Author's note: Hey guys, I know it's been forever since I've updated or anything. I was going to continue Wants and Confusions but I kind of realized that the story had very little plot. I do have a good surprise for you all. I don't know if you are familiar with the Percy Jackson series? Here's a new story that I hope you like, it actually has a plot that's going somewhere, haha. Enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: Percy Jackson and the Olympians belong to Rick Riordan! I do not own any of the characters or the background information. I just own the variation of the story and the plot that is to come.

Chapter 1- Truly United

Percy's POV

Rays of light shined through the river as if it were trying to pierce through it. Sitting at the bottom of the riverbed was none other than Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. To the romans he was known as Percy, son of Neptune, also the praetor of the twelfth legion. Percy propelled himself from the bottom of the river up to the top walking onto the soft sand that was bordering the flowing river. With a quick glance he spotted his trade mark orange t-shirt that he still managed to have along with his regal colored praetor's cape. They were both dangling on a tree limb.

"Percy!" yelled a very shrill voice that definitely belonged to the daughter of Pluto. None other than Hazel was running down to the riverbed hand in hand with Frank. "You're needed at the senate house in half an hour.

Percy smirked "Perfect!" he yelled back. Just enough time to take a shower. At will Percy could have become dry instantly, this being the benefit of being the son of Poseidon, but he still felt as if he needed a shower. His morning had been spent practicing mindless swords play in the arena with other demigods.

"I'm going to go grab a shower real quick, tell Reyna I'll be there soon." And with that Percy turned on his heal and headed towards the baths.

Hmmm… Reyna he thought. She sure had been acting really friendly lately after he had been elected Praetor. Maybe it was just the fact that they were to work together very closely. But still that brought other ideas to his head… Percy shrugged. "Whatever." He walked into the baths and quickly made his selection of all the fancy soaps that the Romans were so fond of.

After about twenty minutes or so of allowing his mind to slip away Percy rose from his back and willed the water to drain away. He slipped on a fresh toga that had a silver color on it and straightened his cape to it.

Reyna's POV

The senate building was busy with talk of all sorts. Reyna walked to her chair and took a seat, seeing this everybody became silent. "This meeting with come to order in five minutes, it seems that we are still missing some people." She said this with a glance at the similar "throne", as she liked to call it, empty.

"Percy..." Reyna whispered. "You're almost late again…" Still, Reyna could never be angry with her fellow Praetor, there was something about him. She brushed off the thought, she could never be attracted to that Greek! It was impossible, even if she did like him he still had a thing with another girl going on.

What was her name again? Ana, Annberth, no… Annabeth! That was it. Maybe it was a hint of jealously that she felt? Whatever it was all thoughts were brought to an end as Percy strode in with his cape swaying in the slight breeze.

Gods he looked good she thought. Wait what? She seriously needed to pull herself together. A strong Roman leader would never be fantasizing about a Greek!

"Sorry I'm late." Percy whispered. "I kind of lost track of time in one of those Roman baths, those things sure are great."

Reyna grinned "It's okay Percy, at least you didn't totally forget this time like last week." Reyna and Percy rose, following their example the rest of the Senate rose as well.

"This meeting is to come to order, today we will be discussing the issue of the Greek war ship landing in Camp Jupiter shortly. "

Authors Note- Clearly I'm not going to waste your guy's time and tell you what you hopefully read in the Son of Neptune. I'm just going to jump to the part of the arrival of the ship and then take you into my story.

Percy's POV

After the Senate meeting had taken place Percy and Reyna strode out of the Senate house walking towards the Field of Mars to await their guests that were to arrive shortly. Percy glanced into the air and noticed the gathering of clouds in the sky. Suddenly none other than the Argo erupted out of the gray clouds, flames were bellowing out of the exhaust pipes.

Percy and Reyna stood side by side with their legion of Roman demigods standing behind them. If one was to look at the Romans from a distance they would have easily been intimidated from the vast numbers and ranks that were formed. Endless waves of demigods stood in formation with perfect military discipline. The uniformity was extraordinary.

"Percy." Reyna spoke up. She slipped her hand into his. "Let's give them a reason to not take us lightly, show them that we are united."

Percy blushed, but it quickly faded. "Alright Reyna, maybe you're right." "Maybe, just maybe I do belong to Camp Jupiter with you and the rest of these Romans. Everything feels so united."

And with that Percy stared at the Argo ship that was about to land in front of him. He gave Reyna a quick smile and stood there proudly as the praetor of the twelfth legion.
