Hey everyone! I'm soooo happy I got more reviews for the last chapters! I was smiling the whole day! Anyway back to the story… I'm making this chapter longer for you all, and I'm sorry if it is kind of boring but I have to explain everything before I get to the good parts… But please please review! I really appreciate it when people review. Well I hope you like this chapter! :)

Disclaimer: In case you haven't figured it out already, I do not own PJO, HoO, or the prophecy of seven, it is all Rick Riordan's.

Chapter 3:

Leo's POV:

"What's up Octavian? You Romans sound pretty cool, dude."

"Go away."

"So Octavian, hey, can I call you Oct? Oct is a pretty cool nickname, you've got to admit…"

"Leave me alone, you Greek buffoon!" Octavian snapped. I raised my eyebrows and walked away, grumbling. Maybe there was someone more friendly I could talk to. I saw a boy and a girl sitting by a tree, so I decided to make some new friends.

"Hey, aren't you two of the people who went on that terrifying trip to Alaska?" I grinned at them.

The boy with the baby face and muscular body spoke up, "I'm Frank, and this is Hazel. You're Leo, right?" I beamed at being recognized. The girl… Hazel… She was staring at me like I would either disappear or attack her, even though I wasn't going to do either.

"Yeah, I'm Leo, supreme commander of the Argo 2! Hey, you're Hazel right? How come you look all freaked out? I'm not going to bite…"

Hazel whispered, "Sammy?" and tears came to her eyes.

"Who's Sammy? And what did I say-" Was as far as I got before she burst into tears right in front of me.

I stared in shock and muttered, "I'll just… go…" and ran away. I walked around for a little while, confused at what had just happened. The Hephaestus temple looked pretty cool, and the Romans had done some nice work building the whole camp. As I gave myself a tour, I found Piper talking to Annabeth.

I yelled at her, "Hey Beauty Queen! What up?"

She turned and said once I got over to her, "No need to shout, Repair Boy. My ears are working fine." She grinned and gave me a shove.

I gave a half hearted smile and shrugged, "These Romans are so uptight. It's like they don't know what the word fun means. Or funny, or humor, or any words that define my personality…" I sighed and sat on a log.

Piper frowned, and sat next to me, saying, "Hey, they're going through a lot, and they don't know who to trust. If we're part of the seven, we have to get used to being around them, and they have to get used to being around us. Let's just relax, have fun, and kick back."

I grinned but raised an eyebrow, "Are you charmspeaking me? 'Cuz charmspeaking is allowed, but Leo is off limits…"

She shot me a horrified glance and shoved me, and we both started laughing. Annabeth had been watching the whole time, and she cracked up too. We all kept laughing until Reyna called a senate meeting in thirty minutes.

After thirty minutes, I figured out a few things: I don't like OCD gods, I don't like senate meetings, and I will never wear a toga. Not necessarily in that order. Luckily as soon as we found out about the meeting, we went to the city border. We spent 10 minutes with Terminus, adjusting boulders, straightening my shirt, etc, 15 minutes finding the senate room, and 5 minutes watching people shifting uncomfortably in their togas, which were staying on with great difficulty.

After a few minutes of chatter, everyone stopped as Reyna held up her hand and said, "Obviously the Greeks have arrived, and they came in a giant warship. We have determined them as friends, until they do something that shows we can't trust them. But first, we must discuss the prophecy. It is, Seven half bloods shall answer the call. To storm or fire the world must fall-"

"An oath to keep with a final breath, and foes bear arms to the doors of Death. Yes, yes, we know. Your point is?" Octavian finished hurriedly, earning an annoyed glare from Reyna, who looked surprisingly well after passing out a few hours before.

"The point is, it says that seven half bloods shall answer the call. Who will those seven half bloods be?" Reyna finished. There was an awkward silence until Percy stepped up.

"Frank, Hazel, and I have to be three of the half bloods mentioned. We went on a quest together, and Gaea said we were important or whatever…" He ended awkwardly, he obviously didn't like bragging.

Jason stood up and said, "Piper, Leo, and I are going too. Can't you tell?"

The room was dead silent until Octavian jumped up and said, "There is one more spot left. I believe I should go because I have the gift of prophecy and- "

"I'll do it." Annabeth interrupted. All eyes were on her.

She took a deep breath and said, "The other prophecy says, Wisdom's daughter walks alone, the Mark of Athena burns through Rome. Isn't it obvious? I am Athena's daughter, or wisdom's daughter, so I obviously have a part in this."

Reyna, with a pale face, agreed, "So it is settled. The seven are Jason, Piper, Leo, Percy, Hazel, Frank, and Annabeth. Leo, when do you think would be a good time to depart for Rome?"

I cleared my throat, aware of everyone watching me, and said, "How about tomorrow at noon? That way we'll have time to get our supplies and prepare for the trip."

Reyna nodded, "All in favor?" Every senator raised their hand.

"You leave tomorrow at noon. Senate, dismissed."

What do you think? Please please please comment! It would make my day. Thanks for reading! :)
