Konichiwa! How are y'all? It's been a long time since i've updated...i feel so bad...Anyways, here's another chapter! I hope you like it. PLEASE REVIEW!

Jason

"You guys are weak, if you're asking for the help of this many kingdoms" Clarisse scoffed.

Percy shot her an irritated look and Annabeth tried to calm him down.

"We asked this many kingdoms to help us, because Octavian's army is siding with the titans and giants." I defended.

Clarisse grunted, but didn't say anymore on that matter. The problems from the previous discussions were being fixed in this meeting. All the kingdoms that we had asked to participate, agreed to fight on our side. All of them were being affected by the enemy. Crops were being destroyed on Demeter's land. Ships and Automatons were being destroyed in Poseidon's and Hephaestus's kingdom. Villages were being destroyed in all our kingdoms. Our citizens were being slaughtered on our watch. None of us appreciated it. We were all ready to fight back.

"We'll be happy to provide the food to feed the army" said Katie Garner, the representative for Demeter's kingdom.

"We'll be able steal stuff from Octavian's army" Said Travis Stoll, the representative for Hermes's kingdom.

"Things such as weapons and food" Conner, his younger brother, supplied.

"We're also good at cooking up schemes, so we can help the people from Athena's kingdom…if they let us" Luke Castellan, the oldest of the three said. Everyone's eyes shifted towards Annabeth.

"Of course we'll let you! It wouldn't be effective if only people from Athena planned the battle plan. We need everyone's knowledge and input if we want to win."

Travis and Conner grinned, "Thank you Annabeth" they chimed in unison. Luke just smiled.

Annabeth nodded and smiled. Suddenly Clarisse stood up, "The people from my kingdoms are excellent warriors. We have experience with war plans. Also, not everyone knows how to fight. We can teach them. We can help you in that field."

Everyone in the room stared at Clarisse for a second. "What?" She scowled. "If my kingdom's going to participate. We'll make sure that this side wins."

My sister played with her dagger. "The woman from Artemis's kingdom are excellent soldiers. Since, they come from different kingdoms they dabble at different things."

"They'd be happy to help in this war." Said Zoe Nightshade.

Even though my sister is originally from our kingdom, and still has most of the privileges given to the royals. She decided to join Artemis's kingdom. This allows her to live in our castle, but be the representative for another kingdom.

"We can make traps and vehicles" said Charles Beckendorf, Leo's older brother. Leo nodded next to him.

"Our kingdom is more on trade" said Silena Beauregard, Piper's older sister. She turned to Piper and smiled "but, few of us, like my little sister here, can charmspeak."

"What's charmspeak?" Leo asked. I was curious too.

"As I said before, it's a power that a few people from our kingdom receive. When you can charmspeak, you can make people do anything you like. Some of our enemies will have it, because it can be taught to people who are able to use magic..." Silena said.

"So beauty queen can control people's minds and other people will be able to control us from the other side?" Leo asked.

"Yes…" replied Silena.

"Great. Now we have another thing to worry about…" said Leo with a sarcastic voice.

Percy sighed, "No, it's good." He turned towards Silena. "Is there any way to prevent it? To be immune to it?"

"Maybe if you have charmspeak or if you have a strong will, you'll be able to fight it, but it's extremely difficult. The best way is not to hear what they say. This way they can't persuade or order you around." Silena said.

Will Solace the representative for Apollo's kingdom spoke up, "our kingdom has great healers to help out the injured, but that's not the only thing we can do. We can cast rhyming curses on people. If we cast a rhyming curse on those who can charmspeak, their ability will be harder to use. Besides, some words don't have anything to rhyme with."

"We could also drive them into madness" suggested Pollux, one of the representatives from Dionysus's kingdom.

"They wouldn't know what they are talking about" added Castor, Pollux's twin brother.

Piper nodded, "both of those work pretty well."

"Now that those problems have been resolved. Where would you and your kingdoms like to be during the war? Percy, Nico and I have decided where our armies will be placed. It's now you're turn" I stated.

"Which place will the most fighting occur?" Clarisse asked.

"We predict that the enemies' army will split into three parts, when we attack. One third will go to their naval forces. The other two third will split up when we destroy the bridge that will lead them to a passage towards our lands. One group will stay where they are and try to row across, while another will go through another passage. This means all three areas will have an equal amount of bloodshed" explained Annabeth.

"I know that you have chosen your battle areas, but I think that we shouldn't concentrate all our kingdoms in an area. If there are charmspeakers in Jason's area and the Apollo soldiers are in Nico's area, it would be very bad" said Malcolm, Annabeth's brother.

Annabeth's eyes widened, "why hadn't I thought of that" she muttered. "Good idea Malcolm" she commented. Malcolm nodded.

"How about we split up all our kingdoms soldiers into a third? This way we have an equal number of people with different skills to help out in a battle field. The captains of each area will be the leaders who are more used to a certain type of area. For example, Percy is more accustomed to the Sea. He would be one of the leaders for the naval forces" Piper stated.

"Who approves of that?" I asked.

Everyone raised their hand, making the vote unanimous.

"Since you all are the representatives for your kingdoms, I'm assuming that you are going to be the ones participating in the battlefield. I would like you to choose the area you are going to battle in. I understand that some of you have more than one representative for your kingdom. Each of you shall choose individually, since you might be comfortable in different settings" I said.

Percy spoke up, "I'm staying on the naval forces."

"I'll be staying by the canyons" said Nico.

"I'll be staying by the bridge" I stated.

Annabeth spoke up next, "I'm going to be in the naval forces with Percy."

"I'll be by the bridge" Malcolm said.

"I'll be by the canyons" Thalia said.

"I'll be by the naval forces" Travis and Conner said in unison. They then grinned and gave each other a high five.

"I'll be by the canyons" said beckendorf.

"Same" said Silena.

"I'll be by the bridge" Piper said, causing the corners of my mouth to twitch.

"So will I" piped up Leo.

Will spoke next, "I'll be by the naval squad. My brothers weren't be able to make it here today. Lee will be by the canyons, Michael will be by the bridge, and I will be by the naval forces."

"I'll be by the canyons" said Pollux and Castor who grinned, like the Stoll brothers.

"I'll be by the naval forces" said Katie.

"Bridge" Clarisse said.

"Naval forces" Luke said.

I marked where everyone wanted to be on a little piece of parchment. "There will be 7 captains in every location, with the exception of the bridge, which will have only 6" I said, while looking at the chart I had drawn on the tiny slip of parchment.

"If you would like to even out the number of people, I can ask my younger brother Chris to participate in the battle. We can put him by the bridge" Luke said.

I thought about it. It would be good to have at least one of the representatives for Hermes in my area. "If it's no trouble." I said.

Luke nodded, "I'll write him a letter today and send it by tonight. He'll most likely arrive tomorrow."

"That works out perfectly!" I said.

Percy stood up, "I think that concludes our meeting for today, but before you all go, I would like to give an announcement. A few others and I were thinking that we need to prepare for the war physically and strategically, when we are out on the battlefield."

Annabeth stood up next, "we decided that we should have a class tomorrow to help perfect out flaws. Each representative or a group of representatives will teach us a skill that they are masters at. It would be good if we all had some knowledge on these things. For all we know it could save our lives."

Piper was next, "this is very important, especially because we are going to be in the battle. If we aren't prepared we could get killed. We highly urge everyone to come."

Everyone looked at the three speakers with interest. "Every representative will get to teach a skill?" Katie asked. Annabeth nodded.

"We're in" said Travis. He had a mischievous smile on his face. Connor seemed to copy what his brother was doing. Luke nodded, to show that he was coming as well.

"I'll be coming as well" said Leo. His brother nodded next to him.

Slowly everyone else agreed.

Percy smiled and clapped his hands, "well that's all we have for today. We'll see you tomorrow."

I sighed. Percy could be a little more formal sometimes. Still, I liked that he was calm and collected even at a time of crisis. "The meetings over" I declared.

Everyone slowly started leaving. I was relieved that we got many things settled out, but now there was the matter of actually fighting to death. This would be difficult. I walked towards my room, with the thought of the class we were going to have tomorrow. If everyone was going to be teaching one skill tomorrow, it sure would be interesting. I'd have to choose a skill to teach tomorrow, as well. I sighed and opened by door. Maybe I'd think of something later. For now, I was going to relax. I went towards my shelf and picked up a random book. Distractions, at the moment, seemed nice. After all, there weren't going to be many opportunities in the near future.
