Kenna Rhys

Kenna was told right when she got to the camp that there was one special thing she would have to learn from her brothers and sisters. That would be how to learn to make the fireworks for the evening of the 4th of July which they do every year. These were not your average fireworks but ones that could have anything from a battle scene in it to a flowers. It took time and skill to put them all together before the evening of the big day! At first Kenna was a bit nervous but then over time she found herself really love learning from her half siblings.

The day had come which meant they needed to set up on the beach before the rest of the camp showed up. James was kind enough to help them get stuff together as the day went on. But soon enough it was all done and the campers began to trickle in to find themselves a spot with their cabin or maybe a crush or loved one. Kenna being newer to the camp was just super jazzed about this so she volunteered to help set off fireworks when it became time.

Kenna watched her older brother in front of her as he spoke. Her eyes looking him over as he she listened to him speak. Her brother was much older than her but he was as in shape for sure. The young girl being so new to this having siblings thing was having confusing feelings for her brother. Stefan was cool but also he was ummmmm kind of cute. But she knew this was weird as they were siblings right? "Oh that is cool" she said about the clock as the flashlight was turned off. "Yeah I guess I just couldn't figure out which part was not acting right. I swear I took it apart several times too" she said a bit frustrated. I guess maybe she just needed time to get more experience with the machines to get a handle on it. I mean after all she had just got to camp this year!

Stefan then went on to take about the thing that was his bionic arm. "Wow you did that is so cool I mean that you built it with the others..." she went a little red as she hoped he didn't think she was thinking it was cool he only had one arm. "I guess that is one cool thing about our cabin is that we all can help each other out" she said thinking how much she still had to learn! Kenna was starring at the arm for a bit too long when she shook her head and looked embarrassed. I mean you weren't suppose to do that right? 

Kenna was sad about her machine but then happy to see Stefan who she knew had so much knowledge with machines. He would know how to fix it right? But when she saw his grimace she knew it wasn't good. Her face then looked worried with wide eyes as she listened to him. "Okay" she said sadly as she put her spider back in her bag. They would work on it later ang then it would be ready for use once again. When she finished she looked up to see the mechanical dog that Stefan had called. "Woah so cool big brother" a smile on her face. Looking towards Katie she knew this was a strong opponent! Reaching to her side it seemed she might have to take a more hands on approach. Pulling out a sword she had gotten from one of the others in her cabin. At first it looked small until it expanded to a full sword for her height. 

Kenna was trying to figure out what in the world the girl was throwing at her spider. This machine was her baby so she didn't want it to get hurt in any way. The ropes did not work as well as she hoped. But MK stepped in, to take Katie on which she was happy about because she was stuck at the moment. Feeling frustrated with her spider she ran over to it to grab it. "What is wrong with you?" she said trying to let her abilities help her. Looking up she saw Stefan. Oh thank goodness her brother was here. He would  know what to do. Running to him she held out her spider "She threw something on it and it isn't working.....help me?" 

Kenna watched as her machine did its job going towards the girl which she totally freaked. "YESSSSS" she said making a success pump with her fist in the air. Watching what was going to happen next was one she did not see coming. The girl brought what???? It was something that she was throwing at the machine that she thought maybe it was a kind of chemical. The spider machine backed away a bit as it tried to move quickly around the other way. Reaching in her pocket she pulled out a remote for the spider. Pushing a button it began to release ropes which was shot at Katie's knees. 

Kenna was a bit nervous as she was new to this game! Being on the red team meant she was with her siblings as they all used the different skills they had with some of the machines they had built. There were a few mechanical spiders in her pocket she had ready to use. They were ones she had worked on just the other day with a ton of gadgets in it. So as she was hiding from the side she watched as the daughter of Nike was challenging the Athena girl. She had been claimed with her the night she arrived. With a smirk she reached in her pocket to pull out the spider machines. As they opened and came active in her hand. She put it down and whispered to go to Katie. 

It was well known that Children of Athena hated spiders because of their mother. Smirking she saw the spider go crawling towards Katie. 

Being one that was always engrossed with her work it was sort of easy to always sneak up on her. So when Stefan did she screamed but then calmed herself down. "It's okay, I should get this focused as it makes me a target" she laughed thinking about what just happened. It was true that she loved to work on her gadgets but it was one that took all her focus as her ADHD made it worse at times to figure things out. It had only been a bit since the summer started. So it wasn't as if she knew the other siblings she had very well but if she had to put her finger on Stefan it would be one who loved a laugh. 

Happy to have anothers help, she knew it might help her in the long run. Following him to the workbench she watched him carefully as he got a light to help him. Her face watching the gadget until he spoke. Her gaze going to him with a shocked look that he found it already. She had been looking for such a long time too!!! He had seen two gears not in place "I knew it had to be a gear or two" she said making an annoyed look. Her eyes then going back to him amazed at his skill. "Yeah, thanks for helping...ummmm have you built something like this before?" Her curiosity of how he found it so fast got to her. Kenna put her hands back out to take the contraption from him to work on it once again. 

Kenna was happy to be able to share the ring with someone as she hated to keep secrets. So pulling out the sketch her face was full of excitement as it seemed that savanna was excited too. "I don't know but it will be beautiful when I am done with it" she finished saying with a bit of pride in her voice. Shrugging to her second question as she didn't really know the lives of the older campers. Being so new to the camp she only knew her cabin mostly. "I guess we will see" she giggled as she put the drawing back in her pocket. Kenna had not got to talk about her mom a lot since she got here since everyone just wanted to talk about her dad. He was the one who gave her abilities but again her mom was cool too.

"Yeah she works as a jewelry maker in this town in North Carolina" she said thinking about her time in the mountains and how much she loved it there. The place was one that was so peaceful at times well that was until the monsters came. Nodding her head he was proud of how much she got to do in the "Yeah she started me sort of young likeeeee ummmm maybe 8.....but I had a natural ability you know and she was not going to hold me back" she finished saying. Kenna had always been one to tinker with things but when she started to mold metal it was just like something was awaken in her. Nodding her head to savanna saying she would be her favorite person it made her feel happy. 

Kenna was getting into her groove as she was showing the different steps in the process. "Ohhh just a few moments before I pour it" then picking it up she poured the metal in the model for the ring. "Then maybe 10 minutes once the air hits it" she said laughing. This was going to be so exciting as she was doing something she felt good at for once....unlike school.  "What have you thought about your cabin?" 

This had not been the first time she got lost in tinkering with things which was not always the best thing. Because of this, it meant people could sneak up on her. Which happened all the time with her mom in the shop back home. It just meant she was a tad bit jumpy. Feeling the tap on the shoulder she looked to that shoulder to see no one but then turned to see Stefan her older half-brother right next to her. "Holyyyyyy mother of pearl" she yelled as she tried to calm down. Putting on hand on her head then shaking it as she listened to him. 

Feeling a bit embarrassed as he was super close to her face, feeling her face go hot as the guy was attractive. He was her half brother but she had just met him. "Yeah that is my name and ummmmmmmm sure you can look" she could feel herself blush even harder. Holding it up for him to take a look at "I think there is a gear or two that isn't place right but I can't find where." She said trying to not look like a idiot. Being one of the youngest in the cabin it meant she needed to prove herself but she also had a ton to learn too.

Kenna was a bit shy around her half-siblings. Some had tried to get her to open up and talk to her but it was hard for her. She had always been an introverted girl who just loved to work with her hands. Most of the summer she was found tinkering with watches or machines in the corner of some room or even in the mess hall. This day was so different as she was trying to improve this machine she was making as a moving alarm clock. Hoping to bring it back with her to asheville when she got to be with her mom again. She was not a morning person, so it was to help with getting up for school. Knowing there would be many more challenges ahead of her, this was an easy one to take care of right now while she had the tools with her to get it working.

Walking into the forge, she was fixing a part that seemed to get stuck quite often. "Come on work" she said to herself not looking up as the heat hit her. The sound of people hitting metal was just music to her ears at this point. Stopping her stride, kenna's gaze looked around to see who all was in the room with her.

@ Stefan Köhler

Kenna was not expecting someone to be inviting her to go back to camp together. "Ohhhhhh sure" she answered after a huge pause. The question had taken her by surprise as she had just met this girl like right now. But then quickly telling her that she had a request from someone. "Well this older guy named James" she said fidgeting with her fingers, looking down at them and back up at her. "He said he wanted me to make a ring for this girl he liked, which my mom does this sort of thing." He said with a shy smile. That was when she reached in her pocket to bring out the drawing of the ring. Scratching her head with a laugh when she said that she knew who to go to for things. "Well if I get better with weapons for sure......I am not good with those just yet" she blushed as she looked back at the wall of weapons that were made by all her brothers and sisters. 

"Yeah sure, I mean I had a made a mold to start out with. So I will melt the gold down first" she said with a smile. Then getting the right piece she started to melt it down. The fire would have to be really hot as the gold had s very high melting point. As it was getting there, she rushed over to the tongs to pull out the stone that had the melted metal in it. Slowing she then rushed it to the mold which she poured it into it. A smirk on her face as this was so much fun for her. This had always been her element of sorts as she was good with her hands. Looking back up to her friend "Got it melted and now to let it cool for a little bit before I open the mold to smooth it out and began to work with the jewels." 

Kenna watched as the girl talked more about just how warm it was which made her giggle. "That would be a funny shaped pie" she joked to her hoping she wouldn't take it as a mean statement. It was something she was working on, but making friends was a big part of camp. This would be a challenge for her as she was very shy but she was trying. Every part of her just wanted to start working in the forge and never come back out. Seeing the girl yawn made her smile as she was a daughter of hypnos. "It is okay" hoping she know that she got it. The camp was a whole mystery to her right now as she had been to the mess hall, big house and bonfire. Other than her own cabin plus the forge which she just walked into. "Yess it is kind of big, I feel I might get lost" she said blushing a bit but then listened as the girl asked if she was going to make something. Nodding her head she had an idea from a design of something a camper asked for them all to make. "Oh yes, one of the older campers asked for something and well" she scratched the back of her head again "I sort of have good experience in this" she thought of her mom and began to miss her. 

"You can totally watch" she said feeling excited to show her skill of something she had always loved to someone. Going over to the metal area she began to pick up different pieces as she had this sense telling her how good it was. Picking a gold chunk she nodded "This one" she threw it in the air and caught it. Cracking her neck she then walked to the area with the fire was burning hot, sticking the metal piece in she was getting it all nice and toasty.

As she walked into the forge it felt as if she was suppose to be there as the heat felt so nice on her skin. Honestly it could be hotter and she would be fine. But it was a noise of someone talking behind her that got her to turn to see the other girl from the claiming ceremony. She was the one that was in Hypnos, if she remembered right. "This isn't that bad" she laughed looking super shy "I mean I could deal with it even if it was hotter" she said laughing. Kenna walked to the girl and told herself to be brave. She needed to make friends but that wasn't going to happen if she did not step up and try. "I am Kenna" she said blushing as she scratched the back of her head. "So what brings you to the forge?"  Maybe the girl was looking for a new weapon or even just checking it out for the first time like she had been doing.

Kenna was not thinking she would be claimed so quickly....I mean she looked up to see the flame and hammer above her head. Looking back at Lilythe to see what this meant as this was just so new to her. "Really??? Thank you" she looked over to the group that was cheering for her to join them. They all looked like they had been working in a hot area cause some soot was still on them. Finding herself smiling she got up and rushed over to Cabin 9 area, taking her place with all the other campers in that cabin. This meant they were her family and she would not be so alone then.....how nice. Looking around it felt good to have her surrounded by family in this new journey she was going to be on.

Kenna was a child of Hephaestus.........she was still shocked that her dad was a God. That she now had a family that all liked the things she did which was way cool! I mean they even had better ways of making things with their hands and such. The first night was so nerve racking as the cabin did a bunch of stuff to show her the new diggs she had! It wasn't that she had a cabin with all the things she needed to make the coolest machines and gear but also a forge where she could make new weapons. Her mother had such a place like this as well so it only made sense that they would have one too.

Being the very next day after the claiming, she was taken to the forge by her half brothers and sister who all wanted to see what she could do. I mean her mom did made metal jewelry but this was much bigger and different. So as she walked in to see it, her mouth dropped open "WOAHHHHHH" she said looking around feeling so happy. Then getting to the station she got her gear on and began to work with the metal they had for her.

OPEN (come watch Kenna or ask for a new weapon or get one fixed!)

Kenna had talked to Lilythe earlier that day all about being a demi-god and how she might get claimed. The rest of the day she spent it fiddling with one of hre contraptions she kept in her pocket. Kenna walked by all the different cabins as campers came and went. She tried to dream of what it was going to be like when it happened. Would she feel happy that she had more family to bond with? The day went by fast as she watched two older campers have a sword battle and she went to visit the horses. This had been a relatively good day for her in a long time.  As she sat there waiting with some of the other campers. She saw one of the campers who she didn't know yet get claimed. "WOAHHHH" she said as the owl appeared above her head. Lilyth called it out and had her sit down by the other cabin 6 members. Trembling a bit she wondered if this was the night or was it going to be another one??

Kenna felt as if she was learning so much that made life make more sense. When those around her could not see the monsters the mist was the answer. Taking in a breath of relief she felt a bit better knowing those there could also see through the mist. Nodding her head she wanted Lilythe to know she got it. Then she talked about being claimed. Kenna had no idea who her parent was but she was ready to find out for sure. "Cool" was all that came out as she tried to imagine her own claiming. Kenna followed as she watched where she pointed. In the distance was a campfire area. The bonfire was where she would go to tonight and hope her parent would claim her. "Thanks Lilythe, I guess I will see you later then?" She said waving to her as she began to walk around. She wanted to explore and maybe look at all the cabins from the outside. Who was her parent going to be???

She nodded her head feeling a bit better that it was all making sense now. Kenna wasn't crazy after all just a child of a mortal and apparently a god or goddess. Feeling a bit better than she had she took a deep breath as they moved on. "So the mist what controls it?" she didn't know if this question had an answer but she was curious if the gods did it or if monsters could control it. After all this time things were starting to make sense in her life and she felt a bit better about it all. At least........at least she wasn't alone anymore.

A smile broke out on her face when lilythe said she could stay with her. She would know one other person! "What happens when they claim me?" she looked concerned. Where did she stay then? This was her first concern before she asked about the camp, which sounded nice but she hoped there would be time to build some things too!!!

Kenna just ignored those around her. It seemed the girl she bumped into was trying to do the same as well. She hated how kids could be even though she was one of them. Getting pulled up she dusted herself off and then followed the girl away from the attention they had gotten. The two of them found a quieter place which she was happy about. Then listening to the girl she introduced herself as Elena. She nodded her head "You as well" she gave her a smile. That was when she sighed "Not yet but hopefully soon, I just turned thirteen so I am hoping to find out who my dad is! What about you?" 

Kenna had always felt there was something missing in her life. That she was meant for something greater than just working in a jewelry making shop. That her father had been someone great! She felt so different than anyone in her family. Like she was not really apart of it. Always being the source of the problems she was the one getting in trouble when attacked or getting kicked out of schools. As Lilythe talked more about the gods she sat forward listening as if she was in a history class. This was far too outlandish to be fake. Who would have come up with a story like this? "That would explain a lot. Like the girl bullies at school with fangs for teeth or the time I was chased in the city by something with wings." 

Kenna smiled back at Lilythe. "Cool so i get to stay with you then!" She looked at her like she was an older family member. That was when she asked her if she had any questions. "Ummmm like what do you do here at camp? " 

The hustle and bustle of camp seemed to over whelmed Kenna. She would rather be in her room tinkering with some gears or metal so she could make something. That was when she looked towards one of the cabins that looked interesting to her. It was hard to describe but it was something she couldn't look away from when someone ran into her. She fell back on the ground just like the other camper did too. "Woah" she called out falling to the ground. That is when she began to rub her bum. "It is okay" she said with a shy smile "I wasn't watching where I was going either. I was sort of in a daze." Then sitting forward she held out her hand. The other campers were laughing and pointing at the two of them. "I am kenna"
