The Hades Cabain was one of the most beautiful ones in the Camp, at least is what the most recent deweller thought about it. It was a beautiful reflection of her father's kingdom and she loved all about it. The dark walls, the green fires, the wide halls inside where her puppy Kólosi, a hellhound puppy of 6'6" tall, could play. The only thing she thought that the place would need to make it more than perfect were some flowers.
She loved the black roses, they were her favorite, those and the blood-red ones, but no matter how much she worked on the soil that was right out her cabain, no flowers bloomed out there, just weed! some Aphrodite girls said it was because only bad things grew in the cabain, but they found themselves surrounded by corpses for some time also ghosts messed with their make up everyday for a week.
that day, Beth was knelt by the soil near the entrance of her cabain. She was moving the land and checking if she had gotten the right supplies for the ground to be fertil. She really wanted those flowers! She sat on the ground and started reading the instructions to seed the flowers, for the millionth time in 6 months. "ok... so I need the seed and place it in a small hole..." kept reading. She didn't notice that someone had just approached to her. |

Nature one of the things that kept Jeremiah calm since he escaped the DCA and their torture techniques. Jeremiah was content to stay in the woods but remembered that he promised to hep Beth her decorate with flowers. The problem was that to make them full blooms he would need to use his powers of speed-ed growth. It meant that he would be connecting himself to the plants today so they would need to be protected so he would not collapse randomly. Lucky for him his powers were not deadly and merely made him pass out.He walked out of his apartment and walked towards the Hades cabin and saw elizabeth getting supplies ready. He approached slowly "Ok so I will just need the seeds I can make it grow in this soil. However I will say this with the utmost seriousness. You need to make sure that none of these flowers are destroyed or i could end up in the infirmary for weeks because this is a big cabin and if all were destroyed all at once i will pass out for a hour per flower. " Jeremiah spoke sternly at Elizabeth. He could make it grow and never tried more than ten plants at once because worried that they are truly connected to his life force and that if he was to plant more than ten and they got destroyed that he would die. He didn't want to risk it as he has was lucky not to die at the hands of the DCA. He grabbed a handful of seeds and scattered them on the ground it landed among the dark dirt. "Normally would be impossible but I am Demeter. So shouldn't be too much work." Jeremiah spoke softly. It was going to be a long day but good thing Jeremiah loved Gardening.

Beth was reading the labels of the gardening stuff that she bought, she payed a daughter of hermes for those things, she really wanted to have a beautiful garden of flowers right at the gates of Hades cabain. She wasn't really concerned about what other campers could think when they saw the garden, some could like it some couldn't, but she wanted it to be beautiful for the real dwellers of the cabain. At the moment only she was in there and her huge hellhound puppy, but her older sister Alice went to visit from time to time and maybe in the future other hades children could get there too. So she was going to keep the cabain beautiful for them and herself.
She heard Jeremiah's voice and smiled looking up, but frowning due the sun beams. "Thank you for coming..." She started but a always he seemed to be annoyed by being there with other campers, she was included. She nodded an smiled but then her smiled fainted and she frowned once more. She got up and shook her her by the time he spreaded the seeds on the ground. "wait... If it is such a threat to your life... Why do you help me? You know Hades cabain is one of the most attacked, right? I could try to put the garden inside. But I don't want to put your life in risk just because I want a garden." She bit her lower lip and frowned out in concern. |

Jeremiah shrugged as Beth thanked him for coming. He normally would of spent today in the woods and avoiding people but he promised to help and being a man of his word Jeremiah had made it to the Hades cabin. "You asked for flowers outside the cabin and i am a man of my word so i Came. I am not sure my life is truly in danger i am just tellign you need to keep them safe. I do know it is attacked because you all are powerful. The big three cabins would be the one most attacked. I help because you asked for it. I am fine." Jeremiah spoke as he knelt down and touched a seed and concentrated as it began to sprout and bind him empathically to it. He panted and smiled "Well that is done and I have about nine more flowes I am willing to make for i do not wish to risk it much. However as Fiona tells me I should plant in doors to prevent passing out from them hurting me."Jeremiah spoke and smled softly.
The son of Demeter came across as cold and aloof because he had suffered great tortures in the DCA prisons. He didn't trust people because they could say on thing to your face before turning around and turning one into the DCA to save one's life. "I want you to know I am not annoyed being around you I just have trust issues" Jeremiah spoke and sat down waiting for her tell him where she wanted the next fllower. "This is your cabn so you get to tell me where the landscaping goes. I can plant them anywhere. I could do it the mortal way but it seems that you waant full blooms as soon as possible. So I will use my powers." Jeremiah smiled and rested on fallen tree.

Beth looked at him as he explained why he was there and that he was a man of his word. She nodded but then again she was worried for him, what if some campers wanted to make a bad joke to the Hades cabin and they killed the flowers? Then Jeremiah would suffer a lot, he would spend a lot of time in the infirmary or maybe even get a first class pass to visit her father!
She looked how he was seeding the seeds and in a minute a beautiful full grown flower grew from the point where he had put his finger. She smiled widely and amazed at the miracle of life in that flower. "you are amazing Jeremiah!" She sat on the ground once more admiring the flower, then she looked at him, he seemed to be really tired.
"Well, I'd love two more sets by the gate and the rest inside, where no one can hurt them." smiles at him. "but do it when you feel better, I see it is tiring for you to grow even one." Smiles as Kólosi walks close to tham and sits in the doorway and snifs in Jeremiah's direction. |

Jeremiah was pretty sure that His powers were not connected to his life force but he was not sure. It just seemed like a natural thing to empthically connect himself to plants. He sat there catching his breathe because also seemed to take his energy away. So he tried to limit his growth powers. "I am not that amazing just doing as i promised to do. It does sap my energy but I think that just means the empathic connection is working. You just need to protect them and I can make some indoors but looks like your pet is pretty much guarding our entrance to the cabin." Jeremiah spoke Calmly pointing out the huge black hellhound that blocked their walk way.
He walked near the gates of the hades cabin, the place gave Jeremiah the willies because it involved death and in the mythology Hades had kidnapped Persephone, Jeremiah's godly sibling. He often wondered if Hades just did it because he disliked Demeter and would be willing to kidnap another of her children. He stood there looking at the looming gate and wondered if Hades disliked the flowers and for kicks thaat he would destroy them just so Jeremiah would pass out and then send him to the infirmary for a week. This was something he knew Fiona would not let him live it down. He knew deep down that fiona was looking out for his best interests. Even though he had trust issues and was unsure of his own family. He also could feel the presence of the dead around the cabin and wondered if his sister was one of the poor souls, rumored to wander around the hades cabin. If not then it would be kind of depressing for he would not know if his sister was pleased and had so much to tell her. He felt bad that she didn't make it out alive or that he was one of the reasons they got caught in the first place.
However now was not the time to think of the past he had a job to do. "Shall we finish up or are we done for the day?" Jeremiah asked calmly.

The flowers were beautiful and they reflected royalty, majestuosity an beauty, all what she believed that the presence of her father should reflect. She didn't care that his wife didn't like them or didn't agree with her idea of the metaphore about the flowers, the cabin and Hades. She then looked at Jeremiah and smiled at him when he said he wasn't amazing. "what you do with the flowers an the seeds, is amazing and a blessing..." she smiled a bit more and then looked at Kôlosi and shook her head. The dog was an amazing companion and guardian. "Don't worry, he won't attack you, he only attacks when feels that I am in danger... Unless hades himself orders him to stay back."
She got up and walked to where the huge puppy was, she scrathed behind one of his ears and the mutt licked her other arm. She whispered something into his ear and the dog stood still, then he got up from the entrance and licked Jeremiah's left arm, then laid down by the new roses, he was guarding them. Then Beth smiled widely and looked at Demeter's son. "he will protect them, and he trusts you, a I do. I know about trust issues... So baby steps on that." she nodded at him then walked a couple of steps into the cabin. "welcome to cabin of Hades" she smiles gently at him and waited for him to come in too. |

Jeremiah shrugged as Beth thought it was cool that he could grow plants the way he did, however Jeremiah saw it differently.He didn't think it was so much fun because it came with a price. His mother had gifted him with an empathic connection to his plants. He didn't like that when the plants were helplessly destroyed, the son of Demeter would pass out. "It is not the best thing in the world but i make due with the hand i am dealt." Jeremiah spoke softly smiling. He saw the hellhound lick Beth's arm. He didn't entirely trust the giant dog. He felt the cold wet tongue on his arm as he shivered. Jeremiah took a step inside the hades cabin and the place creeped him out a bit. The air was dark and gave the sens that somethign dead was lurking about. Jeremiah would not be surprised at all if there was a ghost lurking about that he couldn't see at all. It was not surprising at all that the hades cabin might have a a ghost.
"Well this place sure is umm interesting. Umm i feel the need to ask are there and lurking spirits i do not know about? i keep getting this feeling that some one is watching me. I guess i am just paranoid." Jeremiah spoke looking aroun for a nice spot to put his plants. He wasn't seeing a good place at all.

As they walked in Beth looked around and felt it cozy! The Hades cabin was something she loved, maybe that was why she wanted to make it more beautiful, to please her father, to make it something pleasent for the ghosts that were in the cabin. She also cared about them, she treated them as guests in her house. Until they decided to leave or Thanatos came for them, she would treat them in a good and respectful way.
As they walked into the cabin, she saw some ghosts in there. Some of them didn't pay attention to the living ones, some of them were campers for decades before their time. even hundreds, so some of them didn't talk to Beth, much less to another demigod. but there were some new, a young girl for example. she was shy but smiled a lot, she had died in the DCA hands and missed her brother a lot.
She looked at Jeremiah and smiled. "well, you share your vital energy with something that is alive and with some caring will stay alive, but me... when I rise corpses, I share my vital energy with them... but they are dead and will be dead always..." shrugs and walks to the place where she is going to put the flowers, well only move the ground a bit. then jeremiah's voice again. She looked at him and then looked around. She saw the shy girl behind a pillar, which was behind Jeremiah. "yeah... just one now, she seems to have a crush on you." |
