Clash of the Demigods

Piper's POV:

I stared at the sea of demigods well-armed demigods in purple shirts. I'll be honest; an hour ago, I was way more confident about this than now. This is because Romans and Greeks do not mix. But that was our mission.

Some demigods yelled and pointed at us. Some of them yanked out their weapons. I was freaking out.

Now, you might not know, but I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Not war, like Ares; not wisdom and battle strategy, like Athena; but love and beauty, like Aphrodite. When I first arrived at Camp Half-Blood, I thought that the Aphrodite cabin was where super-models went to die. I had hoped I'd be a daughter of Athena, with Annabeth Chase. You see, demigods, with the same godly parent are grouped together in a cabin.

"Piper!" Leo Valdez called. "Look at this!" He pointed excitedly towards a beautiful city, just beyond all of the demigods and their training area, which was a green, smooth, giant, grassy field.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed in awe, but just to make him happy. Camp Half-Blood didn't need a huge city inside of it, that's what Manhattan was for. Oh great. If this is what all of us Greeks think about these Romans, I don't think this is going to end well.

Jason stumbled over to me. "This is where I'm from. It's all coming back to me, and it's good to be back."

I nodded and tried to smile. If we made it out alive and successfully, I wasn't sure I'd see Jason again. Because, like I said, Greeks and Romans don't mix, and Jason had amnesia when he met us. The point I'm trying to make is: I don't want to lose Jason. He's been regaining memory, and I'm worried that once we land this flying mother ship, it would be back completely.

Percy's POV:

I watched the flying ship descend, and I could hear Terminus in the background muttering angrily, "Don't come near this city, don't come near this city, or I will end you." I had a feeling that he would end them, if the Roman's didn't end them first.

"Oh my gosh, Percy," Hazel murmured, "that ship is huge!"

"Yeah, and I have feeling that Terminus would get very angry if it parked in the city."

Hazel laughed. "I have a feeling you're right." Jewels popped up all around her. She stopped laughing. "Don't touch those." She warned me for the one-hundredth time.

"I know, I know." I reassured her.

She relaxed a little.

Jewels were her curse. If you picked one up, you would have very, very bad luck, or you would die. Yeah, I know, comforting right? But she can't control it.

I could hear tiny little voices screaming my name. I was sure they were my friends from Camp Half-Blood, who were up on that ship. From a distance, I could see my girlfriend, Annabeth, waving frantically and crying happily, which was really unlike her normal self. I waved back, with an ear-to-ear grin.

"Is that Annabeth?" Hazel asked.

"Yes," I smiled, feeling like something big was about to happen.

"Oh."

The Greek warship descended onto the green, grassy Field of Mars.

Annabeth's POV:

We piled off very quickly, and formed a large mass of us in front of the ship.

A tall girl with dark, curly hair and a purple cloak strode to the front of the Romans, as I pushed to the front of the Greeks.

The girl spoke. "Who are you?" She looked as if she already knew, but was just making sure.

"We're the Greeks," I answered.

The girl nodded. She scanned the crowd, found Jason, screamed in happiness, then regained her composure. "We've been expecting you. Follow me, and bring four other leaders. I'm Reyna, by the way."

I nodded my head in return. "But, what about the rest of us?"

"They can wait on the ship, if they'd like, or my Romans will lead them to the city, as that is where I am going."

I turned to the Greeks. "What do you want to do?"

"City," was the response.

I turned back to Reyna. "Okay."

"Excellent." She said. "Bring your four."

I chose Piper, Leo, Jason, and Grover. I knew Jason wasn't one of our campers, but I had to bring him anyways.

We followed Reyna around the sea of Romans as I heard dozens of cheers welcoming Jason back. Reyna led us past the weird statue that I think was Terminus, the neat freak god. I read about him in Ancient Mythology, but he didn't do much. Just guard the foot of Olympus. We walked into the city and two blocks down, she led us into a room, with a bunch of professionally dressed Roman leaders, ready for a meeting.

"Leaders," Reyna spoke, "we have guests, and Jason!"

The leaders jumped up and crowded around Jason. Jason yelped. "Hi!"

"Leaders, sit down," Reyna ordered. "This is Annabeth, Piper, Leo, Grover, and you know Jason."

The leaders beamed.

"Hi, everyone! It's good to be back. But now we have to find out why I was even gone,"

Jason said.

Percy ran in. He looked like he'd been through a stampede, which was probably true.

I stifled a scream, but Grover and I ran at him and swallowed him in a ginormous bear hug.

"Annabeth!" He cried.

"Percy!" Grover yelled.

"Percy!" I repeated.

Piper and Leo were standing at the back of the room. Jason was again swallowed in his own hug.
