Percy
As the warship landed in the forum, Percy heard the annoying screams of Terminus.
"Where is their landing ID? They can't just go in to the forum! I bet that warship has tons of weapons on it! We don't want Julius Caesar to happen again!"
As usual, the Romans ignored him.
Frank and Hazel stood next to him and Percy saw Reyna in front of him retying her purple cape signifying a praetor. Percy had a million thoughts racing through his mind, I still feel bad about taking Jason's place as praetor. I'm finally going to see Annabeth! Who are the other two on the quest? But after spending a few days with Reyna, he learned how to dignify himself no matter how worried he was. The warship looked amazing; it was trireme with beautifully decorated oars. Its shape made it perfectly balanced and the sails were positioned perfectly to follow the wind. As he admired the ship, he almost didn't notice four figures step down from the ship.
The first one that came to view was a blonde haired guy around his age. He radiated a sense of power and when Percy saw Reyna step forward, he knew the guy was definitely Jason. Following Jason was a brunette that looked decently pretty with choppy hair and an orange camp half blood shirt. Then a boy with curly black hair that looked like a Latino elf ran playfully ran in to view. And finally, the person Percy wanted to see first, stepped cautiously in to view. Her blonde hair billowed gracefully with the wind and her magnificent gray eyes searched the Roman camp. Annabeth's eyes fixed on Percy's and sent shivers down Percy's spine. She looked beautiful and Percy wanted to run to her, hug her, and never let go but Percy remembered his duty and walked toward Reyna who was staring in to Jason's sky blue eyes.
"Hi, thanks for not shooting us out of the sky or anything. We're from Camp Half-Blood back in New York and I'm Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus or Vulcan, and supreme commander of the Argo II." The boy called Leo introduced, he sounded like he and the Romans were good buddies who haven't seen each other in a long time.
"I'm Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite or Venus." She didn't look like a daughter of Aphrodite because daughters of Aphrodite usually had layers of make up on and sort of reminded Percy of Silena, the old counselor of the Aphrodite cabin.
"And I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena or Minerva." Percy's heart flip-flopped at the sound of her name.
Then all eyes were on Jason who couldn't take his eyes off Reyna. Piper looked a little troubled and she crossed her elbows as she and everyone else waited for Jason's introduction. After a few long awkward moments, Jason shook his head like he was in a trance and turned to the Romans.
"I'm Jason Grace, son of Zeus, but I'm guessing most of you know me already." Jason said and his gaze turned back to Reyna like he was trying to remember a vital and important detail of his past that he couldn't. Percy knew how that felt. Wait, Percy thought, Grace? Isn't that Thalia's last name? Impossible, and Percy shook the thought out of his head to speak.
"Welcome, I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon or Neptune, and praetor of the twelfth region."
Hazel spoke up, "I'm Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto."
Then Frank introduced himself, "I'm Frank Zhang, son of Mars."
"And I'm Reyna, daughter of Bellona, and another praetor of the twelfth region." Reyna exclaimed. "Before I tell my troops to spare you or kill you, I would like to hear your side of the story first."
