After I explained my dream, we all became incredibly scared.
"Ouranos is alive?" Alexis asked, while tapping her fingers on her leg, which was a nervous habit of hers.
"I don't think he's alive yet, but I can't be sure," I replied.
"Did you get a full prophecy?" Nico asked.
"No, my dream started after it was revealed." I replied. "Regardless, Percy said that we should get to Camp Jupiter as soon as possible."
"If we go as fast as we did yesterday, we can get to Camp Jupiter by nightfall," Nico said.
I woke up Chris and Jessica and we checked out of the hotel. We grabbed McDonald's for breakfast, which was suggested by Nico, and continued west. We drove for about 5 hours before we approached a major accident just inside of Idaho, which caused bumper-to-bumper traffic for a few hours, setting our schedule way behind. We would probably be in north-east California by the time we would have to stop for the night. I still didn't understand why I needed sleep if I was a god, but I didn't have any control over it, so I would just give in to my human needs until I figured out how to control them. We stopped in Sacramento for the night. Camp Jupiter was only a few hours away, so we started driving over there in the morning. A roadblock forced us to go through a densely wooded area on a one lane road. I noticed that the cars became less and less frequent. Based on my past experiences, I couldn't afford to believe in coincidences. My suspicion was confirmed when a wolf ran into the middle of the road, causing Nico to swerve off the road. We tumbled into a shallow river, our car now rendering useless, we had to fight the wolves.
"Werewolves?" I asked/shouted towards Nico.
"Guess we'll find out," he shouted back as we pulled Jessica and Chris out of the car. Alexis equipped her sword, ready to kill some wolves. Nico pulled a pocketknife that Reyna gave to him and I turned a dial on my watch and it turned into my sword. Chris went to charge, but I held him back.
"Your sword won't hurt them, only silver can," I explained to him. He looked disappointed, but he waited by the car with Jessica.
"I'll guard the kids," Nico shouted. "You and Alexis take out the wolves." Me and Alexis went up by the road to confront the wolves. We looked at the wolves and saw about six or seven, nothing we couldn't handle. It was when another dozen appeared from the forest that I had doubts we would get out of this alive. The first wolf lunged at Alexis and she cut it in half immediately. Unfortunately, killing them wouldn't be that easy. They started surrounding us slowly, and far away enough to where we couldn't swipe at them. Although I really didn't have to, I struck the ground with the tip of my sword and sent a shockwave toward the pack of wolves, knocking them backwards. I willed the winds to raise me on top of an unsuspecting wolf and put my sword though its mane as I fell to the ground. Sure enough, the energy was enough to disintegrate the wolf on the spot. I swung my sword in a large arc, taking out three more wolves. I glanced back at Alexis and saw that she was holding her own. She was taking out wolf after wolf. She really hated those things. I handed the reins back to my fighting instincts and after a few minutes of stabbing, swiping, and exploding wolves, we had killed all of the wolves.
"Did we just take out an entire pack of werewolves?" I asked Alexis..
"Yep," she replied, obviously proud of her feat. We went to check on Nico and thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
"Two wolves attacked us, we're fine though," Nico informed us.
"How are we getting to Camp?" I asked.
"I think we could walk and make it within an hour," Nico answered. We put our swords away and began walking towards Camp Jupiter.
"We'll be there soon, and we still haven't run into Lupa," Nico stated. "Unless they are making exceptions, you guys might be on probatio until you're claimed."
"Well, I'm already claimed, but what about Eric?" Alexis asked. I didn't even think of that. With both of my godly parents being unable to claim me, I don't know what would happen to me.
"I guess we'll find out once we're there," I replied.
"Who do you think my daddy is?" Jessica asked.
"I couldn't know for sure," I replied. "But, based on how you look, you could be a daughter of Poseidon."
Her eyes lit up. "Really?" she asked eagerly.
"We'll find out once we get to Camp Jupiter," I replied.
Nico nudged me about a half and hour later and said, "We're very close, I can feel it. You may want to turn into a 15 year old or something."
I nodded and imagined myself as a 15 year old. About two minutes later, we approached a highway with a door between the two lanes being guarded by two teenage girls, one with a bow and the other with a gladius. They spotted us and I waved.
"How are we getting across the highway?" Chris asked. There were cars flying by at 70 miles one after the other, so there was no way we were running across. I had an idea.
I grabbed Chris tightly and told him, "hold on," as I flew above the highway and dropped him in the median. I motioned for him to stay put and went across to get Jessica. I repeated the cycle until everyone was across, though I don't think Nico was thrilled with me carrying him bridal style across a highway. I think he mentioned something about how Piper dealt with Jason flying her around 24/7. The guards were nearly frozen in shock by what just took place. To them, they probably just saw 5 demigods, three of which were presumably children of the big three, appear on their doorstep. Nico walked over and greeted the girls.
"I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, nice to meet you," he said with a smirk.
The girl on the left shook his hand and asked, "and who are they?"
Nico pointed at us and said," The older girl is Alexis, daughter of Aphrodite, the older guy is Eric, Alexis' brother and I think he's a son of Jupiter, the younger guy is Chris, not sure who his parent is, and same goes for the smaller girl, Jessica." Nico took a deep breath and asked, "So, may we enter?" Nico asked.
Although she looked overwhelmed and nervous, the girl on the right motioned for us to enter the now open door. As I entered the door, the girl on the left winked at me, which earned a glare from Alexis. Before today, I had never seen New Rome in person. There was no denying that it was beautiful, especially from my view overlooking the entire city. With my sharpened sense of sight, I could clearly see demigods going about their daily lives like there wasn't a monster in the world. And to think I would I might live like that one day immediately calmed my nerves. We approached Camp Jupiter and as we approached, we saw Reyna and Frank approach in their Praetor outfits. That was when I realized that I had met Frank at Camp Half-Blood only two years ago. All I could do was hope that he didn't recognize me. As we approached the Little Tiber, I became even more nervous. When Percy told me the story about how he came to Camp Jupiter, he mentioned that his Achilles' Heel prevented him from entering New Rome. However, when I stepped into the Tiber, I didn't feel any different. I felt very relieved as we approached the praetors.
"Hello demigods," Reyna greeted us. "Welcome to Camp Jupiter, let us show you around."

During the tour, Chris and Jessica had looks of utter excitement on their faces. There was no doubt that I had the same look on my face.

"And that's the entrance to New Rome, any questions?" Frank asked. We shook our heads.

"If that's the case, the cohorts are ready to choose you," Reyna continued.

As we were walking over to the barracks, Nico and Reyna began speaking to each other.

"So, it's nearly time for you to retire, eh?" Nico asked.

"Yep, just two more months and I'm done with being praetor," she replied.

"Good, you're getting way too old for this," he replied, earning a punch on the shoulder from Reyna. We arrived at the barracks, where the entire twelfth legion was separated into five cohorts. Alexis stepped up first.

"Alexis (you thought you were getting a last name?), daughter of Venus and legacy of Apollo," Reyna stated. As she finished speaking, every cohort except for first and second stepped forward. Alexis quickly walked over towards three and joined the third cohort. Chris stepped up next.

"Chris Paulson, unclaimed," Frank stated. The fourth and fifth cohort stepped up. Chris quickly ran over towards fourth cohort.

Jessica then stepped up.

"Jessica Brunner, unclaimed," Reyna stated. Upon seeing that no one else stepped up, the fifth cohort stepped up sluggishly. Jessica skipped over to the fifth cohort and I stepped up.

"Eric (You still aren't getting a last name), unclaimed," Frank shouted. Much to my surprise, every cohort excluding the first stepped up. I was about to choose when Frank added, "Claims to be a son of Jupiter," The second and third cohorts immediately backed down while snickering. I shrugged and began to walk over towards fifth cohort.

Right before I reached the cohort, I looked at the second cohort and shouted, "Also, I don't lie," I promptly sent a small lightning bolt towards the second and third cohort, setting their shoes on fire. The first cohort immediately stepped up. I looked over at them and gave them a thumbs down and a shrug as I entered the fifth cohort. The cohorts had already looked surprised at my powers, but even Nico had a surprised look on his face. He pointed above my head with his shaking finger. I looked above my head to see a lightning bolt symbol. Unless this was the symbol of Ouranos, I was thoroughly confused. Ouranos wasn't able to claim me, considering he was essentially dead, and Zeus wasn't going to claim me after what I did to him. However, I had to play along if I wanted to keep up the charade if I wanted to keep my secret.

I looked above me and said, "Told you so," and walked into the cohort.
