Lilythe Rayne

Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as Shadow spoke. But there was also a sense of pride in being able to please him. It was a strange mixture of emotions that seemed to mix whenever she enjoyed his company. Between that and the strange brain fog she had been experiencing lately whenever she tried to think about Azrael, Lilythe was completely at Shadow's mercy. He could keep her wanting him intimately, while keeping Azrael away. All without Lilythe realizing that anything was amiss. When he finally pulled her off his cock, Lilythe gasped for air. Before she knew it she was on her feet, Shadow's lips against hers, a hand at her breast, and his cock poised to enter her. She let out a moan into the kiss, her desire for him building as his free hand searched her body. His tongue snaked into her mouth, and Lilythe instinctively suckled softly on it, before letting it go. Lilythe's cheeks resumed their red hue as she replied. "Fuck me, daddy. Please."

Lilythe gave the girl a soft comforting smile. "I'm happy to hear that I've made you feel welcome and accepted." That was one of her biggest goals with the new campers that came through her doors. Since almost every camper would spend at least one night in the Hermes cabin, she was one of the first people of authority that new campers met. If she created an atmosphere that was uninviting then it would make the camp as a whole seem unwelcoming. That wouldn't do for ensuring the safety of demigods! So she always tried her best to be as welcoming as possible. It was a relief to hear that it was working! "Feel free to have a tour around the grounds as much as you want! Just make sure you don't forget to grab dinner and head to the bonfire tonight." Lilythe gestured towards the camp in an effort to give visual permission to go explore. It was great that Amy wanted to look around. After all, she would be living here for however long she decided to. It was only smart to get to know the place. "I'll be up at The Big House if you need anything before then." ~~~~~~~~~ END RP ~~~~~~~~~

Lilythe just shook her head. "If you're going to avoid the question, I'm going to guess that it's something you know I wouldn't approve of. I'm not an idiot." She gave a chuckle to show that there was no real ill-will here. She preferred to be gentle and supportive where she could, but Ares campers liked to push those boundaries. It often required being on the stern side to get the point across. While she wasn't really looking to punish anyone tonight, she wanted to make sure that the camper was at least safe. The last thing she needed was to write a letter to someone's parents that included the phrase 'Because they were left unsupervised'. "But I am going to recommend that you at least get a second person in here to make sure you don't get injured--or if you do that there's someone to call for medical attention." It had honestly been considered to make it an official part of the rules that a second party was necessary in the forge. Particularly for the last reason mentioned. There had been enough injuries by the Hephaestus campers over the year that she was surprised it wasn't already a rule. She could clearly remember a couple of campers who became amputees over night. Nectar could fix a lot of things, but dismemberment was hard to come back from. Nightly rounds had begun and she knew that Dustin would be there before long. If she played her cards right she could leave the girl with him and he could handle it. Since they were his siblings, and ultimately his responsibility, Ares campers were often best dealt with by him. Of all the campers in that cabin, he at least had the desire to try to restrain himself. It was one of the things that made him the best for that position as Cabin Leader. She wasn't sure what she would do if he ever decided to leave the camp and she had to pick a new one. Anytime now Dustin... It didn't take long for her silent prayer to be answered. Before long she could hear footsteps. Tagging in: @ Dustin Graves

Lilythe gave a sigh that was somehow simultaneously relief and exasperation. She was grateful that Mateo was okay. She was even impressed that he was thinking about building a real future with Helena, it seemed. But she still wished he would have checked in before running off and doing all of this. "Well... as long as you're safe. But yeah, if I'm grumpy I'm sure Helena's going to be even angrier. You better get in touch soon." Lilythe said, her tone very much taking on the 'camp mom' persona that she had. "You'd be safer in Camp Half-Blood, but... I understand." She said with a soft smile. "You're still going to keep doing the job, yeah?" She smirked. "Because I think Argus is appreciating the help coming from someone that isn't a harpy." It was her way of lightening the mood. Now that everything was okay, she was happy enough to let him do whatever it was that he wanted. She wasn't his actual mother, after all, and he was an adult now anyway. He didn't really need her permission or approval, so pretending he did wasn't going to do any of them any real good. "When are you coming back next? Do you need me to bring Helena to The Big House? She's been hiding out in her cabin mostly since she's starting to show..."

As Vienna started to chastise her for being mad over Azrael letting her believe he had hated her, Lilythe fixed her with a look that said it all. She was not going to hear any dissenting opinions on that. To her it had been one of the biggest pains she had endured--which said a lot given that she had participated in several literal wars by now. "Oh I don't know, Vee. He disappeared without even so much as a goodbye. He kept in touch with you and James, but wouldn't return any of my letters or accept any of my Iris messages. What was I supposed to think? And Azrael's not an idiot. He had to know I would take it that way." "Obviously I know now that he didn't hate me. But... I'm still working through the anger, okay? He had years to reach out, and he didn't until I was single. I'm hurt because he was supposed to be my friend, and rather than talk to me or let me know, he vanished... Poof!" It didn't seem all that unreasonable to her that she was upset about that. She had been upset about it before Shadow had even returned to camp. Though she didn't know it, the fact that she had this feeling was the entire reason Shadow's magic was starting to work at all. If she hadn't been upset with him to begin with, Lilythe likely would have noticed something was fishy right away. However, because she was already working through her anger with him, Shadow's magic could build on that and twist it, all without Lilythe even catching on. lilythe breathed a sigh of relief as Vienna let the subject change. "I promise I'm careful. I'm already camp 'mom' without needing to be an actual 'mom'" Lilythe said with a laugh. "So... do you want to come in? Or did you have somewhere to be?"

Lilythe had to stifle a giggle as Leroy asked if the glowing was voodoo. She just continued with her explanation of his claiming. Before long he was off chatting with Derrick and no longer had his attention on her. She looked around at the other unclaimed children, hoping that more parents would claim them soon. It wasn't that Lilythe didn't love having a full cabin, she did. But it warmed her heart to see the child go from not knowing who their parent was to finding their brothers and sisters and getting a sense of belonging. That was the best part of the claiming, in her mind. So when she felt the warmth of the sun's rays, despite it having set, she knew that another claiming must be happening and a smile crossed her face as she turned to the source. Turning to the young girl, Lilythe gave Amelia a warm smile. Above her shone a miniature version of the sun bright, and on the wind she could hear the soft sound of a lyre's tune. "Amelia, your father has claimed you. You are a child of Apollo, god of the sun, healing, and music...along with a whole list he's probably upset with me for not reciting. You may go join your siblings in Cabin 7 now." She said, gesturing over towards the rest of her siblings off to one side.

When she arrived at his cabin, his siblings were quick to tell her that she could find him up at The Big House. Lilythe quickly turned around and headed up that way. She hoped he was truly there and that they hadn't sent her on a wild goose chase. A smirk crossed Lilythe's face as she realized that Azrael was, indeed, here. However, he thought she was a new camper. She could feel her mind racing as she tried to come up, in the split-second she had, with a plan to mess with him. Immediately she thought to pitch her voice higher, but then the idea for an accent came and that led to an even better idea. She had learned bits and pieces of languages over the years, but spoke nothing fluently. Still, she could manage the phrase she needed in just about any language. I don't speak English. It was perfect. He'd have to come to her, right? If he couldn't give English instructions. Putting on a thick French accent, she pitched her voice higher as well to throw him off, and repeated the phrase she had heard when in Paris. "Je ne parle pas anglais." With that done, she took a seat on one of the chairs just off the main entrance, but out of the line of sight from the windows on the patio and waited for Azrael to come out to greet her. This will be fun.

Lilythe let out another gentle moan as Azrael continued to tease her. "Yes, sir." She whimpered as his first string of words came out. The words themselves as much of a taunt as his actions. The length of his cock pressed against her body and Lilythe was reminded of their night in New York. If the passion they had shared that night was any indication, she would be in for a wonderful night with Azrael truly letting go and succumbing to his lust for her. Her desperation began to build the more she thought about it. "If you want me to beg, I'll beg. If you want me to scream, I'll scream. I'm yours to play with." Lilythe responded, reassuring him that this was, in fact, what she wanted from him. "Please, sir. Please fuck me."

Amelia fairly quiet during the tour. Lilythe wasn't going to complain, it was a nice relief from some of the more obnoxious campers she gave a tour to. So she just kept walking and giving the tour. It came as no surprise, however, when after the tour was over there were questions. Though, she had to admit that the question she asked was one Lilythe hadn't heard before. "Not exactly. I suppose you could try to use the amphitheater, it's the closest thing to a stage. But we won't have a barre or private studio to use at all." She said in reply to Amelia's question. "So, just a reminder... You'll be staying with me in Cabin 11 tonight and until you're claimed. Your parent will claim you before your 13th birthday. While you're with me, I'll treat you just like I do all my half-brothers and half-sisters. You're family. If your parent isn't my dad, then after you leave? You're still family. Just changes you to being a cousin instead." Lilythe truly thought of all her campers as family, for the most part. "So you can always come find me if you need anything." She said with a smile. "But for now, sounds like you're ready to go adventure for a bit. We'll all meet at the bonfire after dinner. So I'll see you then!" And she gestured towards the camp letting them know they were free to head off if they wanted. She would linger around for a bit just in case they decided they had questions after all.

The bonfire had only just begun. Things were still strange for her. She couldn't really figure out what was going on. Her head felt like it was in a constant fog most days. The only things that seemed clear was Shadow and her duties as a Cabin Leader. As the campers began to pour in. Before long the campfire was roaring and most of the members of Camp Half-Blood were sitting there around it. As had become tradition, Lilythe guided the new campers, including @ Leroy Bernard to the front of the group. She smiled and reassured them that everything would be okay, explaining to the younger ones--those not quite 13 yet--that their parents may not claim them tonight and may wait until they were older, and ensuring those who had reached their thirteenth year, or close to it, that their parent would claim them tonight. They didn't have to wait long. As soon as the sun set the gods began their work. Lilythe searched the crowd for the first claiming. It was only a matter of a few minutes before it began. As James took his seat, however, Lilythe caught a faint green light. She looked over towards the source. Sure enough, just above the head of Leroy a shimmering green, four leave clover appeared. At his feat a few drachmae appeared, and a cornucopia appeared in his lap, filled with more drachmae. Lilythe knew well enough that the drachmae were likely to disappear shortly, but it was an impressive sum while it lasted. "I have good news for you my friend. Tonight's your last night in Cabin 11. You've been claimed. Your Mother is Tyche, goddess of fortunes both good and bad. Welcome to Cabin 19." Lilythe beamed, happy for the young boy.

Lilythe was making her usual rounds around the campgrounds. Things had been strange lately. She still felt like her brain was in a fog most of the time. Like she needed to remember something--or someone--but couldn't seem to bring herself to. The only thing that ever came to her clearly anymore, truly, was Shadow. She found it strange, but couldn't bring herself to feel anything but comfort by it. That odd spot in her life was what was busying her mind when she stepped into the forge, expecting to find it empty. It was getting pretty late, after all, and most of the campers had made their way back to the cabins. She did not, however, find it empty. As she stepped in she could hear the distinct clanking of tools. Lilythe silently tiptoed her way towards the noise. There, hunched over something they were working on, was another camper. A child of Ares if she wasn't mistaken. "Everly... what are you up to?" She asked in that tone she reserved for when she needed to play camp mom. As the Cabin Leader for Cabin 11, Lilythe had met every single camper at some point or another, because they passed through her care before their parents claimed them. Hermes hosted all the "travellers" since he was the god of travellers, and so it had been her honor and privilege to touch the lives of all the demigods at camp. That didn't mean it wasn't also a headache sometimes. Especially when children of Ares arrived at camp. They always seemed to have attitudes bigger than themselves. While she had a soft spot in her heart for them, she also acknowledge that they were almost always a handful. She couldn't deny feeling just a bit of relief whenever one left her cabin for Cabin 5. @ Everly Maisley ((OoC: Godmodding was only to set the scene that was discussed with Everly's writer beforehand.

"Pleased to meet you Amelia." Lilythe smiled as the young girl seemed to be ready to see the campground now. She knew that, much like some of the other campers before them, the poor girl probably hadn't really had much of a stable place to call home that felt safe. She had worked with that before, and would for as long as she was at Camp Half-Blood. Lilythe stood up from her seat. "This is The Big House. We're a bit literal here sometimes." Lilythe chuckled. "We always have a cabin leader up here to help greet new campers, and generally help Mr. D with things." She paused briefly before continuing. "Mr. D is the Dionysus. Greek god of Wine, Parties, and Madness. If you respect nobody else here, I'd recommend respecting him--no matter how disrespectful he is to you--or else you may very well find yourself turned into a strawberry plant." That was not an exaggeration. Mr. D was not exactly fond of the half-bloods to begin with, and any excuse to turn them into a plant was taken up at every opportunity. "And no, I'm not kidding." Lilythe moved out to the porch and gestured towards the campgrounds. "Over there are the volleyball courts. And that building is for Arts and Crafts." Lilythe pointed to the courts and the greek-looking buildings off to the east of the house. "To the west are the strawberry fields, and only some of those plants are former campers." Lilythe said with a smile as she started walking down the steps, taking strides towards the grounds. As she walked up the trail, she gestured. "Over there are the Forge. The Hephaestus kids spend a lot of time there. Though anyone's welcome to help them." The young girl might be the arts and crafts type, or maybe some metalwork would be up their alley. It was good to have a hobby around here, because things could get really boring otherwise when there weren't quests or events happening. "Behind the forge are the Pegasus stables and to the north is the Armory." Lilythe kept walking along the path, letting Amelia follow her. "Up ahead we have the Arena where we practice our combat skills, and then just beyond that are the cabins. In the middle of all our cabins is a large bonfire. We gather every night before bed, sing some songs, roast marshmallows, and sometimes the godly parents claim their kids. And the showers are to the east of the cabins, and the mess hall is to the north." Lilythe stopped along the path and gestured further up. "If you follow the path you come to a lake where we do some canoeing, the forest where we play capture the flag will be to the northwest of the cabins, and beyond the lake further up the path will be the Amphitheater and the Climbing Wall. The path ends at a beach, where the Long Island Sound is." Lilythe turned back around and faced the boys. "While you're here we'll train you to be heroes. So that you can protect yourself against the monsters that hunt you simply because you smell like the gods. You're not trapped here. You can leave at any time to return home if you like--or you can get permission if you just want to go on a day trip into the city. But we have a magic boundary that helps protect us from the monsters here, and it's a safe place for you for as long as you want it." She offered a warm smile to her temporary companion. "I know it may not feel like it yet, but I hope one day it feels like home." She genuinely meant it. After the wars, Lilythe had worked hard to foster an environment around camp that helped support one another and really keep the place safe for everyone. When she took over Cabin 11 from her half-brother Conner when he left to follow Travis at college, Lilythe had doubled those efforts to ensure that every camper had a warm welcome. Even the ones that were more rough around the edges. "You will be staying with me in Cabin 11, where the 'travellers' and children of Hermes reside, until your parent claims you. But I have a feeling your parent will claim you soon. You look like you'll be 13 soon, and they have to claim you before then." She reassured the young girl. "Do you have any questions before I turn you loose?"

Got this one!

Lilythe could hear the nerves in the poor girl's voice. She had seen it several times over the years. Campers often arrived scared and unsure, things had changed so suddenly and they found themselves having to come to terms with a whole new reality in a matter of minutes. It was overwhelming to say the least. "Pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry, I forgot to ask your name. What should I call you, dear?" She said with a reassuring smile. Settling into her chair, Lilythe nodded as the young girl asked her question. Grabbing her lemonade, she took a sip. There was a lot of information she was going to have to go over. She could tell. The satyr must not have had much time with the girl, or perhaps the girl hadn't thought to ask him anything. Lilythe had no way of knowing what had occurred on their trip after all. "It'll just be a lot to take in. You might want to get comfortable." "This is a camp for half-bloods. We're the half-mortal children of the Greek Gods. Demigods. I run Cabin 11, the Hermes Cabin, and that happens to also be where you'll be staying for the night since we don't know who your godly parent is. Hermes is the god of travellers, so we house those of you who are 'travelling' until your parent claims you." She sat back in her chair. She paused here, knowing that it would take a minute for that to truly process and sink in. "Out there, beyond the camp, there are monsters. Heaps of them. Monsters that mortals can't see, but we can. And to them we smell like the most delicious cake you've ever tasted. Here, at Camp Half-Blood, we train half-bloods to be heroes so that you can protect yourself from the monsters out there in the mortal world." Lilythe grabbed a cookie and nibbled on it while letting that information process. This was going to be a shock to her system, Lilythe guessed. She was fairly certain Amelia hadn't been told anything before arriving. Lilythe said. "It's okay... I know this is a lot of information and a really big change. But you're safe here. And you can decide whether you want to stay. But, I promise you're safe here." And she truly meant it. Things hadn't happened to the campers at Camp Half-Blood in nearly 10 years now. She truly hoped and believed that the worst days were behind them. "Would you like to know more about the camp?"

Lilythe could hear the familiar sound of the front porch steps creaking, followed shortly by the front door swinging open. She smiled as she heard an unknown voice. A new camper. "I'll be right there! Make yourself at home." She called from the kitchen towards the front of the house. Lilythe poured a couple glasses of lemonade and threw together a plate of cookies before following through with her promise. Placing the beverages and cookies onto a tray, Lilythe walked herself into the front room. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. I'm Lilythe, one of the cabin leaders here at the camp. I'm sure you're tired and have a ton of questions." She said sweetly, and placed the tray down on the table before the girl. Grabbing one of the glasses of lemonade, she took a sip and sat in a chair opposite the couch the young girl sat upon. "Please feel free to relax, have a cookie or two, and drink some lemonade. I'm here to answer any questions you might have. And when you're ready I can show you the camp." Lilythe said with a smile.
