So I know I haven't written here in ages but I had a lot going on. School takes up a lot of my time when I'm not fighting off zombies being made by The Cunt (I refuse to use my grandmother's name anymore), trying to kill The Cunt, having an impromptu birthday party thrown by my drunk mother and aunts (I love them but seriously what is it with everyone and getting drunk?), teaching Tigre about drugs, meeting my cousin Medusa (who is now a head on a shield), settling in Harry's new lioness, fighting off ink things trying to kidnap a princess, or trying to be civil towards Meg (who has since left the island-more on that in a bit.)
In recent news Meg left. Something about her mother. Jack went AWOL for a bit but seems to have moved on nicely...he's got a crush on the Greek goddess of Vengeance and the Hunt. Hope he treads lightly cause I like my cuz and don't want him dead. We have two new members of our band, Ken and Kal. Kal is a Deva and Ken a Kami. Ken also happens to be married to my now best friend Neala. Neala is another daughter of Manannan and a lot like me. She great to hang out with...and we're both pregnant. Bast removed my ward against it and I am now pregnant with a little girl we are calling Eveylin Nicole. I was shocked and scared at first...Harry was too...but now I'm just happy. She will grow up with so many people loving her it blows my mind, and Harry will be a wonderful father.
We're demigods now...which meant new toys. Da and Ma upgraded my weapons and gave me a set of hot armor as well as wings that got for my birthday. Also they released Orpheus and instead tied Hector to my weapons...I apparently look just like his dead wife which is awkward and he kinda stares when not in my weapons...hope Harry's not the jealous type.
Oh and the Norse pantheon and their Scions have all died thanks to some titan's bitch of a granddaughter...but Neala and her cousins are dealing with that cause we are in Mexico dealing with titanspawn of some sort AND Tigre meeting his brother, Cortez. Who as it turns out is kinda not entirely responsible for all the things he did...and Tig is having a rough time with that.
And that's where we are now...in Mexico trying to sort some mess out between two tribes. One bloodthirsty the other calmed down and peaceful...should be interesting, life always is for us.

February is more calm but more important.
Oh the calm is wonderful! Since cutting out the drama my grades have gone back to A's and if I keep up the work I should end the year with honors. I'm still debating entering a diving competition. Jack and Harry think I should and I value their opinion over anyone else's so we'll see.
Middle of the month I found Tigre and we had another talk. He had been reading up on the other pantheon's beliefs and stories as well as his new girlfriend, Hawt, teaching him about the Egyptians. The conversation moved onto Cortez and him finding out that a man he had hated for so long ended up being his brother. Cortex had been corrupted by the titan Aten and the musket Tigre now had used to be his. I encouraged him to ask his Da about Cortez and he said his Da would likely send him to hunt the information rather than just tell him. I replied I would help him if I could when the time came. Tigre is turning out to be one of my best friends, and I told him about what it was like growing up. I told him dealing with people is only a recently learned skill and what I don't know I fake. I am trying to take the attitude of without how I grew up I would not be me, but told him I would kill my grandmother if I ever got the chance and he said he would be there to help. We talked about Chi and her unfiltered opinions before Hawt texted him and he left.
Harry had the hot tub put in for Valentine's Day and we had a lot of fun breaking it in that night. Then the 23rd rolled around. Why do I remember the exact date you ask? Well I'll tell you why. I had made my third full dinner ever thanks to Zee's lessons and Harry really liked it. When we finished I told him about the first time he walked into the classroom. I felt my heart skip a beat and when he called on me I was so damn nervous I had butterflies doing loop-the-loops in my stomach. But I thrive under pressure and did my best to hide it. It wasn't what he asked of me it was THAT he asked me. I felt drawn to him from day one and was worried he would see it and think I was one of those creepy, clingy, stalker girls. He told me he was a little worried I may have a stalker streak and that's part of why he invited me on the investigation he was working on. Somehow he managed to get me sidetracked from where I was going with that to talking about his 'roommate' but I brought us back to it and just said it. I told him I loved him. I've felt it since the night I found him nearly dead and he said "I thought there was something unhidden in your eyes when I woke. The sight has never left me, your beauty and love radiating from your soul. I love you too Korina." I felt my heart sing with joy at those words. I loved him and he loved me back. He looked me in the eye and gave me a soul searching look that I knew to well and I teased him for using my look to which he replied "And so the teacher becomes the pupil." and kissed me with more passion and fire than I ever felt from him. That night was amazing and it is burned into my heart and mind forever.

Dram-uary...
SO in early January Meg held her first 'magic' class. I went cause I said I would but really the subject matter bores me. I mean magic is for little kids. The next day I got a call to come over to Meg's to help cat-sit Chi cause the boys were taking Tigre out...I hope they go easy on him. We took Chi to go get some food and met Hawt, one of Harry's sisters who turned out to be new to the island and had 3 cats of her own. She invited herself back with us and pulled out this relic horn she 'borrowed' from her mother. She and Meg were curious about it and even though I told them not to they fucked with it and cats exploded from it, tearing a hole in Meg's roof. The guys showed up and I introduced Harry and Tig to his sister. They sorted out the cat mess and I took my drunk boyfriend home. They boys got thrown out but wouldn't say more than that about what happened.
About a week later Jack finally told Meg about his age thing and she flipped the fuck out. Jack fled and I calmed Meg down and we went searching for him. I tracked him to the water and told Meg to wait while I went to talk to him. I found him in a cave under the water where he was running tests on the drugs we had been finding. He and I argued and I pushed his buttons like he pushed mine until he tried to swim out. I asked the water to push him back and it did. We argued some more about how he is NOT his father but then I saw his face pale and looked to see Meg in the water...WHY THE FUCK CAN'T SHE EVER DO AS TOLD!? He pulled her out and she slapped him for lieing then kissed him, trying to get him to see that she still loved him. I quietly stiffened the water again as they started to work this out. He revealed he slept with guys too and I was impressed with how Meg ignored it and kept him on task and pressing him to answer her if he loved her. He tried to lie to her and say he didn't and when she pressed again he broke down crying. I left after an hour when I was sure Jack was done fighting her. I hated watching Jack like that. He's my cuz, and I love him. Having to say the things I did...
Another week passed and Jack called to meet for coffee. We went to the place on the pier and walked to the end to talk. He wanted me to ignore a lie he would tell and wanted Meg to hate him. He didn't want to talk up here so we went to his cave to talk about it. He was hoping to 'betray' us and get in with this mysterious drug scion and needed Meg to hate him for real so it would be easier on her. I was really concerned for his safety so I sat down by the water's edge and tried to get a vision to come to me. I saw death and got to ask questions to clarify. It told me he could not succeed as things stood and there was nothing we could do to make it work.
After all that I suggested we go diving to have fun since he cooped himself in that cave all week. We stripped down and did some dives before floating and talked about me possibly competing in NY in a few months. I've been toying with the idea but we'll see...and that's where the day went south. Meg showed up on the beach and saw our clothes and assumed we were fucking each other. She tried to storm off, Jack chased her, and the fought for a second before splitting off. I almost went after her but you know what? I had had enough. I was so gods damned sick of picking up her pieces and fixing her. Fuck this I am EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD! I should not be stuck coddling some SEVENTEEN year old who FLIPS out at EVERYTHING. I grabbed my stuff, showered and grabbed Uncle D's wine before going to the park and draining half the bottle before Meg showed up. She started yelling about how I was a horrible person for screwing her boyfriend, and I got her to shut up by yelling back at her about how stupid, immature, insecure and jealous she was. She left and I think I finished the bottle before passing out. When I came to I was in Jack's arms and puked on him before seeing Zee and Meg there. I had finally had enough and got out of his arms and turned to them both and told them I could no longer take it. Jack was my cuz and so long as it was not Meg related I would be here for whatever he needed. To Meg I told her I was done. I was cutting her out of my life cause it was s tress I just could not handle anymore. I don't think she thought I was serious either. Zee knocked us out again and I snuck out the window of the room she put me in when I awoke and went home...funny I already was all moved in with him now and it was more of a home than I had ever had. I got home and told him what happened and what I planned to do about it and we snuggled on the couch to watch Scrubs.
SO needless to say January was filled with drama...hopefully I managed to cut some of it out.

The last weeks of the year.
When we returned I came to Harry's and found him laying out in the garden. He looked troubled so I sat down and asked what was bothering him. He told me he was worried that we had not been using protection and I froze. I hadn't even thought about it. I was just to into enjoying my time with him it never crossed my mind that I was not on anything and we didn't use a condom. He told me not to worry but of course I'm a woman...I worry. So to changed the subject to my plans for tattoos/piercings. He said so long as I didn't turn into Meg or a cat he was fine, and we spent the night watching the stars until I fell asleep in his arms.
The next day Meg wanted to go shopping which was fine since I needed to go see Rhine anyway. She want to get so lingerie and I managed to shop with her without laugh at her. That girl is so naive. But I found some stuff for me too and it was nice to be buying something to surprise Harry with. After we paid we went to Rhine's shop and I got 4 studs in my eyebrow, a belly button ring, my nipples done, and angel wings tattoo'd on my back. Meg freaked a little at the nipple piercing and didn't get it but Jack showed up and they went off together...which was fine with me as I seem to be getting a shorter and shorter temper with her.
When I went to Harry's that night I have to say...we skipped dinner and went right to dessert. He loved the new lingerie and those nipple piercings...oh I am SOOOO glad I got those. Best night ever (well up to this point.) We didn't even sleep just kept going till almost lunch time the next day.
The following day I went to the range to practice some more and found Jack there. He was doing target work so I stepped in and taught him about breathing control and patience. He got a bit better and I was glad to help my cuz. We quickly switched to melee training and both of us were off. So I asked what was bothering him and he suggested we go for coffee and talk. He told me he was actually 28, that when Apollo came to him he had stopped aging and I told him my fears of being pregnant. HE informed me I wasn't and made it so I could not get pregnant. I told him since he and Meg had slept together (she told me earlier in the day) he really needed to tell her and that I would be there if he wanted me to. We talked a little about her distaste for fighting and how he worries about that since it seems to be such a big part of him. I pointed out that we were Scions and even with the war long gone we are Fated to fight...it's what we do. And Meg would have to get over that and accept it. I told him I could never see him loosing control so much he would harm her and frankly I was more worried we would get in a tight spot, Meg would flip out and he would stop fighting to comfort her leaving us to deal with something we could not handle.
The caffeine was kicking in so we went diving and Jack, of course, bested me in that. I think his Greek skills tend toward athletic pursuits instead of reading people like mine seem to. After some showing off on his part I remarked how had things been different he and I could have ended up together. But between Demeter's curse and my own loneliness he had backed off and decided against it. He asked how we were related and I told him our family tree was so damn twisted I gave up long ago trying to sort it out.
When I left I texted Harry asking if he wanted me to grab dinner while I was out and got our Chinese and headed to his place. He was in the garden again and I told him about Meg and Jack hooking up as well as the fact that (praise the gods) I was not pregnant and on divine BC. We ate and talked about how we had both changed since the start of the term, then I asked if he minded if I kept some thing here to make it easier when classes started back. He said he could clear a drawer for me and I felt my butterflies flip flop in my stomach. We went in and he turned on old Scrubs reruns while I quickly did dishes before joining him on the couch and fell asleep in his arms.
The rest of the break was quiet. I spent a lot of time with Harry and started to pester Zee about teaching me to cook before classes started back.

An abrupt end to the trip.
So we decided today was the day we needed to find the lizardmen and end this. Harry and I got on Arion and took sky patrol while Tigre, Dom, and Tabitha took to the ground. Meg, of course, decided to stay at camp and wait on Jack. We got to the first camp which appeared to be picked clean and headed west. I saw a large camp about a mile ahead so I landed Arion and told them what I saw.
That's when we started having issues. Dom had a ridiculous idea of me scouting on Arion...hello..I'd be spotted since you can't hide anywhere in the sky. Then came the argument of how to handle the camp when we reached a 30ft wide stream. Tigre wanted to go off by himself and make a distraction so the rest of us could sneak in. I worried what would happen if he bit off more than he could handle with no one to back him up and suggested we pick off the guards along the perimeter as a group...running in like a rampaging bull would do no good. Suddenly we heard a patrol coming so I lept across the river...the others just sloshed through it so I quickly reached down and told the water to be still.
Tigre caught a scent and rushed forward in time for a lizard man to dive into a tree and come up at the top. Chi lept up after it and while Tigre came back to use. He wanted to try his original plan modified with someone going with him and this time I agreed. But it seems we took to long because we were surrounded by lizardmen. Harry and I took aim and then Dom did one of the stupidest things I've seen...he tried to chop a tree the lizardman was in down! HELLO ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL THE REST OF THE CAMP WHERE WE ARE!? If that tree had fallen it would have given us away for SURE! But thank the gods it didn't and an arrow flew at him.
We decided on retreat with Tigre and I covering the group as Arion would fly him and I out if need be. As the group retreated I summoned Arion and pulled Tigre up with me and took to the sky to continue covering the group. For some reason as we neared camp Dom stopped and felt the need to try to ambush them....when up from the ground a lizard man came and bit into his crotch! I called Jack immediately and Tigre lept off Arion to grab Dom. I told him we we're coming in hot and to be ready. When we got there he and Meg were with a mushroom woman and when the lizards arrived they stopped and did not enter our camp.
Suddenly there was a loud clap and spores rained down from no where covering the lizardmen and turning them to piles of ooze. She told us she had killed everything in the area and suggested we leave before Gaea showed up as she would be angry so we gathered our things after Jack stitched up Dom and went home.

...high ho the dairy-o a hunting we will go.
So we had a week of nothing but hunting while we mulled over the drug issue and at some point while I was out alone, Tigre came to talk to me. He wanted to know what girls find attractive about boys...but he put in in terms like animals. I chuckled inside cause it makes sense in his mind for things to work like that...humans aren't that far removed from animals after all. I told him each girl was different and it was more than one thing. For instance I like intelligence, wisdom, and levelheadedness while Meg seems to like em silly, athletic, and cute. Apparently though he had thought of asking Meg out but decided against it, especially when she and Jack seemed to be getting close...and he knew Harry and I were together. I couldn't even lie to him about because he could smell our scents on each other.
The conversation turned to pantheon views and he told me about why his does sacrifices. He stated it like fact and insisted it was not belief based just how things were. I told him I tended to view things as all the pantheons are right. What each does to keep the world going IS needed, but it was up to us Scions to do what is needed not the mortals at large. It is his duty to perform sacrifices but that does not make it mine to do so for I am Greek. He told me of a vision his father showed him of how his civilization rose without human blood but at that same time the rest of ours fell. So they went back to using humans again. I told him that I felt all of our civilizations fell because Fate felt we got too arrogant and needed to be brought to our knees and humbled, because all of them fell to Christianity or Islam, including the Aztecs.
A day after that Harry and I spent some time alone at the hot spring...it was nice and relaxing, and it was nice to be able to focus on making him happy. We both agreed a hot tub is a must for back home...but I was just enjoying the time with him....
...sorry drifted off into dreamland again. Anyway a few days later I was diving off Arion with Harry watching when Meg woke up screaming. Turns out Jack and Andy were missing. She rang his phone and I got it out of his tent to find Athena calling him too. I hung up Meg's call and answered my aunt. Athena had training to start with Jack. Of course when Meg heard Athena's name she got all jealous and such...I really need to talk to her about that before she drives Jack off.
We followed a trail of black ooze to a camp where we saw some giants and men milling about and a mass grave of corpses. Meg freaked out and I quickly took her from the situation. We had surprise on our side and I refused to let her ruin it! Once she was calm I set up with Tig and Harry and we fired in harmony at one of the giants. We finished off one, and lept onto Arion sweeping a group of thralls before they finished off the last giant. Suddenly from the pile of bodies someone lept out covered in shit, gore, and blood screaming "REVENGE OF THE GOLGATHAN!!!" ...yeah that had to be Jack. The lizard man dove into the earth fleeing so I circled looking for signs of him and when he popped out I went after him and took him out. I brought his corpse back for Tigre. I told Jack when he was clean to come find me and that Athena had called him.
When we got back to camp I couldn't sit still and paced on the beach before an urge hit me. I walked out into the ocean and stretched my hand out and a volleyball sized ball of water floated up to my hand. Wow is all I can say!

He told me of a vision his father showed him of how his civilization rose without human blood but at that same time the rest of ours fell. So they went back to using humans again. I told him that I felt all of our civilizations fell because Fate felt we got too arrogant and needed to be brought to our knees and humbled, because all of them fell to Christianity or Islam, including the Aztecs.
A day after that Harry and I spent some time alone at the hot spring...it was nice and relaxing, and it was nice to be able to focus on making him happy. We both agreed a hot tub is a must for back home...but I was just enjoying the time with him....
...sorry drifted off into dreamland again. Anyway a few days later I was diving off Arion with Harry watching when Meg woke up screaming. Turns out Jack and Andy were missing. She rang his phone and I got it out of his tent to find Athena calling him too. I hung up Meg's call and answered my aunt. Athena had training to start with Jack. Of course when Meg heard Athena's name she got all jealous and such...I really need to talk to her about that before she drives Jack off.
We followed a trail of black ooze to a camp where we saw some giants and men milling about and a mass grave of corpses. Meg freaked out and I quickly took her from the situation. We had surprise on our side and I refused to let her ruin it! Once she was calm I set up with Tig and Harry and we fired in harmony at one of the giants. We finished off one, and lept onto Arion sweeping a group of thralls before they finished off the last giant. Suddenly from the pile of bodies someone lept out covered in shit, gore, and blood screaming "REVENGE OF THE GOLGATHAN!!!" ...yeah that had to be Jack. The lizard man dove into the earth fleeing so I circled looking for signs of him and when he popped out I went after him and took him out. I brought his corpse back for Tigre. I told Jack when he was clean to come find me and that Athena had called him.
When we got back to camp I couldn't sit still and paced on the beach before an urge hit me. I walked out into the ocean and stretched my hand out and a volleyball sized ball of water floated up to my hand. Wow is all I can say!

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go...
So we have this hunting trip on New Terra. Turns out there is something killing off the predators and the it is throwing off the ecosystem. So we are to thin the herds and find out what is killing them. Meg of course was not happy with the prospect of killing off the cute ones, and Tigre and Chi were glad to get back to some normalcy (for them.)
We stepped through a portal and were there. We stowed our stuff and the Major said we'd start scouting. Tigre took off to find the cats and talk with them, so Harry and I went another way so we did not disturb them.
It was a nice walk for a bit. I took his hand and we found a tree that could give us a good view of the area. I'm glad we can walk n silence without it feeling awkward. I don't understand some people's need to constantly chat...why can't you just enjoy someone's presence. I lept up and grabbed a branch and swung myself up. Harry climbed after me, and got a nice view of my ass. After some playful teasing we spotted a waterfall and some wild pigs coming our way. We took out three as they ran by and climbed down when they cleared the area. Some Kobalds showed up to take the pigs we killed and seemed to indicate there was trouble back at camp and we headed back.
We got to camp and Winter told us something was wrong with Tigre so we headed the way he did. When we got to him there was a dead jaguar. She had been with cubs and a Raksasha had killed her. He wanted to make them pay and after staring at the corpse I couldn't help but agree. This was wrong. Someone had killed her and ripped the young from her belly...it was horrible.
Meg used her Magic and Tigre his scent to track them to a crossing point. Tigre asked Harry and I to go with him and the group split again. It led us to a waterfall that flowed up instead of down. We lept in and saw wolves fighting a lizard man. We took out the lizard man together and it's body disappeared leaving behind a vile of liquid. It was getting dark so I led them back to camp.
That night Meg was bothered by a dream from her dad. He wants her to cement relations with Jack it seems. She was scared (duh!) so I told her what my first time was like and re-assured her that no it doesn't make her a slut.
The next day the Major took the boys hunting and would not let me go with them...I was LIVID. But Winter found a hot spring so swimming there helped me ease my anger. Eventually I met Winter's 'inner self' and she asked me to keep Meg from telling Winter about her. I pulled Meg aside and relayed the message to which she freaked out and shouted about 'why does no one trust me?' and got out of the water. I followed her and shouted it wasn't about her, that not everything is about her...she can be such a selfish child sometimes...and she tried to slap me before gathering her clothes and walking further into the woods. Suddenly she screamed for help and I found a huge deer about to gore her. I shot it between the eyes and Winter made an ice spike impale it.
When we reached camp I called Harry because the deer had a yellow drug in darts in it's back. Harry came back and Jack finally woke up and came out of the boys tent in time to discuss the new drug. harry asked to see where it happened so we took them to the spring. As Harry looked over the site Meg and Jack started flirting and went to the spring...I think they forgot how close it was cause we heard everything they did (or didn't do *snicker*) We followed the train a bit that led west before returning to camp again.
