Chapter 15: Hazel
Hazel sat at the table with Piper, Leo, Jason, Annabeth, and Percy across from her. The Praetors were there too, along with the assisting cabin heads (2nd and 3rd in command). So Hazel had been right. There was another place for demigods other than Camp Legion. Except it was for Greek demigods.
Percy had laid some more trust in Hazel and told her about his memories of another place. He always said that the location and more details about where he came from weren't revealing themselves, as if somebody was blocking that information from him. Hazel had been able to deduce that the camps were kept apart because Greeks and Romans were enemies, and she had done some research and learned that they were separated after the Civil War. She also got the sense that Percy hadn't told her everything he had been remembering. She knew that she wouldn't have.
"Lupa," Jason started nervously. "I don't remember everything, but I know why I don't. And I know that Percy doesn't remember his past for the same reason." Percy frowned at Jason at these words, but didn't say anything.
"Gaea is awakening. Her giants are rising. Our separate camps can't fight them separately. Juno switched the camp leaders so that we could learn of each other's existence. She wiped our memories, because if she hadn't both me and Percy would be dead right now, because we are supposed to be enemies. And the camps would stay separated." Jason paused.
"But Jason," Lupa said. "I have already figured this out. At least, where Percy was from. I knew the moment I saw what he was wearing." Percy looked uncomfortable as everybody stared at him, but now he was wearing the purple t-shirt of Camp Legion. Then Annabeth reached into his shirt and pulled out a beaded necklace with four beads on it.
"I always wondered what they meant." Percy whispered. "I never remembered how I got them." He looked at Annabeth, and Hazel noticed that she was wearing a similar necklace, but with more beads and a ring on it. As Hazel looked closer, she realized that four of the beads on their necklaces were the same.
"Anyways," Lupa continued, "I sense that there is another reason that you came here. Not only to retrieve Jackson, but to do something else. What is it?"
The four that had come on the boat exchanged glances, and Hazel suddenly had a bad feeling about something.
"Is it about that prophecy?" she asked before anyone could answer. "The one about the seven demigods?" Hazel looked from one Greek demigod to another, and then to Jason. Meeting her eyes, he slowly nodded.
Lupa sighed. "And you four, along with Percy, are five of the demigods, I suppose?" she asked. Annabeth nodded. "Do you have any clue who the other two will be?"
Jason spoke up. "I think it should be Reyna and Bobby." he said.
Annabeth stared at him. "I thought you didn't remember much about the people here." she questioned, narrowing her eyes.
Jason shrugged uncomfortably. "I don't tell you guys every time I remember something. I think I remember just about as much as Percy. So, technically, my closest friends. Everyone I else I know names and faces, and maybe a little about their personality."
Reyna looked slightly uncomfortable. "I don't know, Jason. Nobody has gone on any quest in the past six months, so I don't know who would be qualified."
Annabeth smiled, a bit sadly, Hazel thought, and said, "Well, the real world is where you find out if you're any good or not, isn't it?"
Percy stared at Annabeth. "You told me that on our first quest, didn't you?" Annabeth nodded, looking happier than ever. Hazel thought that Reyna would be upset that Jason seemed as close to Piper as Percy and Annabeth were, but if she was, she didn't show it.
Reyna sighed. "I suppose I should go." she answered. "Although I really wish we were going to Rome, not Greece."
Leo put up his hands. "Ah, but Rome isn't the birthplace of the gods, now is it? Greece is." he said with a smile.
Reyna opened her mouth to shout, probably something about not insulting her people, then closed it when Hazel said, "Bobby, are you going?"
"Heck yeah!" Bobby replied. "I wouldn't miss this for anything!" Hazel was slightly disappointed, she had wanted to go too, after all. Maybe if Reyna decided not to go...
"Hey, guys." Hazel began. "We have two Vulcan kids and two Minerva kids. Shouldn't there be only one of each god? You could use an archer..." Hazel trailed off, smiling sweetly at Reyna and Bobby.
The last person who Hazel expected to say it said it. "Ha ha ha nice try Hazel. But the more strategists the better." Mark of the Mars cabin was leaning back in his chair leisurely.
"Trust me, I don't think that only us seven are going to save the world. Otherwise, why would Hera make us come to each others camps? I'm sure your help will be needed later on." Piper said, but Hazel got the impression that Piper was only trying to make her feel better.
Hazel turned hopefully towards Bobby anyways, but he shook his head. "I agree with Piper. I'm sorry Haz, it'd be great to have you along, but I'm sure we'll se you soon enough." Hazel sat down resignedly. Annabeth and Piper were giving her sympathetic looks.
"Fine." Hazel announced her defeat. And with that, the meeting ended.
