A demigod. Really. The daughter of a god, a Greek one no less, instead of her mama and papa - they'd always be that to her, of course, but her birth mother or father was something entirely beyond that.

It scared her, how believable it was. Her name, her powers as a magic knight, hell, her personal color scheme all matched up. She'd given it a passing thought before, but there was probably one trait in there that led to all the others, or else Emeraude had a thing for thematic appropriateness in desperate situations.

Nope.

Frowning to herself, she kicked a stone, blessed with not being bothered by anything the moment she got down there. Umi wasn't a brainiac, she couldn't even keep the Roman vs Greek names of gods straight, but she was named for the sea and commanded water. So did that make Poseidon/Neptune her father? There were more minor gods, and that felt more appropriate to her, but many of those came back to the big man in the sea.

On top of all of that... this was a place to train their children, and they'd gone missing. Heck of a safe place to drag a bunch of people new to the very idea of being demigods. Really, they could've just asked if she wanted to come help and she likely would have done so but what about others? They couldn't all be born warriors, right?

...it was too much to think of, and at some point she just plopped herself down on a log, shaking her head and trying to make it cooperate.

"Never thought I'd have to talk about the genetics of gods..." Or if they have them at all, it's not as though these Greek gods make much sense. Maybe marginally more than Mokona.

"But if my parent is your parent's parent or vice-versa I won't be able to get it out of our head." But she's right about the lack of parents in common.

[hououji]

"I don't think the King of the Gods suits either of us." Seriously, either of them related to Zeus? Almost laughable.

"Let's not dwell on it. I can get you set up in Cabin 11, all right?"

[dragon_blossom]

"Neither of us are very... lightningy." Doesn't Hikaru shoot lightning too-never mind she doesn't even want to think about Hikaru being some jerk's daughter. She'll end up being like...

...

...she honestly has no idea. "Thanks. I need to get settled in for the long haul, I guess."

[hououji]

"Hopefully, you'll be claimed soon. There's a lot more room in the other cabins." A moment. "Unless you're in Cabin 11, anyway."

[dragon_blossom]

"Same to you. I don't think either of us are very Hermes, so I don't think we'll be crowded once we're claimed." Or living together any more, which is a bit of a shame.

[hououji]

"Cabin 11 is for everyone who isn't born to an Olympian, though. There's a higher chance of being in Cabin 11 than not." Ha...hahaha, stop it with the logic.

[dragon_blossom]

"Ooo, right. Shoot." Why are they so special? Stupid Olympians. "Maybe I should hope that my first guess is right then, just so I can have a little room to stretch my legs."

[hououji]

"I can't even think of who my parent might be. I thought, perhaps, Athena, but... her children have been claimed so fast." She looks at Umi. "Who do you think yours is?"

[dragon_blossom]

"If you're not a god of strategy and intelligence and things like that, then it's probably something to do with healing." You just stick out in her mind as the healer type, now that you've handled that role, Fuu.

"But me? Don't go talking about it, but if I have to guess, doesn't Poseidon seem fitting?"

[hououji]

"I was never much of a healer outside of Cefiro, though."

She considers Umi's idea. "He is the god of the sea... it would be much like your Mashin, wouldn't it?"

[dragon_blossom]

But she totally acts like it. Sort of? She's more goody-goody than Umi at least.

"Right. And my name." She is a sea dragon who fought with a water dragon god. "And my magic."

[hououji]

"I don't think we could count powers, could we? After all, the god of the skies and the wind..." She glances upward, a little concerned.

"I do think he might suit you, though..."

[dragon_blossom]

"Yeah, but you've got healing and stuff too. I'm a walking coincidence." Blue water ocean dragon girl. "And it's something I'd thought about before too."

[hououji]

"... I'd just love to stop speculating and actually have them acknowledge us..."

She sighs. A very deep sigh. It really upsets her that her mother or father hasn't bothered with her yet.

[dragon_blossom]

"That would be nice, but I guess they're all... busy being arrogant guys who live a million miles above all of us." Or at least they sure seem like the kind of arrogant jerks to act like that. "Who wouldn't want a daughter like you?"

[hououji]

Fuu turns a very embarrassed shade of red. "You know that isn't what I meant, Umi-san."

[dragon_blossom]

"Yeah, but I don't have very high expectations for them noticing us until we do something extraordinary." Which is probably blasphemous or something. Please don't blow her up, Zeus.

[hououji]

"I think we've done enough extraordinary things already."

[dragon_blossom]

"Here, I mean..." That makes Umi sigh a little. "We've already fought a lot though."

[hououji]

"If helping fight off a hellhound wasn't enough, I don't know what is."

[dragon_blossom]

"Ooh, I've missed a lot already haven't I?" C'mon Fuu parent. Don't be shy.

[hououji]

"I wouldn't say a lot. A few things..."

[dragon_blossom]

"I don't know what a hellhound is, but that already sounds like a big deal." ...maybe not compared to everything they fought in Cefiro, though.

[hououji]

"It is a monster from the underworld. It tore Nicolas-san's chest open with a bite."

[dragon_blossom]

"I... will assume that you wouldn't be saying that so casually if he didn't turn out alright." That sounds rough, though, and she winces. Being there to help out would've been nice.
