Hazel
The Senate meeting was well exciting all of the one's so far since Percy arrived had been exciting but this one was what in 2nd place for starters Percy gave Jason his rightful place in the Praetor's chair. What had he said about it?
"It doesn't feel right sitting here while you're around besides that chair doesn't have a recliner." Percy had told Jason.
"No, man look you got elected Praetor it should be an honor too sit there." Jason said.
"Really take it I have to wear a toga while everybody is looking at me in that chair if I uncross my legs it's not going to be pretty." Percy said.
"I guess but wait you telling me you're not wearing anything under there."
"Oh I am but still I don't want to take any chances."
"Fine but let me tell you this there is a recliner a button on the back of it feels so good if you can also find the massage button."
"Whatever just go take your seat."
Then Octavian started talking saying that the Greeks were bad they did this they were schemers. But Hazel knew better she had been talking with a couple of Percy's friends and none of them struck her as terribly bad people. Like for instance Piper or Annabeth or Leo she had at least talked with each of them once & they all looked concerned about what was happening at both camps. She was about to speak up for them when Frank who had been oddly quiet spoke for her.
"Octavian listen Percy is a Greek did he ever do something to attack us. Oh and while they have been here have they done anything bad I don't think so. What else can I say Octavian forget the whole they're bad concept just forget it we have other things to worry about like who's coming with us in the Argo II, nice name by the way." Frank said.
"I for one agree with Frank on everything except the name part couldn't you name it the 'Beast Mother Warship' that's a better name just saying." Percy said.
"Frank here is right but I have one thing to say you wanted to have 100 Romans come this is what I have to say 'bout that I decree that only the 7 go on to Rome then Greece it is obviously you're prophecy maybe we can take some others that are also important like you're Oracle but none other than those." Reyna said.
"Okay but we will have to go to Camp Half-Blood to leave the others off." Annabeth said.
"Agreed." Percy said along with Jason.
"No, NO! That is not going to happen not on my watch I bet all the Gods of Olympus believe." Octavian shouted.
"Octavian be quite." Hazel said. "We are not here to see you get mad like a little kid if you want to keep yelling go outside because I speak for most of us here you have finally lost it you deserve to go to Tartarus or The Fields of Punishment."
"Just as much as you did, Hazel Levesque that's right this little girl right here comes from the Underworld she was supposed to be dead she also deserved The Fields of Punishment you helped raise the giant Alcyoneus you're mother was possessed by Gaea but you were too scared to stand up to Gaea. Alcyoneus would have awoken sooner if it wasn't for you destroying the place you were reviving him in then Gaea would have already ruled the world." Octavian said spilling out her secret she had only told Percy & Frank.
"Look it wasn't her fault her mother was scaring her she wasn't indenting to raise Alcyoneus." Percy said.
But it didn't matter right after Octavian said that Hazel was forced to leave the Senate House. Frank tried to comfort her after the Senate meeting was over he told Hazel everyone stood up for her except for Octavian & his followers. Even Annabeth & Percy came to the barracks to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter the important thing is you're alive now it was you're destiny you are needed in this quest this life is worth it." Annabeth said.
Just then their Oracle Rachel Elizabeth Dare came in spewing green smoke. Annabeth told Frank to hurry up and get a chair while she and Percy ran up to catch Rachel. Then after she sat down she spoke,
"You will travel all the way to Rome.
And there leave you're ship all alone.
Wisdom's daughter walks alone.
The Mark of Athena burns through.
Travel to the cage of eternal darkness.
And find the light from the Gods golden crest."
On the lat word Rachel collapsed with Percy and Annabeth ready to catch her.
