We walked towards the castle for what felt like hours, not getting any closer, for
what felt like hours wondering if we would ever save the others. "How many
people, will we have to fight?" I wondered aloud "I don't know…" she shrugged.
then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw two people in bright orange shirts that
stuck out. "People!" I exclaimed "maybe they're friendly…." she said unsure "If
They aren't, we can take them." I said nodding as we approached the strangers.
when we got closer I tried to read the text on their shirts but the other words on it
weren't visible due to stains but one word I could read said Camp. when we got
Closer the girl pulled a pen out of her pocket and the guy whispered something to
Her and she reluctantly nodded, still holding the ballpoint pen in her hand.
"Do you work for Raginhild?" Jules asked. The campers looked confused.
"Nevermind!" I said quickly I shivered then noticed that one of them was giving
off an icy ora, and the other was giving off a salty ocean scent. I inched closer
To Jules. The girl started shooting questions at us faster than we could respond.
"Who are you?"
"Are you two demigods?"
"Why are you so far from camp?"
"Why is your skin so grey?"
"Why-"
The one that seemed to give off the icy ora said "maybe slow down with the
Questions, Jules" and laughed a little. "If you're not working for Ragnhild who are
You?" I asked, "are you also escapees?" I asked knowing they weren't. They
aren't on any team I'd ever seen. "And if you are, can you help us?"I said
Knowing it was risky giving away our plans but in truth, we needed all the help
We can get. They talked quietly before the icy one said "what do you need help
With?" "our friends, got captured and were going to storm the fortress" they had a silent
conversation before the salty one said "we're in, but who are you? Your
obviously not demigods, if your this far from camp…" "if they're not campers we
probably shouldn't tell them more, Jul." the one who was probably called Julia
Nodded. the girl introduced herself as Julia and the Boy windmal. After a short
conversation we were on the road.
