Again, thx to those who reviewed! What do you think the camp will think of percy now? Enjoy!
Chapter 8: Reyna
The crowd stared at Percy Jackson, still standing uncomfortably in the middle of the arena. Neptune, a son of Neptune how could this happen? The Big Three had sworn not to have any more children after World War 2. Jason had been born, but now Neptune had broken the oath too? Lupa would probably have something to say about this.
"You are dismissed!" Lupa called to the audience. There were a few calls of, "but isn't he supposed to fight one of us first?" Lupa repeated her message, more forcefully this time, and everybody quieted down and left the stadium.
Percy came up to Lupa, and Reyna followed. Bobby, Dakota, Hazel, Mark, and, Gwen came with her. Lupa spoke to Percy and said. "So, you do not remember your past life before coming here?" Lupa inquired cooly.
Uh-oh. Lupa could be downright intimidating and scary when she wanted to be, and now was one of those times.
"No- no, ma'am Lupa. I would tell someone if I did. All there was was that dream, and that wasn't a memory, more like somebody was trying to guide me to somebody else." Percy replied, but he looked pretty tense.
"And how would it be," Lupa snarled into Percy's face, "that you have survived on your own all these years? You remember nothing of the- the place I questioned you about, though how you got here is a mystery as well."
Reyna and her friends were watching Lupa and Percy like it was a tennis match. "Lupa," Hazel spoke up, "what if somebody took his memory? I mean, those signs when- when Jason le- left..." she trailed off, but everybody but Percy knew what she was talking about. The morning of Jason's disappearance, their oracle, George, who was a son of Apollo, spoke a prophecy about some seven demigods. Also, Juno had sent a peacock feather to land on the porch of Jason's cabin, and written on it in Latin, it said, he is in the hands of the foe who cannot be a foe if you are to survive. What did that mean?
Reyna was roused out of her thoughts when Lupa said softly, "We will speak no more of this. Do not mention it to your cabin mates or anyone else. As for you, Percy, we will decide your legion tomorrow. The campfire for tonight is cancelled." Lupa left for her cave.
Nobody spoke a word as they headed back to their cabins. They spread the word about campfire being cancelled, but nobody said anything else. Percy was moved to the Poseidon cabin. The camp was quiet that night. As Reyna settled in her bunk, her only thoughts were, Where did he learn to fight like that? Who taught him? But mainly, Where did he come from?
