Elizabeth had put on the costume or uniform that Howard had made for her, Elizabeth had looked at herself in the mirror just to see what it looked like on her. Like her uncle's costume, her costume was red, white and blue the colors of the flag but unlike her uncle she didn't have a mask. She had designed it like that so it would be similar to her uncle's costume but not too similar. Unlike with her uncle's costume, of which were tights, hers was a jumpsuit but the jumpsuit hugged her body though. The design of the costume was pretty much the same as her uncle's costume and that was on purpose. Just as she looked in the mirror that James and Lauren entered the main area of the tent that the three of them shared. Elizabeth had looked up when they had entered the tent, they were wearing the armor and the firearms that Howard had gave them. But Elizabeth had notice their swords that they had got from their father the belt that also had the firearms.
"Do you know how odd it is not to see you in the army uniform, Greek armor or the camp Halfblood shirt and blue jeans? Not only that it is weird not to wear one of those either." Elizabeth smiled when James had said that.
"It is weird, I will admit. However the armor is for both fighting the war as well as fighting against Greek monsters. For we all know that Hephaestus had put Celestial bronze in our armor at least."
"Yeah, even yours, of which is surprising. But anyway, we need to go." Elizabeth had nodded when Lauren had said that and the three of them had left their tent to join the rest of the howling commandos of who were waiting for them by the road block. When Elizabeth, her uncle and the howling commandos reached their first target that Elizabeth and her uncle had went in first as planned. While half of the commandos would follow Lauren and James and the other half would follow Bucky and Gabe. Elizabeth was close behind her uncle and they hid in the shadows as a soldier walked past them and than they headed further into the base. When they managed to get done that the alarms had started and they headed out attack the HYDRA soldier. When her uncle caught his shield after he had throw it at the HYDRA soldier that her uncle had spoke.
"You know, I never once thought that I would be fighting alongside you." Elizabeth had used her staff to knock out on of the HYDRA soldiers as her uncle had spoke.
"Neither did I, but it happened. Besides I don't think the red skull expect a teenager to be part of the howling commandos."
She saw her uncle smile slightly when Elizabeth had said that and he throw his shield as they ran though the base attacking. Elizabeth kept using her staff to use as a weapon and defense, of which was how her uncle used his shield. As they were fighting that Elizabeth and her uncle had separated from each other. Elizabeth had no idea of where her uncle was or when they were separated from each other. Elizabeth had got to the roof, she had ran to the edge and stopped and looked down and she backed away some from the edge. Elizabeth heard footsteps behind and she turned to see bunch of HYDRA soldiers, Elizabeth gripped her staff in her hands ready for a fight. The HYDRA soldiers were about ready to attack but something had happen, it seemed like something had scared them for the dropped their weapons and ran back into the base. Elizabeth had stood there puzzled, for she knows it was not her or her staff that scared them off for a fourteen year old was not all that scary. But than she heard a voice from behind her though.
"Well, look what we have here." Elizabeth had turned around and was close of screaming herself more out of surprise than of fear. Elizabeth had dropped her staff and she also went up against the wall that was nearby, as the shock wore off that fear had entered her. For Elizabeth knew all too well of who was standing in front of her and it was the last person she had expected to meet or see. It was someone that Elizabeth had thought that she would never meet or see in her lifetime and was one that was asleep. It was a woman wearing a cloak of black dirt that churns and shifts and there was a veil of dust in front of her face. Her face was pale but yet still beautiful, however her eyes were closed of which was a relief to Elizabeth.
"Gaea!"
"I see you know me, child. I have to say that I am surprised that you are alive now but that might mean that soon enough I will take over Olympus." Elizabeth had manage to pull herself away from the wall and picked up the staff and hold it in a defense position. Elizabeth tries to put on brave face but she could mostly feel fear, fear that Gaea may over take Olympus.
"If you are going to over take Olympus, you have to go though the demigods." Gaea had chuckled when Elizabeth had said that.
"Brave of you to say that to me, Elizabeth Rogers." Elizabeth stiffen when Gaea had said her name. "Yes, I know who you are, Elizabeth. When the war started that I kept my eye on you as well as another. You two would be my pawns."
"I will never work for you."
"So brave for a daughter of Demeter and yet so unique." Gaea started walking towards Elizabeth and Elizabeth back away from her. Fear spread though her more when Gaea had started towards her, more than anything she wanted to go back to the others. But she was unable to move too far. "You are different from your half siblings due to your spirit, very few has your kind of bravery." Elizabeth was about ready to say something when she heard someone walking up he stairs to the roof. "You may as well think about what happen today. You will be a valuable pawn, so don't fear, instead make others fear you and you can become my second in command."
Elizabeth was about ready to respond when Gaea's form was reduce to just dirt and dust and with the winds that the dirt and dust went off of the room. As the dirt and dust flew off that her uncle had made it to the top of the roof, Elizabeth was gripping her staff rather tightly. She hardly notice the fact that her uncle was up there, when he had put his hand on her shoulder that Elizabeth had jumped and was close of falling but thankfully her uncle had grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the edge of the roof. Her eyes were on the roof that was beneath her, she wondered if she should go back on the ground. Elizabeth always felt safer on the ground, she was sure part of it was because of her mother, but she wasn't sure if being on the ground was safe for her anymore.
"Elizabeth, are you all right?" Elizabeth had looked up at her uncle when he had said that, even though his mask was covering most of his face that she could tell he was worried about her.
"I am fine. Let's get back down on the ground." Without looking back at her uncle, she had ran over to the stairs and ran down them as fast as she could and with the footsteps that followed that Elizabeth knows her uncle was following her. She was sure he was wondering what had happened just now, but she just couldn't tell of what happen. Elizabeth wasn't sure if she should tell Bucky, James or Lauren either about what happen on the roof. Bucky wouldn't get it or understand it, her uncle was till trying to figure out the demigod world and James and Lauren would be scared. For they know, as well as Elizabeth, that if Gaea was waking that it could mean the end of world. But what Elizabeth had decided was to see if she could figure out of who this other one that Gaea had spoke as soon as she gets back to New York in the next week or so.
A week later
Elizabeth was back at Camp Halfblood, she just explained Chiron of what happen at the HYDRA base. As soon as she finished that Chiron looked worried, not that she could blame him for Gaea was waking that it could bring more problems than what they have already. The war that was going on was the result of children of the big three and it was destroying much of the countries or at the countries that the war was taking place in. It also seemed like he was deep in thought as well, Elizabeth sat there waiting for Chiron to say something. After a few minutes that he looked up at her, Moshe could see the worry and fear in his eyes, something that is rarely seen.
"Are you sure she said two?"
"I am sure of it, that doesn't mean that she won't have more than just trying to get to the two. But I think this other person is in great danger by Gaea, whoever they are. We need to find them, there is was the chance that they might be in camp but I am not sure on that though." Chiron had bite his lip and seemed to be deep in thought, he looked worried but it was a different kind of worry than it was a minute ago when Elizabeth had told Chiron about Gaea. Somehow, Elizabeth had a feeling that it had nothing to do with Gaea at the moment and it had to do with something else. "Chiron what is it?"
"It might be nothing. Look I will try to look out for this demigod if I can." Chiron had started to walk away, Elizabeth had thought for a minute of why Chiron would be worried. Than a thought had hit her, she wasn't sure if she was right in thinking of it and most demigods would cal her crazy for even thinking of it and than saying it.
"That's what is what worries you that this demigod is in another demigod camp." At those words, Chiron had stopped walking. When he did that, that Elizabeth knows that it was true, that there was another camp out there that was just like camp Halfblood. Elizabeth had got up from her chair and walked over to him, than she went around to stand before him. "How come you never brought up this other camp?"
"I had swore on the river Styx not to."
"Why?" Chiron had sighed and did a gesture with his hands before he muttered something. After a minute that had meet her eyes, Elizabeth looked back at him waiting for him to answer her question.
"I can tell you at least, for the gods allow you to know since somehow you were able to figure out. For if a demigod learned of the other map by themselves that I can tell them but no one till know had even learned about it on their own."
"I only figured it out from how you acted just now, it's similar of how my uncle acted when he kept trying out for the army for the six times he tried and where he got into the army on the sixth try."
"I am not surprised by that. First please sit down." Elizabeth had sat down, to her surprise, Chiron had locked the front door. Not only that but he closed the door to the basement and the door that lead upstairs and locked them both before he had walked over to where Elizabeth was sitting.
"Why did you lock the doors."
"I don't want any of the other campers to hear about this. First you must swear on the river Styx not to tell anyone of what I am going tell you, even James, Lauren, Bucky and you uncle." Elizabeth looked at Chiron in surprise, Chiron knows of how close she was to James and Lauren and for the most part they share everything the each other. Elizabeth hadn't told them about Gaea quite yet, she wasn't sure of how to tell them about that.
"I swear on the river Styx that I won't tell anyone of what you are going to tell me." Thunder rumbled overheard, Chiron had nodded when Elizabeth had said that.
"As you know there is another camp and the idea of the other camp is the same as this but it's very different."
"Different, how?" Chiron had sighed when Elizabeth had asked him that question.
"Well, I am sure you heard about the roman gods from the myths, right? You also know that Greeks and Romans had never got along very well?"
"Of course, the Romans decided to use the same gods as the Greek gods, for the most part. I also know that the Greeks and the Romans are or were enemies. Why do you ask?"
"For the other camp is a roman camp." Elizabeth went stiff when Chiron had said that. Was there a chance that Gaea was using a roman demigod.
"So the roman gods are around than? How can the Greek gods not know about this?"
"They know of it, for they have a Greek aspect and a roman aspect."
"Wait a second." Elizabeth had stood up before she went on. "How come none of the Greek demigods know about this? That there is a roman camp and the gods have two aspects?"
"Because of the mist."
"But demigods can see though the mist."
"Not when it is woven so thick as it is between the two groups of demigods. Please sit." Elizabeth sat down as Chiron went on. "You now know why I had ask you to swear on the river Styx, as you can imagine that it would do a lot of damage if both camps are aware of each other. After the civil war that the gods decided to keep the two groups separate from each other to prevent any more wars between them." Elizabeth took a sharp intake of breath when Chiron had brought the civil war, Elizabeth had thought it started like the war on right now. But somehow she was guessing it was a war between Greece and a Rome.
"The civil war was not between the sons of the big three was it? It was a war between the Greeks and Romans."
"Yes, Elizabeth. The civil war was massive though at the moment is war is being the demigod civil war." Chiron had put a hand on her shoulder as she lowered her head. "Elizabeth, I know you are close with James and Lauren and I know you can't tell them about the roman camp. I wish there was a way for you to tell them. But I must ask you to at least try to keep Camp Jupiter in the back of your mind." Elizabeth looked up at Chiron when he had said that.
"That is the name of the roman camp, Camp Jupiter?"
"Yes. I will try to keep a look out for this other demigod but there is a very good chance that this demigod is Roman. But you should go back to you squad though." Elizabeth nodded when Chiron had said that and she got up as Chiron unlocked the front door. Elizabeth had than left the big house and went to the Halfblood hill to go back to New York.
