Hello all you Romans. Well not actually Romans but still. Well, actually I assume you didn't time travel.
Speaking of Romans I was learning about them in Social Studies today! And you know how during the Son of Neptune Rick Riordon says that "Hey, the eastern part of the empire lasted longer and it was more about Greek customs and gods…" Well I can tell you that his information was FALSE! The eastern part of the empire was kept the ROMAN tradition alive for many centuries, and the were mainly CHRISTIAN because of the emperor Constantine who was Christian and changed a city to the capital in the eastern part and named it Constantinople, whish is now known as Istanbul in Turkey! I like ranting.
Um… this authors note is already 132 (as of 132) but I still need to say something.
I, Ramijek Repry, member, Percy Jackson Fanfic: It's OUR Life Author, descendant of France in the US, hereby solemnly swear that I will from now on update this fanfiction every week on or before Sunday given that I am not dead or in intensive care, or I will previously note to you.
Seriously, if I'm on my deathbed I will find a way to get to my computer and post. And I would probably tell you that I'm dying. And I will tell you if I am going to commit suicide. But I won't, right? Wow, I'm creepy. Sorry! Oh yeah, and Ramijek Repry isn't my real name, just an anagram.
I don't own PJO.
They needed to move soon. And by soon, Adrian meant now. Adrian knew that as soon as Pocris had shown up. Based on old Myths that Adrian had read up on, Pocris was a daughter of the king of Athens. She either cured King Minos of a disease, or somehow appealed to Diana (depending on the story) and received a hunting dog. Wherever she went, the dog went with her. Now Adrian could smite any normal hunting dog. But Pocris's hunting dog was Laelaps, a hunting dog that would always catch its prey. And saying that wasn't a boast, Laepus had been enchanted by some sort of way so that he would ALWAYS catch his pray. And considering that Pocris was glaring Adrian and his two friends evilly, talking about Gaea, they were dead meat if that dog showed up. Because who else would be it's target?
Pocris took two steps towards the three of them, and hefted something up onto her shoulder. Adrian, just remembering that she also had a never-missing javelin, decided that diplomacy was the skill he needed to survive this, not speed. He spoke to Procis, "Why do you take aim at us?" Pocris replied, "Your quest is against my mistress Gaea's wishes. It needs to be stopped." Adrian used all of his willpower not to spit back a remark at her and said, "We wish your mistress no harm…" Adrian continued speaking while cautiously taking steps towards her. Pocris looked at him uneasy, but didn't reply. Adrian was just about to grab onto the javelin when he heard Mimi scream, "Adrian, LOOK OUT!" Obviously this distracted him from the javelin, but it was also helpful because Laelaps had just burst through the trees, and in his attempt to reach Pocris, he was about to knock Adrian over and probably maul him at the same time had he not been looking. Adrian jumped out of the way, and Laepus ended up barreling into Pocris. Adrian analyzed his surroundings. He saw Pocris attempting to get up, Laepus standing at her side, Mimi standing a few feet behind him, and James about to stab Pocris.
What?
Why in the world was James about to stab her? That would probably only get him severely injured or killed. But James did it anyway. In fact, it killed Pocris. But the victory was short lived. Laepus wasn't going to attack while Pocris wasn't around, but as soon as Pocris was raised again, just like she would be soon, the were all so very, very, DEAD. Adrian was thinking these thoughts when Mimi grabbed his arm and pulled him back to reality. Pocris still wasn't alive, and they had some time to run. James was right behind them, and Mimi was starting to run. So Adrian did too.
But at least the time Adrian spent not running made him realize a plan.
Mimi was frustrated. They had been running for three hours, in a dark forest, and if they were getting, anywhere, it wasn't far. They may as well have been running in circles. Mimi was sure she had seen that tree before, and that bush, and tree again, and that tree that she's seen twice already, and the sword marking she left on that tree last time they passed, and- "Guys, I think we're going in circles." It was Adrian. Mimi, trying to sound as least frustrated as possible, said, "Really? Why do you think that?" Adrian pointed to the now dark sky and said, "I've been watching the stars, and we're facing the same direction that we were five minutes ago, after turning." James pulled out a compass and said, "We're not even walking in the right direction!" Mimi nearly banged her head on the sword-marked tree.
Emblem approached Mike just before lunch. He had been trying to cause another fight, but he failed miserably. Emblem had pinned him against a tree and asked her question, "I was thinking of sneaking out of camp to go on a, journey, so to speak. Multiple days, possibly following a certain three people. Care to join?" Mike oh so casually replied, "Why did you pin me to a tree?" Emblem sighed. Then she repeated, "Care to join?" "Fine." Both Mike and Emblem walked off smiling.
Emblem had just gotten her no help.
After lunch, Mike was sparring with Lila. They were pretty much evenly matched. Slash. Clang. Ting. After a few minutes, Lila had disarmed to Mike, despite him being a son of Mars. She stepped over him as to shake his hand after the match, but after she stopped walking, she slammed Mike into a tree. She talked quickly, "Mike, what is wrong with you today? You were grinning like an idiot, which you are, but you don't grin. You lost a sparring match against me, and while I stink at swordplay, you love it. And at lunch, you didn't steal my cookies. What happened?" Mike talked under his breath, but loud enough for Lila to hear, "What is it with girls slamming me into trees today?" Lila shouted, "Answer the question!" "Fine! Emblem asked me to go somewhere with her." "I knew you had a crush on her.' "Not like that!" "Sure." "It's not!" "Fine," She let go of him, "but I'm getting to the bottom of this."
I apologize terribly for being so late in posting. It's been two whole months. I swear, I somehow will make up for it. But we got a quest started today, so eventually forgive me.
