Percy Pov
I woke up with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. I had just dreamed a horrible nightmare, AGAIN. Jeez, demigod life sucks!
I dreamt about a boy with skinny arms and long black hair- I didn't recognize him, but he looked like a friend- standing on the top of Half-blood hill, a tattoo on his arm that said 'SPQR' and had a spear on it, watching the camp slowly burn. Okay, I thought, He isn't a friend. A pale-skinned blonde-haired girl walked up next to him and said: "James, you okay?"
He grimly nodded and walked back. I noticed the girl also had a SPQR tattoo with a helmet. The Helmet of Darkness. She was probably somehow related to Hades- that guy was extremely creepy- I'm not going near her. Annabeth woke up next to me and asked: "Percy, are you OK?"
I answered with a barely audible 'yes' and told her my dream. She frowned and said: "SPQR- the motto of the Romans. Are there, like, some crazy Roman demigods going to attack Camp Half-blood? AGAIN? After Octavian, we don't need any more."
"Wait a minute- that kid looks a bit like Reyna. Is it Reyna's brother or something?"
"I'll Iris-message her."
Annabeth took a drachma out of her pocket and said: "O Fleecy, do me a solid."
Reyna appeared. She was at the forum with Frank, the former praetor. She greeted us.
"Reyna, have you got a brother?"
She nodded. "I've got a younger brother called James. He ran away from home when he was two years old."
"Holy Hera!" I exclaimed, "At the age of two!"
"He's currently plotting against the Greeks. You guys. He's like my 'evil twin'." She made quotation marks with her fingers.
I ended the Iris message and said to Annabeth: "Bad news."
