Jonas paled. "Uh, being in America...it's more populated with monsters...so uh..."

Aqua looked down and played with her pants sadly. Ugh,she thought,Why do I feel bad? I tried my best to help them.

Nick looked at them and said, "Of course." He snapped his fingers and a few campers brought out the shrouds of the lost campers. He sighed and stood. Walking down the steps to the fire. Xan raised his arm and the fire grew. Nick took out a list and said, "I will read the names of campers that did not return from America, and the camper closest to them (who is holding their shroud) will burn it. Tom Wilkes." A little girl, about 9 years, threw the shroud in the fire, her eyes red.

Aqua watched as a tear escaped her eye. She wiped it away, hoping that no one noticed.

(FYI, Gale said I could do what is coming up)
Xan stood and took a shroud from one of the campers who held it out to him. Nick read a name, "Glass "Ricky" Thorne." Xan kept a straight face but a small tear fell as he threw the shroud into the fire, the shroud of his best friend. Xan went back to his seat, and put his head in his hands in frustration. Nick glanced at Xan and looked out into the crowd for a moment before saying, "Though this demigod was not officially a Norse demigod, he was a Legacy of a Norse god. He was Legacy of Hel, and his mortal halfsister, also a Legacy of Hel, resides here now. Shawna Speir, can you please bring the shroud of Gale Speir forward."
River's eyes widened and but he did not speak. He knew Gale. But he had no idea that his friend knew of the Norse Camp. Nick looked at Shawna, but he spoke to the camp, "He may not have been an official camper but he did come here as often as he could and he had many friends. We all know that Gale was actually a Greek demigod, so on it is the symbol of Aphrodite, as well as the symbol of Hel. May he rest in peacefully in Hel."
The girl who looked the same age as Nick and Xan, threw the shroud in the fire and looked at Nick, her eyes red and tears falling from her eyes. Nick looked back at her and then spoke to Ethan, "Can you finish reading these? Please. I really need to be with Shawna."
River raised an eyebrow and looked at Jonas, "How long have you been gone again Jonas?"

Vivi stood quietly to the side, her head slightly bowed and her hands clasped. She recognised a few of the names, but none had any significance to her. These days, not many did.

Ethan took the list, and continued with the names. "Andrew Perkins." A boy about 18 came up, and tossed the shroud into the fire. "Lilly Doe." "Manny Alridge." Christofer Petty." There was about 10 names, all of them were on the trip to America.
"Now, uh, we haven't given this next person a proper ceremony. He was killed by Loki a couple weeks back. Jonas Knight, will you please burn the shroud for your half-brother, Owen Juno."
Jonas was in disbelief. They didn't give him a proper ceremony while he was gone? That's disrespectful! He took the shroud, and carefully laid it in the fire.

Nick hopped down from his seat and landed lightly next to the girl, Shawna. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she cried into his shoulder. He lead her to the back of the logs and they sat behind everyone. Nick put an arm around her and put his hand on her head while she cried.
River turned to look at them then turned back around, it was amazing how many campers were dead or missing from that one trip to America, granted there were a ton of them left but...they must have not been used to all the monsters.

Xan looked at Aqua and said, "It wasn't exactly top of our list at the time. We were in the process of moving, we didn't even have a fire to burn the shroud in. Plus the person closest to him was in America. What were we suppose to do?"
River shook his head and mumbled to himself, "Oh I don't know, a moment of silence or something?"
Kyle watched the meeting from the shadows on top of the hill, hidden from the wandering eyes of young campers.

Vivi stayed where she was, only because it would have been disrespectful to leave. The fallen campers deserved one last tribute of course, but she hated being at these types of things. It wasn't that she didn't care, it was just that they reminded her too much of Kyle's. She hurriedly blinked back a tear, silently cursing herself for getting a little emotional. She didn't join in the conversaton, preferring to just stay quiet for the moment.

Kyle's eyes flashed down to Vivi and he quietly made his way back to the temple. His sword reflected the sunlight as he ran over the hill, causing a small flash of light. Only his silhouette visible as he made his way down the opposite side of the hill.
Nick quietly calmed Shawna down and he gave her a small kiss on the forehead. He whispered something to her and she just nodded as he stood and made his way back to his seat in the Council.
Xan glanced up at Nick and Shawna before turning his gaze away. He looked around as the ceremony finished and said, "Does anything else need to be brought to the council's attention?"

Aqua looked towards the hill,angerly. She saw the figure of a person but couldnt tell who it was. As the figure disappeared over the hill she looked around to see if someone was missing. Seeing everyone that was in the camp there Aqua made a mental note to herself,After the meeting look around for someone new or different.
