Session 14

Charlie wakes up and as they were getting ready, they were stopped by Bianca in the kitchen. Once there Bianca inform them of the days schedule. After a brief conversation, Bianca handed Charlie an small metal sigil of Athenys. She explained that Athenys takes care of family no matter what and even with Charlie's current situation Athenys will look out of them. After Bianca leaves the kitchen, Charlie has a conversation with Alaris, in which Alaris still refuses to tell them what they need to know about the ceremony of Amantis.

Charlie gets ready and meets up with Ardalla and region commander Tatius. After explaining the situation and seeing the hilarity of Region commander Tatius seeing Carmen and Natalie run to make it on time. After a quick talk with Seraphina the receptionist, Ardalla Squad is introduced to Horatio Tatius. Horatio is the new section commander for W8 and Dominic's cousin . After giving them there task for the day, helping out for security at the temple for their seer day, the group heads off. Whilst on the journey the group splits a bit with Carmen and Bianca arguing about something, Natalie hanging back whilst texting and Ardalla and Charlie having a much needed catch up.

The group shifts as Natalie and Carmen try to talk about who Natalie was texting as the others hang together. Ardalla and Bianca try to convince Charlie to see a seer and whilst they try to persuade them Carmen and Natalie run off and tackle each other to the ground over a phone and Ardalla runs up to stop them. This leaves Bianca and Charlie together. Bianca asks if they know what a Ciscera is and tell them a common phrase.

'They say every time a Ciscera is created, the Gods toss a coin and the world holds their breath.' to which Alaris responds. 'I wonder who tossed your coin Charlie.'

Once at the temple the group is separated and Charlie is asked to check in the rooms. The room checks are going well until they get to room for and see the seer from their first ever seer visit. After an intimidating speech about Charlie's desires and helping them get what they truly want Charlie goes to leave the room. As they leave they feel a press on their back as they panic into thinking was that a blessing or curse. They hear the same voice in their head again who tries to intimidate them even more before Alaris stops them.

The rest of the work day goes well and it is revealed that when the rest of the squad arrive that they will all go into a room individually and see if they have any blessings or curses. As Charlie enters the room they begin to ask and learn that some markings can just appear and disappear at their own speed. Then Alaris and Athos see their opportunity as try to make a bargain with Charlie. Tn rgoup goes back and fourth and Charlie makes a deal with eacho of the gods, resulting in a mark being made on their wrist.

With Alaris it is that they will do something for them, but it cannot cause physical harm for their family or squad mates.

With Athos it is that they will break a promise when he says and for whatever reason he says, as long as it does not physically harm anyone

After the reveal the squad reunites and they all claim to not have any blessings but a burn in Charlie's back lets them know that someone is lying.

The group sets off to go home and Charlie join Carmen and Natalie for dinner and chats at home. When Natalie went to pick up the food the group, Carmen and Charlie spoke about Vincent and as Carmen received a call. Its then that Charlie realised Roxanna's request for Amulius' name. When Natalie returned the group spoke about love life and Carmen tried to set Charlie up with George.
