Over the year since his birthday James had started to explain the Roman world to Harry. He had also started teaching Harry more about mythology to prepare him for the monsters he'd have to fight. Harry took in all this new information and studied diligently. He seemed to take it exceptionally well though being from the wizarding world that wasn't very surprising. After all knowing that Magic was real it wasn't much of a stretch to believe that the gods of old could be real as well.

Harry had begun practicing with his toy bow even more. Aiming for farther distances. Although there was the draw back of only being able to shoot the toy arrows so far. He also began running more and doing other exercises.

Before the small family knew it Harry's birthday was approaching once again. When Harry woke up on the 31st he was surprised to find a gift waiting at the foot of his bed. It was a silver and gold bow with a silver quiver full of arrows. The quiver had images of deer on it as well as many scenes of hunts. There was also a note sitting on top of the bow and quiver. Harry grabbed it and looked at the beautiful flowing Latin script before starting to read it.

Dear Harry

I am sorry I could not raise you these past six years but I want you to know that I am proud of the fine young man you are growing into. I have had my handmaidens watch over you from time to time and give me progress reports on your training and learning to this point. This bow and the arrows are my gift to you as you prepare to officially start training in the way of a Roman Legionnaire. The bow resembles the ones I give to my Hunters but with an additional touch just for you. It is enchanted so that it will always be the perfect fit as you grow. The quiver is enchanted to replenish the arrows once you start running low.

Harry smiled as he finished reading the note. He then picked up the bow and quiver and ran towards the family room. "Dad, look I got a gift from mom. Uncle Padfoot, Uncle Moony look." He shouted excitedly. He had also brought the note along to show them as well.

"Well you shouldn't have any trouble with hitting far targets with those pup." Sirius said grinning. James and Remus both nodded, James was currently reading the note.

"Just remember to be careful as those are real arrows and you could hurt yourself." Remus said, ever the voice of logic.

Harry nodded at that. "Can I go practice with them please? I promise I'll be careful." He asked excitedly.

"Yes but remember to stay in the yard. The wards might not even mask your scent well enough anymore so I don't want you venturing out just yet. Not till we're ready to take you to the Wolf House." James said getting a nod from Harry who ran out the back door. Sirius chuckled and followed him outside to keep an eye on him.

Once in the backyard Harry grabbed an arrow and knocked it lining it up to aim at a tree. He picked one of the larger trees that was a good distance away from him. He pulled the string back noticing that there was a good amount of draw weight. However he was still able to fully pull it back. He took a breath and released the arrow watching as it flew. There was a solid resounding thunk as it hit dead center of a knot on the tree. Harry couldn't help but grin, Sirius was surprised that his godson could hit a target that was that far away.

The hunters who were watching over Harry for what was possibly the last time before he left for the camp were impressed. Though any of them could have easily made a shot twice that distance seeing someone so young make that shot was impressive. He was definitely their lady's son. The hunters watched as Harry practiced through out the day and played games with his father and uncles. While they may not have approved of some of Sirius's qualities they had to admit that he was good with their adoptive little brother.

Thankfully it didn't seem like any monsters had found Harry still. Though James and the Hunters had a feeling it was only a matter of time. That's why tomorrow Harry would be going to the Wolf House to formally start his training. Then he would be off to Camp Jupiter to be trained as a member of the legionnaire. James was nervous since he wouldn't get to see his son as often once he reached Camp Jupiter, but at the same time he knew it would be one of the safest places for him.

The day after Harry's birthday the small family made their way to Sonoma Valley, CA where Diana had told James the Wolf House was located. That would be where they would leave Harry for him to be judged and trained by Lupa the Guardian of Rome. Once Lupa was done training Harry he would be sent off to Camp Jupiter. James was uneasy about the fact that Roman demigods had to find their own way, but apparently it had always been how things done. Conquer or Die, the motto of the Wolf Goddess who had raised the twin founders of Rome.

When they arrived at the Wolf House they found a large red furred wolf waiting for them. "I see the child of the Hunt is finally ready to learn the way of the Romans." The wolf goddess said her lips curling into a smile. "You may have a moment to say your farewell to your family. Then we shall begin." Lupa said turning to leave and give them privacy. Only Harry seemed to notice a black dog stalking off after the wolf.

"I have a feeling that Uncle Padfoot is about to learn why you don't play pranks on gods..." Harry said to his dad and Remus. The two were about to ask what he meant until they realized that Sirius wasn't among their group.

"Oh for the love of…. Well hopefully she doesn't do anything too permanent to him." James sighed. He had hoped that Sirius would be smarter then that. But he guessed he really shouldn't be surprised.

Sirius let out a loud yelp as he found himself pinned under the large wolf goddess. She was growling with her fangs very close to his throat. "Try a stunt like that again mortal and you will be lucky to even limp away. This is the only warning you will get." Lupa growled before letting the Grimm up allowing him to make his way back to James and the others.

Sirius changed back to his regular human form once he reached the group. "Really Padfoot, you should have known better." Remus said scolding the other man.

Harry couldn't help but to laugh and then hugged his family. A few farewells were exchanged before Harry started to walk off to where Lupa was waiting. James, Sirius, and Remus took that as their cue to leave, as reluctant as they were. There was nothing more they could do now, it was up to Harry from here on. Though they'd be able to see him on holidays once he reached the camp, as well as seeing him when he went off to Hogwarts.

Harry would find over the next few months that training under Lupa was no easy feat. He could see just why the Romans put so much pride into their accomplishments. With such a fierce guardian it was hard not to be be proud. By the end of his training he felt that he was ready to make his way to the San Francisco Bay area where the camp was located.

"Remember young demigod, aut vincere aut mori." Lupa said to Harry as he placed his bow and quiver over his shoulders along with a rucksack that he'd made from hunting and some supplies he'd gathered.

"Conquer or die." Harry said offering a fond smile to the Wolf goddess. "I'll be sure to make it to the camp safely with what you've taught me. As well as take them by surprise with who my mother is."

Lupa offered her own smile as Harry started off on his journey to the camp. With his natural skills as a marksman and budding hunter she had no doubt he could survive. Still it would not be easy as monsters would be drawn to his scent. Many of them would be especially fierce as his mother in both her forms had killed many monsters as they fell under her domain. Still the young demigod showed promise, as both a legionnaire and a hunter.

A/N: Next chapter Harry should arrive at camp, though not without some trials along the way. He will meet some friends and take the camp, and many gods by surprise. How will the Romans respond to their first hunter, and the first person to take archery more seriously then a child of Apollo? Will Harry take up any other weapon besides the bow?
