Hey people! More War prep below... I'll get back to the original story line next chappie!
WAR PREPARATIONS
Reyna
There is always a time when my godly side sees the preparation for war, and gives me an odd satisfaction, despite war's horrors. But as I watched my legion preparre, I could only feel the twisting of my stomach.
The legions were drilling. The fifth cohort was drilling, too, but there was a definite resistance in their unsynchronized movements and their sagging postures.
But it was not them I was thinking of, but the Greeks. Now, the Roman army at war is the most scary thing most soldiers saw before they fell in the oldern days. But I have a feeling that we were going out to meet our match, and that many kids would die before the battle was over. We needed peace, not war, with the threat of Gaia hanging over us like a storm cloud.
We had the advantages of numbers, but they had various other advantages.
For one, their Vulcan cabin kids probably would shoot Greek fire at us, or acid. Maybe even fishnets, which we wouldn't dare do, because of our fear of water. Them on the other hand...
They also had skilled fighters that had there own will. We had excellent fighters, but we had to hope that most of them were not even half as good swordsmen as Percy.
But I watched the drills, saw Octavian flick the trigger every Roman has for battle. And despite my status, I could only stand by and watch.
But I have a plan. And it's almost time.
