Hey guys. This is a story basically continued from The Son of Neptune but with Carter and Sadie jumping in as well. It also shows you a bit about what i think will be like in The Mark of Athena. :) Review and tell me how it is!

Percy

Percy and Reyna made their way through the legion. The people parted for them. Percy felt nervous. What if something horrible happened and bloodshed occurred? He forced himself to push the thought away as he walked to the front of the legion.

The legion itself had stood in tight formation and looked ready to battle. Camp Half-Blood was less organized, but they took their fighting stances as well. The atmosphere was tense.

Then, five people came and stood a little further in front of the Greek group. He recognized Annabeth at once and his heart soared. He longed to run to her and hug her. He longed to smell that sweet scent and stare into those stormy gray eyes again. Annabeth was staring at him too. Her eyes shone with relief and longing as well. But he forced himself to stay put as he saw the guy called Leo, a pretty girl and a blonde guy step out next to her. The blonde was most probably Jason. He heard Reyna gasp beside him and found his new best friends, Hazel and Frank on his other side. He was thankful for their support.

The place was silent. The only sound was Tyson scraping the ground nervously and Ella whispering quotes. Percy stared into Jason's eyes and they both found an understanding for each other. They knew they had come for the same goal. To unite two which were once enemies.

Jason stepped forward. He had the air of a regal Roman statue and his blue eyes looked intense. "I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, leader of Camp Half-Blood." His voice was sure and firm. He raised his hand in Percy's direction, waiting for him to shake it. Some Romans gasped and Percy thought he heard Octavian mutter, "Traitor." But Percy taught the introduction was quite appropriate- after all, Jason was the leader of Camp Half- Blood now.

He looked at Reyna and she nodded. She knew he had to be the one to do this. So he took his step forward, consciously realizing that his friends in Camp Half- Blood were staring at him in awe. "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, praetor of the twelfth legion of Rome." Percy hoped he had not messed up the Roman legion title. What an idiot that would make him sound like. Thank goodness, no one said anything, but mutters came from Annabeth's side. Percy shook Jason's hand. Silence was all around. Jason looked at Percy, "You know what we came for." He said. Percy nodded, "I do."

So nervously, Percy stepped forward again, but not to address his legion. He faced Camp Half-Blood. Jason nodded at him. "Hey, guys." Percy said, scanning the crowd for familiar faces. He saw a few and his heart calmed down. It's just my friends. He told himself, which wasn't entirely true. The whole camp was staring at him now, "Remember me, guys? Percy Jackson? I was your leader during the second Titan War. I led you up to Mount Olympus to defend the thrones of our gods." He waited for a response. It was silent for a moment, and Percy felt stupid. But then, one of the Stoll brothers, probably Travis called out, "How can we forget you, Percy? You saved us all! And you saved Olympus!" A cheer went up in the crowd and everyone followed. Annabeth was staring at him with shining eyes and her smile made him feel like he was melting.

Percy wanted to sigh in relief. At least they remembered him. Well, most of them anyway. He turned to the Romans, who were still tensed up, not influenced by the Greeks cheers, "And you guys should remember your old praetor, Jason Grace?" Percy felt bad saying 'old', as if he had stolen his title from him. Jason turned to his old friends. "I was sent to Camp Half- Blood, by Juno to learn the Greek's way so that we may be united, Greek and Roman. It was an exchange of two leaders." He glanced at Percy. "Percy was sent to you, Romans, to help you and also to find a way to unite us."

Octavian, always the brave one, spoke loudly, "How can we trust you? You…" But Jason cut him off, "I was praetor, Octavian. You still do not know the way I worked? Why would I betray my legion and feed you with lies?" His cold voice made Percy feel that Jason used to be a strict praetor and he shared his dislike for the augur. Octavian scowled, "And yet you abandoned us and became leader of another camp?" This time, Percy got irritated, "It was part of it, Octavian. We didn't abandon anything. What else will you be accusing us of next? That we were faking amnesia and seeking sympathy? If I were you, I'll keep my mouth shut because I don't even know half the things that happened on the way to Alaska nor anything that is happening right now." I glared at him, daring him to argue.

Jason glared as well. "The Greeks and the Romans must be united, that is for sure. Seven of the greatest demigods of all time must combine to defeat Gaia. I'm sure all of you have heard the prophecy before." Many nodded. Percy faced them, trying to look at all of them in the eye, "We have to fight together." He insisted, "If not, the world will fall, and Gaia will kill us all. The Titan War would seem like a cat fight compared to what Gaia has planned."

Percy held up his hand. "We may have been enemies for eons, but that can change. It has to change, for all our sakes. The smooth exchange of leaders ensured that the two camps can be united. We aren't that different. We are all sons, daughters or have relations to the gods, regardless of whether they are Roman or Greek." Percy said, trying to read their expressions. "I agree with this." Jason spoke. There was nothing but silence.

"I swear, on the River Styx, that I am doing this for all of us. I shall not fight without reason, and I shall not fight my own brothers and sisters, Roman or Greek as long as they are fighting on the right side." Percy said with total dedication.

Jason raised his head. "I swear to fight alongside my friends- Greek or Roman, as long as they still stand for goodness. I swear to support them and their leader- Percy Jackson. I swear it on the River Styx."

They shook hands, and thunder rumbled across the sky.

Then, a war cry broke out in the two groups. Instead of Greek, or Roman, they all shouted, "For the gods!" The cheer grew louder and it took a long time to stop. When it did, Percy and Jason smiled grimly, "You've got a deal. Welcome to Camp Jupiter." Percy said, as he shook Jason's hand.

That would have made Percy's day, but something else had to happen.

Suddenly, a boy and a girl appeared from thin air. Literally. Something seemed to have opened up before they arrived, but it was gone so quickly Percy couldn't see it. The two looked up, shocked to see new faces. Immediately, swords were drawn. Percy raised Riptide cautiously, with Jason right beside him. "Who are you?" he asked, giving them his trained wolf glare. They seem to cower a little before him. The girl held out a powerful looking staff. She looked thirteen. The boy, who looked nothing like her, was around my age. He was smarter. He stepped out and called out, "My name is Carter Kane. This is my sister, Sadie. We come in peace." Murmurs rippled through the crowd. "Kill them!" A voice yelled. "Tear them!" At these shouts, the boy narrowed his eyes and drew a sword from the air.

The crowd growled.

Jason raised his gladius, "Keep quiet!" and the whole camp listened. "Are you demigods?" He asked the two cautiously. The boy cocked his head, confused, "Demigods? Are you asking whether we are related to gods?" he asked.

"Not exactly. But are you?"

Carter looked at his sister. "Yes, we are. We are descendants of two powerful families. I am studying the path of Horus whereas Sadie is studying the path of Isis." This made no sense to Percy, but the name Horus seemed familiar. The crowd grew restless again. Carter looked nervous, "We are blood of the Pharaohs. We are related to- Hold it, is that a gladius?" His question caught Jason off guard.

"Of course it is."
Carter looked excited. "Gladius and roman toga. If I'm not mistaken, you are the Romans?" The crowd roared in disapproval. Percy raised my hand to keep them quiet. "Yes, some of us are anyway. Who are you?" Percy repeated, grasping my sword tightly. Sadie, the girl spoke timidly, "Kane. We are children of Egypt."

Silence was all around. Percy was shocked. Egypt? More gods? Oh no… No wonder the name Horus sounded familiar. Chiron must have mentioned it somewhere in high school. Egyptian mythology.

Everyone was looking at Percy now. Since this was his territory, he knew he had to make a decision. Percy took a deep breath. "Carter and Sadie Kane, you will follow me. Jason, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth, Grover, come as well. The rest, follow Reyna." He looked at her and in a low voice, he said, "Bring them and let them eat. Afterwards, come to your praetor's house. I need you." He didn't want her to feel like he was bossing her around. Reyna nodded, understandingly.

"Everyone, there will be no fighting. You will wait for the praetor's decision before you act." Percy ordered. They looked displeased, but none of them protested. Then,

An unpleasant idea crossed his mind. Scowling, Percy called out, "Octavian, come with me. I want to see you in the praetor's room." With that, he managed to sweep his cape behind him coolly and led the chosen group to the praetor's house.

I'll try to update as soon as possible. :D
