Chapter One

Reyna sat at her desk, drumming her pencil at it ferociously. Her strong eyebrows were knitted as she attempted to read the paper in front of her, but she couldn't concentrate. This didn't happen often, as Reyna's ADHD wasn't very severe, but when it did, Reyna wanted to kill.

Instead of killing, she tried to satisfy her need to move by lying on the fluffy red carpet next to her desk and quickly doing twenty sit ups. Feeling somewhat relieved, Reyna sat back down at her desk and picked up a sharpie. She began reading once again, underlining and circling whatever needed to be underlined and circled when she noticed that her desk was shaking. Looking down, Reyna was surprised to see that she had been thumping her foot relentlessly on the dark wooden floor.

Letting out a frustrated moan, she stood back up and did fifty jumping jacks. At this point, Reyna's heart beat was beginning to increase. That should calm me down, she thought. Looking back down at her body, she realized that she was almost jumping.

Fine, she thought. I know when my ADHD wins. She quickly capped her sharpie and ran into her room, throwing a towel and water bottle along with some gym clothes into a small sack. Picking up her keys, Reyna unlocked the door.

"Argentum, Aurum, I am going to the arena." She called out. Immediately, her two metallic dogs came to bid her goodbye. "I'll be back in an hour, so be good."

The dogs barked, in reply. Reyna took that as a, Don't worry, we will be fine! Smiling, she kissed the two on top of their heads and made her way to the arena.

Leo was bored out of his mind. He looked down at the gadget in his hands and fingered it; tucking some loose wires back in place and melting the solder onto the ends with the tips of his fingers.

He didn't know what to do. The war against Gaea had left Camp Half Blood in ruins. Many demigods were asked to help rebuild it, but when Leo was asked, he politely declined. He couldn't go back there—too many bad memories. Plus, his best friends Jason and Piper decided to stay in New Rome. As Praetors, Percy and Reyna allowed all Greek demigod refugees to stay with them until Camp Half Blood was rebuilt. So until that happened, Leo was stuck here.

New Rome wasn't bad, Leo had made his way through the city within a week, sticking his head at every shop and having coffee at every coffee shop until he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for a month. But it all came down to the atmosphere. The Romans weren't very… festive, and Leo wanted nothing more than to get high on sugar and spend the rest of the night making things explode.

"Hey man!" The greeting jerked Leo out of his thoughts and caused his hands to light up, destroying the thingamabob in his hands as he did. Whirling around, Leo found himself looking at his best friend, Jason.

"Ever heard of knocking?" Leo asked, looking around to find out how Jason got into his cubby of a room.

"Ever heard of locking the door?" Jason retorted, falling onto the bed opposite Leo's giant leather recliner. "Why'd you buy that thing anyway?" He asked of the recliner, changing the topic.

"It's comfortable and it holds my coffee." Leo replied with a grin, "And I may have rigged it with weapons. Just in case someone walks into my room and scares me out of my FREAKING MIND! Look at what you did;" he showed off the burnt piece of metal in his hand, "it was going to create world peace."

"Right…" Jason said, "So, Piper is with Hazel doing some girl thing… I was thinking. We don't really hang out anymore. Want to—"

"Yes!" Leo jumped out of his seat, "My brain is melting, and I haven't done anything interesting in days."

"You didn't even hear what I wanted to do!" Jason replied.

"Doesn't matter! I'm going." Leo hopped around his room, pulling a sneaker out from under his bed and the other from on top of his closet. After planting his feet in both, he turned to Jason. "I'm ready."

"Don't you want to change or something?" Jason asked. Leo looked down at his grey t-shirt and jeans. They were clean, except for the oil stains. Scratching his head Leo said, "I think I'm good."

The tall blond just rolled his eyes. "Fine, let's go."
