Chapter 1: Greeks

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson nor the characters. The only characters I own are the characters I created. Enjoy

My name is Percy Jackson. I live in Berkeley, California. I am 17 years old. And I am a demigod.

I am the son of Sally Jackson and Neptune. I go to a training camp for demigods, Camp Jupiter, year-round. It's the only safe place for children of the gods.

Since I was two years old I have been training at Camp Jupiter. We learn honesty, strength, and dedication. And of course we train with weapons. Such as spears, swords, daggers, halberds, etc. I am the Centurion of the second cohort, along with my cousin Jason Grace. He's a son of Jupiter.

We're best friends and do everything together. He's the only person I can train with also. Jason and I are the best swordsmen in camp. The only people that can hold their own against us are Jason's girlfriend, Reyna, and my sister, Andromeda.

Let me explain how Andromeda is related to me. We have the same mother, but different fathers. She is a daughter of Pluto.

Now I know what you're thinking,"Oh, how could your mother have two gods that were interested in her?" Well here's what happened, Neptune and mom fell in love together. And after spending time together they decided to have a baby. That's where I come in.

As my mother was pregnant, Neptune decided he didn't love mom anymore. So, he broke the relationship off. My mother was heartbroken, and she was all alone as she gave birth to me.

But Uncle Pluto had been watching mom and helping her through everything. And he had fallen in love with her too! Uncle Pluto decided to let his wife, Prosperpina, be back with her mother and be no longer trapped in the Underworld.

He spent a lot of time with mother and helped raised me. Gradually she fell in love with him also. And they had Andromeda. But Uncle Pluto didn't leave mom like Neptune did. He married her. And now my mother is his immortal wife. Andromeda is only two years younger than I am, but she's still my best friend. We get in fights a lot. But what family doesnt?

Now let's get back to the present.

I'm supposed to go meet Jason at the Pomerian Line and we were going to the Senate house.

I seriously hate Senate meetings. They drag on for a long time because of Octavian. A legacy of Apollo and apparent prophet. That's a load of bull if you ask me. He's just selfish and power hungry. And all he wants to do is control the Praetors, Kyle and Reyna.

Oh! Did I mention that Jason's girlfriend is Praetor?

I saw Jason and he looked frantic. Like he knew something terrible was going to happen. "What's wrong bro?", I asked.

"I just have a bad feeling about this meeting. It feels like Othrys all over again."

I knew what he was talikng about. Last summer the Legion launched an attack on the Titan stronghold, Mount Othrys which currently resides on top of Mount Tamalpais in Orange County. We lost a lot of good people, but we won the battle. Jason and I defeated the Titan Krios, and the war was over.

"It's going to be okay, it's just a senate meeting. We'll probably just be talking about War Games."

"Yeah, I guess you're right.", Jason said.

As we walked into the Senate House and sat down, Kyle nodded to me, and I nodded back. Kyle is a good Praetor, we couldn't have gotten through the war without him. He led the attack on Mount Othrys. And he's a good fighter, he's easily the best spearman in camp. He can wipe the floor with me if we're using spears. And even if we're using swords,I can barely beat him. We get along and he's funny and relaxed if you get to know him. He's a natural born leader. Probably the best male candidate for a Praetor.

As the meeting started everybody was conversing together and not even paying attention to the Praetors. This lack of respect is unacceptable in New Rome.

"SENATE MEMBERS! If you could please be so kind as to respect our Praetors by looking at them and following orders.", Jason yelled confidently.

All members of the Senate were taken aback by the sudden outburst. And all looked down in shame and apologized to Reyna and Kyle. Reyna smiled towards Jason. The latter looking at me cockily and winking, I had to stifle a laugh.

Kyle began, "Brothers and Sisters, we have recieved notice of a Greek warship coming towards New Rome. We must decide what to do."

"We must shoot it out of the sky! Of course the Greeks come to destroy us!", Octavian interrupted.

I had to intervene here. "We should do no such thing. I know of the rivalry between Rome and Greece, but that was long ago. We should be able to put our past behind us and talk to the Greeks without conflict. We should have a peaceful conversation outside of the camp's borders, so that if by the off chance that Octavian is correct, they will not know of our precise location."

A vote was held. The tally was 11-4. We would have a peaceful conversation with the Greeks to see why they approach. Outside the borders of course.

The group would be Kyle, Reyna, Jason, Andromeda, and I. Andromeda was a centurion of the first cohort, that's why she'd be going.

An hour later, we walked out into the Berkeley Hills with a giant white flag that symbolizes peace.

The biggest Greek warship I had ever seen came into view. It was flying!

I know Kyle, being a son of Vulcan, would be dying to see how this was made.

It was 50 feet long and 20 feet wide and had all the weaponry you could ever imagine on it. It had 3 masts and they were all flying white sails. The ship landed about a hundred yards away and a rope ladder was thrown down the side. I guess the Greeks were coming...

A.N. I'm sorry for being away for so long. I had to move to a different state and I finally just got my computer back. But I'll be updating this story a lot. And I'm going to discontinue Chaotic Ruins, I just can't write a Chaos story. Please review. It helps me update!
