Hello, I am NIcholas Blackadder, Royal Scribe to his majesty King Mago the third, or the late King Mago the third. As my captures have granted me another stay of execution, so that I may publish my piece, I have taken the opportunity to write its sequel, the truth behind the Second Titan and Giant war. I have spoken with the people involved and they all offered me their sincerest condolences and agreement that I could write this. So without further ado, here it is.

Jason

Jason was in his element, after charging up a mountain he and all of the other legions of Rome began their assault on Mt. Othrys. Monster after monster fell to the blades of Rome. As the Roman army inched closer to the black throne there was only one more enemy in the way, Krios. After dealing with thousands of monsters one guy with rams horns and a giant sword wasn't that intimidating, this was a mistake as a few Roman soldiers found out.

As the ten gladius armed soldiers charged forward towards Krios the later simply sidestepped and impaled three of them in quick succession before whirled around, lobbing another's head clean off. As the remaining soldiers tried to group together, in order to use their shields to an advantage, Krios managed to kick the legs out from under one as he proceeded to thrust his blade into the Roman's shoulder, as he then pulled his blade free of the body the remaining Romans fled back behind their lines.

Sensing an opening Jason grabbed a pilum from one of his men and threw it at Krios, the javelin found its mark burying deep in his right shoulder, this emitted a scream of agony from the titan, but who nonetheless still griped onto his sword.

Jason then flipped his coin and snatched his gladius from the air as he approached the Titan. Krios, who had noticed the approaching Jason readied his sword, and threw it straight at the Demigods exposed neck. Jason had just enough time to raise his shield before the long Greek sword banged into the shield causing Jason to immediately drop it, as pain seared through his left arm.

Jason, immediately recognized that his shield arm would be useless in a hand to hand fight threw his shield as a Frisbee straight at Krios, who was able to sidestep the majority of it but it still was able to strike him hard in his left arm.

As the two swordsman approached each other Jason scanned the area making sure that there were no more of Kronos's servants who could interrupt his duel, he saw no one but with his attention focused squarely on the enemy in front of him he could have missed something which he did.

Krios was the first to strike, a quick horizontal slash aimed at Jason's torso, Jason jumped back as he looked for an opening. Krios on the other hand was going all out in this fight slashing and stabbing whenever he got the chance.

Jason kept his head cool and parried or dodged all of the Titans attacks. Eventually Jason noticed he was tiring and had no choice to try to end this as soon as possible, to make one appear sooner than later Jason gritted his teeth as he allowed himself to be hit in the left shoulder as he moved in close enough to thrust his gladius straight through Krios's chest.

The army behind Jason noticed that neither of the two moved for what seemed like an hour before both of them fell to the ground, a couple of the battle medics rushed up and tried to heal the injured son of Jupiter.

"We need to get him back to the city," a medic looked up, "his Clavicle is severed in two, we can stop the blood loss here but…" he said as the other praetor approached the three.

Reyna

"Go, the important part is done," she said looking around the throne room, "I can handle the rest."

"Eye, sir." the medics said as they carefully loaded Jason on a stretcher and headed back down the mountain.

"The battle is over," Reyna said as she turned around to address the army, "as we have won the battle here Kronos's power returns to nothing as he himself fades, the only thing we need to do now is to dismantle this abomination to secure that the Titans will never again threaten the empire, and as Romans I trust you know how. The first and second cohorts will begin at the top of the fortress, and the third fourth and fifth will take any valuables out of the fortress to be divided up for sacrifices and maintenance. legion out."

At her words the entire army split off in their groups to work on their assigned tasks. "Octavian, Dakota, and Robin, come with me." Reyna shouted back to the group.

"What is it." Robin, the centurion of the second cohort ,asked.

"Come with me." Reyna said as she lead the three centurions to the back of the chamber.

"What is it." Robin asked.

"Its around here," Reyna said as she began prodding the black marble wall with the but of her spear. "I noticed a golden light coming from somewhere around here while Jason was fighting Krios." Reyna said. "Really, they thought this was a good hiding place." Reyna said as she pushed on a noticeably out of place rock.

The wall started to shake and soon a section of it shifted so that they were staring down a hidden corridor.

The three of them looked each other and nodded in silent agreement, this was rather suspicious.

The three of them all filed down the dark, cold hallway stopping periodically to let their eyes adjust to the darkness. As they continued their trek the four Romans eventually entered a dimly lit room, with tapestries of mythical events hanging on the walls and a large golden sarcophagus in the center.

"Is that Saturn"? Dakota asked, staring at the golden sarcophagus.

Octavian inched closer wiping some of the dust off of it, "it seems to be more attributed with Krios the Titan that Jason just slew." he said turning around. "However the similarities stop there," he continued, "it shows lightning and mountains, attributes belonging to Jupiter, alongside the rams head, I really don't know what to make of it."

Reyna sighed, "Do you know if it could be used for a ritual of some sort"?

Octavian studied the object. "I don't know, I could try to do a little research on it back in New Rome but for now… I… all I can think of its possible uses would be to melt it down for a statue or weapons."

Reyna frowned, "Whatever it is it looks far to heavy to move by hand, we'll have to come back later with some of our siege equipment. Come on," she said as she grabbed a torch from the wall and started to leave the chamber, "let's get back to the legion."

Back outside of the tunnel the Romans had dismantled the entire fortress besides the base, which they left standing for structural reasons. One of the soldiers, Bobby approached Reyna and told her that the army was getting ready to head back to New Rome when out of nowhere a javelin flew through the air piercing Robin's chest splattering blood across the Praetor's face, as Robin fell to the ground.

"Soldiers of Rome, form formations!" Reyna yelled.

There was mass confusion as the Romans scrambled to get into positions, and just as the last soldier had gotten into his Cohort, and the Romans had their fabled, checkerboard pattern in play, a group of thirty or so heavily armored cavalry equipped with eight foot spears slammed into the second cohort.

While the newcomers were outnumbered ten to one this did nothing to stop the severity of the initial attack, while the spears that the riders carried were used proficiently, the major reason for casualties was the charging of the horses, and even after the horsemen had been surrounded the fighting did not lessen, when the horses were slain some of the riders leapt off of their horses and pulled out two foot long bent swords and continued to fight.

After another grueling hour of fighting the last of the horsemen had either been disposed of or captured.

Reyna then returned to where Robin had been shot, and found both Octavian and Dakota surrounding a pool of blood. "Where's Robin"? She asked out of breath.

Both Octavian and Dakota looked away "I don't know, if she, if she isn't with the rest of the soldiers or with the wounded or on the funeral pyre she was captured." Octavian said as he walked away to help with the dead.

Reyna took off her helmet and kneeled down, "Dakota," she said in an unusually calm tone, "I want those prisoners to talk. What did hey want why did they do this. Gods know the senate will want to know why there were more deaths fighting… whatever they were than monsters and Titans." She said as she shakily drew a breath and stood "Why did this have to happen today"?
