"Bear patiently, my heart - for you have suffered heavier thing"- Homer, author of the Iliad and Odyssey.

"Incensos Boy! Stop!" Sira sang, Percy forced himself off of me, Sira held to him. Then held his hand tightly. I got up and back away, he glared at me his beautiful green eyes were angry and raged. Carlina stepped forward, and then Percy's glance softened.

"I saw you in a dream…I-"He collapsed, Pearl cried out. It was the first time I had ever seen her cry, her eyes pooling with tears. Jason wrapped an arm around Piper who dug her face into his shirt; Leo made a move to Pearl she just shook her head. Carlina sat down next to him; he slowly opened his glazed eyes. Then shook his head weakly, it killed me to see him that way… I wanted to save him I really did. But I didn't know how to. Carlina touched him and instantly he became with realization for a second then the look dull look returned. He saw us for the first time it seemed. "Your name…its Cartivalica. You…have the same Dad as me…I don't know what they keep calling me, but it's a demigod. I know you it seems…I don't remember anything, I'm sorry." He looked especially at Annabeth who was crying, but I remained dry eyed my heart ached, but nothing hit me, I was numb… He didn't know me, and I didn't know him…

"That's right, that's my Greek name, my Roman name is Carlina." She took his hand and alertness came into his eyes once more. Choron, the centaur stood in the corner then came out of his stealthy stance. I saw that he looked a lot like Chiron, his eyes were a light brown, but his were cold, his chin was without a beard, he looked a lot older then thirty, but you could see he still probably was. But the most disturbing thing about him, was his stare, it sent shivers down any person's spine. He took a hard cold arm and wrapped it around Jason's shoulder, he looked at Carlina.

"We want Cartivalica, this is her true home. I raised her by my own hands; Jason will be also staying with us. You can have the boy; he is of no use to us."

"No use to you! Do you know what he did? He saved your fucking life! You hear me, you were here probably drinking ambrosia and Percy saved your lazy asses!" Annabeth screamed, Rodney cheered her on, while Grover stood in the corner trembling along with Tyson, who looked so sad. I turned away trying to wake up from this depressing dream. But it wasn't a dream, Carlina looked at Jason.

"You think it was just you? You think it was just my idiot brother's camp, well it wasn't! I helped those damn gods too! In our own way we sent waves to you, the titans also attacked us! Jason knows himself. If you want to argue with me look at your own friend." Choron snapped.

"You're not taking him away!" Piper snapped, her voice echoing.

"Charm speak does not work on me, young godling. Every demigod here is defended by their training; you probably are not as skilled as them though. But since Jason won't leave without your consent then maybe someone else's will. Reyna will you please come in, Jason's here." She wasn't at all what I expected; she was gorgeous, like drop dead gorgeous, like almost as hot as Carlina gorgeous. She looked like a model, she had beautiful Russian cheek bones, pale skin, with cherry red lips, her teeth were straight and white, her hair was long and a whitish blond, but her eyes…they were something else. They could have made anyone jealous, for even though in most contexts they would have freaked a normal person, a demigod was usually attracted by this. Her eyes glimmered, in her irises were six different colors all surrounding the pupil, purple, pink, yellow, green, blue, and a beautiful shade of scarlet. Jason saw her and his gaze became filled with something that he had never showed his bright blue eyes showed love for this girl. She wore a ripped tank-top over a Beatles T-Shirt. Her shorts were very short, but her legs were muscled well, and long and strong.

"Reyna…" Her eyes like a great actress filled with sadness and sorrow.

"Jason, I…" She broke down, Jason ran to her and swept her up and held her close to him. They shared a kiss, and that was all it took for Piper to burst into something I had never seen, because she Leo and her both knew that the relationship with Pearl was just something, that was meant for jealousy, a fling. She released a tear that sparkled and radiated with power. Jason hardly noticed as she ran out the room. But the chemistry between Reyna and Jason was amazing…like something that was right out of a love story. Nyx obviously disgusted by the love scene and loving emotions turned away. She looked to Nico, who obviously had once would have felt the same way, but he was staring at the green eyed beauty Carlina, who seemed to be the only calm one in all of it. She looked at Percy her eyes meeting his, and then shock and sorrow filled his eyes, then pain. He let out a yelp and held his head in his hands, alert went up. "Percy!" We all screamed, but Carlina couldn't even help him, he finally raised his head. Then got up and sighed,

"I came close, but got nothing." I crouched next to Carlina, she gripped his hand tightly. But I saw that blue was radiating under their locked fingers, she was trying to feed him her own power to give him memories. Percy looked at me his green eyes filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry…I lately haven't been able to control myself. No one answers me… No one understands what it's like to feel out of place. No one hears me, I'm lost."

"It's okay, but someone else might want an apology." I said saying my eyes showing remorse and mercy.

"Annabeth?" He called, "I'm sorry…it was wrong of me. I know I should remember you…But I can't I'm so sorry…" He looked true sorrow at her tear stained face, her rocky eyes, and dirty clothes. "I've tried countless days, but you…it's only you." He gestured to Carlina. Annabeth stepped forward, Carlina let go of his hand and stepped away. Annabeth took Percy's hand, and then looked him square in the eye. Her knowledge made her beautiful.

"Your name is Percy, your seventeen. Your father is the Greek god, Poseidon. You have the ability to control the oceans, the sea creatures, the untamable waves, and…my heart. I'm your girlfriend, but you don't have to remember me…it's just you went on so many great quests, defeated Kronos…you don't remember any of that?" Percy looked at her with shock, and then it sank in.

"You mean like I killed that guy!" He exclaimed, pointing to a digital picture that shined on the wall of Kronos.

"Yeah…that's amazing. What material is that…what is that I wonder? What powers that? How many circuits are entangled in the glass, there are probably like ten resistors in there. Oh wow that's amazing." Annabeth went on and on about the digital picture on the wall. Percy already looked amazed by her once more… I turned away, Phoenix stood in the corner his eyes shaded by the dark of corner. Percy got up and grabbed Annabeth held her there for a moment.

"Was I a good kisser?" Annabeth stopped blabbering and turned and looked at him, she slowly nodded. He pulled her closer then they kissed. It was weirdest sensation I ever felt.

"Dude!" Grover snapped. Rodney pushed him out of the way,

"Annabeth come on sweetie, show him the French kiss!" I pushed them both out of the way. Smiling, it was good Percy didn't hold back, I'm glad we had found him. But there was still the matter of this whole switch thing. Jason stood still in embrace with Reyna.

"Reyna, what daughter of whom are you?" I asked her rather snotty.

"Venus." She answered without even glancing at me, but her accent was strongly Russian. I cocked my head strangely,

"Jason, you uh maybe have forgotten the matter of Piper, she's totally into you. You were into her a few moments ago, if I remember correctly." Reyna pulled away her eyes flashing with hurt.

"What! There is another girl!" She held back tears, and then started to swear in Russian at him, she slapped him across the face. Then went to the door and unsheathed her glittering Gladius and then jabbed it him, then marched out of the room. Jason looked at me angrily.

"You idiot! You actually want Reyna more then Piper! Wow, that just goes to show how stupid you actually are. You have no idea how she feels about you, do you? You just think she'll get over you don't you? Well let me tell you something, she's not. She never will. She's in love with you, and you're so stupid to realize it! Piper's beautiful, smart, elegant, and a little rude, a vegan, one my favorite words… and the girl is braver then some of guys back at Camp Half Blood. You idiot! Gods…" I swept my hair and walked out of the room to Choron, and then tapped my foot; I realized that whole thing back there was not me… at all! I would have never exploded on Jason that way, it wasn't me. Maybe I was becoming my Roman self.

"You think you're the only minor god who has ever tried to get past into Roman territory. You're wrong, you may be replacing Faunus, but keep in mind you will never be like the other gods. They will never accept you. You have to give us Cartivalica and Jason, we need them both desperately."

"Why? So you can uprise and uh maybe take over Camp Half Blood, 'cause I'm pretty sure, I could kill you… Right now, right here."

"Such a pretty little goddess you are. You have many talented gifts, perfect for a wielding the power of Faunus, but you are different, aren't you? You came to Olympus to save the Earth, and what did Jupiter do to you? He denied that you were the powerful demigod, didn't he? You could have come to me and I would have already known you were Faunus's daughter. I don't deny powerful half bloods. But you were first a human with a soul, you have better judgment then all the gods on Olympus, I know you do. Then you killed that horrible beastly girl, you saved Earth once more. Then what did you do? You still…you still went back to the source. You should have had a page in the history books for that. I don't know anyone who can do the things you do, Miss. Rondervin."

"Try not to state the obvious." I said and walked down the stairs of the great glass tower, and out the door, I found that much like Camp Half Blood, Grey Stone had archery courts, and a clearing in the woods for campfires. But no one played or laughed, there were grunts and demanding shouts coming off in the distance. A boy almost got his head chopped off by a monster's claw. But no one helped him. He was dark skinned and had dark brown eyes; he dodged the monsters claw once more. I was in shock the boy was about to be slain but all the demigods did was watched amused. I screamed, and leapt over the column and raced to the boy, he breathed heavily. I rose my hand and the monster stopped straight in its tracks. The boy turned and saw me for the first time.

"Penelope…" He said his voice breaking and his sadness lingered in his eyes.

"Oh Jake!" I flung my arms around him, he sobbed into my shirt. The other demigods looked at me and the dead monster that had killed itself. My brother was in my arms in the Roman Camp, he cried my name and mom's. But he eventually looked me straight in the eyes.

"I'm sorry…Fiona lied to me. She lied to me…I never meant any of those things, Penelope. I never did." I held him close.

"I know Jake…I know."

"Yo who the heck are ya? Some pretty little new demigod with incredible strength? Or somethin, it's not good to mess with a demigod's only entertainment." The black boy unsheathed a long red sword made with the symbol of the Roman Empire.

"For your information, you lay one hand on me you all die. You understand? I'm a goddess, this is my little brother. I can all trust you all have logic, and won't be messing with the wrong side of me, can't I?" I asked simply. The boy broke into a grin and thumbs up.

"Name's Dakota and these are my friends: Gwendolyn, Hazel, and Bobby." Three other boys jumped down beside them, they smiled at her in tight forced smiles.

"Nice to meet you, well all of you." I studied each of the boys, Dakota was very dark, but his eyes were a laughing brown. His hair was matted down to the top of his head. Gwendolyn looked like a mix between a very confused Harry Potter, and the prosecutor at a prison ward. His eyes were an alert light blue and his brown hair was cropped closely to his head much like Dakota's, but his facial expression was priceless a real goofy grin and crooked teeth. But he had a long bow swung over his shoulder. I decided it was better not to mess with the guy. Hazel was exactly what his name stated, hazel. His eyes a ferocious hazel, much like my mother's, he could have seen through my soul if he wanted. His hair was buzzed, but you could see the remaining bit's of hazelnut coming in a bit. His skin paler but that even had a bit of a hazel tint to it. Bobby was Mexican, his black hair also buzzed and his eyes were the deepest brown. But his shirt was off, his abdomen was so distracting. His biceps were pumped with muscles. I glared at them, feeling my breath slip away. Bobby smiled and moved his bicep upward, showing off his impressive arm strength. I smiled impressed; I wrapped my arm around Jake.

"So you're the Dakota, Jason always talks about?" Dakota's eyes widened, and he broke into a happy.

"Jason's here! Dude, we've been searching for him for like ever. Where is he? Dude I could kill him he still owes me from my sandwich he stole, yo." I laughed, Reyna came running at Dakota. Cussing in fierce Latin, her tongue still had a hint of Russian. She snapped in his hear, he swore back at her in Latin. Then grabbed her arm and kicked her to ground, she yelled and leapt up and twisted her hip and then pulled her swore out, and whipped it at him. As it flew through the air, I pulled Jake down to the ground with me. Then held him there until the blade was safely back in Reyna's hand.

"Reyna calm down…what the hell is wrong with you gurl?"

"Fascination meus stultus est et stupri nunquam potest pendere a vita! Non etiam cognoscam, cur vexas ... Dakota sit alius ... quod Hore, Piper. Nescio quid vidit in ea forma non ars quaecumque aut pugnando? Habuimus ... amicos dum memini et scis quid me meminisse hen't. ... ego odi eum ego odi eum ego odi eum ...!"

"Reyna, you don't, we all know you don't. Now stop it." Dakota said his tongue becoming strongly twisted with Latin.

"No .. dextra. Utinam non esses. Jason Amor omnibus gratia magna mei asinum corde. Im tam mutum. ... EGO vere sum habeo facultatem ingenium. Mirum est ut diligat Deum non illam damnare multa. Odi mea, poteras incidere wrist aeris coelestis nunc et damno causam volui super per vitae. Iustus iuguolo mihi nunc, quaeso Dakota."

"Stop saying that. You started saying that when he left. Look Penelope's a god. There's no use trying to hide what your saying. Just come out and say it. Gods damn your so tempramental." He exclaimed, Bobby said something in her ear and she laughed through her rainbow tears. I looked away, why was I even trying to act like I knew she was saying? I walked away and found Phoenix talking with the counselor to Apollo.

"Dude, Apollo too?" The boy exclaimed.

"Yeah man!"

"Alright!" They chest bumped, the other kid had to rub his chest. But Phoenix was so strong, he probably banged the poor kid up. I walked up to him and he saw me surely enough. He gave me a small smile. I gestured for him to follow me for a second. He hesitated then followed.

"I'm sorry." I said, it was quiet and Jake ownly had the guts to say the next thing.

"Your going to end like that?" It was the same question that was running through both of our minds.
