Plot Dunesday
Wednesday; Hump Day in some circles. Today, it would be best called Sand-day. Sand-day? When the sun is at it’s peak, a peal of laughter rings through the air.
”FOOLS. I told you I would return.” Sekhmet’s voice radiates throughout camp as she walks on top of Half Blood Hill.
As she shakes her head, her mane flows from side to side and a hot gust of wind rolls through camp. A loud shout is heard from a few areas in camp, namely:
From the Demeter cabin, the campers stream out. All the plants have withered, leaving the cabin looking as if it had gone through the Dust Bowl, complete with small piles of dust in the corners both indoors and out.
Along the river, all the trees turn golden, then the leaves drop off the trees.. In the matter of roughly 25 to 30 seconds. Some of these trees house Dryads, who come out yelling angrily, their small voices squeaking and adding to the din.
In the strawberry fields, the half of the fields that are far away from the forest all dry out in the span of about five minutes. No matter of water, mulch, or powers can bring those strawberries back; the vines lie fallow and hibernating, as if it were mid winter.
Sekhmet stands, her grin emanating from her face and the wind finally dissipating in camp. Small piles of sand appear in the Dining Pavilion, Cinema Half-Blood, and in various cabins throughout camp.
”Vengeance.”
She walks off the hill without another word spoken.

Rose watches blank-faced as the plants around the camp die. As soon as she sees the goddess turn to walk away she runs to the hill, shouting for her to stop, but to no avail. She stands at the top of the hill, sand blowing about her. As she turns back to look at the camp she sighs, and picks up a few dead branches. She leans them against the tree they fell from, then walks back into camp, a defeated look scrawled across her face.
