Sands of Time...or something like that(Private: Kairea unless others given permission)

Eli sat at the beach, watching the tide flow on and off the beach. He felt at calm, the beach being the place with the most sand at Camp so it felt closest to a desert reservoir. He lifted his hand, his powers manipulating a ball of sand to rise up and harden in the air in front of him. He watched as the ball changed forms, shifting ever so slowly to make out different shapes before Eli. His mind at ease, he returned it to a ball and sent the sand flying out into the ocean, watching it vanish from site into the water. He wasn't sure how long he was there for, but he knew that he was happy.

Anastasia walked out onto the beach, aware of the large amount of people there. She carried her guitar around in it's case, trying to find a place where she can relax. She had been at the sword fighting area earlier with a training session for girls. That is..until some boys crashed it and she slipped out and returned to her cabin without being noticed. She wore her orange Camp Half-Blood shirt, and some dark blue jeans, along with a black jacket. He headphones were around her neck, and normally she would have her electric, but since there is no plug ins for an amp, she carried her acoustic guitar around. She didn't particular like the spot that was available, it was too close to where Eli was sitting in a sand chair he had manipulated to form. But, it was either that, or sit near a large group of guys and girls, the guys giving her looks that she didn't like at all. So with a sigh, she went to the somewhat secluded spot, and sat down in the sand.

Leanna walked acrossed the beach, her toes in the water. She never particularly liked the beach. She felt that there were too many people, too much water, too much sand, and not enough plants. Regardless, she was there today for a little while. She walked away from the beach area and towards the tree line behind Eli and Anastasia. She coaxed vines from out of the tree and towards the beach wordlessly, having them form a cushion for her to sit on. Looking over at Eli she smiled softly as he toyed with the sand. There was a small patch of grass peaking up from the sand beside him and she coaxed it into the form of a crudely made person, who waved to his creations.

Ana couldn't say she wasn't fasinated by Eli's manipulation of the sand, she just didn't like being near boys. Regardless she watched wordlessly, taking out her guitar while she watched, as Eli manipulated the sand, making it do all kinds of great things. Once her guitar was out, she pushed it to the side, noticing the dryad that had walked up and sat down on a cushion of vines. She thought the dryad was very cute, but she shook her head thinking that she didn't have a chance. Putting her back to a large rock in her area, she strummed a silent tune on her guitar, watching the two people.

Eli was in his own world with the sand. He heard the guitar strumming, but he thought it was just his own mind as he manipulated the area around him.

Lea frowns, her creation not being noticed. The little figure starts walking towards his little world. The little person pokes the sand creation and waves silently. It sprouts long hair and twirls in a circle, a dress forming on it. A thin line of grass trails the grass creation back to it's origin.

Ana didn't even notice the creature the dryad had made at first, but then when it entered the guy's area of sand, she followed the grass trail back to it's source and saw the dryad frowning. "Oh.." She muttered silently and got a bit upset, going back to her guitar.

Eli glanced down, noticing the creation that had entered his area and started interacting with his sand preformance. He saw a trail of grass behind this, and his show stopped briefly as he turned around, seeing a frowning dryad at the end of the trail.

Lea blushed brightly and darts into the trees. She peeks out from ontop of one of the bordering trees and frowns looking at him. The grass and vines lowly retract back to their original forms. Lea notices Ana and a small flower, that was struggling to grow through the sand, sprouts beside her.
((phone dying be back later))

Eli raised an eyebrow at the dryad for rushing back to the forest that was just outside the beach. "Shy I guess." He muttered, manipulating his chair to turn around and not have him get a backache from turning to watch. He wondered why the dryad had tried to get his attention, she was a nature spirit from greek tales..and they don't usually talk to him much.

Anan continued to strum her guitar, getting over her hurt feelings from moments ago, when she looked up and saw the chair and the boy in it were turned around. She raised an eyebrow and looked back down at her guitar, noticing a flower that had somehow grown from out of nowhere. He picked it up, turning it by the stem and then looked back at the boy, turning her head to the direction he was watching. She noticed the dryad had fled to the forest. Probably something the guy had done.

Lea hangs from upside down a branch in a near tree with her head tilted. The branch droops and she hands on her hands, twisting her body in a almost half-cartwheel to stand back up. She rubs her arm shyly looking at Eli. The flower beside Ana starts curling up her guitar slightly.
Lea waves awkwardly, a light blush on her cheeks.

Ana and Eli both watched the display. For a shy dryad, she sure didn't mind putting on a show, even if it was obvious the branch she was hanging from was about to break. Ana glanced over at the guy, and then put her guitar back in it's case, closing that up. She didn't bother to stand, or make herself known to the guy though, she was perfectly content with only the dryad knowing she was there.

Eli raised an eyebrow at the dryad, glancing over slightly and noticing a girl putting her guitar away. He didn't say anything to either person though, just waved back at the dryad.

Lea smiles softly, the branch still handing low above her. She coaxes it back up with a hand, making sure to tend to any damages. Lea wasn't trying to show off, it was just how she is used to moving about. She was not often on the ground, but in the trees above. Walking over to the two of them, she shyly sits in between them, a trail of grass following her. She toys with the grass making animals and people.

Eli turned the chair after the dryad came over and sat between him and the other demigod, or, at least he thinks Ana's a demigod. He didn't say anything immediately, just kinda looked between the two of them awkwardly. But soon he did say something. "Uh..Hi. Eli Harris..son of Set." He said to the two of them, but Ana acted like he had said nothing.

Ana didn't like that the dryad had sat between them. Not because she didn't like the Nature Spirit, but because of the boy there, the one whom introduced himself as Eli. She sighed silently to herself, hoping to avoid having to talk to Eli.

When Lea spoke, she wasn't very good at speaking English considering she is still learning it. She understood most words, but sometimes she would stumble upon a word that confuses her. "Im called Lea.. Short for Leanna. I am a Dryad.." She turns to the girl beside her. "What is your name?"

Eli looked up at the girl that Lea ask the name of. The girl seemed less than friendly towards Eli, but he wasn't sure what her past or anything was, so he didn't feel too, well..too anything at the moment.

Ana didn't want to answer. But Lea was nice to her, and the guy didn't seem to care to be intereactive with her anyway. "Anastasia...Anastasia Century. Daughter of Chronus." He said to them.

Lea smiled softly and looks between them. "I'm sorry for my shyness earlier... I-I am new and I suppose I am not used being around.. What's the word?.. People yet.." She smiles proud of herself for finding the right word and she sits cross-legged.

Eli shrugged. "No one was judging you." He said to the dryad, his mind acting almost as if he was elsewhere at the moment. Although the only real thing distracting him was how dumb he was at assuming Ana was a demigod, her father was the lord of time itself, and he thought she was a little pip squeek. Damn what a fail to him.

Ana glanced up at the boy, seeing his distant look but didn't say anything. She looked back down at Lea. "It's nice to meet you. When did you get here, cause I'm new too." She asked, adding the explanation.

Lea shrugs and thought back. "Perhaps a month ago.. Or more.. Or less.. Counting time is new to me. It was before the flowers bloomed and Ivy had it's leaves."

Ana was well intuned to time's surrondings. It wasn't exactly an inherited power, just something that she knew on a dime, like a sixth sense for it. "Yeah, that was about a month ago. I showed up at the beginning of this month, have only been here about 2 weeks now." She told the dryad. She smiled a bit, glancing up at Eli, not sure why he was acting so distant. It seemed kinda rude to her since Lea was so nice to him. But then..even the nicest people can be hated for nothing. She knew that all too well.

Lea frowned over to Eli. "You don't talk very much.. Do you think too much?" She pulls her knees to her chest resting her head on her legs.

Eli shook his head rapidly as if coming out of a daze and then looked down at the two of them. "Sorry, what?" He asked, thinking it was Lea that spoke.

"She asked if you do more thinking than talking." Ana said to Eli, kinda partially annoyed that he ignored them, thought she didn't mind being ignored, it was Lea that she was upset was ignored by him.

"Oh. Sorry, no I don't think really deeply often, but at that instance, I was mostly mentally bashing my head into a wall. I thought you were just another demigod, Anastasia. I didn't realize who your father really was." He told them

Ana rolled her eyes as if the old fart that helped conceive her was a two-bit hack. "Whatever." She said.

Lea nods and rubs her shoulder, not necessarily knowing who all of the Gods were. She smiles softly at the two of them and shakes her head. "Everyone seems so.. controlled by who their parents are or what has happened in the past.. This life confuses me..

"It's stupid."
"It's stupid."

Both of them spoke in unison on the subject and looked at one another. Ana wasn't too happy honestly, not that the guy agreed with her, but that he was a boy. If he were a girl, Ana would've been a lot better with it.

Eli didn't speak for a second or two but then he regained his thoughts. "It's stupid that these campers think their parent makes them something. I've seen children of minor gods and goddess with better attitudes about them than most Big 3 children." He said.

"And the demititans are the worst thing for attitude." Ana added, but it was like an after thought, not exactly her meaning to add it.

Lea nods and lays down looking at the sky. "Ana.. You don't seem to joyful.. Neither of you do.." She frowns and turns her head looking between them. Her thin cotton shirt hugged to her form when she laid down. Her stomach rumbled slightly and she sits up on her elbows.

Eli shrugged at her comment. "Don't take this hypocritical, but it's my nature. My father is Set, the Egyptian God of Chaos and the Desert. This place, whenever I'm here I feel like I'm at a desert reservoir, so I'm extremely calm here...the..well, chaotic nature pops out whenever a fight that I get pulled into happens, and I use my powers." He said to them

"I don't have a godly reason for my lack of joy. Just...let's just leave it at me having some trust issues with..well, don't this personally Eli, but I don't trust boys easily. Let's just leave it at that cause I don't want to talk about my past." Ana said, pulling over her guitar case and pulling out her guitar again.

Lea nods with a saddened look on her eyes. "You both are.. Depressing.." She sighs standing back up and dusting the sand off of her back and but.

Eli shrugged and Ana merely rolled her eyes and took out her guitar. She pulled on her headphones and hummed a tune as she picked a song from her playlists, Fame over Demise acousitic style by Woe Is Me. She smirked and hit play, playing and singing in perfect sink with the song.

"Your true colors are starting to get loud..and have fun praying to your gray god now." She sang, continuing on with the next few lines.

Eli smirked at Ana's talent and great singing voice, though he shifted his head, thinking a bunch of the annoying people on the beach would come over and be a nusiance.
