Riu jerked her head towards the opening doors and her eyes widen as she saw just a kid walk into the church. She stepped forward to warn the kid this was not a place to play, when Hermes flew by her. She gasped, an instinct of need to protect the kid running through her. She let out a soft growl as a warning and watched the scene unfold in front of her with her eyes growing wide.<br/><br/>She let out a soft shriek at the arrows and covered her mouth as she watched the two battle out. She didn't seem to notice the sudden disappearance and reappearance of the staff and shield, or she did but didn't seem to care at the moment as her focus was on the fight itself and the girl. She gasped when Hermes finished her off with a punch to her face, sending her flying. "Stop it!" She glared at Hermes as he seemed satisfied. He didn't even give Riu a glance as she glared at him while walking past and rushing over to the girl.<br/><br/>"Are you okay? I can't believe that man would hurt such a young girl!" She glared over at Hermes again as she sat next to the girl and quickly tilted the girl's face towards her to check out her cheek. She didn't even ask, but was quickly giving the complete stranger a once over. She hated violence. Never cared for it. Even now, as she wanted to throw Hermes to the ground and strangle him, she kept her cool. Though whose to know if she got her revenge later on or not. After checking the girl over she turned towards Hermes and was about to berate him with a lecture fit for an overprotective mother before the doors opened again.<br/><br/>Her head jerked towards to a young man appearing before she put her hands on her hips and twisted around to glare at Hermes. She dared him to try and start anything else but he only grinned her way with a wink that shot all the hairs up on the back of her neck. She narrowed her eyes as she watched the interaction between the new man and Hermes and tapped her foot on the wooden floor in impatience. She let them finish their little pun joke at the end, a soft huff escaping her breath at the childishness of it and was about to open her mouth again to berate them both when the door open.<br/><br/>"Oh for pete's sake! Who else did you invite?!" Riu's outburst echoed in the church. When Hermes began to talk about parents again, like he did with almost everyone, she narrowed her eyes at him. Her mind began to tick. Something was off. Something was really, really off. She probably should have guessed. I mean the man was levitating in the air. She did just get attack by a monster yesterday, but the common theme of his greetings caught her attention. For her it was her mother, for most it seemed to be about their father. She wanted to ask him about this but hesitated. Hermes turned his gaze towards her for a second and raised an eyebrow with a sinister grin, as if daring her. She huffed, crossing her arms across her chest and ground her teeth together. She was NOT going to let him win.<br/><br/>When the new member of their little strange get together collapsed, she gasped and went full on mother mode. She rushed over to him and quickly sat him up against one of the broken pews. She softly shook him. "Hey, are you okay?"<br/><br/>At the sudden booming voice of Hermes, Riu yelped and jerked around towards him before twisting around to the entrance to see two new members. She stood up straight, put her hands on her hips again, and glared at the new comers. One of them was actually pretty hot, and she tried not to stare as a soft blush colored her cheeks, but the other ones just seemed annoying to her. At the annoying mans words of calling them all talent-less wannabes she gasped and then growled.<br/><br/>The felt a sudden urge to protect her new group, and she decided to ignore her rational brain questioning her sudden possessiveness and overprotective nature of random strangers she had now claimed as her group. She took a few steps towards the new comers, still ignoring the hot guy that seemed more like a servant the way he stood there stoic, and glared at the annoying one.<br/><br/>"Talent-less wannabes? Who are you to call us talent-less wannabes? I don't even know who you are! Stop acting like you're some famous celebrity! You're the wannabe!" She yelled out and Hermes groaned, face palming himself at her outburst.<br/><br/>"Sweetheart-"<br/><br/>"Don't you dare call me that!" She swirled around at him and pointed her finger. "You dragged all these people here, tried to kill one of them, talking about our parents like you know all about us. I mean how the fuck do you know my mother can't keep her plants alive? I guess she does use social media quite often... but that doesn't mean you know I send her plants! Though she does post about that too..." Riu hesitated, wondering if she needed to teach her mom how to make her social media updates less public for all to see.<br/><br/>Hermes just let Riu rant on for a minute until she slowly came down to mumbling about social media and privacy updates. Hermes looked over at the new members, grinning at Mack before glancing to Bevans. "Yo Bevans! Long time no see! How's it hanging? You're so lucky you get to watch out for the one and only Mack!" Hermes sighed as if jealous of the situation before he shrugged his shoulders and hovered in the air with his legs crossed again.<br/><br/>"You're not here for a new movie, sorry to say. I promise I would never match you up with talentless wannabes such as these people."<br/><br/>"You little-."<br/><br/>"Chill out mama bear, I'm trying to explain the situation." Hermes gave a grin towards Riu, whose face flushed a bright red at the term 'mama bear'. Suddenly his face turned serious and he straightened his legs as he seemed to raised higher into the air.<br/><br/>"Welcome oh Demigods!" He voiced boomed and shook the church. "You are in grave danger!"<br/><br/>"Oh get over the stupid theatrics you stupid weird flying man!" Riu yelled up at him.<br/><br/>"Don't ruin my fun woman!"<br/><br/>"What did you just say?!"<br/><br/>Hermes groaned and lowed back down slowly, sharing a quick glaring contest with Riu before huffing and crossing his legs again, resting his elbow on one of his knees and resting his head on his upraised hand. "You're no fun..." He muttered before sighing again. "I had this whole plan and you ruined it."<br/><br/>Riu raised an eyebrow at him and smirked. "Aw, did I ruin your playtime?"<br/><br/>Hermes was suddenly in her face and she yelped tripping back and falling on her ass. His serious express gave her chills. "I have a message, and you will not stop me from delivering it!" His voice boomed in the church before he stood up straight again.<br/><br/>"As you noticed, yesterday you were all attacked from strange monsters. They were very real and very dangerous. I'm sure you've all read and heard about mythology, well guess what? It's all true! Those beast were real and they are now followers of a Titan. A Titan that has escaped and is now roaming your human world in search of Demigods such as yourself to suck the life out of you, literally. You've heard the news right? The strange death occurring all across the globe? That is the Titan's doing. Just as those attacks against you the Titan's doing as well. You survived because you were chosen."<br/><br/>Hermes paused, letting his words sink in before opening his mouth again with his loud booming voice.<br/><br/>"You are chosen as the few, the few who have grown in amidst humanity, to save it from what it cannot save itself from. You... are demigods."<br/><br/>He looked towards Riu who hadn't let a peep out now and stared at him with wide eyes. "Riu Estivale. Daughter of Demeter. Descendant of the Goddess of Harvest and Fertility!"<br/><br/>He turned towards Mack. "Makednos. Son of Zeus! Descendant of the God of the Sky and Lighting and King of Olympia!"<br/><br/>Next he turned towards Skye. "Skyler Rodrick. Daughter of Ares. Descendant of the God of War!"<br/><br/>He moved towards Adrien. "Adrien Kingsley. Son of Apollo. Descendant of the God of Healing, Prophecy, and the Sun."<br/><br/>Hermes then moved to last of the group, Jaxon. "Jaxon Isle. Son of Hades. Descendant of the God of the Underworld."<br/><br/>"You are the Prophecy. You are the sole heroes of this journey. You..." Hermes paused, the serious and chilling facade he developed in his introductions suddenly cracking with a huge spread wide grin. "Did you like that? That was pretty cool right? It would have been better if someone, " he glaringly pointed at Riu, "hadn't ruined my fun!"
