Two weeks later…
My homing device was tingling like crazy. The camp had to be near. I looked high and low, but still could not find it. I was near a highway that led to a tunnel, hmm, where would the camp be?
"Surrender, child of Rome!"something hissed. I whirled around to see a terrible sight. The three furies, at the front, 10 hellhounds in the middle and 20 undead at the end, marching forward. At the same moment, I noticed my homing device leading me to the tunnel, I had to get there, fast. So I ran.
"Coward!" I took a brief glance back to see the furies nearing me. I quickly raised my palm and a ray of fire shot out and disintegrated a Furie.
"Sister!"
As I came closer to the tunnel, I noticed a door next to it with two roman guards standing there. Crack! Too Late! One of the Furies' whips struck my left arm and it exploded in pain. Seething, I shot down another Furie with another blast of fire.
"Sister! No!"
The Roman guards finally came to their senses, but they had no bows. One of them threw his pilum, which missed the Furie but struck a skeleton. The skeleton disintegrated but reformed almost instantly. The guards panicked. I shot another blast of fire, but it missed the furie, but it incenerated two hellhounds. By now, I joined the Roman guards and rushed into the cave. What was past it was breathtaking, but there was no time to admire the beauty of a sparkling river and city, with a proud fort sitting on the banks.
We rushed down to the river when a Furie swooped down at me. I shot another blast of fire, but my powers were draining, fast. Right on cue, trumpets started blowing at the fort. Soldiers began filing out of the gates to attack. The monsters were almost on me, I had only one more thing I could do, I summoned fire from both hands and shot them at each other, creating a large fireball, using my last ounce of strength and lobbed the fireball at the monsters, then, naturally, I blacked out.
Dakota's POV
Well, naturally, when it's my turn for guard duty, a huge event occurs. I was chatting with Gwen when an Asian kid about 9 years old was running towards us. Behind him was a huge army of monsters, and naturally, I panicked and threw my pilum at the monsters, it hit one, but it reformed. The kid then starts blasting fire at the monsters, and I'm like ,what? Why don't I have awesome powers? So we ran away from the monsters with the kid shooting fire every so often. We were almost to the Little Tiber, when the monsters caught up. The kid then made a fireball and lobbed it at the monsters, there was an explosion, and I blacked out after falling into the Little Tiber.
Reyna POV
I was discussing things with Samuel, when I heard the lookouts blowing their horns. We quickly armed ourselves and ran to the gate, where there was a legion of monsters chasing after Dakota, Gwen, and possibly a new recruit. Just then, the kid threw a fireball at the monsters. Even from 30 yards away, I was nearly knocked off my feet by the explosion. When the smoke cleared, all the monsters were dust, fires were everywhere, and several people fell into the Tiber, the kid himself, hit his head on the ground, just inches from the river, he was not in Roman territory yet.
Tyler POV
Cold water was splashed on me. I woke up, my clothes hissing as the water instantly dried up. Everyone was staring at me, a whole legion of soldiers, a soldier chattering with a towel around him, and another soldier chattering with a towel around him. A girl and boy in full battle armor strode forward, everyone parted like the red sea for them, it was obvious they were the leaders.
"So, a new recruit, huh?"said the boy.
"I'm Reyna and this is Samuel, we are the praetors of the Tweflth Legion Fulminata, welcome to Camp Jupiter!"
