WARNINGS::</strong>None<br/><br/><br/><hr/>Mackenzie waited patiently, working to catch her breath as the elders focused on the boys that had been at the door when she barged in.  She didn't even know where to begin.  Would she start with what Hecate had actually said or was it what she didn't say that was more important?  Or maybe she should tell the Elders about how broken her goddess seemed like she couldn't be there wholly because of the problems or that she couldn't stay in one form.  It was...  It was almost too much but Kenzie knew this was important.  She had made a promise to the goddess and she wasn't foolish enough to break that deal.<br/><br/>When Akira closed the boys out of the room and asked Kenzie if she'd seen something, all she could do was nod.  She was about to say more but the Elders seemed to carry on without what she had to say.  And then the Athena boys barged in, demanding to be a part of the conversation.  Mackenzie couldn't believe what was happening right now.  She had met with one of the Gods of Olympus and yet her words were lost in the room.  No one was giving her room to speak, even as she stood there, looking into what could be.  Tears began to fill her eyes.  Was this how Cassandra felt when she knew everyone she ever cared about would die because they didn't listen to what she had to say...because they didn't care what she knew?<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"STOP IT!"</span></span>Mackenzie screamed out, tears pouring down her cheeks when Akira seemed to be getting ready to dismiss them.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"STOP IT!  STOP IT!  STOP IT!"</span></span>Her eyes glowed the blue of the Goddess's night and an aura of power began to radiant from the girl's body.  She had never stooped so low as this.  She had never yelled at an Elder.  She had never, as an adult, thrown a tantrum like a child.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"Don't you see what you're doing?!?</span></span>She looked directly at Akira when she spoke.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"You're making the same mistakes of the past!  You three, more than anyone else here, should know what these mistakes have cost strong civilizations before us!"</span></span>Her eyes began to shift among all that were present but she didn't see them.  She couldn't see them with her vision not present in the now.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"I may be younger than you three and I may not serve this camp as a damn Elder but get your heads out of your asses for once!  You almost turned away two of the camp's greatest strategists because they're not Elders."</span></span>She said, putting air quotes around the term 'Elders'.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"I've been visited by a Goddess and you haven't let me get a word in edgewise since I got here because I'm not an Elder.  When are you going to learn that your status as Elders is <em>not</em> one that means only you matter?  This is a camp for people who were born of the Gods and people who the Gods put so much faith in, they gave their blessing.  You believe that the camp can't handle it, but you know what I'm starting to think?  I think it's <em>you</em> that can't handle the fact that you are <em>not</em> the blessed anymore.  And I see it right now.  If you can't learn to listen and let us do what we were blessed to do...  If you continue to make the mistakes of generations before you, this camp <em><strong>will</strong></em> fall.</span></span><br/><br/>With that, Kenzie took a deep breath and her eyes returned to their normal color.  Her tears dried to her cheeks and she slunk back towards the door.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;">"I'm sorry if you feel that was out of line, and I will leave if you can't accept it, but it's true.  And until the day you realize it, all I can see is doom."</span></span>
