The Mark of Athena A/N: Thank you to everyone who added me to story alert/ reviewed. Disclaimer: I don't own PJATO (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) or HOO (Heroes of Olympus.)

Annabeth:

"Yes, let's decide the seven that are going to be going on the quest." Reyna said gravely.

"Obviously, Percy, Hazel and Frank should go. They brought the legion's eagle back!" shouted one of the Senators.

"Yes, I've given it a lot of thought and they do have to go." Reyna said.

"Well, I nominate Jason, Piper and Leo to go on this quest." I said

"Okay, we just need to know why they deserve to go." Reyna said.

"Yeah, um. 8 months ago I woke up on a school bus with Piper and Leo. They both seemed to know me, but I hadn't seen them ever before that day. This guy named Dylan turned out to be a Ventus. And a faun named Coach Hedge helped me to defeat him…"

Jason launched into the story about how Leo had fallen off a cliff and Coach Hedge had rescued him, then Dylan wanted to bring one of the demigods with him, to his mistress. How Butch and I had taken them to Camp Half – Blood – Percy cringed at the mention of home-, then how he, Piper and Leo had gone on a quest to defeat Enceladus, the bane of Athena, and rescue Hera, the queen of the heavens.

"And that's why I think we three should go." Jason finished.

"Okay, obviously you three should go." Said Reyna

"But what about the last member of the quest?" asked another Senator.

"Annabeth should go. She's a daughter of Athena, that would definitely help with the strategy of defeating monsters and because I've completed 3 quests with her. She's the best person in the world to keep us from messing up… Plus, on our way to Alaska, we found a prophecy that said "Wisdom's daughter walks alone, the Mark of Athena burns through Rome." Notice how it specifically says: The Mark of ATHENA burns through Rome." not Minerva, the Roman goddess. And how it says "Wisdom's DAUGHTER walks alone." Annabeth is the only daughter of Athena that is at camp." Percy said.

His eyes were brimming with tears because the prophecy is most likely about me.

"Praetor, if I may, there are only 3 roman soldiers on this quest! That cannot be allowed!" Octavian bellowed loudly.

"Octavian, we have very solid evidence that these demigods are the best to go on this quest," Reyna said tiredly "If I were you I would shut up and sit down."

"Fine." Octavian grumbled and sat down.

"Alright. Then it's decided. The Seven demigods will meet with me in my office. The rest of you are dismissed." Reyna said.

Percy ran over saying "I'm sorry I had to tell you that prophecy but that was the only way to let them now that you are vitally important to this quest."

"Wow. I've never heard you say 'vitally', I'm impressed." I said, teasing.

"Oh shut up." He grinned at me. "C'mon, let's catch up to the others."

We jogged along, partially because the others where WAY ahead of us, partially because we didn't want to be late, again.

"There's a reason we have brought you guys here," Reyna said "Before the Senate meeting I found out Octavian is a spy for Gaea." This information didn't surprise me. I knew that that guy was really power- hungry, and that whenever given the chance, he would accuse the Greeks of being spies for Gaea. He really reminded me of Luke, when he turned evil.

"Octavian was gutting a panda and said: 'Praise to Gaea! The Greeks and Romans will continue to be friends until I interfere!' I know that because I was going to the Senate house earlier and I heard him say that." Reyna said.

"So what are we going to do about it?" I said. Because, as always, I was the first one to get over the shock of any disturbing news. Frank, Hazel and Jason were staring at Reyna while their mouths were gaping at her, their expressions mixed with disbelief, awe, and shock.

"Guys, it's true. I swear on the River Styx." Said Reyna. (A/N: Do Romans swear on the River Styx?)

Percy nodded. "Yeah, she told me right after she saw it happen."

"I believe you guys. I've known that weird Octavian was power hungry." said Piper.

Reyna looked over at her, "How do you know that? You haven't even been here a day. 'Course it doesn't take long to know that, but still."

"Um, it's kind of something children of Aphrodite can do, because we sometimes can charmspeak people so I guess that's why we can read other people's emotions." Piper explained.

"I never knew Aphrodite kids could do that." said Percy.

"Yeah, well, very few Aphrodite kids can charmspeak, so maybe that's why."

'And because he's a Seaweed Brain'. I thought, laughing inside.

Jason, Hazel and Frank unfroze, but still seemed unable to talk.

"Yeah, so, that's pretty much all I needed to tell you guys. Oh and when do you plan to leave for the quest?" Reyna asked.

Leo had been staring at Reyna, sort of practically drooling, but not saying anything, which is VERY unlike him.

Leo cleared his throat and said "The Argo II needs to get some fuel and some touch- ups to the engine. We could leave by tomorrow, maybe."

"Tomorrow when?" asked Reyna
"Evening probably." Leo replied.

"We ARE going to Camp Half- Blood right?" Percy asked worriedly.

"Yeah, don't worry, Percy, we'll need to stock up on supplies and stuff." Leo said

"Ok. I need to get home." Percy said with a hint of longing in his voice.

"We'll stay for maybe 2 or 3 days, Percy, you can catch up with your MOM and friends." I said.

"Dammit! Mom's going to kill me!" he exclaimed.

I laughed. "Yup. She's been worried sick about you. You might want to Iris message her."

"You bet I will."

"Ok, you are all dismissed." Reyna said.

"Bye, Reyna." we all said.

I thought that maybe for at least a day we would get peace and quiet. Boy, was I wrong.
