Percy's POV

It was quite a shock as everyone slowly began to notice the warrior in Roman armor. Climbing up a flimsy rope towards the Earth mother Gaia. I seemed to forgot all about the note he dropped in my hand.

He climbed the rope with ease even though Gaia was moving wildly. All of demigods trembled in fear and were nervous. We cheered him on.

Octavian's POV

I had to do something, I couldn't face myself. I made a mistake. A stupid one. A mistake that caused war between both camps. The mistake that caused Apollo to be disgraced. I realized that Percy Jackson, a hero like no other and the others in the seven were our only hope. Too many demigods died in the battlefield today. I could just pray that the seven will save us.

When the monsters attacked us, I panicked, I ran inside to pack my things in my tent. I was ashamed, too ashamed to face myself. A loyal legionary entered my room, "Sir, the seven have arrived, what do you want us to do?" "Follow their commands," I replied. "Do whatever they say. They are our saviours. Now, please, leave me in peace."

I was left in deep thought once he left. The seven from the prophecy are here, and should I stay or leave? Should I help them? I don't think I can do them any good. I doubted myself. Out of instinct, I ran outside looking around the Roman camp. I looked for the shrines to the gods, I had no hope except to pray to the gods, one by one. To deeply apologise for my past mistakes.

By the time I reached Apollo's shrine, my head was swarming with thoughts and emotions. Apollo, I know that I have disgraced you as your descendant. I am deeply sorry, but please hear me out. I ask for forgiveness, I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused, I ask for your blessing, a blessing so I can make things right. A blessing that can save both camps of demigods. I prayed and sacrificed everything I had with me, food, riches and drinks.

I felt a warm sensation, as if Apollo has acknowledged me. I felt hope slowly creeping up on me, bring light and possibilities. I ran back towards my tent and started changing into battle armor. I was fully armored in Roman purple, wearing a quiver on my back with a bow in one and and helmet in the other along with a sheathed imperial gold sword at my belt. I found a piece of paper and began writing on it, my last words to be given to someone I trust and placed it into my pocket.

I ran outside prepared to charge into battle along with my fellow demigods. My footsteps thudded on the ground, armor clinking together. I saw the seven fighting the enemy together along with both camps united. The demigods fought with so much ferocity, everything unfolded in front of my eyes. In no time, the tides turned. The monsters were being thrashed and killed. Everything seemed to flow smoothly until the growling of the Earth. The earth was shaking violently. A figure rises from the earth. I knew at once that it was the earth mother Terra or Gaia, in Greek terms. I paced towards her oblivious to what she had to say but as the ground was moving uncontrollably, it was extremely difficult to walk towards her.

Just as Gaia was making her speech. A figure descended from above and grasped onto Gaia. As it approached I realised it was a giant owl-like figure and it picked up Gaia into the sky. As the figure approached us, I realised that it was a giant owl. It picked up Gaia as if it was giant stuffed toy.

I wanted to call out to the owl, to tell it to stop, but when I saw who was inside the owl figure. I knew she had a good plan. She was the daughter of Minerva, orr should I say, Athena. Athena was the Greek Goddess of wisdom and warfare if I remembered correctly. I had to trust her doings and ideas.

I seemed to suddenly be rushed over by newfound energy deep inside me. I felt the urge to rush into battle just like the other demigods.

I took out the note from my pocket and grasped it tight in my free hand. I ran towards Percy, brave and the hero of all. I shoved the note into his free hand. I knew that he must be puzzled. Before he can notice anything, I ran towards Gaia. I saw her might and power, fighting back at the brave Annabeth. All I had on my mind was the fact that my fellow demigods need me. I may have caused trouble, but right now, I am their only hope. It is time to prove to others that I am a hero.

I pulled a grappling arrow from my quiver and aimed at Gaia's left foot. Once the tip dug into her foot, I began climbing as quickly as I could. The rope was a flimsy piece of thing, it was made even harder to climb. As Gaia thrashed and moved around, dragging around by the powerful and strong eagle.

My heart thudded, it was too late to turn back now. I felt eyes starting to stare. I wasn't half as strong as the other demigods around, but I was determined, I was filled with determination. My target for now is to reach the top and kill Gaia. I really do hope that killing her will make up for my mistakes and faults.

I heard shouts and loud cheers when I finally reached Gaia's foot. It gave me a boost of confidence for me to complete my mission. I started climbing up her foot, trying to reach her hands with the intention of cutting it off. It was extremely difficult, but my motivation stuck with me. The wild movements made by Gaia made it very hard to climb. I held onto her foot like I was a koala hugging a tree branch. If it wasn't for the desperate situation, people would have been laughing.
