#Storm Runner

[lady-hibiscus]

some rick riordan reader: I know Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythology haha I ace the school tests, I'm just too good-

east asian, south asian, african, northern european, slavic, latin american mythologies:

i recommend wikipedia's list of pantheons and rick riordan presents books to help with this. you are missing out if you haven't read Aru Shah, Storm Runner, Dragon Pearl, Tristan Strong, Race to the Sun, Paolo Santiago, City of the Plague God, and The Last Fallen Star. if you're an young adult, American Gods by Neil Gaiman is THE mythology book that redefines modern concepts of deities. The Freya series by Matthew Laurence is also an excellent, more teenager-friendly take on modern gods. honorable non-mythology mention from riordan presents: Sal and Gabi.

Zane Obispo (The Storm Runner)

[Image Description: Official art. Zane, a teenage boy with tan skin and brown eyes, stands with a cane. His hair is short and slightly curly. He is wearing jeans and a blue t-shirt. One hand is on his hip, the other is holding a cane. He is smiling. End ID.]

Zane has a leg length discrepancy and uses a cane.

[apollogies-p]

The fire erupting from the kid's hands made Apollo very grateful for Sally's common sense to move her and Percy just moments before.

"Kid- Kid!" Apollo haphazardly lunged for his arms, and the resulting insults and swears coming from the child made Apollo very happy that Paul also had enough common sense to remove Estelle from the house.

After a very forceful struggle (well on the kid's part- Apollo didn't try much) the small boy (he was using small in a more figurative sense, in reality he'd tower over Sally and rival Percy in height) finally opened his eyes and to Apollo's surprise he recognized them.

Deep chocolate brown eyes, full of fear and- determination? A desperate look that Apollo only saw in the most scarred of demigods, in the ones that fought wars and lived to tell the tale.

Apollo gently removed his arms and instantly he lunged for the cane behind him, an item Apollo had paid no attention to although he wish he had.

"Who are you?" His voice coarse like he had been screaming prior to Sally finding him. The kid's eyes darted in between all of them. It reminded Apollo too much of those times Artemis and him had cornered countless men desperate to escape from their crimes.

The kid licked his lips and tried again, "Who ARE you?"

Before Apollo could do something unsavory, Sally stepped in.

"Why don't you tell us who you are sweetie?" Her voice soft and calming, it reminded Apollo of Leto's own voice and the way she'd coax him out of disorienting visions when he was a young god.

Sally continued to coax the young boy into at least unfurling and into a more comfortable position, although the grip on his fancy cane never wavered.

"My name is Zane. Zane Obispo."

and if I made fanart for an obscure book series made for actual children. what then

[dreamriordanverseunboxings]

Story time - I’ve been watching Harry Potter themed mystery box uboxings for awhile. However, I no longer want to support Harry Potter and she-who-must-not-be-named.

So I decided to see what other books or fandoms have inspired that kind of content, and… nothing quite to the extent that the wizarding universe has (superheroes have some fun things, but not the same level of creativity in theme boxes!). But you know what has super rich world building AND upcoming live action projects? Percy Jackson’s world and the worlds of the Rick Riordan Presents line.

I also recently learned more about the insane world of funko pops and Disney pin trading/mystery pins. And I discovered the joy of stickers.

Now, after at least three years of this idea bouncing around my head, I’m finally writing some of my dream Riordan-verse unboxing items down 😅

This is all fictional, if I have particular inspirations I’ll link them. This is also helping me make it through my pile of unread books, so I’m probably going to be starting with more of the Presents titles.

I noticed this tiny detail that made me feel kind of sick about Hunter. (It’s about his scars and abuse so if that stuff is triggering don’t read this)

In Labyrinth Runners we see a bunch of students with injuries that could left scars,

But thanks to healing magic these students fine,

Before Thanks to Them we knew he had at the very least a scar on his face and his ear was nicked. In Thanks to Them there were a lot of other scars revealed. 

We also know that Hunter was most likely abused physically by Belos based on how he flinches a lot when he moves around him, 

this is also more obvious in Any Sport in a Storm

So it’s clear that he’s probably been hurt by Belos physically at least once. Probably more based on the number of scars. But he shouldn’t even have so many scars if healing magic can make injuries like these simply disappear. Even if Belos didn’t necessarily cause these scars to exist, he denied Hunter medical help. Which means Belos probably didn’t allow Hunter’s injuries to be treated properly, despite there being literally no reason not to. He has the whole Healers Coven to help him if he wants as well as the Emperors Coven, which practices all sorts of magic. The Emperors Coven I’m sure is full of healers who are prodigies let into it because of their ability. 

It’s a small detail, but it is really telling of how abusive Belos was to Hunter.

Storm

Thomas

There was only so much a child could do around the safe haven before their worst enemy, boredom, caught up with them. This was what y/n was going through. Laying by the open door of her and Thomas's place with her head hanging off the step, she watched everything past her. She was about to go nap when she spotted Newt in the distance. Y/n jumped up and closed the door before she ran after him.

"Newt! Newt! Wait for me!" She called to him as she tried to catch up with him. Newt stopped when he heard her and turned.

"Y/n!" He called her with his arms open wide for her to jump into. She jumped into them with a big smile and put her arms around his neck. "What can I do for you?" He continued as he smiled at her.

"I'm bored," She told him, her head leaned back. "Can you entertain me?" Newt was questioned as she looked back at him.

"Tell you what, if you can find something to do, I will find Thomas and Minho," Newt started,

"But why can't you do it now?" Y/n interrupted him.

"If you let me finish," Newt said as he tickled her before he continued. "I will see if they have finished what they need to, and then we will find you."

Y/n sat in his arms as she thought about it before she nodded and asked to be put down as she knew what she wanted to do while she waited. Newt smiled as he watched her go, and then he turned to find Thomas and Minho. He spoke to them and Frypan. They all decided to put up a small bonfire away from the big one. As they talked and made plans, y/n was in the flower fields. Gally, who was doing some rounds, made his way over to her after he saw her.

"What you doing pipsqueak?" He questioned her as he kneeled to her height. She huffed as she looked at him because of the nickname before she smiled at him.

"Look what I found!" Y/n excitedly held the flowers up and nearly knocked Gally over. He moved back, so as not to ruin the flowers and smiled back.

"Who are they for?"

"Thomas!" She said as if it were the most obvious fact.

Gally made a face of understanding before he decided to stay with her. He had completed his tasks for the day anyway. He was shown nearly every flower y/n picked and even got given one. They enjoyed their time together, they did not notice Thomas as he made his way to them. Gally and y/n turned when they heard a laugh and y/n ran to him as she called his name.

Thomas stopped Gally as he walked past and whispered to him. Y/n tilted her head at them when they looked at her. Gally nodded and ruffled y/n hair before he made his way back to camp. They watched for a few moments before y/n tugged Thomas's top and held up the flowers she picked for him. Thomas took them after he picked her up and started questioning about her day.

They arrived back at camp and Thomas walked over to the small bonfire. Newt, Minho, Frypan and Gally sat around it as they chatted and laughed. He joined them and placed y/n down as he sat. She shot straight over to Newt and passed him a flower before doing the same to Minho and Frypan.

"There once was a place that we all met," Newt began the story grabbing y/n's attention immediately from her conversation with Minho, who was joking about the flower being fuel for the fire. "It wasn't pleasant to begin with, we lost a lot of friends." Newt and the others gave a sad smile to this. "We found a way to live and things looked up and we found a way to get along and improve things we needed." As Newt told the story Minho, Frypan and Gally joined in when they thought it appropriate, y/n was hooked on every word.

"When did Thomas join you?" Y/n asked when they had stopped to have a drink. They laughed at this.

"Your brother released a storm with his arrival," Newt told her after he stopped laughing. He got a confused head tilt in return.

"A storm we needed to be released," Minho added.

"A storm I didn't want but I'm now glad came," Gally said as he smiled at Thomas.

"I guess that's why you connected to him," Frypan said and everyone looked at him. "You a hurricane. You belong together."

Everyone laughed apart from y/n who looked at Thomas. She watched him before she jumped on him knocking him off his seat. Thomas grunted before he looked at her.

"What's this about?" He questioned.

"Hurricane and storm," Y/n said smiling big at him. "I love it."

The end.

It’s a really small thing, but I really like that the Emerald Entrails are together in the group shot. I feel like if the series wasn’t shortened we could have gotten more of them as a group, but for what time we had I really like what they managed. From Skara and Viney insisting on saving Hunter in Labyrinth Runners, and Willow, Viney, and Skara being so willing to trust them Hunter even though their last interaction he betrayed them. To the fact they clearly remained close given the fact that they are the closest to Hunter, Willow, and Gus in the group shot. I just think it’s super cute.

Thunder and Clear Sky are fighting and oh no! Clear Sky seems to be winning? But what’s this?? IT’S SLASH WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!

Funny enough I WAS actually planning a moment like that with the Wind Coalition. I might shuffle it now...

It was going to be one of the first times Bumble really showcases how good her ability to translate is. Thunder Storm was trying to painfully negotiate with Shadow's Group, or gets in some scuffle with Sky's Clan again (was still working out the details) and JUST as it seemed lost, Bumble shouted "HELP! MURDER!" in Parkmew, causing a cluster of WindCo cats to burst to the rescue

But maybe instead I can shuffle it so that there's a moment towards the very, very end of the diplomacy section where Clear Sky brings his WHOLE forces to destroy the tiny Clan, and THAT is when Thunder and Slash realize they've been pitted against each other.

Hmm... maybe I should back up and cause some sections in that diplomacy arc where Tall Shadow and The Wind Runner offer what Thunder needs in their talks, in exchange for being mercenaries against Slash's cats. Thunder accepts several times, since he was in Clear Sky's group where he "saw that it's true, theyre violent and aggressive..."

Show how it can benefit him to accept what the other groups believe about Slash and his cats, but also REJECT it by showing that in the end, it oppresses BOTH Thunder and Slash to be fighting each other and Thunder was completely wrong to accept their words at face value.

Thunder Storm isn't immune to being an enforcer of the systems he created a Clan to reject.

I think it would also be really good form to change Slash's name a little, because he's SO BAD in the original text, just to differentiate what I'm doing with him.

Hmm... since none of the other groups seem to have a Leader Power yet since they're so new, maybe SLASH and his group is the one with a little bit of magic? I could have Slash be able to die a couple of times.

I could have the white marks on his legs spread up every time he takes damage. Instead of straightforward "lives," however bad it was determines how vertical the slash is. So a REALLY bad death stands straight up, while every drain from weakness or starvation just loops around the leg.

Kinda like one of those heartbeat monitors.

Maybe the other groups call him Slash because of that, but it's not his real name...

[apollogies-p]

This place has too little content on The Storm Runner so as someone who is also a part of the TOA fandom I give you this,

Apollo bored out of his mind and after a particularly harsh argument with his father, flees to what would become modern day Yucatan and during his small stroll comes across Itzamná, Mayan god of the Sun. The relationship quickly becomes familial, Itzamná becoming the father figure Apollo soon lost.

Stuff from my old writing book part #5 ?

This is so precious to me, because they were in the middle of a war and he fell in love with the girl who was trying to take over his father's throne.
