- What happened to your apprentices? - Aren't you here to kill me? - You sent them away then. You failed to show yourself despite being summoned again and again. The Grandmaster is displeased.

Saint Seiya Fun Fact:

Did you know Shun's only opponent to call him by his name is Ikki in the Galaxian Wars arc? Every other opponent Shun has fought exclusively calls him Andromeda.

there is a lot of misogyny being directed at this 13yo little boy

Is sonia on that island with the old Master Sword?

Probably not, she doesn't really have much of a connection to it. That and getting the master sword is usually a solitary affair, sometimes there's the great deku tree but most of the time it's in an empty grove so the only person to witness the pulling of it is some companion, in this case, dragon Link.

👀 For the wholesome oc ask meme: Ann (belladezia 💛) 4, 19, 25, 26 aaaaand 11 Bonus: 14 and 15 but it's for both her and Thane u-u

Holy shit woman. Ok, let's do it.

4 - What is the thing they like the most about their friends and what is the thing their friends like the most about them?

Ann has many people around that she respects and trusts but very few close friends. Liara is probably her best friend and what she likes about her is her caring nature, her calm and her loyalty. What her friends and squadmates would probably say they like about her is her tenacity and her innate ability to bring out the best in people.

19 - What is something they excel at?

Besides tirelessly charging enemies across the battlefield? She's a very good leader, even thought she doesn't always feel this way.

25 - If they had to prepare a conference, what would be the topic of discussion?

Why did her favourite restaurant suddenly close down and what can we do to open another one again ASAP. Jokes aside, I think she'd probably want to educate people about the reapers and the war, or motivate them during the reconstruction.

26 - What would be their ideal romance? Did they find a perfect match already, is it still a work in progress, or have they experienced something out of their expectations?

Well, she surely feels like she found a perfect match in Thane, but of course it's not her ideal romance. She knows it's a story doomed from the beginning but at the same time she can't help but cling to a tiny shred of hope that everything will be alright in the end. But he's all she needs for the time being and he was so unexpected that she's just thinking about how happy she is to have found him.

11 - What is an item of clothing/an accessory that completes them/makes them feel safe?

Her amp? LOL She's very attached to her dog tags, especially after she got them from Liara. On the battlefield she relies a lot on her helmet, it makes her feel safe and protected even though she's biotically charging a Krogan with a flamethrower directed at her.

14 - Quickly, let them give us some life advice!

This is hard. For both of them, because they certainly feel like they had done many things the wrong way. Ann would probably say something like "carpe diem" or YOLO and she'd believe it fully, expecting you to do the same. Thane would probably say something practical like "quality is not an act, it is a habit". He doesn't think he's qualified to give life advices.

15 - Now you give them some life advice.

Get a room! I mean, get a therapist. Or get a beautiful seaside villa and spend the rest of your money in food, booze and comforts. Y'all gonna die anyway, might as well enjoy the time you have left.

An Artful Sky over Lofoten Islands

Can the night sky be both art and science? If so, perhaps the featured image is an example. The digital panorama was composed of 10 landscape and 10 sky images all taken on the same night, from the same location, and with the same camera. Iconic features in the image have been artfully brightened, and the ground nearby was artfully illuminated. Visible in the foreground is the creative photographer anchoring an amazing view from the rugged Lofoten Islands of Norway, two months ago, by holding a lamp. Far in the distance are three prominent arches: our Milky Way Galaxy on the left, while a scientifically-unusual double-arced aurora is documented on the right. A meteor is highlighted between them. Other notable skylights include, left to right, the Andromeda Galaxy, the planet Jupiter, the star Vega, and the stars that compose the Big Dipper asterism.

Daughter of the Sea

A note about this chapter--- I have been writing this fic for a very long time. When I started writing it, the show had not come out yet. Because of that, you'll notice I use the book descriptions of all the characters. That being said, I want to make something very clear: Leah Sava Jeffries IS Annabeth Chase and she always will be. She is not only beautiful, but radiates the raw power, strength, intelligence, and cunning that we love about our Wise Girl. Rick chose her for a reason, and she is my Annabeth. My choice to write with book descriptions and not TV descriptions has nothing to do with her. Thank you for understanding <3

Chapter Six: My First Dream (Read on AO3 here)

Most days, my training went like this: Cadence training me with throwing knives, climbing the lava rock wall (I could usually make it to the top without being burned, and even if I was, apparently Poseidon kids are resistant to fire, which was a plus), taking monster-fighting and Greek history classes, and practicing sword drills with our strange sword instructor, Quintus. Every few days Chrion would take me down to the beach, or the lake, or the creek, and teach me how to use and control the abilities given to me by my father. Most of the time, he just ended up drenched, but he always told me I was “doing a good job” and that I had to “remain patient.” 

Whenever I asked if Percy had a hard time learning to control his powers, the centaur simply told me to not compare myself to my brother. That was a pretty hard thing to do, though, since he seemed to be the best Halfblood at camp, maybe even the best in the last few centuries, according to the way people spoke about him. It was clear that everyone was nervous for whatever battle might be coming, but at the same time, most people seemed to have unwavering faith that if Percy was involved, they had nothing to fear. And if it was Percy and Annabeth, whoever that was, everything would be okay. 

I was just coming back from one of those training sessions with Chiron when two girls came running up to him, their faces painted with worry. One I recognized as Clarisse, head counselor of the Ares Cabin, all decked out in battle gear and holding her electric spear. The other was a beautiful girl I knew as Silena, head of the Aphrodite Cabin. 

“Annabeth is back.” Clarisse said, although I could tell by the sound of her voice it wasn’t the good news it should be. 

“And the rest of her companions?” 

They both shook their heads, and the centaur took off without another word. 

By the time I had caught up to Chiron, he was standing at the bottom of the hill in front of the Big House, talking to a beautiful blonde girl with gray eyes. And from how red and puffy they were, I guessed she had been crying. I assumed she was Annabeth, and a pit formed in my stomach. 

“--so loud, and then everything started shaking and I ran for my life. I was back in the Labyrinth, and by the time I turned around to go back for him, the tunnel entrance had collapsed. I tried for hours to clear a path, but it was no use. I didn’t know what else to do so I…” she started to get choked up again, “I came back home.” 

“You did the right thing, my dear.” Chiron placed a supportive hand on her shoulder. “Percy is a capable hero, if he is able, he will find his way back.” 

“What do I do now?” A small crowd was beginning to form around the pair, and the centaur looked around nervously. 

“For now, we wait. Wait for his return, and whatever happens, we go from there.” 

Annabeth nodded, wiping tears from her eyes. 

“But for tonight, you need rest.” She nodded again, and I just then noticed how horrible she looked. I mean, she was obviously pretty, but she looked like she had spent the last week and a half sleeping on the ground. She had twigs and leaves stuck in her hair, her fingernails were short and caked with blood, and there was dirt smeared on every bit of exposed skin. Gently, another camper with gray eyes put their arm around her and guided her back towards the cabins. As soon as the confused crowd had dispersed, Chiron turned back to me. 

“I think it best we give Annabeth some time before introducing you two.” He spoke as if a million other things were running through his mind at that moment. 

“What happened to Percy?” 

The centaur sighed. “Annabeth and Percy were sent by Hephastus to fix a problem in one of his forges. When they got there, the trouble was bigger than they previously thought, so Percy sent Annabeth away to deal with something else. He chose to face the biggest threat alone, due to his abilities and skills. Next thing she knew, Mt. St. Helens had its biggest eruption in decades, and she couldn’t get back to Percy. For the moment, he is lost.” 

I stared at him in shock. 

“Are you saying he…my brother…caused a volcano to erupt?” 

Chiron nodded. 

“Is that something I can do, too?” 

The centaur shook his head, looking defeated. 

“It’s something you should never do, and something I’m sure Percy did by accident. I shudder to think of the consequences this will have.” I could see by the look on his face that this was not a time to joke. 

“He’ll be alright though, won’t he?” 

Chiron met my eyes, and his expression was sad. “We can only hope, my dear. We can only hope.” 

And with that, he climbed the hill to the Big House, leaving me on the lawn. 

The dreams started that night. 

I opened my eyes to a bright blue sky dappled with white clouds, birds flying over my head. I could feel tropical breezes blowing past and hear the crashing of waves, and sitting up, I saw a sight ten times more beautiful than I had imagined. Stretching out as far as I could see was a gorgeous lake with yellow sand. It looked like an ocean, it was so big, but something inside me told me that it was fresh water, not salt. A new party trick from my dad, I guessed. 

I looked behind me and saw tiered gardens going all the way up a hill, a grove of impressive cedar trees, a lush meadow, and at the top, a large cave. There were all manner of beautiful flowers and trees growing on the hill, and the scent drifting down was intoxicating. The whole thing looked like something you would see on a postcard with “wish you were here!” scribbled onto the back. 

I stood up and immediately could tell something was wrong. All of a sudden, the sun hitting my skin was too bright and every inch of me started to burn. It started as a tingling, then moved to a dull pain, and then a searing, as if white-hot flames were engulfing my body. I tried to scream, but no sound came out, and so I did the one thing I could think of—I ran into the water. I ran until I was up to my neck, and as soon as I did, the pain vanished. I stood there trembling, wondering where the pain had come from, when I saw movement on the beach. 

About a hundred yards away from me, a girl about my age was walking down the hill towards a shape on the sand. She was gorgeous, with a simple, greek-style white dress and her caramel-colored hair in braids laced with gold. Even from so far away, she radiated beauty and goodness. I strained my eyes and tried to see what she was walking towards, but it wasn't until she bent down over the figure that I realized what it was—

A body. 

I felt a jolt up my spine and a gasp escaped my lips. Don’t ask me how, but I knew immediately that it was Percy. Even from this far I could see a mop of dark-brown hair, the same shade as mine, and I could see how tattered his clothes were. He looked like someone who had just got blown out of a volcano, which, apparently he had. I had no idea how he could have survived, or made it here, or where here even was, but I was sure of one thing: my brother was alive, and he was safe. At least for now. 

The girl was just about to place her hand on his forehead when she stopped and slowly turned her head around. She seemed to be searching for something, and in a terrifying instant I realized she was searching for me, like somehow she knew I was there. 

Her eyes were just about to land on me when I woke up. 

I ran as fast as I could to the Big House. I had no idea what time it was, but it was light out and I saw a few of the Apollo kids already up and starting their day, but not many other people were milling about yet. I didn’t even know where to find Chiron, since it was so early, so I just went to the main room where most important meetings happened, the same place I popped out of the fireplace. 

I swung open the door and was surprised to find it already occupied. 

There, sitting in his wheelchair so that he looked like a mortal, was Chiron, with a very tired Annabeth sitting on the couch across from him. As soon as the door opened, they both looked at me. 

“Percy is alive.” There was probably a better way to say that, but it was too early to think. 

“Who are you?” The gray-eyed girl looked like she was about to slice me open with the knife strapped to her belt. 

“Annabeth, this is Angie. She is, umm, Percy’s sister.” Chiron’s voice was tired, as if he hadn’t slept well, either. 

Annabeth's mouth fell open in shock. 

“His what?” 

“She arrived at Camp a few weeks ago, two days after you went into the Labyrinth.” He told her about my arrival, and about what Hestia had revealed to us. He didn't once stop to ask if I wanted her to know my life story, but he must've thought she needed to know. 

“Percy is going to freak out.” Was all she said after a long silence. 

“What is it you need to say, Miss Jackson?” Annabeth flinched a bit at my last name. 

“Oh, right. I had a dream.” They both perked up. 

“Go on.” 

I told them what I had seen, about the island and the girl and Percy lying on the beach. I saw the briefest hint of recognition flash across Chiron’s face, but he kept his mouth shut. Annabeth looked very confused. 

“I don’t understand any of this.” 

“Neither do I.” I admitted to her. “But I just have this feeling…I know he’s alive.” 

Annabeth looked at me questioningly, as if she wasn’t sure what to think of me yet, but didn’t say anything else. I stood there awkwardly until Chiron cleared his throat. 

“Thank you for telling us this, Angie. If you get any more of these dreams, please let me know. But for now, Annabeth and I have more to discuss.” 

“Oh, yeah, right. Sorry about that. I’ll leave you to it.” 

The last thing I heard as I closed the door behind was Annbaeth’s voice, and it sounded like she was fighting back tears, 

“She looks just like him.”

An audience with queen Nubia (dp x dc)

Nubia sighed as she rose from her desk, massaging her nose bridge. Today was the day Themyscira would receive the dignitaries, exceptionally allowing men to step onto Paradise Island. Or rather, part of it. Nubia had done the diplomatic tour of the Patriarch’s World when she had first been made Queen, and it was now time to pay respects and meet with their older allies and compatriots.

“My Queen,” her newest attendant said. “They have arrived.”

“My thanks, Andromeda,” Nubia answered. “I will be out shortly.”

Andromeda nodded and stepped out, leaving Nubia to the privacy of her chambers. She quickly put on her ceremonial armor, well-used to the motions before she put on her laurel crown.

As she stepped outside, she was soon flanked by two of her warriors, also wearing their ceremonial armor. They arrived to the Agora shortly, and Nubia walked up towards the small group that had been lead there already.

The King was younger than Nubia had thought he would be, but then again, age was practically meaningless to those who hailed from the Realms.

“Queen Nubia,” he started with a deferential nod. “I and my friends thank you for your hospitality.”

Nubia bowed her head in return. “You do us a great honor in traveling away from your land, King Phantom.”

The child-king smiled, his canines peaking through, as he replied, “The honor is ours.”
