It was Saturday evening, and the campere were still relishing the precious nights Capture the Flag game. It had been Poseidon, Zeue, Hephaestus, Nemesis, Tyche, Hypnos, Hecates, Dionysus, Ares, and their allies against everyone else, which made for an interesting game.
Chiron offered the Name Bag (€¥ it had come to be called) to the head of the Ares cabin. The camper pulled out the name Hazel Levesque. The Hades cabin looked mildly interested for once (Thirsday didnt count since they'd gone back to plotting after the mention of a Son of Hades and theybhsdnt paid much attention during the tale of Xoe nightshade, thus kissing the part about the Daughter of Hades). They knew about Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto, the Roman form of Hades.
"Hazek Levesque. One of the Seven tamer of the horse Arion, wife of Frank Zhang, a former praetorian of the Twelth Legion. Hmm, where to start? Oh yes. Hazel was born in 1928 to Marie Levesque, out of a wish to Pluto, the Roman equivalant of Hades, to have all the riches in the world, and was thus cursed to have the ability to raise cursed jewels from the ground..Ironically, he curse is supposed to have been washed away by a "son of Neptune", and she tamed Arion, son of Poseidon, married Frank Zhang, descendant of Poseidon, and was the sponsor of Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." Some chuckles came from the campers at this.
The Athena kids, on the other hand, wanted answers. "You say she was born in 1928 but was the sponsor of Percy Jackson? What is she, an old lady that stayed with the Legion for 90 years or something?" one of them asked.
"I thought you lot were supposed to be know-it-alls." one of the Hades campers grumbled. "Hazel Levesque died and then came back when the Doors of Death were opened because someone decided to break a bunch of rules."
Chiron held back a chuckle at that remark. "Yes, that is exactly what happened. Hazel Levesque came back to life after the fall of Kronos, as the Doors of Death were opened. She was one of the first Romans to meet Percy Jackson, along with Frank Zhang, descendant of Poseidon and son of Mars. The three of them traveled o na quest to Alaska to defeat a giant that Hazel had been forced to create back in 1942, before her first death. They came back, brining the Legion's eagle, and almost immediately left on a quest to the Ancient Lands with the rest of the Seven. That of course spiraled into the battle with Gaea. She became praetor during the year after, during the time Apollo was made mortal." Chiron, for once, was able to get through most of Hazel's tale without interruptions of any kind, not even from the Hades campers.
"Did she go back to the Underworld?" a Hermes campers asked. "Once the Doors of Death were closed and all?"
"No, she did not. She currently resides with her husband, Frank Zhang, in New Rome. Actually, the only member of the Seven to have died so far is Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. Surprisingly, the previous generation of demigods and legacies seem to be living longer-then-average lives, possibly because of the protections of New Rome and New Athens. I dearsay we should have built a New Athens a much longer time ago, it seems to be doing quite well." Chiron noted thoughtfully. "And with the new university starting up next September..."
Chiron was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice when the campers self-dismissed and left to their cabins.
Revies, please!
