AN: while writing the rewrite of children of fate that I figured I will add some things that happen between when Emily is adopted by Hades to when Arabella comes to the underworld to Daughters of Hades. However because of this that Phill will have a bigger part than he did since he will be coming into the story much sooner, so it would be more focus on one relationship between Emily and Phil as well as Emily and Arabella. There of the other relationship that Emily forms in seventy years and give some foundation to them. This story will start two weeks after Emily's fake death.

Despite how good the bed was as well as how big the room was, among many other things that Emily was having a hard time sleeping. For she kept having nightmares, not the demigod dreams like she was use to getting from time to time or just normal dreams but nightmares. Nightmares of the war, the things she had to do to protect freedom and to protect the ones she cared so much nightmares of Bucky falling off the train, nightmares of seeing Steve crashed or hearing his last words over the radio. As well as other nightmares, nightmare that were made up of what could happen to other people she knows and care about. Of where the howling commandos were ripped to shreds by wolves or Lauren being hung or the soil trap Lauren and buried Lauren. In those nightmares, Emily was there but she was helpless to stop those things from happening, she kept hearing a cold laugh telling her that this was suppose to happen. Every single night for the last two weeks, Emily woke up screaming and Hades did come in and tried to calm her down.

Hades, unlike her birth father hadn't raised a child, Hades can understand war and what it was like to live forever. But he was unable to fully understand the kind of war Emily went though of which was different from any godly war or even a demigod war. There was no big surprise that Hades couldn't even understand what it was like to have the nightmares that she has been having. Despite not fully understanding of what Emily went through and was going through that Emily knows that Hades cares for her and was worried about her, he tried his best to make her feel at home. He did tell Persephone about Emily and she had come down to the underworld a couple of times of which helped somewhat. Even though Persephone was her half sister, that they didn't have that bond that Emily and Steve shared or even the bond that she shares with Lauren.

One afternoon, Emily was sitting on a stone bench in Persephone's garden, Persephone gave Emily permission to work in the garden when Persephone was not around to work in it. Her back was against the wall of the palace and her feet were up on the bench while Emily hugged her legs. Her face was against her knees, Emily wasn't sure of how long she had been like that but one thing for sure was that she felt out of place here in the underworld. She could see why Persephone didn't like the underworld when she first came down here, but Emily was unsure of how Persephone got use to seeing no sun day in and day out till spring. Besides the reminder of the fact that Bucky and Steve were not died that was her other problem that there was no sun down here or any plants expect for some plants in her room as well as here in the garden. Due to her position that Emily hadn't noticed when Hades walked over to her till he spoke to her.

"Emily." Emily looked up at Hades.

"Hi."

"How are you doing?" Emily shrugged.

"Don't know, I am still not use to being underground."

"It took a while for Persephone to get use to it as well." There was a few moments of pause before Hades spoke once more. "Look, I was originally planning on you doing this a couple of weeks ago. But with how you were, I decided not yet and waited for a few more days. Honestly, this should be done soon." Emily looked at Hades, wondering what he was talking about.

"What are you talking about?"

"Considering that you have been here and that if you were to take my place as queen that you would need to know about this. Before I tell you of this that I need to take you somewhere, before I do, I need you to promise to use yours and swords but not to kill." Emily was confused.

"What?"

"I will explain but only after you leave the place I am taking you." Hades held his hand out to her, Emily shrugged and stood up before she took his hand. Emily was still work ion shadow travel and she needed to know where she was going so for the most part Hades took her places through shadow travel as well as teaching her of how to do that. When she took his hand that shadows engulf them, when the shadows fell away that they were standing in at the edge of a forest clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a mansion or a former one that looks like of what a lumberjack would build, but it was a massive ruin of red and grey stones with rough hewn timber beams. Emily looked over at Hades.

"Why are here? What is this place?"

"This is called the wolf house."

"The wolf house?" Emily looked at the house. "What kind of name is that?"

"What kind of name is Zeus's fist?"

"Good point."

"But there is a reason of why this place is called that, you see Jack London built this place about thirty years ago or so. You know who he is."

"Yeah, I heard he might have been a demigod but it was never confirmed and he has this thing for wolves. But why are we here?"

"It is more like you, you are here for a test. When you come back out that I will explain more to you." Emily looked at Hades before looking back at the house and took a step forward, the moment that she touched the ground in the clearing that she stopped. She felt power coming from the ground below her, there was no words to describe the power that she felt coming from the ground. Emily back at Hades and he spoke. "This place is a powerful place, of which is why the home was destroyed just before Jack London moved into this house so many years ago." Emily looked away and walked towards the house or that is where she assumed she was suppose to go for the test.

When she went through the door that she realized of how much of this place was ruined, not only that but she felt the power become even greater inside the house. Emily has that feeling that she should be on guard, she grasp her poppy before walking a little further ahead and that was when the test started. Coming from a wolf was two wolves growling, she heard more growling from behind her and she turned just enough to see tow more wolves. The four wolves were rather big, she wondered if this wolves were the werewolves of Ancient Greece. The first wolf pounced and she hit the wolf with the flat of her blade so that it caused the wolf some pain but not kill it or even have a scar. One of the wolves behind her went to attack but she jumped back quickly without much of a thought before pushing the other two wolves with shadows just far enough for Emily to go to the one door and enter another room. There was more wolves in this room, thus quickly pounced and Emily rolled to one side and used the shadows or grew the stem of her poppy to help fight off the wolves. It seems the wolves were making it harder for Emily to defend and attack when she had to, it didn't help that she wasn't allowed to kill the wolves. After about ten minutes that a voice rang out in her head.

'Stop.' Thewolves back from Emily, Emily remained where she was standing with her sword held out in front of her. The wolves made a path and from one of the doors at the other end of the room came a wolf, the biggest wolf that Emily ever seen. Since entering this house that she felt a bit of fear and was slightly panicking, with everything she has been through that she couldn't deny that there was still things out there that could defeat her and somehow she knows that this wolf could do that. The wolf stopped a few feet from where Emily was standing and looked at her carefully as Emily looked at the wolf. Her fur was a beautiful chocolate red fur with eyes silver as mist, and the wolf was tall, taller than any human even Steve. The wolf was a good seven or maybe even eight feet tall, Emily wasn't sure of which height was correct but he didn't really care. Suddenly the voice spoke again and this time Emily realized it was coming from the wolf and that the voice was female.

'Impressive, I must say for one that was tainted as a Greek as well as born as one. If it wasn't for the fact that you and your brother were claimed by Ceres' Greek personality that I would say that you two were children of Ceres.' Emily lowered her sword, stunned, did this wolf refer to her mother by the roman name. Emily read the roman myths before, she knows that the Romans were the second power force after the Greeks fell to them. The wolf tilted her head, as she did that, that something click in Emily's mind.

"You are Lupa, the wolf goddess."

'I am indeed.' Emily let go of her sword out of shock, unlike most of other swords that would have fell that her sword become the poppy again.

"But how?" Lupa chuckled.

'I see Pluto didn't tell you everything or anything. However the gods were in power in Rome just as long as they were in Greece and they gained a second personality as a result. So there are roman counterparts to the Greek counterparts. I am Chiron's counterpart.' Emily looked around the house before looking at Lupa.

"There is a Roman camp nearby?"

'Not within this area but it is a few days from here depending of how fast you are able to get there.'

"How come none of the Greek are aware of this?"

'You heard of the American civil war, yes?' Emily nodded. 'That war came from the demigod war between the Greeks and the Romans and since than that the two groups were kept apart. You are the first Greek demigod to learn about the Romans since than.'

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the Roman Camp?"

'Things are different for the Romans than Greeks, Emily. However you came here for the test and you passed. Please step forward and hold out your arm.' Emily step forward and held her arm that has the two bracelets on it, Emily pushed the bracelets as Lupa put her paw below her hand. If it wasn't for the fact that Lupa was a goddess that she would have wondered of how she would have done that. 'First off, you adopted father asked this to be done and I have to agree that this for the best to help you gain some trust among the Romans. I found Rachel Blackthrone to be worthy of joining the legion, do you again?' Emily was about ready to ask of what Lupa was talking about or who she was talking to, before she could say anything that there was an intense pain on her wrist. Emily's eyes widen as her skin started to burn in front of her, when the pain stopped that Lupa lowered her paw. On Emily's wrist was the letters SPQR with ten lines under it, above the letters were two symbols. One was a glyph with two lines that look like arms and a head and the other symbol was a flame. Emily looked up at Lupa.

"What is this?"

'It's a tattoo and there is no way to take it off. Every Roman soldier has that, it will tell the Romans that you have been to camp. I would suggest when enter the camp that you are immortal and that it has been a while since you been to camp and that recently you become the ambassador of Pluto.'

"Is that what my father wants me to do." Behind Emily that a male's voice spoke.

"It is more or less." Emily turned around to see Hades entering the room.

"Thanks for the warning about the test and your other personality."

"Sorry, I wanted but I needed you to somehow learn about the Romans and this was the only thing I could think of. Lupa wanted to test you and give you the tattoo." Emily looked between Hades and Lupa.

"Now what?"

'Now that you are here and passed the test that you must make the same journey as the Romans have done. Use your instincts and let them guide you to where the roman camp is." Lupa didn't say anything else but left the room and the pack of wolves followed her, Emily looked over at Hades.

"You will be able to find it, you already have a basic idea of where it is."

"What do you mean? I am pretty sure . . . . It's in the Bay Area isn't it?" One thing that Emily heard at camp was that San Francisco and the Bay Area was dangerous for demigods since there was a lot of monsters as well as what remains of the titan's base. It would make sense that they would put the Roman Camp by the titan's base, from what she heard was that the Romans were more warlike. So it would make sense if the warlike demigods were in that area. Hades merely nodded, Emily walked past him to find her way to the roman camp now knowing roughly where it was. She would need to use her instincts to find the exact location of the roman camp.

During her travels that she didn't bother to shadow travel, she thought of doing it but she still need practice and she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try to shadow travel to a place she never been. More so with the fact that she only recently got that power, however it took her four days before she managed to locate the roman camp. It took Emily a lot of time before the soldiers at the entrance allowed her to pass them, it wasn't till she made it plain that she was the ambassador of Pluto that they let her pass. As soon as she reached the end of the tunnel that Emily stopped in her tracks at what she was seeing. What lay before was a much smaller version of Rome including an area for the legion or that was what Emily was going to assume. After a couple of minutes, when the shock wore off, that Emily entered the area of the legion. As she cross the bridge that the roman demigods looked up at her, upon reaching one of the demigods walked over to her and bowed. Emily was surprised by this, before she could ask of why the demigod bowed that the demigod stood up properly and spoke.

"Greetings, Your highness. We have been expecting you." At those words that all the demigods present and went down on one knee. Emily looked around at the demigods, not once did anyone called her your highness and bowed or kneeled in front of her. Emily looked at the demigod that greeted her.

"Why did you call me, your highness?" The demigod tilted his head.

"You are Rachel Blackthrone, daughter of Pluto, the princess and heir of the underworld and the ambassador of Pluto, aren't you?"

"I am." Emily looked at around a the demigods before she spoke. "However the last three titles are rather recent. It was only recently that my father asked me to take this titles. Before that and after I become immortal that I was mainly the champion of Vesta and I was wandering the earth to help keep the demigods safe. When I accepted the titles from my father that he insist I come here, so I insist that none of you kneel or bow to me or call me your highness. You can call me Rachel or Ambassador, which ever one you feel more comfortable with." Emily felt odd of place, she wanted to turn and run, but she kept in mind of her time with project demigod and the howling commandos. The one thing that Emily kept thinking over again in her mind, stand your ground, do not let them see what you are feeling or thinking keep them guessing. From looking at the demigods as the demigods rose to their feet. As the demigods rose from their knees that the one demigod spoke.

"Are you sure on this, your highness?"

"I am, I wasn't raised in the underworld and it was only recent I moved down there for half of the year by request of my father. I only heard your highness from few people in the underworld and I am getting use to it. But what I do here has nothing to do with the underworld expect telling my father of what goes on here. Who are you by the way?"

"Jonathan Haminton, ambassador. I am the Augur." Emily looked at the demigod, he was a bit small for a roman next to the others. He seem more like the size of a Greek demigod.

"All right, I want to talk to the leaders of the camp." Jonathan nodded and lead her down the street while the other demigods made room for them.
