So...I'm back? Time really flies by when you're life is no longer shackled by it. Hopefully you mortals will like what I have in store, for I have made what you call...an OUTLINE! Mortals never cease to amaze me, this "outline" really helped me keep track of everything and plan new things out easier. Anyways, enjoy!
Previously…
"That voice-" muttered sounds different though. Could it be?
"See? Not that bad, some water, use the blessing of Hestia, add some awesome time powers, and he'll be as good as new. Now I think it's about time you introduce yourself before someone else gets hurt for saying seafoam." joked Percy as he elbowed "him" in the ribs.
Snapping his fingers, three clasps appeared behind his head, which he unlocked as he took off his mask, leaving the Romans in uproar and confusion, even Jason.
"Where have I seen you before?" asked Jason.
"Here! You saw him here Jason! You have nerve to return after thought to be dead for betraying us." growled Reyna.
"What are you doing here you mangy weasel." muttered Frank.
"Whoa, what's going here taco people?" yelled Leo, unheard by everyone.
"You're with the Greeks! How is it that YOU are with the Greeks!" yelled Marcus from afar. "He" looked at all of them calmly before turning to Jason and the rest of the Seven.
"My name is Octavian, former augur of Camp Jupiter, current co-lieutenant of the Deathseekers, and the seventh member of the Great Prophecy."
Now…
"Octavian, I knew you were alive." said Reyna angrily as her eyes bore into his skull. Jason and the others were shocked at the reaction that everyone else had. Reyna was boiling with fury, Frank and Hazel shot looks of detestment towards him, and the rest of the Romans in general just looked completely shocked. What surprised them more was his display of power, following up with his new appearance. He was no longer a scrawny kid with power hungry eyes. He no longer looked power hungry. If anything, he radiated a faint aura of power, and when he looked at Marcus, they could feel his killing intent burn throughout the air. His pale blue eyes were now dark sky blue, like the calm before the storm.
"Tell me then, Reyna Alvarez, how did you know I was alive when the others believed me to be dead?" asked Octavian, staring straight back at Reyna without emotion.
"You underestimate Aurum and Argentum. I didn't even need to them to see that several of your friends were lying for you. So the only question is why did you leave the Legion, which has lead to several monster attacks on us?" questioned Reyna.
"Monster attacks? Stray monsters should not be able to find Camp Ju-"
"They're not stray monsters. Before you all arrived, we were about to send several more spies to Mount Othrys."
"I am no spy for Gaea, swear on the Styx. It is no coincidence that we arrived right on time before you sent those spies though. You want to know where I've been? All of you? Simple," said Octavian, thunder booming. "I left to follow Percy, believing that he was a spy as he came so suddenly and left just as sudden. None of you thought that to be weird, some even glad to get rid of the son of Neptune. Make no mistake, I was glad the he was gone as well, but it didn't seem right that a son of Neptune, one who's aura would draw monsters to kill in in less than a week, would just suddenly leave our sanctuary, so I followed."
"I made a mistake though. After following him for several days, where he came out of the hotel with Ryan, Lycaon's pack arrived. Seeing me first, they attacked me, and I almost died from severe blood loss, when Percy and Ryan found me. They treated my wounds, which surprised me especially the way I treated Percy back then. They then made me an offer, to join the Deathseekers. Using his blessing from Athena, he knew that you would brand me a traitor, as I had no evidence to back me up for my actions. So I accepted, when I accepted though, I felt a horrible pain where Lycaon himself bit me on the side of my head." said Octavian, his blue eyes pulsing orange yellow, as if the sun was fading in and out of his eyes. "When Lycaon bit me, he altered me, in ways even he would not expect. Despite the dirty mutts they are, they were creatures of the night, biting me would've turned me into a werewolf as the mortals call it. Instead, my head burned in agony, and I almost died right there. When I finally woke up, I saw Percy entering through the tent, but he was transparent. Several seconds later, the real Percy walked through the tent, which freaked me out. Answering all of his questions before he even asked them, I knew what happened to me as I heard the analysis before he even gave it out. Instead of turning into a werewolf, as a legacy and son of Apollo, it simply consumed the powers of the night and sparked something that could've killed me, or save me. Without the mask, I have true foresight, as I already see your shocked reactions and questions. We do not have time for this now though as we must proceed to the issue at Mount Othrys as Percy is about to say." concluded Octavian, the entire room unable to say anything, even Reyna, who put aside her anger to judge the new Octavian before her to solve the crisis that they were dealing with Gaea. Without another second wasted, Octavian gave the room one last look before snapping his fingers, the mask attaching itself back on as the clasps disappeared, only for him to summon.
"The amount of teddy bears we've avoided is amazing, but his foresight is really tiring, Rachel is the only one who can now issue prophecies which is why the Greeks and Romans must unite. Here's the prophecy so you guys know why Mount Othrys is once again the base for monsters and all who serve under Gaea:
The wild card has changed fate
Leaving the future with a new slate
The Seven must be guided by both packs
For time draws short
As the turned ones make their attacks
Once again at the forsaken fort."
"The turned ones?" asked Reyna.
"Yeah, we believe that some of the Thirteen will be at Mount Othrys." replied Percy.
"So what do you need from us?" she asked.
"Reyna! He's a Greek, maybe they're the turned on-" blurted Marcus, only for a large crack sounding right next to his ear, as he jumped to see Ryan with only a finger through the wall.
"I was going to do it Ryan, joy buzz." muttered Octavian.
"Shouldn't have acted all cool and put the mask back on." said Ryan as he pulled his finger out, ignoring Marcus.
"What was that fo-" demanded Marcus, only for Ryan to appear this time right in front of his face, his katana almost up his left nostril. When Marcus finally processed the fact that there was a katana almost up his nose, he fainted out in shock.
"About time he shuts up." muttered Ryan.
"I would've preferred him falling on your sword." whispered Octavian.
"Sorry about Marcus, Jason didn't have a replacement when he disappeared, and Marcus being the one gifted with words, became the acting praetor." apologized Reyna, the only reaction from the Romans were those that supported him clenching their fists and grimacing.
"Back to the topic besides all these interruptions, before we set off to Mount Othrys, it would be easier if we took out the monsters that come to the camp, reduce their numbers a little bit." stated Artemis.
"That seems fine with me, are you okay with a couple Greeks and a dragon Reyna in New Rome?" Percy asked as he looked from Artemis to Reyna.
"It certainly is befitting to be a warm-up if we are to meet the rest of the Greeks." replied Reyna.
"Then that's it to this-" Percy concluded until he paused, as if he saw a ghost. Immediately, the Deathseekers, Artemis, Thalia, and Phoebe had their hands ready to draw their weapons. "-meeting. By the way, we don't really need a strategy plan for a small battle like this Reyna, just don't die and it'll be over." finished Percy.
"Are you sure?"
"Trust me, some of the Deathseekers are still sharpening their reflexes when discerning an ally or foe while in the craze of battle." Percy said, Blayze whistling on top of the suitcased form of Festus.
"Well, then, make yourself at home." said Reyna, leaving the room, the Romans following her, leaving Percy with everyone else, including members of the Seven. The moment they left, Percy turned to look at the opposite wall of the Senate House, an odd look in his eye.
"What is it Percy?" asked Frank.
"You guys...were you hiding a temple from me when I first joined?" questioned Percy. Upon hearing this, everyone was wondering what he
"I don't think so...why?"
"You can show yourself." said Percy. Immediately, everyone except Artemis drew their weapons when they saw something appear from behind one of the seats of the Senate, only to be taken aback in shock. For in front of them was a little boy with extremely messy hair, one eye sea green and one eye gold. In front of them, was the younger version of Percy.
"You made it." said the little Percy.
"Who are you?" asked the regular Percy.
"What do you think?"
"You're a human though."
"This isn't my real form."
"Have you been here all along?"
"Yup."
"So, do I just follow you or do I have to look for you myself?"
"I don't really need to show you, looks like the girl over there knows, you just need to be careful."
"Careful? What type of monster?"
"Me."
"Right, you won't go down without a fight."
"I'll see you then, later." said the younger version of Percy as he vanished in a wisp of gold, a determined look on set on the older Percy's face, while everybody was just staring at Percy confused.
"What-"asked Ryan
"on-" continued Octavian
"earth" said James
"is" Xekes said.
"going" wondered Nemean.
"ON?!" yelled Blayze.
"We'd like to know that as well." said Thalia, the hunters and the Seven nodding, Artemis still having a grim look on her face.
"That everybody, is my past self."
Whoa, wait, what, meh, next chapter.
