Chapter 2

We left early the next day when we heard people shouting nearby. Luckily, Travis and Connor, who were one of the people who thought we were innocent, warned us ahead of time of the camp's plans. They told us that Mr. D hasn't been there due to problems on Olympus, I don't know what, and won't be available for a while and Chiron was on his yearly check up on his family to make sure that they didn't go overboard. That was a surprise, because I didn't think that Chiron actually made yearly trips to his family, let alone made sure they weren't going overboard.

We made our way across the country, and when we tried to stay at Camp Jupiter, Octavian kicked us out. Turns out that he somehow rose to power there, and still didn't trust the Greeks, even after we beat Gaea and saved his butt several times in the process. So, we ended up going to Alaska, the land beyond the gods, along with Jason, Reyna, Leo, and Piper, who were all kicked out as well. We also brought a few demigods that were on the run like us. Turns out, the gods still didn't show as much attention to their children as they said they would. We were able to make camp, which soon turned into a base of operations.

It's been three years since we were kicked out of both camps, and every time we checked up on them, they seemed perfectly happy, so we stopped. We soon grew tired of just training to survive the Alaskan weather, so we decided to make a group of helpers, called the Lost Legion. We decided that the point of this was to send help to the campers in both the camps indirectly so that they'd finish their quests sooner. During these missions, or so we say, we were also able to recruit more into our Legion, and soon it including many species. We recruited people, such as mortals who can see through the mist, demigods who felt abandoned, monsters with no place in the world, and also immortals who were on the verge of fading were recruited by the hopes that they'd get enough followers in the Legion to continue on for a few more millennia. We then realized, through the immortals, that there weren't just the Greek and Roman gods, but gods of other religions as well.

We then expanded our help to not only help the Greco-Roman gods, but other deities as well, such as the Hindus, Mayans, Egyptians, Aztecs, and all others. As such, we had to make bases around the world to support our operations. The Lost Legion soon grew favor and was blessed by every god of almost every religion in the world, almost every. The only religion that does not know of our existence is the very religion that banished us, the Greco-Roman gods. They knew that there was someone, or something, that helped their kids on their quests, but they didn't know whom.

The Fates, seeing our hard work, decided to grant us godhood without the Greco-Roman gods knowing. We accepted, since now we had something to work for and we wanted to make sure that it didn't go to waste. I became the god of the north, earth, water, emotions, and swordsmanship. Annabeth became the goddess of architecture, strategy, east, intelligence, and knowledge. Nico became the god of shadows, darkness, south, and loneliness. Thalia became the goddess of west, thunder, stealth, and camouflage. Jason became the god of lightning and southwest. Leo became the god of fire and southeast. Reyna became the goddess of leadership and northwest. Piper became the goddess of temptation and northeast. The Fates told us that they needed a group of gods for the eight compass directions (North, south, northeast, southeast, that kind) and had us be those gods.

The Fates also had the eight of us go into a deep slumber, leaving our kids in charge until we wake. Yes we had kids. You see, a year after we arrived at Alaska, we got married. I married Annabeth, Thalia married Nico, Jason married Piper, and Reyna married Leo. I know, the last one shocked us all too; who knew that Reyna was a sucker for hopeless romantics.

Anyway, we agreed, and found us a ice cave for our eternal slumber. We took our positions in accordance to our directions, like I took north, Annabeth took east, that kind of thing. Our kids came to watch us go into sleep, and to make sure that no one will be able to find the cave until necessary. The Fates were also specific in how we have to be awakened. They said that Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, and I would awaken in 100 years, while Jason, Piper, Leo, and Reyna would awaken in 50. I guess it has to do with us personifying the four main directions or something. Before we went into slumber, however, the Fates told us that we'd get stronger throughout this slumber, and that once we come out, our individual powers would rival that of Chaos. Hope they know what they're doing, because I sure don't.

Camp Half-Blood No one's POV

Two weeks after Percy and co were banished from the camp, Chiron came back, and asked where they went. Malcolm filled Chiron in on what had happened, and Chiron went to check on the handwriting. He told Malcolm that they didn't find any forging because there was no forging, and that the letter wasn't written by Gaea, as she doesn't use the mortal ways of communicating. Chiron then started organizing search parties for the missing campers and sent out the first five that very day. Later that day, he went to Olympus.

"Yes, Chiron," said Zeus, "What do you need?"

"Lord Zeus," said Chiron, "Pardon my intrusion, but I would like to inform you that your daughter, along with Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson, and Nico Di Angelo, have been banished from camp two days ago."

"WHAT?" bellowed Zeus (A/N made me think of a water buffalo when I wrote that), "And you did nothing to stop them?"

"I'm sorry Lord," said Chiron, "but I was busy making sure the Party Ponies don't get out of line. I just arrived today, and already sent out search parties for them."

Zeus seemed to calm down, by not much, but calmer in comparison, "All right. Now, do you know why the four were kicked out?"

"Apparently," said Chiron, "someone slipped a fake letter in Percy's cabin that made it seem like he was communicating with Gaea, along with Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth."

"Who would do such a thing?" asked Athena, "Those four are one of the most beloved heroes at camp, who would want to ruin their reputation?"

"Lady Athena," said Chiron respectively, "I have the answer for that. You see, as soon as a I found out, I called upon a camper, who admitted to slipping the letters there."

"And who was it?" asked Athena

"It was Hunter Davis," replied Chiron, "Son of Ares."

"ARES!" yelled Zeus, "YOUR SON HAS FORCED US TO LOSE FOUR OF OUR GREATEST HEROES, ONE OF THEM MY DAUGHTER!"

"Father," said Ares, who was obviously scared, "how is it my fault? I don't interfere with my children's lives, rule or no rule."

Zeus calmed down, barely, but still glared at the war god. He then thanked Chiron for telling them, and dismissed him.

Soon, Olympus, Camp Jupiter, and Camp Half-Blood had statues of their heroes. Camp Jupiter soon overthrew Octavian and fed him to the wolves, ridding themselves of their augur, and reclaimed their initial preatorship form of government, and erected a statue of Jason, Leo, Reyna and Piper since the four was there last. Olympus had two statues: one showing Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia in the middle and big enough to be seen from every corner of Olympus; and a smaller one showed Jason, Leo, Reyna, and Piper since the gods didn't want to rule out the heroes that lived in their Roman aspect's camp. Camp Half-Blood also erected a statue of Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia, but also took up a new tradition as well. The Greek Camp started telling stories surrounding these four heroes, as well as erecting a cabin for each of them so that everyone would know who they are, what they did, and how they got there.

Camp Half-Bloods campfire mainly had stories about the Banished Four, as they started calling the group, though, other stories did occur. The gods then declared August 18th, Percy's birthday and the end of the Titan and Giant wars, as a day of mourning, since the Banished Four were never found, neither on, above, nor under the land.

A/N Sorry if there's nothing going on here, this was mainly a filler chapter so that I can get to the real action later on. Peace!
