Chapter 14: the battle for the glory part 1
After the meeting between the Olympians and the demigods Zeus ordered Ares and Hermes to send both Roman and Greek demigods back to camp Half blood. At first the Romans, namely Octavian and his lackeys tried to argue saying it is an enemy's territory and they can be betrayed or worst slaughtered in their sleep by the Greeks which was openly denied by the Greeks and countered by saying they were the ones who should be worried, not the other way around. The argument then grew on which irritated the king of the gods and prompted him to silence everyone with his loud thundering voice shouting SILENCE, which effectively scared every demigod around the arena.
As the demigods wisely shut their mouths, Athena then begun to explain the reason why both camps should stay at Camp Half-Blood. Athena told the demigods that if the giants wanted to fully destroy the Olympians then they would surely target Olympus which was now based on the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, which was the closest place to the halls of the Gods. Also, she pointed out that the safest place where they can rest without worrying about being attached by the monsters is Camp Half-Blood. After Athena voiced her explanation, the demigods grudgingly nodded their understanding and approval.
Camp half blood
Third person's POV
Ares and Hermes had teleported the demigods to Camp Half-Blood and ordered Chiron and Lupa to take care of all the demigods and ensure that both camp would not start a chaotic battle to spite each other. And since the Olympians revealed their true plan Mr. D was now again ask to return to camp as the director, which brought back the sour mood of the God of wine.
The Romans were asked by Chiron if they wanted to sleep in their parent's cabin which they declined and instead, they decided to sleep in tents that were given to them by Lupa. The night had gone peacefully, but on the next day the same thought cannot be said.
At the dining pavilion, all the demigods were eating their breakfast. The Greeks were still on their same old routine seated on their respected parent's table, while the Romans were seated at the new tables placed for them. No one had bad mouthed or said anything to the other camp but the death glares that both camp sent to each other could not be denied or go unnoticed.
Chiron and Lupa glanced at each other then back to the demigods and they both frowned and shook their heads, even though both camps never said a word to one another, they knew that a fight would be starting soon.
After breakfast, Chiron and Lupa instructed the demigods to train and that's when the fight started to break out.
Annabeth and Clarisse were the one's assigned to train the Greek demigods on sword and spear technique. When Annabeth began to teach and show a new technique to the Greek campers, the Roman campers just watched them silently. Even though they hated the Greeks, they still respected Annabeth. After all, she had helped them on their fight with the Monsters and the Giant Polybotes. Through the eyes of the Roman campers Annabeth was still worthy of their respect even though she's a Greek demigod.
When Annabeth finished her demonstration to the Greek campers, she instructed them to pair up and try the moves that she had showed. This is where all hell broke loose, Lacy a demigod daughter of Aphrodite accidentally stumbled and fell face flat on the floor, which caused her half-brother Mitchell, a Son of Aphrodite to run in her direction to help the young girl up. He stopped short when Octavian try to stifle a laugh but failed miserably which causes Mitchell, Piper, Annabeth and all the Greek Demigods to glared daggers at him, some of the Romans were also glaring at Octavian for his behavior namely Jason, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, and Dakota.
Octavian trying to contain his laughter then said "How pathetic is that? Tripping on a simple stance?" which causes Octavian's lackeys to laugh with him.
Reyna stepped forward and growled "Octavian, stop she tripped, so what? It happens to the best of us."
Octavian then asked "Why should I?"
Reyna then said "Because you were humiliating her"
Octavian then said "Well that was the main reason why I'm doing this! To humiliate her! Can't you see Reyna? They are weak, how can they help us on the battlefield if in a simple training session like this will make them trip"
Reyna opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Annabeth who said "Don't judge the whole camp on a simple mistake of one Octavian"
Octavian turned his gaze towards Annabeth and sneered "Oh the great daughter of Minerva comes to the rescue eh?" Annabeth glared hard at him. Octavian smirked then continued "Well maybe you were right Annabeth that I can't judge every one of you by a simple mistake made by her" Octavian pointed his finger towards Lacy then continued "but as you see I had been watching her from the very beginning and I must say that from the looks of all your campers, they all suck!"
Reyna took a step forward, blocking Annabeth's view of Octavian, she turned around and faced Octavian "Stop this now Octavian" Octavian just laugh then said "Are you siding with the Greeks now Praetor Reyna? Hm?"
Reyna snarled at him. "I'm not siding with them I'm just trying to keep the peace between camps." Octavian snorted "Really? Is that all your intention? Or are you just doing this because of Jason?"
Reyna raised any eyebrow "What do you mean by that?" Octavian chuckled "What I mean is that are you really just trying to prevent a fight between two camps, or are you doing this because you're just siding with Jason? Jason who should be now considered a traitor because he's now one of them! One of the Greeks! "
Reyna frowned, clearly displeased. "I'm doing this because this is the right thing to do Octavian! What about you? What would you get from doing this?"
Octavian then said "Me? Unlike you I'm just being loyal to my blood! To my ancestors, to the Romans!" Octavian's supporters yelled their agreement while Reyna shook her head in disappointment.
Annabeth then said "If you really are that strong and brave then let's fight! No more of your speeches Octavian, show us how strong you are in the battle field, show us what you really have that makes you think you are superior over the Greeks"
Octavian turned his gaze at Annabeth, his eyes narrowing "You Greeks are nothing but traitors! Why should I accept this pointless battle that you're offering?"
Annabeth then said "Because this battle will determine who's really the superior one! It will determine who really should hold the Glory"
An that's all for now folks and sorry to disappoint some of you if the chapter is short but don't worry the second part is currently on process and by the way my update will still be unpredictable but I promise that I'll try to find time especially now that I can move my left hand although it still cemented but it was kind of big weight lifted on my body I almost thought that I can never move it again.
And also this chapter cannot be done without the help of PaleRider365, so thank you very much PaleRider365
That's all for now see you next chapter
Sincerely yours
