"One pack of Pepsi, Half a pack cookies, seven miles from the Roman camp, and I'm wearing sunglasses... at night... while shadow traveling," I said to myself.
I watch WAY too much Blues Brothers. Finally I'm here. Marble columns and fresh spring characterized the amazing sight, it would have been without an Imperial Legion, but I can't complain - "Hey, Ladies how's it going"
The Roman campers obviously became aware of soon-to-be-over existence, all unsheathing their weapons. "HA! Really guys?" I asked in way too confident voice. I had been trained in the art of diplomacy for thirty minutes before I got here. "What's your business here," an officer sneered. He was built although he was shorter than me, which in my book is an accomplishment.
"Diplomacy," I replied "On behalf of the Greek gods and Juno."
"You mean Roman gods don't you?," asked a confused female legionnaire.
"No, the only Roman is Juno, she has claimed her family has been divided too long," I announced, all them weary eyed,
"The Greek and Roman gods are one in the same, just different names and personalities,"
They're still jerks, but hey it's family.
"How dare you try to say such blasphemy against the gods of Rome!" a rather large camper roared. He looked like Hulk Hogan and Shaq had a love child, eww, gross. He readied his spear and gladius. "Okay, if you don't believe me, try explaining the new camper, Perseus, son of Neptune; he came out of nowhere," I shouted, "We have Jason, Son of Jupiter, Juno switch our camps best leaders!"
Hulk-Shaq was turning blood red, veins popping. It looked like he was about to explode.
"You lying sack of-"
I cut Hulk-Shaq off with a good uppercut to the jaw, landing him straight on the ground. The female legionnaire laughed, maybe I could entertain her later because right now the whole legion started to advance on me. An officer went help Hulk-Shaq, "Theo are you alright?"
"Of course I am" he muttered. Then he turned with fury towards me.
I'm definitely gonna die today. Then they did the unexpected, they lowered their weapons as a familiar face walk forward towards me. Same sea green eyes, ruff blacked hair with a fading white streak.
"Hello, Nico," He smiled. "Hello Dolt how's it going here?" I asked jokingly. "I demand he get respect and not foolish blithering!" Theo shouted.
"You respect me, I am a son of Hades, ruler of the Underworld!," I shouted.
They all backed away expect him, He eyed me furiously with the intensity of a thousand lightning bolts. "It's okay, Nico has never the social type," Percy said. "We need three of your campers the best, we have Jason all we need is three and you," I said.
"Why?" Percy asked.
"The Argo II, We have to stop the giants from destroying the gods at their source, Greece" I said.
"Come we need to talk..." Percy asked worried. We walk off together not know the outcome I had just caused.
