Chapter 4- Welcome To Camp Jupiter, New Recruits!

Perseus's P.O.V

My eyes slowly opened to bright white lights, brighter than what I was used to. I managed to get a groan out and closed my eyes again. allowing darkness to come over me once again. I would open them again.

From the darkness I fell asleep into the realm of nightmares. I was on a beach with the ocean next to me, In front of me was a Horse and a Eagle attacking each other, the ocean was thrashing about and there was thunder in the sky.

The Horse represented my father and the Eagle represented Lord Jupiter, but why would they be fighting unless it was them in there Greek forms. At the other side of the two 'Animals' Was a Girl about my age, screaming something at the animals not that they were paying attention.

She looked familiar, she had black hair that was tied in a ponytail and black eyes, she had freckles across her nose and looked quite pretty if I was being honest. I was about to try and cross over to her when I bolted up.

I was still in this unfamiliar place that I had been in before, the white light was off so I was able to let eyes clear this time without being blinded blinded by the light, I looked around and saw that i was in a room with various other people, next to me was my blond haired cousin who was still asleep, a Horn next to him -the horn that I had broken off- A small car was on his left arm.

I looked at my leg and saw that there was bandages wrapped around it and then I raised the T-shirt I was wearing to show that I had bandages around my waist. Then a women came rushing over to me and said "Careful there buddy, don't move to quickly" I looked at and saw that she was wearing a Purple T-shirt with Camp Jupiter on it.

She placed her hand on my shoulder and gave me a glass of water which was on my bedside table, I instantly felt like I had more energy. She sat at the end of my bed and said "My name is Catherine, I'm a daughter of Apollo. Your at the infirmary of Camp Jupiter and New Rome."

I nodded slowly and tried to turn twist to the other side of the bed but I was struck by a mass amount of pain within my ribs. She said to me "Buddy, You were quite badly injured, try not to move for a whole" I nodded slowly at her.

She looked at me and said "Before I say anything else, can I ask what your name and parentage is? I know you know about this life because you were found using a Imperial gold sword".

I manged to groan and get out, "My name is Perseus Jackson, I'm a son of Neptune." She nodded and brought over this golden looking drinking and some sort of golden thing in a breakfast bar wrapper.

On the wrapper it said 'Ambrosia' and said in large writing "Do not eat any more that a single bar in case of DEATH! More than 1 bar will kill you!" So it was the food of the gods that Lupa had told me about and then there was the golden drink that I can assume was 'Nectar' the drink of the Gods.

She Gave me the bar and I eat it, it was rather small but what it tasted like was amazing and made me want more of it, she looked at me and asked me "What did it taste like?" I felt a bit more regenerated from it and the pain in my ribs and wrist felt much better. I replied to her "It tastes like some chocolate-chip cookies that my Birth mother made for me when I was 4"

She smiled and gave me the drink and it was amazing although it was also in a very small dose, I said "That tasted like the sweetest Apple's I have ever had" she grinned and said "Ambrosia and Nectar, the food and drink of the Gods, they taste like your favorite Food or Drink". I took another sip of water from the glass that she was still holding.

She then got a folder that was next to my bed, she scribbled my name on it then opened it up and looked at the paper, "So Perseus, you have been asleep for about 5 days, you were found shortly after your battle with Minotaur. You had a couple of broken ribs, a broken Wrist and a broken Leg."

My eyes widened, I knew I had broken my wrist and injured my ribs but I must of broken my leg when I hit the wall after Jason killed the beast. She looked at me and said "The Guards who were on duty at the time who tried to help you told me that you placed your sword in it's head letting your friend kill take the final blow, that's good teamwork and honestly I think you deserve the horn for being brave enough to clamber on him but Octavian thinks the other guy should have it"

I nodded and looked at the horn, at least Jason hadn't just claimed all the honor of killing the beast, the Woman said "Praetor Mahri is very impressed with you and your friend, she wants to meet up with you when you get out, but that won't be for another couple of days because I want your leg and wrist to heal completely." I nodded slowly.

I then asked her "What about my cousin? has he woken up?" She shook her head and said "No, even though you were injured more severely that your cousin, it seems that the water that we gave you while you slept has healed you in half the time it would otherwise, your cousin will probably be out for another 5 days or so. You would have taken about another 7 days otherwise."

I nodded slowly and thanked her for the help, I then lied down again and she took my glass of water away again, going to refill it with some fresher water. Although by the time she had gotten back I was closing my eyes again not because I was tired but because I wanted to pass the time.

It was a couple of hours later when finally decided to open my eyes again and saw that there were a couple of books, and a couple of magazines. I grabbed one magazine which was actually a pamphlet titled a "A guide to Camp Jupiter and New Rome for New Demigods and legacies."

I looked at it and found where the bathes were in Camp Jupiter and the living quarters along with the food court. I then looked at New Rome which seemed like an amazing place to live when I'm older if I survived that long it is.

I looked at all of the temples that they had and saw one for every Olympian and Pluto apart from my father, I was broken from my reading by the daughter of Apollo Catherine.

She had some food and small flame with her, she said "This is your dinner, it may seem very large but you need to burn some of your food to the gods, At least to Mars, Jupiter and your Father." I nodded and slowly and cut parts of my meat and Veg off and cast them off into the flames saying mars, Jupiter and Neptune.

The flames glowed green with each bit of food. I then had some Gammon, mash, peas and gravy left over. I thanked Catherine for them and dug into my food, hungry because I haven't eaten anything all day and probably haven't eaten anything proper while I was out cold.

Bianca's P.O.V - 4 Days before Perseus woke up

My blood froze as my math teacher Spoke up, she had it in for me I'm sure for it! She spoke in her old gravely voice "Miss Di Angelo! A word please!" I turned around as slowly as possible, hoping to avoid this encounter, with this old woman.

I walked up to her and took a breath asking her, "What can I do for you Mrs Dodds?" the old witch replied with her voice sounding like chalk being written on a blackboard, "I've got my eyes on you Miss Di Angelo, why were you out past curfew last night."

I gulped and took a large breath. Of course she had know that I was out of Bed last night. I replied slowly "Grover came to get me because Mr Burner needed to talk to me about something."

She glared at me which made my shuffle about and said "Fine, you may go, but if I catch you out of Bed once more without a pass after curfew then I will get you." I nodded at her and ran out of the door -wanting to get as far away from her as possible and to get to Mr Burner's class.

I went straight to my locker and Got out the books for Mr Burner's class, hoping that Mrs Dodds wasn't following me and that I wouldn't run into Aimee or her Cronies Nichole and Kya. Luckily they were already making there way to there next class so they ignored me, even they don't want to be late to class.

I grabbed my books but unfortunately as I got Mr Burner's class I ran into Nancy Boffiet, luckily Grover who she caused the most problems with was already in the class and was behind her in the class so she couldn't turn around to annoy him.

Nico was already at a desk and looked ready to learn, this was the only class that we shared together and he was fantastic at it, managing to keep up with the rest of the class even though he never took it in the first place anyway.

I sat down next to him and Mr Burner wheeled in from his office behind the class, He rolled over to the Whiteboard and wrote "Exam results, what most failed at and what you can do to improve". Mr Burner started immediately with his speech stating "I am disappointed with many of you, only 3 people in this class got over 1/2 marks which is shocking seeing as there only 12 marks and it was a simple quiz."

He picked up a stack of papers on his desk and then asked Nico to help him hand them out. Nico took half of the papers and started passing them out as quick as possible. Mr Burner rolled up to me and gave me my paper with a large A on it despite my messy handwriting.

I looked at the paper and saw that the only answer that I got wrong was that I put Hades instead of Poseidon. I understood my mistake but I didn't understand why Hades who was the Oldest brother wan't one of the Olympians.

Grover would have gotten top marks if he had taken the test but he is taking a higher level of course than the rest of us, but I'm glad that I have gotten the top of class in one subject, then again I've got top marks in every test for this subject.

Professor Burner handed the rest out and went back to the front of the class, "You have been learning this subject for the entire year and yet still almost none of you can name more than 6."

I looked at the paper and tuned out of the discussion because it didn't imply me, I had gotten 11/12 I was doing good, I couldn't wait for that trip in two weeks!.

Perseus P.O.V -3 days after Perseus Woke up

I put proper pressure on my feet for the first time since I woke up 3 days ago and the first proper time since the Minotaur, of course I had gotten up to use the toilet and to shower but Catherine made sure to help me about until today where she was going to release me.

She told me that Jason would wake up in a couple of days and would be on best rest for another few days as well. Before I left with Catherine to go and see Praetor Mahri.

Myself and Catherine walked in silence for about 5 minutes as we slowly made our way across to New Rome where we were meeting up with praetor Mahri. That's when Catherine finally decided to speak up, "I'm sure you remember the previous praetor Matthew?" I nodded remembering when he came to the Wolf House.

She spoke shaking her head "He ended up being killed shortly after he left Jason at the trial point" He hated me but even then I never wanted to see him dead, "Do they know how?" she shook her head and said "No, It's only assumed he's dead because he didn't report back at all, not even a message. If you don't send a message when your just going to the wolf house then something is seriously wrong."

I just nodded slowly and we went back to walking in silence. After a couple more minutes we reached Now Rome where there was a giant stone statue. Mother Lupa had told me about him, it was actually a god and not a statue, he protected New Rome and made sure that no weapons entered.

His name was Terminus, I picked up my amulet off of my neck and was about to walk through the border when the statue came to life, "WHAT ARE YOU DONG BRINGING A WEAPON INTO NEW ROME" I winced as he nearly burst my ear drums.

I bowed to him and said "Sorry, Lord Terminus, I'm new here, I didn't realize." I was about to give him my amulet to him when I noticed that he didn't have any hands -or arms for a matter of fact. I was in the middle of saying to him "My lord, where are your..." when I was elbowed in the ribs by Catherine who nodded towards a young girl with a tray.

I dropped it on to it, knowing that as soon as I got a certain distance away from it, Justice would return to my neck and I would have my weapon back again. Catherine dropped off two daggers that she had hanging from her belt that she tried to claim were 'medical Knives' but Terminus wasn't listening.

We entered New Rome and walked around a bit to pass time before our meeting with praetor Mahri at 1. In the end Catherine ended up getting fed up with walking in silence and decided to just take me straight to Praetor Mahri's office, she got me a hot chocolate and told me that the meeting was in about 25 minutes.

A few minutes after she left I felt my amulet appear back around my neck, I took it off and started twirling it about in my fingers, I'm so glad that my patron Lady Trivia gave this to me, It was the perfect weapon for me.

I lost track of time until I heard the door open in front of me and Praetor Mahri stepped out and said "Perseus?" I stood up and walked over to her and knelt down in front of her, she told me told me "Rise Perseus" I nodded and got up of my knees.

She invited me into her office where there was a crackling fire, she made sure I sat down first before making sure that she sat down. She adjusted her mug lightly and said "So Perseus where was Medic Catherine?" I looked out the small window that she had and said to her "She said that she wanted to get back to the infirmary to see if my cousin Jason woke up."

She sighed and took a long sip of her drink. She placed the mug back down with a bang and said "I will have to have a word with her about that, I told her not to leave you until I came out for you." I looked at her and said "Why?" she looked down, closing her eyes she replied "You are currently in danger until the senate and the Augur see your strength."

I nodded and asked her, "Is it because of my parentage" she nodded and took a sip of her juice and told me to tell her all about the trial and everything that happened. She just nodded as I finished telling her and she said "Well that's good, now luckily you have gotten a reference from Lady Trivia".

She then picked up the reference and said "Now off to see Octavian, The Camp's Augur" I stood up shortly after she said that and followed her, we walked through New Rome and she pointed out various places for me to go to in my spare time including cafe's, youth clubs, the library and some other places.

We left New Rome and started our way up to temple hill where all the shrines to the gods were, apart from a shrine to my father who was treated like dirt in Roman society. The walk was short and realizing and I saw a small lake on the way which I would love to go swimming sometime.

We reached the shrines and the praetor sighed and said "well here we go" We walked past several shrines, as I passed them I gave a quick pray to every God begging that this would go well. When we reached the shrine in the middle there was a shadow of someone with a knife gutting some kind of animal.

The Praetor gave me a small smile and said "Don't worry, it's just a a stuffed toy" Then there was a loud, cocky voice from inside "Not just a Stuffed toy Praetor, A Sacred Stuffed animal." Praetor Mahri sighed and said rolling her eyes, "Of course Augur Octavian. Now can you come out here, I have that new recruit that I mentioned!"

The older teenager came out and looked at me and said to her "He doesn't look like much" My fist clenched without my knowledge but Mahri just said to him, "Yes well he has just gotten out of Hospital after playing a key role in beating the Minotaur who was chasing after the Son of Jupiter, Jason Grace."

He grunted and said to me "Well the Minotaur ain't any easy beast to beat, even I have to admit that victory over such a beast is impressive however that isn't enough to get into the legion, you still need a reference." Pradetor Mahri handed it to him and he read over it, his eyes widening over time, he slowly started to stutter.

He managed to get out "A reference from 4 gods and you Predator! One from Lord Jupiter, One from lady Lupa, another from Lady trivia and finally one for Lord Neptune" he said my father's name with so much venom. He glared at me and damaged to grit out between his now clenched teeth "Well, you've got a reference, I guess I now have to consult the sacred...Sacred stuffed animal...toys"

The Praetor laughed and he went inside and a couple of minutes later he cursed before coming back out of the shrine, once again he got out between gritted teeth "The Gods believe he should take the trial." I looked at the praetor and Octavian and asked "may I ask Praetor and Augur what the trial is?"

Octavian laughed and said "You face 10 combatants, 2 from each Cohort. you will first face the centurion who is second in command, once you beat them you go to the main centurion of that cohort before moving onto the next one. If you don't get pass the first centurion for the 5th Cohort you are not allowed into the legion. If you get past the first centurion but get beaten by their superior for the 5th cohort, you are allowed to challenge them again and if you pass your put in the 5th cohort."

I then asked with a mealy gulp "And what happens if you beat all the centurions for the Cohorts, Augur Octavian." He looked at me as if he expected me not to get into the legion and replied "Then all the Cohorts are given the option of if they want you. First chooses first and it goes down. Then you choose which one you want to be in out of the ones that want you."

I nodded and Thanked him for his explanation, He then said "I will try to organize the trial for you in 5 days" I nodded and thanked him for this chance, praedtor left and then the Augur grabbed me forcefully, "I don't care about your references, you will not pass that trial." He slammed me against the wall of the shrine before going back into his shrine.

I headed back down to the bottom of the Shrine hill where Praetor Mahri was waiting and she told me that she had booked a room for me in the local youth lodge, she took me there and said to me before she left, "I hope you do well in your Trial Perseus, I would love to see you become a Probatio and become part of the Legion."

A/N and there is chapter 4, hope you enjoyed
