Jason
Jason was still suprised about Percy sacrificing his position as praetor for him. That was one of the most honorable things he had ever heard. "What were you guys talking about" Leo asked Jason. "We were talking about praetor stuff" Jason said. "Put your weapons into the tray" yelled the statue Terminus. Julia came with a tray and Leo set his tool belt on it. Jason put his gladius on the tray. "I missed you Jason" Julia told him. "I missed you also Julia" Jason replied . "Hey Julia" Frank and Hazel said while they held hands. Leo didn't know why but he felt a little jealous. Leo felt like he had seen Hazel before. "I know it sounds weird but I feel like I have seen you" Leo said to Hazel. Hazel opened her mouth to talk but Julia interrupted her "Hi Percy." "Hey Julia" Percy said while he set his pen on the tray.
Annabeth and Piper arrived a few seconds after Percy. Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, and Piper all layed their weapons on the tray. "Nice toga seaweed brain" Annabeth commented. Everyone started to laugh. "Luckilly this is the last time I wear this thing. Jason you're going to be praetor next" Percy said as the 7 headed for the senate house. "Everyone, Percy has decided to give up his job as praetor. Jason Grace will be praetor now." Reyna announced to everyone. "I'm sorry to interrupt but why Jason Grace. I think it would be fair if we vote for our next praetor" Octavion interrupted. Reyna was extremely worried. She knew that Octavion could talk many Romans into voting for him. "Everyone who wants Jason as praetor stand who wants Octavion as praetor sit down" Reyna said as many people stood up. "How do we know that these Greeks are not here to invade us. They will make us prisoners. What if Jason betrays us and he leads the Greeks to war with us" Octavion said as many people considered the idea.
People started to sit down and Octavion could tell that everyone would soon side with him. "Are you calling me a traitor" Jason said enfuriated by Octavion. "The Greeks are peaceful and we don't want to invade you. You guys trust Percy so I am sure that you will trust us" Piper said trying to defend Jason. Soon everyone was standing. "You guys are actually going to believe her. She is a Greek."Octavion said. "Don't talk to Piper like that" Jason yelled at Octavion with an angry face.
Piper tried to calm down Jason. "It is settled Jason Grace will be praetor. Everyone can leave except for Jason, Piper, Percy, Leo, Hazel, Frank and Annabeth" Reyna announced. The 8 waited until everyone had left. "So what are we doing here" Leo asked. "We're here to talk about the quest. I think that you are the 7 of the prophecy" Reyna whispered although they were completely alone. "I don't think I'm one of the 7 from the prophecy" Annabeth said with a confused look. "Annabeth, I probably should have told you before. We heard a prophecy during the quest" Percy said. "What was it" Annabeth asked. "Wisdom's daughter walks alone. The mark of Athena burns through Rome. Annabeth, you are the 7th in the prophecy" Percy said with a frown on his face.
