I own nothing

This is how the Hidden Oracle should have ended.

"Vince, fall on your spear please." Vince wanted to object but he like his forefathers was a loyal German, he quickly placed the tip of the spear under his ribcage when a third voice called out from the edge of the grove.

"Well what do you know, I now have the chance to fell the descendant of the good for bloody nothing Augustus."

Apollo immediately hated this newcomer, how dare he insult the greatest Roman ever, and his descendant

"Nero, Nero, Nero, you call our people loyal to the Romans but you can't even unite all of us, tell me, what would Augustus say." The intruder said unsheathing his sword.

"Gary Vince kill him, kill him, kill the intruder, how dare he question a god!" Nero's voice squeaked.

Both of the Germani forgot about Nero's previous order and lowered their spears and charged at the newcomer who easily sidestepped them.

"Well looks like the Roman commanders are as effective now as they were in my time. Also you're Germans are soft." the newcomer said impaling Vince in the chest with his sword. "You should try recruiting some Cherusci, Bructeri, Marsi, Sicambri, Chauci or Chatti, or even some Suebi. Or would involving them bring up some memories you would rather keep hidden." he said whirling around and jumping on top of the fallen Vince to keep out of Gary's spear range.

"You see Nero, I too have had time to think, being dead for a couple thousand years allows that doesn't it, but anyway look at me still alive, just like you." he said deflecting a spear thrust from Gary.

"Ha, I haven't heard about you, what are you? Some Celt with delusions of grandeur." Nero said backing away from the two dueling Germans.

"Ha, you wish. At one point in my life I probably would have served under you, but I decided against it, heck my own brother, Flavus, remained loyal to you posh little Romans. The newcomer said slashing at Gary's hamstrings causing him to fall into a heap on the ground.

All I know is that since were both immortal, I can have as much time killing you as I want." The lone German said raising his bloodstained blade towards the Roman emperor.

I don't plan on continuing this but if I get enough responses, who knows, anyway if you liked this check out my other Percy Jackson fics, specifically The Missing Emperor

Hopefully you got who I was trying to depict there if not maybe I will continue it, or merge it with my already started Carthage series.
