[Platypus Reborn]

He stared at her hand for a second before realizing what she expected from him, "My- I a-am Nico...Di Angelo," he says as he shakes her hand.

That's a really cool name. Use it! Use it!

Shut up, writer side, we don't just go using people's names.

"Nice to meet you!"

Her hand was cold. Not just normal cold, but cold. Actually, if anyone had taken her temperature, it would have registered as nine degrees.

Her hand, it felt so weird, so dark. Although his hand was warmer then his usual cold temperature, some about her made him feel warm, he couldn't figure out what it was though. "Nice to meet you too," He said, but his face showed a bit of worry. Not that Nico could notice due to his unsocial personality.

She stared at him for a moment, raising an eyebrow.

"Is something wrong?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Y-yea, why do you always wear sunglasses?" He asks, something was up with this "Ely".

[Charlia]

She stared at him for a moment, raising an eyebrow.

"Is something wrong?"

"Y-yea, why do you always wear sunglasses?" He asks, something was up with this "Ely".

She smiled sadly.

"Because anyone who looks into my eyes regrets it."

[Platypus Reborn]

She smiled sadly.

"Because anyone who looks into my eyes regrets it."

"W-what do you mean," Nico asked. This peaked his curiosity.

[Charlia]

She smiled sadly.

"W-what do you mean," Nico asked. This peaked his curiosity.

She stared at him before sighing.

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

[Platypus Reborn]

"W-what do you mean," Nico asked. This peaked his curiosity.

She stared at him before sighing.

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

Nico lowered his voice, so people at other tables couldn't hear, "What makes you say that?"

[Charlia]

She stared at him before sighing.

"Trust me, you don't want to know."

Nico lowered his voice, so people at other tables couldn't hear, "What makes you say that?"

"Because my eyes are... special."

She shook her head.

"Nobody who looks into my eyes comes out unscathed."

[Platypus Reborn]

Nico lowered his voice, so people at other tables couldn't hear, "What makes you say that?"

"Because my eyes are... special."

She shook her head.

"Nobody who looks into my eyes comes out unscathed."

"You said you were something else besides Feaera, what else are you?" He asks.

[Charlia]

"Because my eyes are... special."

She shook her head.

"Nobody who looks into my eyes comes out unscathed."

"You said you were something else besides Feaera, what else are you?" He asks.

She sighed.

"You're not going to let this go, are you? Very well, then!"

She stared down at the table, slowly removing her glasses before lifting her head and staring directly into Nico's eyes.

For Nico, everything would go dark; everything except Ely, glowing with a terrible light, her eyes pitch black and blazing with some indecipherable emotion, tears of blood streaming down her face as blood spread slowly across her body. He would hear a long scream of agony, fury, and terror cut through the air; that would be all he could hear, her screaming. Seared into his mind would be an overwhelming feeling of pain, sorrow, fear, and rage.

Then she closed her eyes, and it would all stop, everything returning to normal as she replaced her glasses, as if nothing had happened.

"Yeah, I guess some would find that a bit scary," Nico said nonchalantly as he rubbed his eyes. "That did hurt a bit though, I think I'm getting a migraine."

[Charlia]

She sighed.

She stared at him in confusion.

"That's it? You're not going to scream or run or call me a freak or anything?"

She stared at him in confusion.

"That's it? You're not going to scream or run or call me a freak or anything?"

A small smile seemed to slip past Nico's attention, "I guess you could say that I'm a bit, uh, special too," He said.

A small smile seemed to slip past Nico's attention, "I guess you could say that I'm a bit, uh, special too," He said.

She smiled in return, her face practically glowing with happiness.

"Really? How? I--I mean it's okay if you don't want to tell me, I totally get it."

[Tomia]

'Sup Marius, how you been?" Belvina asked the auburn haired boy as he sat down next to her. They were both sea creatures, with the natural beauty and thrall of their species since sirens and mermaids belonged to the same family. Sirens had the problem though of being beautiful to anybody who looked and that made it difficult to find true partners.

"Good Bell, how about you?" The boy asked as he began to eat his breakfast. "I took a morning swim before coming here. That always makes me feel great to start the morning." Marius said with a smile. He was close to Bell, mainly because she didn't stare at him the way that other people, but he was still wary about taking their relationship any further. As a half-siren it was natural for Marius to fall in love very quickly, as he had already done a number of time at school. It was in his nature to seek out those relationships, but he hadn't been with a guy or girl in over 3 months, and even though he was starting to feel quite lonely, he couldn't trust any relationship to be real, so he spared himself the hurt of trying.

"Really? How? I--I mean it's okay if you don't want to tell me, I totally get it."

"I-I uh...," He looked down at the table. "I am-mmmm- I am a Demi-God" He finally said.

[Charlia]

She smiled in return, her face practically glowing with happiness.

"Really? How? I--I mean it's okay if you don't want to tell me, I totally get it."

"I-I uh...," He looked down at the table. "I am-mmmm- I am a Demi-God" He finally said.

Her eyes widened.

"That's so cool! So is it your dad or your mom? What pantheon? Are--ooh, sorry, too many questions..."

[Platypus Reborn]

"I-I uh...," He looked down at the table. "I am-mmmm- I am a Demi-God" He finally said.

Her eyes widened.

"That's so cool! So is it your dad or your mom? What pantheon? Are--ooh, sorry, too many questions..."

"No, I-it's uh fine, you told me your secret, so I guess I should tell you mine" He said and then sighed. "My father is from the Greek pantheon," he said.

[Charlia]

Her eyes widened.

"That's so cool! So is it your dad or your mom? What pantheon? Are--ooh, sorry, too many questions..."

"No, I-it's uh fine, you told me your secret, so I guess I should tell you mine" He said and then sighed. "My father is from the Greek pantheon," he said.

Her eyes widened even more.

"Ooh, let me think! Um, Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, um, um, Apollo, ah, Hermes, or..." Her eyes widened even more. "Hades?" she said with a note of awe in her voice.

His twinkle in his eye dulled and he looked harder at the table.

She dropped to her knees, bowing her head respectfully.

"My lord, I am yours to command."

[Holy Empire of Avalon]

James sat outside the art room, his back against the stone wall as his black hundred and fifty pound bag rested just off to his side and under his arm. He seemed peaceful, almost dead as he sat there with his eyes closed. Sweat plastered his hair against his forehead while the boy seemed deathly pale.

He did not feel tired, not hungry, nor thirsty, something was just gnawing at him from inside out like a disease infecting his body. Closing his eyes only yielded flashes of light and the crashes of explosions, so he was actually sleeping with his eyes wide open. A cold sweat broke out across his body as he just laid there trying to focus on anything he could see, the lines in the tile work to the very color of the walls, and then he thought deeper to the molecular level, James saw an atom and imagined the entire process by which a highly unstable atom is smashed into a nuclear explosion. Fire and ash. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Tsar Bomba. Cold War. Bay of Pigs. Berlin Wall. Synapses connected and soon again he was fighting off a swarm of echos as firearms blasted and nuclear silos prepared for launch. Startling back he realized he had passed out against the wall of the hallway; James prayed class started soon, he needed a distraction badly, without one he was on the brink of falling to pieces. At home he had the kids to distract him, but here he felt half a world away from those two little girls who depended so heavily on him.

[Platypus Reborn]

His twinkle in his eye dulled and he looked harder at the table.

She dropped to her knees, bowing her head respectfully.

"My lord, I am yours to command."

For once in a long time, Nico actually smiled. "Alright then, go buy me more cheerios then" He said with a smirk.

For once in a long time, Nico actually smiled. "Alright then, go buy me more cheerios then" He said with a smirk.

She nodded, and returned shortly with more of the cereal.

She was serious about it.

He graciously accepted the Cheerios from Ely with a smile, but then when he noticed her serious face, his smile instantly dropped.

"A-are you serious? Do you work for my father?!" He said in an angered tone.
