Percy's POV

I finally completed the quest to free Thanatos. I had gotten all my memories back when I drank the gorgon's blood. (Or so he thought) Hazel, Frank, and I rode on Arion with the carriage and weapons. As we arrived back at camp, I was horrified.

The camp was filled with monsters. I jumped down from the horse and uncapped Riptide. I slashed through a path to the giant Polybotes. "So this is the bane of Kronos?" He laughed and I slashed at him. He dodged and swiped his own sword at me.

I raised water from the Little Tiber, but he turned it to poison. "You puny demigod, did you really think that I am the bane of Poseidon for nothing? I will poison the water to where it will only harm you. " He cackled and I stabbed Riptide into him. Right afterwards, he healed, not even a scar showed.

How could I defeat him? Suddenly yellow smoke surrounded us, and Terminus's statue popped in front of me. "So you're just going to forget me like that? Do I need you to measure every blade of grass?"

I smirked and grabbed the statue. Who knew slamming a god on a giant while stabbing the giant could kill it so quickly. Well, I do now.

The Romans cheered me on and out me on their shoulders. They chanted," Percy for praetor, Percy for praetor."

I remembered the last time I was offered praetorship...

**FLASHBACK**

Reyna called me to the praetor house and motioned for me to come in," Praetors work closely together. It's common for them to become romantically involved. Octavian has been pestering me, agitating for new elections. I've resisted. I need a partner in power—but I'd prefer a warrior, not a schemer." She waited.

I realized she was sending me a silent invitation. But being romantically involved? I have to admit, I felt drawn to Reyna. I replied," I'll give you my answer after the quest. I wouldn't want Rome's praetor to be elected then die on a quest."

Reyna didn't even crack a smile, but I did notice her eyes getting watery. She quickly covered herself," You may leave, Percy. I must finish my paperwork."

I nodded and walked to my bunker. I sighed, this quest better turn out successfully.

**FLASHBACK**

Now, I was offered it again. Reyna walked over and... Hugged me. I couldn't stop the blush from decorating my cheeks.

"So, will you become my fellow praetor?" And that's how I became the praetor of Rome.

A few days later, I walked over to Reyna's house and she opened the door. "Reyna, I got my memories back."

She froze," So where did you come from?" I replied," I am a... Greek demigod. Rome was not the only to survive, I am a son of Poseidon, not Neptune."

She gasped at this information. "But I am loyal to Rome. I swore on Styx, didn't I?"

She smiled and we walked to the forest near our camp. I sat down and Reyna sat down with me. In front of the citizens of Rome, she always has a solid demeanor. But I finally got her to relax around me.

"Reyna, do you trust me?" "Of course I do, Percy."

I grabbed her hand and led her to the ocean. I created an air bubble and her eyes widened. "Percy, the reef is absolutely beautiful! It is so peaceful down here."

She leaned on my chest and I leaned down and whispered," Rey, I know I haven't been here that long, not even close to Jason. "

She looked up at me oddly," Percy, what are you talking about?" I took a deep breath," I think I have... Fallen for you. We just sit around and talk. We just have each other's presence. We just erase the solid mask on the other's face. We just—"

She put her finger on my lips and smiled at me. " Percy, thank you for letting me have a friend. Thank you for letting me open up to someone. Most of all, thank you for letting me know my feelings are returned."

I felt overjoyed," Well then, Rey, will you be my girlfriend?" She kissed me full on the lips and I suddenly felt like I have been in this position before. I shook off the thought and decided this was pretty much the best underwater kiss ever.

"Is that a good enough answer for you?" "No, I need a little more." She slapped me and laughed," We should return back to camp."

It turns out, the senate had called a meeting. Octavian said," I have cut apart the grandest teddy bear. The teddy bear with the moustache and top hat. The most expensive one. I have discovered, the Peophecy of Seven is occurring."

I nearly bursted out laughing. Really? The grandest teddy bear? Reyna, the more serious praetor, asked," Mind telling us the prophecy?"

Eight demigods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
On the voyage arguments will arouse,
Only to be solved by breaking vows.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
Love shall be the way to skip death.

This is yet to be the weirdest prophecy. Is it possible to skip death? I looked at Reyna worriedly and whispered," We might need to answer this call. Do we need a praetor to fill us in for a while?" She looked downhearted, but nodded.

"Who would you trust?" I thought about it and replied," Maybe Gwen and Dakota?" She nodded and we looked to see the senate staring at us.

I nodded at Reyna and she explained about the Greek demigods and about me. Octavian exploded," We shouldn't trust those weak, puny Greeks. In fact, I should replace this insolent Greek right here as praetor."

I looked at him coldly," This weak, puny Greek you're talking about defeated Kronos, the King of the Titans. This weak, puny Greek defeated Polybotes. This weak, puny Greek defeated the god of war for Zeus's sake!" I spat.

Octavian looked frightened for a second, but then smirked," And why should we trust you, or them? How do I know you aren't just a spy here?"

I was so furious," I fought for Rome! I swore on Styx to fight for Rome! Are you really questioning my motives when you haven't sworn anything?"

Reyna then said," We are a senate, we will settle this with a vote. All in favor of teaming up with the Greeks?" Everybody except Octavian raised their hands and I sighed in relief.

Now, I need to deal with a certain augur. "Now, now, Octavian. How do I know you aren't a traitor? Why should I trust you?" He was now shaking in fear. He might've been a good speaker, but he was so scrawny.

An ant could beat him up. Literally. Last time he saw an ant crawl up his arm, he freaked out and screamed," Help me! An ant is going to kill me!" I chuckled, remembering that time.

Octavian scampered off and I turned back to Reyna. "This will be a dangerous war. This enemy is worse than Kronos." The senate gasped. I continued," The giants are rising, along with Gaea. Some Greek campers will come here on a war ship for us to fly to Rome. The actual Rome."

Everybody was shocked at this new enemy. This would be very dangerous. Reyna dismissed the senate and walked over to me. I explained about my dream that I had which included all of that information.

I kissed her and pushed my worries away. Suddenly, shouts were heard near the border of camp. A huge war ship hovered and a ladder came down. First, a boy with cropped blonde hair stepped down. Next was a girl with choppy brown hair and a boy with curly brown hair that somewhat looked like an elf. The last was a blonde with stormy gray eyes.

She looked right at me and I grasped Reyna's hand tightly. They walked over to us. "Romans, lower your weapons!"

The Greeks introduced themselves. The boy with blonde hair was the previous praetor, Jason. The girl behind him was Piper. The Latino elf was Leo, Piper's boyfriend, and the blonde girl was Annabeth.

She had tears in her eys while eying Reyna and my intertwined hands. My heart stopped. I thought I had remembered everything, but seeing this girl made me remember a fact I had forgotten. Annabeth Chase was my girlfriend, yet here I was dating Reyna.

I nodded to Reyna, hoping she'll understand the situation. I walked up to Annabeth. "Seaweed brain, do you not remember me?" "I'm sorry, Annabeth. I just now got my memory of you back. Please forgive me, but there are other people more worth your love than me."

A lone tear fell down her cheek and she spun away on her heel. I smiled sadly, but I knew my heart belonged to Reyna.

I turned away and suddenly heard a voice behind me," Well you're not the only one moving on. I have been asked to be someone else's girlfriend." I heard a heavy kissing sound and saw Jason and Annabeth kissing.

I was glad she had found someone else, yet not so pleased with how she told me of it. I guess I did hurt her though.

Reyna wrapped her arms around my waist and I sighed contentedly. Gwen and Dakota walked over," Don't worry, we can handle the camp. Just be sure to win this war. Good luck."

We packed up and left on the Argo II. I will miss this home I have come to love.
