Hey! I am SO Sorry that this chapter is very late, I have a tiny writer's block on how I am planning on Roman Influence into Drake, but I'll try my best.

I've been thinking, maybe starting a one-shot shop, called 'Camp Half-Blood Random Events' and 'War Journal' which consist of Drake's time with Kronos but in Diary Entries. Yay or Nay? Leave a review saying that and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Ajax POV, the next day.

I yawned and stretched my arms out and got out of bed, it was only 7 in the morning, I grabbed my clothing and took a quick shower and got dressed, I got 2 apples. I was reading a book we were reading in class, I had forgot to read the next chapter so I read while I ate. Soon, Drake came slumping in like every morning and gave me a half-hearted wave and a full hearted smile. His hair was a mess, like always as he had small bags under his eyes, he must've not slept well as he started up something I never expected him to touch.

The coffee pot.

"Uh, Drake?" I asked as he looked. "Feeling alright?" I asked concerned. He never had coffee unless he needed it for the day or to wake up. He nodded.

"Yeah, had a bad dream last night, another flashback." Was all he said as I shut up. It was a thing between him and I, 7 o'clock talks about dreams as I smiled. Flashbacks were not to mess with as I finished the first apple, Lizzie came out in her uniform as she poured herself a small cup of coffee.

Okay, something was definitely going on if they BOTH were having coffee.

"What's going on? Both of you having coffee in the same morning, something happened last night." I stated, setting my bookmark in the page and looked at them, worry filled my face.

"Yeah… We think there's a roman camp." Drake said finally as Lizzie nodded, sipping her coffee. "You remember George?"

"Rosy Cheeks?" I asked as they grinned and nodded. "He's a demigod isn't he?"

"Yup. Son of Are- er… Mars in his case." Lizzie said as I rumbled my head a bit. Mars Mars Mars…

"Wait, the patron of Rome? Ares Roman Counter part?" I asked, finally remember the other half mythology part in class. Drake nodded and downed the rest of his cup.

"He had this… Notebook full of student's names and all their personal info such as address, phone numbers, sex, age, and the last part was confusing. It said 'Mortal'. We do not know if he found a demigod yet." Drake admitted. "I don't recall George ever coming back."

"Maybe the Fates wants you to go to George personally?" I asked a bit hopefully. Drake thought. Lizzie scowled.

"I'm surprised George doesn't remember Drake." She huffed. "After all, he had the same aura and power but.." She trailed off.

"He's different now. Different personality and views." I finished for her as it was her turn to look thoughtful. She nodded at the possibility.

"We better get going to school guys, it's quarter past 7." Drake said, just then there was a knock on the door as I answered it, eating my apple. Ashley was there as I smiled at her, my stomach doing a flip when I saw her. For some reason she had that effect on me. Could it be love? But I was still so ..

Toniiiiiiight are yoooooung. I snapped my head towards the source seeing it was Drake alarm.

"Oh Zeus, I thought I tuned that thing off!" He exclaimed and went to his room as Lizzie was having a giggle fit. I laughed as Ashley giggled.

"Hey Ajax, my dad caught the cold, so do you mind if I get a ride with you?" She asked as I nodded. I looked at Lizzie as she nodded. Drake returned, with his face red.

"Sure, we don't mind. You got your stuff?" I asked as she nodded, shrugging to get her bag in a better position.

"Hey Ash, how's Sam doing?" Drake asked as we made our way to his car. Ashley looked in awe of the vehicle.

"Environment friendly and runs on solar energy!" Drake exclaimed. It the first of its kind so far, just a little experiment they offered me. I took it gladly." He exclaimed as Ashley and I climbed in the backseat, being the gentlemen I was, I opened the door for her as she blushed and climbed in, going towards the far end. I saw Drake do this every morning to Lizzie so I figured I need to start now if I was going to get..

No, stop that. I scowled mentally. I wasn't going to live here for years, at least not when I get a car yet. We drove in silence as Drake held Lizzie hand, I saw Drake's sapphire eyes in the rear view mirror.

"So, Ashley, did Sam tell you to get a ride with us?" I asked nervously as she nodded. She held up her bag which looked heavy.

"Yeah, he also said bring his suitcase so the sub could know what we were doing, he was getting down with the Spring Flu as he told me what to do when we have a sub." I nodded. It seemed everyone was getting sick when spring officially came around due to allergies or some got plain sick. (A/N; has that happen to anyone yet? It happened to me, I was miserable and was gonna write but felt no motivations to do so.)

Ashley and I soon got an animated discussion about Greek myths as we laughed and poked jokes once and a while. Drake pulled up in front of the school and Ashley and I got out, waved goodbye and went to the classroom. Ashley took off her bag and groaned a bit.

"Want me to carry that?" I asked her as she looked at my crazy like, but she handed the bag over. Honestly it was a tad heavier then expected. I shouldered her bag and resumed walking with Ashley updated me on Al's condition.

"They say he'll be back next week, he woke up and doesn't have amnesia, but the doctors want him in perfect health in order to go back." Ashley said, smiling.

"Did you catch him up from school?" I asked her as she nodded.

"My dad and I been going there on weekend afternoons when he's well awake so he could do work, he understands it as if he was there." She said fascinated as I laughed. I could since Athena and Apollo agreed on something from that statement, but I didn't tell her. We went into class as Ashley made me stop and open her bag, taking out a briefcase and the bag was insanely lighter. She brought it over to the sub and repeated somewords almost robotly. The sub nodded as the day started. I groaned mentally.

Yay studying…

At recess, I hung out with Elena, Max and Ashley as we were playing catch-n-kick with a soccer ball. We were just talking about random things, like the swans neck was short once, dinosaurs are lame, (which isn't true) Greeks were awesome, (which I agree with) and the works, we even said some stupid things that made others laugh. I liked this place, it made me feel like a kid, with no problems about the demigod world what so ever. The gods must hate the thought, because I spotted a baby griffin flying over head. I groaned mentally.

"Hey, Ajax you alright?" Ashley asked me, looking confused and worry.

"Yeah, Just fine. I'm going to use the restroom, be right back." I told them as I ran, the baby griffin saw me and swooped down, thank the gods I ran in front of the school where no teacher would see me at least. It landed and whined. I got out my dagger. Then I hesitated.

Did it just whine? I asked myself. I kept my dagger up as I slowly made it's way to it. It didn't even reject it, instead, it greeted me and came forward and placed its head in my palm. The feathers of the eagle head fitting into between my finger perfectly, it wasn't a big one either, it was just as big to my chest, it was small. I looked along it as its fur looked like feathers being brushed back, it looked like a golden brown in the sunlight as I slid my dagger away. The griffon cawed sadly as it parents just left it. I knew how it felt, being an orphan. I smiled.

"You're alone, aren't you little guy?" I asked it as it nodded. I smiled at it sadly. I looked up at the sky and smiled, thinking about the pegasi back at camp. They were nice, but a griffin, no one thought of it.

"Hey… Do you need a name?" I asked it. It nodded as it cawed. "How about.. Sun Taleon?" I asked it for its approval. It cawed and nodded again and its lion tail flicked.

"Then it's settled. You are officially Sun Taleon." I said to it as it cawed. I chuckled.

"Crud, can you wait out here for me? Please?" I told it as Sun Taleon nodded. I pointed to a small park in that goes under the school for the teachers, I told it to stay there until I came out front. It nodded and ran into the place and hid. I went back to my friends and I smiled

"Sorry I took so long, ran into a stray dog." I told it as they nodded.

-Line break-

After school when Drake and Lizzie picked Ashley and I up. We dropped Ashley off at the hospital, on her daily visits to Al, we went back to the school as I got out. Drake parked as he and Lizzie followed me.

"C'mon!" I hurried them, I didn't tell them yet and I wasn't sure how they reacted. We reached the opening.

"Sun Taleon! Come on out!" I called, and a few moments later I herd a small caw and some running, it would run intome s I held around its neck as it nestled its head under my chin happily like a dog seeing its owner. I looked at Drake and Lizzie, they both were shocked.

"Is that.. A griffin?" Drake asked, I smiled sheepishly as I nodded.

"Where did you find it?" Lizzie asked.

"It was flying around outback and I followed it to the front of the school." I told them as they nodded. "It's an orphan, so I gave it a name."

"So.. It's your griffin?" Drake asked, as Lizzie looked… confused? Uncomfortable?

"Yeah, per say. I brought you two over so I can your approval." I told them as I blushed. Drake smiled as Lizzie was deep in thought.

"I say let him have it. He doesn't like the pegasi at camp. Maybe a griffin is what he needs." Drake told Lizzie as I smiled at him.

"Yeah, but Drake.. What are we going to feed it? How are we going to have it in our place?" She asked I didn't think that far through, expecting them to say no.

"…Looks like we need a bigger place, a house to be exact." Drake muttered.

"We don't have to move. ST can be a good Griffin inside. Just gotta let him out to fly and all." I tried to persuade them. "Plus, we can always call Annabeth to see if she knows anything."

"Pros out weigh the cons in this, Lizzie. I mean, think about camp as well." Drake said as Lizzie looked thoughtful.

"Alright, but if you don't give him enough attention, we're sending him back." Lizzie said as I cheered and hugged my Griffin. ST cawed excitedly as we all laughed as ST seemed to smile a bit.

"Alright, Ajax, walk your griffin home. Lizzie and I need to go see Annabeth and Percy about the whole griffin as a pet thing." Drake told us and nodded.

I looked at ST as I couldn't help by smile wildly. I told him to follow me, on the ground as I ran as it followed me like a loyal dog.

Best. Pet. Ever.

Seriously hope you like this chapter. For those who don't know what ST is, it's Sun Taleon, just shortened. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and leave a review! If you wish to be part of this, message me and I'll send you the details.
