MICHAEL

It was a beautiful summer morning in the Camp Jupiter, the sun glinted off the water from the baths casting a rainbow like array of light across the Praetors headquarters; the scent of fresh pastries filled the air pavilion and Hannibal the elephant trumpeted a happy tune across the valley.

Michael Varus made his way to the top of the hill with his fellow Praetor; Eden from the first cohort. He stared across the valley drinking in the beautiful scenery and savouring the feeling his home gave him.

"Eden" he said. She turned and flashed him her regular smile, his heart skipped a beat like it usually did when Eden was around.

"What's up Mike?" she questioned

"I've been thinking about the prophecy of seven and I think I've deciphered it, were meant to go to Alaska that's we're we begin, I have a feeling there's something big there "he stated. "I'm going to be the one to lead us to victory, for the fifth cohort and for Rome."

Eden just stared at him, she took a deep breath – "You can't! It isn't time yet; we have consulted the auguries, the prophecy isn't due for decades"

"Please Mike, stay here with me" her eyes began to water, and a lone tear trickled down her face. It was unusual for a Roman leader to show such emotion they were supposed to be strong and commanding but somehow, the façade had broken. Michael knew he was only one Eden felt comfortable sharing her feelings with; hey the life of a Roman Praetor was hard.

"I can't, I know in my heart that I have to do this, I have chosen 30 from different cohorts to follow me on our quest to Alaska, each with their own special talents and attributes to give us the best chance of finishing this quest." Michael wiped a lone tear from her cheek "I'm going to take the eagle, hey of anything can protect us it's that thing"

She grabbed his arm"I can't lose you, I need..."

"Shhh, don't think like that I'll be coming back, I'm a son of Jupiter remember?" he flashed his cheeky smile "Winnings what we do best."

"You better do Varus, or ill hit you so hard you'll land on your podex" she teased and he laughed breaking the tension.

"Varus you better get down here so I can whip your podex at deathball" a voice came from down the hill.

"That sounds like Noah – I better go and show him who's boss huh?" he kissed her on the cheek "See you at dinner, yeah?"

Eden nodded with a slight smile on her face and watched Mike walked down the hill meeting Noah's taunts with his own insults that implied Noah's mother was rather on the large side.
