*5/5/12- PLEASE PLEASE read past these first few chapters. I know that they suck and are extremely short but I don't have time to redo them now. I am currently averaging at about 1,500 words per chap- sometimes more. I promise that it improves, just give it a chance...
Chapter 1: Percy
"It's going to be fine, I promise," I say as I walk with Reyna towards the place the ship was landing.
"I believe you that's why I stuck my neck out and backed you up."
"Thanks for that by the way, and I can guarantee when Jason steps off that boat even Octavian will believe that we were right to let them land," I say confidently.
"I hope so, but I wish that I didn't have to tell everyone to have their weapons ready," Reyna said regretfully, "I hope that the people on that ship realize we aren't attacking."
"I know that they won't Annabeth is smart like that, she probably realizes that if we didn't want them to land they wouldn't have gotten this far."
"Yes, she is a child of Minerva, correct?" Reyna asked.
"Yes and no, she prefers Athena remember, as much as you Romans hate Greeks we dislike you even more for conquering us," I say carefully.
"Okay, well I don't hate you and you are Greek but I'll keep that in mind."
"And I don't hate you or the others, except maybe Octavian," I answer jokingly.
"I must say, even though I shouldn't because I am praetor, I'm not too fond of him either."
Hazel and Frank walked up to them holding hands and staring at the large ship with the dragon helm.
"Wow, what's up with the dragon head?" Hazel wondered aloud.
"I don't know but the whole ship looks like one of the Vulcan kids' fantasy," Reyna replied.
