Casual Criminals

Being back in Camp Half-Blood was so nice. Although she had been living in New Rome for a few years now, seeing the gleaming marble buildings stretching all the way to the sea jolted her heart. This was home, and always would be. But for once, she wasn't back just to take a ride on a pegasus and catch up with her demigod friends. She was on a mission. So to say. Since the attacks on New Rome, she had put together a ragtag group of demigods, nymphs, satyrs and fauns to re-plant trees, protect local flora and fauna, and filter trash out of water. In short: operation save the planet. She needed as many people as possible, so she had decided to dip back to Camp Half-Blood.

"Hey," she said to the girl waiting for her. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Kyra, daughter of Aeolus," Jana Kay smiled cheerfully. "I know you. You gave me a run for my money in sparring a couple years back, remember?"
The daughter of Demeter had gotten much better in combat after moving to New Rome, but she remembered how swiftly children of wind gods could move. And swiftness was just what she needed on this mission.
Jana was wearing a pair of camouflage pants from the camp shop, which actually adopted the colours of the background. She hadn't put it on the top level yet so it looked like her upper body was floating in mid air only intermittently. Her long blonde hair was tied back into a bun and her sword hung at her side. Just in case.
"I've tied the pegasi a little lower, come this way," she said and disappeared into the thickets.

"Oh, sorry," she said and waved her hand. A slight tug in her stomach and the thickets parted in front of Kyra, letting her slip through without getting caught on thorns and branches. After a short walk they reached the place where she'd tied up two pegasi, one roan and one bay with a white spot on the forehead.

"Alright, let's go over the plan one more time. We're targeting these golf links right here," she said, showing her the spot on a map. "The goal is to mess it up beyond recognition with native wildflowers and trees. Your wind powers are going to be key to disseminate the seeds. Everything clear?"

"Perfect. This one's yours," Jana said, giving her the reigns to the nickering roan pegasus. She'd picked these pegasi because they were fast and easy to manage. A carrot here and there and they were as friendly as a capybara. Which was perfect for somebody who could make carrots grow with a snap of her fingers.

"One last thing," she said as she swung herself into the saddle. "This is a mortal-only mission so keep your phone on flight mode unless absolutely necessary. We don't want to attract any monsters."

She adjusted her leg straps, checked the time, and pulled on a Greek helmet with a shaggy crest of horsehair. The celestial bronze gave off a faint glow in the dark. She turned to Kyra and smiled through her helmet, "Ready?"
