I Don't Own Percy Jackson Unfortunately

Chapter 1: REUNION Percy

The great Greek warship landed with a huge, enormous, ear splitting thud but I was not even distracted the slightest. I was focused on finding Annabeth but with no luck in all the sand blowing on our faces. This bothered the sentries even more. They already seemed agitated seeing the artillery the ship had but they kept their word, not even shooting an arrow towards it. Besides, if they wanted any harm, the conditions were perfect for an ambush. The smoke would mask campers and they could effortlessly overwhelm Camp Jupiter's defences with the arsenal of weapons they had loaded into the ship. Despite the likelihood that I would be executed today if anything went wrong even by mistake, I was eager to get it over and done with.

At a snail's pace the winding of the ship opened to reveal a demigod, probably Jason Grace I guessed because the second he stepped out, the astonished campers showered him with a huge round of applause. There was a great deal of cheering and lots of campers swarming around him shook hands with him, patted him on the back and congratulated him. Still trying to find Annabeth, I scanned the crowd for when I caught a glimpse of Reyna. Her eyes were twinkling filled with pleasure and delight. Still she didn't make her way towards Jason; instead she stood fixated where she was, waiting patiently. I marvelled at her composure, how she never portrayed any feelings so she could set an example as praetor.

Then without warning, the campers fell quiet as Jason raised his arms to silence them. Only then did it strike me how much power and control Jason had over Camp Jupiter and then it dread crept through me as I realized that he would want to retain his position as the praetor. Frankly, I didn't care but I was aware of the consequences it would lead to. If I backed down from the position without a fight, it would make me look like a coward and therefore the Greeks as cowards. I quickly dismissed the thought and reoccupied myself in finding Annabeth.

But my spirits lightened up a little as Annabeth made her way out of the ship. She represented herself as the leader of Camp Half-Blood. I couldn't contain myself anymore so I dashed after her and hugged her fiercely and everyone cheered. Behind Annabeth stood the boy Leo who called himself the supreme commander of the Argo 2. Well it was hard to imagine he was a son of Hephaestus because all the sons' of Hephaestus I have seen were huge with ripped muscles but if this guy was the total contradictory. Beside Leo stood a girl who I didn't recognise and I was utterly clueless us who her godly parent would be. Annabeth introduced her as Piper and explained she was a daughter of Aphrodite. I was so engrossed in talking to Annabeth that I didn't realise that everyone was getting restless. I motioned Jason to continue his speech.

Jason was a very persuasive person and could make anyone believe just about anything. He spoke in a confident voice and about how friendly and welcoming the Greeks were. He told that even when the Greeks discovered that he was roman they did not change their attitude towards him. He told them of Hera's plan to unite both camps against the giants and how it was the only hope if the gods were to prevail. Octavian who was thoroughly unconvinced tried to find every possible flaw in Jason's speech. He countered ferociously to anything that Jason claimed but at last, even he had to admit defeat. I was impressed with the skills Jason had as a speaker.

After Jason's speech, Reyna requested that Annabeth, Jason and I to meet her in her quarters as the Romans returned to their respective posts. After a 10 minute walk, we reached Reyna's quarters. Reyna was already sitting in a sofa next to Aurum and Argentum. When she saw us approaching, she quickly chained Aurum and Argentum.

"Take a seat please" said Reyna.

Annabeth positioned herself opposite to Reyna so she could listen easily to Reyna. Jason sat uncomfortably close to Reyna without any other place to sit in.

So I said "What are we going to do with Octavian?"

"It's possible he's a spy for Gaea" Jason pointed out.

"But if we take action without evidence, it could lead to a civil war" countered Reyna.

"Who is this Octa...head? Is he the skinny guy who kept arguing with Jason? " enquired Annabeth.

"Octavian. Yeah, he's the one but believe me when I say he's more trouble than he looks" I warned.

"For now, I think it is best we stay put but still keep an eye on him. If he does anything suspicious, then we can execute him" said Reyna.

Nobody objected so the decision was made. The silence clearly indicated that the audience with Reyna was over so I decide to give Annabeth a tour of the city. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she sets her eyes on the city. So I swiftly found a suitable pair of jeans and a purple camp Jupiter shirt and offered her a tour.

"That's really sweet of you but Seeweed Brain but I'm feeling really sleepy after all that time on the ship" she said.

She must have noticed me disappointed because she kissed me. On the cheek. I know, but I was satisfied.

"Ok. But come to me first thing when you wake up" I told her.

She agreed and silently made her way to the room she was assigned to by Reyna.
