Thread: Reborn (Lady and Blair)

It always seemed cold at the manor house, not exactly beause of the snow on the ground, but that bone chilling cold that would steal your breath with each moment spent outside. Walking through the field at the upper reaches of the estate grounds, the man they called the reborn hades glanced towards the mansion that he'd been calling home. Even if they called him hades, he preferred the name his mother had given him at birth, Alcide. It wasn't as weird as the greek god's name, though Alcide wasn't exactly normal either. Pulling the shirt he was wearing over his shoulders a little tighter he sighed, smiling at the sight of the small dog bounding towards his feet. While the pup was going to be fierce looking as a adult, right now the small bundle of fur was nothing more thn a hairball that followed him around. Of course, considering how easily he lost his temper and his usual brooding nature, his family kept telling him it was a good thing he had Styx, otherwise he probably would never smile at all. Bending down he scooped up the small pup, tucking him under his arm as he surveyed the home below him. Standing on the trail overlooking the home below him, Alcide watched the smallish figures walking into the home, high enough they looked tiny. Sighing softly he tucked Styx under his jacket to keep the puppy warm.Well.Time to go back in.He said sounding depressed at the idea. Time inside meant meeting with the new person they were bringing in, not to mention the other gods and goddesses they'd already found. Heading down the mountain until he reached the backdoor he paused as he slipped inside, looking for his mother, wanting to make sure the woman wouldn't catch him dripping snow onto her tile floors. While the woman wasn't one of the goddesses currently living in her home, his mother was perfectly capable of scaring the bejesus out of the older teenagersearly 20s group of kids living in her home. Toeing off his shoes he set styx on the ground, smiling slightly as the pup took off towards the family room he paused outside the doorway, tilting his head listening. Alcide smiled slightly, listening long enough to learn that there was something... odd about this retrieval. They had gone after the girl just the girl, and yet as he stole a glance into the room he saw not one, but two younger people waiting for the dr. almasy, the researcher that had found and brought them all to this home to gather the gods and goddesses together. while Dr. Jake Almasy was none of their father, and had only allowed Alcide's mother to remain with him because she offered the family's manor house as a home base, they all called him father. Starting as a hand landed on his shoulder, he glanced at his best friend-even if she annoyed him most of the time- Katra. Hovering, cide?How very unbecoming.Katra scolded him a imtimation of his mother's voice, the woman was a skitler for manners, and demanded all of them behave. The reborn artemis smirked at alcide as he glared at her, amused that he seemed so annoyed that she'd ruined his eavesdropping. Seeing as they know we're out here, we might as well go in.And styx's already making friends.Katra snickered a little as she stepped into the family room, amused at the sight of the small wrinkly puppy sitting at the girl's feet, a paw resting on her foot as he tried to get her attention.
