It's Ariella again and I am so beyond pissed off right now it's not even funny. I had warned Terminus about what was going to happen and he had given his understanding. Haley was hard pressed to keep up with me, but she managed and I stopped in the city square and caused a minor quake. That got the people to come running, " What's the matter, Ariella? " one of the retired veterans, Axel Martinez asks me.
" We have a new camper, a Pluto son, and he is also part storm dragon, I have been informed that there are ten more dragon slayers in the city by one of the legionnaires whom attacked one of my soldiers, stand forward now! " I snap out, I was not going to tolerate this crap.
" Dragons are filthy, disgusting creatures whom need to be eliminated. "
My eyes flash and I use the moisture in the air to soak the one whom had spoken, " Haley, show them what will befall anyone else whom attacks Nick Martini, the son of Pluto!
Haley unleashes a massive thunderbolt and the one whom had spoken up screams as all that electricity courses through their body, conducted by their soaking wet clothing. The other nine start to back away and are immediately encapsulated in a dome of lightning, courtesy of Haley. I stalk over to the dome and glare at them all, " Nick is under my protection, as he is in my legion and I am its praetor! I will not tolerate any further attacks on him or all of you will be bringing dishonor to future generations in your families if you persist, am I making myself CLEAR! "
Storm clouds had started gathering, the wind had started to pick up immensely while I was speaking, as I was supremely pissed off. " Like we're going to let you stop us from killing that filthy creature! " one of the women hisses at me.
" My name is Ariella Jackson, I am a daughter of Neptune, the storm bringer, the Earth shaker, and god of the Sea, I singlehandedly took down ten griffins during the titan war and I was at Jason Grace's back when he defeated the Titan Krius and shattered the throne on Mt. Othrys! I will be respected, whether you Romans like my father or not as he is one of the Big Three! "
The woman who had spoken looks at me nervously now, as I had brewed up a Cat 3 hurricane and it was easily on its way to becoming a Cat 5. One of the men gets brave, " Our brethren outside of camp will come for him! "
" They will be met by the full strength of the Roman Army and they will be turned away! I was raised to praetor on the battlefield, same time as Jason, son of Jupiter! I went on several quests with Jason and returned successful, my brother, Percy Jackson faced down Kronos and defended Mt. Olympus, he led that army of half-bloods to victory, he defeated Medusa, the Minotaur three times now, returned the master bolt to Jupiter, helped to retrieve the Golden Fleece, took on the burden of Atlas so lady Diana could fight him, traversed the Labyrinth and survived, defeated the Nemean lion as well. We will be victorious, am I understood? " I shout out, the hurricane was only effecting the ones in the dome, eight of them were sufficiently cowed, but one was glaring at me defiantly.
" You think I care about that. I will not allow a filthy dragon to be in Camp Jupiter! "
" That is not your DECISION! Lupa knows he is a dragon and has no problem with him being here, he has passed her test, if you have any problems take them up with her! " I snap out, the hurricane intensifying in strength, really, you'd think the idiot would realize that I would not back down before him, if I didn't back down from Lupa I wouldn't back down form some jumped up demi-god descendant. I pissed Octavian off because I continually pointed out to him that he had no powers and just had the position because of his ancestors. He didn't like the fact that I would not treat him like royalty when I was technically the princess of the sea, I had more clout in camp and he knew it.
At the mention of Lupa's acceptance the last holdout is finally cowed, as everyone knew that only the strong got to stay here with Lupa's permission. No one would argue with Lupa about that, and I hoped Lupa would get here soon to pass judgment on these fools, because I was going to stay here and keep this Cat 5 going until she did, and I could do it too. I could feel the Fates screaming at me, they had wanted Nick dead and my mere presence had screwed with their plans. Plus, they hadn't counted on Percy helping him either. I liked it when the Fates starting screaming at me, because it meant I was doing something right.
Lupa makes her way over and I dissipate the hurricane, though the dome stayed in place. Haley assured Lupa it would go down once she had passed judgment on the idiots and we head back to the camp. I was still pissed and I was hoping I could get someone to spar with me when I see Amy in Nick's arms being attended to by Aaron, my ire immediately skyrockets and I look towards the two being held by the Apollo campers, " Which one of you hurt my baby SISTER! "
Alissia winces at this, " I did. "
I stalk over to her, my eyes glowing glow, and she gulps, even she knew what a glaringly stupid idea it was to piss me off and she knew how protective of Amy I was, " Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you now. " I state darkly.
Every camper present shivers at my tone, I had only gotten this pissed one other time. Only Jason and Gwen had borne witness to that, and from the looks of it Gwen remembered. She was shaking her head as she dove behind Percy, seeking shelter from the explosion of my wrath sure to come.
