Chapter 1
Percy

After 7 months of waiting, he finally got to see his girlfriend. He finally got to see Annabeth. What would he say? What would she say? Would she kiss him? Punch him? Yell at him? As these questions raced through his head a gigantic warship started a descent. It kept coming closer and closer. Then it hit the ground with a soft THUD. The first person of the ship was a guy Percy didn't recognize. He had blond hair and electric blue eyes. He had a aura of power around him. It wasn't powerful. But, it wasn't weak either. It was mysterious and like thunder about to explode. He scanned through the crowd.

The entire Roman army gasped. Reyna took a step forward. " J Jaa Jason" she asked in a uncertain voice.

" Yup, I'm back" Jason said. He thought this was pretty lame.

Reyna regained her composure and said " Welcome back, I see Percy was correct. The Greeks truly do not mean any harm. How many are on there?"

" 3 others. The rest will meet us in Rome considering everything goes well. Then we take back Rome from the giants and defend Olympus in Greece." Jason said. The entire legion looked uncomfortable when he said 'Greece'. Octavian and his followers looked at Jason in disgust. They no doubt expected him to say the Greeks were the enemies. " Guys you can come out now."

Jason scanned the crowd. He finally saw me. I felt my aura becoming stronger. Normally, I would try to weaken it for first encounters. But, this was a exception. If I was going to lead this quest, I needed respect. So, I let my energy flow. I could fell my power. The very earth seemed to notice and tensed. Then he did something that had the entire legion on the ground laughing.

Jason knelled and said "Forgive me my lord, I did not recognize you. Which god are you?"

It took a second to the entire disciplined Roman army was on the ground, laughing there heads of. Same with took all of Percy's willpower not to go meet her. In Rome a leader must not be biased. He can't show any affection in public. After everyone

He saw her eyes lock on him and he promptly looked away. Ignoring her hurt like a physical wound. But, he had no choice. He also needed to talk to Reyna about the prophecy Ella said.

"Cohorts dismissed." Reyna whizzed

Once everyone was gone I whispered "Praetor meeting. My house. Tell our guest what to do. See you later."

I then turned and walked of.

Annabeth

So Jason goes out to meet them. It made the most strategic sense. He was there former leader. There current leader, Reyna used to be his girlfriend. It would convince them not to attack immediately.

Meanwhile Annabeth was thinking about Percy. What should she do? Hug him? Kiss him? Kill him? Hit him? Did he even remember her? What if he had another girlfriend? Annabeth shuddered at the thought. She finally decided she would let him make the first move.

When Jason finally called them out by saying "Guys you can come out know." She took at deep breath and walked out.

Percy didn't even look at her. Her worst fear confirmed. He must not remember her or he might have another girlfriend. Oh gods, what was she going to do?

Then, she sensed a change in his aura. It became more powerful. She had been in the presence of Zeus and believe me, this made him look tame.

Just then Jason started kneeling. "Forgive me my lord, I did not recognize you. Which god are you?"

Jason thought Percy was a god?! Know that she thought about it, it was a easy mistake. With a aura like that... Everyone cracked up.

After they were done laughing the girl, Reyna, dismissed the cohorts. She saw Percy whisper something than stalk of. Jealousy burned in me like a fire. Was she Percy's new girlfriend?

She walked toward us with a buff Asian boy and dark skinned girl.

"Hazel, Frank, show them around. I have a praetor meeting to get to." she snapped and walked of.

The girl, whom I inferred was Hazel and Leo was staring at each others like they had seen ghosts.

" Hazel Levesque" Leo whispered.

"S Saa Sammy Valdez" Hazel asked.

"I didn't care what there problem was. I had my own set of problems.

"Where's Percy. Talking to Reyna. That's what a praetor meeting is. Due to a couple of facts, I'm willing to take you to eavesdrop on them. Hazel and Valdez need to get there thoughts straight and some privacy." said the Asian boy. Frank.

Hazel and Leo shot him a grateful look.

8 minutes later

They were standing with their ear pressed against the door.

They could hear Reyna speaking "I am against Annabeth going on this quest". I tensed and listened harder.

Percy's voice said "as am I. But, it is the will of the fates. Better explained, Athena's will."

"Yes, but why?" asked Reyna.

Percy sighed in defeat "The harpy, Ella memorized a half burned book of Syblinne. She recited a prophecy. Wisdom's daughter walks alone, the Mark of Athena burns through Rome, then Juno also told me it's Annabeth" said Percy.

"But, the mark of Athena... Athena wouldn't kill her own daughter would she?" asked Reyna quietly.

"Athena never did this without thinking. She knew well, I would kill myself instead. She will try to resist. But, as the mark pledges the pain will be unbearable. Worse than holding up the sky. She will lose her willpower. At that point, I could take the mark and die in her place. She will have served her purpose." said Percy bitterly.

"But why would Athena want to kill you, and why gamble her daughters life? Why not kill you directly?" asked Reyna.

"Athena isn't stupid. While it'll kill me in the end it will increase our chances of success. I am Poseidon's pride and joy. If she kills me directly after the war, she will have turned every single demigod and god against her, with the exception of Hades, Ares, and Zeus. Much better to kill me this way. She can say that I chose to die. Back to the main point, Annabeth is the seventh demigod."

A long silence followed.

"Ok, Percy, you win what else did you want to tell me." said Reyna

"The goddess Styx visited me." answered Percy as if a goddess visits him every day.

"What?" Reyna asked shocked.

"She gave me a new weapon and told me something you should hear." Percy answered causally.

"What is it?" asked Reyna intensely.

"It's an explanation. The reason I can speak Latin so well. My mom has clear sight. When she saw my dad she knew he was a god. She didn't want Neptune or Poseidon. But, the entire god. Never in history has there been a person who was a child o Rome and of Greece. But, if you balance them, you get a demigod who has a power that rivals the gods." Percy finished grimly.

"Meeting dismissed, I need to process this..." Reyna never got to finish.
