"Never in a million years did I ever think I was going to be fighting a war. Never in a BILLION years was I thinking it was against Roman Camp. Then again. never did I know that there was a Greek Camp out there. And that people are so protective of their camps! Honestly! Its just a camp. Never did I know who insanely mad the Romans were at the Greek for some crazy eidolon for firing a missile. ANd Seriously ean OCD about Greeks. Geez the Greeks didn't even know the Romans existed until like what a year ago? And what do the Romans want to do now? Hmmm? They want to tear down Camp Half-Blood, raze the ground so no one can live there, and then hey want to kill every single one of them. Man, all i know is that this Camp is going to make the four cohorts get a run for their money.
"Hey Bro, you don't look too good, what's on your mind?" Leo looked at me really seriously in the eye. I looked at Leo, I never saw him so serious, it was actually kind of creepy. "Come on man, you can tell me, I won't tell anybody." He pleaded with his eyes. and it actually for some weird reason worked, considering he was my age.
"Its the fact the Romans want to tear this camp down, burn its fields and trees, and kill everyone. Its so ruthless and mean and cruel! I mean honestly, they should learn somethiing from us here. We can be as silly and as funny as we want, and still be able to beat em. Splat! Their a grease spot. The believed that people were better than others, and to treat the people below you like poop. It just is mind blowing. Here You can obviously tell who the leaders are. They don't pick on the weak, they give special attention to them. So they get stronger. I just wish, that we can show them that they are all wrong. And that, it doesn't matter if your weak or strong, as long as you have heart and pride. Its not all about the outside, its about the inside too." Frank stoppoed and looked at Leo, who turned away from him, "Did I bore you or something."
"No man, that was beatuiful," Leo said looking at him, his eyes were a little wattery. My eyes widened. "Jason wants someonoe to say a speech after this quote quote battle thing whatever, you should say it! After all you were one of the people who were brought up right? No one deserves this more than you." Leo said smiling. "We better go, its almost time for the battle to begin. You know where you are supposed to go right?"
"I kinda forgot," I said scratching my head.
"Well lucky you, cause commander Leo is here with the Battle plan in his hand!" Leo said.
"You mean you have the paper with you?"
"Nope its on my palm pilot!" Leo exclaimed showing his hand and arm. It was covered in tiny scrawl with the entire battle plan written there. "It doesn't say, you finished leading your crew and built all the traps and land mines. I say take your force, which I am presuming is the Ares cabin? Well, take them and guard the camp. Remember, you have to do whatever you can to stop them. From destroying the cabins. Some of em are new, like the Hecate cabin and the Hades cabin. Those were just built after the second titan war, like around a year ago. Especially the Hecate cabin cuz apparently in construction if one of those bricks got trapped, everyone was a incinerated or b turned into a tree. In a one mile radius. So yeah, thats where I would be if i were you," Leo finished his super long lecture.
"Wait what, incinerated or turned into a tree?" Frank said
"Thats what Malcolm told me, and he heard from Annabeth, who heard from Percy who heard from Tyson." Leo said. A conch shell blew. "It's time to go to our positions, I think the Romans have started the invasion. I gotta get to the magnet and turn it on,"
"Wait, one second," I said pulling out my Imperial Gold centurian medal.
"What is this?" Leo took a look at it, "Oh no, I can't take this," he tried to wave it away.
"Start up your magnet. The faster it gets to the swords, the faster this will get over," I said.
"I'll make sure this comes back," Leo said taking a snap of the medal, "If it doesn't I'm gonna make you one thats bigger with celestial bronze and imperial gold laid with gems. If it doesn, who cares, you deserve on like that Zhang," With a wave, he tucked the medal safely in a pouch with a zipper, button, and a lock then turned and ran towards the Rock Lava walls.
