A/N: Anyone who wants to do a story where the characters read 'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes' series is allowed to do so as long as they tell me before hand.

I don't own Percy Jackson series or Naruto series, or any of the characters of either series. Nor am I the writer of the Son of the Huntress series

Warning: Read these stories if you haven't before reading this story:

'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Sea of Monsters'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Titan's Curse'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Battle of the Labyrinth'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Last Olympian'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Staff of Hermes'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Quest for Buford'

I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.

One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.

Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.

Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.

Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.

Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.

Heads up, Sheffinator has posted the reading of fanfiction for The Legacy series called 'Reading of the Legacy of Athena and Hermes'. I have gave them permission and the first chapter is posted.

I started it 'Reading of the Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief as part of my youtube channel of me reading fanfictions and actual books. I can't send the link because of course fanfiction site won't let me, but just look it up under my name Ashleigh Stratmann.


Reyna Comes Clean About Percy's Past

Percy was glad Riptide had returned to his pocket. Judging from Reyna's expression, he thought he might need to defend himself.

She stormed into the principia with her purple cloak billowing, and her greyhounds at her feet. Percy was sitting in one of the praetor chairs that he'd pulled to the visitor's side, which maybe wasn't the proper thing to do. He started to get up.

"Stay seated," Reyna growled. "You leave after lunch. WE have a lot to discuss."

She plunked down her dagger so hard, the jelly bean bowl rattled. Aurum and Argentum took their posts on her left and right and fixed their ruby eyes on Percy.

"What'd I do wrong?" Percy asked. "If it's about the chair-"

"It's not you," Reyna scowled. "I hate senate meetings. When Octavian gets talking-"

Percy nodded. "You're a warrior. Octavian is a talker. Put him in front of the senate, and suddenly he becomes the powerful one."

She narrowed her eyes. "You're smarter than you look."

"Gee, thanks. I hear Octavian might get elected praetor, assuming the camp survives that long."

"Which bring us to the subject of doomsday," Reyna said, "and how you might help prevent it. But before I place the fate of Camp jupiter in your hands, we need to get a few things straight."

She sat down and put the ring on the table-a band of silver etched with a sword and torch design, like Reyna's tattoo.

"Do you know what this is?"

"The sign of your mom," Percy said. "The... uh, war goddess." He tried to remember the name but he didn't want to get it wrong-something like bologna. Or salami?

"Bellona, yes," Reyna scrutinized him carefully. "You don't remember where you saw this ring before? You really don't remember me or my sister, Hylla?"

Percy shook his head. "I'm sorry."

"It would've been four years ago."

"Just before you came to camp."

Reyna frowned. "How did you-?"

"You've got four stripes on your tattoo. Four years."

Reyna looked at her forearm. "Of course. It seems so long ago. I suppose you wouldn't recall me even if you had your memory. I was was just a little girl-one attendant among so many at the spa. But you spoke with my sister, just before you and the other one, Annabeth destroyed our home."

Percy tried to remember. He really did. For some reason, Annabeth and he had visited a spa and decided to destroy it. He couldn't imagine why. Maybe they hadn't liked the deep-tissue massage? Maybe they'd gotten bad manicures?"

"It's a blank," he said. "Since your dogs aren't attacking me, I hope you'll believe me. I'm telling the truth."

Aurum and Argentum snarled. Percy got the feeling they were thinking, Please lie. Please lie.

Reyna tapped the silver ring.

"I believe you're sincere," she said. "But not everyone at camp does. Octavian thinks you're a spy. He thinks you were sent here by Gaea to find our weaknesses and distract us. He believes the old legends about the Greeks."

"Old legends?"

Reyna's hand rested halfway between her dagger and the jelly beans. Percy had a feeling that if she made a sudden move, she wouldn't be grabbing for the candy.

"Some believe the Greek demigods still exist," she said, "heroes who follow the older forms of the gods. There are legends of battles between Roman and Greek heroes in relatively modern times-the American Civil War, for instance. I have no proof of this, and if our Lares know anything, they refuse to say. But Octavian believes the Greeks are still around, plotting our downfall, working with the forces of Gaea. He thinks you are one of them."

"Is that what you believe?""I believe you came somewhere," she said. "You're important and dangerous. Two gods have taken a special interest in you since you arrived. Perhaps you might be the kracken slayer..."

"Kracken slayer?" Percy asked with interest as that sounded familiar

"Something I heard around the spa before you and Annabeth showed up"," Reyna said. "Supposedly a hero took down a kracken that had broken loose near the Sea of monsters. No hero had been able to take it down before and yet this hero manage to do the impossible."

"And you think I was him?" Percy asked.

"It's possible. You showed up at my home right around the time the rumors started," Reyna explained.

Percy tried to rack his brain. The name did sound familiar, but he got the feeling he wasn't this hero.

"Whether you are the Kraken Slayer or not, I think you were sent here to make up for the loss of Jason," Reyna continued.

Jason... Percy couldn't go very far in this camp without hearing that name.

"The way you talked about him..." Percy said. "Were you two a couple?"

Reyna's eyes bored into him-like the eyes of a hungry wolf. Percy had seen enough hungry wolves to know.

"We might have been," Reyna said, "given time. Praetors work closely together. It's common for them to become romantically involved. But Jason was only praetor for a few months before he disappeared. Ever since then, Octavian has been pestering me, agitating for new elections. I resisted. I need a partner in power-but I'd prefer someone like Jason. A warrior, not a schemer."

She waited. Percy realized she was sending him a silent invitation.

His throat went dry. "Oh... you mean...oh."

"I believe the gods sent you to help me." Reyna said. "I don't understand where you come from, any more than I understood it four years ago. But whether or not you are the Kraken Slayer I think your arrival is some sort of repayment. You destroyed my home once. Now you've been sent to save my home. I don't hold a grudge against you for the past, Percy. But my sister hates you still, it's true, but Fate brought me here to Camp Jupiter. I've done well. All I ask is that you work with me for the future. I intend to save this camp."

The metal dogs glared at him, their mouths frozen in snarl mode. Percy found Reyna's eyes a lot harder to meet.

"Look, I'll help," he promised. "But I'm new here. You've got a lot of good people who know tis camp better than I do. If we succeed on this quest, Hazel and Frank will be heroes. You could ask one of them-"

"Please," Reyna said. "No one will follow a child of Pluto. There's something about that girl... rumors about where she came from... No, she won't do. As for Frank Zhang, he has a good heart, but he's hopelessly naive and inexperience. Besides, if the others found out about his family history at this camp-"

"Family history?"

I have considered Yugito instead of you. But after her letting her cat-friend take over her in the senate meeting, the Romans might not be too keen about following her." Reyna said."And I'm sure Octavian is already spreading word about it."

Percy got the feeling Reyna was right. Yugito had told Percy Jinchurikis are normally loners because many fear Jinchurikis back in her home world.

"The point is, Percy, besides Yugito, you are the real power on this quest. You are a seasoned veteran. I've seen what you can do. A son of Neptune wouldn't be my first choice, but if you return successfully from this mission, the legion might be saved. The praetorship will be yours for the taking if not Yugito's. With either one of you I could work with to expand the power of Rome. We could raise an army and find the Doors of Death, crush Gaea's forces once and for all."

By the sound of it, Reyna was hoping more for him than Yugito and not just for a fellow praetor. Percy guess it makes sense as it would be weird with two female praetors working together if it's uncommon for romance to build between praetors.

Percy's feet started tapping on the floor, anxious to run. "Reyna... I'm honored, and all. Seriously. But I've got a girlfriend. ANd I don't want power, or a praetorship."

Percy was afraid he'd make her mad. Instead she just raised her eyebrows.

"A man who turned down power?" she said. "That's not very Roman of you. Just think about it. In four days, I have to make a choice. If we are to fight off an invasion, we must have two strong praetors, I'd prefer you, if not I'll take Yugito so I won't have to work with Octavian, but if you two fail on your quest, or don't come back... well, I'll work with Octavian to save this camp."

Percy realized things must be worse than what Reyna is letting on. Percy remembered Frank said about the monster attacks getting more frequent. "How bad is the situation?"

Reyna's nail dug into the table. "Even the senate doesn't know the whole truth. I"ve asked Octavian not to share his auguries, or we'd have mass panic. He's seen a geat army marching south, more than we can possibly defeat. They're led by a giant-"

"Alcyoneus?"

I don't think so. If he is truly invulnerable in Alaska, he'd be foolish to come here himself. It must be one of his brothers."

"Great," Percy said. "So we've got two giants to worry about."

The praetor nodded. "Lupa and her wolves are trying to slow them down, but this force is too strong even for them. The enemy will be here soon-by the Feast of Fortuna at the very latest."

Percy shuddered. He'd seen Lupa in action. He knew all about the wolf goddess and her pack. If this enemy was too powerful for Lupa, Camp Jupiter didn't stand a chance.

Reyna read his expression. "Yes, it's bad, but not hopeless. If you succeed in bringing back our eagle, if you release Death so we can actually kill our enemies, then we stand a chance. And there's one more possibility..."

Reyna slid the silver ring across the table. "I can't give you much help, but your journey will take you close to Seattle. I'm asking you for a favor, which may also help you. Find my sister Hylla."

"Your sister... the one who hates me?"

"Oh, yes," Reyna agreed. "She would love to kill you. But having Yugito on your team might help you. Hylla respects strong female warriors. If Yugito speak up for you, she might not kill you, and if you show her that ring, she might even help you."

"I'm guessing there's a but?" Percy asked.

"I haven't spoken to her in weeks," Reyna admitted. "She's gone silent. With these armies passing through-but if you can find her she could offer you valuable help. It could mean the difference between success and failure on your quest."

"And you think Yugito might help me convince her to help." Percy said.

Reyna didn't answer, but Percy could see the desperation in her eyes, She was terrified, grasping for anything that could save her camp. No wonder she wanted Percy's help-if not Yugito. She was the only praetor. The defense of the camp rested on her shoulders alone.

Percy took the ring. "I'll find her. Where do I look/ What kind of force does she have?"

"Don't worry. Just go to Seattle. They'll find you."

That didn't sound encouraging, but Percy slipped the ring onto his leather necklace with his beads and his probatio tablet. "Wish me luck."

"Fight well, Percy Jackson," Reyna said. "And thank you."

He could tell the audience was over. Reyna was having trouble holding herself together, keeping up the image of the confident commander. She needed some time by herself.

But at the door of the principia, Percy couldn't resist turning. "How did we destroy your home-that spa where you lived?"

The metal greyhounds growned. Reyna snapped her fingers to silence them.

"You destroyed the power of my mistress," she said. "You freed some prisoners who took revenge on all of us who lived on the island. My sister and I... well, we survived. It was difficult. But in the long run, I think we are better off away from that place."

"Still, I'm sorry," Percy said. "If I hurt you, I'm sorry."

Reyna gazed at him for a long time, as if trying to translate his words. "An apology? Not very Roman at all, Percy Jackson. You'd make an interesting praetor. I hope you think about my offer."


A/N: A reminder that in the Legacy of Athena and Hermes: the Sea of Monsters, Naruto took a raft from Ogygia straight to Polyphemus' island so he didn't get to meet Reyna or Hylla. However Reyna was unknowningly talking about Naruto when she talked about the rumors of a hero called 'the Kracken Slayer'.

However Percy's and Annabeth's time on Circe's Island was mention in the Sea of Monsters after Percy complained how Naruto got a nice trieatment from Calypso while he was turned into a guinea pig.
