Percy's PoV

1783, 1 week after Epilogue

"Frank, should we enlist in the military?" I asked Frank. "yes, let's go to the enlistment office." He answered. "Alright, prepare everything, and then lock the door." After locking the door, we walked to the enlistment office. After walking a few minutes, we arrived at the enlistment office. We waited a few minutes, then, "You two, come here to enlist?" the officer asked. "Yes, we are," I answered. "What's the name?" "Percy Jackson and Frank Zhang." "From Amerique?" "Yes, I am from New York, and he is from Quebec." "You came after the Independence?" "Yes, we just came last week." "Alright, I will list your names, you will enter Ecole Militaire for 1 year, then you will report to the Army." "Alright, thank you, Monsieur." We left the enlistment office immediately after, then return home.

1784, 1 year later

We have just graduated military college. We reports to the army, then joined the French Royal Army. In the college, we met an Italian named Nicholas Di Angelo, called Nico. He is good soldier, can be pretty scary sometimes. The three of us is posted in the city, so we mostly just guards important buildings.

The three of them supported the revolution. When the revolution started, the three of them joined the ranks of the French Republic Army.

Location: Hôtel Des Invalides

Nico, Percy, and Frank is guarding Hôtel Des Invalides, when the revolutionalists starts to crowd in front of the Hôtel. They opened the gate, and joined the mob in raiding the Hôtel, when they realized that the powders have been moved earlier to Bastille. "The powders are in the Bastille! Come!" Percy shouted. The mob quickly took the weapons and marched to Bastille. In front of Bastille, they started demanding for the gates to be opened, the prisoners to be released, and the gunpowders to be released. Percy, realizing that the army might not hesitate to shoot, then takes Frank and Nico to take cover in nearby building. Not long after, the Cannons starts shooting, and the guards is loading their muskets. The other citizens then also takes cover, some died in the middle of the road. Percy then goes to search some help, but soon returns as the Garde Francaise have arrived with 2 cannons. After the powders released, some revolutionists then returns to wherever they lived, with many others joining a revolutionists militia, including Percy, Frank, and Nico.

Baterry "Men Without Fear", near Fort Mulgrave

Percy's PoV

Frank and I am manning a cannon here. Accompanied by occasional close-calls from enemy artillery, we are bombarding Fort Mulgrave, assisting our first wave. Frank and I will charge with the reserve force under Colonel Napoleon Bonaparte, while Nico is already underway, charging with bayonet ready at the Fort. "Charger le Canon!" I loaded the powder and paper and place the cannonball, while Frank rammed. "Déclencher!" I fired the cannon. After a few more shots, Colonel then ordered us to prepare bayonet, load musket, and then we charged. "Vive La France!" we shouted. Lifting my musket, I charged into an unexpecting Private and killed him on the spot with a fatal blow to the heart. Frank stabbed a Sergeant, while Nico is fighting a Lieutenant with the fierceness of a Lion. I killed another one, while Colonel Napoleon is fighting a sergeant...
