Once again thank you so much for the support so far guys, your support keeps me writing these chapters.

Chapter 5- New recruit, it's time for the Trial- Part 1

Perseus's P.O.V

I Slashed at the pale dummy in front with Justice, Creating a deep gash in the dummy. The stuffing inside of it poured out of the dummy as a drop of sweat pooled down my face, I looked to the clock at the top of the training room, it read '6:00 AM' By the river Timber, I still had 6 Hours until the trial.

For the last 5 days, I have been either training or in the library reading. I was extremely nervous about this afternoon, this would be my final trial and Jason wouldn't be there to watch because he had just woken up yesterday.

I had completed the first trial by impressing Praetor Mahri and former praetor Matthew in my battle against Jason. I had complete the first trial of making it to Camp Jupiter before the 5 day time limit was up. I had been granted a Reference by the Gods and The gods told Augur Octavian that they though I was worthy.

I continued slashing at dummies for another half an hour before felt my body fall to my knees, I took one long sip of my water that I had next to me and rejuvenated my body. I looked at the clock again '6:30 AM' Still another 5 and half hours, the gym opens in 30 minutes, guess I can go there for a a couple of hours before I relax for a bit before the final trial.

I couldn't believe that I was so close to joining the Legion, one step closer to having family and friends outside of Mother Lupa, one more step to finding my mother and sibling.

I Picked myself up from the sandy ground, sand stuck to my sweaty hand, I raised my arm and started slashing at the the dummy once more. Left, right, down, Jab, Slash, left, slash, right, jab, down, jab for the next 15 minutes before my legs gave out beneath me again and I fell to the sand once again.

I started to Pant and reached for my water and took a small sip of it before throwing the entire bottle of war on me, covering me in water and re-energizing me although I was still exhausted from all the training I had been doing. I thought of 'Justice' turning back into its amulet form and with a golden glow my golden blade disappeared.

I dragged my self over to the water fountain that was at the edge of the training ground and used it to pick my self up and then I pressed one of my tired fingers down on the cold metallic button that dispersed the water. The next thing I knew I was in heaven as water flooded my mouth, giving me more energy than I had in a couple of days.

The button went back up with a 'pop' As I let go of it and moved away, I grabbed my bottle from where I dumped it and retraced my steps back to the Fountain and filled it up with water. I could hear some cheering from the north entrance of the training grounds and I ran towards the east entrance which was the closest exit to me.

I exited the Training ground to the lush green of once of the hills that scattered New Rome and Camp Jupiter, I hugged the wall with my back until I heard all of the people cheering enter the Grounds and I made my way towards the path that was at the North entrance, nobody would know that I was there due to how the entrance was up some stairs for the north entry point.

I ran down the hill and was about to enter the city when there was a flash of white light from next to me, and a deep voice "And where do you think you are going Perseus, with a weapon hanging around your neck so dangerously like that?"

I groaned as I realized that it was Terminus who had stopped me...again...for the 23rd time since I had started going into New Rome. I reached for the Amulet around my neck and at first went to the actual amulet as if I was going to summon 'Justice' but instead I went towards the String that kept it around my neck and pulled it over my head.

I Forced a smile out at towards the harmless god and said "Sorry Terminus, I forgot, So nervous about the trial later today, here you go." I passed it to his assistant who had arrived at some point and Terminus told me "Understandable Perseus but try to remember the rules no matter what, we don't need you getting kicked out." I nodded and passed through the barrier.

I made my way to a cafe that opens at 6 everyday that was next to the gym and got some bacon and some eggy toast, the women who owned the cafe gave me loads and said in a sweet voice "You need to have food in you for the big day! Eat Up!" She had already told me the rest of the week that when I pass or If I some how Don't pass that she would take me in and make me a part of her family- Which I was super grateful for, she was so Kind!

Reyna's P.O.V

I stared at my older sister who was looking after this older man, Massaging his back while asking him questions, Miss Circe treated us so well and for the first time in years I felt safe, no longer would daddy hurt me because he saw things that weren't there.

But at the same time I missed the man that had been there when I was younger who would read me bed time stories and look after me and sis, the kind caring man. I saw my sister thank the man and then tell him that Miss Circe would look after him now, he started to look panicked but Sis splashed him with some water and he calmed down and made his way towards the door.

Once he had gone through she ran up to me and said "Good news sis! I found a way to get you to that camp that I mentioned -the one that will keep you safe!" She was grinning like mad but I said, quietly, sleepily "That's what I don't understand sis, Why are you saying I will be safe and not we will?"

She gave me this sad look and said "I dragged you to this island that we aren't supposed to go to but this camp is very safe but they wouldn't be happy with me if they learned that I came here by my own free will.

I felt tears build up in my eyes and hugged her tightly and said "I don't wanna go anywhere without you, don't make me go!" Tears were now starting to roll down my cheek and big sis started to wipe away my tears and said "Hush now, my baby sister, you will make me and our mother proud by going to this place but you will have to leave soon, I will get a boat for you ready in two days times"

I nodded as more tears poured down my face staining my cheeks as the gong that singled Dinner rang with a large 'bang...bang...bang' Making everybody jump up and start heading towards the dinner hall...this could be one of the last times I ever eat with my sis... oh gods.

Perseus's P.O.V

I fell off the treadmill and went shooting to the floor, the trainer ran over to me and asked me "are you okay kid." I looked up at the black haired kid and nodded, he helped me up straitened my training clothes out.

He said to me "Your that kid, Perseus right? you have your trial this afternoon so I would probably rest up, don't exert yourself. Go rand relax for the next few hours" He then picked me up and threw my over his shoulder removing me from the gym. I tried to kick him but I ended up just failing my legs.

I made my way over to the hostel where I had been staying ever since I had woken up and been cleared to take the trials by Octavian. It was a nice small building in the center of new Rome. My room had enough room inside to fit a singular bed and a desk along with a small Armour stand it wasn't much but it was still much more than what we had with Mother Lupa.

Jason was apparently going to wake up in the next day or so which was great I had missed my cousin and I wish he had recovered as quickly as I had. Before long it was time for me to make my way towards the arena.

In my mind my father spoke to me as he had done a couple of times since arriving at camp; although they were always short. "Good luck my son, make me proud and show them why they should respect you as the Son of Neptune and as the Champion of Trivia"

Bianca's P.O.V

"What do you mean Mrs Dodds is coming along on the field trip!" Mr Burner sighed as he looked down at my outburst after class.

He looked at me and said "It seems that the headmaster doesn't trust me to not tell you off if something happens involving you, so he bringing in another teacher to keep an eye out" He started me right in the eye challenging me to say something

I grabbed the edge of the desk in a tight grip and managed to get out between grit teeth, "But why Mrs Dodds of all people, she isn't a Latin teacher nor is she a History teachers; she's a substitute Math teacher! Also she has it out for me, professor can't you switch her for someone else?!"

He glared at me, "Miss Di Angelo please let go of my desk before you break in it and I'm sorry but the Headmaster was quite firm on his decision, I'm sorry Bianca but on this trip I can only accept the best behavior from you."

Grover moved forward and put his hand on my shoulder, "maybe this is a good thing Bianca, it might make you keep yourself out of trouble more." both myself and Mr Burner turned to glare at him he slowly backed out of the room saying, "I'll see you outside Bianca" before running as fast as he could with crutches.

Nico was sitting at my side , twiddling his thumbs, the most likely thing to happen would be that Nico would do the smallest thing that Mrs Dodds would see as causing trouble and then when we got back to the school the two of us would be expelled.

I placed a hand gently on his shoulder, he was shivering which was unusual, I took of my jacket and gave it to him, he gently took it from me, putting it on, it was way to large but he quickly stopped shivering.

"Miss Di Angelo you are one of my best students when it comes to the work that your doing in my Latin class, constantly your are getting high results however your are failing other classes and it does seem like every other teacher has it out for you, Good Luck"

I nodded and slowly got up, Nico looking around confused as I got up, I grabbed his hand and we slowly walked out of Mr Burners office, as we left I turned around to fact Mr Burner and said "thank you for letting Mr know about Mrs Dodds, Mr Burner."

We walked out of the Class...only to immortality run into Nancy Bobifet and...AND Aimee and her goons. Immediately Nancy threw the remaining part of her lunch at me, one of her typical moves. Grover already against the wall pinned by one of Aimee's cronies, the rest of Nancy's lunch in his ginger curly hair.

I pulled my hand into a fist ready to punch Nancy or Aimee in the face however before I did punch I took a couple breaths of air, if I did one more thing that got me in trouble I would be excluded which was the last thin I needed.

I allowed my hand to become loose again as I saw Aimee go for Nico so I pushed him out of the way , him hitting the wall slightly. The punch pushed me backwards into Mr Burner's class room, blood pouring down my nose..

Mr Burner made his way over to me quickly, checking on me, he noticed Nico and Grover against the wall, he yelled "Nancy, Aimee, Kya and Nya Headmaster's office Now! the 4 of them were quaking in their boots as Mr Burner's rage burned like never before.

Perseus's P.O.V

I placed on the roomy Silver chest piece, which was too larch for me however I could still move which was the main thing, I already had the shin and leg guards on which were about two sizes to small, probably made for young children during practice or very small people.

I grabbed the arm Guards which were a few of the normal fitting ones and placed them on, Grabbing the strap I pulled them on so they were tight without being uncomfortable.

The Chanting Outside was getting louder, obviously Camp Jupiter and New Rome saw the initiation event as fun/sport, which was slightly crazy, we may be Romans but we aren't savages...well at least not any-more.

I slowly started to make my way out of the perpetration room outside into the Arena. Grabbing a shield that was on the ground, I hit it up with me foot, catching it in my hands.

I pulled the Shield on, strapping it to my arm. The Light from outside got brighter and brighter as I walked out into the Arena my eyes quickly adjusting to the change in light, the advantages of being raised by a wolf goddess.

Going a fair distance into the Arena, I stopped and pressed my amulet summoning Justice, my golden sword.

Praetor Marhi called out "Today we have a demigod who wishes to join the legion!" There was cheers from around the arena, the excitement was unbelievable"

"Myself and former Praetor Matthew have seen him fight and almost beat a son of Jupiter, He and his cousin were able to beat the Minotaur- A Greek monster none the less, he also has a reference from 4 Gods, Lord Jupiter, Lady Lupa, Lady Trivia and Lord Neptune, I also have given my reference"

The entire Arena went silent when they heard how many references I had before the Praetor said "Cohort 5 Please send out your Second in Command Centurion."

A 14 Year Old Girl walked towards me slowly, his Armour fitting perfectly and he had an Iron Sword in his hand, most of the camp's imperial Gold had gone missing about 20 years ago when the 5th cohort had went to Alaska and lost the gold.

She looked in my eyes, with a smile on her face, "I wish you Luck, I really hope you choose the 5th Cohort" She then got into a fighting stance, her Sword raised and ready to fight.

And that's the end of the chapter.

It was going to be longer but I've not had either enough time when I've been motivated to write a chapter for this story or I've not been motivated when i did have time.

However I feel bad about not getting another chapter out so I decided I would treat you all with this one and split the fight into 2 halves, the morning before and the fight itself. I will try and write the fight as soon as possible.
