Six months later
After learning about the Agro II and filling in the hunters that joined after the civil war about the Romans that Emily and the hunters had resumed their usual life of which was on the hunt. But Emily went to camp Halfblood for the next few months to check up on the Agro II and Jason. Piper and Jason had started dating during that time and James had remained in Camp Halfblood since it was clear that he was one of the ten like Emily was but Emily still had no idea of who the rest were. At the moment Emily was in Oakland, that was mainly because of the fact that it seem that the monsters were stronger around Camp Jupiter. Considering of where the titan's base was, that was not a big surprise to Emily, more so after what she had been though. However Hestia had told her to come here by herself, Hestia didn't explain why bough for there was something Emily needed to learn by herself here in Oakland. Emily was dress like she was when Aphrodite had gave Emily, Piper, Jason, Gleeson and Leo the makeover.
She was wearing a similar blue shirt, black boots, black jeans and her old brown jacket. Emily has the bandana around her neck as well as the one necklace around her neck, of which James was surprise of seeing her wearing. As a matter to fact he was surprised to see both the necklace and the bandana Emily had eight months ago when she had joined the hunters once more. However her hair was the only thing different from when Aphrodite did the make over, for her hair was braided like it usually have been for the past seventy years. Under what she was wearing was her lieutenant America uniform, even since the quest she had with Jason, Piper and Leo that she had wore her Lieutenant America uniform under her clothes just in case she needed them. There had been times of when she had lit herself on fire to fight a monster of when it was harder to kill any other way. Due to he uniform that none of her clothes and burned and she had a much better control with her fire abilities with it on than without.
So Emily had be gratefully for wearing her uniform, though it can be annoying at times like right now. For Emily felt like people notice her figure even though she had clothes covering the uniform. After a few minutes that Emily had turned a corner and stopped when she notice of how much to a wreck the street was. It looked like a fight had just ended and the mortals were coming out slowly of the building to see what has been happening. However there was a lion in the middle of the road and it started to change form and into a girl that was no more than thirteen and than the girl had turned around and looked right at Emily. Emily was close of gasping when she saw the face of the girl, for there was no mistaken of who her godly parent was. The girl looked just about as tall as Emily, the girl has fair skin but it was tanned from years of being outside. The girl has black hair, but her eyes were something Emily didn't expect, for she only saw two other people with the same eye color. The girl has deep sea green eyes, the same eye color as Percy and Poseidon but there was a small hint of forest green to show that she was at least blessed by Demeter.
It was clear that the girl knew that Emily was not just a normal mortal or person depending on of how much the girl knew of her heritage. Sure enough the girl walked over to Emily, Emily remained where she was as the girl approached her. When she had reached Emily that the girl had bowed maki Emily raised her eyebrows when the girl did that. Than the girl had stood back up properly and tilted her head looking at Emily curiously. Almost like as if the girl had never seen another person for as long as she was alive. Emily opened her mouth to say something but closed it at once for Emily wasn't sure what to say or do. For as long as Emily was alive that no one had ever approached her and bowed to her before. It was odd and she wasn't sure what to make of it, somehow Emily had a feeling that this girl and expected Emily or show up at some point. Emily was unsure of pretty much everything but three things, one that this girl was a demigod, that the girl was a roman or Greek and that she was a rush hater of Poseidon. Than the girl had spoke with an English accent, of which surprised Emily.
"Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Ceres, champion of Vesta and ambassador of Diana, I presume?"
"Yes, who might you been?"
"I am Persephone Williams, daughter of Neptune and legacy of Ceres. I was told by Vesta that you will find me and that you must come with me to the camp that Lupa told me to go to." At those words that Emily understand of why Hestia had sent her here.
"I see, come on than." Emily and Persephone had left the street and Emily had lead the way to the entrance of Camp Jupiter. They had to fight a few more times before they had managed to make it to the entrance of Camp Jupiter. This was the first time that Emily had been to Camp Jupiter since Emily had learned of what happen to Jason. The two guards had a cross plow and a sword made for a horse soldier out, Emily didn't know who the male was but Emily knew who the girl was there. For the helmet couldn't hid her golden eyes, but the male had spoke, judging from hai accent that Emily guessed that he might be from Canada but it was hard to tell for sure.
"Who are you two and what do you?" Before Emily could say anything that Hazel had spoke and lowered her sword.
"Frank, back off, this is Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Ceres and ambassador of Diana. She is also a Vestal Virgin." Frank had lowered his crossbow, Emily looked at Frank carefully or as best as she could with all the armor he has on. It was hard to tell of who his godly parent was, Emily would say Apollo but somehow something had told her that he wasn't a son of Apollo. Emily had rolled her eyes when Hazel had said she was a Vestal Virgin.
"It's champion of Vesta, Hazel. But more or less I basically took on the job of being a Vestal Virgin when I entered the camp so no one else had been one for years." Emily had nodded to Persephone and spoke. "This is Persephone Williams, daughter of Neptune."
Hazel had understood at once and allowed Emily and and Persephone to pass, when they were at the other side that Emily and let Persephone take in the sight of Camp Jupiter before moving on. When Emily and Persephone had crossed the bridge that the Romans had started to gather around them as Emily lead Persephone over to the office of the praetors or praetor in this case. As far as Emily knows, for all Emily knows that the Romans could have replaced Jason by now but Emily wasn't sure on that. But when Emily entered the office that it was clear that the Romans hadn't picked a new praetor recently. After explaining things to Reyna that one of the guards had took Persephone to the augur while Reyna had told her that the ambassador of Pluto was here and that Emily should go and took to him at his father's temple. So Emily had left the office and she had went up on temple hill and went to the temple of Pluto and sure enough Nico was standing just outside of the temple.
"Hey death breath." Nico had turned around suddenly when Emily had called out to him and he looked happy to see her.
"Emily, or should I say Elizabeth." Nico had ran over to her and hugged her. Than Nico had let her go before he spoke once more. "How is Bianca?"
"She is fine? How are you doing?"
"Busy with Thanatos captured that I felt like I have been working over time in the underworld." Emily was surprised to hear Thanatos was chained, but as she thought about it that it made sense since Gaea had open the doors of death.
"Thanatos is chained?" Nico had nodded when Emily had said that. "How come hades or yourself never brought that up?" Nico sighed had run his fingers though his hair.
"You know my father. Despite what happen last summer, he still trends not to tell the rest of the family everything." Emily nodded when Nico said that, for,Emily knew that all too well.
"I guess that would be a quest to free Thanatos at some point. For I am sure that one of the gods would come and give a quest." Emily had made sure that Nico understood that she didn't mean just this camp but it was possible that Camp Halfblood might get it.
"Maybe." Nico was about ready to say something but there was something happening down in the camp, Nico was about ready to go down there but Emily put her hand on his shoulder. Nico and looked back at Emily, somehow Emily felt that they shouldn't go down there just now. She wasn't sure why, for Emily felt something important was to going to come up or happen. Whatever it was that they would know soon enough.
"Nico, Whatever is going on down tree that we would know soon enough." After Emily sisd that, that he had sat down on the steps of the palace and remained silence for a few minutes before Nico had spoke.
"I know you said you would be looking for Jason since he went missing eight months ago and you haven't been back since."
"I know, Nico."
"So does Reyna know you are here?"
"Yes, she had ask me about Jason. I had told her that I had found some clues of where Jason might be or at least have a couple of ideas of where he might be." Nico raised an eyebrow when Emily had said that.
"Somehow I don't think that's the truth." Emily shrugged when Nico said that.
"It's the truth in a sense. I haut didn't tell her the full truth."
"Than you know where Jason is?"
"Yes, I also know where Percy is or will been since it is apparent hen isn't there quite yet, maybe."
"Where are they?" Emily looked over at Nico before she spoke and she just needed to tell Nico of where Jason was for him to figure out of where Percy might be.
"Jason is in Camp Halfblood." Nico had opened his mouth to say something but he was tipped before he could say anything.
"Hey, I've brought a friend." Nico and Emily had turned towards the source of the voice, it was Hazel, just besides was the one person that Emily was glad to see but made sure that he didn't realize he knows just in case if he didn't have hai memories like Jason. But Jason's memories had full returned since or close to fully returned at any rate. But when Percy saw them that Emily could tell that Percy knew them but yet didn't know them. However Nico looked shocked when he saw Percy but he had covered that up quickly. "This is Percy. He's a good guy. Percy, this is my brother, the son of Pluto and my friend the Daughter of Ceres."
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Nico di Angelo and is Elizabeth Rogers."
"I—I know you two."
"Do you?"
"Um…Percy's lost his memory." Hazel had them told them the story of how Percy got there and what he did. "So, Nico, Elizabeth … I thought…you know, you travel all over. Maybe you've met demigods like Percy before, or..." Nico's expression had darken as well as Emily's, that message was clear to Hazel to drop it.
"This story about Gaea's army. You warned Reyna?"
"Who is Gaea, anyway?"
"She's the earth goddess. The oldest goddess of all. She's in a deep sleep most of the time, but she hates the gods and their children."
"Mother Earth…is evil?"
"Very. She convinced her son, the Titan Kronos—um, I mean, Saturn—to kill his dad, Uranus, and take over the world. The Titans ruled for a long time. Then the Titans' children, the Olympian gods, overthrew them."
"That story seems familiar. But I don't think I ever heard the part about Gaea."
"She got mad when the gods took over. She took a new husband—Tartarus, the spirit of the abyss—and gave birth to a race of giants. They tried to destroy Mount Olympus, but the gods finally beat them. At least…the first time."
"The first time?"
"Last summer, Saturn tried to make a comeback. There was a second Titan war. The Romans at Camp Jupiter stormed his headquarters on Mount Othrys, across the bay, and destroyed his throne. Saturn disappeared—" it was clear that Nico was worried that Percy's memories might come back as he spoke since Nico had hesitated. "Um, anyway, Saturn probably faded back to the abyss. We all thought the war was over. Now it looks like the Titans' defeat stirred up Gaea. She's starting to wake. I've heard reports of giants being reborn. If they mean to challenge the gods again, they'll probably start by destroying the demigods.…"
"You've told Reyna this?"
"Of course. The Romans don't trust me. That's why I was hoping she'd listen to you. Children of Pluto…well, no offense, but they think we're even worse than children of Neptune. We're bad luck."
"However, I couldn't tell Reyna this since I had been busy traveling and killing all those monsters. But they kept reforming, I kept trying to make sure they stay ways form Camp Jupiter for the most part. I had some help, but even with that help that it was difficult to keep killing those monsters. The Romans trust me more than a child of Pluto." It was a true fact of
"They let Hazel stay here."
"That's different."
"Why?"
"Percy, look, the giants aren't the worst problem. Even ... even Gaea isn't the worst problem. The thing you noticed about the gorgons, how they wouldn't die, that's our biggest worry." Hazel and looked at Nico and Emily, it was clear that They were close to her secert but it seem like Hazel trusted Percy already.
"Nico and I, we think that what's happening is…Death isn't—" before Hazel could finish that there was a shout and a boy. About fifteen was running towards them. Emily realize it was the boy, Frank form the tunnel, honestly when Emily had saw Leo's makeover on the quest to save Hera that Emily thought that was funny as well as what Gleeson was wearing. But Frank beat both of them, not because of the clothes he was wearing of which was a purple camp shirt, jeans and denim jacket but it was his build. He looked like a big Chinese due with a baby head, Emily looked at Nico of who merely shrugged.
"Hey, Nico…"
"Frank." Nico had smiled. It seem like Frank amused Nico, Emily had a feeling that was partly because of the fact that Frank looked funny. Emily knows that most everyone find children of Pluto uneasy but it seem that Frank wasn't bothered by that fact.
"Reyna sent me to get Percy. Did Octavian accept you?"
"Yeah. He slaughtered my panda."
"He…Oh. The augury? Yeah, teddy bears must have nightmares about that guy. But you're in! We need to get you cleaned up before evening muster."
"You're right. We'd better—"
"Frank, why don't you take Percy down? Elizabeth, Hazel and I will be along soon."
"That's—that's a good idea. Go ahead, guys. We'll catch up."
"I'd like to talk with you some more. I can't shake the feeling—
"Sure. Later. I'll be staying overnight."
"You will?"
"Go on, Percy. Settle in. Elizabeth, My sister and I need to talk."
"You know him, don't you." Emily remained standing while Hazel and Nico had sat down. Emily and Nico hand looked at each other before Emily looked back at Hazel.
"Yes we do know him. However it would be better if it is just you and Nico talking. For I need to do something." Emily had turned and whistled, than Mrs. O'Leary had jumped out of a shadow and ran over to Emily and licked her face. "Hi there, girl." Mrs. O'Leary had barked as Emily got up on her and than Emily had leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "Camp Halfblood." Mrs. O'Leary had barked and jumped into another shadow an do they appeared in Camp Halfblood. Emily had slid off Mrs. O'Leary and she bounded after Emily as she ran towards the Agro II of which was almost done. Chiron, Jason, Piper and Leo were down there and Festus had whirled as she got near enough. Chiron and looked back at Emily and smiled when he said her.
"Elizabeth, I expect to see you and Mrs. O'Leary. What brings you here?"
"Percy had just made it to Camp Jupiter." At those words that Jason had dropped the tool that he had been holding and looked back at Emily.
"But he should have been there months ago." Emily turned and faced Jason when he said at and she waved her hand in front if his face.
"Earth to the roman, don't you remember of what you did before you reached the camp. Wouldn't you think that Percy had to do the same thing." Jason smack himself when Emily had said that, Chiron had sighed in some what relief.
"At least, Percy is safe for the time being. But the question is would Percy be able to gain their trust?"
"No idea but there is one more thing." Everyone looked at her. "I will say this, that all of the children of the big three so far have at least one sibling or two expect for Percy. One was from the roman aspect and the other two were Greek."
"Point?"
"Well today I found an daughter of Neptune. In Oakland and took her to Camp Jupiter and I believe she is one of the ten along with Percy." No one said a word when Emily said that.
