DJ
As if DJ's day wasn't weird enough, what with the griffin attack and finding out she was half-god, then a talking statue blows up a firepit and shouts something apparantly pretty freaky.
Rome is dead.
"Terminus, what do you mean by 'Rome is dead'?" Asked Chiron.
"What do you think it means?!" The statue, Terminus, exclaimed frantically, "New Rome has been sacked! Defeated! Destroyed!"
One girl in the amphitheater stood up. "Is Jason okay?" She asked worriedly.
"The praetors, Jason and Reyna, were both taken captive, as was most of New Rome's citizens." Terminus explained, "Jupiter only knows what has become of them."
The campers all started asking questions at once. Chiron had to pound his hooves on the ground for a good five minutes to calm them all down. "Do you know who might have done this to Camp Jupiter?" He asked.
Terminus thought for a moment. "Well, I assumed they were demigods, but I'm not sure which god they belong to. They all had powers unlike I've seen. And then there were these awful creatures that had gems for eyes. Ooooh, it was awful, but I'm not sure what force could be behind it."
"Demititans." Everyone turned to Logan when he said it. "It was the demititans. Your camp is in the bay area right? The demititans' base is Mount Tam, so it would be easy for them to stage an attack on Camp Jupiter from there."
For a while no one spoke. If DJ remembered correctly she knew that in Greek mythology the titans were the ultimate bad guys for the gods, but she never knew they had children of their own. Chiron finally spoke up. "If this is true, then the threat of these demititans is much greater than we thought before. It could be just a matter of time before they come to try and attack us."
Mr. D, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up. "Enough of this talk of demititans and the destruction of Camp Jupiter! This campfire is supposed to be fun for Zeus's sake!" If Logan was right about everyone hating Mr. D, then their hatred grew about ten times when he said that. He went on. "Look, um, Terminator is it?"
"No, but I like the sound of that."
"Whatever, look you can stay here with us as long as you need. We'll try to work all this out. Now, campers, it is about time for bed so everyone head back to your cabins before I turn you all into dolphins!" DJ didn't know if he was kidding or not, but she decided not to test him.
Chiron gave her a room in the Hermes cabin for the night. Eventually, even after all the excitement of that day, DJ fell asleep.
All night she dreamed of a boy with blonde hair and a purple shirt being tortured in a cave. DJ was extremely glad to wake up the next day.
