back, sat a long bident with jewels spotted on the head, and the end had a shark fin shape.

Kaykrea nodded in satisfaction and was about to move on to the next camper when a new voice joined the group.

Distinct sounds of shuffling sand could be heard from the distance. “I’m sorry, I’m here, hold on-!” Shouted a young man with short white hair. His ears were pierced with round red earrings and accompanied by golden ear clips covered in rose leaves. His neck was adorned with a red choker. A cropped himation draped over his right shoulder which was pinned by a sort-of star shaped fibula brooch. His two-layered red skirt with gold trim swayed with the movement of his legs. He had shoulder pads that appeared to have rose designs that matched the rose on his dark gray belt, which matched the leather armor on his arms. Small white wings flared from the shoulder pads and his golden shoes. Two hooked swords were connected at the hilts which gave the shape of an S sat on his back along with a small satchel, assumedly a physical god pocket, likely it had all of his other essentials in its magic confines. He skidded to a stop with the rest of the group; bending over to catch his breath, using his knees as support.

“I, huf, apologize, hrff, I was distracted, hooh…” He rushed between labored breaths; his body lightly shook from overexertion.

“And… who might you be?” The orange serpent inquired, drawing out her sentence. 

With one last deep gasp of air, the white-haired man responded, “I’m Bryan, the son of Aphrodite; the goddess of love, beauty and passion herself!” Bryan flicked his hair back haughtily and stood with his head held high. The motion made him look back and lock his eyes onto Jakey. This made him freeze in the middle of his display; a light pink softy grazed his face, and he awkwardly took a few steps back to get a proper look at the other man, honey brown eyes holding an intense stare.

‘…Poor guy…’ Kaykrea sympathized, even though the boy in blue didn't even seem to notice Bryan. However, she quickly corrected herself and went back to the meet-and-greet. “Thank you, Bryan. Now then, let's move on to… you.” She brought attention to a man with ashy skin.

The man with the sides of his head shaved and a braid going down the back of his scalp, a chunk of which was bronze. Thick sideburns lead to a scruffy but well-trimmed beard. He awkwardly lifted his hand in a wave. 

“Ah, Xylo. Son of Apollo.” Xylo greeted. His laurel also had a bronze color, sporting, strangely enough, pomegranate leaves. Bronze spartan armor on his torso and lower legs, along with a layer of leather pteruges at his waist along with shoulder pads that had sun designs glazed on. Over his protective layer there was a bright multi-colored sash, going from a dark purplish blue to a bright sunny yellow curving around his body to also become his belt and dangling the leftover fabric in the front. The cloth was pinned down by bronze peronai on his right shoulder and where the cloth hung off at the belt, they were in the shape of the sun with four points, inside being bright yellow glaze. He had single point claw gauntlets in a similar sun shape attached to thick fingerless leather gloves. At his hips, an open hip cape hung to his knees, a bright pattern depicting a sun in a wavy sky adorned the garment. Another odd part of his look were his dark purple eyes, it almost looked like they didn’t belong, or that he didn’t belong.

Kaykrea had scrunched her nose in frustration, heavy lidded eyes glaring aggressively, bowing her head to show off her dark orange horns at the ashen man. Apollo… Apollo… Mother…

“Ah… thanks.” She bluntly stated.

Xylo had an expression of mild offense but decided to leave it be for the time being.

As the rest of the meeting went on, more of the godly children introduced themselves. A second son of Poseidon named Mitch. He too, lacked a shirt and wore a coverup on the upper part of his torso and wore a far more gaudy golden crown. Although, his face was half covered in black scales. He was much darker than Jakey, with a more deep sea/ocean look to match with his black and blue clothing, with small bioluminescent adornments. He also held the trident, at this mention, Jakey made his own snide remark about poor choices in part on their father. 

The man KayKrea had taken note of earlier was named Brandeen, who was a son of Ares. His style leaned towards more human than Olympian it appeared, not that it was any concern to her as plenty of gods and demi-gods had spent at least some time around mortals and their ever-expanding culture. His overall appearance was dark, his disheveled black and white striped shirt and ripped black pants made up part of his look. A dark red pleather biker jacket with the sleeves measly ripped off, which was accented with smaller bits of a brighter red, brought it all together. Around his arms were bandages with blades tied at the ends that pulsed with divine energy; those must be his weapons.

Further back was a Satyr woman named Relena, the adopted child of Artemis. Her hair was a subtle mix of light and dark brown and subtly blended into the fur on her ears and face; which were both rather animal-like. She was dressed in much more casual human clothing, having a halfway split turquoise and light pink short jacket over a plain white crop top, the pink matching her horns. The jacket had its sleeves ripped off, showing her strong arms. Her jeans were intentionally ripped at her knees, keeping it out of the way of her more animalistic legs and hooved feet. An attempt was made to paint her hooves the same pink as her horns. Slung across her hips sat an ornate silver bow with a quiver of arrows.

At the end of the lineup stood a man almost completely clad in black, battle armor being placed over his original clothing. His name was Brick, one of the very few children of Hades. He had a black war helmet with the holes for the face covered by a bright purple energy. His speech was short and abrupt, only giving his name and heritage in a sharply cold manner.

Kaykrea knew there were other campers yet to arrive, but she had to start with the tour before it got too late in the day. So, with a large flap of her orange wings, she instructed the present campers to follow her for the tour of the grounds. With an expert waver of her hand, she dispelled the magic that blocked off the entrance to the camp.

Entering through the enchanted doors of Camp Oasis, guarded by large spear-wielding statues, they followed a small path. The path led to a sort-of roundabout, which had small sections of path that lead away to other parts of the camp. Surrounding the group was a quaint little garden, and at the roundabout’s center was a marble fountain that poured water as blue as the sky. Many flowers covered the area surrounding the outer rim of the path around the fountain. However, Bryan took particular interest in the Rose bushes.

“Oh, I heard about the nature here!” He exclaimed with adoration and fondness, earning him odd stares from the others. “About how it all seems to live or even thrive! These roses are beautiful, what do you do to make them grow like this?” He would have continued to fawn over the red flowers if he weren't interrupted.

“Bet you sure know a lot about this junk, huh?” Mario taunted. It sounded playful, but that didn’t stop Bryan from shooting the other with a sharp glare.

“Sure do…” The white-haired man mumbled. Mario sucked in his lips, like how one would with something sour, he figured that he shouldn’t have spoken up.

“Alright!” Kaykrea interjected, clapping her hands together to catch the two boys' attention. “Let's get a move on up the path!” She ushered, wanting to avoid a first day conflict.

Up the path was the training area. Fully packed with dummies, targets and even a small sparring ring with a little viewing area. A good handful of campers took potshots at the targets, using either their weapons or godly powers, with varying rates of success and accuracy. Further down was a sports area, consisting of both old Olympic sports and modern human sports. Next to the sports fields were the cabins. They were charming, being made in a rustic style and crafted from the same wood as the surrounding towering trees. She said that cabins would be assigned after the tour, during dinner. Most were able to house two or so people and stood overlooking the surprisingly close gulf that led out into the ocean. Nearby, a dock sat with fishing boats stranded on the shoreline. Fishing equipment had been provided on the dock, along with some outdoor cooking equipment in a small shed nearby. Next was the camp hall, for campers to meet and socialize. A bonfire circle sat just beside the mess hall, it had yet to be lit, although it seemed to have been recently stocked with firewood. 

“This is where we will have our rendezvous after you settle in and have dinner this evening.” She explained, letting everyone gather before continuing. “Then The Oracle will come and give us a free prophecy. Afterwards, you will earn the right to meet with them eventually, but that is a discussion for later throughout your stay.”

Then the mess hall. The Hall was very large, it would have no trouble fitting the entirety of the camp once they were all there. A heavenly smell came from the building, a mixture of sweet and savory that caused the campers mouths to water with anticipation. Finally, was the shower and bathroom area, having both separate and unisex washrooms, and a small bath house.

She pointed to a distant building. It was a small temple, with a securely locked door. So secure in fact that there was no lock, only magic.

“That is where The Oracle resides. You are not to bother them unless you are given passage, or they decide to summon you.” She declared with finality. Asserting that the building was fully off-limits otherwise. 

  With that the campers were released and left to their own devices. Some had gone to chat by the cabins and others went to either look around the camp or to use the training area. Kaykrea herself went to the mess hall to finish preparing for that night's feast.

Soon enough, they were brought back to the mess hall, where an entire buffet was set up. Different tables had different types of food. Fruits and vegetables were set to one side of the buffet. Large fruit bowls held exotic fruits not even native to their part of the world, and the veggies had been grown right on camp property and harvested that day. A range of different meats sat in the middle of the arrangement, from the finest steaks to moist and well-seasoned fowl and poultry, to fish from both fresh and saltwater. At the other end were deserts and drinks. Pies, cakes and pastries alongside juices, nectar and ambrosia. It was now bustling; some others had arrived at the camp over time and joined in on the festive atmosphere.

During this time, Kaykrea went around telling campers to take a card from a small deck. The cards were in pairs of colors and a cabin number, and those with matching pairs would bunk together. On occasion, some did not get a cabin mate, not that any of them seemed to mind, like Mitch. However, most did have two people. Xylo and Jakey, Relena and Brick, even Brandeen had a cabin buddy. Although, she had not learned his roommate's name yet. Glancing around, she could see the Demi-gods socializing, looking for anyone who had a matching card or simply enjoying the food. Bryan approached her to receive his card, fittingly, red. Not that she knew if anyone else had a red card, but she had caught a glimpse at his. She internally chuckled at the mild irony.

“Did anyone else get red?” He inquired over the crowd, causing a brief awkward silence as everyone else double checked their cards.

“Over here!” A voice replied, a hand darting up over the crowd to display their card.

Bryan made his way over to his roommate for the summer. Only to come face-to-face with Mario. He could hardly hide his disappointment. Obviously still salty about the comment made earlier that day. Mario held a poorly disguised expression of awkwardness, not knowing how to tackle the subject. Kaykrea was about to confront the two about perhaps changing cabins before the man in black and yellow asked if the shorter boy would be willing to meet with him outside. With a stiff nod, Bryan followed the fellow demi-god out the door. Just to be safe, the serpent woman discreetly accompanied the two.

The full moon hung at the edge of the sky, the final dim glow of the setting sun moments from vanishing. Cool night breezes chilled the earth from the heat of the summer day. The pair stood in silence, not sure how to begin the conversation. The tension was thick enough to be sliced by any blade. Which Mario dared to do.

“Listen, I’m sorry about earlier… I thought it sounded joking enough, but I could tell it flumped entirely.” He kept his warm black eyes on the ground, not really wanting to see the look the other man was possibly giving him.

“Yeah, I get that.” Bryan spoke blankly, staring off in a random direction. “But it still hit a cord… kinda sounded like my mom…” This came out far more dejected.

“Really? Why would Aphrodite, of all gods, judge flower stuff?” The raven-haired man replied in mild shock.

Kaykrea was inclined to agree, very odd for the goddess of love.

Bryan continued, waving his hand in circles to sort his thoughts. “Not so much the flower thing, more so just not really understanding or accepting my interests…” The other supplied, “Me not being like my siblings… or her.”

“Whoof, I feel you there, my dad doesn’t really give me much thought. Given that he has so many other kids.” Mario chuckled at his little jab at his father; he was right after all, Zeus wasn’t known for his… marital devotion.

Kaykrea had to quickly stifle laughter at the thought. She couldn’t risk getting caught.

“Not to mention that a lot of them have become either legendary heroes or have impacted history in some major way.” Mario ended his sentence with a light huff of amusement and an awkward lean “Those kinds of expectations can make someone pretty awkward huh?” he asked rhetorically, obviously trying to railroad to find common ground. 

Quickly, under his breath the black-eyed man added on, “and dad can’t keep his clothes on so-”. The smug smirk that plastered his face made the other demi-god snerk a little, a light red came to his cheeks and ears in embarrassment as his lips scrunched to a futile attempt to hide his amusement.

“Gross-“ the man in red shot back with a humorous sly grin, gently shoving the other. “-but… same… only with my mom.” He amended, “Anyways, no one likes to think of the goddess of love and beauty being a violent god, despite her history. I just can’t help but wonder about it.” This came in a more soft-spoken cadence, walls starting to fully drop.

“Yeah?” Mario tentatively eased. “I’m sure it must make things awkward?” He raised an eyebrow. Although drama in the Aphrodite family was not surprising, nor unheard of, seeing that outward facade be shelved for honesty and openness took Kaykrea aback slightly. Maybe she shouldn’t have eavesdropped on this conversation. It was beginning to become a little too personal and raw.

Bryan began to lean in, speaking both softer and with sincerity, the haughty persona being fully abandoned before responding.  “Mhm.” He started with a small nod. “You see, I’m a huge fan of the legendary wars and heroes of the past. That led to me digging, especially since my mother was one of the main causes for the biggest war in our history…” his eyes seemed to shine excitedly, passion bleeding from his slight movements and the small grin on his face.

“I couldn’t help myself.” Bryan continued, “I just wanted to understand why we had to throw that part of our past away. Just because our family represents the many forms of love doesn’t mean we couldn't enjoy combat or sparring. Heck, I even got a gift recently that-”.

All of a sudden, Bryan trailed off, his eyes becoming listless, losing that excited bright shine. The feeling of discomfort filled the still air, and his muscles tensed.

“What?” Mario cocked his head, “Something else on your mind?” He pushed.

Bryan backed off, glancing to the side in embarrassment. “Sorry, shouldn’t have said anything…” he muttered under his breath, shoulders sinking subconsciously.

The black clothed man quickly waved his hands, trying to brush off the others embarrassment. “No, no! I was just… uh.” He took a pause; he was ruining this again.

“It’s ok. Not many people know about my mother’s past with war. Especially after The Iliad was published.” The shorter man chuckled, starting to backtrack “But I want to know… even if she doesn't really like me digging into it.” Bryan was standing normally now, a lot more bashful and uncomfortable talking about his family.

Mario planted his hand on the other in a comforting gesture, rubbing small circles into his back. In return, Bryan leaned into the touch slightly, the muscles near his shoulders flexing oddly. It was like he wasn't used to touch, or at least it had been a while since he's been comforted. Although, from what Kaykrea had observed, and her prior experience with the Olympian gods. The awkward nature of the white-haired man seemed to suggest the former.

Bryan lifted his head to look at Mario, taking a small calming breath before speaking again. “To be honest, I don’t think I know much anyway. A lot of my own memories are fuzzy…” This earned him an odd look from Mario, and Kaykrea couldn’t help but do the same. It is rather strange that he would have a bad memory. Was this what the smaller was trying to talk about before? Well, whatever the case may be, the black-haired man let it be and merely nodded in acknowledgment.

It seemed the two had spoken their peace. Overall, a little more comfort had been built between the two. Mario stuck out his hand, offering an apology and a truce to their minor conflict, which Bryan accepted with a small smile. Kaykrea huffed a small sigh of relief, glad that a fight hadn’t broken out on the first day, nor that any enemies were made. She made a quick escape back into the mess hall, moments before the other two made their reentry. It was felt in the room, everyone could tell that whatever issue was happening between the two, it had been sorted out. They went off to join the others again, starting to take far more enjoyment in each other's company than before. At least that was resolved.

About two hours had passed at this point, Kaykrea taking the time to clean up as the festivities came to a close. Many campers had joined together into small groups or cliques and every once in a while, there would be thunderous laughter that would trail back into a comfortable buzz and light chatter. She was frankly quite surprised; no fights, mild and quickly resolved conflicts, and not a single misunderstanding! It was almost as if they were in a normal human camp and not a camp full of physical embodiments of natural concepts. Although she knew that it all had to come to an end soon, it was almost time to meet with The Oracle and she needed to pick up the mess hall before then.

“Okay, everyone!” Kaykrea called, waiting for the campers' conversations to end before she announced, “It is almost time to meet The Oracle, I would like all of you to go to your cabins and drop off your things, decide who wants what bed and such. We will meet back at the bond fire, I will move on with the night whether you make it or not, so be there if you wish to listen to The Oracles’ predictions.” With that, she went to clean the tables of the leftover dishes and scraps of food.

The campers had left for their cabins to drop off their things and to get sorted before heading to the large bonfire. When it seemed that all had arrived, Kaykrea used her flaming blade to ignite the kindling, and soon enough, a fire was brought to life. The flame was large and danced with the slight breeze of the night. Cracks and pops from the wood soon followed, allowing the meeting to officially begin. Xylo, with hardly any regard for the current evening event, suddenly pulled out a large bag of marshmallows, announcing a query of whether anyone wanted some. Most around the fire whooped at the human treat, receiving their share from the armored man.

Mitch had grabbed two and offered one to Jakey, who had taken it upon himself to grab his own from the son of Apollo rather than accepting one from his brother, Mitch practically looked scandalized. Mario had done the same with Relena, who happily accepted the offer, and Bryan, who simply denied the sugar pillow after giving it a questioning glance of uncertainty. Brandeen seemed all too eager to receive the food from the violet-eyed man. The two had been talking a lot earlier and appeared to have hit it off in some fashion, although Xylo did give him a standoffish look. Kaykrea was far from amused, seeing how all began to disregard what this meeting was about. She simply rolled her eyes and slithered away when Xylo attempted to offer her the bag's contents. In return, he merely shrugged and received a plush confectionary for himself.

The fire in the center of the gathering began fully burning in a bright blend of reds, oranges and yellows. Accenting the woman's appearance and making her look just as bright as the flames. With a faux clearing of her throat, she called to attention all of the present campers for the night's announcements.

“I’m sure some of you all are anticipating the reason as to why we are out so late.” She began, more so wanting to give a reminder to the campers. She continued “First, I do have a few announcements. Starting off, in a few days we will be having the Trial of Ares, which will be a sort of… death match.” This statement brought a few panicked faces and alarmed exclamations to the campers “However, with less… death involved. Close to death, I should say.” Her amendment melted some tension, but the atmosphere still weighed heavy in the group. “It will allow us to see who is at the top, and where others' experiences lie before we get into the real training.” Uncertainty followed the final word of the first announcement, nervous glances were shared between the others.

“Will we get anything?” Was a quick question from Xylo.

“Excuse me?” Came the indigent reply from the camp counselor.

“If one of us wins the trial. Do we get anything?” He clarified.

“That will be discussed at a later time” Was the firm response from the brunette woman.

“Now then. Secondly, as you all know, there is a special guest for you all tonight. They would like to pay a visit to all of you.” Suddenly the meeting area was filled with gasps of awe and excited mermers at Kaykrea’s reveal, some nodding that they did, in fact, remember the prior mention. “There is a message that they would like to give you all, a prophecy.” Her voice suddenly hardened as she followed up with a demand. “I do ask that as a way to show respect to The Oracle, you must stay completely silent, and to not have… snacks, while they are here…” This prompted Xylo to quickly hide the bag of marshmallows and for everyone else to swiftly finish their part of the treat. “Are we clear?” The serpent finished, allowing for any present questions.

Xylo ended up asking another query, the primary one on everyone’s minds. “What if we have questions about what they say?” Soon pipings of agreements followed and Kaykrea was quick to respond.

“There will be no questions for The Oracle at this time.” she asserted. “Although, perhaps in the future, but not today. Am I clear?” She took a pause so the campers could give their affirmation, albeit tentatively. “Alright. Introducing… The Oracle.” The winged woman slithered back as the flames of the bonfire began to grow unnaturally, responding to the approaching powerful presence. The once gentle breeze started to pick up and blow back locks of hair. Even the moon appeared to shine brighter as a soft flapping of wings could be heard just over the cracking and popping of the fire. A small shadow formed in the glowing space above the flames, and as it came closer to the light, The Oracle was revealed.

They were small, looking no bigger than the length of an arm vertically and horizontally if the wings and tail were fully stretched out. Right, they had a tail, covered in small iridescent scales that transitioned from black to a deep blue to a bright green, speckled throughout were small white spots, it’s unclear if those were the scales shining or just part of the pattern. Underneath was a black belly with long smooth scales that came up to the main ‘head’. The bat-like wings shared similar traits to the tail, with the black, blue, green with white speckles, pattern. Their head could hardly be considered a ‘head’, since it was just a single large eyeball. The unnerving sight was only enhanced by the odd shaped iris and pupil, which had the shapes of diamonds. The iris itself shared the previous color pattern of the tail and wings. The eyelashes themselves didn’t help either, being large and thick. The top half was long and had two protruding chunks on either side that enhanced the bat-like look. The bottom came to multiple sharp points. Large openings where the eyelids met showed the connective corners. It all was so disproportionate and unnatural, yet here they were, right in front of the small crowd.

A voice, as soft and smooth as the nearby ocean waves, whispered through the open air. Despite not having a mouth, The Oracle spoke as though projecting their message straight into the minds of the camp's inhabitants. “Ah, and so arrive the children of the gods…” Like a knife through butter, the voice cut through the silence, demanding the attention of all those present. The single eye glanced with a piercing gaze over the group, barely stopping on anyone specific. But still, The Oracle already was seeing the future of the campers. “How interesting… hmh… very interesting.” The eye began to glow in rings, looking like the flaring of the sun when looked at through a window or from a recording. The fire began to build, and the smoke rose in large plumes as the small bat-serpent form took to hovering over the pit. Finally, they spoke of what they were seeing. “Darkness looms over the future for one of you, and with it will come terror and destruction. Greatness follows another, a coming day where you will become a great hero. But, not without great loss of those who you love and believe to be close friends. And one of you will assist to break open the earth, and free The Titans from Tartarus. The Future is filled with bloodshed.”

With the final declaration from The Oracle, the fire suddenly is extinguished, leaving all to be shrouded in the darkness of night. The Prophecy held very few good omens it seemed. An unnerving silence filled the air as the small eyeball-bat disappeared into the star-filled sky, swiftly blending in and vanishing from the scene. Soon hushed whispers filled the area as uncertainty and fright began to grow. Kaykrea was quick to initiate the ending statements for the night and sent the campers back to their designated cabins to rest. Although, it would best be assumed that not many got much rest, whether if it was discussing the words of the Oracle, concerns on the upcoming trial, finishing unpacking, or ponderings on how the summer may be more interesting than at first predicted.

Kaykrea stood at the shoreline straddling the camp, nearby was The Oracle’s abode, where the small creature was resting. She didn’t want the others to see, but the prophecy frightened her. She knew that the lives of gods and demi-gods could get dangerous, but… bloodshed… terror… The Titans. What would this mean? Was everyone here doomed right as they crossed the threshold? Perhaps even before they arrived? Not only that, but nothing said that The Oracle was safe either. It appears that maybe She has bitten more than she could chew. But she would do anything for the camp, anything for The Oracle.

Ymir's introduction into Hexside. Story below.

"Here he is miss Eda, remember Ymir? He lived with you for a while before we adopted him." Amity Blight proclaimed proudly gesturing to her adopted demon son. "You're saying this as if I have dementia. Of course I remember little Yimi, I saw him last week!" Edalyn Clawthorne laughed, "So you're not homeschooling him after all?" "We talked about it and came to the conclusion that he would turn out better if he had a normal school experience... As normal as Hexside can offer that is" Luz Noceda, Ymir's other adopted mom chuckled, "Ymir, come on in and tell auntie Eda which track you wanted!" she urged her son, who was hiding his face behind his books. He peeked over the books at his moms and after a moment spoke in a shaky voice. "I... I changed... m-my mind. Can we go home please?" Eda narrowed her eyes at Luz "What did you do to the poor kid?" "He was fine when we were talking about it at home, I promise! MirMir what's wrong? Talk to us please!" Luz let go of Amity and approached their son very concerned, "What's going on honey?" Ymir looked away and whispered "They're all gonna hate me. They will know I helped Belos and they will hate my guts... and bully me...", and before Luz had a chance to speak Eda shouted "Not on my watch! No one will dare lay a finger on you w-" Ymir recoiled at the sudden loud noise and mouthed "sorry", to which Eda adjusted herself in her principal's chair and lowered her voice " No no I'm sorry, I forgot... He screamed at you a lot, didn't he little one?" to which Ymir nodded, still looking away. Eda spoke again, softer this time "My point is nobody will hate you for being Belos' butler or maid or whatever, because you were forced into it. It's not your fault. And even if somebody tries to bully you for it, you just gotta tell auntie Eda, and auntie Eda will crumple them into dust." Ymir looked up at her still unsure, "You promise auntie Eda?" "Like a piece of chalk!" Eda crushed a chalk piece into dust, spawning a white dust cloud that made her cough. Ymir giggled at that. "Alright... I wanted... Oracle.

[coriander-candlesticks]

I've felt like I should check in with Apollo the past few days and finally managed to clear enough space on my floor to feel alright with breaking out the tarot deck again so I did! Lit his candle, said as as formal a prayer as I could muster beforehand, asked Hermes to help with communication, the whole shebang. For further context: I've been wanting to ask Aphrodite something specific (also via tarot, it's the most grounding tool I've got) but I only have the one deck at the moment and, while I've used it to ask Hermes about things in tandem with Apollo, and Aphrodite introduced herself via it (with a card that also introduced Apollo), I wasn't sure if it would be cool for me to use it to ask her specifically something not in direct tandem with Apollo. I mentioned that in the prayer but also said that that might be a question for a different session, since trying to get an answer to that (on top of the general "hey how are we doing/do you have anything you want me to learn") might muddy my ability to understand the message.

Cue twelve cards falling out of my deck/poking out while I was shuffling. I usually pull ~3 cards on top of whatever falls out, but I ended up not feeling like it was needed. Seven of them fell out face-up, too.

Despite having some concerns about whether all of the cards were "supposed" to be pulled, it was pretty coherent! And covered quite a few things I've been thinking about recently, including sorting out anxiety vs a warning/displeasure, a follow-up of a card that was the focus of my last pull, and a reminder to look at outside/intellectual sources to combat the whatever-the-fuck-my-brain's-on. There were four cards that fell out face-up together in a pile: a card I associate with Apollo at the front and one associated with Artemis (the Moon) at the back, with cards related to unity & growth in the middle. I'd had a pretty bad experience attempting an offering to Artemis last month and have stepped back and avoided asking her for anything or specifically invoking her in prayers/offerings/etc. since (except for once when it involved a pregnant friend b/c it seemed odd and tbh a little disrespectful to ask Apollo for help and not her as well) because I took it as a sign that she didn't want me to work with her. I'm also aware, though, that that bad experience could have just been a meltdown/panic attack. Regardless of whether it was either of those two things, a "hey slow down" warning, or a combination, it was nice to have some clear reassurance & an official introduction. It's also significant, I think, that part of the Moon card's message is about not letting anxiety/"self-deception" (direct from the guide) cloud your intuition. I've been wanting to burn the candle I dedicated to her for a few days now- it's possible that was a sign from her as well.

As far as the deck-use question...the first card that fell out was the Empress (face-up, reversed). My initial thought was that it was a "no", but I decided to look at the meaning in case it wasn't that which was. probably a bad idea. It freaked me out a bit because I couldn't figure out what it was referring to. I ended up using my alphabet oracle tiles for a makeshift yes/no system after finishing with all the other cards and got clear confirmation that my instinct was, in fact, correct.

All in all it was really cool?? By far the most cards I've had in one pill iirc, and a good lesson in identifying how my intuition works.

[sanguinesorcery]

Starting to compile and rearrange subjects to discuss with the new lore rewrite. This is just the outline I'm working off of, I've been rearranging old text from the site to slot into place and rewrite so it's not as Weirdly Paced. Subjects are bound to change format, placement, or be added to or removed altogether.

The plan is to condense the amount of scattered text widgets into one, as well as write/develop/detail/reword a bunch of new or existing topics I never touched on. I want it to be the beast it was meant to be. I want people to walk into this place feeling like they are immersed into it from the start. This will help; it's been fifteen years, it's due for a monstrous overhaul on par with the Schwarzwald lore that inspired it. There's a surprise at the end of this rewrite, but I don't want to spoil it yet; a small handful of people know what it is though.

If there is a subject I missed or one you're curious about and don't see on the list, poke me and I'll slot it in somewhere it fits the flow to work on as I go. You can also ask about subjects already there, it helps me figure out what details need to be worked on!

Here's the outline so far:

Introduction

Hello! this is just a quick about-me post to get people introduced to me and my practice. This is quite a long post, so if you don't want to read all of it, it'll be broken up into a few distinct sections of basic info, my practice (witchcraft), my practice (religion), and my hobbies/interests. If you have any other questions, feel free to send an ask or leave it in the comments. I'm doing my best to format this, so if you have any advice for formatting, please leave that in the comments too :)

Basic info:

You can call me Rook or Cloud

Any pronouns, but i especially prefer they/them and it/its

I'm a minor, so proceed with some caution, and dni if you're uncomfy with that

Genderqueer (possibly genderfluid? idk lmao)

Gray-aromantic

I also sew, embroider, and crochet!

My practice (witchcraft):

I'm a witch!! Eclectic is pretty accurate for me, but I do use a lot of heathenry in my practice. I collect crystals for both spiritual purposes and the fact that they're generally pretty cool :) I tend to do mostly low-energy spells, but I do enjoy larger and more elaborate rituals and spells when I have the time and motivation. I love divination, and would absolutely love to do readings for people if anyone wants one! you can just send me an ask if you'd like. I'm most experienced with tarot cards and oracle cards, but I also use pendulums, playing cards, tasseomancy (tea leaf reading), osseomancy (bone throwing/reading, although you don't just have to use bones for this), and more! currently I'm researching spirit work, shadow work, plant spirits, and astral projection/the astral realm.

My practice (religion):

I'm a pagan!! I only work closely with Loki, so I also use the term Lokean. Loki is my patron deity, so I work very very closely with him, and I'd love to tell you guys about him! Previously I have worked with the fae, but I wasn't taking it seriously enough, and didn't know enough to really do it properly. I may start working with them again now that I've learned more about myself and my beliefs. I also may start working with Lucifer, but I need to keep researching him.

My hobbies/interests:

As mentioned above, I love biology in general, but I am especially interested in entomology, mycology, ornithology, lepidopterology, herpetology, and botany. I am an amateur houseplant collector, and my most prized specimens are my (very small) Monstera albo, my (very large) pothos with 9+ inch long leaves, and my huge fiddle leaf fig! I'm currently planning on starting to pin insects, raise moths, and raise mantids. I love Dungeons and Dragons, so I'd love to geek out about that with somebody >:) I also do a lot of fiber work when I have time, specifically embroidery, sewing, and crocheting. I enjoy learning about music-theory, and compose a little bit. my favorite bands are Fall Out Boy, Ghost, Witchfinder General, Candlemass, Tom Lerher, and Chappel Roan. I also write, draw, paint, and sculpt!

Alright, that should be it! Sorry, that was definitely a lot, but thanks for reading to the end :DD See y'all later!

Introduction

United Arab Emirates has become a hotbed of innovation and digitalization. As the government launches ambitious plans such as UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025, Smart Dubai, and National AI Strategy, businesses are being urged to modernize their IT infrastructure at breakneck speed. However, most large institutions, particularly banking, aviation, oil and gas, and government institutions, are still stuck on legacy mainframe systems.

By 2025, mainframe modernization is no longer a distant IT vision but an immediate strategic necessity. This blog explores why UAE businesses are making modernization their top priority, the dangers of stagnation, the optimal methods for change, and how the transition fits into the country’s broader digital aspirations.

Understanding the Role of Mainframes in the UA

Mainframes have been the workhorse of mission-critical activities for decades. Their design enables them to process huge workloads, provide high availability, and process intricate transactions at scale. Mainframes, though old, are still running in most sectors because of their dependability but cannot adapt to current agile technologies.

Use Cases in the UAE:

Banking & Finance: Secure processing of millions of transactions per day.

Government Services: Managing identity records, vehicle registrations, and immigration databases.

Aviation: Airline reservation systems and cargo logistics.

Oil & Gas: Overseeing field operations, logistics, and worldwide distribution.

These systems are heavily entrenched within operational processes. Yet, their antiquity and inflexibility pose huge obstacles in a world of cloud-native applications, real-time data analysis, and customer-focused digital experiences.

What’s Driving the Need for Modernization in the UAE

1. Regulatory Pressures & Compliance: The UAE has rigorous data governance and cybersecurity regulations. With new data privacy legislation like the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and rules by the Central Bank and NESA, old systems lack the ability to provide auditability, transparency, and responsiveness. Contemporary platforms assist in supporting compliance with these changing mandates.

2. Transformation to a Digital Government UAE government has set a priority for digital-first services for every ministry. Legacy infrastructure slows this shift by not having transparent API integration, mobility, and support for automation.

3. Cloud-First Mandate: Programs such as Cloud-First Policy and collaborations with hyperscalers (AWS UAE Region, Microsoft Azure UAE, Oracle Cloud) promote organizations’ migration towards scalable, safe cloud settings.

4. Shrinking Talent Pool: COBOL, PL/I, and other mainframe qualifications are turning into a rarity, particularly in the UAE where the need for cloud, AI, and DevOps professionals is increasing exponentially. Enterprises encounter recruitment bottlenecks and increased expenses when keeping these vintage systems running.

5. Increasing Operating Costs: Keeping legacy infrastructure working in terms of licensing, electricity, physical space, and hardware refresh is far more expensive compared to running on containerized or serverless designs.

6. Customer Expectations: Today’s users are used to instant responses, frictionless digital experiences, and multi-channel interaction — all of which are hard to realize with inflexible mainframe architectures.

7. Integration of AI and Data Analytics: Mainframes are not inherently equipped for real-time data processing or AI workloads. With the UAE opting for smart services, real-time intelligence is not negotiable. Legacy environments don’t possess the flexibility to connect to platforms that enable predictive analytics and automation.

Risks of Not Modernizing in 2025

1. Loss of Competitive Edge: Digital-born competitors will leave traditional organizations behind in introducing new features, rolling out services, and tailoring customer experiences.

2. Security Risks: Mainframes do not support contemporary encryption standards and multi-faceted defenses, posing an easy target for cyber threats and data breaches.

3. Incompatibility with AI & Analytics: Mainframe data tends to remain siloed and hard to extract, process, or visualize, hampering organizations from harnessing AI and predictive analytics.

4. Vendor Lock-In: Proceeding with proprietary mainframe ecosystems results in excessive vendor reliance and low interoperability.

5. Operational Downtime Risks: Older infrastructure makes system failures and outages more likely — potentially disrupting mission-critical services.

6. High Maintenance Costs: Software licensing, minimal upgrades, and specialist maintenance render mainframes an expensive drain relative to elastic cloud infrastructure.

Modernization Strategies for UAE Enterprises

Modernization is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Companies have to assess their legacy environments, risk tolerance, compliance requirements, and budget.

1. Rehosting (Lift-and-Shift): Transfer applications to cloud infrastructure with negligible code changes.

Example: Banking application migration to Microsoft Azure UAE for improved scalability.

Best suited for: Rapid wins without app redesign.

Challenges: Will not exploit full power of cloud-native models.

2. Replatforming: Transition from mainframe OS to newer cloud environments with business logic preserved.

Example: Migrating government services off z/OS onto containerized Red Hat OpenShift platforms.

Benefit: Enhances maintainability and DevOps compatibility.

Challenges: Still has remaining legacy codebase dependencies.

3. Refactoring / Rearchitecting: Re-implementation of legacy applications using new languages (Java, .NET) and de-coupling into microservices.

Ideal for: Long-term flexibility, cloud-native adoption, AI enablement.

Challenges: High development expense and time; requires strategic planning.

4. Replacing with SaaS: Transition to commercial off-the-shelf SaaS offerings that provide similar or superior functionality.

Example: Upgrading legacy CRM to Salesforce or Oracle Fusion in cloud.

Benefit: Reduced TCO and automatic upgrades.

5. Retiring and Archiving: Identify and retire old components no longer supported by business priorities.

Benefit: Eliminates clutter, enhances operational focus, saves costs.
