The Unexpected Life of a Demigod

Chapter 1: The Return

It was a cold evening when the chaos began.

Reyna was relaxing in her living room after a long day of meetings with the senators and centurions of New Rome. She was about to get ready for some rest when the explosion happened.

"What the Hades?!" Reyna yelled, alarmed, she quickly placed her armor and her purple cape which signifies her rank of praetor, the highest in the legion of New Rome. As she swiftly exited her house, she could see the moon shining brightly amidst the cloudless skies.

Then the smell of smoke alerted her, she could see the rising smoke and the color of flames past beyond the city and near the outskirts of where the walls would be. She could see the massive inferno happening yet you could not see anything beyond it. Instinctively, she rushed to the barracks where all 5 cohorts were already gathered and prepared for the defense of their city.

"Centurions!" Reyna called, her voice full of authority. "Any information on what caused the explosion?" she asked.

"None Praetor, border scouts reported that they did not see nor detect anything." The Centurion of the First Cohort answered.

"Very well, I want the First and Second cohort to form with me, we will head there now to figure out what is going on. The Third and Fourth Cohort will remain here as backup to us, the Fifth will proceed to the city as a last defense. Am I clear?" She commanded, already plotting the strategy and contingency plans.

The First and Second Cohorts look excited to finally get some action, meanwhile Dakota, the centurion of the Fifth looked disappointed that they would be the last line of defense yet again.

Reyna noticed his expression but did not comment on it, she had to give credit where it was due and the First and Second cohorts are the finest soldiers the legion had to offer. Even if they have the flaw of impatience and over eagerness to be the best in battle, they did their job well and that was all she needed at this moment.

As they were preparing to head over to the border, another explosion happened in that same area.

"We need to get there NOW!" Reyna yelled, conveying the urgency of the situation.

As she and the two cohorts arrived the fire was strangely already out, and in its place stood a male figure holding a bronze weapon that reflected off the moonlight. Golden dust covered the surrounding grass and you could see the burnt remains of the border wall.

"Drop your weapon and turn around slowly!" Reyna yelled, already in formation with the other two cohorts. Weapons aimed at the unknown figure.

The figure gently dropped his blade and slowly turned around. Standing there was a tall young man in his late teens with unruly black hair and sea green eyes that sparkle under the moonlight.

"P-Percy?" Reyna asked flabbergasted.

"Hi Reyna, long time no see." Said the grinning figure of Percy Jackson.

Hi guys, this is my first fan fic and I'm doing this as some sort of experimentation. I am not exactly the best writer, but I wanted to give this a shot. Chapter 2 will be released within the week as well so be sure to leave a comment as it would be greatly appreciated.
