Lilythe Rayne

The boys were fairly quiet during the tour. Lilythe wasn't going to complain. At least it kept them from having an attitude with her. She was convinced she knew exactly which cabin they would belong in. It would surprise her if they were anywhere else except there. So she just kept walking and giving the tour. It came as no surprise, however, when they got to the Arena that suddenly there seemed to be a bit of interest. "Yup! Every day." She said in reply to Maddox. The next question in his voice, made Lilythe pause. It wasn't the first time she had heard it. It likely wouldn't be the last. "I had a friend just like you once." She smiled softly, honesty clear on her face. "He was angry at the whole world. He thought that he was only good for fighting and causing problems. But you know what? He's one of our Cabin Leaders now, and he's turned into quite the young hero." She gave him a reassuring look, before continuing. "Your past doesn't define you. And you can be whatever you set your mind to. My favorite heroes are the ones who had to grow into it." Lilythe hoped her words helped to encourage him, rather than making him feel pressured. She could tell the boys must have had a rough go before they got here. They weren't the first, and they wouldn't be the last, but it was always so sad to see kids who felt like the world had given up on them already. "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 now you're a cousin." 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.

Lilythe smiled as the boys seemed to settle down. She could already tell that they would be a handful. But she also knew that, much like some of the other campers before them, they probably hadn't really had 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. As the boys said they were ready to tour the camp, she 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 boys didn't really seem the arts and crafts type, but 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 the boys 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. 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 the boys. "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 boys will be staying with me in Cabin 11, where the 'travellers' and children of Hermes reside. 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 boys. "Do you have any questions before I turn you loose?"

Lilythe felt mildly embarrassed, and blushed bright red behind her blindfold after having asked. Her and Azrael had not really discussed their sexual preferences at all yet. She had taken a leap of faith that most of the basic kink items she had brought--her blindfold, the cuffs, a few toys--would likely not be too overwhelming for him. In the heat of the moment, however, she had forgotten that they hadn't discussed or negotiated a Dominant and Submissive dynamic, and that Azzy likely hadn't even thought about that level of control over her. Don't scare him... She chided herself. Thankfully, her anxiety seemed to be in vain as Azrael quickly adapted to the situation she had created. His response, though not necessarily a response she was used to hearing, indicated he was receptive enough to answer her. She began to moan loudly, as his thrusts grew harder and faster into her. She felt her body, hot with desire, tensing around his cock as her release inched ever closer. And when she finally came, she called out to him "Oh Azzy! Gods yes! I'm cumming!" She had been given permission so as it washed over her, she felt no guilt or shame in not waiting out for more.

I'm going to place a large amount of money on Cabin 5 for parent. Lilythe thought to herself as she saw the sheer and utter aggression that the child seemed ready to unleash. Raising her hands in mock surrender, Lilythe smiled, "Whoa there tiger. I'm not separating anyone. Cabin leader just means that I run one of the cabins in the camp. The kids get sorted by their parents. Siblings have the same parents so they would never be separated." She could tell that she was going to have her work cut out with this one. Well... Dustin's going to... She internally smirked at the thought. "It's nice to meet you both. This is a camp for children of a mortal and a greek god. 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. "See, not separated." With a soft sigh. "Now... I'm sure you've had a rough trip, so I'm not going to let that start us off on the wrong foot. So let's try again... 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 could hear the familiar sound of the front porch steps creaking, followed shortly by the front door swinging open. She smiled as she heard two unknown voices. New campers. "I'll be right there! Make yourselves at home." She called from the kitchen towards the front of the house. Lilythe poured a few 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 boys 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.

Lilythe had made plans to have a picnic with Shadow. It was something they hadn't done since they had dated, and Lilythe missed it. Lately she could feel her heart being pulled in two separate directions. She found herself being drawn more and more back towards Shadow, and doubting the purity of Azrael's intentions with her. She found herself being afraid that he would run away again and she would be alone and heartbroken again. Shadow was comforting. And from what she could tell, he seemed to genuinely be trying to change from what she could tell. He no longer tried to control who she spent her time with. She just happened to want to spend a lot of her time with him when she was free. Lilythe laid the blanket down on the grass and set the basket off to one side, sinking down onto her knees. She wore a short sun dress today, the kind with the lacing in the front that was easy enough to undo. Beneath it, she wore not a stitch of clothing. No underwear, no bra. Exactly as Daddy liked it when we were together. She had thought as she got ready for the day. Since Lilythe had let him talk her back into his bed that one time, she had gone back several times. Lilythe had missed the intimacy, and Shadow knew her body like no one else. He was able to completely surrender herself to him and she knew she would be safe. Lilythe found herself calling him 'Daddy' once more, and craving his gentle domination of her. Today was no different, really. Even the picnic had been in an effort to please him and bring a smile to his face.

Lilythe could hear the nerves in the poor boy'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 as well, Codie." She said with a reassuring smile. Settling into her chair, Lilythe nodded as he said he had questions. The first one made her chuckle internally. If only, kid. If only. "Well I suppose that's because we don't have a police station. There's no police to track down creatures. Just us." She shrugged, but grabbed her lemonade and 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 boy, or perhaps the boy hadn't thought to ask him anything. Lilythe had no way of knowing what had occurred on their trip after all. "There are lots of satyrs here. But they often go out looking for other half-bloods like us, to bring them here so they can be safe. You probably need a bit more explanation than that, but I'm going to answer your questions, I promise. It'll just be a lot to take in. You might want to get comfortable." "So, the important thing to note is that the Satyr didn't 'choose' you, he recognized what you were. A half-blood. Like me. We're the half-mortal children of the Greek Gods. Demigods." 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 his system. She was fairly certain he hadn't been told anything before arriving. "If I had to guess why your life 'falls apart' as you put it... I'd bet good money that it had to do with monsters." 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?"

Azrael's desire for her was as intoxicating as his touches themselves. The passion he displayed for her was uncontrolled, consuming, and absolutely thrilling. She had never in her whole life felt so wanted by a man. As his cock thrust in and out of her, Lilythe let out vocal approval for the sensations he gave her. As he pulled her legs up, she felt him hit deeper into her, and her back arched. "Oh my gods! Azzy!" Lilythe moaned as his cock bottomed out into her. As his pace increased, Lilythe gripped the cuffs holding her in place. She bit her lip trying to stifle the moans before they could become screams. The passion he displayed fueled her soul, while his physical efforts pushed her body to new heights. Lilythe had known to expect that he would express his desires with little reservation. He had always let his actions speak for him, but in the bedroom that appeared exceptionally so. The way he treated her conveyed emotions that could not have been expressed verbally. As she felt herself nearing a release, she asked. "Please can I cum, sir?"

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 boy 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.

@ Dustin Graves , You're going to give me a heart attack one day. I know I'm not your sister, but I feel like it sometimes. But I'm proud of the man you're becoming. You're a better cabin leader than you think. Keep those siblings of yours in line for me, and I'll try to do the same with mine. I think we both have our work cut out for us this coming year! Love,

@ James Selway , What can I say? You've been there for me through thick and thin. You're truly one of the best friends I could have ever asked for. I'm so happy you finally got your little bit of sunshine (if you know what I mean). Promise me you'll never change. Love you bunches!

@ Larissa Souza , Thank you for helping me sift through some chaos this year. It's been lovely having you back, and I cannot wait to have more adventures together. You're good for James, if I haven't told you. So I'm incredibly happy for you guys. Let's have a girls night with Vee soon. Love,

@ Vienna Pimm , I am so glad you're back home. I've missed you so much. I know I'm going to be in for a whole new mess of chaos this year, but I think I'm ready for it! We should have a girl's night with Rissa sometime soon. Ditch the boys, and just have some fun! Love,

@Unclaimed Camper, As Cabin Leader for Cabin 11, I get the distinct pleasure of being your temporary (or possibly permanent) home. I've been lucky to have such a diverse and interesting group of campers this year. You all certainly keep me busy! Remember, I'm always there if you need it--even after your parents claim you. Love, your temporary Cabin Mom,

@Child of a Minor Greek God, As Cabin Leader for Cabin 11 I've had the distinct privilege of watching you grow since you've been here. Being a teen is tough, but you'll get out the other end. I may not be your sister, but I'll always be there if you need it. Love, your Cabin Mom,

@Child of Hermes, Well... you two have certainly made my year interesting. I wouldn't have it any other way! Just do me a favor and try not to burn the cabin down... Your big sis,

Azzy, I cannot express just how happy you've made me since you came back home. I am beyond blessed to have you here and in my life. Thank you for burying the hatchet with Shadow. Thank you for bringing Vee home. And thank you for caring for me. You are such a romantic, and I fall more and more for you each and every day. Sorry I took so long... With All My Heart,

@ Shadow Moore , I'm glad you decided to come back. Grateful that we are able to still be in one another's lives. Thank you for burying the hatchet with Azrael, and for continuing to be the man I knew you were. I've missed you... Love Always,

"Nobody likes reading their flaws written out on paper." Lilythe said, a little surprised that Rissa was so cavalier about the idea. "But maybe you're right... I mean, honestly, the only real 'con' I can think of right now anyway is that he ran away rather than tell me how he feels. And he knows I'm upset about it. It's not a secret." Lilythe sighed. "Shadow? He won't. I don't think he could handle seeing me every day and not having control over me." It was true. After all they had been through over the years, Shadow's possessiveness and controlling of her really created a situation where he had just become too toxic for her to stay. Lilythe was fairly certain that seeing her move on with her life would absolutely destroy him. At least for a while. "I mean, maybe someday he will, but... I don't know. He wasn't always bad, Rissa. I still care a lot about him. But... I don't think I can be with him again. I think it'll just go right back to how it was. He need someone new who will set boundaries right away, rather than letting him control her." That was really where Lilythe had gone wrong. He hadn't always been possessive. But his possessiveness started and Lilythe attempted to appease his anxiety by giving in when he tried to control her. She thought that over time it would get better, but it never did, and when she tried to set boundaries he couldn't accept them. They started fighting all the time. It was the right thing to do to leave. They weren't healthy. Lilythe was really stunned when Rissa asked if she had ever allowed herself to feel that way about Azrael. "I..." She hadn't. She had always thought of him as a her friend, like James. She never once allowed herself to think of him as a man who might want her. "I guess I haven't..." Lilythe chewed her lip. "It was always Shadow... I didn't even think Azrael..." Shaking her head, she continued. "Azrael's good with people, mostly. He can be a little gruff at times, but usually he's pretty good with people. That's a good thing, right?"
