"Hey, that's my Adamant Arrowhead on you! Normally, it's for killing things, but in your case it makes it even easier for me to hunt you down, even in the dark. Now that I have found you… here!"
Happy new year everyone! We just had our Christmas yesterday (don't worry about it) and I need to show you what majesty @beauxoiseaux has handcrafted this time.
Also I have been using @xosailormars's usagi bun tutorial for like a decade now and it never steers me wrong
"Where did you come from?" I asked Percy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. "I've been here the whole time. Invisible." He said, he showed me Annabeth's cap. I mouthed a "Wooow. cool" I hoped he wouldn't hear it. I want to be a calm and chilled guy so he would like me more. But he seemed to not care. "How did you know Zoë and your sister were here?" I blushed. "I heard them walk by the Hermes cabin I don't...I don't sleep too well at camp. So I heard footsteps and them whispering. And so I kind of followed" I answered confusedly. "And now you're thinking about following them on the quest" He guessed. "How did you know..?" I asked.
He told me that if it was his sister, he would also go after her, but that I would be too young for such a dangerous quest. Even though I agreed or still do...(I think no child should ever be forced to do something so dangerous) I still wanted to watch out for Bianca.
"Maybe you're right. But...but you can go for me." I said. I knew he would go anyway. He tried to argue with me, that the Hunters didn't like boys and what if they found out etc. I told him that I knew that he wanted to go anyway.
"Yeah," he finally said, "I have to find Annabeth. I have to help, even if they don't want me to."
I smirked. "I won't tell on you!" I swore, "But you have to promise me to keep my sister safe."
"I...that's a big thing to promise, Nico, on a trip like this. Besides, she's got Zoë, Grover and Thalia-"
"Promise." I insisted
"I'll do my best. I promise that" he said. (Spoiler warning, I'm not sure if that was really his "best" but yeah...)
"Get going, then. Good luck" I said.
The sky started to get brighter while Percy put on Annabeth’s cap. "Tell Chiron-" "I'll make something up. I'm good at that. Go on" I smiled crookedly while I watched his foot prints in the snow, getting further away. A little later I pretended to get woken up by Bianca, to tell me goodbye and that she loved me and stuff like that... I was jealous and sad... I hugged her, let her kiss my forehead. If I just knew what I know now...
In lieu of a boon, can Artemis offer you a cosmic egg in this trying time?
It was Wellington Cosplay Photo Fest last weekend, and I dropped into work between shoots to cover a colleague’s lunch break while still in full costume XD
Hopefully I’ll have some proper location photos to share soon!
