Death Arrives

Saber · Dec 25, 2016

Jonathan Rathier moved through the crowds of people, snow crunching under his feet, a duffel bag over one shoulder, he was many things, a teenager, the adopted son of a general, an aspect of Death, but at the moment he was very lost. He had just arrived, after two years of blood and violence he had arrived at place where he could find answers, and maybe find peace.

He rounded a corner trying to remember the directions someone had given him to the school, as his gray eyes looked over the street he noticed a girl around his age, relived that he'd found someone who could help, so he approached her, "hey there, I just got here, and I'm kinda lost. I'm trying to find my way to the school."

Summer had finally managed to escape the shrines.

It had been.. what? Three, four weeks since she had arrived on Manta Carlos? The island had been astonishing to look at when she saw it from the boats, but they immediately pushed her towards the shrines and got her set up there. Since then, they had almost fully integrated her into their system - working in the gardens and the kitchens, making sure the shrine to both of her fathers were maintained without any kind of blemish. If there was? She would have to do it all over. Respect the gods entirely, never even say "oh my god" or "oh god no" or anything of the like.

Getting out for a breath of fresh air was honestly a miracle. But the cold hit her a lot harder than she thought, and she would only be able to prey to her father Apollo that he would not give her any prophecies right while she was out because navigating her way home would be a bitch - especially since she only recently knew the address and had to keep checking her phone to make sure it was right.

But Lady Luck decided to screw her over today as she ran straight into someone who reeked of death so badly that she wanted to vomit and cry at the same time. It was more than the cold that sent up her spine and forced her body to vibrate like a phone that would not stop getting brand new text messages without a pause.

The young woman jumped back, her hands forcefully shoved into the pockets of her rather thick coat and her nose pressed into the scarf wrapped securely around her throat. It was only after she starred at him for a moment that she realized he had actually spoken to her.

"Yeah uh..." She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Too be entirely honest, I don't know myself. I've only gotten here recently.. haven't memorized all the streets yet."

He gave her a calm smile, "oh, a newcomer as well, I literally stepped off the boat just a few hours ago," he shifted his bag to his other shoulder and shivered slightly, he didn't have many clothes and the one coat he had was light and not doing much to keep him warm.

"When I was told that this was an island I couldn't help but imagine a tropical one," he chuckled a little bit, "imagine my surprise when I found snow and ice here," despite him shivering his smile never left his face, ironically for a death being he was quite positive about some things.

"Anyways I'm John Rathier," he held out his hand for her to shake, "gotta say, I didn't really mind getting lost, I've already seen things I never thought existed, all because I ended up wandering around."

While the newest addition to the island -at least in Summer's mind and awareness- spoke, Summer tried to get her mind under control with the new flaring hormones that screamed both danger and familiarity simultaneously. Electric blue flicked over him as she took in his appearance. For someone who radiated death like the sun radiated energy and heat, he looked positively... ordinary. Had she not sensed the death on him, he would have looked like someone she may have met back at her old school.

"I see." She muttered, though truthfully she had not entirely heard what he was chattering about. But that was impolite to say, and she hated people repeating themselves. The Demigod glanced at his hand and hesitantly extended her own - it was covered in a thick glove in her futile attempts to balance her own body temperature but the conflicting internal aspects seemed to want to kill her with how regular she needed to keep her environment.

"Summer." She introduced herself, "Nice to meet you. Where are you from, if I may ask?" Though the feeling of Death was familiar, those associated with it seemed to vary in where they were originally from... even entirely different versions of the Underworld or Hell or whatever that person wanted to call it.

He shook her hand, a bit grateful for the temporary warmth her gloved hand granted his uncovered ones, "it's good to meet you Summer," it was nice to get a friendly welcome, even if she did seem a bit distracted, "I'm from the US, a little town in upstate New York," it had been a long time sense he'd been home.

He chuckled, "a few years ago I would have called you crazy if you told me there was a magic island hidden out here," his calm smile never left his face, though he was terrified of his powers, terrified of what his apparent destiny was, he was gonna try and stay positive, "it's like all those fantasy novels I used to read are all suddenly real." He tried to pull his coat a bit tighter around himself, "I saw a dragon on my way in, couldn't help but think of some of the books I've read."

"Yeah, well. Welcome to the club." She muttered under her breath, shuffling slightly. She too had ended up on the island after finding out that hey, magic was real! Summer wanted to go back to just thinking her father was absolutely bonkers for worshiping gods who were apart of myth from ancient civilizations. Just her luck that she would end up a daughter of two of those gods handed over because one of them had partied just a little too hard and probably took a dare a little too seriously.

Huffing slightly, she kicked a batch of snow though it was not clear on whether or not this was in annoyance or boredom. "Yeah. I've been here only a few weeks and pretty much everything and anything you can think of is here - it's ridiculous. So uh.. Everyone is something or whatever that got them here.e Humans with magical powers. Faeries. Vampires. Literal five headed dragons. Oracles. What's got you here?"

He mentally considered how to answer her question, he didn't like the idea of admitting to being a harbinger of the apocalypse, but he didn't like the idea of lying to a potential friend, not when he was finally starting over.

"I'm not completely sure myself, I cam here to learn more about my powers and how they work," he'd had his powers for two years, and had used them to destroy the cult that murdered his parents, but he was telling the truth, he didn't really understand what he was beyond the usual interpretation of what a Horseman of the Apocalypse was.

"I ran into a scout who told me about the school," in truth the scout had found him after a failed suicide attempt, "so I agreed to come here, figure things out," he wanted answers, he wanted to know if he really was destined to aid in the end of the world.

Summer just listened to him chatter about why exactly he was there as she shifted side to side in an attempt to keep her body at a reasonable temperature - though she did that without much luck. The young woman hated how the two aspects were constantly bickering with her internal temperature but it had always been this way so she kind of learned to just deal with it. Right now, she missed her little "hacks" that she had at home to keep herself steady.

"I see. Well, good thing a scout found you then. I kind of have a similar thing - I have no idea how exactly to control my own abilities. But live and learn, as they say? I guess." Summer shrugged and looked at him with a look of amusement. "Most people come to that school to figure out just what they can do and well.. how to use it. I mean, there are entire businesses where people use their abilities to help."

Of course she had heard all of this more out of word-of-mouth due to her time cooped up but they promised that she could go into the school once she had gotten herself settled. For now, the school was letting her slide because of 'religious reasons' - something that would not fly for long.

He nodded, "your not enrolled at the school yet?" he asked interested in how she could live here and not go to the academy, "and yea, it was good that the scout found me when they did, if I had known the place existed I would have come a long time ago."

He thought about his abilities, being a manifestation of death wasn't something he wanted to make public, especially sense he was apparently destined to help cause the end of the world, "yea, not long ago I was just a normal kid, it's strange."

He noticed her shifting about trying to keep herself war, he looked around and noticed a coffee shop, "wanna head inside? warm up a bit and get some coffee?"

"Not really. I have to settle in first, ya know?" Summer shrugged. "Especially since this entire island is pretty much everything I was told was a myth and folklore. So settling in is gonna take a lot longer than just unpacking some boxes." That was fair. Both of them had been in a normal environment than thrust into a place full of magic and a special kind of mayhem.

The offer of coffee was tempting, even if she very deeply hated the flavor and the smell. But the offer of coffee offered warmth and food, two things that Summer could not deny combined. The young woman nodded to him, motioning for him to lead the way.

"Sure, thank you. So uh... What grade are you in? Or rather, what grade are you going into?" Asked Summer as they headed towards their next destination in search of some nice hot drinks and maybe some snacks. At least, that was what Summer was going to search for.
