Chapter .3.
Percy had called a meeting of his wives to discuss how they would handle the Greek situation. Even though they accepted Greek Legacies. It was just those legacies. Besides from his wives. He also knew that Clarisse, Kayla and Katie were likely to be the hardest hit with this. As they had left the Greek world behind to be with him and for Clarisse to get away from her cheating boyfriend.
His wives come in slowly having come from all of their duties. Each give him a kiss. When Clarisse comes over she studies him.
"What has happened?" she asks
"How can you read me so well?" Percy asks her
"I have know you a long time and your my husband. So spit it out", Clarisse tells him
"Once everyone is here", Percy tells her
Clarisse huffs but takes a seat with the others. Soon everyone had gathered and Reyna had just walked in.
"You look stressed", Calypso says
"You both do", Zoe adds
Percy and Reyna share looks. This WAS causing stress. But this was nothing for what was going to come.
"You all will probably have heard that Lord Mercury visited us today", Percy starts
Zia snorts, "That is an understatement. EVERYONE has heard that Lord Mercury appeared this afternoon"
"Well he had bought grave news. And a request/order from the Gods", Reyna tells them
"So what happened?" Bianca asks concerned
"Camp Half-Bloods borders are constantly being breached. As their barrier seems to be failing. And many people are getting hurt and some are getting killed", Percy tells them
"What does that have to do with us?" Gwen asks
"Well the Gods have decided that Camp Half-Blood is to come join with us", Reyna informs them
Suddenly there was a explosion of voices of protests. Reyna gives Percy a pained look. Percy could feel a headache coming on.
"QUIET!" Percy yells
Everyone quickly quiets down. After all it was rare that Percy raised his voice with them.
"Apollo has foretold that is we don't do this the Greeks would become extinct in just a few decades or maybe less as the Gods are mainly staying Roman thanks to Percy", Reyna tells them
"The Greeks will arrive within one week", Percy adds
"This is going to cause a mess", Zoe comments
"It is. Reyna is handling the accommodations. While I handle the Senate", Percy informs them
"What can we do to help? Your already looking stressed", Leila asks with the others in agreement
This is what Percy loved about his Wives. They saw if another (Mainly him) were stressed and they ALWAYS asked what they could do to help.
"Well besides from the accommodations and the Senate. All the Greeks will have to be sorted into Cohorts", Percy replies
"They won't like that", Kayla comments
"That is the other thing Lord Mercury said. The Greeks need to learn discipline and order. And more combat skills. They don't know how to work as a team and prepare to work by themselves", Percy informs them
Clarisse snorts, "I would agree. I have become better with my skills because I have been here. But the Greeks, they will probably need a reality check"
"Is Lupa going to be told?" Vanessa asks
"Yes she is", Reyna confirms
"That would be fun", Tammy comments knowing how Lupa was.
"Who is doing that?", Vixen asks
"As it is hazards to the persons health who is telling her", Charlotte states.
"As we know how much Lupa hates Chiron and most Greeks. She wouldn't take this well", Yasmin says
"I blackmailed Mercury into doing it", Percy replies with a smirk
That makes the girls laugh. Breaking some of the tension they had since the news of the Greeks coming.
"I would pay to see that conversation", Lexie laughs
Percy shrugs, "She can't kill him. A few bite marks he might get though"
Everyone snickers at that.
"So any other reason why the Greeks are coming here?" Otrera asks
"Because our boundaries are stronger. With Terminus and Percy we are strongly protected from monsters. We have walls around the Camp and then the City so many lines of defence. That the Greeks don't have that", Reyna replies
"So what would you like us too do?" Kayla asks
"I need some help with Accommodations and Cohorts along with supplies", Reyna tells them
"I need some help in the Senate", Percy tells them
"So if we divide ourselves we should be able to get this done", Katie says
"So we divide and conquer", Rafi says calmly.
"So lets split up…"
Camp Half-Blood
It had been seven years since the Camp lost their most powerful demigod, the most powerful demigod of the ages. Percy Jackson. But they gained a new powerful demigod in Jason Grace, son of Zeus well Jupiter. But he just wasn't Percy. Even when they found out Jason was Roman after five years. That had started a large fight and the Camp wanted to march on the Romans but Jason couldn't remember where his camp was. So they just had to live with the knowledge a Roman Camp was out there and probably had Percy.
That had them wondering if Percy remembered them? If he did why hadn't he come back?
Annabeth was frantic thinking about him in the enemy camp. What if they found out he was Greek? Had gone through her mind. But she hoped by them treating Jason good. It would bring them favour with the Roman Camp.
But they didn't even know where they are!
She did know it was all her fault for cheating on him but as long as the camp didn't find out and Percy didn't remember she knew things would be ok.
But Clarisse, Kayla and Katie had also disappeared. About a year after Percy did. And there was also no trace of them anywhere. Everyone just assumed they had been killed.
Now after seven years monsters were constantly attacking camp and the barriers were weakening. It wasn't safe here at Camp any longer.
Apollo had told them through Rachel that they needed to go to Camp Jupiter the Roman Camp. They would be able to help them with shelter, training and learning. They asked how they were meant to get all Camps there. And Apollo just said they would figure it out.
That was when a new demigod named Leo Valdez son of Hephaestus had come up with a ship with the help of the Hecate Cabin they could make enough room for everyone for a short time. He named it the Argo II.
Annabeth didn't like the idea of leaving Camp Half-Blood behind but she had too admit it was too dangerous to stay.
"Annabeth there is a Councillor meeting!" Piper calls
"Coming", Annabeth says to her new Best Friend
She liked Piper she wasn't like the other Aphrodite girls. And the best part was she put Drew in her place. And had changed some of the view on Aphrodite's children.
Annabeth walks into the Big House and nearly all the Cabin Councillors were there. She looked at the Poseidon seat in sadness and determination she would get Percy back soon. And restore him to his rightful place as Camp Leader.
Jason sat in the Zeus seat, Demeter had Miranda, Ares had Sherman, Apollo had Will, Artemis had Thalia (Who had kicked Jason's ass for making her believe him dead), Hephaestus had Leo, Aphrodite had Piper, Hermes had Conner and Travis, Dionysus had Pollux, Hades had Nico, Iris had Butch, Hypnos had Clovis (Who was already asleep), Nemesis had Damien, Nike had Holly and Laurel, Hebe had Paolo Montes, Tyche had Chiara Benvenuti, and Hecate had Lou.
Chiron was at the head of the table ready to start the meeting.
"Councillors Mr Valdez had some news", Chiron announces
"The Argo II is ready to sail!" Leo announces excitedly
"Are you sure?" Piper asks sceptically
"Of course I am!" Leo replies pouting
"Jason what should we expect from Camp Jupiter?" Chiron asks stopping the bickering between Leo and Piper
"Obviously the Legion is the biggest worry. But so is Terminus and maybe Lupa if she is close. But the other problem we have is getting people to listen too us. We just have to hope Reyna is still Praetor she is responsible and can be reasoned with", Jason tells them
"Who is her parent again?" Nico asks
"Bellona. Roman Goddess of War and Destruction", Jason replies
"I can't wait to fight her", Sherman comments smirking with eagerness in his voice.
"Don't test her Sherman. She didn't get the job as Praetor for nothing", Jason warns
"We will see", Sherman replies smirking
Jason sighs that will go done so well. He hoped Reyna was in a good mood.
"What should we expect at the worse?" Thalia asks
"Well the Legion could attack us outright and Reyna not being Praetor. If she was replaced by the Auger then we are in deep trouble", Jason replies remembering Octavian
"Auger?" Chiara asks
"Oracle", Jason replies, "Like Rachel"
"Is he that bad?" Piper asks
"Worse", Jason replies simply, "He is basically the definition of a corrupt politician"
"Where do you think Percy would be?" Annabeth asks
Everyone looked curiously at Jason for that answer.
"If he is there he would be in one of the Cohorts. I can't tell you which one as it his decided by the right connections mainly. Since Percy didn't have anyone vouching for him. And him being a Son of Neptune I mean Poseidon. I would say he is in the 5th Cohort the lowest Cohort", Jason replies
"What is so bad about the 5th Cohort?" Piper asks
"What is so bad about him being a son of Poseidon?" Nico asks frowning.
"The Fifth Cohort has the worst luck. And it basically is for those people that bullies call 'losers' and as for being a son of Poseidon. His last son nearly destroyed New Rome", Jason replies
"Percy is not a loser!" Annabeth replies hotly.
"And not like that!" Thalia replies feeling angry.
Jason raises his hands in a calm stance.
"I never said he was. I was in the 5th Cohort and I made Praetor. So he will be fine", Jason replies calming her down.
"I can't wait to see my best friend again", Grover comments, "Hopefully he will be ok"
"Yeh if Hera has given him back his memories", Thalia mutters
"And if the Romans haven't killed him for being a Greek", Nico mutters
"We will start packing up. We leave for California in one week. After we have packed and have a solid plan", Chiron decides
"Please Chiron can't we go sooner", Annabeth begs
"No child. We must be careful. I know your anxious to find Percy but we must excise caution", Chiron replies seriously
"Alright", Annabeth sighs
All she wanted was to see Percy. And hopefully he wouldn't remember her indiscretion. And hopefully he would he happy to see her…
New Rome…Camp Jupiter
Percy had a headache he had been arguing with the Senate for the past few days. Yasmin, Vixen, Soliei and Liberty some of his wives have been with him.
But the Senate hated the fact that the Greeks were on their way. But they really couldn't argue with the Gods and HIM.
His beloved Reyna had sorted out a Camp for them on one side of the Field of Mars. And was getting a rough idea about splitting the Greeks between the 9 Cohorts, Air Force, Guardian, Spy, Diplomatic, Calvary and Archer Corps. As the Greeks didn't have as many as they did Percy and Reyna knew it should work out well.
Lupa had been angry to say the least. Percy and Reyna watched gleefully as Mercury was chased by a livid Lupa and her pack. That was definably worth the blackmail on him. Lupa told Percy and Reyna she wasn't looking forward to seeing Chiron again. Apparently he was too soft on his students for her taste. Which Percy had to agree on.
He made it back to his house to get something for his headache and relax for his next bout of fighting with the senate. He wheeled himself into his living room to see Reyna, Forest, Katie, Kayla, Adelaide, Eurasia and Jodi had papers on the table.
"Took your work out of the office?" Percy asks his gorgeous wives
The girls snort.
Reyna snorts, "We wanted some relaxation", she says gesturing to the wine glasses they each had in front of them.
"Dakota's brew?" Percy asks slipping his chair near the couch.
He then manoeuvres himself onto the couch and sighs in relief. Reyna and the others look at him. They could see he was in pain and he looked overworked.
"Yes. We needed it. Do you want a glass?" Reyna asks, she was already pouring another glass of wine.
"Yes please. The Senate is still in an uproar", Percy reports taking the glass of wine and kissing Reyna on the lips
"Octavian?" Reyna asks
"Throwing a number 8 temper tantrum on our temper tantrum scale", Percy replies drily taking a sip of wine
Forest, Katie, Kayla, Adelaide, Eurasia and Jodi snicker at that.
Reyna snorts, "When should we expect the 10 on the scale?"
"A couple of days. He will do or say something stupid and I once again have to knock him down a couple of pegs", Percy replies knowingly taking any sip of wine with a sigh.
"He will never learn", Reyna mutters going back to her papers
"Nup", Percy agrees
He looks at the papers she had in front of her. It looked like the Cohort numbers and training plans.
"How is the paperwork for this mess coming?" Percy asks
"We think we might have a solution to the numbers to get into each Cohort", Eurasia replies
"How many?" Percy asks having thought about it too.
"6 – 10 Demigods added to each of the 9 Cohorts", Adelaide replies
"That would work. What about the 1st? I don't think they will be responsible", Percy tells them
"We know", Jodi groans
"But we want the Cohorts near even. If Octavian gets partially obnoxious you can deal with him in the arena", Reyna adds
"What a joy", Percy says sarcastically, "I am going to do that in a maximum four days. That is a stretch for him. That's how long I give him too he goes to a scale 10 temper tantrum"
"I don't know why he keeps humiliating himself", Reyna replies
"He is THAT stupid. Why did Apollo pick him as a Auger again?" Percy asks
"He inherited the position. Lord Apollo didn't have a choice. You should know as he complains about him constant too you when he visits", Reyna replies taking a sip of wine
"How could I forget? It is like Bacchus complaining about not getting wine", Percy replies, "But that is enjoyable since he is still an ass", Percy adds smirking
"Agreed", Reyna replies nodding
"More enjoyable when beating him at poker and he goes off to sulk", Percy adds drinking some wine
"When do you play poker again with the Gods?" Forest asks
"A few days. I am glad for it. I will need to unwind. With Camp Half-Blood arriving in just days", Percy replies
Percy liked the friendly games of poker he gets to have with some of the Gods. His father, Reyna, Bacchus, Mercury, Apollo, Mars, Bellona, Minerva and sometimes Diana, Jupiter and Pluto. As Diana loved taking her brothers money. Sometimes Demigods joined in Dakota, Michael, Frank, Pranjal and Hazel. Sometimes his other wives joined in too. And if they were in the mood for payback they invited Octavian who was crap at Poker but he had too much pride and wanted things out of the Gods too turn down an offer by the Gods.
"Would you invite Octavian?" Reyna teases
"Ha, ha very funny. Not this time. I want to relax. As it is the Greeks might join in", Percy replies making a face
"How are you coping with this?" Reyna asks putting her paperwork aside and giving him her pull attention.
The others stop what they are doing too turning their attention to their husband.
Percy sighs, "As well as I can be. Seeing them again. Well her again will be painful. But seeing my cousins I will look forward too unless they kill me for disappearing"
"And what about the other issue?" Katie asks gently
"I AM worried they won't see me as a warrior anymore. BUT I know I don't need their opinions on my physical condition to fight. Any of them who says otherwise will face me in the arena. After Octavian", Percy replies smiling at Katie then pecking her lips with a kiss.
"That's want we want to hear", Reyna replies kissing him too.
"How are you coping with the little issue that might come?" Percy asks softly
"Jason Grace is not my problem anymore. You're the love of my life and he is nothing compared too you. And if he has a problem with that I will be the one facing him in the arena", Reyna replies firmly
"What about Leadership?" Percy asks
"He has no rights as Praetor anymore. Or a Centurion. So he is just another Legionnaire", Reyna replies firmly
"Wow a two rank demotion. Ouch that will hurt", Percy replies
Reyna shrugs, "He didn't come back to Rome after the first year. He MUST have his memory back to be leading the Greeks here. So as far as I am concerned he resigned his commission. He is lucky I don't put him on Probatio. But if he complains I WILL do that"
"That will hurt his ego", Forest mutters
Percy chuckles, "That is far. My Lioness showing her claws"
"How would you like to feel those claws?" Reyna purrs
"I like the way you think"
"Let us join too"
