Intro: Of course, after reading another one of Rick Riordan's awesome tale of modernized Greek mythology I was ever so hungry for more, and so I will express my interpretation of how the next novel: The Mark of Athena will turn out here. I'll answer why I choose to do things a certain way at the end, or you can message me. Now let's pick up from where we left off...

The Mark of Athena

1

Jason

As soon as they got within a couple miles of the place everyone was antsy on top deck. They were approaching their destination. It took them only a couple of hours in their vehicle. From afar you might

mistaken their vessel the Argo IIfor a giant trireme flying through the air- of course if you could see through the mist- with a robotic dragon as a mast head. You might say it's still relies on oars and a sail for

locomotion. Of course if you look closely they're actually both part of a Greek fire powered propulsion system. It's designed exactly like the long, narrow trireme. Built primarily for speed but thanks to the

efforts of the Hephaestus and Athena cabin, it turned out to be luxurious as well, of course the yard sized cabins at the lower level might have just been overkill. It took eight months to put together with the

best architects and builders out there.

It's navigational system determines the ship's motion, based on knowledge and command. Unfortunately even the best GPS cannot pinpoint the exact location of their desired destination, so Jason's memory

supplied the knowledge, and his friend Leo worked on commands. All they had to do was touch the magic infused mast head to move.

Jason looked around, thinking of how awkward this must be for his friends. He stood next to his friends Annabeth, Leo and Piper, and as they sailed he thought of what had happened to him the past eight

months. He remembered how his memory was wiped, and he along with Piper and Leo were recruited to a place for demigods; Camp Half-blood. He always felt however, that he might not belong there.

Throughout a defying quest to save the Goddess Hera, he started to remember his life in Camp Jupiter; a place for roman demigods.

They were finally making their way there and unlike anyone else on board he was not worried. He was eager to see his old friends; of course he expects to see Percy Jackson, Annabeth's boyfriend. The

demigod everyone at Camp Half-Blood looks up to, like himself at Camp Jupiter. They had switched places as hope of uniting the demigods.

Then Jason saw the camp more clearly now. He stared at mount Diablo, it was there where Leo, Piper and himself had defeated the giant Enceladus and rescued Piper's dad. He looked at Piper to find her

staring at that same place. He quickly put behind him. That was the past. Besides he caught site of Camp Jupiter. He saw the huge Aqueduct, the Little Tiber that served as a magical boundary surrounding

New Rome, the barracks , Temple Hill and the Field of Mars. He took a glance at the surrounding Berkeley area, to the south the Oakland hills and to the north Berkeley hills. He felt nostalgic seeing all these

old places Leo touched the mast head and they stopped, hovering in the air.

"We're about a half a mile away, your friends have probably already seen us," Annabeth stated. "I don't think we can just fly in, Jason how do you want to play this?"

It should have bothered Jason that the daughter of Athena didn't know what to do, but he's used to leading others and he's the only one who knows the place. All eyes were on him as he thought, finally he

spoke:

"They've seen us, which means they should have warned Reyna by now. The sentries haven't started shooting at us which means they aren't sure if we're hostiles. Terminus won't let us enter New Rome so

we'd better land on the Field of Mars over there." Jason pointed towards a large field littered with trenches, and they descended towards there. He spotted several demigods with Bows drawn at ready,

thankfully not aimed, there were more watching from the Via Praetoria and some approaching from New Rome.

They landed and Jason surveyed the demigods, as soon as they saw him they relaxed and lowered their weapons, and started talking amongst themselves. An old ghostly figure appeared, a Lare? Yes a

medicine ball bellied Lare in an oversized toga spoke "Welcome back son of Jupiter, you've returned just after a battle. What's this, more Graecus?"

"Hello..uh, Vitellius." He hasn't remembered all of the names, but they were slowly coming back to him. He was going to say more, but he caught sight of about five demigods on the opposite side of the Via

Praetoria leaving New Rome. One of them was a thin blonde haired boy around his age holding a teddy bear, whose face turned into a deep frown when he saw him. He immediately recognized him as

Octavian, the power hungry scoundrel that made more bribes than he did friends. He remembered how he hated Octavian for his vile ways, and how Octavian hated him for his influence. As far as he

remembered, these feelings only intensified when Jason became praetor. Another of the demigods was a dark skinned, curly haired girl who looked at him worriedly. She was one of Jason's close friends

Hazel, a couple years younger than him. Close to her were to guys Jason didn't know. One was a big Chinese guy with a bow strapped to his back, from the way he walked shoulder to shoulder with Hazel he

might have guessed they were a couple. The other guy, Jason immediately knew to be Percy Jackson. Jason could almost sense he was the son of Poseidon, he radiated power. He was wearing a Toga, not

exactly the most fashionable piece of clothing but they are worn by people in power. Jason wouldn't be surprised to find him praetor, he seemed to be the most influential demigod in Camp Half-Blood. Even in

his absence. Hera had spoken of this very switch. He wondered how he would fall in with him, and whether knowing each other would help or hinder Olympus.

As much just Jason was interested in meeting his Greek counterpart, he was overwhelmed with thoughts seeing another demigod in a toga. She had dark piercing eyes, and long black hair. She led as praetor

with Jason before he left. Reyna, the name brought with it several feelings. Some he couldn't quite understand. It made him question his feelings about Piper, which have been predominant ever since he went

to Camp with her last year. Reyna called them to stop a couple metres away from the ship; however Percy took a couple steps more. Nobody spoke, not even Leo. It dawned on him that he should be the one

to break the silence. Reyna beat him to the punch.

"It's been a long time, Jason Grace."

By process of elimination I picked Jason for the first chapter, it didn't seem fit to give it to Frank, Hazel, Leo or Piper. I know Annabeth might have been an option because it's called the mark of Athena but I'm thinking that Percy and Jason should still be predominant, and though Percy and Annabeth's reuniting is important, I felt Jason's reminiscence of Camp Jupiter could not be ignored. At the same time, I ended it at a point where I could still fit in a reunion for Percy and Annabeth. By the way, sorry if I'm bad with imagery.
