Tiodus glanced over at Anabelle and smiled, "Wow. So you are Anabelle. Cory sure chose well. Smart, beautiful. Nothing better then that." He looked at Jay, "Cory said he'll bring Anabelle back in about a week. And he also wants your permission to join your quest."

An amused expression appeared on Anabelle's face as she simply gave a shake of her head.

Tiodus then whistled a sleepy toon and headed up to the deck to get on his Pegasus. He turned to Anabelle before he was completely out of daughter and said "You should grab your stuff. I'll wait for you up on the deck."

Jay didn't like his authority and powers challenged. "You were not invited onto my ship, therefore you are her enemy and an enemy to her patron god Hades..." he barked at Tiodus. He hesitated as Anabelle mentioned Cory sending someone. "I don't trust you Tiodus...I'll make that obvious, and I obviously wouldn't let any of my friends be taken by a stranger. Identify yourself properly...and drop all your weapons now." Jay normally carried his sword on his back, but he didn't want to make any of his companions feel endangered or threatened by him or the mission...luckily he had the sense to magically conceal it as a stygian drachma which hung from his belt. He detached the coin, flipped it in the air and caught his menacing blade as it came down, immediately pointing it at Tiodus as if to challenge him. "Your decision...live or die?"

Anabelle nodded, and left the room to grab her bag, but when she came back in, Jay was pointing his sword at Tiodus. She opened her mouth as if to say something, then shut it, glancing between the two.

"Make your move Tiodus!" Jay yelled, "What is it to be?!"

Tiodus reacted very calmly and smoothly, like he was used to being threatened by kids like Jay all the time. He shrugged off his sword belt and leaned it against the wall. He reached up his sleeve and grabbed his dagger and dropped it on the floor. He smirked and said, "I don't need you to trust me. But I do need to get Anabelle to Cory safely. With out any problems, preferably. If that means giving you my weapons, then I will. I am Tiodus (insert his last name here), Son of Hypnos. I'm here only to get Anabelle safely to Seattle. I don't want anything more to do with you or this ship than that. Is that good enough for you?" Tiodus's hand twitched, ready to do what he must to get this over with and to get off this ship. If that meant hypnotizing Jay Hawke, than that's what it would be.

Jay knew he could take this chump...but his saw the twitch in Tiodus's hand. A child of Hypnos...fine...but an angry child of Hypnos...well he couldn't be sure. "Thank you for your cooperation, one last thing though..." Jay flipped his sword back into a coin, "I'm coming with you. My brother will begin travel to our required location, if Cory is in trouble, I want in..."

Tiodus clenched his jaw but gave a short nod, "Very well. If that is what you want." He picked his weapons back up and said, "Then we should be off if we want to get to Seattle before dark. Those with bounties on their heads don't need to be flying around at night." He glanced slightly at Anabelle, then looked away. He wouldn't say much more then that. Not without Cory's consent, or with the girl around. As he was always taught, things involving bounty hunters won't make sense to non-bounty hunters. That and once a bounty hunter, always a bounty hunter. He shook his head and then put on a slightly goofy smile. "Say your goodbyes. I'll be waiting on deck." He climbed up the steps and to his awaiting pegasus.

Jay nodded at the rest of his party, "Like he said, we'll be back soon." Jay walked towards Tiodus, gaining a new respect for him. He knew exactly what he was...perhaps even who he was. That word "bounty" well...that was a dead giveaway. Jay had been a hunter once...back in the time before he was really him. "Let's go."

The bounty comment made her wonder, but she knew better than to ask questions. She wouldn't get any answers, at least not from him. She picked up her bag, and with a nod to the others, followed Tiodus and Jay upstairs.

Tiodus took Anabelle's stuff from her and fastened it to the pegasus and nodded, "Alright, ready to go? Jay, you need me to call you up a ride or do you have it covered?"
(Just a bit into Tiodus's past now...) "Come on runt! This is what you get for finding shadow conjuring impossible!" Shouted the big demigod into young Tiodus's ear. Tiodus whimpered and cried, "I'm not the son of a shadow god!"
The man growled and kicked Tiodus in the stomach. Tiodus fell, hard. The other young trainees watched in horror as the man went for a fatal blow with his sword. He slammed his hand down but suddenly stopped, inches away from Tiodus.
The young boy had raised a shaky hand and had managed to kneel slightly. He wiped his face with his free hand and spat angrily at the man, "You call this teaching a lesson? Killing me, or attempting to was a bad idea!" Tiodus closed his eyes and made a motion with his hand before the man pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself.
The man shuttered and spat out blood before falling to the ground. Tiodus put his hand down on the ground for balance and looked at the other kids. Another man then walked in and nodded, "Very good son of Hypnos. You've learned how to summon your hypnotic powers and use them to your advantage." The man gave an approving look then turned back to the rest of the kids and began speaking again. Tiodus stood and went back into the ranks, he knew then that his bounty hunter career had begun.

"Covered" Jay replied as he nodded and sunk into his own shadow, arms crossed and a scowl forged on his face.

Anabelle. nodded. "Yeah, ready." She replied and hopped up on the pegasus.

Tiodus gave a nod and watched as Jay left, he closed his eyes a moment in thought then hopped up behind Anabelle and said, "Hold on, we've got a ways to go in a short amount of time." He whistled and the pegasus took off right away into the skies heading west to Seattle.
Cory watched the evening skies of Seattle in the park, looking for more then one thing. The first being Anabelle, the second being bounty hunters. There were bounty hunters, a lot of them, in this area and if he needed to he would blow them out of the sky to protect Anabelle. (I'm going to make a thread labeled The West Coast for this)
