Lex (Child of Eris, Domain of Chaos)
Location: Ship > Port Town
Lex gazed excitedly over the sparkling water. He could see the island now. He always missed home while he was here, but this place was wondrous and magical. He still might not be sure what it meant to be a hero, but the Isle of Atlas would always be the most amazing place he'd ever been.
The ship made dock and passengers started to queue as the workers secured it. Sighing, Lex slipped on his backpack and grabbed the handle of his rolling suitcase. It was time for the most tedious and annoying part of a trip to the Isle of Atlas; customs. Cameras, cellphones, and other recording and communication devices were not allowed on the island, and security was strict. Lex could easily bypass that rule with his transfiguration powers, which meant he was basically on the honor system, but it didn't spare him waiting in line while everyone and their bags were inspected. Not to mention the annoying questionnaire.
Forty five minutes later Lex walked out of the white dockside building into a paved courtyard sporting kiosks, exotic plants, and welcome signs. Across the courtyard, immediately in front of the building were a couple teachers with signs calling out, “First years! Freshmen! Over here!”
Lex nodded at them as he walked past, exiting the courtyard and truly entering the small port town. He knew once they’d collected all the first years, they'd be leading them to the capital city (which would really be considered a small town elsewhere), and then up the easiest mountain path. It was the path he planned on taking, so best get ahead of this inexperienced crowd, especially if he wanted to make it in time to have dinner and unpack before tomorrow's classes.
He could see the mountains already, but it would be at least a couple hours before he reached the base. He walked on, surrounded by make-shift fusions of old and new architecture, that gave the island a sensation of timelessness. He knew the island had once been ravaged by a tsunami, and since then everything had been built at will, first in a similar style, and later in more modern styles. Arrays of solar power collecting crystals were also scattered about the buildings. Other things were like that too, a lot of people wore chitons and togas, but there were also people in jeans or business suits.
“Do do doo do, do do do,” sung Lex softly as she walked, not really concerned with if the other students going this way were irritated or not. It was a long walk, and they weren't supposed to have recording devices which basically meant no recorded music, unless they got a hold of an almost antique portable CD player, so she had to entertain herself somehow. Sometimes she missed her phone so bad it almost hurt.
She kept an eye out as she walked too, figuring she'd find some nice little cafe or Pita Bell to stop at for lunch. Maybe she could even find some friends to eat with, or more realistically, some acquaintances that at least weren't completely off-put by her. Making friends wasn't exactly Lex's strong suit, but she managed.
Apollodoros (Champion of Artemis)
Location: Outer Island > Ferry > Countryside of Inner Island
Apollodoros trudged along the path that followed the inner coast of the outer island. He'd gotten up early, packed his few meager belongings into a rough rucksack, kissed his mom goodbye, and started out towards the next village. Normally, left to his own devices, he'd just swim across the cove, but the books and clothes in his rucksack unfortunately required him to take the long way.
As he approached the next village, he could see his goal, the ferry landing. The ferry master waved at him as he stepped away from the people and animals who were boarding, “Apollo!”
“Euippus,” he called back. He was familiar with the man from from previous trips to and from the school, where they had talked at length during the crossing. It was not really a long trip, but Apollodoros was not good at standing or sitting around for very long, so it helped the that the ferry master had taken an interest in his goal of becoming a hero.
After a few more passengers boarded, ferry master started up the old solar powered motor and the little barge started puttering across the cove. The calves a farmer was taking to market brayed behind him. He turned to Apollodoros, “Now then, new school year. This'll be your last year won't it? Have you thought anymore about if you're staying on the island or going back out into the big world again?”
Apollodoros sighed, looking back at the outer island, “It's a hard choice to be sure. This is my home, it always will be. But the world out there is fascinating, though I find parts of it difficult. Here being a hero means fighting monsters and natural disasters, but out there it's much more complex.”
“So it's a matter of an familiar path verses an unknown one?” asked the ferryman as he moved to adjust the rudder. Apollodoros nodded softly, “Ah, I suppose you're right. I guess I already do know what to do.”
Being at the back of the ferry sucked when they made land (half a mile outside of town), even if he still had the ferry master to chat with. All Apollo really wanted was to get off and be on his way, but there was a crowd of people and calves in the way. Come on, he had plans! He was going to climb the east face of the mountain today, which was supposed to be inhabited by grotesque troll-like giants. It was going to be a grand adventure.
He could see the large ships docking in the distance, knowing their passengers from all over the world, mostly his fellow students, were being funneled through the island's strict customs routine. Not that there wasn't a lot of hoops to jump through to get on one of the ships to start with. The Isle of Atlas wasn't somewhere any old person could visit, otherwise they’d never be able to keep the magical creatures and relics here safe. Still, it made him glad to be on a ferry barge, where when enough of the others had disembarked, he was able to leap off, the contents of his rucksack clattering. He immediately started running, but quickly stopped, hearing a fellow student he'd not realized was on the ferry call after him, “Apollo, why are you going that way?”
“I'm going up the east face!” announced Apollodoros excitedly, while pointing his hand axe directly at the mountain. His fellow hero raised an eyebrow, “Isn't that the most dangerous and reckless way to go?”
“Ye-eah-haha,” cackled Apollodoros, “But it's my fourth year, so if I'm going to do it, now is the time to do it.”
“Okay,” accepted the other student, “see you at school if you survive.”
Apollodoros nodded and turned back around, starting to run again. Due to Artemis' blessing he wasn't worried about wearing himself out before he got to the mountain. The only thing he needed to worry about was biting off more then he could chew if he ran into giants. He glanced down at his left hand, he never wanted to let Artemis down again, nor did he want to loose any more fingers.
Turning his attention forward again, he swung his axe into a sapling, clearing the path ahead of him. His confidence returned. He was brave and he was strong. He had this.
