Deaths Child Has a Face (Open)

Ashton was messing with his powers outside of camp. He hadn't wanted to scare the younger campers with his powers yet. His mind was focused as he let a few shadows surround his hand. He smirked as he watched the ring of swirling darkness go around his hand. He had been trying to create something out of the shadows. Like a bracelet or a necklace charm. He sighed, he almost got it, but it wouldn't stick. Thankfully it didn't wipe any energy out of him.

Ashton decided on practicing raising the dead. He stood up and cracked his fingers. He made his hands point to the ground. He slowly raised them. Then there was a loud crack and a huge door popped up. His eyes widened as a guy stepped out. His only thought was 'I didn't think I could do that'

At first he thought the guy was a spirit he accidentally raised, until the guy started speaking. Ashton had been behind the door, so the guy hadn't seen him. He walked over and tapped his watch. His stygian iron sword came into view. He held it to the guys back.

"State your name, and if you can see the cabins. Oh and if you have any weapons, drop 'em." Ashton said quietly. He was just making sure this guy wasn't a spy for Charlie or something. He would have to send himself to serve his father if he let a Charlie follower into camp.

Ashton squinted his eyes. He slowly brought down his sword after hearing that the guys, James, father brought him here. And by the look of the door, it was underworld work. He twirled his sword and then stabbed it into the ground. He hit the hilt and it went back into its watch form on his wrist. James was obviously a demigod. But was he a child of Hades? The guy smelled of death. Which Ashton did as well most times. Ashton tugged on his grandmothers ring as he stared at the guy.

"Well, do you know who your dad is? I mean, you kind of look like me. Like death. And you also reek of underworld. Not saying its a bad thing, love the smell." Ashton said with a chuckle. "And sorry for the whole sword thing. We've had problems with spies and shit." He said with a shrug. Ashton was trying to be more friendly to people.

Ashton nodded as James said he knew his dad. He then let out a laugh at him saying they didn't look alike. Well it was true, other than the pale skin, they looked nothing alike. He shook his head. He should have thought before he had talked. Ashton was thankful that James was forgiving and forgetting. It was some what intriguing with the whole 'used to it' facade. Yet Ashton just nodded. He then held out his hand.

"Ashton Sojan, son of Hades. I'm 16 and have been here for 5 years." He said with a nod. He didn't feel the need to fear about James' reaction to him being the child of the ruler of the Underworld. Maybe he was one to? Probably not, Ashton didn't sense that much underworld vibe from him.

( That's the link you use! And I did, haha.... Whoops.)

Ashton shrugged after retracting his hand. He had never been good at the gods symbols. Names? He could name them all. But when it came to representation. Nada. Still trying to think of it, he caught onto James speaking. He listened. As soon as he said lieutenant, Ashton knew who his father was. He blinked as he watched him become all serious. So he did the same. Ashton's face shifted. He wouldn't give the guy his death glare, it would scare him. Well probably not.

"So Thanatos. He's a pretty cool guy. Met him a few times... But if I may ask, why so serious." Ashton asked, cocking his head. Making sure he had his eyes open a bit wider. He would not get attacked if it came to that.

Ashton nodded and he let his face relax. He was slightly scared they'd have a death off or something. And gods knows that wouldn't end well. He nodded as James spoke of not seeing his father. Ashton had seen his father multiple times. Usually when he would go to the Underworld. But they didn't really bond that well. It was like a distant relationship almost.

"Hey, you'll get to see him. Soon probably actually. I mean with a war brewing there are unforeseen deaths ahead." Ashton said with a frown. He didn't like thinking about that stuff. Child of Hades or not, he would never like it.

He let out a weak smile as James asked him about what he was doing. He was going to enjoy this. He raised his hands, after concentrating, and raised four skeleton soldiers. They saluted to Ashton before turning towards James.

"That, my friend, would be a power of a child from the underworld. You may obtain it over some time. Its easy to raise 6 at a time for me, but I like the number 4 so." Ashton said with a slight laugh.

Ashton clapped his few times due to being impressed. He nodded at James's comments. He had chuckled a bit at watching the warriors giving high fives and such. He made the skeletons go back into the ground. He watched as the last skull went under. He shook out his hands, as they tended to cramp after he let his powers out. He looked at the shimmering border and back at James.

"So, you want a tour or something? I mean, other than my siblings and Eli, you're the only person I can really connect with. You know?" Ashton said with a small smirk.

Ashton let out a small grin. He then held out his arms, as if to show something new. He let out a loud cough and cracked his neck. He turned around so her was now facing the camp. He decided this would be the best place to start off a tour as they were already there. He also decided he should begin talking. That may be a good idea.

"Well, as you can see, this is the entrance to camp. The giant blue shield thing basically protects it from the human eye and monsters. Well, now it also protects us from crazed nymphs and satyrs." Ashton said. He turned back around. "The shield kinda works like Hogwarts from those Harry Potter books. Except that's all make believe and stuff." He said to James.
