The morning light bounced off of the snow. It made the trees shine and sparkle. It covered the grass with a chilled blanket. Everything was covered with white. All was quiet.
Hazel sat on the freezing ground in deep thought. She barely noticed the snow melting around her or the grasses growing back under her feet. She was focused on her thoughts while staring up at the sun. When she looked down, that's when she noticed the rich green continuing its growth. It seemed to be trying to hug her the taller and taller the blades grew.
She reached down with her index finger. She wanted to feel the grass. With Skadi's storm around, it was hard to find a beautiful patch of grass that was not at the snow's mercy. Most of the plants were forced to hibernate early and the ones who didn't...well…
She touched a small blade of grass with her index finger and watched the power of her touch make the plant sprout. It crawled and wrapped itself around the girl's hand. It seemed like it didn't want to let Hazel go either.
Hazel lightly chuckled at this and swept her hand through the snow. The snow instantly melted and was replaced by blooming flowers. This alone caused the girl to have some type of relief. "Now I feel just like uncle Kristoff. Reindeer, plants...anything in general are way better than people…" She said, as she allowed her radiant aura to fill the park.
She shone like a star while she concentrated on her magic, melting away all of the ice in the process. She took a deep breath when the flowers reappeared. She felt the trees reawaken and some of them stretched as if they had been roused from a nap. "There. That has to be better." She said to (pretty much) all of the wildlife in the park.
Squirrels ran up to her with thanks and ran around her in circles. They tugged on her sparkling cape playfully causing Hazel to laugh. She used her magic to conjure almonds for them and threw them out for them to retrieve. They ran around happily, causing Hazel to lean back and sigh. "Yep. Way better than people."
"Hmm, good thing I'm not a person." A voice called out to her from behind.
Hazel turned with a smile. "Better than gods too." She thought as she looked at Jupiter. "Actually, I prefer people over gods." She said, throwing pistachios.
Jupiter chuckled and sat next to her on the moist ground. "Actually, I do too."
Hazel smiled at him when he said that. She turned back to the ground to look and see what else she could do to keep herself busy. When she did this, she saw an ant trying to pick himself up and find his ant hill. She used her pinky to help it up and conjured a small cube of sugar for it to carry back home. The ant greatly accepted before heading off.
Jupiter smiled. "The cold weather's not cutting it, huh?" He looked around at all of the thawed trees blooming and the plants recuperating.
Hazel's glow died down a bit. She still glowed, but not as much. She stretched then looked to him. "Not really. I can deal with the cold, but I grow tired of it quickly."
He nodded and turned his attention to another insect she was assisting. "So...how have you been, kid?"
Hazel shrugged, leaning down to get a better angle on the insect. "I'm good." Picking the big up, she looked at him. Now you could tell it was a grasshopper. "I've been better, I mean…" She shook her head unwilling to continue.
Jupiter nodded in understanding. "Have you decided when to talk to her yet?"
Hazel sighed sadly before shaking her head at him. "No. I am so scared. I fear-I fear that it's too late." She held the grasshopper close to her. The insect leaned on her, attempting to comfort the girl.
Jupiter blinked at that before continuing. "It's never too late." He shook his head, looking at the girl as she looked downward. "Huh, you are a special girl, you know that?"
Hazel looked up at him in confusion, so he resumed. "You are nothing like I have ever seen. True, you made some bad calls, but everyone does that and you meant well. You Are very fragile and have been through a lot, but you're still standing. You are shy, then you're brave. You are docile, then fiery. You are as stubborn as a mountain, but as peaceable as a meadow." He thought as he looked up at the sky.
Hazel looked up at him in interest. "You really think that?" She said, putting the grasshopper down.
Jupiter nodded and smiled at her. "What I am trying to say is, you don't find people like that everyday. You have many beautiful qualities that make you who you are." He gestured to the warm park. "Your magic makes you who you are. You may feel like you don't belong or always screw things up, but believe me. That just comes with being a unique snowflake." He looked back at her with a warm smile. "Not to mention, you have a big heart and you are always there for the ones you love. Especially when they make you want to RIP your hair out, you're always there."
Hazel blinked before brightly smiling at him. Her smile was so big that it nearly reached her eyes. "Thank you, Jupiter." She laced her fingers together.
He chuckled before turning to her fully. "Call me dad." He looked at her with a smile afterward.
Hazel looked at him with much confusion. "Dad?" She tilted her head.
Jupiter rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on!" He threw his hands up in the air. "Your twin sister looks like she could be my twin sister!" He exclaimed with humor.
When he said that, Hazel's eyes widened. She saw exactly what he was talking about. It was surprising that she hadn't seen it sooner. "Dad...I have a dad…" She repeated as her eyes watered.
Jupiter opened his arms wide and his smile widened. "Come on. I know you wanna." He chuckled while signaling her over.
She practically jumped in his arms and gave him the tightest hug she could give. Her smile widened. She finally felt the last piece of her puzzle fill. She was content with hugging him so much that she didn't even want to speak in fear that it would ruin the moment.
After a while, Jupiter looked at her with an endearing manner and said, "I should be going now...to check on how the other one is doing." He said, pausing when she wrapped her arms around him tighter. "Princess?"
Hazel smiled even larger at the nickname and hurried her head into his cloak. "Just five more minutes." She said in a pleading way.
Jupiter paused for a minute before resting his chin on her head. He patted her ruby tresses. "Okay. Five more minutes." He agreed. After that, they sat there in the sunny park enjoying the silence and each other's embrace.
…..
Terra could feel herself tremble as she teleported outside of the house. Her sisters remarked that she had gone pale and asked if she had seen a ghost. The goddess, however, knew exactly what had caused her to go pale and instilled fear within her. Zeus...Kill...Us...Hades...Protect...Us… Her thoughts were slow and drawn out as her heart pounded as fast as a star shooting across the night sky.
The bluenette looked down at her shaky hands and let out a low breath as she leaned on the house for support. W-What is wrong with me? She thought to herself, trying to regain control while her breathing sped up.
Never before had she been gripped with such terror, such fear, that took over her body and sent her mind into complete chaos. She had always been the one to have peace...but now...she had no control over this.
Terra gripped her head and slammed her eyes shut as she slid down to the ground. She couldn't hear the sounds of the forest anymore, she only heard the pounding of her heart as her thoughts sped up and crashed. Kill...Protect...Kill...Protect! The woman grimaced and covered her ears. Shut up! She mentally screamed, feeling her body only shake more in response.
The goddess, in pure desperation, began to summon her magic in a heartbeat-like pulse in an attempt to reach someone. She could feel her sisters pulse back and she knew what they were wondering even without hearing them. What's wrong? That's what they wanted to know. I can't tell them...He'll find them. He'll kill them.
Oh how she wanted to scream, to wail for someone to come for her...but she couldn't, not without also alerting Zeus to her position and her sisters'. It's too dangerous. What if he finds us? What if Hades fails? What if I fail? What if he kills them? What if I am all alone in the end? What if he goes for Heidi? I can't...I can't. There's too many what ifs! She could sense her magic pulse begin to speed up. What if he goes after everyone connected to me? What if...he goes after...Hazel?
At this very last thought, her magic pulse exploded in a wave that was so massive that it rocketed out of the forest and headed towards the rest of Auradon. Terra gasped at the sudden wave that she had caused and opened her eyes to see it heading for the city. She blinked a few times as tiny black dots began to cloud her vision. "No...No...I need to...stop...it." She barely murmured out the last words before the darkness overtook her and she fell unconscious.

After the extra five minutes of attention, Hazel asked Jupiter if she could hitch a ride with him. Jupiter honestly didn't mind. He was actually happy and proud that she was no longer hiding away. He was twice as happy that his words made an impact on her.
When they had found their unusual group of friends and family, they rushed over and greeted them like they always did before talking. As for Jupiter, he made sure to stay out of Skadi's line of sight while talking to Elsa.
Jupiter whispered. "I am really racking up the dad points! Hazel and I just had a talk and it went great!" He grinned at her brightly.
Elsa leaned closer with curiosity. "Really!? I can never talk to her without...arguing." She looked down at the city concrete before looking back up at him with a smile.
He shrugged. "Maybe, I could give you some tips." He looked to Hazel and Ara with a loving smile. "She is very layered, so there is a way you have to do things. You have to do it very gently too."
Elsa shook her head at him in disbelief and from being impressed. "Wow. Dad power." She stated, still shaking her head.
Jupiter chuckled leaning in even closer as he whispered. "Even the mother recognizes my powers!? That has to be bonus points!" He said and they both chuckled to himself.
Skadi was off to the side, her eyes narrowed while her arms were folded. "What is he doing?" She hissed out, frowning at the sight of the Roman god.
Njord looked at them and smirked before looking at her. "It looks like they are talking." He said, chuckling quietly.
She regarded him with a deeper frown. "They are very close for it to be a simple talk."
Njord shrugged, looking easygoing about the sight. "...Maybe they are closer than you think?"
Her head whipped in his direction. "What?" She asked, her tone turning a bit dangerous before it cleared. "She shouldn't be anywhere near him."
Njord blinked. "Why? Jupiter is one of the friendliest gods on this side of Auradon at the moment." The god tilted his head and smiled. "Would you much rather have one of the Greeks near her?"
"Don't even speak of them." Skadi replied instantly, returning her icy gaze to the two.
Njord chuckled. "I will take that as a no." He said to himself, folding his arms and relaxing.
Ara looked up and tried her best to see what Hazel was talking about. "No. I don't see it. That cloud looks more like a gorilla to me." She shook her head, still looking for the cloud.
Hazel frowned then pointed elsewhere. "No. That one. Right there. It's a dragonfly on a sunflower!" She said, while regaining her smile.
Ara raised an eyebrow while chuckling. "To me, it looks more like a badly drawn lion playing an oboe." She said, prompting Hazel to look at her again with a full expression.
All of a sudden there was a rumble followed by a high shriek and a massive blue wave of dense magic. The wave hit at an incredible speed, causing everything in its path to begin floating, even the people. The wave left as soon as it came and continued onto the rest of the city and Auradon in general.
A very dizzy Ara stood and shook her head. "What...on earth...was that?" She looked to her grandparents. "Was that magic?"
Skadi quickly regained her composure and nodded. "It was. A heavily dense form sent out in a wave. I haven't felt any magic that dense in a long time, and that time it came from a goddess of magic."
Ara looked even more confused as Hazel's eyes widened. "That felt...familiar. Where have I felt that before? Goddess of magic? Wait...oh no…" Hazel let out a sharp gasp and her head whipped in the direction of the wave. "I will be back. I've got to go." She said, preparing to teleport.
Elsa looked to her in pure concern. "Where are you going?" Then she looked in the direction Hazel was looking at. "Don't tell me you're going towards that!"
Hazel, not focused on her mother for once, nodded vigorously. "It's a friend of mine and she might be in trouble. I will explain once I return." With that, she teleported away leaving Elsa confused and a bit frustrated.
Jupiter walked up to Elsa with a smile. "Don't worry about it. She'll be fine. She's stronger than she looks." Elsa smiled at him in thanks, then went back to looking in the distance. He was about to lay a hand on Elsa's shoulder, but caught the icy glare that Skadi was giving him in the distance. He stepped back and nervously smiled as he got chills. "How does she do that!? Even her stare is frozen!"
888888888
Hazel inhaled as she reached her destination. At first look, it was a thick wooded area. It was a forest, but it was a forest that she was very familiar with. She looked around the area and began to have anxiety at all of the memories coming back to her. All of the things she'd done and the pain she'd felt.
She didn't know that she would be back. She didn't know that she would be wandering around the same forest, looking for the same house. In the back of her mind, she is actually glad because now she fluently knows her way around. It wasn't her home, but she pretended like it was. Only for a little while.
She searched around the outer parts of the forest first before moving closer inward. On the bright side, there were no longer any signs of magic. There was also no noises that she heard besides her boots crunching the snow beneath her. As she had gotten closer, the house came to view. It was a bit far away, but now she really knew where she was.
She glanced at the house for a whole minute and shook her head. She had a whole other part of the forest to search before she searched the home. That and she really didn't want to be anywhere near that house! All of those thoughts ran into each other Once she heard a dry meow ring through the silent forest.
"Vetiver..?" She called out the name of her old companion with a smile.
A familiar ball of green ran to her, contrasting with the snow. "Vetiver!" She called as she ran to the magical feline. It started to purr once her hand made contact with its rocky body. "What are you doing out here? It's freezing!"
Vetiver leaned on closer to Hazel for warmth. "I know, but I felt you nearby. I also found something else that was weird. Come on!" With that, Vetiver took off in the direction of the home.
Hazel nodded and followed her feline. She slipped and slid every now and then before lining her diamond boots with limestone to keep from slipping. Satisfied with her work, she continued after the feline until they reached the side of the house and a passed out young woman came into view.
Vetiver meowed dryly, pawing the woman. Hazel looked at the woman with confusion. It took her a few seconds to realize who she was before gasping and rushing over. "Vetiver! Go find me a blanket from somewhere...anywhere!" She said, bending down on her hands and knees, checking her over.
Vetiver nodded, before running off into the interior of the house. Meanwhile, Hazel scooped the woman up with her arms and sat her in her lap like a young child. She looked at her with worry due to how pale she was. "Hey, Terra? Terra are you okay?" She tapped her shoulder, trying to rouse the woman awake.
The only response she received from the unconscious bluenette was a soft mumble before Terra's face morphed into one of, what appeared to be, pain.
Hazel frowned at this and began to rock her as if Terra was her child. "What happened?" She asked no one in particular. She looked down at the woman in her lap rubbing her fingers through her hair in a comforting manner. "I've got you. I'm here now. It's okay."
Vetiver finally returned, struggling with the large blanket. Hazel gratefully nodded before taking it and wrapping the woman up in it to the best of her ability. "I've got you." She said one last time before going into thought.
"Lets see… Where could I smuggle a knocked out Heidi lookalike?" She looked around for other people. When she saw no one around she continued to think. "Ok. Not the school. She looks like Heidi. Definitely not the house. Her sisters are pretty...crazy, so not the workshop. There's only one option left and my family is out enjoying the day sooo…" She nodded to herself. "Come here, Vetiver."
The cat blinked before smiling and placing a paw on Hazel's back. With that, Hazel smiled and teleported back to her resort room. The first thing she did was lay Terra down on her bed and adjust her blanket. After that, she checked her head to make sure she wasn't too warm. Satisfied with the temperature, she sighed and sat down on the bed near her.
She looked to Vetiver and said, "You can go get comfortable and look around. I'm going to be here for awhile." She twiddled her fingers, glancing from them to Terra.
Vetiver nodded and walked out of the room to explore. She also went to find a comfortable spot to lay down. As for Hazel, she kept her eyes on Terra for a while longer before pulling out her phone to entertain herself. "I'm not leaving your side." She glanced at the sleeping woman before going back to her device.
After about twenty minutes of laying on the bed and watching videos, a knock sounded at her door. Hazel looked up in shock while a bit of fear rose up in her. She took a deep breath before saying, "Who is it?"
"It's mom. Can I come in?" Elsa called from behind the door.
"It's me too!" Her twin said. "I got you a box of those chocolates you like! I didn't eat them all this time!"
Hazel shook her head in amusement at her sister trying to bribe her to open the door. She walked over and opened it before saying, "No need to bribe me, Ara." She looked at the box. "But I will be taking these." She took the box from Ara with a smile.
Ara smiled back before asking, "So...what's up?" She asked referring to her sudden disappearance. Apparently her mother wanted an answer too. So, she stepped aside and gestured to the occupied bed.
Ara looked to the bed and grimaced. She walked over while Elsa came into the room with confusion and concern. "What's Terra doing here?" Ara asked in a concerned manner.
Elsa blinked. "Terra?"
Not minding her mother, Hazel replied. "I believe that wave came from her. When I got there, I didn't see any trouble. She also wasn't conscious." Hazel moved one of Terra's hair strands behind her ear. "She seemed very troubled."
"Can someone explain-" Elsa tried again, but was ignored a second time.
Ara shook her head. "That's not a good sign. Maybe she will tell us when she wakes up?"
Hazel nodded. "That's what I'm hoping. I will ask her then I will tell you if she says anything." She said, looking back to the sleeping woman.
Elsa groaned, catching their attention. "Can someone please explain to me what's going on here?" She put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at her two daughters.
Hazel remained silent in shock while Ara took a deep breath. "This is not Heidi. This is one out of three of Heidi's clones." She pointed to Terra and said, "This is Terra. When she is awake, you will be able to tell them apart better, but for now just take our word for it." She turned back to her mother and sighed, "Now, Hazel found her passed out in the snow, we don't know why, and we're waiting for her to wake up."
Elsa blinked before raising an eyebrow. "I assume this is the big secret you were keeping from me?" She looked to Hazel.
Hazel looked down to the ground before saying, "Yes. Please don't be mad. I made a promise…" She said in a pleading manner.
Elsa smiled and shook her head. "No. I'm not mad. In a way, I am pretty proud of the faithful young woman you have become." She glanced at Terra and said, "Besides, she looks like a keeper." She smirked at her daughter.
Ara laughed while Hazel, caught off guard, blushed terribly. "Motheeer!"
Elsa shrugged as her daughter's blush died down. "What? I'm just showing you my approval." She still wore her smirk.
Hazel shook her head. "Thank you, mother." Her and her mother smiled at each other. That caused Ara to smile because for once their talk didn't end up as a disaster.
There was a soft groan from the person on the bed as she shook her head a few times. "No...Not them." She murmured, still quite asleep despite her almost frantic movements.
Ara and Hazel rushed to her aid immediately. Ara signaled Hazel and said, "That looks like a nightmare and a pretty bad one too!"
Hazel nodded while a serious look entered her eyes. "Yeah, it is. We need to wake her up." She said as she began to shake Terra in an attempt to wake her.
Ara repeatedly called her name while ducking from the occasional flailing. "Terra! Terra! ...Terra! Terra, wake up!" She repeated relentlessly.
Terra let out another groan and frowned mid sleep. "No...I'm not letting you kill them." She whispered, groaning as soon as she got the words out.
Ara shook her head. "Geez, she deep in there isn't she?" She let out her own groan. "How are we going to get her up?"
Elsa shrugged and said, "I could always do what I do to wake you up." She folded her arms.
Ara blinked before her eyes widened. "You mean splash ice water on her!? Isn't she suffering enough?" She glanced at the flailing girl.
"Do you want her to keep suffering?" Elsa said forming a glass out of ice that was filled to the brim with cold water.
Hazel backed up a bit. "If this won't wake her up, I don't know what will."
Ara crept over to her sister and chuckled. "A true love's kiss."
Hazel's eyes immediately halved. She pushed her sister away with mild annoyance. However, when Ara tripped on something in the process and fell. Hazel smirked in victory.
While they were doing that, Elsa shook her head at her children before taking a deep breath. She walked up to the panicked girl and angled the water right over her head. Without A second thought, she tilted the ice glass over and spilled all of its contents into the young goddess' face.
The effect was immediate, Terra's eyes flew open as she sat up so fast she quickly let out a soft gasp and held her head. "...W-What?" She breathed out, completely confused as to why she was awoken in such a manner.
Ara waved her hand, removing all of the water from Terra's hair, face, and the bed pillows. Then dispelled it using her magic. "You had a really bad dream, buddy. You alright?"
Terra looked at her hands, eyes blinking a few times as they began to shake. "...That was a dream?" She asked in a small voice, not entirely believing them.
Hazel sat beside her and gave her a warm smile. "Yes. It was just a dream. I found you outside passed out and you've been sleeping for a while now." She said, adjusting the blanket on the goddess.
Terra didn't appear to hear her as she began to tremble again. "It's still going to happen, he's coming. They said so." She said in a hushed voice, eyes locking onto the blanket.
Hazel frowned when she saw this. She turned to her mother and sister and said, "Do you guys mind giving us a minute?"
Ara smiled and nodded while Elsa smirked and walked out of the room. Ara followed shortly after and Hazel sighed. She brought her attention back to the woman. "Terra. What's going on?" She kept the question simple.
Terra looked up, the golden flecks blinking rapidly as she shook her head. "I can't...If I say it he'll find us. He'll find us and all will be over."
Hazel looked at her pleadingly. "Please, Terra. I want to help you. Who is he?" She reached out and grabbed her hands. "Please, what's going on?"
Terra looked at her for a few more seconds before closing her eyes. "I-I was down in Hades' Cave...Heidi ran away and I went after her because she wasn't well. So...I healed her. When I was leaving...Hades and another goddess began talking. The king of the greek pantheon...He's coming. Hecate, the other goddess, she was telling Hades how the king was going after the three...my sisters and I...Hades said the king would have to go through him. T-The goddess said that the other gods are stuck in Olympus and that nothing can stop the king. H-He is serious a-and he is coming…" Terra explained in her shaky voice, stuttering on almost every word she was saying.
Hazel's eyes squinted and obsidian began to replace the royal blue color of her eyes. "Zeus." She spat, half aloud and half to herself. She looked to Terra. "Hades will handle him. I am sure of it."
Terra shook her head. "W-What if he doesn't? What if he manages to get my sisters? What if I am left all alone because he has destroyed everything?" She closed her eyes, beginning to hyperventilate as her body shook even more.
Hazel pulled her into her embrace once more. She held her just like before when she found her in the forest. She began to slowly rock her like a child also. "Calm down, calm down." She moved the stray hairs from her face. "Hades will handle it. I have full faith in him. Even if things fall through, you will never be alone because I am not leaving your side." She said softly, then placed a small kiss on Terra's head.
Terra's breathing began to calm a bit as she sighed. "Hades...He thinks of us as his own. He said that he'll protect us, because of Heidi." She murmured, her eyes still shut.
Hazel blinked before nodding. "That's good. That's really good!" She chuckled a bit. "Now I know he won't let anything happen to you. He loves Heidi to death and if he thinks of you as his own...yeah. That's even better!" She smiled at the news.
Terra nodded. "He said he claimed us and that gives him the right to defend us against the king's wrath." She added on, taking a deep breath.
Hazel smiled. "See? You are going to be fine." She looked up at the ceiling in thought. "You just have to lay low until this blows over." She said, holding her tighter.
"My sisters...Heidi...they're all alone." Terra mumbled, looking away for a moment.
Hazel blinked actually forgetting they existed for a moment. "Hmm…" She thought. "I don't know if being together is wise…"
"What do you mean by that?" Terra asked, looking at her questioningly as one of her eyebrows raised.
Hazel glanced at her before looking at a wall. "Zeus is an incredibly pissed off god with incredibly thin patience." She looked down at Terra with concern. "He is looking for you guys to be together. If you are, he will find you all and take you guys out in one go."
"Oh." Terra said simply looking down in thought. "I placed a magical lock on the workshop...If Heidi was right when she turned off almost all of the entrances, the king shouldn't be able to sense them. Not when they are in her home."
Hazel nodded in relief. "Okay, they are safe for now." She bit her lip as she kept thinking over the information.
"Heidi is asleep in her father's cave, if the king wanted to he could take her out. I have a feeling that barrier means nothing to him." Terra said with a soft sigh.
Hazel closed her eyes and inhaled for a long time before releasing her breath. "Didn't you say Hecate was there?" She asked her.
Terra nodded. "I think she was relaying the information from another goddess named...Hestia. She didn't seem to be doing much when I was down there, but I know she left to get some sort of helmet for Hades." She informed her, looking slightly puzzled by the information.
Hazel blinked in surprise. "Hecate's going to the Underworld to get Hades's Helmet? The Helmet?" She looked to the ground. "He means business. About Heidi, what do you suggest?"
"I don't know...I just don't feel right leaving her there on her own when the king is also looking for her." Terra said, a frown appearing on her face. "The king...was bringing the Master Bolt since he thinks he will have to deal with her."
Hazel sighed as she winced. "And she is in no condition to fight…" She said, looking down in thought.
"She is very weak. I think that is another reason why Hades is coming out to face his brother. He has a motive, her time in the Underworld...He said that the king is abusing his power and needs to be taught a lesson once and for all." Terra's eyes narrowed as she remembered the words.
Hazel nodded, looking up with multicolored eyes. "I will take you to her." She stated plainly.
Terra looked at her in surprise. "You will?"
Hazel nodded simply. "Yes, I am and I'm still not leaving you either." She said with determination.
Terra let out a sigh of relief and tilted her head up. "Thank you…" She breathed, taking a calming breath as she closed her eyes.
Hazel looked down at her with golden eyes. "Your welcome. For you, it's nothing." She said, looking down at her fondly.
The goddess smiled softly in return before a thoughtful look crossed her face. "We need something to disrupt our signals, our "soul signals", the king has probably noticed us since you uttered his name. I doubt he is paying me any notice for the most part as I don't feel that different from Heidi." She explained, looking at her hands for a moment.
Hazel blinked before shrugging. "Okay. Do you have any ideas?" She said, making mental preparations to leave.
Terra nodded. "I've done it for my sisters before when they've gotten too close to greek territory. It's just a simple cloak you wear and none of the gods can find you...It's like you disappear off the face of the earth." She said, closing her eyes in thought.
Hazel smiled. "Okay. Yeah...I can work with that. We need to hurry, though. Something tells me we don't have that much time." She said, determination entering her eyes again.
Terra smiled at her before pushing the blankets off her and stretching a bit before standing up. She summoned her magic to her hands before quickly creating two long black cloaks out of thin air. She easily magiced hers on and handed the other one to Hazel. "Here."
Not familiar with cloaks, Hazel blinked before putting it on. She nearly drowned in it before she finally put it on right. She nervously chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm good."
Terra chuckled as she tucked the hood over her head. "Sorry, I forgot how big they are. If I made them any smaller they'd let a little "soul signal" leak out. My sisters whined more, kept mentioning how ugly they were, so you are doing much better." She said in a joking manner before reaching into her dress pocket and pulling out the remote.
Hazel raised up her good so she could see Terra. That revealed Hazel's smile. "When it comes to staying alive, beggars can't be choosers." She glanced around her room and said, "I will send my sister a telepathic message to tell her everything. For now, we have to go." She walked over to grab the chocolates that Ara gave her. "Don't judge…"
Terra shrugged at the sight before pausing, an odd look appearing on her face. "Huh...I could have sworn I felt something. Something...big."
Hazel blinked. "You felt something? What could that have been?" She tilted her head.
Terra shook her head. "It felt like...like a "boom!" just an explosion of magic and power. It kind of reminded me how I sensed Hades earlier." She said in clear confusion.
Hazel's eyes squinted in confusion. "Really? Hm." She looked around rapidly. "Another reason we should get moving, I guess." She said with worry.
Terra nodded. "If that was the king...then Hades will also be out and then we'll have two feuding brothers arguing over our heads." She said, beginning towards the doorway.
Hazel nodded, heading to the doorway and focusing on the fastest way to get to the isle. "Let's hurry so we won't be seen, hm?" She offered her a confident smile.
Terra smiled back. "Right. We need to get moving, especially with those two in mind." She said, referring to the two gods.
Hazel's smile fell for a moment before looking up at Terra. After that, she shook it off and kept moving, "I'll make sure she's okay even if I have to protect her myself." She smiled to her and said, "After you." As she held open the room door for her.
"Thank you." Terra said with a wide smile, exiting the room before taking a deep breath.
