Xan whispered to her as the campers started chattering among themselves, "I'm going to make a connection. It's necessary, as the only descendent of Vor and as a member of the council, for me to know every open thought of yours. I needed to warn you before, but only just so you can't close any memory or thought." Quickly he place a hand on her forhead and on her shoulder and the contents of her mind flooded into his own.
River looked with surprise and whispered to Jonas, "That's a lot of power for one guy. I'm guessing a descendent of Vor is rare then, if they get all this power." Nick over heard River and shot him a look and a nod, answering the question he asked Jonas.

Vivi took a deep breath, and gave a small nod.
Can't say I like having someone in my head, but I suppose I don't have much of a choice. Don't you dare say a word of anything you find to anyone that doesn't need to be told.
A couple memories flashed through her mind.
"But it's pouring outside! We'll be soaked!" Vivi exclaimed. "Who cares? Come on Vivi, it's not every day we get a chance to do something like this." Kyle said with a mischevious grin as he held his hand out to her. They were standing in the doorway of her cabin, a stormy grey sky overhead. She hesitated, but finally grinned and took his hand. They darted out into the rain, soon soaked in seconds.
Kyle led her towards the woods where no one would see them. The last thing they wanted was to get caught. They reached a small clearing, and Kyle pulled her close, wrapping his arms around. She shrieked as he lifted her up and twirled her around. Rain was dripping off of them, neither seemed to notice the weather. Kyle kissed her, pulling her as close as possible to him.
They danced around in the rain for several minutes, kissing, smiling, and laughing the entire time. "I don't want this night to end." She whispered. "Neither do I." He whispered back. "But we've gotta go in soon. If we're falling asleep tomorrow, people will get suspicous. And then we could never do this again." She gave a soft smile. "But we will do this again, right?" "How could we not?" He said, grinning again. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and they ran back to the cabins. They parted with a kiss and she reluctantly went inside, blowing him another kiss as she did. He playfully caught it, then pulled his hood up, and ran to his own.
But we never got another chance.... Vivi thought as the memory flashed through. She wanted to hide it from Xan, but she knew there was no way she could do that. Breathe a word of that to anyone Xan, and you'll be a dead man walking!
And though she tried to push it to the back of her mind, her most painful memory still rose to the surface.
"Vivi, he's gone." Cryptor, one of her half-siblings, said quietly. Her heart dropped. "He's not...he can't be..." "He thought he could take on the monstors. He couldn't. He was killed in the fight Vivi." "You're wrong!" Her sudden outburst made him and the couple other campers with him jump. "I wish we were. God, I so wish we were. But we aren't." Cryptor held out Kyle's sword, a little dried blood still on the blade. The remaining color in her face drained out as she stared at it.
Her hand found the dagger Kyle had given her for her birthday at her waist. Her knuckles turned white as she gripped it. Cryptor took a step towards her. "Vivs-" She cut him off. "Don't call me that! That's Kyle's nickname for me, not yours!!" She darted past them, out of her cabin, and towards the woods, ignorning the looks of other campers as she flew past them. She reached the clearing she and Kyle had danced in only a couple days before.
A few minutes later, the trees around her were covered in slashes from her sword. It lay by her side as she sat at the base of one, not bothering to get up. Even as it started raining, she didn't move. The weather suited her mood, she thought. She wouldn't have been able to stand it if it had been bright and sunny.

Xan opened his eyes and nodded to Ethan before taking a seat. He guessed he would see her recalling Kyle's death, but he was surprised by the other memory. He glanced at her, before looking out at the crowd of campers and sighing. He was. Ever particularly close to his older brother, but it did hurt him to find out Kyle was dead. He would remember that day, but not in the way Vivi would. He would remember it as a day where a great leader and warrior had fallen, and a new leader had risen.
The Council had been an idea of Kyle's for some time now; but it was created by orders of Frigga who had orders from Odin who had heard a suggestion from an unnamed creature. Ethan was voted on right away, as was Chase, the Son of Thor, whom Nick succeeded. The fourth member was added later in the history of the Council. So the last position was fought over by himself and Jonas. Xan won, some say he cheated, but he was on the Council. Ethan and Xan are the only original remaining members.
River blinked, it just seemed like Xan had just touched her then sat down, no time pass. "I thought it would have taken longer." he shrugged then looked at the oldest looking Council member, Ethan. His eyes narrowed slightly before nudging Jonas to say, "Who's he?"

(Great memories and stuff too Vivi! You displayed Kyle awesomely! That's exactly how I want him to be!)

(Oops forgot this:
As Nick waited for them he recalled quietly, "Ethan...Don't you think it's weird that there hasn't been a rainy day since Kyle's death? I mean, there's been mist and all that crap but no actual downpours."
(hehe this comment will begin a theory around the camp)

Ethan nodded. "Maybe his death pleased the gods..." Okay, the comment was a little mean. Ethan respected Kyle, but hey, it was the truth.
Jonas looked at the person River was mentioning. "That's Ethan Jacobson, son of Odin. It's a little rare to have children of Odin. He's the youngest out of the two we have here, but the other one is way too cocky..so he was put in the council. I guess you could say he takes after his dad a lot."

Nick looked slightly surprised and he said, "That...that would be strange. I wonder why that would be, if it's true."
River nodded and said, "Looks like it."
Xan looked at the other two council members to his right then stood, looking out at the camp, "As you all know, a Greek demigod has arrived in the camp. He is to be included in any and all activities, however no one takes orders from him."
Nick stood as well and said, "Hold up, before you start talking down on him, maybe we should hear what happened at the Temple of Odin. Jonas, River, please tell the camp what you where summoned to the Temple for."

(hehe, I was hoping I had) Vivi sat down in her seat once Xan was finished, her eyes narrowing as Ethan made the comment. Just the idea of the gods being pleased with Kyle's death enraged her.

Aqua shrugged, not really caring who got the spot. But why her ? she thought.

River stood and looked at Jonas, "It's better coming from you."

Jonas nodded. He stood, looking at the council and the rest of the camp. "Well...River and I were chosen by the gods and the oracle to the lead the camp to America."
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "The gods, Norse gods have chosen a minor godling, and a Greek to lead us to America?"
Jonas nodded. "Uh, yeah."

River nodded and said, "I was chosen because I am one of the few people here who has been in America for an extended amount of time. I know where the other two camps are, and I know where a food location is. Jonas was chosen because...because he knows all of you, and he will stand by my decisions. He will lead you, with the Council's help, to your final camp destination."

Vivi watched them closely as she listened. Not everyone was going to be completly pleased with the idea of moving the camp, and they'd need all the support they could get. "Maybe it is time for a change." She spoke aloud, then looked specifically at River and Jonas. "You'll have my support."

Aqua sighed then looked up at Nick. She then looked at the ground. Aqua didnt like the idea of moving the camp again but she had no say so in it.

Nick looked out at the camp then the council and said, "We are the only demigod camp that has yet to move to America. We are behind by centuries! If the gods want this, so be it. You two have my support."
