Hazel

As soon as she'd gotten off the Argo II, she received many strange looks from the campers of Camp Half-Blood. Some of them looked at Hazel, Frank and Jason warily, some of them were shooting them, the romans suspicious looks, but a few of them muttered under their breath that they were traitors. She sussed that at least Frank and Jason heard this due to their excessive training at the Roman camp, which allowed them to be able to hear the softest of sounds. Suddenly, the centaur Nico was talking to earlier silenced the crowd which were debating among themselves about the so called Roman traitors. The centaur was wearing a Party Ponies T-shirt and he had a bow and quiver slung across his back. Hazel had never seen the Party Ponies before, but Percy had told her and Frank about them during his time at the Roman camp. Percy had said that they were really wild centaurs who threw really wild parties. According the Percy's description, the centaur seemed to fit whatever he said so Hazel didn't seem to think much about the centaur. Until all the campers bowed respectfully to him and managed to keep silent despite their dispute. Wow, Hazel thought. This centaur must be quite respected here, unlike the ones she'd fought before back at the Roman camp. The centaur had kindly eyes but they seemed like a thousand years old. "Hello children, I assume you are from the roman camp, the three of you. And we welcome you to our camp. We will discuss matters inside the big house where we will hold our war council." When he finished talking, a loud babble ensued from the crowd. Suddenly, a tall and slender girl stalked forward. Her skin was perfectly tan and she had a kind of athletic look. She took one look at Hazel and decided that they were not worth looking at and just ignored the whole group entirely. "Chiron," she said smoothly to the centaur, while casting an irritated look at Hazel and gang. "Surely you are not going to allow those traitors the stay with us. Also, how do we know that the rest of them have not also turned against us and work for the Romans?"

Chiron's entire body seemed to sag when heard this, apparently this girl must have been giving him trouble for some time already. Just then, Piper spoke up, " Oh Glen, just do us Chiron says and not give us any trouble." When Piper spoke, Hazel could feel the charm speak in her voice wash over her and felt a strange urge to do as Piper wanted. Her charm speak was getting stronger, Hazel thought to herself while waiting for the apparently snobbish girl, Glen, to reply. As she predicted, Glen replied just as haughtily as before and showed no signs of the charm speak affecting her at all.

" Daughter of Aphrodite, you have no place to speak to me like that, much less use your charm speak on me. Ever since you all offended the Romans, we have been under the threat of war that would happen any time now. But did you guys help? No! You just fled to the Mare Nostrum, and gods know what you did there." She said before turning her back on them and flounced off. All the other campers stood there still waiting for Chiron's order. Already some of them seemed to notice that Percy and Annabeth was missing, and we're whispering among themselves. Chiron also seemed to know to but he shook his head as if saying this was not the time and place to reveal the news. With that, Chrion ordered everyone back to their activities and border patrol. It was only then, the campers reluctantly left, the Demi gods on the quest to stop Gaia still on the top of minds. Once they were gone, Chiron led them to the big house, where their war council convened... around a ping pong table. That was just weird for Hazel, unlike the Romans who had a grand senate room for their debates and discussions, the Greeks only had some cheap accommodation. Once inside, Chiron quickly shut the door, bolted and locked. "Don't worry, this room is sound proof to prevent eavesdropping." he added when he saw Nico's grave face. "Now children tell me what happened, everything inclusive of how Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus."

Frank looked at the centaur in confusion, "How did you know that? We never told anyone about that, only we know."

Chiron looking perplexed now said," Let's just say I had a vision telling me about it. I am not allowed to reveal anything more, I had strict orders and I also swore on the river Styx not reveal them. Things must themselves out, it is never good to mess with fate. Now please tell me what happened from the top."

With that, everyone took turns to say what happened at the roman camp, the problems they encounter and the lost. After hearing what they had to say, Chiron visibly could barely seem to compose himself. "Umm, Chiron, are you okay?" Nico asked with concern. "Okay, I'm okay."Chiron said, droplets of sweat beading his forehead.

"So what are we going to do now? Gaia will rise in about a months time and we need all the forces we can gather to fight against them and that includes the Romans, but they are mad at us, thinking we are traitors and some people like Glen here also share the same thought. A war is inevitable if we don't stop the Romans or reason with them now. The gods are getting schizophrenic and they are forbidden to interfere directly too. And also.." Jason said, pausing uncertainly. He looked around for help and finally his eyes landed on Nico. Tell him, Nico mouthed.

"And.." Chiron prompted.

"And we found the Athena Parthenos. The Romans took it many centuries ago. Bacchus, um Dionysus told us that if the Greeks ever knew, they would never forgive us Romans, so this has to be kept secret." Jason said slowly, unsure how Chiron would take the news.

Chiron's face displayed no emotions and he just said simply,"Where is it now." It was more of a statement then a question.

"On board the Argo II but.." before Jason could continue Chiron cut him of swiftly. "That would be enough for today, I think Nico would be kind enough to show you around? More will be discussed tomorrow. And do not worry, this will be a secret until I see fit to tell the others." On that happy note, he sent everyone outside. Hazel had a suspicion that Chiron was trying to avoid contact with the more hostile Romans at the camp's front door, but , was in no position to barter with them. Hazel started staring at the borders of the camp, staring at the roman flag waving in the wind in the distance. "Guys," she said softly. Despite how loud her surroundings was, she got everyone's attention. She probably

had a weird look on her face for even Nico was looking at her strangely.

"Is there something wrong." Frank asked.

Hazel hesitated before replying, "No nothing's wrong, but I need your help, everyone is vital. I have a plan to stop the Romans!"
