The Trees (PRIVATE); minor boo spoilers

Minor BoO Spoilers

Jason was leaning against a tree with his beach bag, at midnight. He was thinking about everything that had happened to him within the past couple months or so. He thought about his father's death, a while ago. He thought about Tara Harrington. He thought about Disney and the Romans, and the college at New Rome. He had been in the forest since dinner, originally planning to go to the beach, but then went to the forest for a reason he still couldn't understand. He figured he just needed a place to think. And then he started watching the animals, and he talked to them. And then he started getting tired. Then he had fallen asleep for about fifteen minutes, before a couple of deer nearby woke him up accidentally.

After thinking for a few more moments, he got up, brushing himself off. He wasn't going to go to the beach now, there were too few people there at this time. He started heading to his cabin, when he heard a growl from behind him. He dropped his gym bag, turning to two Cyclopes, looking ready to attack. He didn't know how well they could see at a time like this, with only one eye, but he wasn't taking any bets. But, he didn't exactly bring any weapon with him. They started charging toward him, and his first instinct was to use magic against them.

He saw a small stump to his left, and used his magic to blow it up. He started running, panickly climbing a nearby tree, but he wasn;t exactly built for being a monkey, so he only made it up about ten feet. One of the Cyclops started charging towards the tree, and he quickly went down. He dodged it again, but barely. The other one circled him; he looked at both, and knew this was it.

Jason saw the Cyclopes leave him and go after another figure. He looked around- he needed a plan, quickly. He got a stick and threw it at one of the Cyclops. When it turned his attention to him, he saw what he could do; he could trap it. If he couldn't kill it than what other choices did he have? How he would trap it, he had no idea. The Cyclops started making its way towards Jason, and he realized that he could use the animals around to his advantage. But then that would only hold it off; he'd need some way to- and as he looked around to think of more ways to trap it, he saw a bloody Celestial Bronze knife in the moonlight, stuck in a tree, about five yards away. He quickly dodged the Cyclops, breathing heavily; his luck was gonna run out eventually. He ran towards the tree, grabbed the knife, and jumped on the Cyclops, stabbing where its heart should be. The golden blood like substance came out, and it fell on the forest floor, creating a big boom! Jason stabbed its eye, officially killing it.

Wiping some golden monster-blood off of him, he tried to find Dian and the other Cyclops. When he saw the Cyclops, he went after it's knee. Stabbing it, the Cyclops fell on one knee.

Jason, finishing it off, studied the Cyclops for a second. It soon disinegraded. He stared at it for a second, thinking about it in Tartarus. He then looked up to the boy before him. He only heard of the kid once or twice, Dian Rhye. He was confused why he was approaching him. He was pretty sure that it was to thank him, but he didn't say anything.

"Sup, I'm Jason Sungo. And you are?" he asked him, curious to know if the Dian boy would actually introduce himself.

Jason looked at the knife he used to kill the Cyclops. He put it down, not actually sure who's it was; and he didn't need anyone p'ed at him for stealing their knife. He kicked it to the side, so it didn't look like someone used it; then he realized the person would instantly know from the blood on the blade. He looked back up at Dian.

ooc: shorttt ):

"Cool. And, oh- uh, no problem?" Jason asked, a bit confused. The dude was trying to like, avoid him for some reason. Maybe he accidentally stole his girlfriend one time or something. "Yo, dude. I think we make a pretty great team," he said- it wasn't true, he kinda did all the work while Dian ran away like a scaredy cat five year old, but he was trying to make conversation. Dian did kinda save his life, and vise versa. "You saved my life with that excellent plan of going off and running- I mean, distracting the other Cyclops, knowing I could deal with one. Let me buy ya a pizza or something."

After thinking for another minute, he had a Plan B, in case the Dian dude objected. "You know, they'll be a lot of girls there. News around camp spreads fast. Before you know it, girls could be swarming you." Why he insisted on getting to know this dude, he didn't know. He felt as if he could help Dian raise in popularity.

"Oh, I see," Jason said, about ready to just walk away; he wasn't going to stand his sour attitude and stand here and beg to help Dian. That would just be stupid. Now that he thought back to it, he had risen a lot of people's popularity levels, accidentally, actually; Dian would be the first he rose up to his level purposely. He saw a potential cool guy in Dian. A potential popular guy, ladies man, etc.

"Pizza sounds good. I say we go right now, then- it's always the best to eat pizza at midnight." He grinned, almost forgetting for a second he was covered in monster blood. Yet he didn't really care. You know, except for the fact it was a disgusting substance to feel on his skin. But he'd been through worse. He wiped some off of his forehead before saying,

"we better get going, before we get attacked again. Two demigods' scent are stronger than one, like, twice as much- eh, that sounded a bit airheaded." He started making his way to the pizza place.
