Perseus Jackson was born as a son of Neptune instead of a son of Poseidon. Raised by Lupa and her pack for 6 years, he is an unstoppable force for nature against his foes. Brought to Camp Jupiter by Lupa when he was 10, he must fight against Titans and Giants to protect his Family and the 12th Legion and maybe find love along the way.

Chapter 2- The fight and arguing Praetors

Lupa's P.O.V

Jason was the first to attack and Praetor Matthew smiled at that, but Praetor Mahri was watching Percy who swiveled his left leg slightly and dodged Jason's attack, With that she started to smile and said "Simple, but powerful, Young Perseus could have easily attacked as well although with the longer sword, he would have had a smaller chance to hit him."

Matthew spat at the ground and replied "That is true but a Roman would always attack first." Perseus slashed at Jason with his sword, hitting his left arm. Jason realized that he wasn't going to be to win this fight if he did what he had done every other time he had fought Percy because he changed his stance slightly.

Mahri argued with her co-praetor "I think you will find Matt, that Greeks are the ones more likely to jump in and attack first, not us Romans" saying it with a snarl.

Perseus flipped up a piece of bark on the ground that had a strap on it, into his left hand. He grabbed hold of the bark and started using it as a makeshift shield, Jason brought his sword down onto Perseus who blocked it with the bark and slashed at Jason again who just jumped out of the attack in the nick of time.

Mahri and Matthew were arguing behind me and I just growled making them shut up, Mahri muttering "Sorry, mother Lupa" while Matthew didn't say anything. Perseus and Jason were still going at it quite furiously, with Jason getting angrier with every strike that he missed. Finally he managed to slash at Percy and hit, right across his chest.

Perseus grunted as it went across is claw scar that he had received from Fenrir 6 years ago, He rolled backwards and went straight back onto his feet, he stomped his foot and Matthew laughed "Look at that, he got hit, so now he is throwing a temper tantrum!" I growled and he stopped laughing, i said "Watch"

A large tunnel of dirt started to come up from Percy feet and went towards Jason knocking him back into a tree, then Percy ran forward and slashed at Jason, Jason barley blocked with his sword, which created a scraping sound.

Perseus jumped backwards, and walked over to the river, healing the cut that was on his chest. Jason got up and called down thunder and that made Matthew say "Yes, let's see that son on of a pathetic sea god, I mean Neptune do something like that"

Mahri slapped his arm and said "Do remember Matt, He has more cuts on him than Perseus, he had only landed three strikes on Perseus so far, I believe that Perseus will come out on top, even if it will be a close one, is that right Mother Lupa? You know that Perseus is a better fighter and strategist than Jason."

I grinned and said "Smart Girl, you would be correct, Perseus has worked extremely hard but he still knows when to relax, his entire body move like a river, twisting, ever moving, never staying in the same place. While Jason does know how to relax, his pride stops him from ever fully relaxing, he is more rigid, Following a set path, getting to it no matter what, as long as it doesn't move. That is the reason Perseus will win, he will always be able to move out the way, find a new path to victory."

Mahri smiled and nodded while Matthew gritted his teeth saying, "The son of Jupiter will win, you will see!" I changed into my wolf form, my red hair growing out all over my body as I grew and went on all fours, growling I said, "Are you doubting my judgement, Praetor or should Camp Jupiter start looking for a new Praetor" He very quickly said that he wasn't and I turned back around to watch the fight again, The Praetor stepping back slightly.

Jason struck Percy's sword with his own twice causing Percy to curse and drop his sword as he was electrocuted, Before Jason could strike a third time, Percy raised the piece of bark and blocked the attack, the electricity being ineffective against the wood. Mahri whispered "That was smart of Percy, electricity can't travel through wood."

Perseus slammed one foot against the ground, then another, causing the bit of earth beneath Jason to shake, making the son of Jupiter lose his balance. He fell to the ground and his sword went flying into the ground and lost all of the electricity in it. Jason picked himself up and electrified his fists.

He ran towards Perseus and punched at him a few times, getting a couple of hits in on him which pushed Perseus into the ground slightly, Percy was starting to huff slightly and Matthew started to laugh again, "I knew he didn't have it in him!"

Perseus obviously heard him because he closed his eyes, and started to move his hand in a open form, The two praetors and myself were deeply confused by what Perseus was doing but then his sword disappeared and his amulet appeared around his neck again. Then he dropped the make shift shield that was in his left hand and almost immediately after clicked his fingers.

Mahri said with a worried voice "what is Perseus doing?! He's leaving himself defenseless!" Jason obviously realized that too because he start to approach his cousin, that was when I realized what was going on as the mist around the clearing got thicker, While not know to many outside of Children of Trivia, myself, or that old centaur Chiron, this mist could be weaponized.

Usually it could only be used by Trivia and her children but it can be used by select other such as myself, Chiron and Mortals who could see through the mist. I guess it would make sense that since he is the champion of Trivia, that he some of the abilities that a child of Trivia would have. Jason stopped dead in his tracks, looking around as he noticed the mist, suddenly faint images of different monsters and people appeared.

Jason started to get a panicked room on his face, as some of the mist creations started to speak, even with my incredible hearing I couldn't hear what they were hearing so I am going to assume that the words are just in his head. Jason then yelled "Shut UP! Your not actually here! Just Shut up!"

The winds started to pick up as Jason got angrier, The mist was pulled apart and Jason was standing floating slightly, his eyes had lightning coursing through them. However in the time that Jason was being verbally attacked by the mist creations, Perseus had created a tornado of water around himself, he then sent several blasts of water towards Jason, who was pushed back several feet.

Jason allowed the winds to pick up again and send several strong gusts of wind at Perseus, Perseus went pack a couple of feet but was better at standing his ground. mahri just said "I think we have seen enough Mother Lupa, erm, can you get them to stop?"

I sighed and yelled "Enough!" Both Perseus and Jason were still firing the elements at each other but Percy had heard me and stopped sending the water blasts and rolled out of the way, he nodded his head at Jason and then too me. He then realized what Percy was doing because he stopped the winds but he must have thought that it was just a break because he continued to be in a fighting stance.

I growled at him and he finally stood down, his fists going down to his side and changing his sword back into his coin. I turned to face the two Praetors and said with a growl "I will give the two of you 10 minutes to decided weather Perseus and Jason are worthy to join the Legion."

Praetor Matthew started, "Jason, the son of Jupiter should definitely join the legion, he is strong, Hr radiates power and with a bit of practice he could be a great Politician! But that Sea-Spawn, He isn't worthy at all, I highly doubt that any of the cohorts would ever take him anyway, even if we allowed him to take the trial!"

Praetor Mahri replied "I can agree with you Matt about the son of Jupiter, he is powerful. But I certainly do not agree with you about the son of Neptune, Perseus is powerful, he can use the abilities that he received from his father with great control, He also is a great sword fighter, that and he could make the perfect politician if he honed his skills a bit more. I say we take them both because I think that these two could bring in the golden age of the Legion!"

Matthew growled and said "Do you seriously not remember the last relation of Neptune that came to Camp Jupiter in the early 20th century where a decedent of Neptune caused an Earthquake destroying Camp Jupiter and killing hundreds of New Rome's Residents!"

Mahri just sighed and said "Well do you not remember the son of Jupiter from the late 1800's who had a temper tantrum when he wasn't elected as Praetor or the fact that we were leaving Britain as the flame of Olympus had moved to America?"

Matthew blushed bright red and said "Fine, you win, we will allow ...BOTH ...of them to join the legion, Mother Lupa, I shall guide Jason to the trial point and Mahri will Take Perseus to it, we will then make them make it to Camp Jupiter on their own, once they arrive, they will need a reference from a God, Goddess or relative inside New Rome to be allowed to see Octavian the current Augur who will see if there fate belongs in the twelfth legion."

I grinned at him, the best that I could in my wolf form, my silver eyes gleaming "I Hoped you would say that! Matthew would you be so kind to go and take Jason right now, Mahri, tell Percy the good news and tell him that you will be escorting him to the point, but I want to speak to him before the two of you head off"

Both replied "Yes Mother Lupa" both going of to the two children of the big three that they would be escorting. I saw Percy get quite excited while Jason was basically flying. Percy was trying to keep his excitement at bay, at the fact that he had a chance to join the Legion, while Jason knew that he would most likely get the chance, he is still a 10 year old boy who can get excited.

Bianca's P.O.V

A sicking but satisfying crunch came from the nose that my fist was against, the girl who I had punched, had blood pouring down her face. I pulled her up against me with a tight grip on her shirt and said "Don't you DARE touch, hurt or talk to my Little brother again, Never mess with me and don't try anything on Grover either!"

I slammed her back into the locker which I had started pounding her against, My little brother Nico had blood running down his face after the girl and her cronies, had decided it would be a good idea to throw him into the water fountain. She shakily said "And what are you going to do about it Di Angelo!"

Just as I was about to punch her again, Mr Burner wheeled out of his class room and yelled "What is going on out here!" Luckily for me, Grover, the teachers pet stood up for me, he basically bleated out "Bianca was defending me and her brother, Sir, Aimee and her cronies threw Nico into the water Fountain and then took away my crutches and started hitting me with Nico's School Books!"

Mr Burner, in all of his wisdom looked at me and said "Bianca, is this true?" I just nodded my head, my dark brown locks falling down onto my freckled face. "Yes Sir, it is true, I can't stand to see my brother hurt, and I hate Bullies. I was just going to try and scare them but I lost control of my anger and well..." I pointed at Aimee and her Cronies.

Mr Burner sighed and said, "Bianca, Nico, Grover come into my Office, and someone take those messes on the floor to the infirmary!" The three of us followed him into the office and he welled behind his desk. He took the class of his face that really didn't suit him. he had scruffy brown hair with a similar beard. He wore a white short with a horrid tartan jacket, he then wore a blanket over his legs. He may Not look like much, but he was the best...like the absolute best in the school.

Grover had brown curly hair and a small little goatee, He was wearing a green beanie and was wearing jeans with a black T-shirt, Grover had been a good friend since one of my family friends brought me here. Grover however had some sort of disability which means that he couldn't move his legs together that well which is why he has crutches unless it is enchilada day in the cafeteria, then can he run.

My brother Nico had short, shaggy black hair with black eyes that trapped you in once you started to stare at them, he was only 8 but the family friend who dropped us off payed a lot of money to allow Nico to come here with me instead of another school. He had always been pale but since we got here, I had forced him to be out in the sun more,he was also slightly healthier and not as thin as he used to be.

I had long black hair that I kept in a singular braid, I had a flurry of freckles that went across my nose, I wore a simple black T-shirt with a human skull being crushed by a wolf on it, On my finger was skull ring which is the only item that I can ever remember getting from my father.

Mr Burner started at me, then Nico, then Grover, He sighed "Listen Bianca, I can understand why you did it but you need to control your anger better, I will try to stop you from being expelled but I highly doubt that I will be able to do anything because miss Yule's father is the mayor of New York."

I looked down and said "I didn't mean to hurt them so bad, something inside of me just snapped back there, I'm so sorry Mr Burner" He looked down and said "I know Miss Di Angelo but it depends weather the headmaster believes you.

Perseus P.O.V

I looked back towards the clearing where Mother Lupa was, This was going to be the first time that I wouldn't be near her since I was 4. She gave me a small grin before going back into the foliage that led to the wolf house, A tear went down my face which I wiped away before anyone could see it, I couldn't let the Praetor that liked me think that I am weak.

To think that just yesterday, I had become the champion of Trivia which gave me power over the mist, It was actually scary at how much damage you could do mentally with it. I mean Jason was getting seriously freaked out yesterday and it was only the fact that he got angry enough with the messages.

Praetor Mahri said to me "So you know what happens next, Perseus?" I nodded, "Sort of, I know that we have to go through some kind of challenge to get to the camp"

She grinned at me and said "That's correct, when we get to the point, I have to leave you...You must then follow your gut towards the Camp, using the skills you gained form mother Lupa to make sure that you get their in one place. Once you get there, you need a reference and a bunch of other stuff but 'm sure that you will have that from either your Father, Mother Lupa or Lady Trivia"

I nodded at what she said and said to her "Why, does Praetor Matthew hate me so much, he seems to adore Jason, I mean even before Jason and I fought he was glaring at me?"

She sighed staring at me, the sun reflecting off her green eyes, "Matt is one of Octavian's, the current Augurs cronies, at the start of the 20th century Octavian's Great-Grandfather, a grandson of Apollo started to murder people, one of those people was the wife of a decedent of Poseidon who was pregnant with their second child, Lord Neptune ended up feeling his decedents anger and grieve. We don't know whether Lord Neptune caused the Earthquake or if he gave the power to his decedent to do it but there was a massive earthquake that destroyed New Rome, killing Octavian's Great-Grandfather, Their family has hated Neptune and his family ever since then."

A tear drop came out of her eye onto the dry ground below, I said "Are you Okay, Praetor?" saw her wipe another tear away before answering "Great-Great-Uncle was murdered by him but he was never proven guilty. I guess I want justice for his death" I nodded at her, understanding what she meant.

We walked in silence from there on in, Do I wish I could turn back and go back to the wolf house yes, but that is not the way of a Roman, it is not the way of a future solider of the twelfth legion. I started to think back to the conversation that I had with mother Lupa before I left.

-Flashback-

Praetor Mahri was telling me how well I had did in that fight against my cousin, she was really amazed at how much power I had, but also confused about those scars that she could see on my face. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jason leave with the other praetor who seemed to not like me that much.

praetor Mahri noticed as well and said "Eh we will wait a couple more minutes before we start to head off, Lupa wants to talk to you anyway." I nodded and raised my hand making a small battalion of soldiers using the water, I then created another battalion and put them against each other.

About 10 minutes later, Praetor Mahri stood up so I followed her example, allowing my water soldiers to collapse into a puddle. We both walked along to Mother Lupa who was sitting near the exit of the clearing, she looked up from the piece of beef that she was eating and stood up, she said "Praetor Mahri, would you please just wait outside of the clearing?"

Praetor Mahri bowed and said "Of course, Mother Lupa" she walked out and Lupa nudged her head to the side, and started to walk. She transformed into her human form so I started to follow her, we got a good distance away from the exit before Mother Lupa turned to face me and opened up her arms, I ran into them, with my arms wide open.

We hugged and she started to whisper things into my ear, the first thing she said was "It has been an amazing experience to raise you Percy, it has been an honor to to call you my son, actually I don't think I have raised a son better since Remus, not Romulus because of the whole killing Remus thing but still"

I started to cry at that and said "And I couldn't wish for a better mother than you, Why the rest of the demigods that trained under you, call you Mother Lupa because you raised the founders of Rome, I call you mother because that is what you have been to me." And for the first time that I had stayed there, I saw her cry, the first time I would ever see a goddess cry.

She then said "You will make the 12th legion great, not by being the Praetor, but by being the person who gets people to trust them and then using that trust to make change, you shall change Camp Jupiter forever!" I nodded in the hug, not wanting to let go.

I said one last thing to her for this "Mother, I will make you proud, the 12th legion will not know what hit them, like I said, I will make you, My father, and my Patron proud, I shall not fail you", she looked me in the eyes and said "I know you won't it just depends whether Jason catches on or not" I shook my head.

She then just carried on whispering things into my ear and before I knew it, She let me go and had turned back into her wolf form, she started walking back over to the exit. i followed her over and just before we left and I met up with Praetor Mahri again, I said to Mother Lupa "Goodbye for now mother"

-End of flashback-

We were only a couple minutes away from the trial point now and I was getting excited, I had only had a few chances since I received my sword yesterday from my Patron to use it and I really wanted to try it out on some monsters.

It was starting to get quite muddy in this part of the forest so I was able to Jason's and Praetor Matthew's footprints in the mud, There were many more knocked over tree's here than there were at the wolf house.

We reached the end of the pathway and there was a medium sized cabin, with lights on inside, Praetor Mahri said, "Why don't you go in first" I pressed my amulet and my sword 'Justice' came out, appearing in my right hand, I kicked open the door to find a fridge, Some bows and arrows, shields and swords and a singular bed.

Praetor Mahri came in and said "Welcome to the safe-house, If you get injured or feel like you've gone in the wrong direction, follow your path back here and restart. There should be plenty of food in the fridge and plenty of weapons" On the shield wall there was a singular Shield missing while the only spear that they had was also missing.

Praetor Mahri said "pick whatever you want Perseus, the trial begins in 10 minutes." I picked up a shield and walked over to the fridge and took as much food as I could which wasn't much because it seemed that Jason had taken quite a bit when he had been here and before I knew it Praetor Mahri said, "It's time Perseus" I walked out of the cabin and onto a white line where she said, "Best of luck, now, 3...2...1...BEGIN!

A/N Hope you enjoy chapter 2, it didn't stick to my original plan for this chapter but I'm happy with it.

To start with Percy is called Perseus by everyone but Lupa and Jason at the moment, as he goes on a few more people will call him Perseus but not for a while.

I would be very grateful if you reviewed this story to tell me what you think, and what I could do to improve.
