He didn't even act scared as the Fire came hurtling towards him. Lazily with a flick of his wrist he placed up a shielf of water the fire crashing into it and smoke filling the air. " Is that all you can do?" Just to be spiteful he sent a wave of water flying fast at Ignis, Alysia and Destirel smirking some when it soaked them. " I could create a bubble like this." Opening his hand he played with the bubble before slowly expaninding it. " Let it grow and entrap you in the water, it might be fun to watch you drown?" Closing his hand the bubble disappeared. " Or, perhaps something worse."
There were many abilities his powers could do, and thanks to his mothers own darkness he new how to get the best out of them. " Should I manipulate the weather, I do enjoy a good storm."

"You could try and trap me all you want for your water would turn to steam as soon as it touched me." He spoke low, not even glancing as the water soak a now peeved nymph and wet Alysia. The water steamed up though as Ignis dried herself and Alysia's dress. This was enough, she didn't want anyone to get hurt. Telling Alysia to stay there, she vanished in a fire ball.
"Oh, do create a storm. The rain makes me ever so cheery." He taunted to water gifted god. Destirel could easily turn that against him. His storm would be the perfect breeding grounds for a fire torn tornado. Wouldn't that cause some damage to the little prick, his cocky smile wouldn't be there either if a lava titan came crashing down on his parade.
Three fireballs he formed, throwing each onto the ground. It may have seemed silly but they grew on the rocky floor, seeping in and causing the air to become hazy as the temperature grew and lava seeped towards Elias. "Your water cannot put this out so easily. Do you have it in you to try or will you run away?" Destirel challeneged, the glowing liquid rock beginning to bubble.

The water hit her fast and Alysia gasped in suprise then instantly shivered at the coldness. What a horrible feeling being in a wet heavy dress. When Ignis dried the dress up for her though she fixed the nymph a grateful look. " Thanks Ignis it was cold." She spoke softly. Nibbling uncertiantly on her lip she leant against the wall as Ignis disapeared now she could only hope the nymph would hurry back. She wasn't to sure if she could handle one of the boys being hurt.
As Destirel taunted him Back Elias gazed at him growing angry. " Do it I dare you." Narrowly avoiding hot lava he placed a wall of water around it watching as it turned to steam. Now he was angry as could be. Deciding to work with his water whip he flicked his wrist. " I will drown you."

"Go ahead and try." Destirel growled as he saw the boy getting angry. That was good, angry people never thought as well, Destirel knew that from experience, for instance, he wasn't thinking clearly now at all. Forming his fire into a sword in his hand as he saw Elias's whip, he was prepared for a full out battle between the two of them.
However, that didn't happen as all of a sudden, Ignis was back and pulling Alysia up against the wall. Two figured appeared in the hall as well, Destirel ignored them and started to charge towards Elias. However he was stopped short as all of his fire and lava alike, vanished. Immense pain followed as the branded mark on his arm began to burn, worse than fire. The sleeve covering it shriveled up and showed his mark burning white hot. A growling groan that was half in between a scream and a stifled whimper came from him as he fell to his knees. His father was there and so was Poseidon, both looking peeved. "Stop this right now!" His father barked, looking almost livid, but not quite to his usual anger yet. Disappointment was in his eyes as well.

It took Elias a moment before he registered his fathers prescence. Instantly he was on the ground his lungs feeling like they were being crushed. His father wasn't often an angry man but he did dislike catching his son acting in such a way. " You disapoint me Elias." He spoke gravely. Hauling Elias to his feet he grabbed his shoulders hard. " What was this about?" He demanded of his son. " Her." He was still determined to make a scene. " Go on ask Destirel who she really is?"
Alysia winced as Poseidon and Hades appeared. As Destirel's mark burned she decided to try her best to concetrate on his aura as painful of an experience that would be it beat having the empathy take over and literally feeling his pain. Brushing at her eyes she pushed the stray tears away about to rush over to him when Ignis pushed her against the wall.
Now she realised the situation wasn't so good thanks to Elias Poseidon was now looking at her. " Who are you dear?" He asked. Faltering she looked at Ignis before finding her tongue. " My name's Alysia." She said softly. " No." Elias pressed. " That's not telling you who she is. What about her father.." Smirking he looked at Destirel.

Destirel could hear what was going on but still couldn't move, his father hadn't yet released the magic that was bound into his brand. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his father finally let it go. Taking deep gulping breaths, he was picked up by the nape of his neck. Groaning his eyes were dull as his father's angry eyes bore into him. "Leave he alone." He panted, glaring at Elias.
"Hush, boy." His father demanded, not even needing to say how disappointed he was as his behavior and eyes did it. That crushed what little Destirel had gained after being awoken from his anger. Being a appointment was a huge fear of his and he hated it, oh how Hades son hated it.
Hades turned towards Poseidon and threw his son away from him, Destirel landing on the floor in a slump, not even looking at Alysia anymore. Ignis seemed worried but she had done what she needed to. "Yes, I am intrigued as to why to boys would be fighting about this girl? Or maybe it was over her?" His eyebrow raised as he glanced at his brother.

Pushing Ignis away as gently as she could manage in her rush she moved over to Destirel. Although intimidated by the two gods in the room she decided she didn't care as she knelt down. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do what she was about to do but she she could worry about that after. Placing a hand on Destirel's forehead she tried to ignore the others in the room her hands brushed through Destirels hair. " I can heal that, I can give you back your energy." Okay this probably wasn't the smartest thing to do at all as her eyes glowed she kept her hand on Destirel watching as her palm glowed brightly as she healed him.
Pushing his own smug son away Poseidon gazed down at Elias. " Well what is it Elias. Were you stirring trouble again fighting over a girl?" He asked not ready to give his son the benefit of the doubt. " Look." Elias said loudly then pointed to Alysia. " Don't you see who's daughter she is." He interrupted again. Stopping Poseidon looked at Hades then to Alysia. " An illegitimate daughter of Apollo." He spoke stiffly. " Yes. That's what I've been trying to tell you." Elias added. As his father grabbed him by the back of his shirt he glared at Poseidon.

Destirel moved to try and make Alysia stop, but his father had pretty well sucked everything out of him. The brand on his arm wasn't just a sign of who he was, but a connection to his father. A tool that he had to keep his son in line and to make sure he behaved. It seemed rather harsh and cruel but after what Hades and his siblings had done to their parents...he wasn't going to take many risks.
At Poseidon's mention of who the girl was, Destirel sighed, his father tisking. "The question is, what should we do about her?" Looking towards Poseidon that ruler of the underworld had a thoughtful look on his face. It was obvious that Destirel liked the girl and she had some sort of connection to him as well. He knew what Hera would like to do to the poor girl and he was willing to stand in the way of it, given how much he detested the jealous goddess. "You have always been a reasonable and wise man, Poseidon. What do you think we should do with this illegitimit daughter. We could bring her to her father and see what judgment he has passed or send her back to the mortal realm and forget that this happened." He questioned and suggested and he watched his son stand, glaring at the brat of a boy that was Poseidon's, not fault of his own.
With Alysia's magic, he felt better almost instantly, but he was no where near peak capacity. He glared at Elias still, the boy earning his hatred. Whether or not Alysia was to save him or not, he would not like the boy unless he changed how he behaved. "Why did you do that?" He questioned Alysia in a whisper, not well enough to put any anger in it.

They were talking about her but she didn't care as she continued to make sure Destirel was alright. Ducking her head she stared at the floor. " I wanted to help you." She said softly. Knowing full well of the consequences using her powers had brought she looked at the two gods uncertiantly. " Please don't be angry at me, I knew what I was risking but I decided I wanted to help you more." She explained.
" I daresay Hera would kill her if she knew she was here right this very moment under her nose. " Poseidon pointed out now this caught Elias attention and he looked unsure now. " Oh, you didn't think about that did you boy. So keen to share who she was." Releasing his hold on Elias he shook his head." We should forget this happened. She is just a child." With a kind smile at Alysia he kept his son at his side. " What Apollo's children do are not something I wish to concern myself with."
Breathing a sigh of relief she looked at Destirel before sneaking a look at Elias. She still had to save him...that wasn't something she looked forward to but for now she was safe but..what did the two gods know about her? They knew something and it made her ill at ease. Did all the gods know she existed? " Can I have my amulet back Destirel?" She whispered to him just as her mind became clouded.
" We are leaving now Elias." Grabbing his son firmly by the arm he then left. Her visions couldn't of picked a worse time to appear. Head hurting she realised by now it was best if she didn't fight it as her body became limp and her mind was drawn elsewhere.

"I am not angry, just worried." Destirel explained, though he was a little bit upset that she would reveal herself to two of Zeus's brothers and one of their sons. He wouldn't push her away for showing him affection though, even if there was really no meaning behind it other than she could feel his suffering through empathy. Still weak kneed, Destirel stood and walked to be next to his father as Poseidon spoke. He saw the look on Elias's face and couldn't help but give him a look that said 'duh, why else would I be fighting for her'. Though, he would have fought over her as well. He found her first, he felt attached. He had never met Elias before and if all the god children were like that, then Destirel now understood why his father didn't let him play with any of them. He would have instigated a fight every five seconds.
Breathing in relief as Poseidon decided to let it go, he was back at Alysia's side though when she seemed a little off. As she asked for her amulet, he reached into his pocket and gave it to her, though just as he slipped it over her neck, she was out. Perfect time to have a vision right?
"Did the child pass out?" His father questioned, a look of what might have been concern crossing on his face, though he really wasn't that worried over Apollo's daughter, he was more intrigued. "No, she has visions. I am assuming one is happening now." He replied, no hint of anger at his father for how he had treated his son. That was how it always had been, do as your told and what was expected of you and you were fine. Destirel was fine with that, in fact he accepted the punishment readily. He should have thought more about his actions.
Picking up Alysia bridal style, his body still wasn't fully recovered as his limbs felt weak. His father stopped him from taking her to his room, a look of humor on his face. "Follow me." He told the boy simply and he did.
Making their way down a hall that Destirel hadn't been down in years, he stopped in front of his fathers bed room. A look of annoyance crossed Destirel's face till his father chuckled. "This room is safe from Zeus himself. No one can enter unless I give them permission." He spoke softly, Destirel nodded as he realized that his father didn't want any controversy to happen down in his realm, knowing that if even a slip of Alysia's being here was to get out, Hera would be searching the entire place without heed to anyone's word. Placing Alysia into his fathers arms, the god took her and laid her on a plush pile of pillows in the corner of the room. Destirel was not allowed to enter but Ignis appeared at the snap of Hades fingers. "Watch her, I must return to the party." He instructed and then took Destirel back with him, not wanting the boy to intrude where he should not be.

Alysia looked up at Destirel with a guilty expression. She understood her reveiling herself to the gods wasn't the smartest decision but Destirel was okay that's all that mattered in her opinion.
Powerful visions such as this always left her with a splitting headache and weak limbed. She could see Elias in what she could only assume was Poseidons home under the sea. What a scolding he was getting his father was ever so angry. As even that grew unbareable to watch her empathy powers stuck with remorse for the boy Artemis's face came into view.
Her aunt how fearsome she looked when she was angry. All most instantly she realised what it was about, Artemis must have been keeping tabs on her neice while she was at the party. Some how Artemis knew that she'd reveiled herself to Hades, Poseidon and Elias.
" Will you come to regret your choice later Alysia?" The woman asked her. Unable to respond she watched the scene of destruction evolve before her eyes whilst she was seemingly unable to help.
With a loud audible gasp she sat up her skin crawling and her face pale from what she'd seen. Before she could control herself a sob escaped her lips. She hated seeing Elias die, no matter how rude he'd been to her she still had to save him. Brushing at her eyes she looked up in confusion unsure as to where she was. " Ignis.." She said saddly to the nymph. " Zeus is going to kill Elias tonight."
Now she had the motive though surely she'd be able to stop it. Standing up her legs gave way and she collapsed back onto the pillows. " Hades...." Trembling she hugged herself. " Zeus wants Poseidon and Hades to either fight with him or...." Shuddering she closed her mouth she didn't want to recall the vision she had of Destirel either.

Ignis jolted as Alysia awoke, sadness cloaking her words and worry forming in the fire nymph's mind. Things did not sound good coming from the girl. She would sound mad, if not for the fact that Ignis knew the girl had visions. Usually one of her level would always have true ones, it was only the humans with the faint blood of a god in their veins that got false images of what might be.
Watching as the girl fell when she tried to stand, Ignis hushed her and knelt down next to her, petting her hair. "Do you wish me to bring Hades here? To warn him or to tell Destirel of you visions?" She questioned, unsure what the girl wanted her to do. She disliked that son of Poseidon's but she was sure Alysia wouldn't bring him up for no reason. Something was going down tonight and time was of the essence now, it seemed.
At the party, the food had been finished and dancing had commenced once more. Desserts were passed out on trays, to any who may want some. Destirel grabbed a plate of cake and scarfed it down, his stomach grumbling due to his energy loss. His father was actually talking with Zeus, though Destirel had been shooed away as soon as he had gone over to see what it was about. It seemed, he was still just a small child in their eyes.

Alysia closed her eyes still unerved by her vision. So many outcomes could come of her failing to save Elias. As Ignis spoke of bringing Hades or Destirel she tensed unsure. If she told Hades of what she saw then it could also play out so many different ways. She was not to keen on some of the consequneces. " I don't know." She whispered.
She'd seen the choice Hades recieved from Zeus, if he accepted the gods offer and took to Zeus's side then that made Hades her enemy. Frowning she looked at Ignis." Zeus is going to ask poseidon to rule with him, if he refuses he'll kill Elias." She said softly. " But Zeus will still kill Elias to test Poseidons loyalty." Paling she looked away." He's going to do the same to Destirel."

Ignis's heart dropped upon hearing the words that Alysia spoke. That was not good, the whole plot made her angry and fearful. "Was this Zeus who came up with it? He is always worried about being overthrown by his children." She grumbled and got up, pacing around the room. This was all very unfortunate. The whole thing seemed as though it would be impossible to fix, though nothing was impossible when it came to the gods....well maybe a bit of being civil was a bit too hard.
"I can bring Hecate to see you! Well, if you want. She is very knowledgeable." Ignis suggested, eyes fiery as she remembered Hecate. How could have she forgotten the powerful sorceress and, she was sometimes referred to as the Goddess of the Crossroads. It seemed, to Ignis, as though Alysia could use some help with choosing which road to take in and of itself.

Alysia was unsure who had come up with the plan it wasn't something she had been shown. " I don't know." She admitted. " Does it matter who came up with it though..he wants Elias dead."
When Ignis mentioned the goddess she looked at her uncertiantly for a moment before nodding her head. Hectae already knew who she was it wouldn't hurt to talk tothe godde would it. " Okay." She said softly. " I'll talk to Hectae."
