Percy's POV
As the Argo II touched down near Thalia's tree, I saw that every camper had gathered around us. I didn't see Chiron or Dionysus though. Once we got off the ship, I asked, "Where's Chiron?"
Nico stepped forward and said, "He went to Olympus just this morning. He didn't say why. Anyways, tell us what happened."
I stared at him, and all the campers. I wondered how they would take the news, because there were so many little kids. The Hades cabin was one. It consisted of just Nico and 10 little kids, all between the ages of 8 and 11. It turned out that Hades had hid all of them in the Lotus Casino. They all loved Nico and often thought of him as a loving father, even though he wasn't.
After a few moments of silence, it was Jason that spoke up. "Camp Jupiter had declared war on us! We will strike back, and we will strike hard. These 2 (he pointed at Frank and Hazel) and I will fight for Greece. We no longer recognize Camp Jupiter as our home,"
There was a moment of silence as everyone tried to process that. Then everyone, every single person cheered and raised their hand in approval. Then Connor Stoll shouted, "Wait! How will we attack the camp? We only have 1 ship and that can't fit everybody."
A grinning Clarisse came forward and said, "My cabin, along with the Hephaestus cabin, have an answer to that."
Reyna and Octavian were in the room where Percy and Reyna talked before Percy went on his quest. Octavian stomped his spear on the ground a said, "They will attack Reyna. I told you the Greek assholes were not to be trusted."
"Octavian, we were the ones that attacked the ship! We have forced war upon ourselves."
"A war that would've happened anyways."
Reyna sighed. "Two praetors gone, along with two campers. This is not going to be a good war. They will strike us first, Octavian. They have warships. The only things we can do is prepare."
"Of course. The Greek strike force will probably not arrive within a week. but we should prepare anyways."
Reyna nodded, her sadness replaced by anger. "If I encounter Percy and Jason, you will let me, and only me, kill them. They must die by my hand." She smiled.
"As you wish Reyna."
