In the distance, Ivy spotted the airstrip. She had made it. She hurried towards it, slightly worn out from the long walk. It had taken some searching, but she had finally arrived. Was everyone still here though? She could only hope. She could see a log cabin, and headed towards it.
"Hello? Rachel? Jacob? Terry? Anyone here?" She called, her hand resting lightly on her sword as she looked around.

Terry was on guard duty, sitting under a tree with his staff. He had to admit he was utterly exhausted. Almost everyone was injured, and the one's available for guard were few. He was one of them, and he wasn't going to complain.
When Ivy appeared, he was positive he was hallucinating. He blink a few times, wondering how fogged up his glasses were before standing, slowly, cautiously. "Ivy?" His voice was full of disbelief.

When she had returned the first time, Ivy had only had time to see Rachel before she had to leave again, realizing the job wasn't quite done. And the battle had happened right after that, so Rachel probably hadn't had time to tell everyone. She spotted Terry, and he looked exhausted. Everyone was most likely still trying to recover from the battle. Well, she was in great condition, so she knew she'd be of some use.
He looked shocked, and she smiled faintly. "Yeah, it's me. I'm not dead. Never was."

Terry leaned back against the tree for support, feeling woozy. He obviously needed to pick it up. He was hallucinating, hallucinating, hallucinating... But he wasn't. Ivy spoke again, and his senses were jerked sharply for a moment. "It's really you...You're not...How?" His words were ramble and unorginized, which was so not like him. He usually spoke sharply with a straightforward confidence, but that had been lost to his exhaustion and in the last battle.

She knew he would be stunned, and he was. He usually spoke with confidence, but he could barely get a sentence out. Not that she could blame him. First he had fought a battle, and now this. "Long story. Basically, this certain group of monsters was following me. Threatened to kill everyone I cared about if I didn't leave camp. So I did. I faked my death, and left camp, thinking I would never return. But after I managed to kill all of them, I realized I could come back, and here I am. Still trying to figure out why they were after me though." She replied, pausing to let it all sink in.

Terry was supposed to be happy, but the news kind of sobered the mood instead. He walked up to his half sister, raining a hand to touch her shoulder. She was solid, and very much real. Slowly, the son of Minerva brome into a small smile. "But you're alive now. You're okay. Thank the gods...Rachel was so heartbroken."
There was still one last disturbing fact, though, "Thise monsters will eventually regenerate. Please don't run off again. You have us. We can help you."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Maybe it wasn't the best decision, but with the threat of Gaea, I didn't want to take more people away from camp to deal with it. " Ivy gave a small smile as he walked up to her, then sighed.
"Yeah, that's crossed my mind. I think I still have a few months before I have to worry about it, and when that happens, I'll be taking a few of you guys to track them down, and figure out why the heck they were following me. I can't keeping killing them for my entire life. That would get tedious."

Terry smiled, shrugging, "We will help you, of course. Since Gaea pretty much doesn't know we even exist, it'll be fine. She hasn't noticed that we aren't all dead. She thinks she wiped us out." He let out a small sigh. So many had died, after all. "How about I show you around the airstrip? We're going to have a friendly competition soon. Romans vs Greeks. It's just for fun. So, how about returning where you belong?"

"That's good, considering nobody is up for another battle." She smiled. "Sounds good. I've got a lot of catching up to do. And I can help out with guard duty, or pretty much anything afterwards. You look exhausted, and I doubt everyone else is in much better condition. I, on the other had, feel like I could run a marathon. And a competetion, eh? Sounds like fun." She replied.

Terry nodded blearily, rubbing a gray eye under his glasses. "Yeah, you definately have a lot of explaining and catching up to do. Everyone will want to know. I'm sure just bringing you would throw everyone in chaos. Oh, and I'll have to traduce you to Greyson. He owns the place and is a friend of mine. He's housing us all."
Terry couldn't be more grateful to anyone. The man had saved all of them. He looked at Ivy gratefully. Her joining the guard was a little change, but it was desperately needed.

"Yeah, they'll all be shocked. And okay. Good thing he had this place. I have no idea where else you would go. Everyone doing okay from the battle? At least, as well as can be expected."

"Well..." Terry didn't want to brief her on everyone's injuries, but it had to be done sooner or later. He wasn't going to let Greyson do it, especially with his photographic memory. He would completely swamp Caly. He decided to start with the more serious injuries. "Jacob lost an arm and a leg..."

Ivy's eyes widened. "He lost an arm and leg? Sounds like the battle was worse than I thought. He doing okay?" Jacob had been a good friend, being her half-brother. She had been excited to see him, but now was worried about him.

"One of the Hesphaestus kids made replacements. Prosthetic limbs. He's trying to get a grip on walking and using his new arm properly as well." Terry informed her, understanding Ivy's clear worry in her gray eyes.

"Well, I'll make sure to see him. Besides, he doesn't know I'm alive anyway." She said, brushing a strand of her blond hair back.

"No one does. You pulled off your death pretty well." Terry grinned at her, deciding that her skills had been greatly underestimated beforehand.

She gave a half smile. "Yeah, and I guess that can be seen as a good and a bad thing."
